Our Cattle Queens.

Our western range girls are thorough
breds, when it comes down to any sort of
'business" counting, marrying, round
ing up, or being rounded up. One Of
these prairie pinks who had been visited
by cowboy for nearly year, became
impatient at his failure to declare his in
tentions, and when he next called she
took him gently by the ear, led him to a
seat and said: ''Nobby, you've been fool-
in round this claim for mighty near a
year, an hey never yit shot off yer mouth
on the marryin' biz. I've cottoned to
yer on the square clean through an hev
stood off every galoot tibet has tried to

A Wiser Pig.

At country station on one Of our
railways pig used to be constant Wis
itor and drove q thriving business in
picking up stray grains of corn which
dropped from the bags as they were load
ed on the cars. One day the pigs greed
overmastered his discretion that his tail
got nipped between the brakeshoe and
car wheel, and when the car started the
tail was pulled out by the roots. The
victim OF this sudden catastrophe was
now confronted with the dismal prospect
of having to navigate through the rest
of his life with his steering apparatus a
total wreck. He continued coming to
the station after that, but whenever he
heard the clatter Of an approaching train
he hurried off to safe distance and
backed up against brick wall till the
cars had passed; he was never going to
permit himself to be subject to the risk
of such an indignity again, even though
there was no longer any tail left to be
pulled out. He had acquired sufficient
railroad experience to appreciate the
magnitude OF the loss of terminal facili-
ties.-Fx.

FORT MEADE.


This well known military post is stu
ated one and half miles east of Sturgis.
The first military camp was established
in the spring Of 1876, on Spring creek,
north Of Bare Butte. This camp was
called Camp Sturgis," in honor of Lieu
tenant Sturgis, killed in the Custer mas
sacre. The present fort was established
in the August following and named after
the celebrated Union general, George G.
Meade. The site is most magnificent
one. On one side rises the foothills of
the Black Hills covered with their dark
pines, while on the other hand stretches
away toward the east the rolling pralr-
les. Bare Butte, just north of tho post,
rises straight out of the level prairie and
stands like some lonely sentinel watch
ing over soldier and citizen alike. The
buildings comprising the post are new
and elegant, and from the lips of officers
who have seen the majority of the posts
Of the country we have heard that Fort
Meade is one of the most desirable loca-
tions in the entire war department. The
post is ten-company post, and at pres
emit is occupied by the Third infantry
(white) and the Eighth cavalry, who re-
Gently moved here from Montana and
Texas, respectively. Until May this
post was occupied by the Seventh caval-
ry and Twenty fifth infantry.
The post requires enormous quantities
of supplies, all of which are furnished by
the farmers of the country contiguous
An idea of the amount of material used
can be gathered from scrutinizing the
following figures: Hay, 1,700 tons; corn,
10000 pounds; oats, 100000 pounds;
wood, 5000 cords, and other supplies in
proportion. The original cost of the
post buildings was S125O00, but each
year improvements are made that add
greatly to the beauty and value of the
place. Colonel Otis is commander of the
garrison. The post is the regimental
headquarters, and as a consequence has
the elegant band of the regiment, which
adds much to the attractions of the place.
Fort Meade is one of the most important
posts in the Union, and will always be
occupied as long as the government de-
sires to distribute troops throughout the
north and southwest

Tha Cow.

American dairy interests are start
lingly enormous. They represent an
investment OF nearly twenty five times
the entire bank capital OF the country
that is to say, the bank capital is little
less than $97, 100o,ooo, while the dairy
interests amount to more than 5000, 000,-
900.
Or course our readers cannot swallow
such frightful figures in lump and we
will therefore arrange them in several
smaller but still heroic doses.
The number Of mich COWS is estimated
at 81 100000. They give each an aver
age of 300 gallons of milk annually.
This would mako an aggregate milk
production of 7.350,000,000 gallous,
a miniature ocean, fair sized Mag
ara. Four thousand millions are used for
cheese and the remaining 2,650,000 pass
through the adulterating hands of the
milk-men and grocer and down the
Threats of 60,000,000 men women and
babies in this land of freedom.
The quantity of butter manufactured
and used is about 1,350,O00,000 pounds,
cheese $500, 900 pounds. Tho value Of
our daily products for the last year was
nearly $5Oo,o0O,o00. This is $2o,Ooo,-
900 more than the value of our annual
yield of wheat, while it closely approx
mates that of our corn crop which is the
most valuable Of our farm products.
To support this immense dairy herd
100,000,O00 acres Of pasture land are re-
quired, worth $25o,OoGOoo. 1t is easy
enough to see, therefore, that tho 4,000,-
600 farmers in the country are an impor-
tant element of our national welfare and
rosperity.-Holstein Friesian Register.

The Panorama company of Minneapo-
lis are now exhibiting magnificent
painting of Jerusalem at the time of the
crucifxion, which is wondrous inno-
walton in cycloramic art. The phenom-
email success of the old battle of At
lanta painting has made possible the
exhibition of this noble and expensive
scriptrlral cyclorama in Minneapolis,
which is magnificent, more impressive
and more wonderful than battle scene.
1t is grand work of art and an inyalu-
able aid to education and ought to be
seen by every man, woman and child in
the northwest. The canvass is immense
in size, being 400 feet long and so feet
high and contains many thousand fig
ures, houses, temples, palaces, ETC., a
few of which will suffice to give the
reader some idea Of the marvellous work.
First one sees the frowning gray walls
of the Holy City of Jerusalem, massive
and splendid in the extreme the
walls may be seen the Herodian castles,
the scene of the Saviour's trial, also the
temple with the marble walls and roof of
gold. Beyond the city extends the
wilderness and the vast desert of Judea.
The gateways Of the city are guarded by
Roman soldiery, and the bright attire of
the people in gala dress make striking
sight not soon forgotten. These with the
many thousand other features to be seen
in the great painting present to the
vision Of the enraptured spectator o most
realistic magnificent scene of oriental
life nineteen centuries ago.

Attempt to Hold the League Re-

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
LONDON, November 27.-At the sitting
OF the Parnell Commission to-day, Ser
geant Gilhooley testified concerning out
RACES. He said an increase Of police had
been necessary at Castle Island since
1880. The police force had been doubled.
Prior to the founding OF the League in
1880 the district had been quiet After
ward, however, the outrages had been
general. Witness added that he kept a
book in which he recorded the
outrages. Counsel for Parnell de-
manded that the book be pro-
duced, saying it was not fair for the
Times counsel alone to have access to
it. The Times counsel said the book
contained letters and official communica-
tions respecting certain persons, and it
was desirable they should not be pub
lished. Justice Hannen said it was
highly desirable that the whole book, in
cluding the column headed Motives"
be produced. Special entries relating to
certain persons ought not, perhaps, to be
disclosed. lie suggested tnat Slr CnarleS
Russell inspect the book; then if they
did not agree the judges themselves
would inspect them.
Other policemen testified at length
concerning the outrages.
Inspector Davis said he had discovered
that there was an inner circle of the
League which organized Fenians 20 exc
cute the Leagues behests. On being
cross examined he declined to give the
name of his informant. Reid pressed
him for the name, and the witness said
that the man who gave him the informa-
ton was not in the way of the police. He
was a member of the League and had
taken no part in the work of the inner
circle.
Sir Charles Russell applied to the
Times counsel to include in their particu-
lars the letter purporting to be signed by
O'Kelly. Attorney General Wooster OPP
posed the inclusion of the letter on the
ground that it was an attempt on the part
Of Messrs. Lewis to obtain information to
the Times case to which they were not
entitled. Justice Hannen reserved his

SAN Francisco, November 27.-The

Telegraph Company. The Colonel said
the statements made in it were in gen.

The Post says concerning the transfer
of the Atchison telegraph business to the
Western Union: The commercial busi-
ness of the Atchison lines is placed
under the management Of the Western
Union Company, 80 far as it can be legally
done. The Western Union has assumed
and will pay for any telegraph plant not
owned by it and which is needed to
carry on business. The Atchison has
also made the Western Union it's agent
for the transaction Of its purely CONNER
cial business, but has not parted with
any of its rights or property which it is
bound legally to retain or which
are requisite to the working of the rail.

H. G. Bush, Of the Atlantic and Pacific,
has received a telegram from Chicago
stating that the Transcontinental
Association has conceded Califor-

Colonel G. F. Crocker, Second Vice
President of the Southern Pacific, re-

branch railway south from Templeton to
a connection with the road built north
to Ellwood, he said no definite line has
been chosen, although three routes re-
mained open. He favored the seacoast
line as being the cheapest and
most picturesque, although it
might be considered unfavorable
in respect to traffic, as it would not
touch some of the more important ship.
