100000 BUFFALOEs DIED.

Driven Over a Precipice by a Furious
Observation-Disclosures Sand Storm.
From the Denver Field and Farm.
Near Cheyenne Wells is long stretch Of
level prairie, which suddenly terminates in
a precpice, making perpendicular descent
of perhaps fifty feet to another plain be-
low. In the winter Of 1858 a great blizzard
ragged for several days. The anow was
driven at a terrific rate before a hurricane
Of wind, and the buffalo were obliged, In
self preservation, to turn their backs and
run with the wind. The result was that
vast numbers Of the buffalo were carried
over the precipice, and their dead bodies
were covered with twenty or thirty feet of
spot to look at the bones, which lay in piles
ten and fifteen feet high as far as the eve
could reach along the precipice, and it was
commonly estimated that 100000 buffaloes
found grave on that fatal SPOT
Sand storms in those days were so de-
structive that it was not unusual for
freighters to lose their entire outfit Dur
Ing the prevalence Of a storm no attempt
was made to move forward, and drivers
cleared the sand out of the nostrils of the
horses and oxen, as otherwise The animals
were threatened with death from suffoca-
ton; A sand storm usually lasted only two
or three hours but its effects were felt for
days by men and animals exposed to the
fury of the blast
A curious phenomenon noticed in Diff
erent places on the plains was the immense
excavating power If the wind in a sand
storm. There were areas of three or four
acres where the wind scooped out the sand
forty or fifty feet deep and whirled it away
in the air. It seemed as if the work began
at q central spot no larger than could be
covered with a mans hat In an ;ncredi-
bly, short time a round hole would be ex-
cavated. The wind then took hold in real
earnest, and the probabilities were that an
entire sand hill would be leveled down in
the next thirty minutes

than fat, and rather young than old They
walk half slouching, without military bear
ing; their manner is curt and almost sullen.
They have a shifty look in the eyes.
1t therefore appears that the Paris police
have little to do, and that they do it with
out enthusiasm.
Both these first impressions are incorrect
II the Paris policeman looks like an idle
Hl-natured sneak, 1t is because the role is
forced on him. He is not idle because he
has nothing to do. but because he has done
1t ALL He looks like a sneak because the
regulations make him, above all. tale

Is detested by the people.
Fault on Both Sides.
The police OF Paris are both detested and
despised by the whole social fabric. The
fault lies half with each. The people of
Paris, always race by themselves, have
always been complaining, arrogant jealous
1t has always been thought necessary to
keep them down. They are SO frivolous,
encroaching and untrustworthy as indi-
viduals that they must be ruled individual

oucn u One exists In Literature, but
Not in Real Life.
From the Rochester Post Express
A writer in the Buffalo Courier represents
some one as asking this interesting ques-
ton: did you ever know any one who could
converse brilliantly at breakfast" The
question is a good one. Why, indeed, should
rot conversation be brilliant at the break
fast table. when the brain is fresh, yester-
days worries have all been slept over and
today's have yet to come? And were not
the genial "Autocrat, Professor and Poet"
speakers at a breakfast table, where surely
the conversation was nearly akin to bril-
Hancy? There are other books that give
as early morning talk, conversations which
their authors think worth printing, and now
and then in the journal or the letters Of
great man there is a reference to q break
fast table discussion.
Yet, what one of us has ever really come
in contact with brilliant talk at am?
The very ishballs and buckwheat cakes are
humble, lowly, reassuring viands that some
now do not inspire the eloquence that comes
with the pungent flavor of the venison, the
cool Self-conidelce suggested by the orange
Ice, the epigrammatic terseness Of the af-
ter-dinner coffee, the genial sunniness Of the
fruits and the sweetness of the candies
Even clothes make a difference, for more
or less we always talk on the level of what
We wear-unconsciously, perhaps-and 1t is
and the work before you, and another with
the watch in your pocket and the work ac-
complished-which is the difference to most
men between their breakfast and late din
ner.
We are reminded, to be sure that there
are social functions known as breakfasts"
and TIE talk must be somewhat interesting
and clever or they would have long ago died
out. But these breakfasts" take place at
noon, and the buckwheat cakes and fish
balls have been privately and individually
served to the guests some hours before,
and so these are breakfasts in name only.
There is, too, another evidence that the
animal nature has the better Of the spirit
ual usually at the breakfast hour in the cir
cumstance that the French, who could not
bear to be conversationally dull at a meal,
take the first one of the day in bed! How
very clever they are; and what a reputa-
ton fer unfailing geniality, quickness and
fascination this one custom perhaps has
given to them! We believe that the most
glowing description of a brilliant talker
would be that he (or she) was go at the
breakfast table.

OF caDS, beyond Imagination In their num-
Der and their reckless driving, there woul1
seem to be TO need for police at all.
There are no drunken people, no quarrels,
no lost children, no beggars, no fires. In
sulting ladies on the streets is scarcely
punishable offense when the insult is ac-
complished politely. There appear to be no
loafers to move on. There really appears
to be nothing for the police to do, except to
help American ladies across the Place de
rOpera.
In the winter time the Paris policeman
wears heavy dark-blue cloak with hood,
and high boots into which he tucks his pam
falcons His whole costume Is dark blue,
except his boots. which are black likewise
his shoes and belt. His buttons are silvered
instead Of gilt, and he does not wear white
cotton gloves, like the policemen of Berlin.
He carries a revolver in his pocket and
bayonet-sword at his side instead of a club.
Seven out of ten Paris policemen wear sim
pie mustaches, never being smooth-faced and
the others wear mustaches plus imperiales
with now and then an isolated beard. Their
faces are always red on account of exposure

cd by the authorities or by public events,
which the authorities tolerate, they take it
on themselves to manifest their resent
ment. They organize disorderly sort Of
procession that goes crying through the
streets; they gather threateningly and. If
the police were not at hand to keep the
crowd IN motion, there would soon be a
full-fedged riot. There has not been

police has learned its duty Ia the matter
by hard and long experience.

(who stand alone In the world as con-
scienceless trouble breeders) nearly caused

the insulting things which the composer
Wagner had said against France. Again,
two years ago, the Latin Quarter riots,
which bade fair to cause a revolution, were
SIMPLY the result of a students manifes-
tatlon or their displeasure at the condem-
nation of some Of their fellows for obscen-
lty at masked ball.
Not Very Popular.
1t is seen that the Paris police are not
loved. They feel it themselves and show
their resentment in their bearing and con-
duct. Their feeling is so quick in this mat
ter-like the sensitiveness of wound-that
the first instant's glance at subject de-
termines their department toward him and
fixes firm and fast all their subsequent
action and testimony. For such as do not
shrink from them. who respond to them in
good-fellowship, without fear, irony, sui
lenness, reserve or resentment, they have
treasures of indulgence.
The drunken man who can give an anus
Ing excuse for his condition will be treated
like man and brother. He will not be ar
rested; he will be jocularly told that he Is
lucky to have so much good liquor in him
and slyly joked about the headache he will
have next morning. The drunken man who
turns gruffiy or impatiently is marked for
arrest. If he has not given cause for ar
rest, he will be egged on to it. The COM
monest recrimination before the police cor
rectionelle runs something like this:
Policeman-"He called me cow"
Prisoner-"He called me 'woman!" Or,
Policeman-"He bit my thumb"
Prisoner-"Because he was twisting my
arm"
The twisted arm goes to prison, neverthe-
less for three months, while the wounded
thumb Is recCmpensed with money and
furlough.

A half smile or a look of admiration
from pretty girl will put one of them in
charming humor all the day and con-
sequently react to brighten the existence
of all the citizens along his beat. The pos
session of choice quarter Of the city to
patrol is the height of felicity. In the
aristocratic quarters the policemen attain
almost the suaveness Of old family SER
wants. In the theater quarters they are
constantly good humored. And the moder-
Christmas, New Year, the 14th Of July, at
carnival time, Easter and the rest-when
without loss OF dignity, they may smile
back at the people and permit them to go
whooping and careering-suggests the
thought that if a miracle could be accom-

and police could be turned from mutual
and contentment on all sides, and great
danger removed from the path of the pres
