HERDS OF WILD HORSES.
Fleet Creatures of the Plains Said to be
Enticing Domestic Animals Array*
From tho Chcycnno Lender.
Tbo herds of wild horses northeast of Chcycnno
havo got to bo very troublesome lately. Tho
wild animals entice away the tame ones la con
siderable numbers. Tho loss sustained by vari
ous horse-breeders bos at last become so large
that somo measures must bo adopted to reclaim
them and also to prevent further loss, If possible.
From tbo borre ranch of Hon. M. K. Post, situated
about fifteen miles northward of tho city, nearly
two hundred marcs havo wandered away, and of
that number it is thought fully one hundred Is
now with tho wild horse*. Other horsc-ralsors

leave for northeastern Wyoming. Thoy will go
with long-rango rifles and will carry a large
supply of forage, so that their horses may
be well fed daring the winter. Tho rat is easy.
Mounted upon their grain-fed animnls, the bunt-
eis will pursue the wild bands when they aro
somewhat weakened by the rigors of winter.
Riding a* c lose ns possible, tho hunters wltfthen

the stallions will be killed and tho capture of tho

Cleveland!# rises Outlined, Zee.
Wasihnoton, December 7.???Senator Lamar
arrived in tho city yesterday, having been de
tained at his home by sickness. A represent
ative of tho associated press called on him to
day, with a view to obtaining an expression
of his views concerning the policy of the in
coming administration. In reply tho senator
said, in substance:
"I thind it duo to the presidont-olect that
the democratic party and tho country should
await with patience and cohfidenco the ap
pearance of his inaugural address and first
message, for in' those alone,
think, will be found foreshadowed
policy of his administration. Any expression
of opinion) meantime, can only ho of the most
f ;enerftl character, based upon tho well known
raditions of democratic government, and
upon Governor Cleveland's official courso
hitherto, which, alter wide publicity and dis
cussion, has been approved by tho people.
So far as I may honestly ven
ture to express an opinion, I should
say that Mr. Cleveland, as president
will undoubtedly favor n scrupulous, butnot,l
think, a parsimonious economy in tho conduct
of tho government, and will insist upon tho
most rigid honesty and accountability
tho port of public officials."
THE TARIFF NtORAniLlTfES.
In roply to a question as to tho probable ac
tion of congress with regard to the tariff, Sen
ator Lnmor said It was highly improbable
tbnt any action would bo taken on tho tariff at
this session. At tho noxt session, however,
thoro would be proposed by the democrats
snch a scheme of reduction as need cause no
uneasiness whatever in tho business commu
nity. Ho believed it would be wiso for tho
manufacturers of the country to comproiniso
witty tho tariff reformers, and
the tariff refonnors with the
manufacturers, upon tho reduction
of duties to & revenue standard, with such
discriminations in the arrangement ot tho do-
tails within that limit as to afiord ample pro
tection to American industries. Rovonuo re
form and manufacturing prosperity ought
not to be antagonistic forces. ???We aro now,"
said the senator,???the foremost manufacturing
nation in tho world. Our industrial system
Is eo vast and so intimatoly blended with our
wholo social structure, that tho representatives
ol tho pcojdo may surely bo trusted to sco
that no industry shall suffer a shock by reason
of legislation."
CLXVkLASn IN THE SOUTH.
Tho senator was asked: ???How is tho olcc
tion of Cloveland regarded in tbo south, with
relation to its probablo effect on that section?"
???I cannot," said he, "make a better answer
to that question, than to refor you to General
Gordon???s letter, recently published. It speaks
the sentiment of tho wholo southern people,
especially in its disclaimer of any purpose oi
sectional aggrandizement. Tn my opinion,
tho election will havo tho most decisive
effect in bringing tho south into hearty
and cordial relations with tho noith. Tho
southern people do not regard tho election as
a triumph ortheir section, or of any section
They simply regard it as indicating the
triumph, in tho nation, of tho princi(rics o
tood government. Out of nearly flvo mil
ion votes cast for Mr. Cloveland, more ihtn
three million wero cast by the pcoplo of tho
north. Under his administration, therefore, tho
preponderance of political forces will continuo
to l>e northern. The south simply recognizes
in tho result of the election, tho placing in
>6wcr, for the first timo siuco
ho war, of an administration not
hostile to her; ono under which her pooplo can
heartily support and corporate with tho na
tional government, thus bringing her highest
interests into more domploto identification
with those of the nation and tho foclings of
her poople info tho intenser sympathy with
thofe of their northern brethren. To rnako
that administration one of which tho wholo
American people may bo proud, the people of
tho south will contribute every cnorgy ol hoad
and heart." -
The senator declined absolutely to bo inter
rogated on the subject of Mr. Cleveland???s cab
inct.

Cations Do'.-ills of His Career In Ireland???
nis Shocking Dentil.
Shnndou Lee, fn New York Sun.
A recent query iu tho 6un as to the first name of
tbe notorious Irish giant, Hepcnsttll???not Hemp-
cnstall- shows your correspondent to be very much
mixed os to the real facts concerning an important,
though little known, character in Irish history.
Authentic and mrememoribllla of tho Irish rebel
lion of 1793 In my possession enable mo to fumfoh
facts that not only definitely settle t ho matter, but
nrakciutercotiDg reading, even at this Into day.
Ills prauomcn was neither John nor Mark, but
Edward. Under date of September is, 1800, Mr
Higgins records in his journal: :
Died, on. Thursday uigbt.ut A dropsical com
plaint, Lieutenant Kdward Hcpcnstall, of tho
Sixty-eighth regiment, some time back officer In
tho Wicklow militia.
Then follow???s a tribute to the worth of the dead
giant???s ???realous aud loyal teivlccs iu tho late re
bellion."
His grave In tho churchyard of St. Audrey's,
Dublin, is still uninscribed, though It w<*s ouco
suggctUd by Dr. Barrett that this epitaph might
be written in the two lines:
!
i
Hepcnsttll, who is referred to by Sir Jotrah Bar
rington as ???Lieutenant H???, the walking cal
lows,??? was thn* described In the Irish Maga/.luo (ol
Dublln/iu 1810:
"This notorious officer was a (iollah in stature,
and a Nero in feeling. When JlcpeuitaU met a
peasant who could not give a satisfactory accouut
of liimEclf, ho knocked tho poor follow down with
a blow from his fist, which was quito os effectual
a* a sledgehammer, and then, adjusting tho nooso
around tho man???# neck, drow tho rope over his
own shoulders aud trotted along, tbo
victim???s legs dangling in the air aud his
tohguo protruding until death at last ended tho
torture. These details, incrediblo as they may
now seem, are authenticated by several witnesses,
and wero admitted by Hcpcnstall himself on tho
trial of Hyland, when Lord Norbury complimen
ted the giant on having dono no act which was not
crtditable to him as a zealous, loyal and efficient
officer.
A portrait of Ilepcnstall, iu tho magazine, shows
that ho possessed a faco the handsomo conforma
tion and seraphic expression ot which present a
puzzlo to tho disciples of Lavater.
An artlclo In tho Dublin Press of January 11,
17W, speaks of IfcpcnitaU as well known by tho
sobriquet of "Tho Walking Gallows."
According to Dr. Cox, this carious functionary
did not long enjoy tho period of roposo and offi
cial favor that succeeded tho outbreak of ???W,
In 1800 ho became affiictcd with morbus podicu-
larif, ono of tho most iiorrlbio diseases that tho
imagination can conceive; hi* body was literally
devoured by vermin, and after tweuty-ono days of
suffering he died in great agony.
