weeks ago, nud would have written be
fore this, but have been so busy that
I could not do so; and even now X am
so unsettled that I can tell you noth
ing as to my future movements. Tak
ing the trip from beginning to end I
hardly think there was ever a herd of
cattle driven so far as we drove otirs
■with so much of sunshine and good
lack. We lmd but four or live, days
of bad weather that amounted to much
after we left the range and started on
the drive, and but one wliere we had
to be tip all night. Of coarse Ful-
wood has told you all about cattle
driving, that the worso the weather
the tighter yon have to stick to them.
We had but one stampede, though the
cuttle would run every time it rained,
and they started about eleven o’clock
at night and were running off and on
until sunrise next day. I came very
near going up that night too, for I
was ahead of the herd doing all 1 of niyself in cow drivers’ -uniform, but
eighteen long and two thick, laid one
on top of.another as in brick, bat are
not ccmentcd in any way though they
sometimes plaster them inside with
mud. The house is shinyled witu. the
same material that the body is made
of. They procure the sod by' plowing
a furrow nud cutting into proper
leDgths with a spade. The grass
grows so tliielc and the plows cut so
shallow that I have seen a-piece of
sod over two hundred yards long with
out a single break in it. The grass
roots keeps the rain from washing
the house down. They will last some
times as long as ten years; Not a
nail is used in the construction ex
cept for the doors and windows, and
no timber except the ridge poles. If
I stay here until next Friday I will
probably go to a dance, if I do I will
give you the dots.
I did want to give you a photograph
could to stop them, and they pressed
me so hard that they ran my. mare
over a bluff with me; and the saddle
slipping over her head sent me a doub
le sn mmersanlt. I got off very well
though, as the bluff turned the cattle,
and prevented them from running
over me, as they would have done had
it been oe level ground.
Wc C; me across but one lot of In
dians on the trip, aud they were Os-
nges and half civilized, about five hun
dred of them camped on the Salt Fork
of the Arkansas River. We were a
little apprehensive that they would try
to steal our horses, but they did hot
molest ns in any way. Of course I
went through their camp, and was well
paid for my tny, as I had never seen
anything of the kind before.
I saw' coming throngli the Nation
and Kansas some of the prettiest coun
try in the world. On the Platte River
in this state the scenery was so preem
inently above ^llc balnuce as to merit
especial notice. It is a table land on
the bluffs, and the road was a wiuding
one which led to the top. Running
through a deep gorge we were shut
out from the view until we reached
the top, and then on one side was the
prairie spreading out without hill or
brake, tree or bnsh to the limit of out-
vision. On tbe other side was the riv
er, which with its eight channels was
four or five miles wide, dotted here
and there with small islands covered
with a thick growth of willows, and
On the opposite bank was one -of the
prettiest littlo towns, surrounded by
the most thrifty and neatest farms
yon ever saw. It- reminded me more
of a picture than anything else, and
looked too magnificent, too perfect, to
l a real. Kausns has less timber than
any State I have over seen. We trav
eled seven days* one after another,
without seeing even a bush, though
wo crossed several streams during the
time. On the Minnesqna river in that
State, we came across a herd of buf
falo, and I do not think that I exag-
erate in the least when I say it num
bered fully fifty thousaud. Of course
our camp was all excitement in a few
minutes, and the owner of onr cattle
turned ns loose. You can be sure that
it took but. a short time to catch onr
best horses, load oiu- pistols aud start
after them. We took the wind on
them and got as near as we could with
out startiug them, and then com
menced the most exciting rece of my
life. We bad to puslj onr horses to
the top of tlioir speed to get within
pistol shot of them, and did onr shoot
ing on the ruu; and whenever we
would shoot, the whole herd would
wheel as one- vast machine, with a sin
gle controlling spring; or a body of
Well drilled soldiers on dress parade,
without a break in the whole herd. It
yas decidedly the most- magnificen
.sight that I ever saw. Onr party kil-
Jed thirty or forty, I got but one
though I wounded four. We saw
.thousands for the next four days, and
saw them, to onr. sorrow too, as we
decided that I had rathe..* yon would
not see me in the plight that I was
in, besides you would not have known
me; will tell you though how l looked.
Imagine a youth some twenty sum
mers old, about my lieighth, long hair
the color of a bar of soap,-face covered
with a thin coat of hair, beautiful
ly crimson, in color, eyes a heavenly
blue, nose, aud in fact all the exposed
portions of the face as scaly as a fish,
and yon have the features. The
dress of this youth, consisted of a luit
with a brim about two inches wide,
plentifully adorned with holes, a neg
ligee shirt open at-, the top, the original
color entirely destroyed by dirt, pants
army blue, one leg slashed and- the
other gored, patched in the scat with
the remnant of 11 black cloth vest,
boots that, to say the least of it. were
convenient, as - they let in plenty of air
in .hot weather, and if when it rained,
they let iii watsr at one place there
was always another to let- it out, an oc
casional view, of a bare toe, (this youth
was too proud to wear socks, besides
he did not have them) was vouchsafed
the beholder. Then the whole picture
set off by a bandanna handkerchief of
a blight red color tied around the
neck, and an immense six-shopler
buckled round the waist, and you have
the tout ensemble, of this youth.—
Strain your, eyes and take another
look for that’s me, and I think I was
never happier than when I looked just
that way, for although there was not
a rag of clothing on me that did not
have a hole in it, it was not because I
was not able to bny more, but- from
the fact that I could not find them to
buy, and did not want them iflconld,
as we were passing through the Indian
Nation at- the the time and of course
never saw auy one except those who
were with other herds and they were
in us bad. a fix-as I was. Well I have
exhausted my thinker aud will have to
close.

Mrs. &• e’s Last Visit to Arlington.
■
There ave few modern incidents
more full of simple pathos than the
quiet visit which Mrs. Mafy Custis
Lee paid to the old homestead of Ar
lington about three weeks before her
death, Mrs. Lee had not put in words
her heart’s longing for the place en
deared to her by so many bright as
sociations, During the General’s life
time she had not said about her con
fiscated estate, at d after his death she
did no more than consent that a mod
est petition should be sent up to Con
gress asking that the judgment which
deprived her of her ancient home for
no fault of her own, should at any
rate be examined into,-even if it coidd
not- be. revised. It was thought she
took this step for the good of her chil
dren, and not because she had any
personal feeling in the matter.- But
and. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tex
as, Arkansas, and Tennessee—ten
States, averaging $232,000,000 to each
State. However, i t - is a well known
fact that hot more than eight. States
can-strictly, bo .called cotton States.—
Yet, Georgia, one of the first of the
cotton States, has nothing, compara
tively speaking, to show for the cotton
she has made, whigh can justly he set
down at- $300,000,000 up to Septem
ber, 1873. What has become of the
-cotton money ?: Why are not- our
farmers out of debt? Why .does the,
State through her planting interests
prevent such unenvitiug prospect?—
Why are the fanners still, calling upon
factors to help them make their crop
by advances, or the merchants to give
them twelve months credit-, and’ pay
ing heavy and. extraordinary interest
for the privilege of being credited?
Why the high price of bacon, corn,
hay, etc.? We answer, because the
farmer has not or will not- study the
first principles of true political econ
omy, viz: To make what lie knows
he is necessarily compelled to con
sume; yet, at the same time, exert ex
traordinary efforts to make big cotton
crops, thereby reducing the price of
cotton and paying big prices for pro
visions.
To-day the Georgia planter, if he
had not- allowed himself to be allured
by the iymis ft it is of getting a big
■price for his cotton, and. had paid
some attention to making tjoria? find
raising pork, would have been out of
debt, and the State made richer by at
least . $200,000,000 than it is to-day.
Shall the next seven years be as the
past, and the farmer grow no wiser by
experience? Will he persist in his
suicidal farming operations, buying
guano to make cotton, and paying
heavy interest to ‘ the factor and mer
chant for advances or credit? God
forbid. He is indeed a fool, who will
not learn, even in -the severe school of
experience. The theories of the far
mer, the nice calculations on paper,
the actual results, the undeniable
facts, and sad experiences all testify,
“with .proof as strong as holy writ,”
that it is»folly—extreme folly—for the
fanner to make all- cotton and bay his
provisions.
The first step to agricultural inde
pendence is for the farmer to have an
;q : l division of his land in cotton
andin grain, with an eye to a good
com crop for home consumption.—
Full corn cribs, fat mules and hogs,
will give a credit and stability to the
planter that will not ask for lien and
mortgages, or even ask for one. The
factor aud merchant would no longer
have to strain every resource they
have to extend aid to the farmer, am.

more than seven per cent, interest;

has yielded no revenue to the Spanish
Government. Many sugar plantations
belonging to insurgents -were seized
andenltivated by the Spanish authority
but by reason' of corruption and iu-
competeucy the revenues from this
source were very small. It is eliarged
and generally admitted that the affairs
of Cuba, as regards the collection aud
disbursement of revenues have been
outrageously corrupt.
In 1869 the Cuban revolutionists
ure understood to have had 50,000
men in the field at one time, but they
were very poorly armed. They were so
determined, however,: that-instances
were so frequent in battle where men
who were armed-simply with, the ma-
cliette (kaue-ktiife) burst-throngh the
lines regardless of their lives, in
friendly race with each other for the
arms and ammunition of dead Span
iards. Since the war commenced near
ly 40,000 Cubans, according to tlie re
cords, have been executed by. the
Spaniards. How many have been kilr
led in the battle is not ascertained for
want of a record. The Spaniards kill
ed in the battle and executed by the
revolutionists have amounted to about
75,000.’
..... The .volunteers, forming, the bulk of
the Spanish army in Cubs, have prov
ed utterly nncontrolable. It whs their
open mutiny that compelled the resig
nation of Captain-General Dnlce, and
it is nuderstood that they have dictat
ed the removal of several others. No
Gaptain-Gcuerarhas yet felt that his
life wa3 safe in the hands of his own
troops. The worst elements of Cuban
.society in the cities was drawn upon
for the volunteer force. The chief of
ficers, civil and military, areall drawn
from Spain, and are paid salaries
amounting to $50,000, g°kl> ® year-
for a captain-general, $12,000 a year
for a district commander, and so on.
These volunteers hate the Spanish
soldiers, but are more intensely bitter
against the Cubans. Thfey hate Amer
icans too. The Cuban patriots love
Americans. They say’they’hnve fought
four years and a half, and the way for
the United States to get even with
Spain now is to recognize the 'bellige
rent rights of the- Cubans. This, they
say, would enable them to negociate
tlwir bonds aud encourage privateer

seaport and every fort on the island.
Ail the Cubans want is a seaport, and
aud a gunboat to hold it with, so they
can protect their vessels in the act of

They laid out a cemetery in Mullers-
bnrg, Penn., a few months ago, writes
Max Adelerj and most of the citizen’s
purchased lots. As soon as everything
was ready, great anxiety was felt to
have the cemetery started right off
with alow interments. But nobody
died. ; Week- after week passed and
the town kept getting healthier and
healthier, until at last all the physi
cians in the place had a chance to
knock off and take a vacation. As soon
as they left town the sanitary condi
tion of the public became more
thoroughly good than ever. The people
were in despair. It seemed as if that
cemetery would never be iuangnrated.
In this crisis a woman came to the
front. Its was Mrs. Scndamore. She
was a widow who had five husbands,
and rather than have that cemetery
remain so lonely and desolate, she
dug up every one of those dead part
ners and planted them all afresh m
the new graveyard under a bine mar
ble monument surmounted with th ; e
familiar effigy of a sngar bowl with h
rag tied over the top- of it. It is a
comforting thing to feel that the com
munity can thus depend upon noble
and-self-sacrificing woman in hours of
deep despondency. She certainly is
heaven’s first best gift to man.
Jean Paul Richtek says: “To in

boys will preserve twelve girls, or two
girls ^twelve boys, innocent, amid
winks, jokes, and improprieties, mere
ly by that instinctive sense vhich is
the forerunner of matnred modesty.
But I will guarantee nothing in a
school where girls are alone together,
and still less where boys arc.”
Chicago wants to have the next
