THE WHEAT HONE HARVEST.
Slaa?hter4fc the Monarch* of live rthln

—•Hide lldntcrs and Meat Jerkers.
The extent of the aollection, assort 1 *
sale of she skeletons of d#-
fanoßufihloes on the plains is ♦aurpria
iq£. During the season hundreds of
men ng*S® in th o husinees and *ll the
stations on the Kansas Pacific and
Atchr yn, and Topeka Und Santa Fo
railroi?ls hare bone-middleman, so-calU

plentifully lettered over the p!ains,and
half a Jo2en,or dozen,or mbre,
wrJOQs. go in aearch ef them and
Hwing them into ilia Btition3 for ship
ment. It if #aii that •incite drat of
u* mouth -from ten to twenty tons of
"buffalo bo non have been chipped over
the atatve named lines every day.
The bonoa are and 'Jvered at the
railway stations, an average of #3 a ton.
Tie bulk of them is sold for fertillicing
purposes *n the soil-enfeebled districts of
Mie eastern and middle States, Philadel
phia being the principal point of con
signment- Oertoin portions of the buf
falo ckeletons however, ace adapted to
nobler use thin the invigeration of
worn-out earth, and are sold at a hand
aouie price to the manufacturers of but
tons, combs, knife handles. At al*
toost every railroad are great piles
of theße queer remains of the bounding
bison awaitinf shipment; and the vari
ations of the value of bones are more in
terest to the people than the fluctuations
of the gßaiar market. In assorting for
market, strange discoveries are some
times made. It is no uncommon thing,
for instance, to find Indian skulls, legrs,
and arms ; and iu some instances the
skulls tfod vertebrae of women and chil
dren have been picked up. These lat-
usually tossed aside iu a rude
sortjof reverence for Ike helpless and in
nocent ; but no suah respect is paid to
Uie booesof the Indian. An Indian
•kuli is said to be worth a dollar andw
quarter for couibA and the Indian thigh
makes knife-handies that are beautiful
to behold.
MERCILESS BUTCHERY.
Ilide hunters along the Kansas and
Pacific are oven more numerous than
the bone pickers, and their trqde is
much more exciting and hazardous.—
They usually Mow in the wake of buf
falo hunting 'ikpedftions and roving
bauds of Indian “meat jerkeis.” The
Indians who kill the buffalo take only a
small portion of the animal, and the
white men Who slay them for sport rare
ly touch them with a knife ; so that the
hide hunter who goes after is usually
sure of*his spoil, as the hide remains in
good ordeaofor removal nearly a week
after the the wolves keep away.
Whfn hides are not to be had fast
euofigh or with personal safety in this
way, the hide hunters project little
raida of their owj out into the buffalo
rfeges, killing the animals simply for
thfeir hides, and leaving meat to de
or selling it at a normal rate to ac
companying parties of dealers. The hides
ore mnned and drassed by a much more
rapid, but less perfect and effective,
process than that followed by the Indi
ans, and only the hides of animals killed
in cold wefethor make really valuable
robes.
In a little more than three months
over 50,000 of th#e hides were shipped
from the stations on the western divis
ion of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Railroad, and it is estimated that
tbe shipments for thiw year over that
road and the Kansas' Pacific will aggre
gate 125,000. As each hide represents
a slain buffalo, these figures eonvey a
rare, though not a full idea of the mag
nificent butchery which has been going
on among these “monarchs of the plains.”
The bidedwfter being dressed, are roll
ed up in as small a compass as possible,
and (p the large Eastern cities,
where they are subjected to a process of
recleaning and drying, and put into
market for sal 1 . The original purveyor
of the hides gets about as much for them
as the New Mngland or New York far
mers receive for the hides of his cattle;
but the profit to tbe Eastern dealer, as
can seen at a glance, is considerable.
Attempts have been made from time to
time to convert the buffalo hide into
leather, but without much success; and
it probably has no great value except
for. use as a robe.
BUFFALO MEAT.
But of still greatei: importance than
btyic-picking or liide-huniing, is the
tfms9 in buffalo meat. It has employed
diWiug the last year or two an amount
of labor and capital that would seem iu
eredible to a person unacquainted with
the factA The meat market opens in
NoyemvlY when the weather becomes
000 l enough for its transportation, und
continues until the Ist of April. Du
ring these five months as much as
2,000,00 ft pounds are shipped from the
stations on tbe Kansas Pacific to ail
parte of the country. In the winter
mofcthsa bufmlo steak can be obtained
as cattily and almost as cheaply in the
batchers' stalls of the leading northern
cities as a beefsteak or mutton chop,
and iu Colorado and Kansas it is as
common as antelope. When buffaloes
are killed for the meat, only the hams
and shudders are brought in and ship
ments are usually made in that shape,
the hide nearly always being left on to
the emf of the The leading
markets for buffalo meat “ in the rough”
are Chiougo, and Indianapo
lis, whence it is reshipped, in cleaner
and more artistic condition, to cities of
the seaboard. At Kansas City, too.
lurge quantities ara. cured and packed
for Eastern use, and some successful ex
periments have been made in shipping
direct to New York and Philadelphia’
ru refrigerator cars. The price n the
towns along the middle and ea tern di
visions of the Kansas Pacific r nges
from $.50 to 880 per ton in bulk, and
hfewJ r4O at six to eigh
cents per pound. The settlors adjacent
to the stamping gfound of the buffalo
procure meat enough.in a day’s hunting
to last them through the winter; and
many a poor homesteader in the valley
of the Arkansas has kept the wolf from
the door on this article of diet for
months at a time. The flesh of the buf
falo is not such as gods would delight to
feed nor wduld poets find it par
ticularly conducive to the cultivation of
sweet and tender imagery. It is very
nutritious, however.— Rocky Mountain
News.
Senator hi onion.
The correspondent of the Albany (N.
Y.) Evening Times, writing from Wash
ington city, speaks of an interview with
Hon. A. 11. Stephens, in the course of
which that distinguished Georgian paid
i deserved compliment to Senator Gor
don. The writer fays :
Alexander H. Stephens is at the Na
tional Hotel for the session. Though
not in,the flourishing condition which
Georgia papers have recorded, and not
iu butter health than for the left twen
ty years, yet better then he has been
for the last five years, with tho excep
tion that lameneea from rheuma
tism still continue* ( Truly his recove-,
ry must seem perfectly* wonderfur to
those who saw him carried away from
hare last session, as they confidently be
lieved to hia last home, and who had
not had previous experience of the re
cuperative powers and intense vitality of
his fragihe frame. Speaking of the ab
surd way in which some of the Republi
can papers continue there attempts to
fire the Norfhern heart by quoting the
nonsensical violence occasionally pub
lished in some obscure paper or uttered
by some irresponsible and half
erased individual, as a specimen of
Southern sentiment, the conciliatory ad
dress of Senator Gordon was mentioned.
Mr. Stephens remarked that “the quo
tation made from it in the Northern
press, tavorable as had been the impres
sion they produoed, did not do justice
to it, the best parts of it having been
left out. It was by far the most able
and eloquent speech that he (Mr. Ste
phens) had heard or read on the sub
ject ; it was admirable.”
This is no mean praise for one so
measured in bis expressions and of so
much experience and judgement, in
sfich matters as Mr. Stephens, and sug
gests that the almost sudden advent in
to political life of Senator Gordon prob
ably indicates the appearance on this
arena of oue called ou in the future to
play an important part in the national
affairs.
To find this man, though a highly
distinguished soldier, looming up as an
orator, displaying not only eloquence
but the far-seeing practical sagacity of
the statesman, infers a large scope and
versatility of mind which augurs auspi
ciously for the future.
A Nw nnd novel religious belief
probably an outgrowth of the spiritual
istic idea of materialization, is gaining
converts in the nofthern counties of
Ohio. It involves, too, an elaborate
principle of metempsychosis. An out
line of its teachings is as follows: The
toul is immortal, begining with the orig
inal creation of the universe and lasting
forever. In the course of its existenee
it occupies a varied succession of bod
dies on earth. When disembodied by
the death of its corporal form, it hovers
an unseen power in the air until, by a
subtle process of materialization,it form
for itself anew infantile body. This
body it builds up by what we regard as
the Datural process of growth, and occu
pies it until death again frees it, when
the same thing takes place again. While
disembodied, the soul understands this
scheme of existence, but when clothed
in a form of flesh it loses the knowledge,
except in those vague glimpses which
people are supposed to have at times of
some previous and different condition.
The followers of the new religion call
themselves Eternalists, and their num
ber is increasing rapidly. They believe
that sOuls may advance or depreciaterin
attainment, rising high enough to tske
on the forms of men great in some par
ticular, or falling low enough to animate
drunkards, criminals, savages, or even
animals. They do not believe the
ble or the Christian scheme of salvation;
but they teach culture and morality as
means of development for the soul, and
as a training for a higher form of organ
ization when the soul shall next matiri
alize an earthly body.

Mr. Greeley’s Daughters. —lt is
now nearly two years since the death of
Mr. Horace Greeley, and this season,
for the first time gin ce that event, his
daughters—lda and Gabrielle—occa
sionally make their appearance in pub
lic. Gabrielle is still very young, ptob
ably not more than eighteen, but Ins
grown during her years of seclusion in
to a tall and very beautiful girl. Roth
have exquisite complexions, lovely eyes,
ripe, scarlet lips, and sweet, childlike
expression which distinguished their
father. Ida is the most like her fath
er, however, in appearance, and Gabri
elle like her mother. Evidently tbe
most devoted affection exists between
the two girls. Ida, the elder, looks af
ter her sister lovingly, andsays, “Hasn’t
she grown tall and pretty ? ” And Ga
brielle remarks, “ Don’t you think I
begin to look more like Ida ? ” Their
manners are very charming, perfectly
simple, easy, and unaffected, yet with a
flue air of good breeding, and even dis
tinction, of which they are apparently,
quite unaware. — N. Y. Letter.
A New Civil Rights Bill. — Wash
ington, Dec. Id.—The House Commit
tee on the judiciary to-day agreed upon
a supplementary civil rights bill, taking
that which last year passed the Sen
ate and now pending in the House
as the foundation for it. The only al
teration made are the omission of ceme
teries and the insertion of a provision
for separate schools for the whites and
blacks, with equipments and provisions
for the instructions In all—respects
equal. The appropriation of the school
fund to be pro rata hetwj*en the races.
The penalties for violating tbe law in
stead ofbeing culminative are made .eith
er civil or criminal The chairman of
thy committee has been instructed to re- i
. r
port the bill as a tubstitute for the Sen
ate bill, with the understanding that
Mr. White, of the committee, shall offer
his bill as asubstilme. The latter does
not prohibit,separate accomodations in
schools, railroads, inns, &c., for the two
races, provided the accommo
dations are of eqmd equipment and
kind.
—
Tne Piano Form.-—The different
merits of the grand and square instru
ment arc discussed in this wise by the
Rural New Yorker :‘‘We spentsome little
time lately in examining the grand and
square grand pianos recently produced.
The grand piano, powerful and sweet as
its tone is, and, therefore, a desirable in
strument, is not pleasing in outline, and
takes up much room in the parlor. A
square piano, if it can be had without
too much sacrifice of dlsentials, looks
better and is more apnvenient. The
Waters’ square grand ri, so far as eye
&id ear could determine, just the thing
deeded. The tone is remarkably even,
the treble being brilliant without metal
lic ring, the base (overstrung) sonorous,
and entirely free frem the muffle tone
so frequently observable in new pianos.
Tho sustained, singiug tone was exceed
ingly well developed. The power,
ness, purity and evenness of the torn 1
were perfectly satisfactory.”— N. Y.
