The South American Cowboy,

The Gaucho shows best when mounted.
Then, indeed, does he confirm to himself the
romantic title of the Centaur of the pampas.
If he be the owner of large herd, he will
appear in a white shirt with wide trousers
well laced, a rich poncho over his shoulders,
boots of polished leather with enormous sill
yer spurs jingling at the heels, wide
brimmed hat with a fantastic band, and in
one hand rebenque, or cattle whip, made
of cowhide, with a handle of massive silver
for his grip.
Such, briefly photographed, is the Gaucho.
He has comrades, of course, whose attire
does not equal his, but by and by they will
become owners-then for the silver spurs
and the embroidered trousers! Like our Co
mancheS. the Gaucho seems TO live on his
horse. He is hardy and sparely built, like
Bedouins of the desert. His pillow is often
his saddle, and his bed covering his insepa-
rable poncho or the glittering stars-T. c.

A NIGHTINGALE.

Deep in the quiet Of an English vale.
One summer night, when through the tranquil
sky
The full-orbed moon sailed down the west, and
Was left alone to watch her visage pale,
There came from some clear.throated nightingale
plaintive music floating softly BY,
And all the dreamy gales were hIlshed to try
To catch the words of the melodious tale.
And !, enraptured, held awhile my breath
To hear the music of this poet-bird-
The bitterness mingling with the sweets;
To me it seemed as though from realms of death
His soul returned, and, listening, heard
Once more the mellow cadences of Keats.

TO FORM An AMERICAN SALT TRUST
AN ENGLISH AGENT TALKS ON THE. SUBJECT

AN ENGLISH AGENT TALKS ON THE. SUBJECT
Mr.. MORTON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
The organizers Of the scheme to form an American
salt trust deny that 1t has any connection with tho
engaged in the movement comes from England,
It is regarded unlikely that there will be any clash
OF interests between tho two. The aottve promoter
OF the American trust is c. F. Burger general agent
OF Higgins Eureka salt Manufacturing Company (lm-
ited) Of Liverpool. Speaking on the subject yester
day afternoon to Tribune reporter, Mr. Burger said
Ever since salt has been made in this country the
manufacturers have with few exceptions been losing
money, and have for number Of years been trying
to form an association by which runious competition
could be avoided Tho Salt Union In London has
foated their capital stock Of sos 900 900 at Offering
in subscriptions of ten times that amount, and 1t now
sells at 100 Some of this unused money is offered to
us, and If American manufacturers wish to make use
OF 1t they Will find purchasers Of their plant on
fair and equitable basis. Wo think immense savings
can be made in the cost of manufacturing, and that
tho price Of salt will be rather less than more, be-
sides being of better quality
levi p Morton's name has been used as being one
Of the capitalists who associated with the prime
movers in the scheme control the salt industry.
But so far as Mr.. Morton is concerned there is
no reason for connecting his name with this enter
prise for he said yesterday that he had nothing TO do
with IL and had no connection with 1t Whatever.
