A Butterlut Victory. By JOHN NELSON TRUMP. (eopyright. 900, by John N. Trump.3 "Vallandigham is just the man And Pugh's his right hand bower," sang Tommy Murphy as Abijah passed the Murphy gates. "Shet ep!" snapped Abijah. "Ilain't a-goin to," said Tommy and went on with the song: "To meet the abolition clan We're ready every hour." Abijah would have been glad to have stopped and shut Tommy up, but he didn't dare. lie was on his way to pay a call on Mielissa Bray and was too dressed up to take any violent exercise. Abijah Hopkins was the beau of Goshen and ia ralik abolitionist. He went to Cincinlati almost every month and hence was an authority on fashion, as his costume of that afternoon show ed. lie wore a long tailed blue coat, made with full skirts, fitting closely in the back. Under the coat was a flow ered velvet waistcoat, fastened with bulletliko pearl buttons. Ills dove col ored trousers were skin tight, with a black stripe up the side seam and held down by a strap passing under the foot. His shirt was "store bought," and he wore a high paper collar and a tie made of small colored beads woven into a ribbon with itinite pains, the work of Melissa, as was also the snaky looking watch guard, manufactured from her own hair. Abijah was proud of the tie and the guard. Personally he was not handsome. It might be said that Ils hands were too large and too red and too freckled and hung, like Ichabod Crane's, "a mile be low his coat sleeves." His face was red, too, a shade brighter than his hair, which was parted far to the left in front and "roached" toward the right in a high, sweeping billow. In the back it was parted in the middle and brushed away from the medial line to either side, where it met the front hair in little duck tails just behind his ears. And his whole head was redolent with hair oil. Abijah was a "stay at home ranger." lie hadn't enlisted and had escaped the draft. Though he was the only young man left in Goshen, he was not in demand by the girls, as might be supposed. Few people had any re spect for "stay at home rangers," and when Melissa began to go to singing school and spelling bees with Abijah people began to lose respect for her too. But Melissa knew what she was about. She was one of those girls who can't exist without some one to flirt with. Abijah passed the Murphy gate with anger In his heart. Nothing made him so mad as to hear the Butternut song. He hated Vallandigham and all his adherents, though Molly Murphy was a nice girl. To tell the truth, he was not sure which he liked best-Me lissa, the abolitionist, or Molly, the Butternut. le would have felt better could he have thrashed Tommy, but he knew better, both on account of his new clothes and on account of Molly. He wasn't going to give up his chances with the only other girl who would go out with him. Melissa cxpccted him; he was expect ed every Sunday afternoon, and she was dressed in her best to receive him. But it wouldn't do to let him know. There was a peculiar code of etiquette existent in Goshen; so when he came up the front steps she pretended to be surprised. "Why, Bljah," she said, "I'm jest that glad to see youi Won't you set down?7" He sat down and put his hat on the floor. He was awkwardly bashful. It would be useless to rep~roduce their conversation. It was about the weath er and crops and piolities. Abijah avoided the subject of the war as he had avoided the draft officers. As he was about to leave Melissa said: "Are you goin to the speakin to Mount Repose next Tuesday?7" "I 'lowed to go," said he. "Want to go 'long?" "It it den t put you out none," she answered. "You'd jest as well go as not. I'm goin to take my buggy." "All right, Bljah," she said; "I'll be ready." He put on his hat and started down the walk, "You'll have to fetch a lunch," said he as he reached the gate. "Ma's sick, and" "All right," she called after him; "I'll fix it up." Mount Repose was six miles from Goshen, on the Columbus pike, and on Tuesday Brough, the abolition candi date for governor, was to speak. Evl erybody was going, and Abijah felt proud to think that he would have a girl along even if he hadn't been to the wan and got wounded. He walked with his head up till he reached the Murphy gate. He looked for Tommy, but Tommy had disappeared. Molly was leaning over the gate, and Abijal1 stopped to speak to her. She was con siderate of his feelir.gs and had put away her badge made of the cross see tion of a butternut when she saw 1h1im comning. All Butternuts wore badges of that sort, and the abolitionists felt It their duty to destroy all such em blems of opposition. "Evenin, Molly," said Abijah, as he halted at tile gate. "How are' you, Blijah?" said she. "Goin to the speakin Tuesday?" "Yep," saidl he, resting his toot on the lower hinge and dusting his trou sers with his cane. "Who with?" she asked. "I 'lowed to take Melles," said he. "Why ?' "I wanted to go awfully," she .an Swered, frowning prettily. "I'm Sorry I hain't got a carriage," maid ho, flushing a deeper red as he though~t of his next words. "But if >. you don't mind, and Meliss don't, you can go in tile buggy with- us." "I don't mind," said Molly, not blush iag in the least, "and I'll ask Meliss." She hadn't forgottenl thie provaillng fashion in feminine attire, but she thought, biy exercising piroper care, two ~uid ride in a single b~uggy at a pinch. Abijah was the only chance.'anud she, It wouiLi give hi ill an excuset to (.il again aitt holh incs, at t ie Brays' N get lel issi's opiliotn alid at the Mur, phys' 1t1 tell Mtlily.

But sli didn't get it. Molly leaped I to her feet as quickly as her skirts would allow her to resent the insult, and, raising her green -silk parasol, i smote Melissa on her chignon of artI - ficlal hair, thereby breaking the wea). on. 'llen Mielissa tried to slap her ad L versary, and Iin dodging Molly went backward over- the bench behind her. That put an end to hostilities. The scene can be imia'glned better than de7 scribed. Abijah turned away, and Mrs. Meyer assisted the prostrate girl to,ber I feet and declared an iarmistlee. But the speech went on unheard. Every body was laughing -too much to-isten; everybody exeR'pt *Abijah. Ile didn't - laugh; he was too worribd. "I'm a dum1b fool," said hle to his 1 aunt Maria when the girls had gone to seprate houses to repair damages.. I "I'l a (umbl) fool to take a Butternut t and an abolitionist out-together. - Dumb ed if I krfow which to take home." "Take Meliss," said Mrs. Maria. "Course I'd ruther take Meliss," Abijah answered. "But. I can't well git outei takin Molly. And I dursen't - take 'em both." C "Won't Will Hanson take Molly?" suggested his aunt. "Ile used to spalk - her;" t "They've fel'o.it,"lllecdmplained, "Well, there's Ben. ie' come alone, 3 and he can't drive good with a bullet in his itII. Let limi take one of 'em.". S"Ile won't have Molly, and Meliss won't go with. hini if le is an abolition Ist itnd got wounded. She said- so. r Mebbe he would take Molly, thougli." "All right. You ask him," said Mrs. Maria. "Now, look here, .iijah rlIp kinis. 1. want.you to talk. to Melss 'bout the way she acted. 'Twau't lady like." "Don't eare," said he. "Molly hadn't oughter lilt her with that umbrell'." "You talk to her, anyway."* Pa'scall in me. I got to go." Abijah's mind was full of very seri ous thoughts fis lie backed the pony be tWeeni the s-hafts. Ile guessed lie had better talk to Melissa, but lie would have to be careful how lie talked. She was dangerous. On the whole, he be lieved lie liked Molly -best. She was more <ilet, and then the pie she had 11111(10 beat MeliViSL's all hollow. Just as lie fastened the last bucklel lie saw Melissa Bray coming towardl himLI in a borrowed hat, and lie turned to hear what she had to say. "I jest wanted to tell you, Bijah," said she, "that I wouldn't trouble you to see nie home." "Who're you guln with?" lIe asked. "Ben's goin to take me," she said. "He come alone." Abijah said nothing, but after she had gone and climbed in beside Ben he t thought some more and shook his head over his thoughts. .lelIssa had done - Just what she said she wouldn't 10, e and le would have Molly to sit with him in the buggy. If he wasn't a But s ternut, why, then 3 "I'll do it," lie muttered as she came, 3 out and got II with him1. s She gave him Just the sweetest sort - of smile and never mentioned the af fair until lie spoke first. But they had1 gone some way before he spoke at all, r and it was not until they had passed a the first tollgate that lie found his' t voice. !i "You hadn't oughiter done that way, Molly," said lie. ""'wasn't nice." - "SheI han' no buiesryntotk -my- badge," said Molly. "Mebbe not," said he, "but you s hladnI't oughiter lilt her with the umn I broil'." t "I'm sorry I done it, Bijalt," she an I swered, looking ruefully at the demnol r ished parasol. "But she tried to hit' me afterward1." - "I1 know she did1"-he blushed at the -thought of the scene--"and I'll tell her 1 so." "I hain't never goin to speak to her a again," said Moflly determnedly. "You won't even say you're so~ry?" "No. I wonl'L. But'ltely, B jahi," she said, looking into his race. Abijah didn't know whiat to say, so I he kept <quiet until they were almost I. within sigh: of' hiome. Then lie decided it was-timie to sp~eak(. t "I wlsht you wan't a Butternut, Mol ly,"' he said. She look'd at him again and begant -to sing softly: 'i had a dIream tie other night~ When all was clear and stiul; I dreant i saw v'allund~iam ' Go sliding down a hill." An abolitionist song, and Abijah was begliinig to uiidrs':awl. "Trheni you've czianged your mind?'" hie askedl. "Mebbe," said she so low he could scarcely hear her. "Ihave you changed yours?" "About what?" "About Meliss. Do you like her like .you used1 to?" "Molly," said he, ignoring her ques -ion. "you and1( me's -heen knowvin e~ 'hzi other a long time. I know I ain't hand-4 sonie, but if you'll" "Course I will, Bhjah," shie whisper-i ;ed, leaning close to him.. J And the Buttern'ut had scored one. Marketing of Range Cattle, I In figuring on the cattle situation it Imust niot be forgotten that the ranges have been swep~t pretty clean during 1the past two years, says The National Stock man. Trheire are comparatively . ew steers above 2-year-elds to como .from the ranges this year, and the (marketing of' cows , "1 heifers will in all probability continue a- be limited. The ranges are down closer to their ac 'turd surplus yearly produc -ion than they have been for many a yo.etr. There are no reserves from previous years in the round ups nowadays. They have all been cleaned out by high prices, Cowpens on Corn Ln.d There has been much written on the subject of oowpeas lately, but too much cannot be said in praise of this great friend of.:the southern farmer.

Starviig Natives of' lndia, With Mit tioni ol Cattle at Hand, Daro Not Iat Beel . In large districts of I ndia to-day milions of cattle could not be sold for fifty cents a head. The country, yel low and parebed, has been turned into a desert by the failure of the Monsun raine. There are gr-ass lands and fod der in other parts of India, but the por animals are too weak to be driven to them, even if there were cat tie buyers to take them away : so tLcy dio like flies, succumbing to starvation far more quickly than their owners. The thought has never occurred to tbe 35,UCO,000 Indian peasantry now suffer ing from hunger that the cattle would have been a food resource to tide them over the months of crop failure. They have plenty of cattle. Among all the animals of India the various breeds of horned and humped cattle hold the first place. They are the di-aft animals in the little field of the poorest peas ant. All the transportation of the in land roads depends upon them. The house that has not its cow is in the direst povert.y. Suppose these natives, when the signs pointed unmistakably to a sea son of crop failure, had cured under their hot sun many thousand tons of beef by bun-drying, as jurked beof is prepared in Soutb Ainerica, Indescrib able suffering and thousands of lives would have been saved ;but the ver-y Idea of making such provisions as this ageinust the hor-rors of fainen would be inexpressibly shocking to the 150,000, 000 people of India, who hase their religious beliefs upon the Vedas. They would never dream of such a pro fanation of the teachings of Brahmiln ism. They would rather swallow dirt, andl gnaw rtoots than eat bee f, an d yect, they arec not strict, vegetarians, for all oat butter anti milk, and also fish andi mutton when they can pr-ocure themi. The Hindlus arid those who shar-e with themn their religious beliefs are just what hist.or-y tells us their fathers were three and twenty centuius aigo. The highest law thvt concerns the IIlindu is tto eat cor-rectly and beef is one of the proscr-ibed foods ; so w ithb this. food resource in every far-myar-d, prized highly, as it Is, by most of the world, the Hindu dies of hunger rathber thban partake of it,. These facts are pecrhaps as Impressive an iflustration as can be given of the profount Ilu ence which relIgIous injunction anud custom have upon the habits, tastes and pr-ejud ices, and consequently upon the cotumer-ce of whole natitons. The value of t'ast Indian cattle for food has been amply demnonstirated. The 57,000,000 Mohammedans living in 1India have no qualms or scruples about. heef eating. Some years ago we i-cad almost daily for a time of bloodshed between th4 Mohammedans and [in - des of Northwest India. Boof was t-he cause of thbe incipient warfare. Tne Hindu neighbors of the Moslems die cided that thb ir feelings had been out, raged too long by the r-epugnant spec tacle of cattle shambles and beef eat inug. They resolved to put. an~ end t~o ti~em, but the undertaking was tooI large for the comnmarativoly small number of zealots who eongaged in it. fn this vast region, so densely pop'u fated that the spectre of famine is not far- away oven in years of plenty, no meats are impor-ted except for iiiurot pean consumption. If there Is a pari thal failure of r-ice, wheat, umaize, bar Iey or the indigenous gr-ains on whfich the laborer- lives starvation beg ius at once ; and so while fndia sells to the world every year from $250,000J,000 to i*3504000,000 worth of products, and buys about three-fourths as much as she sells, her purchases are almost wholly textiles, machinery, railroad materIal and coal, even wh-n hunger stalks abroad ; and the main ruitson why the great evIl of famine is not averted or mitigated by food imports is because the rel1igiou-s tenets of most of the people cointine them to the few ci-eals they raIse themselves as the mainstay of life. In one respect,, how ever-, religioues prejuidico Is a blessing to the country. It is to the lasting shame of some modern nations that they destroy thousands of barbar-ous or semi-civlized men and women by selling them poison In the form of the p ur-st qualitiles of alcoholic llquor-s; butt they find no market for their fiery gin and forty-rod among the hundireds of millions of tst Indians, because Islam thbroughout the world is a vast teetotal society, and among the [lie due to touch liquor is a sign of thbe lowest caste.
