THE OUTLOOK IN KANSAS.

From the Drovers Journal
The number of sheep returned for tax

of 1854 head as compared with the
previous year. Kansas is one of the
States in which sheep-raisers in many

There is no working-man's life so in

a shepherd should be proud of his pro-

jet for poets from Homer down. The
Chaldean shepherds first counted the
nightly hours by the aid of the starry
heavens. and thus laid the foundation of
of the glorious science of modern astron-
omy. But it was not alone in the gentler
occupations that the ancient shepherds
were invincible. Isis and Osiris fled be

than five hundred years. The Scythian
shepherd was long the terror of the an

THE SHEPHERD.

1t is my intention to give detailed de-
scription of the management of sheep in
Montana, and think it advisable to first
say a few words in regard to the most
important person on sheep ranch-the
shepherd. \ poor shepherd means loss
and misfortune; Il good one, profit and
fortune. In more favored climes "A shep-
herds life may resemble a Tityrus or "a
Corydon, but in hyperborean Montana
his surroundings are more appropriate to
a Polyphemus.
He should be a man in his prime of a
good constitution and sound Judgment.

be "A brave, intelligent and reliable man.

and gifted with calm philosophy and Il

How the Montgomery Demon

Favorable and Unfavorable Comments on

COLUMBUS, o., April 30.-The demonstra-
tion in honor of Jefferson Davis, and his
utterances at the Montgomery (Ala.) de-
monstration, have been the subject of Sc
we're criticism here to-day. The Times
(Dem.) headlines the indignation meeting
of Soldiers at Albany, last night, as fol-
lows, but says nothing editorially: 'Want-
ed, at Albany, fool-killer, with his club,
and wanted quick. The Empire Capital
advertises itself the biggest fool of the
season. Ready to declare war on the
South" The Dispatch independently this
evening thinks the demonstration at Mont
gomery all right, but condemns JEFF Davis
utterances. The State Journal (Republi-
CAM will say tomorrow that it is hard to
tell whether the demonstration at Mont
gomery is the funeral of the Confederacy
or an attempt at it's resurrection, and that
it appears too lively for funeral
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The reception

who made him their leader in 1861. 1t is
natural that he should be given the ova-

| patriotic in his address he should be hung
before he leaves town. 1t may be the
means of starting the Republican press
at the North in saying that the South is
still in rebellion, and the Confederate flag
is floating from the staff of every build

dead of the South, and it was but fit that
