What this pajKir was used for was for a long time a mystery ; hut it has recently ls:i:n revealed that it enters into the inanu- fneitiie of ‘‘tiure Havana cigars.” It is said that when saturated in the jnico of tohaeeo sterna, the straw paper makes a “ tilling ” almost equal, if not sujmrior, to the genuine leaf.

To such a refine ment of art has this business been carried that by the use of machines rolled oyer the sheet of paper an almost perfect im pression of the tobacco leaf is obtained, the peculiar “spots” being printed as on calico.

Here, toe, wus a dense throng ol hullitlnes, strelcliing oil to the undulating horizon. As Ihe two explorers walked on, it wide lane seemed to open in the mighty herds before them. Insensibly, and without any hurry, the creatures drifted away to the right and left, browsing or staring, hut continually moving. Looking hack, they saw that the Ini Haloes had closed up their ranks on the trail which they had just pursued; while before, and on either hand, was a wall of animals. “We are surrounded!” iilmosl whis pered Arthur, with some alarm. ‘‘Never mind, my hoy. We can walk out, just as the children of Israel did from ihe Bed Sea. Only we have waves of bn Haloes, instead of water, to close lirhiiid uml 11 pm before and tic a wall <111 each side. Boo ! And, as they kept oil, the mass before them melted away in sonic mysterious fashion, always at the same distance from “See! We move in a vacant space t hut I ravels with us wherever we go, Arty.” “ Ye*,” the hid. “ It seems just as if were a candle in the dark. The open ground around us iH the light wo shed ; the htifi'aloes are the darknessoutalde.” “ A good figure of speech, that, my laddie. I must remember it. Ihit we are getting mil of the wilderness.” They had now mine to a sharp rise of ground, broken by a rocky ledge, which turned the herds more to O10 northward. Aiteending this, they were out of the bilflUlnes for Ihe time, lint beyond them were thousands more. Turning south ward, they struck across the country lor the wagon-track, quite well satisfied with their explorations. lielween tivd Wig divides, or ridges, they cuiue upon a single wagon, eanvas- covered, in which were two little chil dren. Two hoys—one about seven and the other eleven years old were playing near by, and four oxen wore grazing by a spring. In reply lo Mont's surprised question as lo how they came oil the (rail, and why they were here alone, they said that I heir falhcr ami uncle laid come 11 p-ufter ImllhloeH, and were out with their guns. Their mother was over on the biiill’ - |Hiin!ingto a little rocky mass which rose like an island in Ihe middle of the vnllev. She luid gone to hunt for “sar- vieo-liurricH.” They were left to mind ihe cattle and the children. “ I ’ret I y careless business. I should sa.v,” murmured Mont. “ Well, young alcrs,” he added, “ keep by the wagon ; if your cattle stray off, they may get cur ried away by the* lilt Haloes. Mind that!” They went on down Ihe valley, look ing behind them at Ihe helpless little family alone in 1 he wilderness. “A man ought to lie licked for leaving his voting ones here in such a lonelv place.” said Mont. .Suddenly, over the southern wall ol the valley, like n thundercloud, rose a vast and ileeing herd ol hiiMitloes. They were not only running, they were rush ing like a mighty Hood. “A stampede! a stampede!" cried Mont; and, Hying hack to the uncon scious group of children, followed bv Ar thur, lie said; “Run for your lives, youngsters! Make for the hlulf!” Seizing one of the little ones,and bid ding Arthur Hike tlmotlier,hesturied Ihe hoys ahead for the islaiid-hluH', which was some way down the valley. There was not a moment lo lose. Rebind them, like a rising tide, flowed the buffaloes in surges. A confused murmur filled Iho air; Ihe ground resounded with the hur ried heat of countless hoofs, and the. earth seemed (o he disappearing in the advancing torrent. ('lose behind Ihe Hy ing fugitives the angry, panic-stricken herd tumbled and tossed. Its labored breathing sighed I ike a breeze, and the warmth of its pulsations seemed to stifle the air. “To the left I to the left!” screamed Arthur, seeing tiie bewildered hoys, who (led like fleer, making directly for * the steepest part of the bluff. Thus warned, the lad - bounded up Hie little island, grasping the underbrush as they climbed. Hard behind them came Arty, pule, his features drawn and rigid, and Is'aring in his arms a little, girl. Mont brought up the rear with 11 stout hoy on his shoulder, and breathless with excitement and llic Inltorions run. Up (lit: steep side they scrambled, fall ing a id recovering themselves, but up at hist. Been re on a hare rock, they saw a heaving tide of wild creatures pour tumultuously over the edge and fill the valley. It leaped from ledge to ledge, tumliled and broke, rallied again ami swept on, black and silent save for the rumbling thunder of many hoofs and the panting breath of the innumerable mul titude. On it rolled over every obstacle. The wagon disappeared in a twinkling, its white cover going down in the black tide like a sinking ship at sett. Past the island-like hlulf, where a little group stood Hpcll-bound, the herd swept, the rushing tide separating at the rocky jsiint, against which it beat ami parted to the right and left. Looking down, they saw the stream flow by, on and up the valley. It was gone, and the green turf was brown where it had been. The spring was choked, and the wagon was trampled in a lint ruin. Fascinated by the sight, Mont and Arthur never took their eyes from it until it was over. Then returning to their young charges, they saw a tall, gaunt woman, with a lionor-stricken face, galherinu the whole group in her arms. It was the mother. " I don't know who you he, young men, hut I (hank you from the bottom of my heart,” she said. “ Yes, I thank you from the bottom of my heart add, oh! I tlmnk (Sod, too!” And she burst into tears. Arthur, at loss wluit else to say, re marked : “Your wagon is all smashed.” “ I don’t care don’t care," said the woman, hysterically rocking herself to and fro where she sat with her children clasped to her bosom, “So's the young ones are sale, the rest may go to wrack.' As she spoke, a couple of horsemen, catrying lilies, came madly galloping down the valley, lar in the wake of the living herd. They paused, thunder struck, nl Ihe fragments of their wagon trampled in the torn soil. Then, seeing the group on the rock, they hastened on, dismounted, and climbed the little emi nence. "(Ireal powers above, Jcmimy! we -lampeded the laillhloes!” said the elder ol the pair of hunters. Arty expected to hear her say that she was thankful so long ns they were all alive. " Yes, and a nice mess you vc made ol it. ’ This was all her comment. “ Wlmr’s the cattle, Zcph asked the father ot this thick.

The Suez canal was an old scheme of M. do Losseps, and by 1852 he had submitted plans lor its construction to the porte, hut the porte decided that Turkey was not concerned. However, when Mo hammed Said came to he Viceroy of Egypt the Frenchman itad a friend in power, ami the work wan ordered to go oil. When M. dc Lessops was a consul in Egypt, Said was a .great fat hoy, and hi* father, Mcliemet All, annoyed at seeing this fatness increase, had him pitt on restricted diet, and used to send him Ibr two hours a day to walk round the city, to skip with a rope, to row uml to climb the masts of ships. The hoy made friends with M. de Is snopa and got secret meals of maccaroni from his servants. This was the beginning of a friendship which led to such memorable results; and it is a curious instance of how great things and small are interwoven in the web of life, that if Haiti I'aslm had not Is.-eii a fat Itoy with a severe father M. de Ix'sseps’ scheme might have been treated by him witli as little attention as it was by the jwrte, and we should h ive had no Hue/, canal. h is estimated that not more limn 75,000 cattle will be driven east from Texas in 1870, against 150,000 in 1875, and 240,000 in 1874. The estimate is made bv a seller of Texas cattle. FACTS AND FANCIES. I m battle of life: Courtship is the engagement or seige, the proposal is the assault, and matrimony the victory.

It has more than doubled in Ihe past ten years. Crime in Massachusetts is thirty-three per cent, greater than in Ireland; and the great, question now for all good citi zens is, how are we going to ship this increase of crime V The education of the intellect will not do it ; the churches can not stop it, for not half tho {ample of the United States ever go to church. The Sunday schools can not stop it. There are only two remedies: One is to multi ply jails, police courts, judges, peniten- tiarics, constabulary, etc., and the other, in the words of I)r.
