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

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

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

but, when actual ly formed, it 1s scarce

remains an everlasting piague. To pre

essary, whenever and wherever a shoe

once, and so long as that part of the

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

you can perhaps keep him in the road
Ituitil his wind gives out, or should a

him1 against a fence or the side of tle

part of pluck, and generally that of
wisdloml, to staly by3 thuecaru'iage as long
as the traces lui. Whuenu tihe hor-se is

mnost the horse wvill stop, iunless he is a
most ext.raordinary animial. In ease of
a span, if you stop one horse, the other

that the mnotion of the animal causes
hisgnane. to streami out anid embarrass
thme ider's hold on the linles. TIhuis,
hlowever., Is a minor difficulty, and an
equiostrian who has a firmt seat ought to

WIT AND HUMOR.
JonN Donoble wias angry whon the
policeman brought him to the bar of
the Police Court for assaulting his wife,
ai he was loud in his dtenounolation
of the laws that "intherfare wud the
proivate rolghts and divarsions of every
married man."
"What didyou strike your wife for?"
asked Justice Morgan.
"Because she wanted chastisin', all'
as I'm het suparlor, I'd loike to know
who has a better roight,"
"But you have no right to lay your
hands upon her in anger,"
"Iaven't I though ? An' who's to
be boss I'd loike to know?"
"You are. If she is doing wrong
you must reason with her."
"Rason wud her I Musha, but that's
purty talk now. Rasoni Begorra,
she'd give you rason over the gob wud
the poker."
"L never slitruck him in my lolfe,
Yer Wurchup," said Mrs. Donohlie,
shading her black eye with her hand.
"Av coorso ye didn't, because I hot.
ye such a welt in the face that ye
cndn't."1
"Mr. Donohue, I'll send you to the
Island for six months."
"Now, that's rasonable enough; but
there's one requesht I want to make."
"What is that?"
"I don't want you to be disehargin'
mc In a couple of weeks, because she
gets sorry an' comes croyin' to bog me
off."
'"All right. You'll stay there."
"Thank ye, sor 1 said he, moving off
to the prison. ' Sure, whin she biut
me up before six months I was put in
the bakery, an' on'y for the ould fool

T'.'HE parsons do, after all, tell the
best stories. The Rev. )r. - is re
sponsible for tile following: In the
early part of his ministry a very eind
nent clergyman of his own denoinina
tion visited him and spent tile Sabbath
with him. Of course he invited him to
preach for him, and, to his great satis
faction, lie consented. Tite 'Rev. Dr.
- Is tall, and his pulpit rather high
to accomimodate his manuscript toT ils
sight; his visitor was short,- rather
stout, and had a slining bald head.
Tie Rev. Dr. - proposed to lower
the pulpit a little, but his friend de
elined, and, on the contrary, desired
that it should be raised higher. It
seemed that 11e was near-sighted, but
for some reason preferred not to wear
spectacles. Tito desk being raised, hie
proceeded to pile upon It the closed
pulpit Bible, two hymn-books, a pile
of about a dozen sermons, and finally
his manuscript and then, his bald head
j'ist glimmering over tile top of his ex
tempore fortillcation, lie aniounced his'
text--"Thou sialt sce greater thligs
han these."
"Ou, doctor iow I suffer I" "Come,
30oie, madame i I don't believe there's
inything serious the matter with you."
