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. New* fer goffering .W< t Mo*TMf r GA, Feb. tt, 1887, Mu. M. A.
