The following story may be true or not,
but it illustrates a point in politics: An
anti-railroad orator had the floor in the
Florida Legislature the other day. He
gave an eloquent recital of the high-han-
ded outrages committed by the railroads,
and in conclusion exclaimed with telling
effect: "And why, let me ask this hon
orable body, do the railroads dare do
this?" At this point a bony legislator
three seats in front of him rose, and
drawing from his pocket a handful of
railroad passes, said: This is why"
The eloquent orator had no more to say.
Hundreds of absurd stories have been
told about the disposal of Booths body.
Booth was secretly buried under the floor
of the old arsenal on the island in Wash
ineton. In February, 1869, President
johnson gave an order for the disinter-
ment of the body. A New York World
reporter was present and identified the re-
mains. The coffin was placed in a box
and driven to the depot, where it was
shipped to Baltimore to Edwin and Jun
ius Brutus Booth. Wilkes Booth now
reposes in the cemetery in Baltimore by
the side Of his father.

Yesterday was the most pleasant day of
the season. The warm weather caused
the snow to disappear and gangs of men
were kept busy cleaning the cutters and
giving the water a chance. Last evening
clouds gathered, and shortly before mid
night snow began falling.
The time when the unfavorable reports
commence to come in from the ranges has
arrived just as regularly as the years
roll around, at this season accounts Of
hundreds Of dead cattle become rife, and
wise and otherwise predictions are made
in relation to the great losses that will
take place among the herds. Somehow
these predictions have never come true,
and there is very good reason for believ-
ing that they will never be fulfilled There
is a large drift of cattle on the north side
of the Arkansas, and feed will run short
there, and the loss viii be what it has
generally been in the past years. But the
drift is no larger than it has been in pre-
vious years. and perhaps not so large. AS
men have always found plenty of cattle to
round up, they will find plenty during the
present year. There is no reason for be-
coming scared, and no sense in the lugu-
brious prophesies of the melancholy chaps
who always see the weeping clouds and
never the smiling sun.

Representative Miller, Of Texas, is said
to be one Of the largest owners of cattle
in that state. Certainly he is the cattle
king of the house. He is two-thirds
owner in a ranch which contains 4sO
square miles, and has about lOO, 900 head
of cattle upon it. Besides this he is part
owner in a bank and is a successful law
yer and a business man. He is a cheer
full fellow, always smiling and ready to out
with a laugh at anything worth laughing
at. He lives at the Metropolitan hotel
in a quiet way, accompanied by his wife
and daughter, making no particular dis
play OF his wealth. In the house he is
very quiet, seldom coming to the surface.
His manner of life is in strange contrast
with that Of some other members who
are penniless. except in so far as their
salaries 80. And there are plenty Of them.
They spend their salaries as fast as they
get them in fast living, and stand off their
little bill as long as they can.
