OREGON WILD CATTLE.
I the Top
•C ite Cmpqu* HoMtaino.
"California sportracn out now go tip
to Oregon oftd ohoot wild cattle." said
John Day, an Umpqua mountain ptoocor,
'referring to tho completion of the railroad.
“It la o feet that timro are hundreda of
wild cattle in tbe high hilb skirting tbs
’ Umpqua Talley, arxl some at them ire
not more than a couple of mike from the
railroad track: Sam oaf these cattle, too,
are SB years old or more. InthJmoun*
tains near Riddles and Rosebud they ore
probably the thickest, but they do not
venture down in the volley much. They
stay in the tops of tbe bills and get water
from the living springs which rise there.
For the most part they are concealed in
tire dense growth at aide and fir in Sheas
mountains. There is heavy underbush,
too, eo that it is a bard matter to get on
to them. They go in bands of six or
eight usually, but at night a herd of forty
or fifty get together and lie down in the
some yard—that is, they sleep on the
same spot, which is usually* a secluded
place among the trees. A-band of wild
cattle have been known to get together
on a cleared placo like this every night
for a couple of years.
“WJien feeding there are always a few
bulls to act os sentinels. While the cat
tle graze in bands of half a dozen or so,
they are nevertheless close to other bands,
so that at any alarm from any one of the
bulls, which leisurely feed on higher
ground, they oil run away together.
“The cattle are of all colors and wilder
than deer. It is a hard matter to get-a
shot at'them for the reason (hat their
scent is so keen. They can smell a man
a long distanco off. They got wild in
1853 when the old man Riddles and two
or threo others of the first settlers camo
to the valley. Their cows wandered off
and could' not be found. After two or
three years, all the pioneers hod to do
when they wanted beef was to rig out
two or threo pack animals and go up into
the mountains. The cattle hod to bo
killed on sight the same as deer or bear,
for they could no more be driven down
than deer could. Once killed they were
quartered, packed on the horses, and car
ried down. They have been .hunted a
good deal of late years, so that there, ore
not as many as there used to be.
< ‘Some of the cattle are very large Bnd
fat. I have caught glimpses of bulls in
the top of tho Umpqua bills that aston
ished me. A bull I saw in the fall of
’78 on the head of the Rogue river I am
certain would weigh 1,400 pounds.
There is good grazing in the mountains
all the year round. A peculiarity about
theso cattle is that their eyes and horns
are jet black. Tho rctinn, iris and tho
whole apple of tho eye are one mass of
black. You can’t distinguish any diffep-'
ence in any part of it. The horns, too,
while being black os ink, are long and
very sharp. Brought to bay, the Oregon
wild cattle are very wicked fighters. ’ ’—
San Francisco Examiner.
Old Times in Louisiana.
4 Those “society balls” were conducted
with great propriety and reserve. The
claim of every person of both sexes to be
admitted having been previously deter
mined by the responsible and trusty com
mittee, there wps a sort of temporary
and conventional equality on tho terp-
. sichorean floor, and, therefore, every gen
tleman had the privilege to invite a lady
without the formality of an introduction
to figure ■ in the dance as his partner.
After it was over ho escorted her back
, respectfully to her seat, without presum
ing, if unknown and not duly presented,
» to remain standing before her, or to sit
by her side, to continue the conversation
or prolong the accidental acquaintance.
During the intervals of dancing the
gentlemen walked up and down between
the rows of ladies that densely lined tho
hall, some merely bowing os they passed
to those whom they knew and others
stopping to converse. No woman, mar
ried or single, joined in this promenading
with a male companion, as is tho custom
in theso present days, and tho eye of a
lynx could not have detected the slight
est flirtation. The .word itself was not
known, for the thing it means is for
Louisiana a modem invention, which
had not then been patented and brought
out for public use. In fact, tills peculiar
pastime would have been impossible to
attempt. It would have produced a so
cial earthquake.—American Magazine.
The Color of the Sen.
Artists always seem at a loss to deal
with the color of 1 tho sea, and fow are
those who please the public. Professor
Tyndall has come to their aid. He recog
nizes three principal hues in sea waves—
. blue, green and yellow. Solid [articles
held in the water' act as minuto mirrors
reflecting the light which penetrates tho
liquid. The rays which are sent out,
after having traversed only a thin
stratum of water, preserve their yellow
parts; but if the reflections are attenu
ated the water appears green; and if they
do not exist at all, the sea being clear
and free from muddy matters, the color
is deep blue. In on indigo sea the crest
of tho waves will appear green on ac
count of their lack of thickness. Sea
weed, animalcules and other local or ac
cidental causes may* have much ipflu-
er.ee on tho color of the water.—Court
fyumel.
