Over at Washoe City, the other ay,
some men stopping at the principal no,
tel, while viewing the surroundings of
the place, saw large flock of ducks
settle down ON the farther side of
Wasboe Lake. A Washoe Indian also
saw the ducks, and told the men he
would go after them if they would get
him a gun. In the hotel they found en-
old United States musket. This they
loaded nearly to the muzzle, and giving
it to the Indian, started him to the lake.
Alter he had gone the wagS who loaded
the gun for him went to the upper story
OF the house, and with opera glasses
watched the progress of the noble red
man. He at lat reached the spot where
the ducks had been seen to settle down
among the tules. Presently they saw
the smoke dart from the Indians gun,
saw him fall backward to the ground,
and heard tremendous roar from over
the lake-a sound as though the gun
had burst into Thousand pieces. Fear
ing that the gun had indeed hurt and
killed the poor fellow, the jokers began
to feel very gnilty. They hastened
from the house and struck around the
lake. When they had got about half
way around they met the Indian coming
toward them, There was long cash
across his right cheek bone and his face
was covered with blood, but he had rs
many ducks as he could hold in both

Queen Victoria is now in the midst of
her faithful Highlanders, and enjoying
herself in her own way. AS soon as she
got to Balmoral she attended the funer-
al of one of her ghillies, going to the
house of the deceased and laying a
wreath of flowers on the coffin at the
end of the service. A few nights after
there was servants ball at the castle,
and in the course OF the evening the
Queen not only countenanced the pro-
cecdings by her presence, but took part
in the dancing. She danced with
Price Albert Victor and Prince George,
son of the Prince of Wales, and afer-
ward took part in reel with John
Brown, her attendant, and Donald
Stewarsgamekeeper. 1t is easy to un-
derstand what relief this must have
been after the severe etiquette OF an
imperial reception. This is the first
time that the Queen has danced since
the death of the Prince consort.

OLD LErTERs.-Never burn kindly
written letters it is so pleasing to read
them over when the ink is brown, the
paper is yellow with age, and the hands
that traced the friendly words be folded
over the hearts that prompted them, un-
der the green sod. Above all, never
burn love letters. To read them in after
years is like resurrection to ones youth.
The elderly spinster finds in the impas-
stoned offer she foolishly rejected twenty
years ago fountain Of rejuV
Gancing over it, she realizes that she
was once belle and beauty, and be-
holds her former self in mirror much
more congenial to her tastes than the one
that coulronts her in her dressing room.
The "wiClow indeed " derives Il sweet
and solemn consolation from letters OF
the beloved one who has jomneyod be-
there comes no message, and where she
hopes one day to join him. No photo
graphs can so wildly recall TO the mem
ory OF the mother the tenderness and de-
votion ol The children who have left at
the call Of heaven, as the epistolary out
pourings OF their love. The letter Of IA
true son or daughter to true mother is
something better than an image Of the
features it is a reflex Of the writer's soul.
Keep all loving letters. Burn only the
harsh ones, and in burning them forget
and forgive them.

find that over the brain tf tlIe COW, says Buckland, a strong roof of bone Is thrown, in the shape of an arch, so as to horns. This roof is not solid, but is agnin strengthened below by series of bony arches, that alti Sd distributed as t@ form series of hollow chambers, tbus forming structure uniting strength with lightnoss. The problem now IS, how to fasten the horn on each side on to this buttress. The horn itself must be formed of horn proper, :. C.. hardened hair. In the rhinoceros we tind a hurn composed entirely of a soGd mass of what Is really bunch of hair agglutinntcd to- gether but this kind cf horn would have been much too heavy for tho cow'B convenient use. What Is to be done Why, hollow out the center of the horn, of course {; but stay-this will not do, be- cause how is the horn to be supplied with blood vessels 2-in fact, how Is 1t to grow! Let us see how it is done by the Great Designer Gut the horn right across with d saw, and you will find in side another horn, only made of bone. If the section Is made about one-third of the way down the length of the horn, you will be able to pick out piece of bone ill the shape of n cone, on which, or rather round which, the horn proper has shaped itself This bone fits the cavity with the grentest accuracy it is as light as the thinnest paper, and yet as strong as n cone of tin. It is every where perforated with holes, which Ill life contained the nerves, the veins and arteries, and we know q COW hns all these in her horns nerves, proved by tho fact that cows do not like their horns touched, and that they eam scratch fly off their hides with the tip of the horn ; arteries and veins, proved by the fact that Horn, when broken, will bleed, and that the horn of living COW feels quite warm when held in the hand, be- sides which the nerves and arteries form union between the internal core of born and the external covering of horn paper.

 If we now cut the rest of the horn into sections, we shall find that the inside of tho bony part is really hollow, but that very strong buttresscs of bone are thrown (about every inch or so) across tho cavity of the horn in such manner as to give it the greatest possible support and strength. | have cut a cows horn and skull into several sections to show these buttresses of bone, and now that the preparation is finished, | have another specimen to show that there is design and beauty in all created objects.

The congregation of Plymouth church yester.

cations in the City OF Churches, may, probably, be
considered large. Compared, however with that

as small. The feminine element was not there In

the condition OF the atmosphere, Which threat

peculiar favor. DR.. Quint OF New Bedford, occu-

The triumph of the Democracy In
Connecticut is complete enough to sat
isfy all friends and silence all caIpers.
The election of Governor, with legis-
{ Iativs majority Of ffty-eight or sixty,
thus securing a Democrat to succeed
the Republican Buckingham in the
Federal Senate, is certainly enough glory
for one day. Yet we are not dis
posed to bring out our roosters
just yet and jubilate oyermuch, be-
+ cause we look for many like oc-
casions as the year progresses, and
it would not do to exhaust the
lexicon of political triumph thus early.
1t was feared that the increase in the
Prohibition vote might defeat choice
before the people for Governor, but
like all the other third party moves of
late, this also failed, even as a mar
{ plot. p


On the same day the town elections
of Ohio were held. In this era Of

the mark when it attributes Repubi-
Z can defeat to the supineness of the

issue has been used in many places as
an entering wedge to divide the Dem
oeracy. We have seen parties disinte-
grating before, as the Republican par
ty is now, and We have seen them
catching at such straws. But through
it all, the evidence is ample and trans

the Due do Montpensier is an art event OF
unusual importance. As will be seen from
the critical review which we publish in
another column tho works composing it
cover the grandest period of Spanish art.
Only in few European galleries could any
thing like the same facilities to study the de-
velopment of this remarkable school be en-
joyed as this collection now presents to the
American public. In consenting to lean his
splendid collection the Duke has done grace
full act, which cannot fail to be properly
appreciated Though the collection is not
large it is very valuable, and affords students
and amateurs ample opportunity to make
themselves acquainted with the character
istics of Spanish painting in its various de-
velopments. The occasion ought not to be
neglected, for it may be long before similar
opportunity will occur again. Boston will
enjoy the educational benefits to be derived
from the presence of the paintings for one
year, and we hope the directors of our Art
Museum will take steps to procure for the
citizens Of New York an opportunity OF ex-
amining this representative collection Of the

when ne can constitutionally adopt that
will dissolve the Kellogg rule. We can
understand how. in the event of continual
commotion, turmoil, the persecution of the
freedmen in the interior parishes Of the State,
or the manifest inability of the government to
exercise its natural necessary functions, the
President might interfere and proclaim
martial law. This, however, would be an un-
constitutional, and, without extreme cause, an
unjusti6able act akin to President Lincoln' s
suspension of habeas corpus in 1861 Mr..
Lincoln violated the constitution and incur
red the risk of impeachment Public danger
demanded his act Public opinion approved
it and Congress sustained him when it came
together. But the perils which invited from
Mr.. Lincoln this arbitrary exercise of power
do not exist in Louisiana. The Country is at
peace, and what we 40 must be done within
the forms of the constitution.


There is, therefore, no constitutional solu-
HERALD has proposed and which Mr. john
son cordially accepts-namely, the resigna-
ton by Kellogg and McEnery and all their
subordinates of all power or pretence TO
power and new election by the people.
'1f," says Mr.. Johnson with eloquent truth,
''they are governed by patriotic motives,
and desire to restore tranquility to their State,
they will not hesitate to take such step.
That Kellogg can desire to retain position
which is so adverse to the feeling of the State,
and which it is obvious he would not be able
to hold day without the aid of federal troops,
seems to me to be equally unpatriotic and dis
honorable. But upon such a question the
man Kellogg is the judge, and as he may
judge it will he meet with the applause or con-
demnation of the country" In expressing
these views this venerable statesman gives
voice to the honest conservative sentiment Of
the country, without distinction Of party.
Mr. Kellogg and his friends can give no bet
ter evidence of their fealty to the Union, Of
their patriotic regard for the people of Lou
isiana and their desire for the happiness of
all classes, black and white, than to hearken
to this appeal from one of the most honored

accused of robbing the United States OF
$lSO,oOo. These men had been in prison for
five or six months and were discharged by an
order of Judge Paxson, the order being served
between the prison van and the court, con-
trary to rule. After this event it was dis
covered that detainers had been lodged
against them by the authorities Of another
city, and it is believed that they owe their
liberty to some improper connivance. The
Philadelphia papers speak with considerable
indignation on the subject but with more
caution, the State having a libel law which,
except in unusual cases, acts as al effective
muzzle to journalism. For this reason it is
unlikely that the responsibility for the escape
Of the prisoners from justice will be fixed
