An Essay On Man.

Man that is born of woman is small potatoes and few in hill. He rises up to-day and flourishes like rag-weed, and tomorrow or the next day, the undertaken hath him. He goeth forth in the morning war. bling like lark, and is knocked out in one round and two seconds.
 In the midst of life he is in debt, anl the tax collector pursues him wherever he goeth. The banister of life is full of splinters, and he slideth down with considerable ra- pidity. He walketh forth in the bright sunlightto absorb ozone, and meeteth the bank teller with a sight draft for $357.
 He cometh home at exentide and meeteth the wheelbarrowin his path. It riseth up and smiteth him to the earth, and falleth upon him, and run meth one of it's legs into his ear,
 In the gentle spring time he put teth on his summer clothes, and blizzard striketh him from far home and filleth him with cuss words and rheumatism. In the winter he put teth on winter trousers, and a wasp that abideth excitement. He starteth down into the cellar with an olean- der and goeth backward, and the oleander cometh after him and sit teth upon him.
 He buyeth a watchdog, and when he cometh home from the lodge the watchdog treeth him, and sitteth near him until rosy morn He go- eth to the horse trot and betteth his money on the brown mare, and the bay gelding with a blaze face win meth.
 He marrieth red d-headed heiress with a wart on her nose, and the rext day the parent ancestor goeth under with fee, arrest and great liabilities and cometh home to live with his beloved son-iu -law.-WicE- ita Democrat.

The Australian seat in the saddle Is different from ours, and their manipulation of the reins some thing paraiyzing to a Donahue or q Mclaughlin. Instead of riding WI h single reins on a snaffle bit, every Australian horse goes to the post with a bridoon in his mouth, to which are attached two reins, the lower one of which pulls the curb and can throw a fractious horse back on his launches if such a thing were necessary. Instead ol sitting bolt upright and holding his arms perfectly rigid, as our Ameri can jockeys do, the colonial rider leans slightly forward in the saddle and lets his arms play back and forth with the stride of the horse. In this way there is no chance for the horse to choke down, and he has a good deal more wind left to enable him to come with a rush to the finish. The bridoon bit giYts the jockey such control of his horse that when he undertakes to run away at the start he is very speedily checked by an admonition that the top of his head will be taken off if doesn't keep quiet.-Ex.

4 Coming Scarcity of Cattle.

A Washington City telegram e.
 March Sd makes encouraging read
 ing for stock growers, and is as fol
 lows:
 The department of agriculture predicts a coming scarcity of meat The natural increase of herds, says statistician Dodge, has been offset by the unusual number of cattle Inarketedduring the closing months of 1890, mainly on acco1nt of the small corn crop and threatened SC Ircity of animal food and also by a heavy reduction of range cattle on the Pacific coast. Scarcity of feeding material, present or antici- pated, caused in many districts a rapid marketing of all stock which purchasers could be induced to take. Fitness for the shanbles YVES not considered, the purpose being to re- tain as small number of cattle as possible on the farm. With high priced corn, and in many sections where drought prevailed last sea- son, dear hay and other forage, growers felt compelled to part with their surplus stock at any price rather than attempt to carry it through the winter. The records of cattle receipts in the great markets reflect this almost universal i'm pulse 10 sell. At Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha abe rG- ceipts of 1890 were the largest in the history of each market, and the increase was mainly during the last six months of the year. The cor respondent for Clinton county, H., gives the reason for depletion of numbers as follows:
 ''Decline in number due to light c ,rn crop, everything that would sell being rushed to market and sold at 9 loss rather than run the risk of keeping them over long winter on short rations ," whiles the reporter for Marquette county, Wis, tersely slys that cattle were "Sold half fat tened and without regard 10 price, in consequence of the scarcity ol grain and al kinds of feed"
 So heavy has this movement been that there are indications of scarci- ty of stock for fattcning for next year. and a demand is already felt for young cattle to be prepared for next years market,

 Henry Tusler, of Montana, was in town Monday, on his way to Tex as to buy steers for shipment north. He says cattle have gone through the winter to date better than for years in Montana, and early beef is the present prospect. Buyers of southern steers are not numerous, but most of the last years opera tors will buy some cattle this year. Cheyenne Journal.
 Several cattle buyers have been in town this week looking for bargains in young steers. No sales have been made for the very good reason that nobody had any for sale. Wyoming owners of steer cattle are strong in the faith of appreciated values in the near future and present prices will have to be sprung materially before they will entertain sale pro- positions.-Cheyenne Journal.
 Pricss for beef cattle arc slowly improving. Good, ripe, we'll fatten- ed steers bring from $3.50 to $4 per hundred now in the Denver mar ket-Fully 100 carloads of fat cat tie have been shipped out of Fort  Collins and Loycland the present winter, and eastern buyers are SCOUT ing the country for more.-Ft.

 The Illinois state board of agri- culture, in recent report, says that at the close of 1890 there was a de- crease of 124 per cent in the cattle holdings of the state. This finding is in harmony with the facts as pre- sented to us all through the year 1890 in our trips about the state. We are satisfied that all the states west of the Alleghany mountains are in the same fix, and the report errs, if at all, on the side of conser- vatism.-Cheyenne Journal.

 The beef cattle in the eastern par ] Of the state are all cleaned up, and r not over 5000 head remain on the meadows. With the scarcity of cat
 tie in California, prices promise to
 reach seven cents or more within the next month. The beef market is strong and steady, with an upward tendency. Six cents is freely offer ed for good steers, but feeders are not inclined to let them go at that figure. With California and the great northwest looking to Nevada for beef. it would not be surprising if good cattle would go to seven cents before many days.-Reno, New, Gazette.
 The prospects for a fine range and heavy crops have never been better. Toward us the elements must be cruel to be kind" They have done their duty this winter by garEering into natures store house for our use supply of water which means abundant crops. Prices will be good, in fact very high, for the next twelve months for all kinds of supplies which the farmer and cat tleman can produce Montrose (Colo.) Industrial Union,
 Mr. J. T. Bell, of HavIe, came up on this mornings train. He reports that the snow from Fort Assinni- boine east and along Milk river is about eighteen inches deep but very dry and light. It is not drifted, as there is little or no wind. Cattle, so far, are doing well, as they get down in coulees and flats, where there is good grass and can reach it under the feathery snow. MT. Bell says that if chinook comes in that section within the next ten days or two weeks cattle will not suffer to any great extent.-Ft. Ben ton Mont River Press.
 During the past few days Mon tana has enjoyed snowfall that exceeds in volume any similar storm for fifteen years, if the mem ory ofour oldest inhabitants can be relied upon. The canyons and coulees are rich with the generous contributions from the clouds, and the mountain streams will ripple with gladness the long summer through.

WORSE THAN RUSSIA

Anna Dickinson's Wild Arraign-
ment of the Laws of tho Land.
New York, May ANNA e. Dick
mson delivered a rambling address in
Herrmann's theatre last night, which
was intensely personal in its character.
Her hands glittered with diamonds.
With great vehemence she leveled much
of her discourse at the representatives
of the press, saying she spoke for sixty
five million people. She several times
shod tears while speaking of her incar-
ceration in Danville asylum, and de-
clared that the laws of the country,
which We're more outrageous than those
of Russia, made it possible for anyone
to be shut up as she was with no hope
of release to crafty the malice Of a
powerful enemy.
In view Of the fact that those who put
her in the Danville asylum could keep
her there indefinitely she considered her
release miraculous. Miss Dickinson
spoke Of her career In the civil war, and
said that President Lincoln had sent for
her in the dark days of the rebellion,
and conversed with her about the con-
flict. She again assailed President Har-
rison and Mr.. Clarkson, and declared
that Senator German, whom she nomi-
mated for the presidency, was the great
est man in the world

LONDON, May A Berlin dispatch
says that the kaiser has expressed his
qualification with the entire quiet that
accompanied May day in Berlin and
other industrial centers of the empire,
and the fact is quoted by the supporters
of the government as the best answer
to Bismarck's assertion that the danger
to the empire is from within. The So
cialist leaders claim the credit Of the
preservation of order, and at yesterdays
gatherings of workingmen the speeches
were generally of pacific order, urging
peaceable and constitutional agitation
as the proper and sure method of achiev-
ing reform. The aggressive attitude
taken by Bismarck's supporters, and es-
pecially The Hamburger Nach1ichten,
since his election has excited the liveliest
anger in the government circles, and
there is no doubt that the prince, when
he takes his seat in the reichstag, will
find his criticisms met with an antago-
nism as energetic as his own. All the
elements hostile to Bismarck are being
actively appealed to, and even if he
should remain silent his seat in the
reichstag will be far from comfortable.
Socialistic Ideas Prevail.
The meeting in Hyde park yesterday
was an immense affair. A popularity
of the procession to the park was that
each of the trade of tanners carried q
whole hide, inscribed "Simon the Tan
ner." In Hyde park Mann and Burns
were the principal speakers, Mann rep
resenting the labor element pure and
simple and Burns advocating labor in
connection with socialism. The line
between the two was plainly drawn,
and while the better sort appeared to
favor Mann, the majority rather sided
Burns and his socialistic ideas, but an
immense throng surrounded each of the
two speakers. Whitechapel was present
en- masse and decidedly favored Burns.
Similar gatherings were held throughout
Great Britain, and 10000 men were in
the processian that marched to Phoenix
Park, Dublin.
