The imlieatioiiR, hi the opinion of
the Pittsburgh WW, are very strong
that Prefcidetit (jtrant is going to so
sua pa the Cuban and Spanish ques
tion as to re-elect himself for a Third
Term, A foriigu war during the
Presidential canvass next 3"ear, or
even the immiuenee of a foreign war,
would furnish the 'imperative necessi
ty" that Grant speaks of for breaking
over the "two term" rule and setting
lip for an i ide3nite number of Presi
dential terms. We are at present fully ,
convinced that this is the object of
the Cuban policy now being foreshadowed.

and now owns some twenty thousand acres
of his present range, aud will undoubtedly
market. He now owns 2G,000 head of cat
tie, and will have this number after his
sales for tlie present year ate completed.
The number of calves branded this year on
his ranche will be from 4,500 to 5,000 heed,
I and his sales of three and four year old
steers nnc fat cows the present fall will
probably amount to about the same number.
Ho told me he expected to realize the sum
of $::! per head net on his sales this year.
At this i ate 4,500 head would bring him
the snug little sum of $148,500. To take
care of this immense herd lie employs from
twelve to thirty-five men very few usually
in the winter and the largest number dur
ing the "round ups" in the spring. At
the present time he has twenty-four men
employed and is cutting out of his herd the
four-year old steers and fat cows which he
intends to ship. While engaged at this
work the same, men are gathering the cows
with uubranded calves, which they put into
tho corrals near by, and after the calves are
branded they are turned loose with the
herd again. His herd is rapidly being
graded up by the introduction of thorough
bred Durham bulls. In addition to the
cattle raised on his ranche, he deals largely
in Texas and Indian cattle, and has now
advertised for 20, 0(H) head of Texas cattle
to bo delivered at his ranche in July of
next year. Mr. Iliff estimates the increase

Carroll. Democrat, is elected Gover

Virginia doubtless cbcted a Demo

in Beveral of tho States is above the

This is the case in all the Southern
States except Louisiana nnd Texas;
in all the Middle States except New
York ; and in Missouri and Kansas

with few exceptions, the avernges are
higher than utial of late years, after

lluitranft's majority in Philadelphia
is 17, '152. That city has a population
of about 780,000, and the registry lists
contained the names of 171,000 er
sons as legal electors; but no one who
is not a fool doubts that the lists cm
braced forty thousand illegal or ficti
tious names. Judge Ludlow, upon
whom was imposed the onerous task,
struck from only a portion of these
fradulent registry lists over licelce
thousand names, and if the work could
have been continued lonir cnouiih.
twenty thousand more would have dis

that Philadelphia, with more than two
bundled thousand less population than
New York, should have oa the regis
try lists almost thirty thousand more
qualified voters, the nutnlier in New
York at the late cloction being 144,

fradulent rotes in Philadelphia have
cheated the Democracy of the State
out of their candidate for Governor.

Mr. Gerrold, and that gentleman folt pret
ty certain that the dog had some idea of
where the child was, and new hope was in
spired in- the family, and they waited im
patiently for the dog's return. Finally he
' did return in about an hour, and exhibited
the same uneasiness that was remarked be
fore. After trying various ruses to attract
the farrily to follow him to the wood, he
finally started in that direction with more
than half of the resident. of the hamlet af
ter him. He led them through many
winding paths, until at last they reached a
chestnut grove, and there they found the
boy lying under a tree with his leg broken.
The boy himself told tlie facts of tlie case
to our reporter substantially as follows:
He was upon the tree, and shaking it with
all his might to shako off the nuts, and
lost his hold and tumbled down, his leg
striking the ground with force. He fainted,
and the first thing that met his gaze when
he became conscious, was the dog standing
over him. This was on Friday evening,
and the dog never left his side, but kept
baiking with all his might until Saturday
morning. The pangs of hunger the boy
felt pretty keenly at this time, aud he
made an attempt to reach some nuts that
lay on the ground a short distance from
him. When tlie dog observed this he
s orted off and returned in a short time

cent, per year, and about equally divided

Pine HlutVs and Julesburg on the Union
Pacific, and at Deer's Trail on the Kansas
Pacific. Lest any one should come to the
conclusion that this business is all profit
and that the expenses do not amount to
much, let me further state that Mr. IlifTs
policy is to keep his expenses as low as
possible, having the keeping and safety of
his cattle constantly in view. Last year I
thiukjthe expense of herding, &c, amount
ed to less than $15,000, and will amount to
a still less sum this year. But the losses
from thefts and death some years are
frightful. The winter of '71-2 1 "think was
very severe. There weic deep snows over
his range that remained on the giound
a long time, nnd the storms were incessant.
In the midst if these storms Mr. Iliff visited
his ranche and found his cattle literally
dying hy thousands. On tho island in the
South Platte River he found and drove off
into the sand hills on the south sido after
great exertion, some 2. 700 head, and of this
numberless than half have since been re
covered. Their bleaching bones now whi

were frozen and starved to death, and chose
that were recovered were found in two dif
ferent Stales and four different Teriitories
mi the Union. More than $24,000 were ex
pended in tiying to find them. Nor was
thin all. It was impossible to tell for a
number of years how much tho loss had
been. His books showed nearly five
thousand head unaccounted for. Nt) trace
of them beyond skeletons could be found,
and at last in the spring of 1874, I think
it was this number was charged to profit
and loss account, and the books balanced
for a new stait. This large number would
probably have averaged at least $20 per
head could they have been sold tho fall
previous and at. this rate they would have
amounted to $100,000. I estimate his
capital invested in the cattle business at
$ri0).f!00, and yet from its very nature bo
is liable to lose half of it dm ing the coming
season. Like other business ventures, if a

Sailors Eaten nr Cannibals. A year
ago last February, the bark Jewess, of Hos

direction of Auckland Islands, a group
which lies in the South Pacific ocean, near
New Zealand. A few days later, the ltos

Captain Brower of Biddcford, Me., of the
bark Marathon of New York, returning
ironi a voyage round the world, brought
back a terrible story in regard to thorn.
At one of the poits at w hich hi stopped he

knew him, who purported to be the sole

Tho vessels, he said, bad become W
calmed in the vicinity of the Auckland
Islands, and laid there together several
days. They were boarded at night by
cannibals, who came in -large numbers,
overpowered the crews, plundered the
shis and entiled them. Thi men were
carried prisoners to the shore and furnish
ed food for a horrible feast for their cap
tors. No particulars of the fighr, or of the
survivor's escape, were obtained, but the
facts are pretty well authenticated, and
the long absence of the vessels furnishes
good ground for believing that the story
may bo true.
The survivor was one of tho crew of the
Jewess, and be is said to have related that
tho surprise was complete, the vessels be
ing some distance from land, and no signs
of enemies having been seen.. The usual
precaution taken when a ship is becalmed
in the vicinity of land inhabited by sava
ges, is to drive sharp nails, placed closely
together, '.htough boards which are placed
over the deck and fastened firmly down,

estate, valued at over $1,000,000, for the
education and maintenance of female or

Several years ago there was a fashion
among Paris suicideis of jumping from

Baltimore. A few days afterward a woman
leaped f-om a church steeple in New Or

John King of Tennessee is very busy
asking questions abont what has taken
place during the last thirteen years. He
had a farm in Tennessee in 18G2, and the
soldiers of both armies made themselves

the Cumberland Mountains. A storm
threw down a rock, which closed tho mouth
of the cave. Therein be lived for thirteen
years, in the dark, eating from his produce
and drinking from a spring. The other
day a railroad company, blasting for a tun
nel, blasted him out.

a citizen of the place, and walked on a dis
tance of seven miles to Corry before day
light the next morning. The girl is now
working at a hotel in Warren."
