The army and navy have been worthily

that American women, availing them
selves of such opportunities rs offered,
bTavely displayed their silks. gems ana

womanhood is best represented abroad

And her best riches ignorance of wealth.

A HERD OF WILD BUFFALO.

A san Antonio dispatch to the St
Louis Globe Democrat says that Eben
r. i}erdoWe, a sheep man OF Preside
county. Texas, who was in San Antonio
few days since, says that TWO Of his
herders have rediscovered the herd Of
wild bunaloes that mas been reported
from time to time during the past four
years to be feeding in the almost i'm
penetrabIe valleys bordering on the Rio
Grande. Mr.. Berdowe states that the
herd is now in the extreme southern
part of Buchei county. and that it
numbers between 20 and so head, in
Guiding several calves.
This same herd of buffalo was first
discovered some four years ago by a
Mexican ranchman. and has been seen
by number of different persons since
then. Two years ago DR.. J. b. Taylor,
a wealthy st0ckman, organized an ex-
petition to go after the buffaloes and
round them up and place them in cap
tivity on his ranch in Tom Green
county. Just as all arrangements were
completed and the expedition about to
start DR.. Taylor met with an accident
which resulted in his death, and the
project was dropped. Now that the
herd has been seen and located again.
it IS likely that another party viii be
made up to capture the animals.
There is, or was. two or three years
ago, a small herd of wild buffalo in
Colorado. There are also a number in
the Yellowstone park. though some of
them have been wantonly killed when
they have gotten out Of the park There
is also small herd on Antelope island.
in Great salt Lake. and a number of
geological gardens in different parts of
the country have a few. There should
certainly be enough TO keep the species
from becoming extinct, though, of
course, there viii never again be any
thing ike the vast herds that roamed
over the plains 30 and so years ago. To
breed them for their hides should be
profitable. And some self interest.
rather than a scientific one, is the only
thing that will prevent their total ex-
tinctien.

BIMETALLIc PROSPECTS IN EU-
ROPE.

a London dispatch says that the next
issue of the National Review viii con-
tain an article that is of the utmost in
terest to all who are interested in the
restoration of silver. Il is said that
Messrs. Wolcott, Stevenson and Paine
viii arrive in London in few days and
viii present to the British government
a joint statement from France and the
United States. declaring their inten-
ton to.terninate the disastrous expert
ments inaugurated in 1873 and claim
ing our good will and active concur
renee"
The Review further says:
We are able to announce that En-
glands reply viii be that the govern
ment is willing to reopen the Indian
minis, to make a further substantial
contribution to the rehabilitation cf
silver by extending its use in England,
and by increasing the legal tender OF
silver. making silver the basis of notes,
empowering the Bank Of England TO
use its silver reserve, and that material
assistance and strong moral support
will be given to the OBJECT that the
United States and France have in view.
Certainly this lis Important if true"
and it is to be hoped that it IS true. 1t
seems that in Washington it is doubted
that England will reopen the Indian
minis TO the coinage of silver, while it
is said that the president and Secre-
tary Gage said they were afraid the
Review article was overdrawn.
If the United States and France were
to present such a statement TO the Brit
ish government as the National Review
says will be presented. and that gov
eminent should refuse TO do anything
for silver, then, if the American and
French governments would open their
minis to the free coinage of silver, at a
ratio agreed upon by them, the silver
question would be settled, so far as
they are concerned. And it would not
be long before their action would be
adopted by other governments.

BERTHA's COMB.

Dear Bertha's hair is golden spun,
As If unraveled from the sun
In brightest noon and clinging there
In Bertha : hair tortoise comb
An olden comb high crowned and spare,
Recalls a dear old-fashioned home
And Bertha,s mother. young again,
Makes me the happiest of men.
Dear Bertha locks are hayward things,
And 1iutter like the fiosSy wings
OF humming birds around a flower,
And Bertha's words are like a song
heard long since in young loves
bower;
And now youth who dallies long
Beside her chair. with gesture reat
PICKS up the comb from near her feet
All well, the wheel of time has whirled
Ana Bertha world is not my world
But that young man who bends the knee
ana litts the bauble from the floor
IN bashful haste-it seems to me
For Bertha's mothers comb | know,
Enthralled me thirty years ago.
