GAS from our splendid lUe leading newspapers
Thinks it a Sncoisss. Regarding the
ship.uent of cattle East by Dave Horn
and others, the La Grande Chronicle
says: "The reoent shipment ot a train
load of 226 cattle from Pendleton and
La Crande by Dave Horn, Chas. Beale
and A. M. Despain, was a success, Tbe
entire shipmeut was disposed of at the
south Omaha yards at prices ranging
from $2.70 to $3 10 per hundred pounds,
and averaging, afier deducting all ex
penses of shipping between $24 and $25
per head. Under the beading "All tbe
way from Oregon," tbe Omaha Bee of
the 4th instant, states concerning tbe
recent cattle shioment: 'The first
Oregon cattle that have ever been sold
at this market were reoeived yesterday.
The train load was owned by ivir. Horn,
who lives in Pendleton. The prioes he
reoeived were satisfactory to the gentle.
man, and be says that the rates have
now been fixed whereby Oregon stock
can be placed , on the- South Omaha
market at a profit for the shipper over
other markets.' "
Will thy the Vbnturb. The oattle
that were recently shipped from Peodle
ton to Omaha were reported to have
s ild at net average of $25 per bead
However, aocoidiug to tbe report of the
sale iu the "Drover's Journal," of
Omaha, their gioss average was not
more than $27, consequently their net
average must have been much less than
was reported. Yet others are willing to
try the venture. Last week a train.
load of 15 oars of cattle were shipped
from Elgin to Ghictigo. It is said tbat
if this shiiment results in the same
success that attended tbe shipment of
Horn and Jesuaiu fiom Pendleton and
La Grande to South Omaha, other ship
meats will be. immediately started, as
the parties interested have about 1800
bead yet to turn into market.

Mammoth Romatns.
The digging up of mammoth remains
in the heart of . London seems incongru
ous, yet this has just been done by the
workmen on a sewer, who, at the depth
of twenty-two feet from the surface,
came upon remains of a mammoth and
other prehistoric animals. Two large
tusks were met with lying near to
gether, along with other bones belong
ing to the same animal. A portion of
one of these tusks was brought to the
surface and it was found to measure
at its thickest part nearly two feet in
circumference.

A Bad Arm. On last Sunday Wm,
Piei oe, of Gooseberry, came in to have
his little son treated. Some time ago
his right arm was broken near the elbow
joint, and the broken bones were badly
set, the arm being quite stiff snd
crooked. It is olaimed that one of the
bones was diBlooated at the elbow and
that it was never reset. Mr. Pierce was
informed by physioian'e here that it
was impossible now to do anything for
the injured member.
Convicted. Joe Young, the SealtU
blackmailer, has been found guilty as
charged. His wife was diaobarged.
The penalty for tbe crime cannot ex
ceed ten years iu the penitentiar, and
Youug will probably get a pretty long
term. His fate is a well-deserved on ,
for no more despicable crime oan be
imagined than that of blackmail, partic

THE CHOLERA YEAR.
i Citizen's Hemtnlsoeneee of the
Scourge n 1832.
jee a learned health officer of Co
.Dus, O., is taking precautions
gainst cholera which he says is bound
to visit America this year," said an old
New Yorker the other day.
"Well, it's raging in Russia and has
taken hold in Germany and France, and
I shouldn't wonder if the grinning spec
ter were to take passage on some ship
and land on Ellis island. God forbid!
"I was here in July, 1832, just sixty
years ago to the month. We hadn't
known cholera before that and we have
not been troubled with it since; but you
remember some layman said it always
followed in the wake of the grip and
everybody laughed at him. Hasn't it
come true?
"I remember that in July, 1833, the
disease was raging here so that every
body was in a panic. The death rate
was 150 a day right straight along. The
disease came from Baltimore, being
brought to that jport on one of the
famous clipper vessels from the Dardan
elles. Thousands of physicians came
from all parts of the country to study
the disease. It was not understood well
then, but to-day, with our increased
cleanliness and improved drainage, we
would be better able to cope with it.
"In the United States senate Henry
Clay introduced a resolution praying the
Almighty to avert the terrible Asiatic
scourge, and appointing a day of gen
eral humiliation."
The old man filled his pipe and
puffed thoughtfully.
"Did you lose any relatives?' asked
the reporter.
"Father, two brothers and a sister,"
was the reply.
TOOK ONE WITH HIM.
How a Baltimorean Treated a Tramp la
Spite of Illmsett.
A well-known Baltimorean was stand
ing at the corner of Charles and Lexing
ton the other day, says the Baltimore
Herald, when he was accosted by a
seedy looking individual, who said:
"May I have a few words with you,
sir?"
"You may, but if you want anything
I have no money to give you.."
"I don't want any money; I'm a
mechanic, but have been out of work
for over nine weeks and my wife and
children are suffering. I want you to
give me an order on some grocer for a
pound of meat and a loaf of bread."
"If that's the case," said the gentle
man, "here's a quarter."
The stranger accepted the coin with
thanks and moved rapidly down Lex
ington street. Having nothing to do,
the donor thought he would follow his
coin and see what .became of it. The
stranger led the way to a saloon on
Calvert street and entered without re
