Early Englush cattle. 'he story of the coiiquest and holding o( land by the deecendents of Bos Urns is c that of the first chapters of the history Euglaid' for the Celtic oxi poor longi. ions, was driven, with his master, to des .ert reglon4 beyond the reach of the irresist .ible English. There is an eple grandeur in the story. of these herds, evem of the, tWmc species ; but the wild creatures; roaming in the great fotests,'pndove' the . plaits, fas cinate our'faney, ' likb the horseq of the Ukraine, or the taineless North American bison, nevter domesticated by man, and which are too surely, as Aloxandre 1mias described them Ia one of his daring sihliles, "vanishing in the mist." That los Ijrus hnself existed in historic times-in the East and in Southern Europe, but not in Brjton,-whereisltorio times begin so much lqter-is not so pleasent'to think of except that the men were probably as wild as the beasts, at a period when, as Mr. Storpr in. forms us, "Mount H1omus, the Carpathians, running through the middle of Europe, and the llyreinian Forest, stretching from those ahmost through Gerniany, an connecting them with other hountain ranges, we're the formidable brutes favorite hanntsf'from Soythia, Sarmatia and the Black Sea, to Denimark and the shores of the Northern Ocean, everywhere we find him." - le lived after tie fail of tile Roman Empire and through the Middle Ages, although his range was greatly circumscribed, und he did not become fluially extinct until the six teenth century. From the animals 'of his race by which the Celtic ox was driven to the highlands of those regions afterward called Scotland and Wales are descended the ancient British herds of white cattle, whether wild or domesticated, the "old no bility" of their kind, perfectly extinct from the ordinary cattle of our dairies anSI our markets, everywhere alike i color (so vari able and fleeting among domestic animals), of which herds a few still remain, and others are but recently extinct. Mr. Storer wps of opition that all Waitto Cattle lre probably 6f the-aboriginal breed-thalt Bos Urus himself was wVyhit-alnld in anl interest ing dissertation on the estimation in which white animals were held by the ancients and the modern prejudice agnlitist them, lie quotes a passage from thle writings of M,. Mol. and Onyot deserlptive of the beautiful Hungarian ox, which might be applied, without alteration, to the famous white herds at Chillinghlam and Chartley :-"'A certain air of nobility, a very striking as p,,pt, are shown in the whole of its struc tic and cach movement disi)latys vigor ,and activity. In the lofty carriage of its icad,. 1 its proud shape, in its look, so open and full of courage, we se(! clearly that the Hungarian cattle descend from the .ancient race which inhabited these plains, whose extent nto eye cail embrilce ; that. they do not only descend from, but areI tlhe continuation of it." According to Profes sor Wrightson, the majestic I Iigarialn ox -which is white, with at shading of gray on the neck, flanks aid buttocks ; the ear dark, shaded inside ; tile horis long, wide spreading and tipped with bilac ; the muzzle, skin round the eye, the eye itself and the feet all black-is a hrger type of the wild cattle of Chillinghal Park ; and Mr. Storer holds that tile I lungarian cattle, those of the vast lislln steppes 1111d our own wild white forest breed, are lineal representatives of the ancient Urus iwhich existed in tl'- bronze age, but of Which there is no trace among the molern domes tic races of West~rn Continental Europe.

Tun Czlhr4'IEanAMr WIr.'I CA'I'Ie. At the let of the ChIllingham, Englatid, grass parks, the company by the kind permission of the Earl of Tankerville, had tile pleasure of inspecting a ile ypuig btl iIlIlf-breed frot the cole brated \vfilte cattle of Chillinghamu. This being the 1i rst attompt to cross thin "nutamed, tIm Iuuixed and unstained stock,'' great interest was manifested in the animal, in which the old wild -lktire oi lde easily dOtected by the bVold, dtifant head and 'sharp, fierce eye. It appears tUat two heilfer of the putre short-horn breed were pitt into an enclosure with one of the wild bulls of fChillingham park, which had been trapped for the pairpose. At the first meeting the bull would have nothing to do with too liefers, but sloweditight. The beasts were then separated, it being feared that mischief might restilt from leaving the untamedi bull and the heif ers together. Three weeks after this another trial was made, anud the result was the same. It was arcordingly de cled to leave the helfer with the bull, and let her take her chance. The con sequence was that they became friendly as she went Into the sam1e place to lie at times. The second helfer wias then passed'iinto the enclosiure, and they all agreed very well together. The last helifer pIt iu gave birth on the 10th of a unA, 1877, to a very fine helfer cali, pure white, with a grand coat of hair, white unuzze and rod-tipped ears. On the 17tl of the sane inonih, seven ilays later, the other helifer produced a flue btillicailf,& d wich is more of the wild type. It has a brown muzzle al( spotted ise, black eyes Rad black.eyc. lashes, and red-tipped cars; also a white and splendlt"( coat of hair, and is not always safe to approach. Tile two animals are named respectively Eveand Adam, this being the first cross from the wild na tive cattle. They were permlitted to -suck - their, damns for . nearly twiAvo mnitthis. Iho:bull ce-6ssed his dam wheu ten ltantls old, and'sh' has a bull calf' -a perfect bearity, 'being pire white, white nose,and red-tipped cars, a beau tifui coat of hair, and Is well shaped. Of course the holfers were a white strain for a long way back. There are how two whit' helfers trapped into the enclosure in the park, and it is intended to try the cross the other way on. Lord Tankervllie is anxious to try experi menciuts, with a view of putting, tresh blood and constitution Into the Short hlorn breed, and, judging'from appear ancIs, is going to succeCd. The hielfers, wo und'erstanud, will not - be allowed to go otit to the park again among the wild herd to breed,- as It Is possible the imipress ight be left-his lordship hav hIg dotoi'thinbd not to tamper with the byedling of the wild cattle, but to keep ilhdn striTly iuto..
