Hat of ihe Captain, she had never found
Hr heart turning tenderly toward the
Hung man. On the contrary, she had se-
Hctiy iletc-ued him from the first moment of

Hty she thus detested him, she could have
Hien no reason.

Harplv. bcciuse he wished to 6eo whether
■ee< n and and tect iu them any that were as
■kiufe 1 wi;h his memory of his long* sup-
dead mother.
■ When Bazilio had last seen and spoken
W h:s mother, as his mother, ho was but
Bn va s old. Sixteen years had passed
Bnce that time, and therefore his recollec-
Bons of his mother’s features and other
Bculiarities were few and exceedingly
Bgue.
H Still, he remembered her as a very tall,
Brge-framed, well-formed, active, and
■rong woman; that her front teeth were
Brge aud irregular, her chin square, mas*
■ Te - and protrusive; that her anger was al
ways easily aroused to fury; that at times
Be w,s very cruel to him, and at other
■mes most fend and caressing in her
Beech and manner; that she loved him at
■mes most dotingly—solely because he was
only child—and hated him most bitter
ly other times solely because he was the
Bn of her husband, aud loved his father
Bncli more than he loved his mother.
■ Especially did Bazilio remember that his
Bother and father hated each other with a
that often flashed from angry speech
furious strife, in which blows with fists
Bd missiles of anything at hand were
Botly exchanged; also, that when they last

I lr y had concocted a ]>li\usihlo story lo
lell him, and baited,i bail put implicit faith
in the story. Ho believed that llizilto was
clovi.t and to bis in ores's simply because
I hizilio expect and to thrive under his pro
tect on an I patronage, lt.xr.il o, who had
been in Lis service several years, bad never
betraye I any of bis secrets simply be
■anse it had not b. en to Ji izdio's interest
to play the traitor to the l lap lam. lh
Captain therefore put full faUliTu TLtzßlo'i
and to ion to his desires.
To fuilv gain llio Captain’s confidence,
so far as (he outlaw wish concerned, llazibo
had told him why Crbuudt had been out
awed in Now dork, and l.albata had then
eagerly ongtged Uibmdt’s scrtices, sup
posing the man would ho forced to serve
him in anything, fiom font- that Balbatt
might deliver hint to the police were he to re*
fuse to he the Captain's unquestioning slave.
Bnlhut t hail already resolved to make use
of I ibandt to abduct Vernoeua, should he
and Dame Grippard come to terms this
morning.
lint the onllaw aud his son had deter
mined that \ erneena should be Bazilio s
pru >, nud also that she should bo abducted
ax the intended prize of the Captain. Their
plan of capture demanded tho assistance
of the Captain, without mousing his sus
picion that he was used simply us their tool
in the mattor.
Ihe whole party were now in tho room
toward which Jansen’s intentions had led
• hem. Jansen aud another nun wero al
ready busily at work in an effort to force
upward tho scuttle we have mentioned,
l he tus ; was found to be far more difficult
than Jansen had expected. It demanded
ha and work and several minutes to exe
cute it.
Man while those who had entered this
room had separated info little groups to
uw at the forcing of ihe scuttle, aid to cau
t oui'ly exchange opinions of tho affair.
We 1 apart fiorn tho others, the Captain
md the and ime discussed their scheme cou
erniug Yerueena. Edward and Verueeua,
i also remote from other-*, conversed iu
whispers of their matters. After taking in
Aid scene with one of his sweeping and
covert glances, Bazilio whispered to his
father:
“Are you as confident concerning the or
igin of her reputed graud-daughter as you
■pre about the old woman’s?”
“Is tho girl here, my son?”
“Of course! Have you not looked at her
also?”
“No, my son. I have been so keenly en
gaged in studying the dame’s face and
ways that I have not even glanced twice at
any one else. Is that the girl whose hand
is clinging to that young officer’s arm?”
“Yes. What do you think of her?”
“Wait t.ll her face is turned fully toward
me, my son. So Ah! What a wonderful
resemblance! Sbo is undoubtedly the
child of whom we were speaking this morn
ing, and whom your mother sto e when he
stole the six thousand pounds and the jew
els. I did not have a fair view of her face
the other day when I was spying about oui
dame’s cottige at Yoikville. My faith, she
is indeed the living and exact image of her
mother. Whit a wonderful resemblance!”
Iu fact Crbandt’s eves had no sooner
gotten a full view of Yerueena’s lovely
features than he started as suddenly nndfth
most as markedly as Ba bata had in tho
room under the cupola when he first beheld
the samo angolic countenance.
Just as Vibandt whispered to his son
the last word wo have quoted as h s, Yex>-
neena chanced to turn her eves in that di
rection and to meet Bazilio s ardent stare.
A deep and sudden flush of indignant mod
esty swept over her face, and she turned
hor eves quickly from Bazilio to another
quarter of the room, saying to herself:
“How dares he stare at me in this manner!
lie is tho same insolent-eyed wretch who
has more than once tried to attract my no
tice when he was at the cottage to see Dame
Grippard. I detest him! Maggie told me
that ho twice offered her money to consent
to take a letter from him to me, and that
sho would not do so. If I were not sure
Edward would instantly knock him down,
I would tell him of this fellow’s imperti
nence now."
Verneena had already found an opportu
nity to reveal to Edward all she knew and
suspected of the dame’s purpose to place
her in Balbata’s power, and the young of
ficer would certainly have made hot work
for the Spaniaid ere this time had he and
Verneena not agreed to carry out a plan
whose success demanded pretended iguor
ance of the design of Dame Grippard and
Captain Balbata.
“She blushes! She reads my passion in
my eyes!” mentally exclaim and Bazilio, as
ho noted Yemeeua’s crimsoned cheeks.
“After all, she may not be so deeply in love
with this naval jackanapes as not to leave
mo a chance to win her heait even before
she is at my mercy! However, it will bo
most prudent to conceal my love until I
have a better opportunity to urge it upon
her acceptance. So—the scuttle is forced.”
At ih s moment Jansen and his helper
freed tbo obstinate scuttle from all its
fastenings and cist it upward, leaving ao- (
Cess to the roof clear and open. Jahfffen
was about to spring through ihe opening
to hurry to enter tho cupola, when Edward
called out:
“Wait where you are. Jansen. Take care
what you do, my good man. Wait where
you are a moment. ”
“lam at your service, Mr. Hawksworthy,”
replied Jahaen, who had formed a vory
high estimate of Edward’s character al
ready.
"Should you be the first and only one to
find in the cupola what I fear yon will, ray
good man,” continued Edward, at the foot
of the ludder, “and be alone there a few
minutes, some person now boro may ven
ture to declare that you moved the body to
prevent others from seeing it exactly as you
found it."
“True, sir,” replied tho Rwedo, grate
fully. “I forgot Dame Gripi nrd’s malicious
jiuts and assertion*. She is mean enough
lo try to do me any injury. Will you please
tome up, sir. and go with me to the cu
pola.” . , . .
But by this time two men who had just
filtered tho room advanced so far as to
bring them in range with Jansen's sight,
md, recognizing th m instantly, ho called
out before Edward could reply:
“Ah, here are Coroner Addf&at and Dr.
Bo war. Very glad to see you, gentlemen,
md especially at this time."
“What! A Coroner und a doctor here §o
soon!” cried Dame Grippard, quite amazed.
“I am glad you are come, Mr. Addfast,
and you also, Dr. Bomar; but I can t see
how you have heard so soon that there
might be need of your presence at Old
Anchors.” _ _ . , „
‘‘ Are von really f.ure. Dame Grippard,
responded the Coroner, blandly, “that there
will be need of my services here this morn
ino? I hope it is a false alarm. Both Dr.
Bomar and myself had an appointment
with Mr Bratton—made with him day be
fore yesterday—to meet him hero to-day
about this hour. He is our creditor in a
small joint affair of ours, and we are to ray
h™ to-day. But I have just heard below
th” there is a rumor of Air. Brattons
death bv violence, or something of the
kind and the doctor and I burned up to
learn the truth as speedily as possible, es

hour in another quarter of the city, and can
not remain hove long, unless there is real
I need for my presence
*Come right up, Mr Addfast, and the
dootor, too, oalled out Janson, eager to
have his doul.is solved. "1 am suio that
Mr. llrattou is badly hmt, if not dead, in

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
Pasteur proposes to rid Australia of
its rabbits, which have become a danger
ous pest, by inoculating them with
chicken cholera.
Dr. Sicbert, a Gertnan-Americnn pity
sician in New York, a competent
authority on the subject, holds tliut

One electric light system for ears em
bodies both the dynamo and storage
battery, seeking to overcome the defe ts
from one source of electricity by the tpo
of its conjugate. Dynamo and engine
are in the baggage-car, and steam sup

battery taking up the work when the
loco is uncoupled.
The gingttlar fact is demonstrated that
while the most rapid cannon shots
scarcely attain a velocity of six hundred
meters a second, over fifteen hundred
knots per hour, meteorites are known to
penetrate the air with a velocity of forty
thousand or even sixty thousand meters
per second, a velocity which raises the
air at once to a temperature of 4,000
degrees to 6,000 degrees cent.
Electricity has at length been turned
toward the propulsion of an ordinary
catriage. At Brighton, England, lately,
a dogcart with a one-half-horse power
motor, and with accumulators equal to
six hours’ work, was shown in opera
tion. The vehicle will go nine miles an
hour on asphalt and four miles on an
ordinary macadamized road. It is not
of much account climbing hills.
We see it stated that the Chicago,
Milwaukee it St. Paul li. K., has under
consideration a plan for working some
forty pneumatic gates at crossings in
Minneapoi s, Minn., by an air compressor
iu the shops. A pipe line will tap a
storage and equalizing reservoir in each
cabin, and connect w th the compressor,
and cooling and drying tank in the shops.
It is not proposed to lay the pipe below
frost.
The latest idea in the direction of
waterproof loot-wear is a shoe made with
a stout calfskin vamp, seamlc s, underly
ing which is a vamp of thin rubber,
and between it and the lining, which is
of stout canvas. The bottom of the shoe
has a rubber interlining between the
outer and the inner soles, and thus the
shoe is about as near waterproof as a
leather shoe can be. It is said to wear
well and preserve its waterproof qualities
for au indefinite period.
Some instantaneous photographs of
bullets in motion have re; entlv been
taken in Germany by Herren M ich and
R Salcher. The object of the experi
ment was to determine the waves formed
in the air displaced by the motion of the
bullet. Experiments were, therefore,
made with the Werndl caib'ne, giving a
velocity of 1,110 feet per second ; and the
Guedes rifle, with a velocity of l,73oteet
per second; and with these very distinct
photographs were obtained, show ing in
the clearest possible manner the character
of the waves set up by the bullet iu its
passage.
Veneer manufacturers having been put
to much trouble and expense to secure
from the natives of Persia,or from French
markets, even, fancy wood burls from
which to carve out veneers for manufac
turing purposes, have demonstrated by
recent experiments that red wood stumps
possess meritorious qualities for such use
and will undoubtedly he substituted for
the more costly woods in the future.
The demand for burl and curly red wood
for finishing work has already reached
large proportions in the West. The
large butts of trees now being slain in
California forests will be used to a great
extent.
Minn Engineering announces that a
remarkable engineering feat lias just been
carried out in China in the face of un
usual physical obstacles. 'ill’s was the
stretching of a steel cab’e of seven strands
across the Euan river by Mr. A. de Linde,
a Danish civil engineer, aided only by
unskilled Chinese labor. The cable is
strung from two points, 4,04S feet apart,
'lhe height of one support is 447 feet
above the present level of the river, and
the second support is 747 feet above it.
The vertex over the water is 74 feet.
The Chinese cable is the largest but cne

In the Senate, a number of Dills were
reported from committees. Among them
were tlie following: House bill lor the
construction of a revenue cutter in
Charleston, South Carolin, in place of
the cutter .McCulloch. To authorize the
coustruo'ioii of u bridge across the Cape
I\ar and other rivers in Nor h Carolina.
To formation and admission into the
Union of tho states of Washington and
North Dakota (with a minoiity report).
Further bills were reported Irom com

cluding House bid for the purchase of
the swords of General James Shields....
In the House, Sir. White, of New York,
offered a resolution requiring the l’ost
mas General to inform the House what
Instructions, if any, by circular, letter or
otherwise, have been given to subordi
nate officers with regard to mail matter
received from Canada, which urc intended
to prohibit American seeds from using
United States mails on the same trains
with citizens of the dominion of Canada
living in the same vicinage and compet
ing in tlie same branch of business. In a
decision, which took place about the pub
lic printing office, Mr. O’Neill, of Mis
souri, declared that if tlie e ght-hour law
was not passed, to set a good example that
would be followed in private busin ss, its
passage was a piece of hyproerisy to play
upon the working cla-ses. it was pass and
in the hope that tli it voids of idle men
would be absorbed in the ranks of indus-
try. That was the spirit of the law. The
public printer violated that law, and it
was also violated in the bureau of engrav
ing and printing.
In the Senate, Air. Iliddlebcrgcr, from
the committee on naval affairs, reported
a bill for the relief of the Albemarle &
Chesapeake Canal Company. Air. Drown
called up a resolution, offered by him on
the 4th of January, declaring it the im
perative duty of Congress to repeal the
internal revenue laws, at the earliest day
practicable; and proceeded to address
the Senate in advocacy of it—occupying
his seat while be read his speech from
manuscript. Air. Cuilom moved that the
Seuate bill, reported from the post-office
committee to regulate commerce carried
by telegraph, be referred to the commit
tee on interstate commerce. Agreed to
after a few words from Mr. Reagan in
vindication of the post-office committee.
... Speaker Carlisle resumed liis post of
duty iu the House, and was greeted with
a round of applause. 'J he bill reducing
the fee for passports to one dollar was
passed. Several private bills were passed,
and one measure referring to the court of
claims, the claim of llannnll J. Jones
executrix of Emanuel Jones, gave rise to
considerable discussion. The facts in the
case are, that du ing the War, Emanuel
Jones, a British subject, residing in Afo
bilc, purchased with Confederate money
a number of bales of cotton. In April,
1865. the Federal army took possession of
Afobilc, and a guard having been placed
around the warehouse in which the cotton
was stored, Jones was denied admission
thereto. In August folluwing, the ware
house was burned down and the cotton
destroyed. The claim is for the value of
the cotton so destroyed. Air. Hopkins
moved to lay the bill upon the table.
Pending the action on the motion, the
House adjourned.
Iu the Senate, the House bill to author
ize the construction of bridges over the
St. Alary's and other railroads in Georgia
and Florida was reported from the com

A GENUINE SURPRISE.
A Striko of lfiifpiioprs on llin Arcbmon, To
pt'ka aV Santa Fc Kai.'rond.
Thirty-two hundred miles of railway
were tied up in exactly ten minutes by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen. The entire main line of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe com
pany, and all its branches, were brought
to a standstill. The stretch of territory
from St. Paul on the north, to El Paso on
th ■ south —practically the whole breadth
of the United States—is now involved in
the struggle that started between the Bur
lington company and its employes. The
“t red’’ feeling that so suddenly attacked
the engintrmen in the far W< st seems to
have infused also their chiefs in Chicago,
111. Lights were out at their rooms in
the hotel at a startling early hour, aud
each of ihe principal executive officers of
the army of 60,000 men was apparently
deep iu peaceful slumber. Repeated
knockiugs by newspaper men, bearing
bundles of telegrams telling of the battles
spread, were without avail. The first in
dication of trouble there was when tho
Osage City express was scheduled to de
part, when Engineer Higgins quickly
stepped dowu fiorn his engineer’s cab and
refused to pull out. The train was
finally tent out au hour later, with Bn
gineer Furst at the throttle. Air. Furst
is a regular Santa Fe engineer, but lie has
a grievance again-t the Brotherhood, and
as ho mounte 1 the engine, he rema ked;
“The Brotherhood gave me the worst of
it once, and now I am going to get even."
A strike will begin on the Kansas City,
Fort Scott und Gulf system, and on the
Missouri Pn-iflc. Engineers on both
roads disclaim any knowledge of any
such plan, but the sudden and surprising
turn of affaiis oil the Santa Fc the othir
evening, strengthens the belief in the re
ports. Advices from Pleasant Hill,
are to the iffect that a Missouri
Pacific engineer was heard to say that
there would he a strike on that road.
Tnerc was no notice of a strike or sus
pension of work, no notice of any griev
ance. On the contrary, there was on the
pa’tof representatives of tho Brotherhood
repeated disclaimers to any purpose to
injure lhe Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Company, or to refuse to perform their
duties as engineers. They also admitted
repeatedly that they had no grievance
against the Santa Fe road, but that they
sympathiz <1 with their friends on the
“Q,” and wanted to aid them iu the
fight.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers at every point, visited are Arm;
so are the railroad officials. At the far
ther western points the men who arc out
seem to lie more determined and more
radical than the men East. This is
especially true at Kansas City. Meet
ings are held the re daily, and the chair
men of the grievance committccsof other
roads speak at tho meetings, and with
out exception, express themselves ready
to abandon their engines if necessary.
As regards the Brotherhood, the situation
as expres-ed by Chief Arthur is this: If
they lose the tight they have in mgurnted
against the Burlington system it means
death to their organization. Tlie Broth
erhood command >160,000 to >500,000,
aud tlie chief claims that by assessment
as much more can be raised. Therefore
the meu are in a fighting position, and
yet if a break comes in the ranks the or
eler will retrograde and become such an
one as that now organized by the con
ductors—tin insurance company. Asa
rule, tlie conductors are keeping out of
the light. Those of tlie Chicago and
Northwestern are the only ones who are
openly in sympathy with the engineers.
The Brotherhood of Brakemen have a
grievance against tlie engineers, resulting
from differences which occurred in 1876
and 1877. Yet, asfaras could be learned,
there is not a brotlieiliood brakeman who
is willing to act as pilot to non-union en
gineers. Grand Master Wilkiuson, of
the brakemen, is visiting at th s time
all points on the Burlington sys
tem pledging the support of his men.
All of the switch engines of the Union
Pacific doing work in the Council Bluffs,
lowa, yards, were quietly t aken to the
round-house by the engineers in charge.
When asked their reasons for quitting
work, tiiey replied they were sick and
tired of work. It is understood they g ive
these reasons on account of Judge Dun
dy’s decision, but it was very noticeable
how sudden an engineer became sick or
tired when he saw a "Q” ear coupled up
behiud liis engine. All passengers and
dummy trains are running ns usual.
Every switch engine in the employ of the
Union Pacific Railroad had its tire drawn
and stood silently in tlie round-house.
No freight left the city all night. Ordi
narily from eight to fourteen freight
trains depart from there daily. The sud
den “sickness” which developed among
the engineers recently at the sight of the
Burlington ears, continued to spread
when tlie night crew came on and found
a “Q” car on nearly every side track.
Eighteen engineers were sick, and only
four of the seventeen yard engines were
at work.
THE EMPEROR’S BURIAL.
The official programme for the funeral
of the late Emperor William of Ger
many, was as follows: On the 9th, at 11
a. m,, the bells of churches began tolling.
The officers started, and all functionaries
charged with special duties took their
prescribed positions around the coffin.
In accordance with Emperor William’s
last wishes, the services at the cathedral
were conducted by Dr. Ixoegle, who was
assisted by the cathedral clergy. While
prayers were being pronounced over the
remains, the infantry outside the cathe
dral fired three volleys. The coffin was
released from the dins by twelve senior
colonels who bore it to the funeral car
riage. The procession through the ca
thedra! was led by Court Chamber nin,
Count Von Stolberg-Wernigerod. Start
ing amid tho tolling bells, the procession
crossed the castle bridge, passed through
Under den Linton to Brndenburg gate.
At Si-gessile, members of the inn ( rial
family entered carriages and proceeded to
Chsrlottcnburg mausoleum. There re
galia was withdrawn from the procession,
and sent back to the treasuiy. The can
opy over the coffin was lifted off. Eight
lieutenants assumed charge of the ho sos,
and four captains took the places of the
Knights of the Black Eagle as j alb
bearers.

A TREMENDOUS STORM
*vrerpi Through lh North; Trnfllc Is Sus
printed n and (*rrnt Hardships Muflrrf and.
One of the most terrific storms that has
not been equalled siuce 1855, swept
through the North, and was very severe
in the state of New York. The state is
absolutely snowed under. The oldest
person never saw it so severe. Not ont
train was and sputched by cither Erie or
the Central, something unprecedented.
Telegrams from distances of 200 mill 8
have the same story to tell, namely,
“It’s the worst storm ever known here.”
Snow drifts iu the business streets of the
Alctropolil are as deep as iu the country
districts. Grown persons have never saw
the like. Ambulance horses at different
hospitals were completely worn out early
in the night, and calls iu many cases
could not be responded to. The East
rivei, between New York aud Brooklyn,
was frozen hard, and many people crossed
on the ice. Business was suspended. All
telegraph wires were down. Alost of the
people who got to business were unable
to get home at night, and hotel accom
modations were strained to their utmost.
Stoies and offices were converted into
sleeping apartments for the benefit of
employes. Alany girls were com
pelled to accept such quarters. A
majority of the theaters closed.
A woman absolutely froze to death at
the corner of Broadway aud Fulton
street, popularly supposed to he the bus
iest four corners on the earth. In hun
dreds of streets, loaded wagons were
abandoned and the horses taken to the
neatest stables. George Barrymore, au
importer and dealer in hops, was fouud
frozen stiff in a snow drift in Seventh
avenue. Barrymore lived with his wife
and family iu Osborne fla’s iu Fifty-first
street and Broadway. He started for his
office down town, and it is supposed he
became cxhau-tcil and dropped by the
way unnoticed. The body of Annie
Halpin Fisher, aged about 30 years, was
found in the night frozen stiff in a
hallway in west 39th street, where she
lived. She was once well known in the.
social world, but had fallen into bad
habits.
Tho storm raged at Albany, N. Y. Its
equal lias never been seen iu that vicini
ty. Only twenty-three of one hundred
aud sixty members of the legislature were
present at roll call, and probably it will
be several days before a session will he
called. A train which left Rochester
was stalled about five miles out. About fif
ty members aud acnators were on board.
No provisions could be obtained for the
snow-bound party until the next day,
when they ate frosted ham and potatoes.
A Rochester mil ionaire and a Buffalo
sta csman cooked for the hungry passen
gers until all were provided for. A stock
train is snowed in, and the stock all froze
to death. At Saratoga forty inches of
snow have fallen. The wind is blowing
from all points of the compass. The
snow is badly drifted. At Troy it
snow ed for forty hours, and the ground is
covered to the depth of four feet. A
milk famine is threatened if the blockade
is not soon cleared.
Railroad men who have attempted to
open communication between Baltimore
and Philadelphia report the railroad cuts
drifted twenty feet deep or more and the
snow frozen solid in the broken country
north of the Susquehanna river. The
worst trouble was at the Long bridge
over the Potomac, where men could not
work on amount of the high wind and
intense cold. From Alexandria south,
the wires are intact and will be working
between Washington and Alexandria to
afford prompt telegraphic communication
Southward. Wasliington is noted for its
changeable climate, hut there is nothing
upon record, within memory, more re
markable than the change from tho
spring-like mildness to the furious snow
and rain, followed by tlv: freezing gales.
AN AWFUL DEED.
A Missouri Donor Throws V.irol In s

Dr. George W. Cox, a prominent phy
sician of Springfield, Mo., and United

who tcc imc infatuated with a woman

and after his son had become notorioua
and hid squindercd several thousand
dollars upon the woman, the doctor en
ticed the latter to Springfield l>y menus
of telegrams signed with his son’s name.
The woman arrived, and entered a car
riage at the depot. Dr. Cox was in the
carriage and as soon as the woman en
tered it, h.' broke over her head a bottle
of vitrol. The woman's screams brought
the police, who released her from the
freuz ed physician, arrested him and
eared for the woman. The latter is hor
ribly disfigured. Both eyes are and stroyed
but‘she will not lose her life. The doc

'Tis pleasant pain to part
When love is not forgot;
Forget me not—forget me nett

Fish Living in Hot Water.
There is a pond on the I.ay ranch at
Golconda, which is fed by the waters
from the hot springs. This pond has an
area of two or three acres, and the tem
perature of (he water is about eighty-five
degrees, and in some places where the
hot water bubbles up from the bottom
the temperature is almost up to the boil
ing point. Hccently the discovery has
been made that this warm lake is lit
erally alive with carp, some of which are
more than a foot long. All efforts to
catch them with a hook and line have
failed, as they will not touch the most
tempting bait. A few of them have been
shot, and, contrary to the general sup
position, the flesh was hard and palata
ble. How the lish got into the lake is a
mystery unsolved. Within 100 feet of it
arc springs which are boiling hot, and
the ranchers in the vicinity use the water
to scald hogs in the butchering season.

Buffalo Farming.
Much has been written about the terri
ble loss of life in the Northwest during
the recent blizzard being due to the
scarcity of buffalo robes, which f on
tribute the only defense against the
rigors of that country. It is true that a
buffalo robe or coat is now beyond the
reach of those with slender purses, and it
is true that for certain purposes the
buffalo hide and fur are superior to any
others. This leads me to the suggestion
that if some of the great cattle kings of
the West would gi re up raising rattle
and go into buffalo fanning they would
find it an immensely profitable business.
Not only would every hide obtainable
find a ready sale, but the meat would
find a market in the cities, and the refuse
of the carcass could be made into the
diveii articles of profitable commerce that
the steer now affords.— *Qlobe-DmuxnMi
