CATTLE KINGS.
How Foreign Mobiles Acquire Fortunes
the Plains of Texas.

How Foreign Mobiles Acquire Fortunes o.
the Plains of Texas.
The public does not realize the enor-
nous extent of the vast profits of the
western cattle-raising business, as it is
now conducted in Texas, New Mexico
and the plains, as far north even as
Wyoming and Montana. The little
book, "Cattle-Raising on the Plains"
by Walter, Baron Won Richthofen, gives
much valuable information on this sub
ject. The author has been in the brsi-
ness and lived among the stockmep of
Colorado and other quarters. The qrck
and large profits of the business = it
can be conducted by great syndicdfe5
of companies more especially, arc
tempting great numbers of foreigners,
titled and otherwise, to embark in it
and to keep extending not only their
herds but their landed acquisitions, by
purchase or, apparently, b any other
practicable means. The Pairie Cattle
Company controls domain cOnsidera7
bly, larger than the State of Connecti-
cut. 1t is partitioned Of into three
divisions each having its5ystem of gov,
eminent. Its herd of 10000 or 10000
cattle, its army of raIcheros or cow
boys and its hundreds of horses, all
busy, and all espcciallyin use in tho
annual round-ups. or gathering of tho
cattle for counting md for branding
the calves. This NV Mexico and
Texas company aloe have 100000
head of cattle and property, all told,
that is rated at between 100000 and
S5,000,000. individual cattle kings arc
mentioned who own p,000 head of cat
tie and 700, 900 acres II more each, re-
quiring 2jO miles of fencing. Scotch
companies, English companies, French
companies, titled foreigners and I'M
titled, as well as great numbers Of
Americans, are engaged in this prohta-
BILE business.
The Prairie Cattle Company began
only three years ayo, yet they now
have 100000 head ofcattle, after hav-
ing sold enough to ray all expenses to
date and leave clean profit of about
100000. Other syIdicates are doing
a similar large and profitable business.
They find it profitable to grader their
stock. The improvement of the old
Spanish-TeXan stock by crossing it
with strain of Hereford or Shorthorn
OF other blooded stock pays very well
in the larger animal and in the in
creased market price of the beef Many
of these great "eattle kings" have al
ready become millionaires and many
more are fast becoming such.-Hart-

TEMPERANCE.
THE DRUNKARD'S DEATH.

\ Story Told to Child.
Long years will pass and tears will flow
And my young heart grow old,
But shall near forget the tale
The nclghb 0rs came ana told
Twas round the fire they told the tale,
They spoke with trembling breath
seem TO hear their voices now
HE died drunkard 5 death"
In sin he lived in sin he died,
And cast his soul away;
And he will stand before Gods throne
Upon the judgment day"
This is the tale they told; and now
lay awake at night,
And think | see God judging him,
And tremble with alright.
And then there rises in my mind
The story of his life;
The empty, squalid, cherries room
The scene of drunken strife.
His starving Wife and children left
at home to weep and die,
While he, half-senSeess, mad with drink,
Heeds not their dying cry.
And was he once u child like me
a simple, loving child?
And like the Infant Jesus, too,
So pure, and meek, and mild?
And was his guardian angel there
To watch him us he fell!
And il he fell, and Others fall,
May l not fall as well!
o God. have mercy on his soul,
And save him from his sin;
And when the struggle comes for me,
q help me then to win.
Let long years pass, and let tears flow,
And let our hearts grOW old
But never let that tale OF woe
or you and me he told.

With flush on her pale and wrinkled

And Mortified, mortified, mystified air,

And the maiden mecca nice little maid

LIBERAL DAMAGES.


Why Judge Instructed the Jury in Favor
OF the PLAINTIFF.
Aman who had been arrested, charged
with misdemeanor, brought suit for ma
licious imprisonment. When the case
was brought up for trial the Judge
asked:
Upon what, sir, do you base this
suit? l understand that you did commit
misdemeanor.
Eyes, Jedge, l don't deny that"
Then how could the Imprisonment
have been malicious?n
"Well, you see, thar was a circus in
town the day | was arrested. WANTED
to 60 to the show but the officer cheated
me out of it, just as the elephant and
the spotted boss come along, the officer
showed me into Jail. Why didn't he
wait until the show was over before he
arrested me?"
Your point is a very strong one"
said the Judge. The meteorological
an American citizen is to see the circus.
The jury will please assess liberal dam
ages. "-ArkanSda0 Traveller.

FOX AND FOWL,
Cute Reynard's Sagacity in the Role of an
Undertaker.

Cute Reynard's Sagacity in the Role of an
Undertaken.
A pleasing incident, that adds to the
foX's reputation for shrewdness that is
somewhat better than cunning, appears
in the Liverpool Courier. A Scotch
correspondent writes to that journal:
Zone Of the stalkcrs in The deer forest
here has young fox which he caught
when quite a cub, and which he keeps
chained to a kennel near his cottage.
The other day he gave the creature q
dead crow, thinking he might like the
amusement of eating it; but Reynard,
after careful consideration, thought the
bird condition rather called for decent
burial, and therefore he dug with his
forepaws 4 large enough hole in front
of his kennel, and when finished he put
the bird into it, laying it on its back,
with its claws in the air. -
The stalker, who was watching the
animal, saw him then scrape the loose
earth over the bird so as to quite cover
its body; but the legs still stuck up in
the air These legs seemed to annoy
him good deal. and he tried to press
them down with his nose. Failing in
this, and after evidently turning the
matter over in his mind, he bit the legs
off, laid them flat beside the bird and
then covered everything over with
earth

for we thought he was going to drink
it; but he took it and threw it-smash!
right into the CRATE, and the bottle
after it.
There" he said, ''TI see if you'll
stand between me and saving my
boy!" and he reached for the pen and
wrote Herbert Standish," in those
great letters of his.
We didn't stay long, only to hug and
kiss him, and then we skipped upj
stairs where mamma and Glare were
sitting 50 white and anxious. They,
could hardly believe it, but there it
was-papa's name.
They consulted with us awhile, and
then they decided that, as we had had
such good success with papa, we might
try alone with Ned.
We heard him practicing the violin
in his room, but when we knocked
hard, he said:
Come in"
Well, we were even more scared
than when we went to papa; but he
took the paper and read it, and when he
saw papa's name, he whistled right out;
"Wh-e-w!"
Then his face began to work, Just
like Mays does when she is going to
cry, and he walked to the window and
blew his nose hard. May. she took the
pen and paper to him, and said:
Please, brother Ned, won't you
write your name here?" And then she
told him, so sweetly, about papa's
feeling so bad and throwing the wine
into the CRATE. He trembled some. but
he said:
. Yes, will. I'll keep it, too, God
helping me. If father can, can. "
And that's how we got Ned to sign,
and we are all so happy now.-Dih-

How a Marriage Was Prevented.

A remarkable story of the triumph of
fashion over love comes from France.
A Lyons artist was engaged to be mar
ried to a young lady, and the invita-
tons for the wedding had been sent
out. The bridegroom had hearty dis
like for the appendage to ladies' dress
commonly known as the hustle. In
speaking to his bride of her wedding
gown, he happened to mention his wish
chat this addition should be dispensed
with. 80, nor responded the young
lady; Il must be married in such a
dress, or / will not be married at all. "
And so the engagement ended, She
would not give up the dress she wanted,
and he would not marry her in it, 1t is
evident that they were very self-opin-
donated or else not very deeply in love
with one another.-N Y Ledger

The Russian Mission.


EX-Gov. Pickens, OF South Carolina,
was sent as United States Minister to
Russia before the war. He was a robust,
healthy man when he went. The rigor-
Gus climate made him an invalid. He re-
turned with MS constitution shattered,
the victim of lung troubles. The winters
are frightful in st. Petersburg. Gov.
Pickens had a funny experience. He
found that his lamps were strangely de
nuded of Oil. The lights would be put
out at bedtime, and, if it became necessa-
ry in the night to relume them, they Would
be found empty. And, upon noticing, it
was found that they were entirely empty
in the morning. A watch was insti-
tuted, and it was discovered that the
servants drank the oil at night for
the warming effect. MIR. Orr, of South
Carolina, was also Minister to Russia
after the war under Republican admins
traton, and suffered bad results to his
health from the severe winters. 1t is
likely that Gen. Lawton has done wise
thing in declining the Russian mission.
His health is not strong. The serious ill
ness he had year or two ago, from which
he has recovered, must have left bis con-
stituti0n more or less impaired. The ia
nous John Randolph, Of Virginia, was
Minister 10 Russia, and was compelled to
give it up on account of the climate and
his feeble health. Russia is sort of
plenipotentiary graveyard 1t is said to
be a very expensive IN ssi0n, too, the so.
cial duty of entertainment being costly in
its performance.

A big bear has been playing havoc
with hogs on Single creek for some time,
having killed about twenty head. Stuart
Timer and Manley S. Bass succeeded in
killing him last week. He killed two OF

There is a family of negroes living on
Judge Gwynn's place, about 10 miles east
of Tallahassee, who subsist almost en-
tirely on rabbits. They have consumed
since Jan. 1, lS2 rabbits. A boy and dog
are kept busy hunting, while the balance
of the family works the crop to furnish
the bread and clothes.
Grasshoppers are reported in large
numbers by Leon county farmers up near
the Georgia line. One farmer says he got
rid of his grasshoppers very enectualiy
by forming his labOrers in a line with
brushes and driving the pesky insects
into his neighbours field where the grass
was SO green and sweet that they never
returned.
While some little white girls were skat-

protested. and one informed her father of
the insult. The latter seized a board,

George II. Jones, cOlored, of Tallahas-
see, while somewhat intoxicated, hired a
buggy and went for a drive. On Jetfer-
/ son street he drove into a gully 10 feet
deep. He was instantly killed, his neck
being broken. The buggy was completely
wrecked, and the horse badly injured.
! Jones was a waiter at the Morgan hotel.
A few minutes after the accident Jupiter
Reed, cOlored, came along going to mill.
His horse took fright, ran away, and
dashed right into the crowd standing
around the victim of the accident, barely
missing the corpse and coming near run
ming over several people. The buggy was
turned over and smashed up, and the corn
scattered promlscuously, but Jupiter
crawled out from the debris unhurt. Sew
eral men standing on the side of the street
next to the deep gully prevented the
horse from dashing in on the top Of the
! first wreck.
