Cattle liaising on the Plains.
W. A. Boland writes from North
riatte, Neb., to the Jackson (Mioh.)
Citizen, a description of how the stock
business of the plains is conducted.
Following is au extract: The grazing
regions of the plains extend from Kear
ney, near the ninety-ninth meridian, to
the Bjcky Mountains, and embrace
southwestern Dakota, southeastern Wy
oming, western Nebraska, and part of
Colorado and Kansas. Through this
vast region cattle aud sheep raDge winter
and summer, feeding on grass and re
quiring no attention except branding
and driving to market when fat The
wh oe country is occupied by ranches,
from three to four miles apart R audi en
are the houses mostly made of sod
where the herders eat and sleep. Gov
ernment owns the land, exoept the stock
owner generally owns forty or 160 acres
on the watercourse where his ranch is
situated, and this ownership of the ranch
settles his title to the range, as the State
law forbids any other party to allow
oattle to remain on a range alrerdy occu
pied more than three days. A ranch i
generally occupied by from two to five
men ; one ranch can care for from COO to
2.000 cattle or sheep. Men havinsr
over 2,000 head of cattle, and there are
many who have 12,000, and some 40,000,
generally have contiguous ranches about
twelve miles apart The whole cost of
keeping cattle a year and marketing
them ranges from S2.75 per head for
small herds (small herds are less thnu
1,000) to 81 per head for large
herds. Three liundred two-year-old
heifers will keep a family in moderate
comfort after the second year, and make
the owner rich in ten years. The sup
ply of cattle is kept up by natural in
crease and by the importation of Texas
cattle, which latter are driven in herds
of many thousands to Ogalalla, a snjall
station on the Union Pacifio railroad,
Borne forty miles west of North Platte,
and sold to stock growers all over the
grazing region. From June 10 till the
latter part of July these Texas cattle
arrive at Ogalalla in such vast numbers
that it is beyond doubt the crreateat
cattle market in the world. No choice
fs allowed the buyer exoept as to age
and sex a thousand is a thousand and
the buyer takes his number, drives them
to the ranch, brands them and turns
them loose. The present prioeB at which
cattle are held at Ogalalla are for year-

heifers, $12; steers, $13; for

Oyster Breeding in Chiua.
Galignani's Messenger says: Like so
many peculiar things in the Celestial
Empire, the system cf breeding the

that pursued in Europe or America. In
the southern part of China "collectors"
of bamboo are placed in the oyster beds,
much after the same fashion as the elab
orate tiles and "hives" employed in
France. These oyster catchers are,
however, prepared in a enrious manner.
The canes are exposed for nhont. t.nn

after which they are dried for several

Th e average cost of supervision and
instruction ior each pupil in some of the
large cities of the Union, varies to an
interesting degree. In New York and
New Orleans, for inbtance, it is nearly
the same, being $21.99 and $21.90. In
Boston and San Francisco it is the high
est in a list of seventeen cities, being
$25.94 and $24.61. Richmond pays
$13.71 per pupil, while Philadelphia
pays $12 71, or the lowest sum in the
list. Incidental expenses for each pupil
vary in a similar ratio, as follows: New
Yetk, $5.G8 and New Orleans, $5.12;
Boston, $10.21 and San Francisco, $9.81;
R cbmond, $2.61 and Philadelphia (an
exception), $7.26. In point of salaries
paid Boston oomes first in the table of
average annual salaries to principals of
grammar schools, paying $3.200;to male
teachers and $2,000 to female. San
Francisco pays $2,466 to male and $2,200
to female. But in the high schools
principals are paid $4,000 in San Fran
cisco and $3,780 in Boston. Primary
teachers are also best paid in San Fran
cisco, receiving an average salary of
$1,500. Chicago ranks next, with $1,080,
while Boston pays only $i00, and New
York $800, with Cleveland last in the
list at $546. Teachers in music get
$3,300 in Boston, and those in drawing
the same, while at San Francisco $1,950
is paid the one and $2,100 the other.
Cincinnati pays $1,800 to both, and
Chicago the same. A female teacher of
drowing was engaged at Milwaukee re
cently for $1,200, and one of the com
missioners explained that " it was im

SMALLEST MAN IN NEW YORK.

Persons passing through Broadway
late at night may have often seen a

small, dark, rear room of a big tene

pies an adjoining room was asked if she
knew him.
"Know Johnny!" was the reply;
" bless me! I have known Johnny for
thirty fyear. Why, Johnny is next to
Tom Turn ; you've heard tell of Tom
Turn?" The old woman went on to re

broad for his size. His head and neck
are out of proportion to the rest of his

but gradually became more communi

County Cavan, Ireland. There he lived

" The book is full of curious, delight

more interesting and more valuable

A Dog Goes Crab Fishing.
She sat upon a rock, fishing for crabs.
She had her dog with her a Skye ter
rier such a one as a Broadway vender
would charge you $10 for. His hair was
long and as soft as silk, bine ribbons
hung from his ears, and his neck was
encircled with a nickel-plated collar.
But all that counted for nothing as
against the fearful scene through which
he was about to pass. He lay close to
the basket in which the Fifth avenue
belle dropped the crabs as fast as she
caught them. He was, no doubt,
dreaming of his happy home far away,
where he was wont to take hiB daily nap
on a $1000 sofa. Now and then a green
bottled fly skipped from ear to ear or
lighted upon his back where the pup
couldn't reach him, and at such times
he whisked his tail wildly till the in
truder was away. On one of these spe
cial occasions, after whisking off the fly,
tne lime siiKen tan rested upon the
edge of the crab basket and the end of
it dropped inside, latitude 47, longitude
62. The feathery edge of it struck a
crab in the eyv., and the claws closed
on the appendage simultaneously.
The dog, oh, where was he ? A yelp, a
howl, and then in silvery tones came the
ti yi i ti yi I as the astonished pup
sailed over the plain and through the
clover with a string of crabs connecting
him with the empty, bounding basket,
and all their claws clutched one with
the other ; and for a minute there was a
mixed scene of dog, crabs, basket, dust
and flying gravel, and the tail was told.
There was no more crab fishing that
day. Foughketpsie (N, Y.) Eagle. j
The Fall of Avalanches
A 'p&per on this subjoct was read by
M. Dnfonr, at a recent meeting of the
French Acodemy of Sciences, in which
he states that, during his travels in the
Alps, the inhabitants had frequently as
sured him that avalanches rarely fall
when the sky is overcast, but that they
do so rapidly and in great number when
tue neavena grow clear. The foot was
confirmed by the monks of the Great St
Bernard. In winter the latter alwav
urged travelers not to leave the monn"t ,
tery when the sky is clearing. andvfi.

prudence. M. Dufouxplains that
peculiarity as follows: In cold weather,
when the sky clears off, the temperature
falls, especially just before sunrise, and
theu the filaments of ioe which retain
the snow on the slopes of the mountains
contract and snap, the mass begins to
slide and draws others in ita train; for
the slightest cause of movement, the
smallest shock may cause the fall of
enormous avalr.nches. The start of
bird, a cry, sometimes even words pro
nounced iu a low tone, are snfUcient to,
produce a catastrophe. That is why, in
dangerous places, the guides recommend
their travelers to observe absolute si
lence. That explanation appeared ex
tremely probable to the monks of the
Great St Bernard when it was suggest
ed to them by M. Dnfour, and a circum
stance of which he was a witness con
firmed him in his views. A meadow of
several acres iu extent had been pre
pared at Morges for skaters, by covering
it with water, which froze while the
heavens wore covered. One night the
sky cleared off, and M. Dufonr noticed
a sensible fall in the thermometer. Im
mediately afterwards he heard crack
ings in all directions, due to the con
traction of tho ioe from the increased
cold, and numerous splits were observ
able. Thtt phenomenon is precisely
analogous to what occurs when the
heavens clear np and cause the fall of
the avalanches.
