Signs of The Zodiac.

The most interesting and original
introduction in a book that we have
ever seen, comes to US in little work
Just received, in the shape of humor-
Gus article entitled 1.-The Twelve Signs
of the Zodiac" illustrated by Thomas
Worth, the well known New York
artist. The old and familiar signs
with which we are so well acquainted
through almanacs and otherwise, are
given a new and every day meaning,
aud we defy any one to look at them
or read the text and not indulge in a
hearty laugh. "Bill Nye's" thrilling
experience with II cyclone is also wit
tily treated by that humorist, and
"Wade Whipple," IN Quad" and
others of those writers of to-day, who
shoot folly as 1t flies" are amongst
the contributors, while artists
such as Opper, Cox and Coffin,
have furnished apt illustrations.
The book, which is the
st. Jacobs Oil Family Calendar and
Book of Health and Humor for the
Million for 1856, is published by The
Charles A. Vogeler Company, of Bal
timore, Nd, and it is only another
proof of the well-earned reputation of
the remedies manufactured by that
house, that such literary lights should
be ready to assist in spreading the
story of the wonderful cures wrought
by st. Jacobs Oil. Another specially

house-Red Star Cough Cure, which

The Range Convention Proceedings.
DENVER, Col, Jan. 27.-The first
international range cattle and horse
growers convention was called to
order in the Grand opera house to-day
by H. NJ. Taylor, who was chosen tenn
porary secretary. Nearly two thou
sand delegates and visiting stock men
were present, representing Texas,
Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado,
Nebraska. Arizona, Indian Territory,
Kansas, New Mexico and Mexico.
The secretary on calling the conven-
ton to order stated:
While the convention has no desire
to cut loose from the national associa-
ton as st. Louis, We realize that the
people OF the east are not familiar with
the requirements OF the cattle growing
interests OF the plains. They know
but little of our system of breeding
aud maturing cattle, which Is wholly
different from that followed in the
agricultural regions, and therefore
they cannot, with wisdom, participate
in deliberations concerning our bust
ness. The interests of the whole
range country are so homogeneous
that We are confident that an organi-
zation limited to members engaged in
the range industry will prove to have
the greatest beneficial results.
Gov. Routt was unanimously chosen
temporary chairman, with G. L..
Brooks, OF New Mexico, secretary. A
committee on credentials was then
appointed by the chair, composed of
one member from each delegation
present. Gov. Eaton, of Colorado
welcomed the cattle men on the part
Of the state. Mayor Joseph Bates fol-
lowed on behalf of the city, after
which A. b. Mathews, of Kansas City,
brought on the stage the mammoth
Galloway steer Jumbo, weighing $500
pounds and presented it to the con.
vention. 1t was intended that the steer
should be slaughtered and divided
among the delegates, but upon motion
the animal was sent to the Colorado
agricultural farm. The committee on
credentials retired, and the conven-
ton took recess until 2 o'clock.
Upon reconvening, j. II. Fergu-
son read paper upon Rail-
road Rates of Transportation

association collecting the rebates,
securing freight rates and transacting
all business for members relating to
the transportation of live stock. f..
Light read u paper upon Branding"
He held that the present method of
branding cattle deprecated the value
of a hide so to 100 per cent. and RECON-
mended putting the brand on the
cheek, neck, or low on the hind legs.
Cattlemen say that in the eastern mar.
kets 1000 unbranded hides will mol
bring one dollar more than the same
number burnt all over with brands.
and until there is a differ ence made IN
the values of such cattle there Is little
prospect Of any action on the subject.
Adjourned until tomorrow morning.

THEIR MONUMENT.

1t seems that, all the while the five hours
fight was going on, Reno and Benteen were
not more than three or four miles away.
Reno heard the firing, and knew that his
chief was engaged with the enemy.
Reno had been even attacked by portion
of the hostiles flying toward the Custer
fight. They came riding like the wind,
"crouching over the necks Of their feet little
ponies, foggng away with their short
whips, firing random bullets in the air, and
all the time yelling out their Hi! yip-yip
-yip-yip-hi-yahv The sight seems to
have been rather a demoralizing one to
Reno and his men.
A monument was erected on the scene of
the massacre The horrible relic hunters are
already fast chipping it away. Three Clusters,
a sisters husband and beloved, bright
haired schoolboy nephew, perished of the
hapless family that day. Col. Tom Custer
and young Boston Custer were the generals
brother. These were all found in grouE
close together The monument contains the
names of those who fell, the flower of the
United States Seventh Cavalry regiment.
1t is one of the most thrilling stories ever
told in any language.

The tow-headed boy Of 1S4S is now the
millionaire manufacturer of Pittsburg and
New York, the most extensive producer Of
steel rails, pig iron and coke in the world.
He is the MISUNDERSTANDING gentleman in
the picture. Besides being a millionaire he
is philanthropist and brilliant author. His
book on America, "Triumphant Democ-
racy," has attracted much attention on
both sides of the ocean. A man with a
broad, level head like that can do anything.
The boy Andrew in time became a tels-
graph operator, and he was number one,
too. Whatever he went at he worked as
hard as he could at it, old devoted his
leisure time to learning something else. His
eye saw into things quickly, and he made
some valuable telegraphic suggestions to the
company. Before long he was made division
superintendent of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Besides being shrewd and energetic, he had
been economical. too, and saved his earn
ings. He invested them in Pennsylvania oil
lands, which became immensely productive.
Then he engaged in iron manufacture, and
the Scotch boy wassa millionaire. s---------.-.
Best of all he is as wisely benevolent as he
is rich. He gives away every year seven or
eight times as much money as he spends.
Hundreds of charitable and educational in
stitutions have received his flowing gifts

Jarrett to form a gigantic cooperative
organization in which workingmen alone

posure. He speaks with a very strong
Scotch accent. He could never go through
again what he has in the past as a war
correspondent. He says that he has
served his time at that and is ready
now to give way for younger men. He says
that there is nothing which will sooner ex-
haust and break down newspaper CORE
spondent than to engage as Special in
the field. He attributes all of his rheuma-
tism and bad health to the exposure and
fatigues of his many campaigns His mar
riage with Miss Meigs has been postponed
several times on account of his ill health.
Miss Meigs is in the neighborhood of %
years Of age. She is of medium height, with
very well rounded figure, almost inclined
to be stout. She has very clear

Burns on the Face and Neck.

In scalds and superficial burns ON the
face and neck of young children, the appli-
cation of molasses, directly over the sur
face, as a continuous dressing to the scald OF
burn, until complete cicatrization is effected,
is an admirable remedy, alway handy.
The best mode of applying it in scalds and
burns on the face and neck is to take blot
ting paper, or soft white-brown paper, TORN
into pieces, each about half an inch by an
inch and a half, and these will have the
edges more fluffy and absorbent than if the
paper be cut with scissors. Then dip the
pieces of paper into the molasses, and so
lay them on the part, one by one, as to
cross in every possible direction, that by
mutual over tapping and ENHANCEMENT they
may unite and form a closely fitting mask
or shield to the part If the scald or burn

in children that, if little of it run down
into the angles of the mouth, it is not dis.
tasteful, but rather agreeable to the little
patient; and if it is applied Immediately
after the injury, the air and its constituents
will not have access to the wound SO as to
set up septic action in the secretiOns of the
part. If the molasses be in excess Of the
dressing round the edges, it may be re-
moved by wiping with dry cloth; and the
