■ , • h den to be net with in the days of the wild horse, hut | lie was yet a kiiig among horses. Of the remainder of (he herd about 30 were line animals. The others would hardly he worth the catching. Three nr four were recognized as cavalry horses abandoned on tho march, and twice that number had collar marks to prove that they had stampeded from some im-
migrant train.
When clear of the pose, they formed iu line and advanced upon ns to within a quarter of a mile. We had 75 horses at the lariat pins, and for half an hour we had all we could do to prevent a stampede. The wild horses were finally driven down the valley by two mounted men, but they did not seem to have much fear of ns. On the contrary, the leader of the drove exhibited such temper that the men feared they would have to shoot him. It was an hour before our cavalry horses calmed down in the slightest. Every animal seemed enraged at the sight of the free herd, and the captain's Kentucky stallion acted as if possessed by a fiend. He had beeu doubly fastened at the beginning of the excitement, aud later on this proved a fortunate thing. He made the most tremendous efforts to get free, and when J at length he realized the futility of fnr- j flier efforts in that direction he uttered : shrill screams of rage ami lashed out 1 with his heels till no one dared approach him. All night long he stood on his feet pawing and snorting, aud the camp sentinels reported the wild horses as hanging about within half a mile of ns. Daylight hud come, aud the sentinels of tho night were coining into camp, when the wild horses rushed into view n mile below us. On the instant we discovered them, and while four-fifths of tho men were yet under their blankets the captain’s horse uttered a scream which ninst have been taken us a sig uul. He reared up, shook his head like an angry lion and fn ! himself of his halter. In the same in, mt every other horse in the oomnn id s enred hit liberty. Some pulled np the pins, some worked their heads clear of the straps, aud away went tiie whole drove down the valley. It was not a stampede, as wo naturally feared. Even had onr animals desired to join the ranks of the | free they wonld have been rebuffed. Onr horses were bunched, and in a solid hunch they drove right through the lines of the wild horses and left four of them lying crippled on the grass as they passed. The prairie drove retreated up the valley half a mile and then wheeled about in a single line. When onr drove halted and turned, there was a distance of three-qnarters of a mile between the combatants. We were ordered to fall iu, with a view of advancing upon the wild horses and driving them off, but before we had gotten into line it
was too late.
The sight was a wonderful one. The two leaders advanced as if they meant to decide the issue by it fight between them, but when within 40 yards of each other they wheeled and returned to their respective lines. Then wo witnessed something which only a cavalryman will credit. Our horses fell into a double line and dressed to the right ns perfectly as if a trooper had occnpied each saddle, and while we looked tho lines suddenly moved forward on a charge. When they swept past us, the alignment was absolutely perfect, witli the captain's horse on the right and leading by about 20 feet. The line of wild horses bent and wavered, but did not break until struck. It was like striking a drumhead with a sledge hammer. I believe that fully 40 horses went down under the shock, but all except four were speedily on their feet again. From tliis on it was a melee, the whole drove circling aronnd, and each horse luting ami kicking and displaying sncli ferocity ns to astonish us. The mob fought past ns down the valley and back, and right in front of tho camp the climax came. The battle had beeu raging half an hour, when the spotted stallion hobbled out of it on three legs and blooding fioru half a dozen wounds, and that seemed to take the pluck out of his followers. Some ran np the valley And some down, but of the 83 only b7 got away. When the hottest of it was over, we dashed in and secured a horse here and there, ami in this manner we finally got hold of the last one, which was the captain's. Of tilt' 70 only 0 had escaped scot free. Every one of the others had been bitten and kicked, and 12 of them were so crippled as to be worthless. * lit almost every instance our horses had kicked off both hind shoes, and in some cases the front ones were gone as welk There were 7 dead aud 30 crippled horses on that battlefield when hostilities ceased, and of tho 57 wild horses which made their escajie many were limping badly. Before breaking camp we turned to and put an end to the sufferings of the cripples, and we were not yet in the saddle when a hundred buzzards and a dozen wolves were feasting on the bodies.—Detroit Free Press.
flow Travrlfi-H In tlio Ozark Country Cross the White Itiver. The navigators of the White river have no quarrel with the bridge builders. From Newport, below Batesville, for 200 miles, not a pier profanes the channel. Transportation from side to side is by ferry. There is a crossing every mile or two. Quaint and primitive some of the methods are. Most of the ferryboats are small, flat bottomed craft, w ithout railings on the sides or gates at the ends. At a few of the most frequented north and south road* a cable has beeu stretched from the tree tops high enough to escape the steamboat chimneys. The boat is attached by ropes, bow and stein, to a pulley running on this cable. When one line is | lengthened to give the boat an angling direction with the stream, the current I slowly carries the load over to the op- I posite bank. Snelt a labor saving appli- ' auee, however, is in use very sparingly. I Most of the ferrying is done by hand with the pole and : v eep. As the Ozark country traveler ; ■■ naches within hailing distance of t > bank he begins to lot his voice out with: “O-o-ov-er 1” In tho course of time there is an answering : “ Whoop-ee 1" The ferryman comes slowly down the bank, with his brother, or bis son, or with somebody else’s son whom he has persuaded it is great fun to help run a ferryboat. Travelers in the Ozark conntry have often commented on the disproportionate frequency with which the boat is at the bank opposite to that approached. Awl ferrymen all agree that by a strange perversity the travel is from the direction necessitating a trip across and back to collect one fare. There is time enough to meditate on this problem while the ferryman slowly poles his frail craft along the bank for some distance up stream. Then, as he grasps the sweep and pulls out for the other side with much putting and perspiration, there is not time to think of anything else but the inch of pine between dry shoo leather and a current which means a long, hard swim if the boat goes amiss. Accidents are very few. Tho White river ferryman knows his business aud earns his quarter. ‘‘George," said Mr. Webber to the Harvey who was directing the course of the boat, “is that your brother helping you with the boat?” “Yes,” said George, "he’s my brother. ’’ “He resembles you,"commented Mr. Webber, “but I think he’s rather better looking than yon are. ’’ “That’s becanse he's woller fed," said George. “His wife’s a good cook. ” —Chicago Journal

No Faith In the Intttrninent. One of the first things the observant trained nurse does when a new patient enters the hospital and is put in bed is to place a delicately constructed thermometer under the sick one’s tongue and get the temperature. A chambermaid from one of the down town hotels was taken to one of the city hospitals not long ago, and the above describer operation was performed 4»t once. “What in the wurrnld are yez doing that for?” she asked after the nurse got through. “I’m merely taking your temperature,” responded the maid with the muslin cap. “Rats!" said the occupant of the sick conch. “How are yez going to tell by that little thing whether I’ve got a temper or not?’’—Washington Star.

Typhoid Favor. Typhoid it now admitted by all sclentlsta to be caused by a venom mlcrobo that swarms by the million in the tissues Of the small Intestines, producing fever, delirium, extreme prostration, putfifactiou and death. The medical profession has earnestly sought a reliable antidote for this mortal plague aud found none. Hence it is a bold, an almost startling claim, (a claim never before dared to be made for any remedy,) that Brazilian Balm, alone, will positively cure Typhoid
TYrilOlD BACILLUS. Fever in any stage. This great discovery was the result of a woman’s faith. Mi a. L. B. Bradway, of Wilmington, Del., believed the Balm would do almost anything. Hence she gave it in 6 drop dobes, every three to five minutes, to a yqnng lady iu tho last stage of Typhoid, the had been given up by the doctor, Y,ho said she could not live half an hour. To me surprise of all she quickly revived and recovered. Since then it baa been used by laymen, nurses and physician* with uniform success. How it cures was then a mystery; but it is row fully settled that it promptly destroys every Typhoid bacillus in the system. It staunches the hemorrhage, heals the whole alimentary track, and, instead of the slow, tedious convalescence, restores to health and strength v.’ith surprising rapidity. In short, it fills every condition of a perfect antidote for TyphoiJ. Treatment: Give 10 drops cv:ry 15 minutes while the fever rages, aud once an hour wheu the fever is off, and give nothing else. During convalescence give 3 or 4 times a day. To •revent Typhoid give every hour.
