A LITTLE SUFFERER
Cleansed, Purified, and Beautified by
the Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this report Of
the cure OF our little grandchild by your CUTIcU-
RIA REMEDIES. When six months old his lett hand
began to swell and had every appearance OF
large boil We poulticed it, but all to no purpose
About five mouths after it became running sore.
Soon other sores formed. He then had two of
them on each hand, and as his blood became more
and more impure it took less time for them to
break out. A sore cane on the chm, beneath the
under lip, which was very offensive. His head was
one solid scab, discharging great deal. This was
his condition at twenty-five months old, when
undertook the care OF him, his mother having died
when lie was little more than year old, OF CON
sumption (scrofula OF course. he could walk
little, but could not get up if he fell down, and
could not move when in bed, having no use of his
hands / Immediately commenced with the CUrI-
CURA REMEDIES, using the CUTICURA and CUTI-
CURA SOAP freely and when he had taken one
bottle of the CUTICURA RESOLyENT, his head was
completely cured and he was improved in every
way. We were very much encouraged, and con-
tinued the use of the Remedies for year and
half. One sore after another healed. bOny mat
ter forming in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing which would finally grow loose
and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly.
One of these ugly bone formations | preserved.
After taking dozen and a half bottles he was
completely cured, and is now, at the age of six
years, strong and healthy child. The scars on
his hands must always remain; his hands are
strong, thobgh we once feared he would never he
able to use them. All that physicians did for him
did him no good. All who saw the child before
using the CUTIcURA REMEDIES and see Ehe child
now consider it a wonderful cure. If the above
facts b are OF any use to yoTB you are 81 GeSy 10

The child was really in worse condition than
he appeared to his grandmother, who, being with
MAGGIE HOPPING.

All veteran ranchmen declare ten acres of pasture necessary for a COW, applied generally to the sec tions of this State, and yet one of the best informed ranchmen but re- gently said that he was satisfied that there were not now five acres to a COW. This would indicate a great overstocking or great un- derrating of the capacity of the land. As grass beeves are now con- stantly going to market it is proba- bly, as much the later as the form er.- Texas Journal.

An exchange very appropriately remarks that care should be exer- cised in shipping grass cattle. The first thing to be observed is the loading. The cars should not be packed so fnll that the cattle will have no opportunity of moving about, neither should they be so loosely loaded that the jamming of the cars will knock them about too freely. When an animal is lying down in a car, if it is at the end or along the side, there can be but lit tie danger, and it is best not to dis turb it. Only when one is stretched out on the floor should it be dis turbed.

The colony of southerners who left for Brazil at the close of the rebellion now number about soc souls. They are settled in the in terior, 400 miles from Rio Janeiro where they have tract of about fifteen miles square. Some of them hold slaves. They raise water melons and cotton, and are in a general way quite prosperous, but need schools. Their English is get ting somewhat inferior and rather mixed. They seem to be proud that they are Americans, and only in one or two instances have they become citizens of Brazil by natu- ralization.-Exchange.

Coming from St. Louis on the sleeping car I fell in with a couple of men from the cowboy region down by the Indian Territory. They owned ranches there, and were talk ing about the cattle business. One was an Englishman, and on his way back to the old country for a short visit. He was saying: q counted 745 cattle in field this side of Kansas City" He then took from his vest pocket thing something like a silver watch. 'This is a cattle counter" he ex- plained. "You see there are three figures on the side. Now, as often as you press that little knob a fig ure changes for the one next higher. That's how it works" and he press ed the knob rapidly and the figures changed rapidly. With this I can count up to 999 as fast as cattle can jump past me. In a field l have just to commence at one end and look at the cattle one by one, press ing this every time, and won't make a mistake once in a hundred times" q never go in for those new-fangled arrangements" said the American ranchman. 1T have a cowboy who has 100 buttons on a string. He can count cattle as fast as they run with that string. He has another string around his neck, and at every 100 counted he slips button on the neck string. He can count 10000 with his strings as easily as you can 999 on that thing and do 1t as correctly, too. ."-Co- manche Chief.

An Indian murder occurred near Yuma, a short time since, the vic- tim being Maricopa, named Fran cisco. The murderers were two Yumas and a Mohave, named Slim Dick. The Sentinel gives the fol lowing in regard to the affair: Fran cisco was ordered to stand up; and he did so, and the two Yumas held his hands while the Mohave stuck a sharp knife into his throat, keep ing up his cutting until the unfor- tunate man fell lifeless at the heart less assassin's feet. The Mohave does not deny the killing, and claims that he had to do it, as the deceased was possessed of an evil spirit, and had witched his brother, Mohave Gun, who died year ago.
