A UNITED STATES infantry lieutenant
who crossed the river at Eagle Pass was
assaulted by a mob Of Mexicans in
Piedras Negras, last Saturday, and
driven across the river with shower OF
stones and other missiles. prominent
stockman OF Uvalde was similarly
treated half hour later. Mexican cav
airy and infantry are massiLg in Piedras
Negras and patrolling the river for sew
eral miles above and below. This con-
dition of things will necessarily lead to

IT positively stated that an envoy
left Washington last Saturday bearing
the governments ultimatum, that Cut
ting must be released willingly or by
force The information comes in the
shape Of a telegram from +. B. Dicken-
son, special correspondent at Washing
ton for the New Orleans States, to his
journal. 1t Is confirmed by the operator
at Las Cruces who says that telegram
passed over the wires Saturday after
noon from Secretary Bayard to the City
Of Mexico demanding the immediate and
unconditional surrender OF Cutting.
These rumors and reports and all Others
of like character lack confirmation. All
that has been authoritatively given out
by the government was the statement
made last Saturday evening, that Cen
eral Sedgwick had been commissioned
to proceed to Paso del Norte and Chi
huahua to examine the court records in
the Cutting case and report the same to
the department Of state at Washington.
1t is safe to say that beyond this the adj
ministration have done nothing.

The Bexar county republican conyen-
ton Enthusiastically favored the nomina-
ton Of state ticket as well as the COM
plete organization of the party in every
precinct, county and district Of the
State. The resolutions offered on this
subject were SO overwhelmingly carried
that any faotious opposition to them
would be the height Of folly. The LIGHT
surrenders its private opinion on this
matter to the expressed will OF the con-
vention and falls into line accordingly.

The Austin republicans did not fall
into line with the Bexar county repub-
licans, and, declining to put into nomi-
nation straight republican ticket, en-
dorsed the ticket composed mainly Of
independent democrats. What the Waco
convention will do in this matter remains
to be seen. The fine Italian hand of ex-
Mayor DEGREES is reported to be the
architect Of this Travis county move
ment, and was very conspicuous in the
nomination of the county ticket.

The EXCUSES are now coming to the
front for the manner in which the Gal
weston convention pitched the Alliance
and the Knights over the fence, sans GER
emory. mo objection to members of
these societies sitting in democratic
convention as democrats, but when they
appear In their official character, as in
the case Of the Cooke county delegation,
they are to be politely kicked out :" 80
says one Of the daily organs of the party,
speaking for the convention. The facts
are all adverse to the statement, by i'm
plication, that the Cooke county delega-
ton came as the official representatives
OF either the Alliance or the Knights.
The action Of that convention, judged
Of its proceedings, declares that no Alli-
ance man or Knight Of Labor, known to
be such, has any right to seat as dele
gate In democratic convention. The
logic Of the unseating Of the regularly
elected delegation OF Cooke county, sole
ly because the members who composed
that delegation were Alliance men and
Knights, means purely and simply that
these men have no place in a democratic
convention. The whole course Of the
convention is eloquent with its denunci-
alton Of the Alliance and the Knights Of
Labor. The attempted apology for that
unceremonious pitching over the fence,
Is about as satisfactory as the bulls paw
Ing was to the Irishman after he had
hoisted him over the pickets.

FROM the report OF the Houston repub-
lican convention held last Saturday, 1t
appears that no delegates were selected
to attend the state convention, and that
the only business transacted was the or
ganization Of the county committee and
the appointment Of eleven delegates to
meet an equal Lumber from Galveston,
to put in nomination candidate for the
office OF attorney OF the criminal dis
trict. A resolution looking to amalgs-
nation with the independents was
showed under. Harris county republic

A Hint to Stockraisers.

The headline of the Arkansaw Tray-
ctcr consists of two pictures. One rep
resents q stranger riding up to a typical
shanty densely inhabited by a mar
wearing a coon-skin cap and his family.
The roof Of the cozy little cottage cries
aloud for repairs. In reply to a ques-
ton from the stranger the proprietor is
supposed to say that the reason he does
not repair the roof is because he would
get wet if he attempted any such rash
act in rainy weather. AS for repairing
it in dry weather there was really no
occasion for it. Such logic is simply
unanswerable.
There are q great many stockmen in
Texas who argue in the same line as
the Arkansas man. In winter it is too
cold to erect shelter for the stock, and
in summer they don't need any shelter.
Commenting on this penny wise,
pound foolish management, a well in
formed exchange takes occasion to re-
mark.
The money involved in the loss of
200, 900 head of cattle in Texas, if the
number be not exaggerated, would have
erected shelter places from the storm
for many times that number. The oc-
currence of these billiards., Or "norsh-
ers.' every winter, it would seem should
suggest to prudent ranchmen some per-
mancnt protection for their herds

A DOG That Consulted the
Clock

An old farmer from Amboy, Oswego
county, took great interest; in tbs trained
dogs which appear in tie Grand opera
house this week as they were taken into
the Candee house after the show last
night. 81 used to have a dog" said the
farmer, which was tho most knowing
,nd intellectual dog you ever sec. He
could tell about what time it was by the
clock just as well as l could. He would
run in the house in the afternoon with
out saying a word to anybody, and look
up at the clock, and if it wasn't quarter
past five he'd 20 off about his own bust
uess. Then he'd come back again and
# it was quarter past 5 he'd bark and
start for the COWS.
''One day my woman thought she'd see
If the dog could be fooled, and at Il
o'clock in the afternoon she turned the
clock to 5. The dog came in, looked
mdifferently up at the clock, stopped.
shook his head and then ran out to look
at the sun. He came back again. squat
ted down again and eyed that clock,
as if he was waiting for q rat. When
the minute hand got around to quarter
past he started off as usual. and before
we could stop him he had all the cows
up in the barnyard. Idrove them back,
and a more mortified person you never
see than that dog. He ran into the
house. but the woman had turned the
hands back to the true time. The dog
jumped up at the clock and acted as il
he wanted to tear it to pieces. He al
ways seemed to distrust the dunn thing
after that."--Syracuse STANDARD.

A Prolific Sheep Country.

The Argentine Republic contains
about one-fourth the area of the United.
States. exclusive of Alaska, and lies
between corresponding degrees of lati-
tude. Sheep growing has long been .
prominent business there, the sheep
being managed much on the ranch sys-
tenn of our western plains. An esti-
mate in a Buneos Ayres journal indi-
Gates that the number of sheep in the
Republic has increased from Al, 0OO, 1000
IN 1870 to 80, 200, 900 in 1884. and the
wool production from 1877, 10000
pounds to 800. 900, coo, being now equal
to if not in excess Of the annual pro-
duction in the United States. q.

The famous system of rotation. now
quite general throughout England and
Scotland, with occasional notifications.
is as follows: The first year, clover and
mixed grass seed; the second year,
wheat; the third year, turnips or ruta-
bagas; the fourth year, barley, and then
the same course again. Another inno-
walton is to add another grain crop, oats,
making a five years course, and so
efficient has this course been that it is
calculated that the grain crops have in
creased o%ne-fourth.
Experience in farming and stock
breeding in the West proves the merits
Of improved stock. BY selecting the
best and discarding the poorest animals
on the farm every year the stock will,
of itself, improve in quality. But life is
too short to make such slow progress.
1t is much quicker and more profitable
to use full blood sircs and grade up
practically. High grades are thus soon
obtained, that, for practical purposes,
are little inferior to full bloods. Such
grading up is within the reach of all
Western farmers.
In sowing timothy with wheat and
other grains the best results are obtain
ed by having the ground dragged and
rolled first.

The Last Man Brotherhood.

1tlS LctSG Mall
Six men upon whose faces the hand
of time has carved those lines that in
dictate that the meridian of life has
passed, walked into a dining-room up
town on Saturday evening and sat
down to a table that looked like that of
the feast i'll the parable where many
were hidden but few came, 1t was set
with plates and chairs for thirty-thrce
persons. The eldest of the six strobe
quickly to the head of the board and
sat down, while the others found seats
near him. No one looked at the TWEEN
ty-seven empty chairs and, us the meal
was Immediately served, it seemed as
though the absentee guests Were not OK
pccted. The dinner was n curiouSlv
quiet one, and but little was said as it
progressed. A gentle melancholy seem
ed to pervade the six. and if pcrchance
a laugh were raised it was quickly hush
cd and a hurried, apologize look cast
at the vacant chairs. When the meal
was ended and the coffee and cigars
came on the chairman of the feast plac-
ed upon the table a bottle whose many
layers of cobwcbs told of long years in II
musty bin.
The history OF this bottle, indeed is a
curious one and well worth the telling.
Thirty years ago, when it was new and
and fresh and its label bright and clean,
it occupied the same position on the ia
Bile at which, like the one on Saturday
night, there were thirty-three chairs,
but this time e>ch chair was filled with
Il merry .fcastcr. and song and story
and merry jest kept the table in a roar.
The thirty-three were all men in the
prime of life, and the dinner was the
first banquet of a society they had just
organized. They were all compositors
on morning papers in Philadelphia,
and inspired by a popular drama of that
day they had resolved to meet together
on the third Saturday of February in
each recurring year. No additionswere
ever to be received to their number,
and when death took away a member
his chair and plate were to be set for
him as on the first night, except that
the survivors moved up q little nearer
the chairman. The bottle was also to
make its appearance at each succeeding
feasts until the day came when but one
man was left of the original number.
Then ne was to uncork the flask, and in
memory of his departed comrades
drink its contents. Then the Last Man,
Brotherhood, as it was called, was to be
at IN end. OF the thirty-three, death
has taken away twenty, and seven could
not attend On Saturday for various rea-
sons. The six who sat down to This
strange banquet were: Robert Dytall.
Michael G. Hart, j. Lesley Anderson,
Walter w. Bell, Peter Shindel and VIM.

The Tailless Cattle Of Florida.

The Tailless Cattle Of Florida.
II noticed yesterday some cattle here
in Jacksonville, and thought that, aside
from their leanness and dim;nutive
size, there was something else peculiar
about them, and studied for some time,
until l suddenly discovered there were
some of them minus tails; others look
ed as though they had about half Of
that useful appendage cut off. In ..
country where flies and mosquitoes are
as plentiful as they must be here I
should think it no less than downright
cruelty for people to treat the poor
creatures in this shameless manner"
My remarks were greeted with rosr
of laughter. BLESS your heart, my
young friend, the people don't do that;
it's the alligators."
.'Alligators?' said !, astonished.
Eyes, the alligators."
"How can that be?n
.'Oh, they grab them when they ara
feeding in the water"
"And bite off their tails, I supposee"
Eyes. they do. You see they creep
up so quietly that the cattle do nat mo-
tice their approach, and the first thing
the animal is aware Of is : jerk "a tho
rear. He tries to get away bet tits of
no use; the harder he pulls the tighter
the alligator holds on, until the append
age gives wsy. and the conqueror swims
off happily"
Highly interesting sight, ! should
think"
..Well, rather, - the question 81
ownership is often highly disputed.
