The state may be divided, topographically, into three sections. The northern third Is for the most part me noienously level; the middle section Is a high and gently relllucr table land, of wonderful fertility, settlcd originally by the best eople of the mlJdJe and border states, and new occupied by a class un surpassed In the world for general Intelli gence and moral vigor. Farther south the table laud breaks down rapidly te the deep depression in which the Ohie flews; and as the southern border of the glacial drift Is nearly along the parallel of Vin. cennes, the southern counties present a sudden change of formation. Un polished rocks project sharply from rugged hills ana wild hollows . wind tortuously between "knobs" or cut the hlghlovel Inte narrow strips of table land, "or these reasons that sec tion presents the two extremes of Ameri can society. A large section of geed country, occupied by a first class popula tion, Is often In the same township with a "flat creek" or "dry run" neighborhood of leg cabins and Illicit stills, rocks, fist fights and Ignorance The wonderful progress of the state after 1850 sharpened this contrast and created a natural antagonism botween these classes. Tlie divisions of the war period heightened it, and for a few yours after the war there was a great deal of crime The wild hollows wero from the first settlement naturally Infested by reck less and bleed stained men. At length, in 1869, the better class of citizens, do de spalrlng of the law, organized In a, spirit of wild justlce, and hanged, whipped and banished till the moral atmosphere was greatly purified. In one town and near vicinity -cloven men wero hanged in a few 'weeks. It has since been a model town. Then happened that which always does happen when the law h set aside. One class wanted te go fnitlicr and the ether wanted te step. Se the secret organiza tion degenerated Inte u mere mob, and' was made the Instrument of prlvate ven geance. The whele history of popular movements toward violence abounds In such lessens. The men n he orgaulze the revolution are nearly always hurled from power befere it runs its course. In 1870, '60 and '81 the "vigilantes" were roerganbed for a special emergency, as the new railroads were bringing In a new class of criminals. Twe or three men were hanged, several whipped and many mero "warned out." There was a lull for a few years, and then the "White Caps" took up the work of purifying society. With eatrlght criminals they have llttle concern, eh the law Is new sufficient for that; their mission la te attend te morals and Industry. Men who neglect or abuse their families, young fellows who insult women, "loafers" who "llve en their fam ilies" as the phrase Is, notoriously loeso women and their male friends these are the objects of the "Whits Caps'" atten tion. The town of Kngllsh, In Crawford county, was the "storm center" of ene of the latest merul hurricanes. About mid night a large ferce appeared lathe streets, the men with blackened faces and tall whlte caps, llke the old "dunce cap," but no ether uniform. Each carried a revol ver and a llttle tough switch of hickory or water beech, or ether geed timber for the purpose And this ferce, acting under the orders of a captain, In Ue visits whipped five men and ene woman.

On anetiicr evening they vis ited the cabin of a widow Jenes and took her three boys, Jehn, Stevo and Duck, te the weeds, where twy gave them fifty lashes each and warned them te go te work "and step sponging en their oer old mother." The modicme operated llke a charm. The three boys are reported te be working like geed fellows and treat ing their mother with a politeness that gladdens her old heart. y.!

Only twice have they acted as If they meant te hang; but in both cases the accused escaped. Anether man who expected a visit from the regulators slept out In the weeds for four months.

It was the time of the Granger movement, and Mr. Streeter Joined the Grangers.

TOIL who for many years has been engaged In cattle raising In Texas, and the Indian territory! remarked te a reporter the ether day: "In the early days of the cattle business in Texas, from 1887 te 16C0, the ranges were overrun by bands of wild horses. These animals were a great nuisance, as they would get mixed with our loose horses and run them off when any one approached. As a rule they were a rough, ill shaped set of beasts, and almost untamable, se that few attempts were ever made te catch them, it being considered best te sheet them en sight bus tret rid of a disturbing InHuonce In our horse herds. Sometimes, however, a really fine animal would be seen and the ranchmen would try hard te secure It Dut the ordinary mode of capture, lasso ing, could seldom be used against wild horses, and these beasts were vary shy, ind even a peer horse, carrying no weight, could outstrip a very flne animal with a man en his back. I have chased wild horses 100 times and have become thor oughly convinced of UA truth of the English racing saying tliat the weight of a stable, key will win or iose a race. KOVKL METHOD OF CArTUIll "In this extremity the Texans used te resort te a means of capturing the hereea which Is, I believe, exclusively Amerlcan It was discovered, 1 de net knew hew, that a blew upon a particular sinew lu a horse's neck, located JuBt abeve where the spine Joins the skulL would paralyze the animal temporarily without doing It any permanent Injury. In these days the Texans were nearly without exception Due shots, and at short range could send a rifle ball with phenomenal accuracy. The horses could net be approached ox ex ox cept en feet, and It was impossible te catch them en horseback. But, net te be overcome by any such difficulties, the cowboys discovered a way te capture them. Tailing his rifle, a hunter would crawl through the thick chaparral until within fifty or sixty yards of the herse he desired te secure. Then, taking careful aim, he would endeavor te send a bullet through the top of the node se as te strike the sinew. When this was properly done the herse would fall as If struck by light nlug and remain Insensible for ten or flf flf teen minutes, recovering completely in an hour or two,.with no worse injury than a slight wound in the back of the neck that seen healed. Of course many ballets went astray and hundreds of horses were killed, hut a geed shot would secure about one herse in three that he attempted te 'crease,' as tills mode of capture was called. "The large calibre rifles commonly In use wcronet adapted te this peculiar mede of hunting, as If they touched the aluew they were sure te break It, and the wounds the 44 or 82 calibre balls inflicted wero tee severe. The weapon universally employed In creasing mustangs was the old Hawkins rifle, which carried a bullet net much larger than a pea, had a set trigger and required but a small charge of powder. These weapons were wonder fully accurate up te 100 yards, but in flicted a trifling wound, and the bullet was llkely te take a course through soft flesh around any hard object, instead of tearing through It, as a larger ball pro pelled by a heavier charge of powder would de. Hundreds of mustangs, al ways the best animals in the herd, used te be creased every year,' and this prac tice was kept up until the herds had en tirely disappeared. HOT OP MUCH USB. "Some of the herses thus secured wero very tough and fleet animals, but few wero of any practical use. Nearly all were stallions, as a wild mare that was geed for anything was seldom seen, aud the captured horses were nearly, without exception, irreclalmably vicious, evon when Judged from the Texas standpoint. Even when broken te the saddle they could only be ridden by the very best horseman, and wero always en the look out te de their riders an Injury. Strange te Bay, they seldom tried te kick, hut a man luid te be continually en the lookout for their fore feet and Aeetli. They eidy used their hind feet when a man was about te mount, but nearly overy ene of them hed a trick of kicking forward as seen as the rider put his feet In the stir rup, and unless he was wary he would re ceive a torrible blew en the leg. "I uied te own a herse that, I bullove, could scratch himself bctwoen the ears with Ids hind feet, his hind leg being ap parently made of India rubber. Tlie in in fcteut he felt a feet In the stirrup his hind hoof would come forward with the speed of lighting, in the attempt te inflict a most vicious kick. I gave up mounting him In the usual way, and always used te "i vault Inte the saddle without touching the Bllrrups, a feat easily enough per formed in my younger aays, aimeugii i would have seme difficulty In doing It new. I used te like te ride wild horses, but after one or two narrow escapes from their deadly fore feet, which they would use If a man carelessly steed In front of them, I gave It up and stuck te the tame stock."

Three years later Mr. Alcott received from Ids daughter the manuscript of a book which Louisa had written according te the Inspiration which was always her best, I. e., that which came from actual observation, and what may be called the Idealization of facts. Miss Alcott said ence that she wrete the book "te preve she could net wrlte It;" In ether words, having been asked by Roberts Bres, te prepare "a geed girls' story," she declared she could net de It, caring se much mero for "boys" than she did for girls; but, if she attempted It, It must be about her own ulsters aud herself. Accordingly, a book was written en this charming principle. On Its receipt ene of the firm took the manuscript home, and, without mentioning the author, handed It te his daughter, a girl of about 13 years, te read. Intrenching himself behind a newspaper, I was told he watched the effect of the story upon this unconscious critic. Page after page was turned, and every variety of expression showed itself en tlie young face bending abeve the book. What would she have said, I wonder, had she known her proud distinction the first child In America who read "Httla Wemenl" But such was the caws. Find ing It Imposslble te Indnce her te leave this fascinating manuscript, the publisher wisely decided that a book which could, In manuscript, se captlvate ene girl, would, In print, reach the hearts of many, and accordingly this first llttle bark freighted with success and fame was launched.

Twe Parisians named Bcrard and Four Feur Four cade have just been sentenced te six and twolve months' Imprisonment, respect ively, for having practiced a series of very ingenious frauds en keepers of publle houses In the metropolis. They were in tlie habit of visiting the landlords and offering them barrels of excellent wlne at greatly reduced prices. Tlie liquor which they gave the publicans te taste was superb, and the bargain was generally concluded ou the spot. A few days after ward the unlucky dealer found that the wlne which he had bought was detestable. Since thelr conviction the men have made a full confession. Berard used te keep a small bettle of geed wlne up his sloevo, and when he made a pretense of filling the glass from the barrel he was hi reality giving his customer the contents of this bettle te taste. Tlie trick was carrled out with considerable address, and was never detccted by his dupes. Anether "dedge, te quote his own ex. presslen, was te pour Inte a barrel of 200 litres forty litres of first-cums wlne. Tlie rcmalnder of the barrel was then filled up with water, slowly lnserted by means of aptpe. The wlne rcinalned at the top; the barrel was pierced high up, and the buyer was again persuaded te taste the liquor te show there was no doceptlen.
