south, TO the Punjaub, in the north.

A BUFFALO STAMPEDE.
Bunaio mrs story OF n wild CharR'
ON n Wagon Train.

Dunaio BiIi'a story of n wild Charge
on n Wagon Train.
gne of the most exciting scenes in
connection with hunting the buffalo
was n buffalo stampede" l recall an
exciting incident of this kind. II was
while was travelling across the plains
with bull-train outfit, carrying sup
plies for Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson's
army that was sent against the Nor
mons. A train consisted of rs wagons
all in charge Of ono man, who was
known as the wagon master. The sec
ond man in command was the assistant
wagon master. There was an extra
hand. the night herder and the cavallard
driver, whose duty IL was to drive the
lame and loose cattle. The whole train
was denominated "a bull outfit" Every
thing at that time was called an out
AZ, and at the present time the para
phernalia Of the hunter who goes out
on hunting excursion is called by the
same name.
when the train struck the South
Platte river we found the country alive
with buffaloes. Vast herds OF these
monnrchs Of the plains were roaming
all around MS. and we lay over one day
for grand hunt. The next day we
pulled out OF camp. and the train was
strung out a considerable length along
the road. which ran near the foot Of the
sand hills, two miles from the river.
Between the road and the river we saw
a large herd OF buffaloes grazing quiet
"; they had been down to the stream
for a drink. At the same time we OBJ
served party OF returning Californians
coming from the west. They, too. no
ticed the buffalo herd, and, in another
moment. they were dashing down upon
them with terrific speed. The buffalo
herd stampeded at once and broke down
the hills. So hotly were they pursued
by the hunters that several hundreds of
them rushed through our train pell nell,
frightening both men and oxen. Some
Of the wagons were turned clear around,
and many Of the terrified oxen attempt
ed TO run TO the hills. with the heavy
wagons attached to them. Others
turned around so short that they broke
the wagon tongues off. Nearly all the
teams got entangled in their gearing
and became wild and unruly. go that the
perplexed drivers were unable tomanage
them. The buffaloes. the wagons, and
the drivers were soon running in
every direction, and there was GER
tainly no lack Of excitement. Many Of
the cattle broke their yokes and stam-
peded. One big buffalo bull became
entaRgled in one of the heavy wagon
chains. In his desperate efforts 10 free
himself, he not only snapped the strong
chain in two, but broke the ox-yoke 10
which II was attached, and the last seen
Of him he was running toward the hills
with the yoke hanging from his horns.
A dozen other equally remarkable in
cidents happened during the short time
that the frantic buffaloes were playing
havoc with our train. When they got
through and left us, our outfit was bad
ly crippled and scattered.-Col. William

The Pope ana Queen Victoria.

The statemept that the pope intends
to send the queen the Golden Rose
next June ls on the face OF It untrue,
this particular mark OF favor being re-
served exclusively for members OF the
Roman Catholic Church. II Is, how
ever. a fact that Leo Kill, who cher
ishes a warm admiration and regard
for her majesty. Is desirous Of asso-
eiating himself in some special manner
with the congratulations which she will
receive this year. The anxiety OF his
holiness on this head is possibly stlmu-
lated by the consideration that HIS re-
cent pronouncement on the subject OF
Anglican orders has incidentally in
yolved a denial OF the validity Of the
religious ceremonies whereby her ma

Darkness followed, and a curdlIng

Jasper sayman fall dying at our feet.
