__ inauthip.
y Over in South San Francisco, beyond
the smells of Butchertown, there is a lit
tle wild west show in session nearly
every afternoon in the year. Anywhere
from 3 to 6 o’clock p. m. the cowboys
drive the city’s daily beef in on the hoof
from the corrals on the hills where too
steers recuperate from their long ride in
__ BESCUINO A COMRADE,
the not over luxurious cattle cars pro
vided by the railroads. California eoi(
has become too valuable to grow beef on
of late years, and Arizona, Texas and
the few remaining Territories now fur
nish its standard meat. From the foot
of Second street, where the live steers
land, they are taken in hand by the cen
taurs in the employ of the wholesale
butchers and driven to the big feed cor
rals on the hills just west of the road to
Uuele Tom’s cabin. Here they are baited
and rested and cooled oil for a few day)
before going to execution, dissection,
the oven, pot or broiler, and the table.
From the corrals to the slaughter houses
the distance is a couple of miles, mainly
through the main business artery of South
San Francisco, which said artery is much
broken by vacant lots that allow frisky
steers to escape to the surrounding hills.
The boys who conduct the transpor
tation are nearly all Americans, says a
writer in the San Francisco Examiner,
and their pride iu their horsemanship
prompts many an antic and daring feat
to delight the audience that daily as
sembles to witness the JlQvin?s’ funeral
march to the shamij!^ Without money
and without price the on-lookers witness
feats of riding that would make splendid
extras on Buffiffio Bill's programme. Some
of their dij.f C devil gallops over the
broken hi III in chase of a stray bullock
are exciting j n the extreme, beside af-
fording opportunity for feats with thq
ah'u a display of hurling powers on
the part of the horses. When the drovq
is orderly the hoys lose their hats, am]
pick them up from the saddle while their
horses are on the run, and resort to scores
of other tricks that tend to show thei(
cleverness. Tiro dark-hued native Calii
fornian no longer shines pre-eminent icj
cattle handling, throwing the lasso and
riding the trustworthy mustang; young
California, the son of the 40-er, has
learned his business and beats him at his
own gome. The commonly accepted
reason for this is the preponderance oi
nerve, coolness, strength and dare-devil
recklessness in the American stock, and
certain it is that the past fifteen years lias
teen the Mexican and Spaniard displaced
by the sobs of the present holders of the
country.
An Examiner reporter and a cimera.
snap-shot expert toured South San Fran-!
cisco yesterday and viewed some of the
work of the more notable of the south-
end Taqueros. Billy Roche, Frank
Ranlett. Billy Smith, the quartet of Day
Brothers, “Bloke” Harney,George Jinks,
Grant Pyle, Frank Pate, Tom O'Day,
Jack Lilian! and a hundred other experts
were out, but all were too busy with
their everyday duties to stop to talk or
illustrate their tricks of rope and saddle.
Fred. Baascr, a smooth faced lad, who
was born hero a score of years ago and
has been in the saddle ever since, had
an off day, however, and consented to
show off a little for the benefit of the
Examiner's commissioners. He had just
completed the education of a handsome
three-year-old filly with teaching her to
stand and keep a riata taut while he
dismounted and removed the rope from
the horns of an imaginary steer.
“It is handy to know how to get on a
horse quick,” he began, when the ca
mera was in focus. “Most of the boys
do it this way.” His left hand touched
the pommel and the bridlo reins at the
same time; the right reached for the can-
♦el. Biddy, the filly, started forward,
and with her first jump Baaser made a
spring resembling the flight of a bird.
He landed with his right leg well across
the saddle, and by the time Biddy had
.gathered herself for the second jump th»
rider was in his seat, both feet in the
atirrups and prepared to rope a cow, stop
a runaway or head oil an unruly steer.
“Some of the boys jump on from be
hind,” said Baaser, “but they are well
acquainted with their horses and know
that they will submit to it. The major
ity of them take the side jump, though,
even when they are behind their horses,
for they are ready for business sooner,
and jumping with the horse is less hin
drance to his getting under way tluci
plumping solidly down on his back when
he is not looking or expecting it.
Throwing a rope comes next after learn
ing to ride. After becoming a fair marks
man, with plenty of room to swing in
and the horns of a steer for a target,
there are the underhand casts and tho
throws with the rope on a trail (without
a swing), to master, besides two or three
others that a vnquero finds use for in var
ious emergencies. The cast with tho
rope on a trail is cspeciatly useful in a
corral picking up a horse who might, if
alarmed by a swing, give a man on foot
a tiresome chase.”
Baaser illustrated the cast from a trail
by walking Biddy slowly in the direction
of a browsing cow with the loop of his
riata trailing behind him. Suddenly
bis right arm shot forward from its
backward extension, and the rawhide
thong whiz/.cd through the air until it
settled its snaky coil about the neck of
the astonished old cow, twenty feet
away. After bringing her to a halt
Baaser dropped his riata, and let the
cow start off with it at a trail.
“I dropped that on purpose,” he said,
“but a man often loses his rope through
accident, and then it becomes necessary
to be able to recover it without dis
mounting. If a man got of! to pick it
op it would never be within his reach
on account of the movements of the ani
mal to which it is attached. This is the
wajjto pick up a rope.”
Eaas.r started Biddy after the fast dis
appearing cow, turned her and headed
her back for the focus of the camera.
“Now!” he yelled as he da.hed by on a
hard run, and with a wild swoop he
reached with his left hand for the trail
ing riata. His only hold it seemed was
by the compression of his right heel
against the face of the saddle cantel and
a light grip on a wisp of Biddy’s main.
Almost before he was down he was up
again, taking a turn around the horn
and checking Biddy. She braced her-
cclf, the rope tautened, and the galloping
cow came to a bait with an unpleasant
suddenness that would have thrown her
CIS HORSE IS HIS FORT.
down but for Baaser's letting out a
little slack at the critical moment.
“Now, if this was a tough old steer
with a disposition to be ugly, I should
probably want help in throwing him
down and getting the rope off, bet with
a cow Biddy's aid will prove sufficient."
The intelligent little filly braced herself,
bead onto the cow, and followed her
every movement, without allowing tho
rope to slacken an inch while B laser
jumped off and wnikel up to the cow's
head and slipped off the noose.
"The pickup is very useful,” said the
young vnquero, “and in more ways than
one. If I lose my hat I can recover it
without loss of time. See!” and he
tossed his sombrero to the ground, rode
off a little way and recovered it on tho
run with the same marvelous swoop as
before.
“They say that some of the boys catch
jack rabbits out on the plains,but I never
saw them do it, for my work has been
mainly confined to Butchertown, and we
don't have jackrabbits over here There
is a dog that I’ll practice bo, though,an 1
you ctci get an idea of how it is done.”
A small kiyi was chasing down the
road at the time, and Baaser took after
him. The tcirier was elusive for a time,
ItEMVBRtNO A DROPPED HAT.
but finally kept on in a straight line, and
in an instant Baaser was alongside. He
had to make a wide retch this time aud
there was a foot of daylight between his
body and Biddy's side when he clutched
doggy by the ears and nape of the neck
end swung him into the saddle.
The next exhibition was of tho hone's
intelligence ia keeping a taut rope on a
steer that turnci ugly anl pursued the
horse and his rider. Tho bracing was
perfect and the manipulation of the rope
in keeping the steer's head turned to
ward the rest of the herd in spite of her
plunging excited much admiration foi
Biddy. A similar exhibition was given
of towing a sulky steer that refused tc
be driven or prodded in the right direc
tion.
Baaser confessed that he had never
been in an Indian country, and had not
^experience Infighting on the run,but
he was familiar with the tricks of some
of the boys who had, and illustrated
them. The romre^eest piece of work in
this line is shooting* mdw the horse’s
neck while lying extended ia such a
manner as to have the body almost en
tirely protected from bullets of an en
emy in front or oa the side. Either
rifle or pistol can be effectively handled
by a clever rider in this manner. Pick-

ing up a wounded or dismounted com
rade at full gallop is an easy matter when
the rider knows how to do it. The fa
vorite grip is over the back and under
the arms, and with horse and rider ia
accord a rescue of this kind is effected
without slackening of pace for an in
stant.
The tricks of the Butchertown boys
with wild cattle and broncho horses r.rs
countless, and an hnur’s wild west enter
tainment cau be secured by a trip to the
southern hills any afternoon.
A Japanese Pillow.
The head-dress is a most elaborate af
fair, built on a foundation of cardboard,
which is blackened; tho hair being
passed over it, is then smoothed down
and well oiled, and into it they put flow
ere, combs, fancy pins end other small ar
ticles intended to heighten their personal
attractions. The result is frequently au
artistic triumph. It is a tedious process
and perhaps for this reason habit ha*
taught them to sleep without soft pillows;
instead of which they use a round piece
of wood, like a rolling-pin, about eight
inches long, supported on two wooden
feet, and with a hollow for the neck to
lie in; so by these means the ladies ars
able to leave their hair untouched for
several days, as at night it does not be
come at all disarranged; and for that
consideration, of course, they can recon
cile themselves t* its use.’—Illustrated

morning in buckets of dew—clean, sweet,
God provided edibles. But now the Israel
ites have taken tho last bit of it in their
fingers, and put the last delicate morsel of it
to their lips. They look out, and there is no
manna. Why this cessation of heaveuix
supply? It was because the Israelites in
nrnved in Canaan, and th^y ameded the
breath of tho harvest fields, and
the ciowdod barns of tho country
were thrown open to thorn. Ali the
inhabitants had fled, ami in the name of the
ix>rd of Hosts, the Israelites took possession
of everything. Weil, the threshing floor is
c-h’ai ©d, fho corn is scattered over it, the oxen
are brought around in lazy and periadual
circuit until the Corn is trampled loose; then
it is winnowed with a fan, and it is ground
and it is baked, nml, lo! there is enough
bread for all the worn out host. “And the
manna ceased on the morrow' after they had
calon of the old corn of the land.”
Prom among the mummies of Egypt and
Canaan have been brought grains of corn,
exactly like our Indian corn, and recently
planted, they have produced the same kind
of corn wilh which wo are familiar. 8o I
am not sure winch kind of grain iny text re
fers to, but all the same is the meaning.
The bisection of this subject leads me.
first, to speak of especial relief for especial
emergency; and, secondly, of the old corn of
tho Gospel for ordinary circumstances.
If these Israelites crossing the wilderness
had not received bread from the heavenb
bakeries there would first have been a loni
liueof dead children half buried in the sand.
Then there would have been a long line oi
dead women waiting for the jackals. Then
there would have been a long lino of dead
men unburied, because there would havt
been no one to bury them. It would have
been told in the history of the world that a
great company of good people started out
from Egypt for Caiman and were never heard
of—as thoroughly Just iu tho wilderness of
sand as the City of Boston and tho President
were lost in the wilderness of waters. What
use was it to them that there was plenty of
corn in Caiman or plenty of corn in Egypt?
What they wanted was something to eat
right there, where there was not so much as
n grass blade—in other words an especia;
supply for an especial emergency. That is
what some of you want. The ordinary com
fort, the ordinary direction, tlio ordinary
counsel do not so**ni to meet your case.
There are those m Iio feel that they must
have on omnipotent and immediate supply,
and you shall have it.
Is it pain and physical distress through
which yon must go? Does not Jesus know
ail about pain? Did He not suffer it iu the
most sensitive part of head and hand and
foot? He has a mixture of comfort,one drop
of which shall cure the worst paroxysm. It
is the same grace that soothed Robert Hall
when, after writhing on ihe carpet in phys
ical tot luns, he cried out, “Oil suffered
terribly, but I d*dn‘t cry out while I was
suffering, did I? Did I cry out?” There is
no such nurse as Jesus—His hand the gentlest,
His fool the lightest, His arm the strongest.
For especial pang especial help.
Is it approaching sorrow? fg it long,
shadowing bereavement that you know is
coming, because the breath is short, and
the voice is faint, aiH the cheek is pale?
Have you lieen calculating your cnpacity or
incapacity to endure widowhood or child
lessness or a di.sbanded homo and cried: “1
cannot endure it?’’ Oil, worried soul, you
will wake up amidst all your troubles and
find around about you the sweet consolation
of the Gospel ns th ckly strewed as was the
manna around about the Israedtish encamp
ment! Especial solace tor especial distress.
Or is it a trouh'e past, yet present? A
silent tuirscry ? A vacant chair opposite you
at the table? A musing ui*on a broken fam
ily circle never again to be uiiitt*;? A chok
ing sense of loneliness? A blot of grief so
large that it extinguishes the light of sun,
and puts out bloom of tlower, and makes you
reckless as to whether you live or die? Es
pecial conbort that osjiec.al trial. Your ap
petite has failed for everything else. On,

happy now than when for the first time they
saw their names favoraby irontione 1. They
cannot analyze or define their feelings; but I
will tell them what is the matter—they are
hungry for the old coni of the Gospel. That
you must have, or bo pinched and wan and
winded and hollow-eyed and shriveled up
with an eternity of famine.
•’be infidel scientists of this day are offer
ing us a differ ut kind of soul fo-xl; bn they
are, of all men. the most miserable. I hav»
known many of them; but I tiever knew one
of them who came within a thousand miles
of l»eing happy. Tho great John Stewart
Mill provided lor himself A new kind of por
ridge; but yet, when he comes to nie, he ac
knowledges that his philosophy never gave
him any comfort in days of bereavement, an I
in a roundabout way he admits that his life*
was a failure. So it is with ail infidel scien
tists. They are trying to live on telet»cope>
ami crucibles and protoplasms, an I they
chargeur with cant, not realizing that there
is no such intolerable cant in all the world as
this perpetual talk we are hearing about
"positive philosophy,” and “ the absolute,”
and “the great to be,” aud “the everlasting
no.” aud “the higher unity," nud “the
latent potentialities,” aud “the cathedral ol
the immensities.” I have l»een translating
what these men have been writing, nud 1
have been translating what they have been
doing, and 1 will tell you what it all means-
it means that they want to kill God! Ami
my only Wonder is that Oml has not killed
them. I have in other daj’s tasted oi their con
fections, and 1 come back and tell you to-day
that there is no nutriment or life or health in
any thing but the bread ma le out of the old
corn of tho Gospel. What do I mean by
that? I mean that Christ is the bread of
life, and taking Him, you live and live for
ever.
But, you say, corn is of but little practical
um) unless it is threshed and ground and
baked. I answer: This Gospel corn has gone
through that process. When on Calvary all
the hoofs of human scorn came down on th*
heart of Christ, and all the flails of satanb
fury beat Him Ion; and fast, was not the
corn threshed? When tho millsof God’s in
dignation against sin caught Christ between
the upper and nether rollers was not the
corn ground? When Jesus descended into
hell, and the flames of the lost world wrapped
Him all about, was not the corn baked? Oh,
yes! Christ is ready; His pardon all ready;
HIr peace all roaly; everything ready in
Christ. Are you ready for Him?
You say: “That is such a simple Gospel.”
I know it is. You say you thought religion
was a strange mixture of elaborate com
pounds. No; it is so plain that any apece-
flai ian may understand it. In its simplicity
is its power. If you could this morning re
alize that Christ died to save from sin and
death and hell not only your minister, and
your neighbor, and your lather, and your
child, but you, it would make this hour like
the judgment day for agitations, and, no
longer able to keep your sent, you would
leap up crying: “For me! for me I” God
grant that you, my brother, may see this
Gosjiel with your own eyes, and hear it with
your own cars, and feel with your own heart
that you are a lost soul, but that Christ
comes for your extrication. Can you not
take Hint truth and digest It, and make it a
part of your immortal life? It is only bread.
Yon have noticed that invalids cannot
take all kinds of food. The food that will
do for one will not do for another. There
are kinds of food which will produce, in
cases of invalidism, very speedy death.
But you have noticed that all persons, how
ever weak they may be, can take bread.
Oh, soul sick with sin, invalid in your
transgressions, I think tliis Gospel * will
agree wit i you! I think if you cannot take
anything else you can take this. Lost —
found! Hunkcn — raised? Condemned —
pardoned! Cast out—invited in! That is
the old corn of the Gospel.
You have often seen a wheel with spokes
of different colors, and when the wheel was
rapidly turned ail the colors blended into a
rainlniw of exquisite beauty. I wish I
could U»-day, take the peace, and the life,
and the joy and glory of Christ, and turn
them before your soul with such speed and
such strength that you would be enchanted
with the revolving splendors of that name
which is altove every name—the name writ
ten once with tears of exile an I in Mood of
martyrdom, but m ritten now in burnished
crown, and lifted sceptre, and transangelic
throne.
There Is another characteristic about
bread, and that is, you never get tired of it.
There are people here seventy years of age
who find it just as appropriate lor their ap
petite as they did when, in boyhood, their
mother cut a slice of it clear around the loaf.
You have not got tired of bread, and that is
a characteristic of the Gospel. (fid Christian
man. are you tired of Jesus? If so, let us
take His name out of our Bible, and let us
with pen and ink erase that name wherever i
we see it. Let us cast it out of our hvinno-
logy, and let “There is a Fountain” and
•R«H k of Ages ’ go into forgetfulness. l*t
us tear down thocommuuiou table where we
celebrate His love. Let us dash down the
baptismal 1k>v/1 where we were consecrated to
Him. I^el us hurl Jesus from our heart, and
ask some other hero to come in. J^et us say,
“Goaway, Jesus I want another companion,
another friend, than Thou an.” Could you
do it? The years of your pas*, life, aged man.
would utter a protest against it, and the
graves of your Christian dead would charge
you with lieing an ingrate, anl your little
grandchildren would say: “Grandfather,
don’t do that. Jesus is the one to whom we
>-ay our prayers at night, and who is to open
heaven when we die. Grandfather, don't do
that.” Tire*I of Jesus! Th© Hnrjtindtr
.you (muck irom me gnnten is nor. soire.su an»i
fair and bi auliriil. Tired of Jesm-? As well
get weary of the spring morning and the
voices of the mountain nnpicl, ami the quiet
of your own home, and the gladness of your
own children. Jesus is bread, and the ap*
indite ter that is never obliterated.
Do not talk to mo about a man being
doubtful about the doctrines of grace. Hen
notdoubtiul to me at all. Bread is bread,
ami I know it the moment I see it. I had a
cornfield which I cultured with my owe
hand. I did not ask once in all the summer:
“is this corn?” I did not hunt up the Afjri-
cutturist to get a picture of corn. I was born
in sight of a cornfield and I know all about
it. When these Israelites came to Canaan
ami looked off upon the fields the cry was:
“Corn! corn!” And if a man has once tasted
of this heavenly bread he knows it right
away. He can tell this corn of the gospel
(.’anaan from “the chaff which the wind
driveth away.” I bless God so many hav«
found this Gospel corn. It is tho bread ol
which, if a man eat, he shall never hunger.
I set the gladness of your soul to the tunes of
“Ariel” and “Antioch.’' I ring the wedding
bells, for Christ and your soul are married,
and there is no power on earth or in hell to
get out letters of divorcement.
But alas for tho famine struck! Enough
corn, yet it seems you have no sickle to cut
it, no mill to grind it, no fire to bake it, no
appetite to eat it Starving to death when
the plain is golden with a magnificent har
vest !
1 rode some thirteen miles to see the Alex
ander, a large steamship that was beadlied
near Soulhimpton, L. 1. It was a splendid
vessel. I walked up and down the decks
and in the cabins I said: “What a pity that
this vessel should go to pieces, or be lying
here idle.’’ The coast wreckers had spent
fcj0,000 trying to get her off, and t hey suc
ceeded once; hut she came back again
to the old place. While I was walk
ing on deck every part of tho vessel
trembled with the beating of the surf on
one side. Since th in I heard that that ves
sel, which whs worth hundre is of thousands
of dollars, was sold for $.'1500. and knocked
to pieces. They had given up the idea of
getting her to sell again. How suggestive
all that is to me! There are those here who
are aground in religious things. Once you
started for heaven, but you are now aground.
►Several times it was thought you liad started
again heavenward, but you soon got back to
the old place, and there is not much prospect
you will ever reach the harbor of the blessed.
God’s wreckers, I fear, will pronounce j ou a
hopeless case. Beached for eternity! Ami
then it will be written in heaven concerning
some one of your size, and complexion, and
age, and name, that he was invited to be
saved, but refused the offer, and starved to
death within sight of the iieldi and granaries
full of the old corn of Canaan.

fEDSONAL SUMMER WORK.
tt is a mistake to regard the season when
hit n are in Ihe Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation moms as the best time for personal
work. The summer season, with the out
door sports, rambles, camps, etc., furnishes
opportunity for a Christian worker to have
many a quiet talk with friends on religious
subjects.
Onentimes the silence of a forest camp,
the quietness of an evening hour, or the re
action of an exciting game will contribute to
a state of mind whl h makes men approach
able and eonlidential. A 4 tudy of the out
door personal work of onr I,ord would b«
rich in example aud suggestive to men who,
In the rec eatlons of the summer, are, like
Him, going “about doing good.”
If we would only use them there might
be ninny rambling'clouds wbieh would be,
in spirit, a walk to Emmaus where men
wou’d say, “Did not our hearts burn wiihin
us, while he talked with us by the way;’’
many seasons of praysr in Ihe mountain,
end so on. Th* motto for the summer;
and all other times, abou'd he. “As we
have opportunity let us do good to all men.”

ntit or rne livino cuhtjt.
ITe miss a large part of the substance of
the Gospel which we have to deliver to all
fllen if we tell them nothing more than th*
story of His earthly ministry. AYe have not
tn give men merely a sy-tem of ethics con
structed from the teaching Of Christ and
from the example of His perfect life; we
have to tell them that Christ lives, that He
is the King of the human rsce, and that to
submit to His personal authority is the first
and supreme duty of every man, and the
condition of nil perfection.
We have not merely to teach s great sve-
tem of theological 'truth founded on the
earthly ninnifeslntion of f>od in Christ, and
on all (lint Christ, taught concerning the
Father; we have lo tell them that Christ
lives, and that they are to find the living God
in Him. We have not to te-ch men a mere
method of salvation revealed hv Christ eight
een centuries avo—a method by which, if
they understand it and use it, they can save
ihemselves.
The Christian method of salvation is the
method by which Christ Himselfsavesmen;
and we h ive to tell them that Christ is alive
—that from Ills own lips they are to receive
the pardon of sin, and that fr.m His own
volition they nre to receive the gift of eter
nal life. Wilh a dead Christ—a Christ be
longing tn a remote age of human history,
and not able and eager to save men now—
tiie Christian method of salvation would be
worthless. It all depends on Him.—Rev.
Dr. Dale.
A BRAVE MATT.
The following incident fold by Mr. Frank
Fmilh. deserves repeating for the benefit of
those who did not hear It: A freight con
ductor, w ho was converted at one of the
Services held hy Mr. Smith in Chicago, eon-
Cludcd (hat ns a Christian man he would
have family prayers, and not having a home
of his own resolved to have them In his
caboose. So lie talked to bis train crew
six ut it and they expressed their willingness
to join w ith him. and therefore it became an
established thing that at a oertain point on
their run where from the nature of the rosd
Ihe train did not need much attention, that
they should gather in the caboose while the
conductor would read from tho Bible and
lend i:i prayer.
Their run was a “stock” run, and so they
often hail a number of stock men In the
raboose with them. On one of these occa
sions, when th* caooose was well filled with
these men, smoking, swearing and telling
their not very choice stories, It came the ap
pointed time for family prayers. Onr
friend, the conductor, was tempted surely
to pass by hi* duly at this time, hut he did
tint, hut with true courage greater than that
of Diany a man In facing the cannon’s
month in Ihe thick of linltle, he took out his
Bllde, saying to tho men in Ihe ear, “Oentle-
nion. we are accustomed at this point in our
run to have family prayers together, and if
you have no objections’ we will proceed as
nstivl.” They made no objections ami the
brave conductor read from God’s Word and
kneeled and prayed ns usual, and after he
was through, one of the stock men, taking
him hy Ihe hand, said, “Well, you are the
bravest man 1 ever saw.”—fib.

The Memorable Hamiltoii-Burr Duel.
On July 11, 1801, Aaron Burr shot
Alexander Hamilton in a duel on Wcc-
hawken Heights. On June 27 Mr. Pen
dleton, for Hamilton, called on Mr. Van
Ness, representing Colonel Burr, with a
paper which Van Ness declined to receive.
This paper represented an earnest en
deavor on Hamilton’s part to avoid a
meeting. One passage read, “Mr. Pen
dleton is authorized to say, that in the
course of the present discussion, written
or verbal, there has been no intention to
evade, defy or insult, but a sincere dis
position to avoid extremities if it could
be done with propriety. With this view
Genera! Hamilton has been ready to enter
into a frank and free explanation on any
and every object of a specific nature.”
Hamilton died the 12th. His remains
are buried in Trinity churchyard. Tho
