Branding Cattle on the Frontier.

The subject of branding cattle at the
west can but interest your eastern readers
1t is a matter OF importance, for it is the
only method of establishing title to four
footed property. Every stock owner has
his brand which is regularly recorded and
is well known. it is an immense affair, as
large as frying-p pan, and is Turned In
the shoulder of the ANIMAL When the lat
ter changes owners, the sellers brand is
rented, i. e. turned up-side-down and burned
on the hip, and the pur haser puts his own
brand on the other shoulder. Consequently,
If an animal is so unlucky as to pass through
many hands, he begins to look like a war
map.
Every frontiersman always notes the
brands upon all the stock that he meets. If
you should ask one of them if he had seen a
red steer with white patch on his right
eye, branded with a dot in cir lie ana two
notcheS in his left ear, he would tell you he
saw him yesterday forenoon with three
other cattle of SO and-so's herd, near such
and such pla e, and you Will probably
find him there
we uf,coscrcu, however. that there are
ways that are dark on the prairie, as well
as in cities. 1t seems to be generally I'M
stood that promising steer or horse that
might find its way INTO the herd of a ranch
man, other than the owner, would be apt to
lie found to have acquired a new brand in
some mysterious manner. 1t was asserted
that hot frying pan, placed over an old
brand, would obliterate it SO as to render
Identification impossible Croton oil, we
were told, was also sometimes used for the
same purpose by some cattlemen who did
not shrink from stealing another property.

to the New World Comstock was toiling
over in American Flat Ravine when Peter
O'Riley and Pat Mclaughlin discovered the
Comstock lode. Old Virginney James

casual conversation about some indications
he had seen over at Gold Hill while hunting
deer, but he attached no Importance to
them.
The two men went over and decided to To-
cata In sinking hole for water, rEhen
four feet down, they struck decompOse1 ore
at the point where Ophir mine now is The
odd looking black dirt did not at first at
tract their attention, but as it is the custom
with miners to Try everything, Mclaughlin

washed it out The result was astonishing
The bottom of the rocker was litel ally COW

Solution of the Great Secret.

l have Just received the first news of the
most startling discovery yet made in this
branch of chemistry, which brings us
nearer to the solution of the great secret
than almost all else that has preceded it 1t
is simply this that the ultimate cells of
which all organic matter, vegetable and
animal, is butt up, contains an alkaloidal
substance callei adenine, which is the exact
isomer of hydro yanic or prussic acid; and
further, that this substance is being pro-
duced Y the normal decomposition of the
nuclei of these ceils-a process which is con-
tinuous as long as life exists
This discovery shows that the ultimate
particles or cells Of the healthy body are
engaged in the ceaseless production of a
poison of the most tremendous energy. but
which, so long as the machinery of the
system is in perfect working order, is rem
dered inert as fast as it is produced by the
reaction Of other chemical products OF the
healthy cellular system, There is nothing
more natural or rational than the deduction
that any arrangement of this evenly coun-
terbalanced action and reaction should re-
suit in the intoxication of the grand cellu-
lar aggregate physi al body.-Dr. +.

AND YET.

The morning broke and spring was there
And lusty summer near her birth;
The birds awoke and walked the air,
And flowers awoke and walked the earth
aUp!" quo.h he, "what 10y for me
On dewy plain, in budding brake!
A sweet bird sings on every tree,
And flowers are sweeter for my sake
Lightly DER the plain he slept,
Lightly brushed he through the wood,
And shared little bird that slept
And lad not Weakened when she would
Lightly through the wood he brushed,
Lightly stepped he o er the plain
And yet-a little flower was crushed
That never raised its head again

ABLACK DOLLY WARDEN"
Brief Tale of Chewing Gum-How a
Ex-Slave Became Famous.

A Brief Tale of Chewing Gum-How an
Ex-Slave Became Famous.
A prominent insurance man, friend Of
the reporter, is an nveterate spruce gum
chewer as is also bis wife, a prominent So
ciety lazy. He said he had first contracted
the habit while visiting in Canada, near the
beautiful lake OF Loeb Lomond The black
spruce tree grows in large numbers through
that section and the gum is highly priced by
the natives One of the chief gatherers of
the gum is Lie Taylor, 1.-the, agile, old
negro woman who was formerly slave in
the south but escaped through the under
ground rairoad' into Cana Ia Lie is a
great character and was made famous some
years ago, when the Dolly Warden fashion
was the rage, in THIS way Lie is always
to be found near a tourist party with bas-
ket Of spruce gum which she sells tor 80
or Is cents pound, and rarely
fails to sell to any one she accosts, owing
to her originality, which is striking.
When the rage of the Dolly Warden was at
its height, large party of New Workers
and Brookynites visited the vicinity of
Loeb Lomond and of course met with Lize
who drove thriving trade in gum.
The gentleman referred to was one OF the
party and was and is as full of fun as an
egg is of meat He detested the Dolly Var
den style OF dress which his wife affected
and he determin ID to play joke by dress
ing Lie up in Dolly Warden style, and
quietly securing one of the loudest Dolly
Warden dresses belonging to his wife he sue
ceeded in prevailing upon Lie to array her
self in the garments, and the next day his
wife was surprised by being accosted by
black Dolly Warden who requested her to
buy some gum. 1t was Lie Taylor. A
travelling photographer happened to be in
the neighborhOod and took Lies picture in
the Dolly Warden dress and sent the proof
to New York, where a cut was made from
it, and in less than a month Lie Taylor
was famous as the "Black Dolly Warden"
Thousands of cards with her figure on them
were used for advertising throughout the
country and in her humble cottage on the
St Lawrence river Lie proudly displays
the original picture to her numerous visi
tors. She boasts that she sold gum to all
the prominent people who have ever visited

IN THE DAYS OF THE cONFEDERAcY.

How Business Was Transacted During
the War-An Era Of Speculation.
In those days it was out of the question
to have any selling mark affixed to goods
Prices rose too rapidly for that Clerks
were instructed to raise their figures about
once a week, sometimes jumping up 10 per
cent and sometimes as high as 30 per cent
Customers living in cities and towns took
all this as a matter of course. They found
Confederate money easy to get and spent it
literally. Country people, however, were
emphatic in their protests Money was
scarce with them, and as many of their
breadwinners were in the army, they bad
bad time.
In the cities active young men who had
been clerking on $50 or $40 dollars
month set up in business for themselves as
soon as they saw the dawn of flush times
They made money 1t was not necessary
to buy with Judgment All they had to do
was to buy something, in fact anything,
and it soon turnea to gold-that is, to Con-
federate money. This sudden prosperity
ruined many good fellow. recollect one
clerk, a model young man, a straight-faced
chap, who threw up his job in the summer
of '6i and plunged into specula-
ton In two years he was
bloated bondholder. His carriage and
coachman fairy glittered One Of his
speculative Investments was wife and she
exhibited his diamonds to splendid advan-
tage He was too sharp to be caught nap
ping, and when the war ended he had money
enough to satisfy any reasonable man.
Then came bad luck. His wife died. His
diamonds and equippage disappeared He
lost at every turn, and few years ago
when l saw him for the last time he was a
sloveny barkeeper in third-rate saloon.
More than one man in Atlanta made mill
ions out of government contracts Specu-
lators, tradesmen and manufacturers struck
it rich. What did they do with their
money! Some spent it in extravagapt liv-
ing. Some purchased slaves, end others
bought Confederate bonds. Others, still
looked ahead and prepared for The final
crash These turned their money into
greenbacks, gold, town property, tobacco,
cotton, diamonds, etc. One man owned 100
dwelling houses in Atlanta. After Sher-
mans visit he had about twenty left An
other successful business man purchased
thirty plantations b sides all of the Atlanta
property he could get
OF the men VINO a. cumulated wealth SO
rapidly and invested it SO wisely, how many
held their grip on their fortunes! Not one!
1t is startling thing to put in cold type,
but as | look back over a long list OF men
who rose from comparative poverty to af-
tluence during the war, l can not think of
single one who is in comfortable circum-
stances to-day. Constitution.
