BY WILLIAM T. HORNADAY. Author of “Two Years in the Jungle.” (Copyright 1887. All rights reserved.) AS I said before, the rest of the boys had a buf- alo hunt while I was wrestling with the skinsand ‘skeletons of the four already killed, and this was bow & happeaed: It had taken us the whole of the day following our frst “Kilt” to get over to the Buffalo Buttes,a8 ‘we afterward named them, and skin one buffalo. We camped in the coulie where we found the water, and early the next morning started out With the empty wagon to visit the three re- maining buffalo, skin them and haul in thetr hides. Russell rode to a high butte, a mile away ‘from our course, to take a look, and Jim MeNaney Fode off south ona hunt While the rest of us ‘Were Working like beavers to dig a crossing for the ‘Wagon at a very deep coulle, Russell came gallop- ing down to us, shouting, “Take out that brown horse! ‘There are four More buffalo down yonder!” ‘We dropped our tools, unhitched both horses, and snatched the harness off their backs in just about two minutes, They were both capital horses fr hunting buffalo, even though one was blind of aneye. Kussell was so eager to kill a buffalo that I gave him old Browne in place of the Di rhe ‘Was then riding. Feeling sure that my buffalo bull would spoil unless I staid by to keep him from &, I gave Brown my roan horse, saddle and rifle, that he might have a go at the buffalo. The seventh maa of our party, Private West, who was 9a furlough, and _ hi: elected to remain with us, ok the Digger, barebacked, and joined the chase. ‘They overtook four buffalo in the bad north of me, across Taylor Creek, but owing to the Dad behavior of Boyd's horse, which was very high spirited, they did not get a single good shot from the und. Atthe first alarm away went the buff: with all hands hard after them. Rus- Sell soon overtook the bunch, wounded a cow, brought her down a little iater, and stopped long enough to kill her. Of the others, two were fine old and one was a frisky yearling. Boyd wount one of the bulls, which left the others, headed west, and settled down for a long run, with the cowpuncher in hot pursuit, Jussell gave chase to te otler Dull, which the talf ran with for a long distance, and followed him under whip and spur wile he described an immense semi-cirele of about five miles, The hunt swung around me as if I were a pivot, part going one way nd part the other. I heardevery oue of the shots, and even saw part of the chase, but was power- Jess to join it. Even if pursuit is not better than peasession, it certainly is more exciting. Oneach Of the three different times when the rifles began ‘their rapid fusilade ie 8 the distant hills, and ‘the peculiar, mufiled “ \” Of each shot was waft ed tomy -< ears, they made me dance around ‘that big buil skin with the impatience of a hound chained in sight of a fox-chase. It was dreadfully ‘tantalizing, aud no one else will ever know what I suffered thitday. All I could do was to count boy sare eat guns! Tris? wasthere!> © Om 78, t guns! ‘Was there!” ‘Hassell Gaally overhauled bis bull away off to ‘the southeast, rode close ide him as he ran, and or hig six-shooter into the top of his Jos. He died. Meanwhile the calf got away from Russell only to run foul of Jim, two miles farther south. Jim saw him coming, and when be ‘had fairly arrived sent a ball through his lungs, ‘Which promptly ended his career. Boyd's led him a we: chase, He ran about three miles west, crossed Taylor Creek, and ran ‘three miles south, then bore off southeast, and ran about eight miles more. Then Boyd and Jimcame together, and by a very clever maneuver got with- im Fange of the burly old bison, fired together and Killed As it was then late in the afternoon, and they were six miles from camp, they neatly disemboweled the buffalo, ripped the skin of the legs to facilitate the tnal act on the morrow, and Teturned to camp. Beiure the day ended the rest Of us had skinned all the dead buffalo except Rus- seiPs cow, Boyd's bull, and the yearling calf. They ‘Were so far off we could not get at them, nor had Wwe time to haul in any of the hides. It would bea hard matter for = buffalo to be more effectu- aliy scattered, or in worse ound, than those Kilied up to that time. But if we had even dreamed of what was going to happen that night there | would have been mounting and riding after worse ‘Game than buffalo. ‘That night the whole camp was jubilant. We had found buffalo at last, and every hunter had blood on his whiskers. We had bagged eight buf falo out of fourteen, and in less than a month had peurly half ate e our ailotted task, We/ cho; up rush, Dulit a rousing fire down in tae aa coulie, cooked ‘and feasted on savory hump de buffalo, terderioin a 1& cow- Puncher, canned corn, Dutch oven bread and coffee, fom oon, eo weak ucthe wannst there. We joked. and laughed, gang Songs, and told each other all manner of lies about our adventures until our beds in dry grass fairly and “The next moruing 1 was planned that should ride back to our camp on Calf Creek for a paek load of sait, oats, and grub; Boyd and Brown ‘were to skin the cow in the bad grounds, while West and I should take ne wagon, and with Jim go tou and big bi Doth, and in the hides. - It was a long and tedious drive. Toget around series Of impassible coultes that lay in our ound was good. There was no tage-brush to pull through, and the surface of the Mgh-rolling upland was as smooth and hard as meadow. Indeed, it was a vast, closely-shaven, natural meadow of ‘buffalo grass, as fine as can be found in all Montana. Jim trotted ahead to find a practicable route for the wagon, and whenever the surface permitted we rattied along at a lively rate to accomplish our ‘ask and get back to camp before dark. We passed half a dozen herds of antelope, containing seventy or eight head all told, the greatest number we saw 4m one day during the whole trip. We could have easily killed two or three, but resolutely resisted all temptations, and did “not fire a single shot, Excepting one or two coyotes that got up and sneekingly trotted off out of sight, we saw no ‘Other living creatures, In spite of brisk driving and no stops 1t was two oclock in the afternoon when we reached the calf; but in less than half an hour it was measured, skinned, quartered, and landed in the w ‘Without losing a moment we then set out for the big bull, Which Was still three or four miles farther on. Boyd had declared that by the fairest Kind of hand measurement that buffalo was six feet high atthe shoulders a perfect monster tn Star, evers way cousidered. | He had dilated upon the magnificent proportions and pelage of that that ball until my expectations had beet raised ty the highest pitch, and I said to the bors, “Now, if that bull really 18 the largest when he comes un- der the tape line, he ts the one we will mount for the museum.” Since he was in all lkciihood the Targest one in the lot, I was sorry that I had not Deen the one to kill him. But no matter, it was all im the family. ‘As we neared our prize the country grew more Tough, and the buttes all looked so much alike im mikwed his direction a tune of two, und vook WS littie out of our way. We wound In and out, and down, across coulies and around buttes for along time, anti af last we saw Jim pull up and ook back at us. “He's found it,” said West. “It's down in the ed of this coulle.” But we could not see it yet. ‘The next moment he Jumped off his horse, cried out: “ Great heavens, fellers! just come here and see that's been dome? and ran down the bank. I dropped the lines, sprang out of the wagon and Tapafterhim. Asingleglance wasenough. Down in the bottom Of the coulle lay what was left of ‘the great bison. The skin was gone, the legs were gone, and the bones of the huge carcass had. beem Picked clean. ‘There was hardly a pound of good neat left on the whole skeleton. ‘The leg bones had been broken up by human coyotes for the marrow they contained, and the ts lay Scattered all about. The head had been left um skinned, but the tongue had been hastily cut out. A generous strip of bright red flannel was ted around the base of the glossy black horn that was | Uppermost. One side of the head had been painted | Yed, by suicaring the color on the hair, and on | turhing it over We found the other side had been ted yellow.

AMI that was Dad enough, but to Bnd the only unsteslable portion smeared over With nasty war pall, and a dirty red reg ted to 4, was entirely too much. The unmitigated gall Of the sneaking coyotes in thus Minging deflance 4p our faces would have made a shooting matter of if we had laid eyeson them then. ‘They were ‘too iagy and unskiliful to killa buffalo on their hook, but they were cute enough when it Skulking ‘up to our prize by night and away with It; and then, as Jim remarked, teil their squaWs when they get home y chased and kiled a big buffalo. Up to that time we had seen no Indians, nor any of ‘and no one dreamed there were any . True enough, we knew that Piegan thieves lad been stealing rising the country farther west, butte, which he revengetully dashed over the steep’ side. If all hands bad only been there, equipped for the hunt, how quickly, and even Joy- fully would we have ‘struck out to hunt up and recover that skin. We fairly thirsted for Indian gore that afternoon, and bad we met the thieves who stole our spoll We might easily have got our- selves into a first-class scrape! To our great relief we found the skin of Russell's buffalo undisturbed, and farther on we picked Uj the skins and meat Of two more of our victims. It Was long aiter dark when we finally got to camp with our heavy load, and the horses were all ti out. They had chased buffalo and pulled the wagon without rest for nearly ten days. It ever any hunters were “hoppin’ mad,” we had just six in camp that night, le from’ the loss of a magnificent buffalo skin, worth $200 at least, and which could not have been ht of us for $000, the impudent redskins “had given us dirt,” as the cowboys expressed it, and the damage thereby inflicted apon our feelings could not estimated in dollars and cents. Some of the boys thought that by their lavish expenditure of war- aint and red flannel the Indians actually in ended to warn us out of the country. Russell's volce was stiil for war. Jim and Boyd told me quietly but pointedly ‘that they were ready to stay by me in Whatever I wanted to do, although they had little hope of our ever finding the Indians who stole the hide. Well, the ques- Uon of what to do really decided itself.’ Our horses were all “played out,” and needed several days’ Test to make them fit for another hard pull. We had on our hands seven buffalo skins, one “head and three big skeletons only half promeree: and unless the skins received close attention during the next three days some of them would come to f. Moreover, after our anger cooled a little, ‘told the boys { would not be willing to see oné of them shot, or be shot myself, for half a doven buffalo skins, precious though they were; and since It might take two weeks and it might take forever, to find those Ins, We might as ‘Well put down that bide under the head of profit and loss, ‘The next night we picketed all our horses close them all night, but without tocamp, and wateh: incident. We hunted the country where the In- dians had been as thoroughly as our tired horses could do it, but saw no dispensers of war-paint. ‘The only sign we discovered was an Indian bridle ornamented with red flannel, feathers and beads, which we found in the bottom of a coulle where some rider had dropped it. We were very careful of our buffalo skins after that, and our horses, too, but from first to last we saw no Indians whatever. The gang which played it so low down on us turned up later at the LU-bar ranch, with pieces of the buffalo skins under their saddles. Tney were Plegans, and their were eleven of them—not 80 many that our party of six need have been afraid to call upon them had we found them; but in any case 1 would have been a rash and til-ad- vised proceeding. The cattle men and cowboys in that country would have been the worse forit,even if we had recovered our stolen robe, ————+e0+-______ ART NOTES.

My reforms have been: To protect ‘the pubilc domatn; to restrain the rapacity of the corporations, ‘Theirs consist in Keeping a few men in office.

None of them are in the cl itied civii- service. ‘They supplanted republicans who were active and aggressive, and who had been appointed because of their efficfent party service, in other Words leading and represéauive party “inen, were removed becaiwe they were republicans, and lead. ing, active democrata, who had been honored by Wncir Several constituencies, were appolnted in miclency their places, so a8 to improve the e! of the public service according to the democratic idea. fo republicans in Maryland were removed upon charges, but simply because they were active par- Usan republicans, and active democrats were in- Stalied in their places because we beileved that ‘Would advance the public interests.” He concludes with the declaration that the Maryland appointments wilt compare favorably with those made from any other State, —-oo Mrs. Cameron’s Conditio: STILL SUFFERING FKOM THE EFFECTS OF HER SUI- CIDAL ATTEMPT. A dispatch from Milwaukee, April 1, says: Mrs. Cameron, Who jumped Mto the Mississippi River Thursday night, is stl suffering from mental aberration. She cannot realize what she tried to do. She 1s very quiet in her demeanor, but will be guarded to prevent a repetition of her suicidal at- tempt. Its feared her mind is permanently be- clouded, Mrs. Cameron came originally from Ei- mira, N.Y. Her husband is a native of the west- ern part of New York. They met and married in that State, and came West t her. Mrs. Came- ron is a handsome woman, in neighborhood of fifty years of age. She has a tall, slight figure, Brown eyes, and h most pleasing epomigton. eer FO) ex yn. Her husband setved as Senator frou Wisconsin nearly ‘two full terms. Mrs.Cameron was very wellknown in Washington society. Senator and Mrs. Came- ron. kept “house, and entertained very lib- erally. She went out a great deal, although she Was always in delicate health, Mrs. Cameron lett Washington soon after her husband’s term expired, and never returned. It was after her departure from Washington that the accid™mt on the East Xiver ferryboat, which is believed to have affected her reason, happened. ‘Two Ways of Employing Wealth. The New York World comments as follows on a Subject of interest. The contrast between the different modes of employing wealth by A. T. Stewart and George W. Childs will impress every reader: “The art collection of A. T. Stewart has gone the Way of his other accumulations. The immense business which he built up with rare sagacity and energy has disappeared. His whole fortune, indeed, is broken up in fragments, It is a com- aratively few years since he died, and not- par Rh yet, food Of ene public he would Race deh aten onus we done q at least, to vindicate his extraordinary money- As it is, there is neither rhyme i : i i & E i SULLIVAN or Hs Anu.—Fifteen hundred ‘a dollar aplece sowitucss eae 5} ion given at E i i Ly die isi Ht z a MEXICO AND THE MEXICANS. @ few hours it hasa and he ak ike eee pee ‘Sie peons Who suak ce bap, the fithy pig-skins in which it ts gathered, and the dirty tanks used in its fermentation, give an American an idea that the stuff is rotten.

It were tar better if, in our own land, no liquor was permitted to be sold after sun- down. Nine-tenths of the ee en and murders are the result of bacchanaltan revels in the hours of darkness, and but for law in Mexico night would be made horrid with assassi- nations. Whenever, with all the other strange street scenes, a stalwart half-clad native is seen staggering with a imp, lank fellow on his back, we are not alarmed. fe know it is not sunstroke, but a bad case of pulque, and afew hours’ sicep will put him in yood shape for another like expe- rience. Physicians wiseiy or otherwise advise the use of pulque as a remedy for indigestion,nervous- ness, 1nsomnia and general debility. By distilling the fresh young leaves of the maguey plant mes- cal is obtained. ‘This liquor is as FIERY AS A TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION, and the victim who indulges too freely has the wildest tancles fitting through his brain for about three days, The leaves of the maguey, flattened. by -heavy stones, are used for roofing; the fiber makes ropes and thread, and the old plants, that have died after the yield of sap, are dried and used by the peons in baking tortillas.

In the old Franciscan chapel, built in 1585, is a very, quaint little Mexi- can organ. and a cast of the “Virgin and dead Christ.” ‘The organ ts reputed to be the first made in America. Near the city, in the old church of Nuestra Sefiora de Tecajic, 1s a miracle-workl shrine two centuries oid, which 1s revered ant worshiped by the Aztec’ Indians, A short dis- tance from Toluca the “tree of the little neste so called trom its wonderful flowers, is grown fn abundance. Toluca has been famous for its bull fights for the past twenty years, In 1866 the na- ‘onal government interdicted this Moorish practice in the Tederal district, but this forced reformation had no moral support among the le in the republic, and these brutal sports were kept up in the capitals of many of the States. Toluca being easy of access by rail, crowds of the sporting class 1n the City of Mexico left the city every Sabbath to witness these contests in the amphitheater in the Plaza de Toros. It is hard to understand how sensitive women, Who’ would be stirred with deepest sympathy at the siriek of a child, or the yelp of a dirty cur, can be wrought up’ into a frenzy of ecstacy when the bull fighter plunges his dat, with Geadiy precision, into the heart of @ bull maddened with fury by the pricks and goads of bis inhuman tormentor.

It 18 a- poor compliment to the advanc- ing civilization of this land that after the interdiction of this barbaric sport for a score of years tp Mexican congress, at its last session, repealed the restricting clause, and the opening Dull night, on the Sabbath, during our visit, was the grandest fete of the seagon. ‘The occasion was, made a grand gala day, and the proceeds of sale of tckets $22,000.

THE LEADER OF THE GANG THAT MURDERED OL. CHAS. POTTER KILLED. It was reported in Santa Fe Tuesday night that Marino Leyba, the notorious outlaw, leader of the gang who have terrorized Central New Mexico for Six months, had been killed while resisting arrest Rear Antelope Springs, 70 miles south of there. This report was confirmed by the arrival of Joa- quin Monterea and Carlos Jaconie with Leyba’s body. These two men had been deputized by Sheriff Chavez, of Santa Fe County, to make the arrest, and théy met, Leyba on a mountain trail while ’on the lookout for him. When ordered to surrender, the outlaw pulled out his pistol, and Monterea’ and Jaconie drew theirs ‘The three shots then fired sounded Uke one. A bullet went through Monterea’s hat, but Leyba fell dead at his feet, shot through the head. Leyba led the ‘that murdered Col. Chas. Potter, stepson of Gov. Van Zandt, of Rhode Island, in the Dolores “Mountains in 1863, and buried'the body, after taking from it several hun- dred dollars. Four of the gang were captured by Sheriff Armitage and taken to Albuquerque, were they were lynched, Leyba, the fifth meiaber, fled to the mountains, but came out and began opera- tons again after all the witnesses were dead. He Was afterward convicted of stealing and sentenced to five years in the penitentlary. When he was dischai SIX months ago, he immediately re- turned to the Nourishing mnfaing country and Feors ganized his gang. They would shoot up towns, Steal horses and rob travelers, Their last. exploit, was the inurder and robbery of Lackey and Tresier near Antelope Springs. ‘These men owned 20,000 sheep down there. Lackey was killed in his house and his body burned. ‘Tresier was shot in the back while running away. Two of the Leyba gang were arrested for murder and are now awaiting trial.

The New York World of Aprit 1 says: Ralph Ogle, sixty-five years old, of No. 985 sth avenue, has been practically ruined by his sons. One of them, George Ogle, is now in Sing Sing for killing James A. Brown ina ball-room December 1, 1882. ‘The murderer's father did all he could to save his boy, using the savings of years to pay eminent counsel. It was through the old man’s efforts that Ogle escaped the gallows Y another son, who bears his father’s name of Ralph, and is but nineteen years old, was sent to Sing for five years for forgery, and on the trial 1t was shown that a third son was con- cerned in the crime. ‘The circumstances are made worse by the iact that the two sons made their own father their victim, robbing him in a lule over two months of every penny he had in the ‘world—all that was le‘t him after he had expended @ small fortune in saving his other son from the gallows, The money secured by the two youths amounted to over $1,000, and was expended in riovous living. The first check was forged January 8, this year, and every few days following a new forgery was perpetrated until the old man’s ac- count was Abally exhausted and the aged Tather notified. He at once had his son Ralph arrested, but the other boy is still at large, A Young Physici: infatuation. DESERTING HIS WIFE AND ELOFING WITH A CLERGY- MAN'S DAUGHTER.

She has boarded at the Daydawn for along time, and conducted herself with the strictest propriety. She 1s a brilliant wontan in every way, and dressedin striking, yet perfectly tasteful, costumes. She and the young doctor soon Decaie intimate, and much gossip was occasioned, Dut young Mrs. Manchester suspected nothing. ‘On March 7 the doctor informed his wile that he was going out West to look up a new place in which to and bade her an affectionate bye. The next day a Lebanon man saw the loctor and Miss Marvin together in Boston, and came home and re; the fact. ‘Those who had been observing events were not greatly sur- prised, but the blow fell like a thunder-boit upon ira. Manchester, and she could hardly believe the truth. It seems that Miss Marvin, before going away, drew $1,700 from a ahd took with ber ail her jewelry and finery. OU bas been heard from her aliice the day after the elope- ment, but the doctor appeared unexpectedly last Friday, all his debts in Enfield, and departed as quickly as he came.
