The Bucking Horse.

Most persons who have witnessed the
vicious and acrobatic antics of the "buck-
ing bronco" IN Buffalo Bills and other
wild Western shows have supposed that
the animals were merely acting part to
which they had been trained, like the
trick-mule of the circus. The fact is
that these traits are in the nature of the:
beast; and what the horses do on exhi-
bition is as nothing to the diabolical con-
tortions which they go through when
endeavoring to unseat a cowboy rider on
their native prairies. The broncos Of the
Southwest, like the cross-bred Indian and
cayuse ponies of Montana, are not usually
broken until they are four or five years
old, and then their training is of the
rudest and most impromptu character.
Individual animals, like individual men,
exhibit tempers and idiosyncrasies of their
own; but even the best-tempered cow
ponies will sometimes buck on treaty
morning. Such s'mavericks" are turned
over to hands who make speciality Of
conouering horses that are determined
not to be ridden; for great many thor
ough cowboys who are good horsemen in
the sense Of being able to get the best
work out of their string of steeds in q
roundup do not pretend to be able to sit
a hard pitching or vicious animal. The
horse-tamer, with his wonderful lariat,
brings the rebellious horse to the ground by
a moose around one of the fore feet; them
he mounts, and pursues his daredevil,
anti-bucking tactics until the shaggy pony
is dszed and cowed into meek submission

possible Presidents, iunlessrwe take in tho
Secretary of Agriculture, as 7 mean to do.
We must 60 uptown again to see William
Henry Harrison Miller. He sits upin the
fine room which Benjamin Harrison Brew
ster decorated and furnished so elegantly
on the second floor of what Is commonly
called the Freedmen's bank building, just
north of the treasury, across the avenue.
Down stairs, where the poor freedmen
banked their money s'forever and ever"
sits the court of claims. Overhead, where
the managers of the Freedmen's bureau
used to meet, sits the Attorney General in
eastern luxury. He is simple, matter:
of-fact, man, strongly resembling Gar
field in his ways. Miller's hours are like
those Of most of the others. Here is his
own account of his day:
Usually I put in an appearance at the
office about $3.50 in the morning, and do
not leave the department, save for brief
intermission for lunch, until about
o'clock in the evening. After taking
dinner, 7:30 o'clock will find me back at
my desk, for I do not carry any of my
work to my hotel. About 10 o'clock I
shut down for the day and 60 to bed,,,
and it is not much trouble for me to 90
to sleep. But do not propose to keep
this up, for the strain is too great, and
would break constitution of iron if per-
sisted in. !
Living at the Riggs house, he has only;
few steps to 60 between his room and
his Office. He treats his visitors at the
department as though they were all
clients at his law Office. he takes his.
exercise with the President almost every.
day. It is in their walks and drives that
they have their momentous talks which.
people are always wondering about. Mil;
ler walks well with the President, being
about his height, but his face is dark, and
his hair and bis beard are still mostly
black. - :
The Secretary of Agriculture, Cover
nor Jere Rusk, father of Blaine D. Rusk,
is far separated from all his Cabinet con-
freres. His department is away over to-
ward South Washington, beyond the mall
which George Washington wanted to run
between the White House park and the
Capitol. Rusk's building is ginger
bread affair of bricks of two or three
colors, with various gsudy decorations
and mansard roof. However, he flies bis
flag every day in the week, and signs his
name right heavily with the only gold
pen in the Cabinet. Rusk is the talfest~
man in the Cabinet, should think, with
a great shock of white hair, and afarmer-
like, struggling white beard. He is
bluff, hearty, loud-voiced Westerner, who
wants to please as many people as posi-
BILE. He has to disappoint a lot every
day, for places in the Agricultural Depart
ment are greatly sought after since many
of them are below the limit of the CLASH
fed service. "Uncle Jere," as everybody
familiarly calls him, works as hard here
as he did at home, gets up with the
chickens and goes to bed with the owls.
He lives at the Ebbitt House and rides
over and back in the very respectable Of
fee carriage which DR.. George B. Loring
bought for the Department of Agriculture
when he was commissioner. he would
do better to walk, for the distance would
just give him needed exercise. ..

THE MECCA OF MALT AND RUM

These are hard times for saloon keepers
outside of New York State.
There's the Saloon Keepers Association of
Cincinnati for instance which has resolved
that its members must keep open on Sunday,
and that it will fine them $40 each II they
don't. And Philadelphia fines them If they
do.
II they don't like it, they may come to
New York. There are still few, q very few,
choice corners here which are not occupied
by saloons and the people of the State
seemed. when last heard from at the polls, to
think that we haven't saloons enough. The
$40 may be made payable to the pohce.-Ne'c
York Press.
1t is charged that at least six members OF
the Chicago Common Council are always
drunk in their seats when there isa session.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.

In 1850 there were 3152places in the United
States where liquors, distilled, malt and
vinous were manufactured. These manu-
factories had an invested capital Of $11S,-
037, 729; they employed 80, 69S persons; they
paid in wages SIS, 01S, SO; they used material
to the value of $50, 921,3I4, and their manu-
factured products were estimated at $lH, 29l :
A1.
In the same year QSS0 there We're 20,3O3
places where agricultural implements, boots
and shoes, including custom work and re-
pairing, but not including rubber goods
were made. These establishments employed
a capital of sl1S 65S, 333, about the same as
the liquor business; they employed l7S:2l9
persons they paid IN wages S6s u, = rs fSoi
9l5: and their manufactured products was
worth S276, ,02S, ,3S9.
By making a comparison we find that
s11S, 900, 900 employed in the manufacture OF
Intoxicating liquors gave employment 10
33, 60s persons against IFS, 2l9, when employed
in the manufacture Of agricultural lnstru-
ments, boots and shoes. The same sum IN
vested in the former paid to labor Sl5, ,UlS,
519 again5t SCI, I'll, 736 when employed III the

ducars Of material in the United States, ma
terials to the value Of SS5 921, ,374 against
| S154, 0T3, 915 worth of materials, when en-
| gagged in the latter. So we see that Slle,
10000 employed in the manufacture OF agri-
cultural implements, boots and shoes, en-
ployed five and one-third times as many
persons, paid four and one-haf times as
much in wages, and bought of the farmers
and other producers about twice as much
material, and its manufactured products
were worth twice as much money as the
same amount of capital invested in the
manufacture of liquors And besides the for.
mer was distributed to 20, 900 localities, while
! the liquor industry was confined to 3O0C
localities, mostly large cities.

thing when he bought the Frelinghuysen-
Whitney house. In fact, and by ira
dition, it is one of the most attractive

contains most of the business of that de-
partment. Here in the large room which
has been occupied by all his immediate
predecessors Secretary Noble, next IN the
line, sits at handsome desk when he IS
not standing up to greet or dismiss some
caller or comforting with him in his little
office at the side. Noble is a gentle, pa
tiert man, but quick enough to decision
and determined enough in his conclu-
sions. He has WINDOWS tactful way of
putting refusal so that it seems almost
like favor. 1t is well, for he divides the
honors of having the largest number of
callers with all the others. Noble works
early and late at nights. His predeces-
sors, especially Lamar, have often been
obliged to work all night to catch up with
the enormous current of work. So far
he has not had to do this, but he may
come to it yet, for his hours are all hours
as it is. He takes his exercise in walking

SABBATH COMMUNION.

Do we sometimes find it difficult to with
draw ourselves from worldly affairs and fix
our thoughts upon eternal interests? Under
such circumstances there is no surer way of
relief than to select some portion Of the Holy
Scripture, making this the theme Of earnest
study. 1t is not best to wait for the impulse
Of feeling before beginning the exercise.
Open the Bible at any page Remember that
every passage contains within itself sacred
deposit of truth. More than this, consider
that the divine Word possesses for the sin

" superior to all human composition In this
particular.
1t was on Sabbath morning, after a
week Of unusual distrac ion, that Christian
man sought to free himself from engrossing
cares. He realized the Importance Of laying
public services of Gods house. He found
himself utterly at the mercy OF lntrudlng
worldly thoughts. The spirit that rules IN
all marts Of trade would rush in unbidden.
He knew very we'll that to yield himself to
this clamor from without in the early morn
ing hours of the Sabbath would mar the sa-
cred privileges of the entire day. Finally,
without any unu ual religious emotion, but
chiefly from q conviction Of duty, he opened
his Bible as was his habit, before attenultig
church. His eyes rested on these words: ut
Is by the Lords mercies that we are rot con-
sumed, because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning; great Is thy
faitIfulne;s. The Lord is my portion, saith
INV soul; therefore will hope in Him. The
Lord is good unto them that whit for Him.
to the soul that seelleth Him. 1t Is good
that a man should both hope and quietly
wait for the salvation Of the Lcrd."
His attention was arrested by the delight
full melody of these verses. 1t was not long
before the compassion OF hi Heavenly Father
began to dawn upon him in a new way.
With a sense of great indebtedndsS, his heart
grew warm in love toward God. 1t was i'm

BEER AND INTEaTPERANcE.

Rev. J. c. Allen. pastor of the Hanson
Place Brooklyn (M. e. Church, spoke on
recent evening at tie Greenwood, BaptlsS
Church, in that city. Speaking of the use OF
beer he said:
ain 1880 the famous beer act in England
was passed with the view of deceasing inSem-
perance by encouraging the use Of beer in the
place of more ardent liquors. Lord Welllng-
ton boasted that the securing of the passage
Of that act was one of his greatest victories:
It was not many years before, Parliament
was compelled to repeal the act because beer, @
drinking had become so extensive If we
look among the. statistics of the drinking i ing
classes we will find that there are 6OO, 00O
male habitual drunkards, 1900 900 male tip
piers; the drinkers spend annually 5000: OOO,-
600; they consume Is, 600 900 gallons OF beer;
there are used 81, 100000 bushels of grain,
which, if ground into flour, would make O.
500, 900 barrels. The money spent for drink,
if strung out in rows of dollar bills would
make 4I3 belts for the globe
