THIS TEXAS CATTLE KINGS.

Texas alone has 3,800,000 cattle, di
vided into 950,000 beeves, 950,000 .cows,
And 1,900,000 young cattle. The* plains
Then theielwill be no West to settle up,
no great'4ock ranges, but farms fend

I predict that those men who begin now

find-tbat before they die that these lands
will be worth more re them’than their
herdkewer ^conld .faxYe been. The great
to New* Orleans, has led to curious con
clusions. It is said that the motion of
the, earth' on its axes or some jesnlt of
aome general law of nature most have be
gotten this uniform and constant abrasion
of the eastern shore of the river. Fort
Pillow has wholly disappeared. There is
noja yestige of the earthworks erected
by General Pillow and others at Ran
dolph. The river has cut cavernous
depths for its strong currents beneath the
everlasting hills, and these have slowly
.crumbled and!’ fallen,' a grain of sand at
a time, into th&mighty deep. Now apd
then hiIIsides have digippeared in a sin
gle night, and curiously enough, this
work of 'desolation goes 6n mainly upon
the eastern side of the river. Here at
Memphis, .as at Vicksburg, Columbus,
Fort Pillow and Randolph the resistless,
fathomless river, whose course none may
anticipate and none can resist, pursues
its appointed tasks with a forco and per
tinacity which has lessened property val
ues between Wolf driver and Fort Picker
ing many mHUonaaf dollars. Great as
is the damage already done by the
mighty river, the calamity begotten is
steadily progressive, and none can tell
when a deflection of the wilful current
may releive the anxieties olthose owning
property along the river shore betweei
the nary-yard and Fort Pickering. ' Thj
city once imagined that.in the navy-yard
it had a basis of credit to be used ia the
perfection of its mlway system.—
The Little Rock road at one time was
strengthened in its resources by a mort
gage on tha. navy-yard. Tbe .mortgage
subsists, but tbe property has been dis
posed of by a power against which chan
cery may issue its thunders in vain.—
Plainly enough while tlio river holds its
present course, there is no assignable
limitation to its destructive ness.

What is'a Gentleman.
In tbe course of an address to the
Young Men’s Christian Association, de
livered by the Bishop of Manchester,
his lordship said:
Some peopie think a gentleman means
a man of independent fortune—a man
who lias his clothes made in the height
of fashion by the most- expensive tailor
—a man who keeps a large establishment
a man who |are8 sumptuously exvrr day,
a man who heeds not work ’for 'jus ^afly
bread. - None of these things make
gentleman—not oue of them.
of them* together. ’ I have known, when
I had charge of. country parishes, and
when I was brought closer into contact
with, working men tban from my changed
position I am brought now—I- have
known men of the toughest exterior, who
had been accustomed nil their life to
follow the plow and look after horses, as
’thorough gentleman in heart as any no
bleman that ever wore a ducal coronet
I mean I have known them as unselfish;
I have known them as tender; 1 have
known them as sympathyzing—and all
these qualities go to make what I under
stand by the term a gentleman. It is a
noble privilege, which has been prosti
tuted, and what I want to tell you is,
that the humblest man in deeds, who has
tbe lowest work in life to do, may yet,
if his heart be tender and pure, and
true be, in the most emphatic • senre of
ti|»word, a gentleman. . i *jr
cipal pasturages are on the Nueces, Bio
Qiande, Guadalupe, San Antonio, .Col-
orado, Loon, .Brazos, Trinity, Sabine,
and Bed Rivers. : The cat tle are owned
by scores of ranchemen,. each one of
whom has from 1,000 to- 75,Q00 head.
On the Sapta Catrutos River is a ranch
containing 84,132 acres. Jt is owned by
one man* Richard King, ■ and has on it
65.000 head of Cattle, 20,000 horses, 7,-
000 sheep, and . 8,000 goats. - This im
mense number of live stock requires 1,000
saddle horses- and 300 Mexicans to attend
and herd it, Ten thousand beeves
annually Bpld from the ranch, and 12,000
young calves branded. ..There is another
ranche on the San Antonio River, near
Goliad, which grazes 40,000 head of
cattle, and brands 11,000 head of calves
annually. Mr. O’Connor, the owner of
this ranch, sells 875,000 worth of stock
each year, and his herds are constantly
increasing. In 1862 he began cattle rais
ing with 1,500 hard and his present
enormous herds and wealth are t the
1 he result of natural increase. Ou the
* lulf, between the Rio Grando and Nue
ces, is a ranch containing 142,750 acres,
and owqed by Robidcaux. It is
peninsula, surrounded on three sides by
water, and, to inclose the other side, has
required the building of thirty-one miles
of fence. Every three miles along the
fences are houses for the herders, and
enormous stables and pens for the stock.
There ore grazing, in this enclosure, 30,-
000 head of beef cattle, besides
men.se number of other stock.
A ranch on tho Brazos River contain
ing 50,000 head of cattle, 800 horses, and
herders. John Hitaon, the owner, drives
10.000 cattle, to. market annually., Ten
years.ago he was u. poor farmer in Ten-
nessee, but selling his land and going to
the Brazos, he succeeded by dint of la-
getting together sixty cows-and
nine blood mares, when he went to rais
ing stock. He has now 50,000 head of
cattle, worth at least §45,000, and he
still only 40 years old.
There is a ranch on the Concho River,
Texas, where, I am told, one mi

True and False’ Modestt.—^Nothing
is more amiable than true modesty, and
nothing", more contemptible than' that
which is false—the one guards virtue, the
other betrays it. True modesty is ashamed
to do anything that is repugnant to right
reason’; false modesty is ashamed to do
anything that is opposite to the humor
of those with whom the party converses.
True modesty avoids everything that' is
criminal; false modesty ev'erything that
is unfasb onablo; the latter is only a gen
eral, undetermined instinct; the former
is that instinct limited and.circumscribed
by the rules of prudence.

Coquettes and Flirts.
. “Are they not ono and the sxune ?’
we hear people inquire.
No, sir. No, madam; there is as inueh
difference between a flirt and coquet e,
as between a professional gambler and
a.chance card player iu a parlor game.
In bot| the weapons employed may
be the safoe, but a broad sea of difference
lies between them. A coquette Juts simp
ly the bosom tic pin ire upon her. For
i! she snuieB or frowns, is silent or loqua
cious, tender or witty, and has little
thought of any results beyond a tempor
ary gratification of vanity.. She is born
with a desire tp appear at her best-in ,the
eyes of every man she meets, and the
vapid injution to . comprehend and ad
dress herself to the strength, and .weak
ness of tleir characters. , Her nature is
to; charm, to bo admired. Sometimes
she inspires a very inconvenient passion,
but that is quiet out of her programme,
if programme she ever has, for her spon
taneous art of pleasing.
A coquette is not unfeeling by nny-
meaas. The tendere&t-bearted and most
susceptible of womankind are found in her
ranks. But she could no more give op
her little arts af pleasing than change
the colors of hex; eyes, with which she
discourses so eloquently. A

The stock fom these counties oro>driven

ore slaughtered, jmcked in steamers, oi

Boston, and other Northern markets. A
great many cattle, are. driven North on
foot by way of Abilene, Kansas. Some,
follow the Pecos and paaa into Arizona
and California; .others keep along the
Arkansas to Bento*,Ford, thence across
Colorado^, over the Black Hills, and into
Wyoming; and on up into Utah, Mon
tana; Navada, and Idaho. There are
some drivers whose names I canuot men
tion, but the whole number of cattle
brought North oyerland from Texas du
ring tho year 1870 did hot fall short of
100.000 head. Of these, 20,000 went to
Montana, 8,000 to Utah; 8,000 to Nevada
9.000 to Wyoming, • 10,000 to California,
11.000 to Idaho, and 80,000 to Colorado
and New Mexico. Theamount of money
handled along the base of. the mountains
in transferring this stock was oter $1,
250,000. At Abilene, the great^Kfensas
cattle market,over $200,000 were bandied.
The aMpments in September reached
00,009 hea l, and in October nearly 75,
000 head. This immense trade ruay-be

.flirts belong to’a different oydor. The
simple expression confer ties fleurtttes,

no idea of the real nature of this dis
grace to womanhood. There ia always a

flirt. No general <jn the day of kittle

more care, and thought out his combina

Of course it is well understood .that
a flirt has not a spark of womanly del

look in the eyes of twenty men in quick
succession with the same tenderness, and

■to engage herself to several, in _order
to give greater pain to her fattp' de

Her shallow nature, ’ never' ' deeply

inflict. Its sensuous side is gratified
by the language of a passion she cannot
