The extent of the damage to Western ran ges, occasioned by the recent snows, has Dever been thoroughly comprehended for tho reason that rauchinen havo been un willing to have their losses known. It has been claimed that few cattle have died, whereas, if recent reports are to be credited, the herds in many localities have been decimated. “It is the most fatal storm ever known in the West,” said Mi. George D. Ford, a prominent cattleman, who has just returned from a trip into the Panhandle. “That of leat winter wasn’t a circumstance to this one, though ranchmen had good cause to consider it a pretty severe one. I never saw anything like it. Along tbe drift fence north of the Canadian river dead cattle are strewn by thousands. An actual count in places shows 150 dead ani mals to tho mile. If this rate is kept Up the entire length of the fence, which is 200 miles, there are 30,000 dead cattle in this one place. They includo Colorado, Kansas and No Man's Land through cattle that have drifted down to the fence. Along the Arkansas river, west of Dodge City, the sitnation is as bad. The through cattle have drifted down from the Union Paciflo and have been frozen by thousands. The irrigating ditch north of the Arkansas river is f nil of carcases." “How widespread is the damage?” “it is coextensive with tho snow. In Wyoming, New Mexico and Texas the cattle are in good shape, but in Kansas, the western part ot the Indian Territory, and in Colorado, north of the Arkansas river, tho losses on through cattle have been frightful They will not fall short of 50 per oent., and in some ranohea southwest of Dodge City the losses on the natives will aggregate 25 per cent. I tell yon there never has been such a winter. Entire herds of through cattle have been wiped ont. A herd drifted down to Palodora creek in tho Panhandle and took shelter ander a bluff, around which runs a road. They died there, and the carcasses bad to bo dragged away before tho stage could pass. Around Dodge City cattle in sheds were frozen to death. Many of the smaller owners will be bankrupt when Bpring opens, and I know of some firms that were millionaires a few yeara ago that haven't any money to spare now.” “Will the price of cattle go up in con sequence of the losses?” “I am afraid not, and that's what makes the case so bad. There are lots of cattle in other parts ot the country, and Texas cat tle especially will affect prices. The Texas people are hard up, and the Kansas, Colo rado and Indian Territory men being unable to buy them, they will sell at any prices." The Japanese never stored ice till tho advent of foreigners, but now they are os fond of ice-watcr as anyone. They peddle it on tho streets in hot weather, and tho establishments of the wealthy are supplied with ice-houses. Advice to Mothers.

Terrible Affliction That Baffles Medical Skill. A Youngstown, Ohio, special says: For two years a little daughter of a poor blaok- amith has suffered with a terrible affiiotion which can only end in her death. The child, Hattie Stanley, is but eight years ot age. Her physicians pronounce it a new case, nnd are utterly nnnble to (loal with it. Sho is slowly bnt i-nrely being transformed into a mummy. In October, 1881, sho wnn attacked wilhlnfinmatory rheumatism. This left the heart weak, and tho blood refused to circulate to her finger tips. A gangrenous condition of these parts followed. The child complained ot an awful burning sen sation in the hands, as if the fingers had been held over a brazier. For five days she kept np a constant screaming and was only noted by largo doses of opium. The left loot was next attacked, and now she com- ilains of the right.

E. Guthrie, ad ministrator of the estate of the late J. Har vey Williamson, of Bethesda township, sold two hales of cotton on this market which was raised by slave labor on Mr. William, son's plantation in 1862, nearly a quarter of a century ago. Un account of the war there was no satisfactory market for cotton, and of the crop raised, that year Mr. Williamson stored several Imles under [his house until the times might improve. After the war had cml'id nnd Sherman's devastating march to the sen had sacked the country of its live stock. Mr. Williamson swapped three bales of the cotton with the late 1). R. 8. Blake for a mule. The balance w*e retained. Afterwards Mr. Williamson brought samples to Rock Mill and Mr. D. C. Roddey, who wsa then in basinets uer$, offered him 3d} cents per pound in gold for it, bnt the offer was rejected and the cotton still retained. At that time gold was at a premium of 60 per cent, hence Mr. Boddey's offer was equiva lent to fifty cents per pound in currency. Strangely enough, Mr. Williamson, in the face of this extraordinary price, determined to hold the cotton, and his death last fall found it still unsold. Why he kept it so long is a mystery that lies buried in the grave with urn. The cotton wsa packed before iron tics come into use and in the days when there was no roping to be had. Hickory writhes were used instead, and the original bind ings still hold the bales firmly together, and are in a good state of preservation. The lint is a* good as when the crop waa gathered in 1862 and classed middling. The cotton wsa bought by Messrs. W. L. Rod dey A Co., at 8J cents per pound. A re- inakkably circumstance is that on the day that the cotton was finally sold the price waa lower than it had boon sines it was grown. Beyond doubt, this is the oldest cotton in tho world. At any rate, it is certainly the only cotton in existence that wax raised by Southern stave labor and baled in the rude manner peculiar to the hard time* of the let* war. Where Matilda Drew tho Liao.
