RETURNED HoME.-George Fake, the
Virginia pilot who was forcibly carried OFF
by the British steamship North Erin, bound
from West Point, Va, to Liverpool, early
in February, arrived home yesterday morn

nothing to say. The North Erin refused to
receive while passing out the Virginia capes
deputy United States marshai, who bad q
process Of libel issued by the United Statee
District Court of Eastern Virginia, and
forcibiy elected the deputy from the ship.
The United States marshal has received q
letter from Hugh Roberts & Son, owners of
the vessel, declaring that the captain was
not aware that the boat fron the pilot cut.
ter which came alongside of his ship whilst
she was under way, contained any officer of

ing Oh his voyage with his ship he was evad-

arrest. To show that we are most anxious
to treat the courts of the United States with

The oriein Of the range cattle growing
industry In the United States dates back
70 about the Fifteenth century. when
horned cattle were introduced from Spain
BY way Of Mexico anon; tho Pueblo In
dams residing along the east bank Of the
Rio Grando Later on the early colonists
to the reaublic of Texas took with them
herds of horned cattle, and in this way
Texas became the mother OF the range
cattle industry in tho United States.
Here it wsa almost wholly confined until
after the rebellion Prior TO the late war
nearly the whole Of Texas was given up
to cattle growing After the war the dis
banding Of tho great armies lessened the
demand and Texas swarmed with great
herds in excess Of the market demand and
local consumption. Cattle we're of little

II the wild bison could subsist on these

buffaio found sufficient grass. and hence
the more enterprising Texas cattlemen
came to the conclusion that domestic cat

of Texas and left 10 their own eXertionS

fine grasses Of the plains of the west and
northwcst states and territories and
where at that time only the buffalo grazed.
Thus tho study Of the life and habits Of
tho buffalo led e the idea which has made
this the greatest range and cattle growing
country in the world Not few Texas
men came, and some from California. and
all drove their herds into this newer
country. Their success caused others to
follow, and eastern spectators were at
