"WILD HORSES. f How They Catch and Manase Them in the Far Went. A letter from Fort Collins, Col., to J % the Cincinnati l&vtmercial, says : Socne of the most fascinating scenes in the boy's book world being those in which ice wiio. norsa ngures, it was & with something of the old youthful thrill that a party of us the other dav heard our driver exclaim, "There is Wild Horse Jerry and a lot of wild broncos in that corral yonder." Busi: . nesswas left to take care of itself for the present, and we drove quickly over to the place indicated, a rede enclosure about hlty feet square, in which were some uczen horses, mcstly about two ! years old, and in their appearance well justifying iht-same applied to the na live horses o? the west, ' broncos," the "^.Spanish word for "rough." The dimenovel pre&rto1ferrv> name had led us to expect such a looting character as adorns the initial page of that class of literature, or the second-rate stage; but we found him. and his two partners certain!y ''as mild-mannered men as ever cut throat"?merely dressed in the usual local costume of men who , follow an out-door life of any kind here?broad felt- hat, blue flannel shirt, and " overhauls " thrust into a pair of heavy cowhide boots. And they were quite genial and communicative, and as we sat safely perched on the top rail ci the corral waiting for operations to begin, they told us hew they chase the bands of wild horses on the platte, not taking them with the lasso, at full. - - - - 3 - A* 1 _ ? i.1. . 1 ? 1.., A speea, as i-oev uo iu. iuu uyuts, true " running thtm with fresh relays until tired down sufficiently to be driven into an mclosure. The "laiiat" or " lasso " is used only to 4' cut out" and bring under control for branding, breaking and like purposesV _ The 'Ibraj^t^^^tne^way, is a vary fsfporiant thing to the cattle and horsemen, owing to the risk of the animals stroying and the difficulty of otherwise identifying them; and the law here, in this respect at least, is always vindicated, both by the courts ; and by "Judge Lynch," with prompt ness ana seven ty against any wao may dare attempt to infringe u the property rights thus indicated. A brand when choscn must be approved by the county authorities and then registered, ! care being tahen to allow none similar to existing brands or liable to be altered into them. It is usually some peculiar device, an H with an inverted V over it-, for instance; and having i been executed in iron of the dimensions ct some four or fivo inches square, more or less, it is applied red ^ hot to the animal's side in some ccn3picuous spot. The herds that graze on t'-ie plains are gone over yearly for thi* purpose, and the annual " rcTisd-ups," \ or meeting of bc-rds and herdsman to v effect this and also to sort out and rei^^"sdaini "straps," are occasions of great lob?l interest. ,T- t j. - ?.3 i ?i TT^ LV vur ?nu liuiara. "c bad arrayed just as the men were about to cut out a fine-looking black mare for the pr*rpose of hobbling her, she having showijj a disposition to lead the others into rr^iscbief, and it was with no desire of changing places with the men that we taw them enter the corral on foot amongst thfr wild animals with ' their lariats, three-ouarter inch ropes of great suppleness, v,ith a running noose some six feet in.length hanging on their left arms. The horses setmed to know that something w-is about to j happen and immediately began charg- j ing wildly around the incicoccre, and it; appeared impossible that the men could retain their places a moment'wiihout j being crushed ; but the brutes seemed j to recognize "the higher power," and o TT-Avr"/^/-] "fyAin + Vi a 1 o yiq V. nco O r? \zl ICU X-L\.'J?i SUW Uj.V>?UiUA nuvuv ; coercive powers they had already felt, as the double "fish-hook" brands on their flanks 'testified. And now the noose in Jerrv's right hand began to circle horizontally over his head at J arm's length, and the horses to plunge more mildly than ever around the corral. Suddenly a quick, forward motion of the arm is seen, and the noose flies tcward th- intended victim, but a sudden swerve causes it to fall short, and the whole drove gallop wildly to a remote corner. But now they are again cfovfor? fV>c? nnnco smrirxrc t.liis f.iTnA drops over ihe m&re's neck. The weight of a second man is immediately thrown upon the rope and the straggle begins, the mare wildly pluDgiag and rearing, and the men resisting, nDtil it wonid seem that the animal must either s*r<aigle herself or break her neck. But in a moment another noose is thrown, tiiis time catching her hind legs ; and as she plunges again, a sudden pull throws her fairly on her side, her head is caught-, and she is vanquished. The hobbler, a long chain, is then attached to her right fore foot, and the ropes then being quickly and skillfully removed, she scrambles again to her ieet, erect once more, but shorn of lier power for mischief. The native horses raised by the herders are all handled in this -way, j rough as it seems. When one is to be broken to the saddle, he is blindfolded alter being thrown, in which condition he is perfectly submissive. The saddle, a strange complex of leather, hi. h peaks, enormous stirrup leathers, fringed tassels, coiled lariat <&c., is tLen strapped on, the bridle forced into place, and the rider, armed with cruel looking spurs, with barbed points of the circumference of a silver dollar, leaps into place. The blindfold is then removed, and tbe struggle begins, precluded usually bv the wildest plunging, rearing and buck irtg, the latter consisting of a rapid I series of vertical leaps with legs rigid, : and very tiring to the rider's endurance and tenure of liis seat, the best of tnem ' having no hesitation in "holdingon" ! at such times by a strap regularly pro-' vided for the purpose. If he maintain his seat through all this, a wild gallop usually follows, protracted by the spur-! ring of the remorseless rider until the animal has thoroughly learned, once i for all, the power of the master. And : so docile are they that the wildest become in a few weehs as tractable as if they ; had been in training for years, and will stand for hoars where left, saddled aiid bridled, quietly awaiting their master's i _. return. Owing to the>"r light weight and inferior quality, the use under the saddle is the chief one to which they are put, and to which their ea-y and untiring ; gait is particularly adapted. All the heavier draft and road work is done I either by horses of eastern stock or by j their much abused half-brother, the! mule, who though he may occasionally j use his legs, as Josh Billings said, j " two to stand ou and two to kick with," is, when decently handled, ; not onlv as sagacious, kind and affectionate .as horse, bnt much hardier and j simpler in his wants.

Bis health appeared to suffer, and his doctor ordered him to take one glass of punch daily. " Oh!" said he, "I dare not. Peggy, my old housekeeper, would tell the whole parish."

Mnch has been said and written about the golden tread of the sheep, but we must remember tnat it depends ^together where it treads as to whether the tread is golden or otherwise. Of conrse on light land under the plow the tread of the sheep is beneficial in consolidating the land, neither is it so heavy as t j poach it; the even distribution oi manure, too. by sheep is a well-known advantage. But it is the close cropping of the sheep on newly-kid gra$s-l*nd, or upon the best meadows, which does so much harm.

"Some of our readers," says the Horn* "Weekly, "may think this a contradiction but ic is quite possible to grov pork with that happy medium of fa and lean so much relished.

Pigs have thus been grown anc fattened for so long a time that they seen to have taken on only lean meat enongl to hold the body together. Excep when on grass the pig is plied aimosi wholly with corn, which is excessively rich in starch and fat. Some breed: have become so constituted that they will get fat on grass. The* pig in it: natural state does not get excessively fat, but is nearly as lean as a beef ani mal. If young animals are fed on nitro genous food, Mich as skimmed railk anc grass, they will be found to grow rap idly, extend the frame and muscula: system and having only fat enough t< round out the body to comely shape Pigs should always be full fed, but this does not necessarily mean cramming with corn, which merely piles on fat till the young pig becomes diseased.

A single tree s; drooping with perfectly healthy fruit j is of more consequence than a doze: * i that fail to attain perfection. The ag< 2 of fruit trees, of any species, when per 1 i manently planted, in yard or orchard s: should not be less than two and no 1 over four years old. Nurserymen shoulv * i guarantee their salable trees to bi 1 grafted or budded, as the organs o 2 i fructification are inoculated into th< 3 | system of the young tree by the unioi 1; of different species. If you plant fo: - i substantial fruit and ornament in th ! future, be not guided by matters o 7 I economy in selecting poor specimens 5 I Young fruit trees should have bealtl 2 and proportion at the beginning.

Another item of som f | magnitude to the future welfare of th 1 j tree3 is that it be branched low, havin< - j at the time of permanent planting onl; r ; two to three feet of clear stem betweei ^ | the roots and branches. This will enabl s! the branches to mold a convenient 1 j accessible form. It will also enable i s to shade its own trunk and 6urfac e | fibers, and gain diameter at the expensi 7 i of height. The fruit will be less liabl e ! to bruise when it falls, and the tree wil s j bo symmetrical and proof a gains * | violent storms. These principles an i! applicable to all species of fruit trees - i Forest and ornamental trees possessim 31 these qualities will give greater satis - faction, with the exception of these in tended for growing along drives, avenue; > ! and sidewalks.

I t * An entomologist has discovered what ' s ' the terms the coal bug or the timex an, | c J tharacitus. Professor Otto Hechelmeyer-1 s 3 who has been interviewed on the sub- j F _ I ject by a reporter of the Philadelphia i i ' j Record, makes the following startling i 1 . i /. . I v : ; siaiemem. : t j i Ee said that, taking the result of i f *! Professor Agassiz's discoveries in raid- | 1 j ; ocean, where he found that minute j s a | corpuscles threw oil their sheiis, and j v * these, growing together, formed im- j $ mense deposits, it is not surprising that j v Professor Rodagash, of Stockholm, (t. ^ whom we met in Gettingen last year, j e , should appear with a new species of bug, j s ^ which might be considered as a descen- ; a 1 dant of the prehistoric tree bug and 1 t which is now found in coal in greatj T quantities and threatens to undermine ^ 3 many valuable coal beds. "It is very 1 2 noticeable,"said ProfessorHechelmeyer, v "that the so-called coal dust is peculiar | t on account of its round appearance. d Upon examination with the microscope j t it was found that these particles are j c g I covered with millions of these cimex \ I j anihracitus. "Each one is about the size j v i of the head of a needle, fiat in appear- j t _ I anoe, and are plentiful at the bottom j i * ; of coal veins, from whence they work j v * ; their way to the top, making holes in j s | the mineral and rendering it- almost 1' j unfit ior use. 'The male is of gray 5 ! : black color, and has ?;ix spots on his t ^ back. The female is broad and has v g nine spots. But why these spots vary ! e 9 in the sexes is something that has puz-! v 2 j zled the scientific men who have ex- j v ^ | amined them." The Professor went on ! e a ; at length to give a description of these ! | bugs and their evil propensities. He j s I\ said that coal oil was but another form i ^ * j of these insects, but that in this liquid ^ * j state they had become crushed, and t j those that escaped forced their way to ^ i the surface, where they were found. *' ? j "You have often noticed," said the Pro- s !; fessor, "that when coal is first placed k r ; upon a firs, or when it is ignited, there j r '! is a crackling, hissing noise, and pieces i ^ \ \ fly about the grate or range. Thatis j J ~ caused by the death struggles of these j f1 ? j insect?. The more of these there are in j h *! coal the quicker it burns. Housekeepers ! t, * | often wonder why it is that ono ton of j ^ j I coal will last longer than another. The I ^ s j cause of this is easily explained?one i f ' j has more of the times ar4hmdtus in it b 5 +no nf.Vipr " Tinarrtirf' hmisfikften- I d ] I ers who purchase cheap coal pay half ^ * for coal and the other half for a load of J j these awful insests as a general thing. " j Servant girls, stokers in fire rooms and | housewives cannot be too careful when c. , j moving about a coal pile, for if one of p . | these minute creatures should get upon ? , ! their clothing or flesh the former ^ 5 j would be eaten into holes quicker than ^ I ; by moths. When they become attached f, , : to the skin of a person they burrow in. -j j and, btirying themselves, multiply fast, I I producing a whito swelling, which *0 "r i eventually resnlts in a softening of the -j L i bones and a horrible death. The only 0 I; method yet kno^n to kill these bugs in 2 ' ! a ccs-.l pUs is, sprinkle a bneketful of ^ 5 : chloride of lime solution over it, the i q \ i proportion being about ono bucket to a J r ' J ton of coal. j S( ??? ? fl , The King of the Sandwich Islands. i] v, > The Omaha Republican publishes n [ the following interview: ? y "Who is that colored gentleman 0 t standing in the car door, over there ?' ! j, c I asked a passengc-r of another at tu? j q , !

About a dozen of them com- ]( ^ prise the whole outfit. They got to- { gether and picked this fellow up for p 7 their king, or cat's-paw, because they ! could use him. The only claim that, {] I he had was tha'j he was a distant rela- ; 0 i tive of the cannibal kings. When he j s I was elected king he was little bettei j ^ , i than a man of leisure or common loafer j ]a j on the streets. They ran him against j S' 1 : Queen Emma, and he beat her. it was | ?] 1 ; ' Whoa, Emma!' with her, because she ! ^ 5 ; would not manage affairs to suit the j {j " | ring.

' -N^ f I A Fight Between Sea Monsters, A Newfoundland correspondent ritec a vivid account of a fight which i e witnessed between sea monsters :: t )n a lovely afternoon in July I steed j pon the bank of a loftlv clitf on that j f art of the c.ast "between Placentia ! nd St. Clary's Bays. Everything was : j till. Only the faintest murmur, the j ^ ngry tones of the ocean roar upon the urf, melted into delicious musi<\ ole ! A p from the strand to where I f J. j 1 As I stood like everything ab-nc me, | c inte under the influence of t^c after-: oon.a sound as of innumerable and gen- i I !e tappings came up from the still sea, ; 2 nd looking I saw that myriads of fi?hes, j od and the lesser creatures on which j c he former preyed, had risen to the sur- j a ice and were "breaching." The tap- j ?ing sound was made by beating the c rater with their tails and fins. Such a ; a cene is not uncommon; but almost j imultaneously with this I heard a' loIIow, whistling sound, and saw a | * olumn of spray rise like a geyser, bout li feet from the water. I saw hen that a whale had risen among the c tshes, and with his monster, gaping - e?. S AW3j 111 <X IUIU.LII Ui IjUC LIWO xu tv ; rrite it, had engulfed several hundreds j if the breaching fishes, and was about j 2 0 plnnge under the waves again to j i wallow his prey piecemeal, wher. two j n ither creatures appeared upon the: cene. They were the united and im- ! e >lacable foes of the whale, the sword-: I tsh and thrasher. The sword-fish is a : 1 ong, litli9 creature, armed with a long,; iard substance protruding from its j j nout, resembling a sword, from which : a 1 derives its name; the thrasher is a : j pecies of sea-shark or fox-shark. It j ras evident that they had come for the j , louble purpose of mating war upon the j ?-hale and getting some of the feast for j hemselves. In the space it takes the j ^ ye to twinkle the offensive and defen- j ive were assume^ The sword-fish : * ttacked the whale under water, the j hrasher attacked him above. As the j * rhale made an effort to dive he impelled j limself against the armed head of his j i ithe foe, and if he remained where he ; c as the thrasher brought its ungainly ! c "V -3 ?

Such a "thrashing" I had never ; onceived of even in my dreams, when i used to go the hills and rob birds' ; tests, and saw the teacher, more terri- j g ile than a wrathful dragon, with a cow- i j tide to expiate my guilt. . The sounds | j rero dull thuds when the thrasherj t truck his antagonist, and sharper and ^ ouder when he missed his aim and _ track the water. The waves were ? ieaten about in foam and spray, the rhale trying to ply his tail upon his ! s nemies, but before he could get his K mgainly body into position his enemies ; ^ rere out of harm's way and making a I lew attack upon an unexpected quarter * ?he contest continued, broken only by g hcri intervals, when" the whale went ^ ielow th e surface for about ten minutes. . ?hen the sword-fish, as if satisfied with ^ he part he had played, dived down into i ^ he clear blue water ana tne inrasner i ollowedliis example.

The scroll is e Dur feet high and twelve feet long. 'he surface is entirely cross-grained and | idented with miniature squares formed 3 y lines running from opposite corners. * 'hese squares, uniformly covered with ^ Id gold, stand out in bold relief by leans of a darker shade of gilt with bich the lines are traced. Four large t Jhinese letters in ebony are carved at * egular intervals across the face of the c croll, around which is a rich border of 1 .owers and fruits. The scroll itself is 1 iclosei bj a deep, wide frame, upon s *hich is carved a large number of alio- * orical figures, so wrought and blended 4 Dgether as to appear to have been made ? f one solid piece of wood. At the c jwer corners are placed two figures of * Ihinese gentlemen, each holding a word, the upper corners being devoted 1 d two maidens, each having a tambour- x He in hand, and depending from which * > a long veil, completely encircling ] heir body. The space intervening be- i cveen the figures is blocked with dark 1 lass, so that under an artificial light * lie effect is very beautiful. The im * eriai present has caused a commotion a mong tho Chinese, and great curiosity ? ; manifested. a ? f The Pavra-Slio]) in China. j China knows all about the pawn- s hop, and the uses of that dubious * stablishment. But their monetary * ransactions are conducted in a manner ^ luch more favorable to the borrower? p hat is, the public?than among onr- elves. Not only is the interest charged I iss than one-half that paid here, but he care taken in storing the articles y lodged is much greater. Indeed, it is i lie usual practice for people to send 1 heir winter clothes to the pawn-shop c n the appearance of spring, and their a ammer garments when the cold north rinds begin to blow, 'i'Uey are m tne abit of doing this, not because they a iand in want of money?far from it; e liey may be at the moment at the c eight of affluence?but simply because * las pawn-shops afford the safest, most v onvenient. and generally the best * wardrobe they can procure. Not only 1 o they obtain the advantages of this epository without payment of rent, t u: they have also the use of a certain f mount of money, wftich, as a rule, they i re able to lay out at a considerably igher interest iiian that which they s avc to allow to the pawn-broker. That * ae arrangement does not tend to the c ndue advantages oj a class of usurers, I nt really benefits the community, is I roveu by the result; for, although 'hinahas been called "the land of pawnroking," there are fewer unredeemed ledges there than in any other country, 'hus the impecunious Chinese have ^ II the advantages attaching to a pawn- * hop, with none of the inconveniences ^ rhich people in otherlands endure. * Ti;c Last of the Jltmmac. j r Tbo Llerrimac was lying off Tanner's c ;reek when the Confederates evacuated 1 iorfolk, and the orders were to run her 5 p the James River. She was lightened * ntil her iron plates no longer protect- } d her bottom, and vet she drew too i inch water for the river. She bad no v alot for any other river or harbor, a lost of her ballast was gone and it was ? ecided to destroy her. 1 The Merrimac was ran ashore on s ,'raney Island, her crew landed, and a ben Oliver, the gunner, set fire to her * nd laid a powder-train to her maga- j f ine.

Plants that Eat Animals. , We have all heard of animals that 1 sat plants, but only recently have we ! earneu ui [Jiauu* wim* aavc un auijjuaus j Jut recently, I mean within t'ue last j wentv years. That these queer plants ; lo really devour very small insects is ; sow an established fact of natural his-: ory. Iq 1860 Mr. Darwin, a man who 1 tudie3 tlieso wonderful things, and j hen very kindly publishes book-: about j phat he has learned, so that other peo-! >le may also study them, began to i lotice some curious things about these j lingular plants, and then turned his at- j ention to a study of them. He spent a j jreat many hours watching the plant3 ! md their behavior. Day after day he I vould continue, till finally he had the ; Measure of knowing so much about j he subject that he put it in a book. Many other naturalists have been i itudying these curious plants both be-' ore and since the publication cf Mr. ' Darwin's book. In New Jersey, North . Carolina, and other states, as well as in ; England, these plants are to be found, j [here are several varieties of them, but I ! have room in this article to give yon j tn account of them in only a general nanner, and very briefly at that. The leaves of these plants form a! rind of month, and this mouth the j jlants can open when they choose, j Che leaves are the lips, and inside the i nouth is a sort of throat. This throat j ixtends downward toward the body of i he plant, and has inside it a great j nany little bits of very short beard, which .re cJ j.?e together and very fnzzv. In j ;ome throats are at least two hundred of j hese little hairy bits. At the end of j ;ach of these is a sticky substance some-' rhat like common mncilage. Now. when the plant opens his mouth, i rou see the trap is already set. All he i las to do is to keep his mouth open, j 3y an accident a fir alights on the plant j -or a bng, or some other small insect -and the mo;nent it does so sticks fast o the gummy substance the plant is all he time making, and is caught. Fly )f? he cannot, and the more he tiies to nove the more he fastens himself to ;he sticky substance. The plant is now mre of a meal, for the moment a fly, a >ug, or other substance touches the hroat, the mouth of the plant begins to hut, the leave?, or lips, immediately | haca nrnv -enr*fm ctranrrla ln'm ! *> 'OVy VIVA VUV V iw o death. Then the plant eats1 the insect very ; nuch as you eat a bit of meat. The ! pay yon and I eat is this: We swallow j he food, and the stomach digests it for ! is by means of what we call gastric j uice. This gastric j nice is a sour and: jitter liquid, which cuts the food we lave swallowed up, and makes pulp of t. Then the glands of our stomachs ibsorb, or drink up, this fluid, and it joes into the blood and gives us health cd strength. In the same way Mr. Plant eats the ly or bug. A sort of sour and bitter nice starts from the leaves on the in-! iide and cuts the bug into pieces, and ] hen into a sort of a jelly; and after his the glands, of which the plant is rery full, suck this jelly or liquid up icd carry it all over the plant, and give ife and strength and vigor to all its i >arts. As soon as one insect is eaten in this i cne leaves open again and the trap ! s set for another. How many an enter- j /rising plant of average industry will i latch and devonr in a day I do not ex- j .ctly know. I suppose it depends cn i , he number of them in the air. The plants are not over particular j ,bout'heir diet, and will take beef, an;! gg, geletine, and many other things | if that natnre. At the same time, they . Lave some choice about their food, and ' rill not eat grass, starch, oil, or anything ! hat is too fatty.

Dr. W.

IlaWs Journal of ITealih, referring to Consumption, makes the following important statement: " Consumption usually begins -with a slight, dr3 :ongh in the morning, then, on going to bed, gettin? more and more frequent, with more and more ihlegm, increasing debility, thinness of flesh, shortness of breath, and quickness of pulse. In fata! cases its average course is about two years; henct the importance of arresting the disease at as early e stage as possible, and the sooner rational means ara employed for this purpose the greater the chance ol success. The disease is owing to an irritation commoiicinsr in the throat and extending to the lungs, sc that their action is interfered with, and the blood does not receive sufficient oxygen to purify it. The most marked sign of lung disease is emaciation; and the most positive indication of returning health is increase in weight." So speaks Hairs Journal of Health, and we may add that in desperate cases, and, in fact, in all cases ol Consumption, or troubles of the throat and lungs, immediate relief may be obtained and a permanent cure effected by tho use of Dr. Win. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, a medicine known for more than thirty-five years as an unfailing remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That the worst cases of Consumption have been cured by the use of Hall's Balsam has been attested to by the thousands who have used it, or have been cognizant of its wonderful remedial efficacy.
