For TnE ARKANsAw TRAvKLER.
 TO CARRIE.
BY S. S. DAWES.

We thy unconscious charms descry,
 In sweet simplcity's attire: The rhetoric of thy sparkling eye,
 Might light the torch of love's desire. No limner's styles ever drew,
 A form, or face, more fair than thine; Upon thy cheek, its roseate hue,
 Appears both lovely and divine. Thou hast not now one care to mar
 The impress of thy innate worth; Yet caution should prescribe some star Some guide to point thy path on earth. Let meekness be that star-that guide To veil thy truth from envy's storm; With ii thy barque through life canst glid, And bear to Heaven an angel form. We charge thee, do not fix thy trust,
 On admiration's ftful breeze, Or peradventure, blasts will burst
 Upon thee, and thy prospects cease. Preserve that gentle character,
 Which kindly Heaven has given thee; Then, naught will e'er thy hopes defer,
 Or cause thee pangs of misery.

 "Ah, they justify your admiration, for them, no doubt Only allow me to re- mark in passing that, in my young days, young women were not quite so fond of expressing their admiranon for young men in your frank and delightful man ner."
 "Young mani Why, Jacks a boy, years younger than am. I've buttoned his collar and tied his bow for him hun dreds of timesi" cried Patience indig- nantly, her face exactly the color of the crimson cloth she had thrown over the cockatoo's cage, and her knitting pins going at such rate that one might have expected to see sparks fly out from be- meath them.
 Her lips moved rapidly also. It seemed as though she were counting her stitches with telegraphic raps. In reality she was repeating a formula which had been in general use among the young ladies at the boarding school she had just quilted. It ran thus:
 I wish you were in the land
 wish you were in the land
 In the land where the pepper grows.
 It let of the steam so to speak, and it was suggestive
 Frank felt his curiosity as to Jacks personality at rest. He strove to effect diversion by asking random question as to the portrait of an ancient looking individual which hung over the fireplace.
 That" said the doctor, biting his up- per lip, and wrinkling his scalp furiously, 'is the portrait of Sir Geoffley Marven, the last owner of the Manor House. It does him more than justice. am told he was hideous to look at, through his unfortunate habits of facial distortion; he had trick of blinking like an owl in day light whenever he was spoken to-"
 Is he living now?" asked Frank, suddenly at loss for words
 "He died fifteen years ago, in Italy. bou : ht this property of his executors, who were glad enough to get rid of it with it's evil reputation. The story goes that-'
 But there came flu,ter and a sudd'n n movement from the window-seat Up jumped Patience stuck her knittitg pins into her ball of cotton with positive s ab; and then, covering both her ears with her hands, made as fast as possible for the door.

 Her last word carried her out of the room.
 The luncheon-bell changed as she opened the door. The doctor rose ID re- sponse to it, looking grimly after the girls figure

The price of beef continues low and margins on steers purchased for maturity on northern ranges are almost cut of. Still the margin on home raised beef steers is sufficient for reasonable profit. While many large operators will make no money this year, there is no ground for alarm. Reports from the east are encouraging as to the demand for manufactured goods, and a very general revival of trade all over the country is confidently expected. This will put money into general circulation, and give the great mass es of working men who eat beef the means of buying it, and in con sequence increase the demand. Coupled with this revival of trade is another important fact-the farm- CTS of the agricultural states are diminishing their herds in conse- quence of the low price of beef, and the supply from that source will actually grow less for two or three years. The range country being fully stocked there can be no in- crease from it until the irrigable valleys are utilized in hay produc- tion. The population of the coun- try will, however, maintain its steady increase and more beef will be required from year to year. The ebb tide has about run out and very soon the flood will set in. Hence, there is every reason to be- lieve that 1887 will be the begin ming of a profitable era in the West ern cattle business, and those who are we'll situated should hold fast to their moorings. There is a good time coming, boys, and it is not very far off.-Northwestern Live Stock Journal.

By the encouragement of freight rates which went into effect March 1, says the Live Stock and Dairy Review, the cost of shipping a car of live cattle from Chicago to New York was increased $20, while $43 per car was added to the cost of sending thither car load of dress- ed beef. For this advance the in osdinate greed of the railroads is the only excuse that can be ren- dered, The advance was made at a time when the profits to the pool lines of transporting live stock from Chicago to New York were greater than ever before since rail- way traffic began, and at time when the producer was receiving less for his cattle thar almost ever before in the history of the trade. By that advance the value of every bullock in the west was depreciated to the extent of $1 to $1.25 per head. It makes difference in the market value of the cattle received at Chicago of $2,000,O00 annually. This vast sum is filched from the pockets of producers without so much as the shadow of an excuse. There should be remedy for this species of thievery. And is it not about time the live stock associa- tions and the cattle men of the country generally, pooled their issues" and made common canse against the common enemy? The exactions of the anthracite coal monopolists are not more outrage ous than are the demands of the eastern pool railway lines. The Governor of Pennsylvania has in- structed his Attorney General to proceed against the former, and test in the courts their right to rob the public. If the proposed remedy proves efficacious in the case of the ''coal ring" why may it not be ap- piled to the railroad extortionists with equally happy results?

Long, of Fort Bowie, stating that
 Barney Riggs had killed Richmond
 Hudson, at the ranch of Mir. Os- borne, seven miles east of Dos Ca bezas. Constable Hudson was in- formed of the killing, and he, with E. F. Conover and M. Marion, i'm mediately left for the scene of the tragedy. On Thursday, NJ. Moss, better known as "Deadshot," who was present at the murder, was in Wilcox, and gave the following yer sion of the affair; He says that just at dusk Wednesday evening some Mexicans came to Osborne's place, driving about thirty head of horses, and asked permission to corral them for the night. Permis- sion was given, and the horses had just been corraled, and Richmond Hudson, who assisted in the work, was standing in the gate, when Q shot was fired and Hudson fell to the ground. Two more shots rap- idly followed, all taking effect-the first entering the head about two  inches over the right ear, another in the neck and one in the hand. The shooting was done by Barney Riggs, who had approached the corral afoot unseen by any one pres ent. Riggs evidently had a horse concealed near by. as he disappear ed immediately after the murder. He went to the house of his cousin, Thomas Riggs, where his family is stopping, told them that he had killed Hudson, and then taking the best horse on the ranch, rode off and nothing has been heard of him since. There was a feud of long standing between the two men which has at last eliminated in this murder. They were both old residents of Dos Cabezas, and we'll known all through this section. The murdered man was about twen- ty-threc years old, and was gener- ally we'll liked.

During the past week, quite a number of cattle have died within a radius of eight miles from Inde- pendence, California. We have not been able to find single person who can give a clear account of the symptoms of the disease. It would appear that it is very rapid in its course. Several parties report that on going out among the cattle in the morning they have found ami mals dead that appeared to be in good health the preceding day. Aged cows and fat young COWS have died. One party reports having skinned a young steer that died ;
 around the neck and loins, just un- der the skin, the flesh was bloody and looked as though the animal had been bruised. All reports agree that q good deal of the blood was found by each dead animal. In
 some eases the blood has come from
 the mouth, and in others from the
 rectum. If any of our exchanges

The following instance of equine instinct or reason may be put beside the most remarkable of ca nine anecdotes. To the wild Arab his gallant steed is friend almost equally loved with his wife and children. One of these sons of the desert was engaged with a party of marauders in attacking a caravan, when detachment of Turkish soldiers came up, rescued the mer- chants, and took the brigands cap tive. During the night, while our Arab lay bound hand and foot within the tents of his captors, and all were asleep, he heard his horse neigh. He knew his voice in an instant it was close at hand, and he contrived to drag himself to the place whence the sound proceeded, where he found the animal a priso- ner like himself. If I must re- main a slave" he cried, ''let me at least try to render the free" And with his strong teeth he contrived to gnaw through the light fastening that held the horse. Now go," he said, Ego to my wife and children, lick their hands, and tell them thy master will return no more." But, instead of taking instant advan- tage of his freedom, the faithful creature, initiating his masters ex- ample, stopped his head, and be- gan to nibble the thongs that bound his arms, which were soon set loose then finding that still his maetel could not mount, his legs being tied together, he lifted him with his teeth, so that the Arab succeed ed in grasping his mane and draw ing himself up on hic back. Then away flew the sagacious beast, with the speed of the wind, homewards It was a journey of scores of miles over the sandy desert. He bore ur nobly until he reached the we'll known tents, but as his rider leaped from his back into his Wife's arms the gallant steed fell dead Almost incredible as this may read, 1t Is q certified fact, and is but one among many instances of the wonderful intelligence of the Arabian horse -Ex.

A San Antonio (Tex.) dispatch of the 2d inst, the wool market for the week ending to-day has been featureless, except for the extreme ly high prices paid. Last spring trade touched the top notch, with 19c per pound. This fall it has run to 218c The extremely high prices prevailing have scared off northern buyers, and sales are con- sequently slow. The total for the week amounts to ,250 bags. The range has been from 174c to 218c for exceptionally clean wools. A declension is looked for shortly. Eastern firms are constantly tele- graphing their agents here that eastern markets do not justify the price paid. The total sales for the season it Is estimated will be 1, 4,500,- 900 pounds.

Uncle John Wilson, the veteran cowman, was in the Stockman of flee the other day, when the con- versation came up about stocking a ranch exclusively with steers. Uncle John remarked that the man who tried to locate steers without COWS will learn something Says they will collect in little punches of ten to fifty, and just simply leave the country, and that there must not only be COWS on the ranch, but it is better that they drop calves be- fore the steers are put on.-Texas Stockman.

A correspondent of the Inter-Re- publics, writing of the drouth- striken portion of Texas says: The great trouble with that section of country is that when they first com menced stocking the range 1t was in splendid fix. There were water and grass in abundance, and they supposed from it's appearance that
 it could not well be exhausted. They commenced crowding it until they went far beyond it's capacity, and can now see their mistake when it is too late. Stockmen cannot be too cautious in the stocking of their ranges. They certainly have had a terrible lesson and one that will

The great plateau between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierras comprising the Territory of Utah and the State of Nevada, is appa- rently destined to become the great est cattle range in the country. Al ready immense tracts of land, some embracing 250,000 acres, have been purchased, and owners of large herds in Texas and other south western states are looking for ranges in this wide section of nat ural pasture land. The pressure ot settlers who wish to engage in agri- culture, and found homes upon the land in the great plains of the west and south has been to crowd out the cattle kings, who have for years monopolize[ the largest part of the States, which, by nature are better fitted for the raising of crops than the pasturage of herds. Thus there has been hegira of cattlemen to- ward the west, which bids fair to aid materially in the development of those sections of our country that have hitherto been left almost exclusively in the hands of the In. dians and peripatetic gold hunters San Francisco Bulletin.

L. Bashford, who really deserve

L. Bashford, who really deserves to be numbered among the most far-seeing and enterprising citizens of Arizona, is studying out a plan for the erection and running of stock yards in our town, and his efforts should be seconded by the people of town and county. He has spoken to J. W. Sullivan about the matter, and Mir. Sullivan may be induced to take an interest in the plan and business. If so, 1t would be successful from the start and, of course, be of great benefit to town and county, especially if arrange ments for shipping dressed beef can be made. With stock yards here, and, perhaps, a cannery, beeves, and wethers would be driven from all the warm sections to the east, the south and the west, where cat tie keep fat during the winter and spring months; then districts where feed is good in the summer and fall months would furnish their fat stock market. There is money in the business, and we urge all who are in any way interested to aid in the movement.-Prescott Courier.
