CATTLE INSTINCT FOR BLOOD.
An Incident Related by a Writer in Long
mans Magazine.

An Incident Related by a Writer in Long
mans Magazine.
The following incident will show how
violently blood passion sometimes affects
cattle when they are permitted to exist in
half wild condition, as on the pampas. l
was out with my gun one day a few miles
from home, when I came across a patch on
the ground where the grass was pressed or
trodden down and stained with blood. l
concluded that some thievish gauchos had
slaughtered a fat COW there on the previous
night, and to avoid detection had somehow
managed to carry the whole of it away on
their horses. AS I walked on, a herd OF
cattle, numbering about 300, appeared
moving slowly on, toward a small stream a
mile away. They were travelling in a thin
long line, and would pass the blood
stained spot at a distance OF. seven to eight
blow across their track. When the
tainted wind struck the leaders of the
herd they instantly stood still. rails
ing their heads, then broke out into loud
excited bellowings, and finally turning,
they started off at a fast trot, following up
the scent in %, straight line, until they ar
rived at the place where one OF their kind
had met it's death. Thu contagion spread,
and before long all the cattle were congre-
gated on the fatal spot and began moving
round in q dense mass, believing contin-
ually.
1t may be remarked here that the animal
has a peculiar language on occasions like
this. 1t emits a succession of short below
ing cries, llke excited exclalnntions, fol
lowed by a very loud cry, alternately sink
ing into Il hoarse murmur and rising to q
kind of scream that CRATES harshly on the
sense. OF the ordinary Cow music' | am
a great admire, and take as much pleasure
in it as in the cries and melody of birds
and the sound of the wind in trees; but
this performance of cattle excited by the
smell of blood is most distressing to hear.
The animals that had forced their way
into the center of the mass to the spot
where the blood was paved tho earth and
dug it up with their horns and trumpled
each other down in their frantic excite
ment, 1t WAS terrible to see and hear them.
The action of those on the border Of the
living mass in perpetuaily moving round in
a circle with dolorous ~bellowings was like
that of the women Of an Indian village
when II warrior dies, and all night they
shrek aid howl witt simulated grief, 40 ing
round and 1ound the dead man's hut in an
endless procession. -LongmHn's Magazine.

THE STORY OF A GREAT SOLDIER.

The memoirs Of the late Count Won
Moltke, which his literary executors
have compiled for publication in Ger
many, are attracting the attention OF
the entire military and literary world.
The London newspapers have had ca
bled to them voluminous extracts from
the commentaries of this great soldier
OF the century. When the memoirs are
translated into English a few months
hence they are destined to have an enor-
nous sale.
Not second in interest to the memoirs
themselves will be- the striking papers
on the great field marshal, written by
Lord Wolseiey, Of the British army, in
which the story of the life and career of
the German soldier is graphically told
by one who is himself an able general,
and an acknowledged authority on mill
tary matters, All of Lord Wolseley's
contributions to military literature are
widely sought and command big prices
from publishers. We are pleased to be
able to that this entire series
of remarkable articles will be published
in THE INDEPENDENT, the first paper ap
pearing on Sunday next. The articles
will appear exclusively in a few leading
American newspapers, which have joint
ly purchased the copyright. THE INDIE
is a member of this syndicate
and is the only paper in this part of the
country that can offer its readers this
rare treat.

THAT is a cruel suggestion Of narper's
Weekly that the republican state con-
v~ention of New York should pass a res
%olution recommending a candidate for
United States senator. The Weekly
calls attention to tho fact that in con-
gress last winter Mr.. Hiscock justified
his support of the Mckinley bill by the
statement that the passage of such a
law was a mandate to congress from the
republican national convention. 1t now
proposes to apply the same rule of prao-
tice to the choice of a senator and have
the state convention dictate to the leg
islaturs. This would et%fectually dispose
Of Senator Hiscock's chances and it
would probably make Mr.. Depew his
successor. 10y

what has been accomplished here in a

greater sense of responsibility in school
work. There is room for great improve
ment in school attendance and this
parents, not teachers, can secure. Work

CABIN Ell

Gov. PAGES designation of Secretary
Proctor to fill the u%nexpired torn of
Mr.. Edmunds in the senate makes the
first change in President Harrison's cab
met, but it is not likely to be the last.
Both Secretary Noble and Attorney
General Miller are ambitious for seats
on the bench of the new circuit court
and one Of them, probably the former,
will be gratified. He is a fussy and I'M
Easy figure in the cabinet and it will be
strange if Commissioner Carter is not in
his seat before the Harrison admins
tration ends. Secretary Blaine is an
other member OF the cabinet whose in
tentions are wholly problematical, but
his retirement on account of precarious
health may be announced at any time.
Reports from Washington, too, are to
the effect that Wanamaker is very tired
OF his job and wants to get back to the
bargain counter, while Secretary Tracy,
who has never recovered from his terri
bic domestic bereavement, would like to
be relieved of official cares. The retire
ment of Blaine and Tracy would seri-
ously weaken the administration. They
are the only strong men among Mr..
Harrison's advisers, and the country
would miss them. 1t IS not probable
that the president could induce men
who are their equals in ability and in
f~1uence, 30 sit in his councils. Indeed,
it is not certain that he would want
such men if he could get them. Like
most men Of his caliber the president
feels safer with smaller mon than him.
