A Cute "Kid."

New hork IriDune.
Almost the sharpest person ever met was
a tiny girl of about years old. She would
treasure up phrases and quotations she had
heard other people make use Of, and bring
them out in the oldest way.
One evening her mother failed to do some
thing which she had been asked to do, her
father made use of the quotations: "'Tis
folly to remember, and It's wisdom to fo!-
get"
Quite an hour after the child's nurse came
TO take her to bed. She walked round the
room, said "good mig ht" to every one, then
entered into an animated conversation with
an elderly man.
The nurse still stood at the door waiting
for the child, SO her mamma called her.
baby, dear"
No notice.
''Baby, dear"
"'Es, mamma"
"Have you forgotten that nurse is wait
ingi"
Such a wicked little face was turned round,
such knowing smile played round her lips,
and lurked within her eyes.
''Tis folly to wemember, and It's wisdom
to fordet," she said. then ran out of the
r""m roaring with laughter at her own wit.

Thousands of Dead Cattle.
What a Correspondent of a Chicago
Paper Saw in the Far West.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-The Tribune has
the following from correspondent at
Mlller's Camp, Indian Territory: 81
started from Caldwell, Kansas, on the
9th ultimo, OkIahome, in spring wa
gon, with a guide, two runners and
four horses. The trail is showed up
and there were no landmarks to 90 bv.
Scattered all along the trail ale hun
dreds or carcasSes OF dead cattle. The
hrst night we stopped at Ranch 1O1 =,
known as George Miller's. Mr.. Miller
is considered the richest cattle man i'm
the Indian Territory, haying upwards
OF $4,000 cattle. Many of them are
starving. He nov has large number
OF extra cow boys gathering them up
and is shipping them to the states to
feed. Ranch 101 is twenty-five miles
from Caldwell and ten miles from the
Salt Forks river. Hatch and his forces
camped near this place the first night
they were in the territory, and it has
been enormously reporte d that they
swan the Salt Forks. The fact is they
camped on it's banks till the river went
down. The whole of the Indian terri
tory is covered with about five inches
Of snow. The report that the Cherokee
strip and Oklahoma haye meyer been
surveyed is untrue. 1 have counted
any number of section corner-stones.
1t is stated that there are over one mill
ion herd of cattle in the Cherokee strip.
1t the present cold weather holds out a
week longer one-half of these will per-
lsh. Over third of million are al
ready dead.'
