BcE Snipes' Experience.

Ben Snipes, the we'll known cattle.
man, is in the city, says the Portland
Oregoni,aa. and an Oregonidn reporter
ran across him and w. w. Spaulding
Yesterday as they were talking over
old times and the cattle business gem
orally. Mr.. Snipes has a range on the
Yakima and ships his cattle to the
Sound by rail. a great improvement
over the old style of transportation.
Cattle taken off the range at night are
in the slaughtrr-house next morning.
THE cattle ranges are growing
smaller and smaller" said Mr.. Snipes.
Settlers take up the land around all
the watering places and push the cat

What will the cattle men do?"

But he has made enough since and can

What are butchers going to do for
cattle if the ranges are all taken up?"
"Oh! there will be plenty of cattle
1t is Just this way: There used to be
few men with thousands of cattle
each, and now there are thousands of
men with few cattle each"
And then Messrs. Snipes and Spauld-
ing began talking about one time they
were on a train which went off the
track in sand storm and came within
a foot of going to the bottom of the
Columbia where it was sixty feet deep,
and how they faced the sand, and after
walking mile or two found a house
where party was in progress, and
danced all night till broad daylight
and started to go home with the girls
in the morning, when the train came
along and they had to cut and run to
get on board. There has been a heap
of fun in the cattle business, but it has
seen its best DAYS

Hunting the Caribou.

At this season of the year he ap-
proaches every little patch of water
against the wind, and,,with the feelings
of ticket holder at lottery draw
ing. Should he be in luck, he by no
means opens fire at once. The herd
derives its impulse from its leader, as
the steam-engne does from the en-
gineer Withdraw either from his con-
troll, and though the power is still
there, that which gave it direction is
gone. So. hardly breathing under the
intense excitement of the moment, he
studies the movements of the herd with
the keenest attention. Having select
ed his victim, well-directed bullet
knocks it sprawling on the ice. In an
instant all is confusion. The herd cir
Gle around their fallen leader, totally
at loss what to do, until some other
assumes the place of the fallen, and all
break for the shelter of the woods. If
the hunter is then a quick and sure
shot, the interval is not unimproyed.
But if the pond is small, and close
ly surrounded with forest and hill, the
first shot echoes from the opposite side
with distinctness which should be
heard to be fully appreciated, and re-
echoes again and again. The startled
herd seem confronted in every direc-
ton by explosions, and every avenue
of escape appears closed. Utterly de-
moralized, they circle about, swinging
their heads from side to side, smiling
the air in the vain endeayor to locate
the danger and divine the path to safe
ty. If the rifle be then in the hands of
a butcher and not a sportsman, all may
fall before, driven to desperation to
take any chance for the sake of cover,
one bursts for the woods. The rest, if
any, instantly follow this initiative,
and many and many mile will inter-
vene before the pace slackens to a
walk. = Henry p. Wells, IN Hd'per's

FINDING A MINE.
THE WEALTH WHICH A MINER CONCEAL
ED BEFORE HE DIES.

Helena Dispatch to New York Times:
On the summit of Old Bald Mountain.
some thirteen or fourteen years ago, a
Frencbman named Gohnue and his son
Jim, lad of 10, sunk a shaft seventy
five feet deep. He Was queer old fell
low and many strange tales are related
of him. One of them is about the mar
velous amount of riches which the old
man extracted from this wonderful shaft
among the clouds.
It is said that some of the rock he
found was so rich in gold that he cached
it, taking this precaution in order that
no one might be able to know the rich
ness of his treasure hold, which could
not be concealed if the specimens were
exhibited or kept in public places. He
worked away steadily and quietly for
more than year, and it is believed &C
cumulsted nice little fortune He was
not molested, the impression prevailing
among the miners that he was laboring
under a harmless delusion in wasting his
time in this bleak and out of the-way
place. Nobody dreamed that he was
taking out more than enough pay rock
to give him sustenance. One day, while

rope broke while the bucket loaded with
its rich freight was being hoisted by the
boy, and, descending, crushed the life
out of the old man. Jim removed the
body and the miners buried it without
having any knowledge of the actual cir
cumstances.
1t seems the old man had kept con-
cealed the hiding place of the treasure,
and Jim, after the burial, searched for it
for months, but without success. He
went away sorely disappointed, after FL
ling in the shaft 30 that it had the APP
pearance of an abandoned and worthless
property, and he and the old man were
soon forgotten. Jim returned recently
to the vicinity and related the story to an
old friend, and the two have been work
ing ever since, both day and night, hop
ing to be rewarded by finding the cache.
Last Saturday three other miners were
taken into the scheme, and this after
noon their labors were rewarded, large
quantity of gold having been discovered.
The find has been placed in the hands of
an expert, who will report in few days
Should the gold turn out all right it is
thought that another gold excitement
will be the outcome, as number of
other mines were recently unearthed
near this point.

A Leap for Life.

1t was in the sixties. Mitchell's
bridge across Mulberry creek was the
tallest in Harris county. A swell in
the creek had misplaced an arch, and a
dozen men had assembled to repair the
damage. The flooring for twelve feet
had been removed. 1t was twenty-five
feet to the water beneath.
Suddenly the hammers ceased and
the men listened intently to the APP
preaching chatter of horses hoofs.

another.

This was said just as the rider ap-

fine broadcloth suit, his feet in pair
of the best calfskin boots, aud they
armed and ornamented with neat small
spurs.
On he came.
The men were lost in admiration and
stood with mouth and eyes open trans
fixed to the spot.
He neared the bridge.
AS if by magic the crowd were
awakened to the horrible death that
awaited the man should he attempt to
pass over the bridge.

stood breathlesS. The rider planted
himself firmly in the saddle, gathered

he did not depend upon the power of
truth to spread itself over the earth,
but selected messengers faithful and
true, to aid in the work, and he said:
" Go ye into all the world and preach
the Gospel to every creature. And
they went out as sheep in the midst of
wolves" If we would have our faith
''run and be glori6ed" we must use
Gods appointed means. The ministers
must be earnest, consecrated workers,
working in season and out of season,
and the friends of our faith must work
for its PRONUNCIATION. One of the best
ways to help is to unite with the
church and Sunday-school and become
active, earnest labOrers in the vineyard
of the Lord. Thousands who claim to
be Universalists seldom attend church
and never had thought of uniting
with church or Sunday school. Those
persons may not be sinners above all
others, but they are not doing their
duty for the truth, and are worthy of
censure for negIecting to improve their
opportunities and build up our beauti-
full faith. l. B. G.

THE CHILDREN AND THE CHURCH.

One reason why we are not more
prosperous as a denomination, is the
fact that we do not hold our own chill
dren. Many of the children of old and
reliable Universalists are not nor never
will be members of our church for the
reason that they have not been asked
by their parents nor the minister nor
friends to become members. They
are made to believe that it is matter
of little or no consequence-not that
they are told so, but scarcely ever are
they made to realize that it is Of any
great Importance. And yet the very
life of Christianity as promulgated by
our church depends largely upon this.
How many ministers are there whose
children are members of our church, or
rather, how few of them take an inter-
est in and unite with our church. We
are so very liberal that our children
go where they please and join such
churches as they may, for the time be-
ing, happen to fancy. Children are apt
to want to go with the crowd, and are
not impressed with the fact that, like
Moses, we ought to be willing to ''suf-
fer affliction with the people of God
rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin
for a season." A little boy who had
been a regular attendant at the Uni
versalist Sunday-school for years, said
to his father, who is away from home
much of the time, "Well papa, don't
go to the Universalist Sunday school
now." Why not? my son." said his
father. "Well, you just ought to see
the difference. At the Presbyterian
school we have about two hundred,
and at the Universalist just about a
dozen. don't think I'll go to the Uni
versalist school any more"
One reason for this condition of
things is, we do not make our Sunday
schools sufficiently interesting, and the
reason why they are not interesting is
because we do not go ourselves, and an
other is because we do not insist on our
children going. We are not willing to
spend little time and money to make
them interesting. In many Of our
churches we have preaching for few
months and then suspend for twice that
time. Our Sunday-schools are spas
modlc. They are carried on for few
months with a fair measure of success,
the interest begins to die out and soon
they are closed for want of patronage.
Why is thisP
1t is certainly not because we have
not the truth, but rather because we
"hold the truth in unrighteOusness."
1t is said " falsehood win go a league
while truth is pulling on its boots"
Truth viii not build itself up. When
the Saviour gave the world the Gospel,

FORTHCOMING WORKS.

The Publishing House will publish, in
few weeks, the following new books
1.-THE Leaven- at Work; or, Some OF the
Concessions of Orthodoxy in the direc-
ton OF UniversRlism." BY j. W. Hanson,
u. d. 176 pages, 16mo. 30 cents. The
following is q description of it:
This book traces the lesvening in6u-
ence of the Universalist faith on the
creeds Of partialist churches, and shows
how it has modified them in our direc-
ton, -demonstrates, in fact, that they
have made continual progress toward
Universalism ever since the organization
of the Universalist Church.
The work is valuable in the following
particulars: It gives the exact language
OF the principal creeds as they stood 6
century ago, and are now professed; in
dorsements of those creeds by those who
have adopted them; confessions of their
evil influence by those who have accept
ed them; concessions by eminent theolo5
gians on vital words and phrases, in which
all the terms quoted against us are con
ceded by "orthodox" scholars to be in
harmony with our faith; concessions by
the great commentators that the princi-
pal Orthodox" texts do not initiate
against our views; an immense number of
concessions and remarkable statements
exhibiting the theological trend during
the passing century, in scholarship, crit
icism, belief and thought, away from the
doctrines of partialism in the direction of
Universalism.
The volume is rich in testimonials from
eminent and representative men, show
ing that the lesvening force of cur prec-
iousf faith is Transforming opposing creeds
and dogmas into its own likeness No
more encouraging book has been issued
from our press. 1t cannot fail to cause
the Universalist reader to thank God
and take courage" as he sees how our
"little leaven" is destined to work until
the entire church in transformed.
