Wo had come together, a party of live, from ilifloreut part it tue woiid, aud formed a pirtueishin to work out a rieh mountain claim 1U the Sierras.

"Presently Andy Ance offered to sell Ha .k a fine fox hound. "I've no use for him," Hank replied. "I've got the best dog in the Sierras, and miybe jou'll find it out if you live long enough." We did. All day Sunday no pug-nosed dog appeared and all day a running fire of jest and comment was kept up about the vagrant. The neigh boring miners, as they dropped in to smoke and chat by our fire, nev r failed tt fay, "Why, Hank, where is yourlo;;" until at last Hank's temper, never of tho b'st, fairlv gave out. On Monday morning, when we went back to work a the dam, there was the dog faith fully watching Hank's coat. Alt through tlioso bitter nights he had watched by it, without food or shelter, not even lying do..n upon it lor warmth. He via? shaking as with an ague fit; but the look he gave Hank Beam d to soy, "1 cannot do much for you, but I have kept yrur coat sa'c, my f iend." "Didn't I tell jtu to?" said Hank, proudly. Public sentiment instantly turned in the dog's faeor as we githcred around him, and showered upon him Mich terms as ' Good dnc!" "Nice puti!" "Pcor fellow !" ' Why, he's u rouser of a dog, after all?" said Uoc, pi v ing him the biscuit that lie had brought for his own luncheon. He was christened "Koutr" on the spot, and from that tunc he was the prime favorite, of tho camp Kvcn liutte's selfish heart warmed toward him, a d many a merry lussio iney nan -ogetucr. That samo day it began to snow. It snowed and it snowed. Wo gatheied up rockers, shovels and pans. The snow covered the bowldersj then it 1 uried the chaparral and manzanita husliea: then all the miners' cabins: and still it cimo down. It nearly filled the valley full Thero were eight or ten miners' cabins jn tho vicinity, their locality being indicated by ono or two hole? in tho snow, and marked by stakes bearing in criptions like these: "Twenty feets to Hilly lirooko's Cabin." "Cabin of the Merry Miners, three vnrds bo- low." "ucc 1 urLicr. Hank & Un.. twenty- five feet" "Grand Hotel; Beans and Bacon at all hour; two rods." We kept the fire roaring, roid the old pa pers over and over, went out aud shot game now and then, had i.ames of rough nnd-tumble and snowballing, told stcnes, and smoked our pipes under the snow as cheerfully as the greasy Kquin anx. A hole in fie snow let in tho light to a hole in our cabin, and at this window Hutte or Kouscr invariably took his station at mett time; it was not largo enough for both at once. Our table was ui der this window, and refuse bilB of bread and bacon wtro tossed to tho lucky dog in the window. Hutte, bcin ot a lazy turn, could wait more patiently, so he usually took his station nt the window as soon as tho savory fumes of frying bacon as cended to the upper air. Kouser would come to the hole and bark savagely, but could rot ingnten isutte away. At last Knuser resorted to artifice. One dinner time ho rushd into a little clump of pines barking furiously, as if he had found some choico gtmo. Hutte c mid not withstand this, so ho camo out of the window to join in the fun. and artful Housei quietly slipped into his place. Day after elay jvwuocr ciuieiiiucii eej piiey inis iriCK oil pool llutto, and alwajs with tho same success Hut this samo little window was a source of sorrow to Camp Square Comfort, as wo callid nur quart' rs. Ono day wo all went out hunt ing, and forgot to Bhut tho window. When we returned, we found that tho coyotes had carried off all our bacon. This was a serious loss. We could borrow a little, of course, but it was nececrary for some one to go to the nearest trading post for a fresh supply. Hank Howley volunteered to perform the mission, and as ho was the strongest of tho arty, and more useei to traveling on snow shoes, he seemed best fitted for the scrvic It was about forty miles to tho trading post, but Hank was suro ho could make tho triu in three davs, or four at the farthest. "You better tie up Rouser until I am well on tho way," s-iid he. Then ho Btarted. Kouser was greatly dejected. Ho whined and lion led and cried all day, the tears run ning down his faco and dropping on tho floor At night wo uutird him, but his spirits did not app. ar to improve. On tho third night uanii nan n t returmu, nut Kouser was gone We did not foci anxious on Hank's account, for lie had suggested that ho might prolong his stay in exso ho founJ himself too fatigued to start back immediately. About da hunt on tho fourth dav Jtouser. or what wns left of him, cimo bail- to camp His condition wns oven worso than when hn first camo to us. Ono leg seemed broken, and several ugly wounds gave evidence of some fierce encounter. To his neck was fastened a scrap of paper, on which was traced witli blood, in se-arcoly legible chai icters: "Hroke my leg, Cal. lion, lie quick." We lost no timo in going to tho roscuo.

Wo did not worrj him with questions; he could not talk. Hut all around die spot w ero marks of a ferocious battle and tracks of a Urge California lion. A broken snow shoe, tho pieces bristling with hair, indicated tho nature of the battle. There was n deep wound on Hank's hand, and his eoat was badlv torn Watt Morgan picked up his uiooiiy pocket Mute in the suo I found his revolver, with all tho chambers empty.

Fortuiutely, the night was warm, so ho had no fear of freezing He had a few crackers in his pocket, and, with the tc-on, he wis well provided against hunger, and he did uot feel entire ly hope less. Then the crv of the California lion sounded ueirer. No doubt ho scented ih l.e.-.-m Hauk drew his revolver ami crawled to a larce tree. He lUltlv SUCceenlid in hi.ro,,,, .ho baeou in the snow. 'I ho fearful cr) sounded still lieuer. The suu lad set. and it wounded beast should attack him. He shouted, waved his broken snow shoes, threw snow-balls, but the creature still skirmish d around him, evid ntly taking in the situation. He drew nearer and nearer, crouching as if for a spring. When he was within a couple of rods Hank fired bis first shot, hoping to hit him in the eyes, but the bullet seem d to glance from tho skull. The maddened brute was about to leap upon him when a champion appeare '. Rouser suddenly sprang upon him from behind. Then began a feariul conflict. Rouser, who was smnlland more active, could avod the onset of his heavier foe for some time, until he grew weary. Hank fired several shots, but failed to hit a vital sp t. Once the battle surgedso near him that he beat the lion off with his broken snow-shre. and succeeded in inflicting a sharp wound in his throat. This was probably a mortal w. und, for the animal retreated, closely pursued by Kouser, and Hank could hear the conflict raging for sn hour longer. Then Ri uer returned in a pitiable plight but seemed to be joyful and triumphant.

Walking Horses, Etc It is all ?ry well to enc urage the rearing of fast trotters, and evi n racers, by the offer of liberal premiums at our fairs. We are no advocato of the race course, except sj far as it mbservos the purpose of testing the speed of horces, and not then because of the intrinsic value of the quality of speed, so much as that of wind and endurance, on which speed essen tially depends. It is very pleasant to have i smooth, easy going and fast trotting buggy or carriage horse, and it is sometimes important to make good time. But do not horsemen give loo much attention to the running and trotting gaits to the net'leot of the sober, practical, everyday wa k? A very large por tion of the work of even a buggy or carriage horse is necessarily done at a walking git Especially is this true on the ordinary roads from pain and exhaustion, for the next thing in the country; and on the farm, nine-tenths he knew it was morning and he was nearly dead with cold. He managed to stir a little, and from the bleedine wound on his hand, wnere tne nerc nrute had scratched him, he obtained the bio' el to trace the warning he had leceived. He had written it with a match, and fastened it to Rouser's neck. With the same match he had been able tn light n little fire, which he fed for tome time with bark and cones from the pine tree. He ate a cracker, and then probably fell asleep. Ihanks to skillful surgery and good nurs-1 of all the work performid mut be done in a walk. It is certainly, then, of great import ance that the walking rait should be devel oped by careful breediti? and that efforts iu this direction should be encouraged by our stock associations and agricultural fairs.

As for Rouser, he got bravely over his in- 'unes, and I am sure there was not a man in lound Valley who did not think him as worthy of being carved in marble as any of the world's great heroes. That exquisite poem of the late Dr. Hol land, "To my Dog Blanco," is a fitting tribute to dear old Rouser : "For all good that I have found Within myself or human kind Hath royally informed and crowned His gentle heart and mind. "I can scan the whole broad earth around For that one heart w hich, leal and true, Bears friendship without eud or bound, I Ana iiuu tne prize in you.

Decency to Horsei "A horsj cannot be screamed at and cursed without becoming less valuable in every parti cu'ar. To reach tho highest degree of value the animal should be perfectly gentle and al ways reliable; but it it expects every moment it is in harness to be 'jawed' nt aad struck, it will bo in a constant state of nervousness, and in its excitement is liable, through fear, to do somothing that is not expected, as to go along doing wl at you started it to do. It is possi ble to train a horse to be governed by a word of mouth almost as easily as it is to train a child, and in such training a horse reaches its highest value. When a horse is soothed by the words of its driver and we have seen him calmed down from great excitement by n... . .... . .. t i . . -. uu ueuvi iiieuua i. may oe lainy conciudeit that he is a valuable horse for practical pur poses, and it may be certainly concluded that the man who has such power over him is a hum ne man and a sensible one. "All this simply means that the man must secure tho confidence of the animal. Oolv m ex;eptional instances is a horso stubborn and vicijus. If ho understands his surroundings and what is expected of him. he will inva nn trouble. As almost every reader must know, if the animal, when frightened, can be brought to the ol'jcot he will become calm. The rea. son is that he understands there is nothing to tear, oo ne must uo taugnt to have confidence iu the man who haudlea him, and theu this powerful animal, -which usually a man could not handle if it were disposed to be vicious, will cause no trouble. Die verv best rule. therefore, which we would lay down for the management of a horso is gentleness aud good sense on the part of thediiver.

The two-horse team easily plowed thiee acres per day, of ten hours, while the mule team was bard put to it to get over two and a halt acres. An ordinary, av erage mule team would not have plowed moro than two acres, and there are thousands of teams in Georgia that would not have made more than ouc and a half.

Ex-Gov Leland Stinford, whose method of developing trotting colts is novel and effect ive, has many common-sense principles in his system of management. Among them is this: He reguds the horse as an intelligent and rejsoning animal, and therefore should bo treat -d as such. In tho working of colts there is such a thin? as too mucn oi u as u. ume. AnrHmtr to the Governor s idea, the CJlt, being a reasoning animal, gets discouraged if it knows the trainer requires it to go a fatigu ing distance. That is to say, if a mile, or even three quarters, is a tax upon the strength, the colt knows it. Then, with tha knowledge e f having to gi throuuh with an arduous task every day, the incentive is destrn)e 1. As an example, we will tike the ca3e of a schoolboy. Give him a moderate task, which he knows will not tax his powers, but c ill into play an agreeable exercise of the mind, and he will ,,tr nnnn it with pleasure. Give him a task which he knows at the outset will tax his in tellect to the utmost, and he is very apt to "quit" at the start. Just so witn an intelli gent colt. To obviate this, Gov. Stinfcrd in structs his truner to limit the work to certali distances. If a colt is to have half inilo jogs, or to hi speeded that distance, adraagat- n placed across the track t the half milo p st Beyond this the co't cannot go, and ho l ..ware of the fact In this he is encouraged instead of disheartened. As he crows ii strength the elistance if. of coure, increased That Gov.

A corrcsjiouelcnt wants to know: "What stock ot hoises imp. Messenger sprung from!" Also, "lias the vi ore) -Messenger any con ee tion with thorou hbreil!" The writer, doubt less, has been listeuiug to the "argurrcuts" of tho theorists who contended that all trotting capacity came from Messenger, aud that eYiry drop of running bloovl m tbe trotter is a positive injury to him. The man to whom turf history is a scaled bouk would naturally infer in listening to this talk that Messenger was aide'ly removed from tho running family. mo simple truth ol the nutter is that Mis. senger was thoroughbred, was running-bred. He was a gray, folded in Kngland in 1780, where uo determined efforts hare been made to cultivate a trotting gait. Ho was bred for tne ruuuing turf, ana prior to his imporUMou to the United States m 17!S he ran in two race. His sire was Mambrino, and his dam, after uine pure cruxes, auchoreel in Natural Rtrb mare He was the sire ot race horses at long aud short distances, aud Herbert, whu saw him often aud who deSwiibea him in his book, pivuouueed him 'the best horse ever brought to America." He died in 1S0S, aged JS jtars. His opportunities for getting road, sters were great, aad consequently kia blood is a pronuueut factor in the fast trotting horse of to-day.

Nothing cau be more absurd than the ideas I find generally pertaining in regard to this, that to make a horse understand anything it must bo beaten into him. The thing to do in training a horso is to go about it naturally, to reason with him always deliberately and kindly, and make him understand that jou are his friend. I never have fouud that coaxing and invariably kind treatment spoilt a horse. On the other hand, the same as with man, none of thi best horses w ill yield to beating. In all or any oi tne eiiiucuit pertormances of my own horses, it is impossible for me to force the animals to do anything by whipping, aud I never resort to it. .My rule alvvav s is to combine kindness with firmness, and to teach them slowly, and doing this I experience but little trouble. 1 count the military drill, as performed here at the Windsor Theatre, the best feature in my exhibition. The scene in the last act of mv exhibition, where the horses rush up and fire oil tne cannons, holding the short lanyard strap between thtir teeth, is another very dif. ticuit operation, and requires a great amount of care'ul teaching. I began at first by teach inx them to become accustomed to haLilling substances with their teeth, without allowing them to destroy the articles. All my horses will do this. Afterwards I taught them to fir oil a small cap b) pulling at a strap placed bctnten their tetth, aid later to lire a blank cartridge, mini finally they became so accus tomed to it tl at it was a simple step farther to the present performance. When It i. sidered that tho teeth are remarkbly seusilive conductors of sound, aud the immediate vibra tion wnicn occum to tne animals head on the instant the shot is fired, and tefore it is possi. ble to release the strap, tho extreme dithculty attending its successful teaching can be bet ter conceiveei, it a uorse ts v er) nervous aud easily subject to alarm, the best method alwas is to treat him gently and with the greatest consideration. Find out the reasons or objects which effect to frighten him, and make him immediate!) familiar with them Show hin. that uouo of tiem will hurt him Among tbe first ltssous which a colt learns from its d m is that of fear of certain obttits aud the effect is alwajs lasting. In training horses it is uecessarv as fir as possible to up root this inhentid tear, aud to make it plain to them that jou mteud always to befriend them.
