    A HIDE FOIt LIFE.
Early one bright summer's morning,
not many years ago, a young naval officer
named fctratf ord rode out of Montevideo
on his way to Colonia. He was carrying
dispatches to a ship-of-war at the latter
place, and, being thoroughly acquainted
with the country, had been singled out
for the service.
He had not ridden far on his journey
before he met " three gayly-dressed
gauchos, and, being well known all over
the pampas, he was speedily recognized
by them, and was glad of the services of
one of them, Sanchez as a companion on
the journey. The intention was to push
on to Welshford's estancia by wayol San
Jose and Santa Lucia, and there pass
the night, pursuing the journey in the
morning
Nothing of particular interest occurred
during the long ride, and at about the
expected time Welshford's was reached,
and the hospitalities of the pampas
afforded them. Dinner was being eaten
by Stratford and his host when Sanchez,
who had been wandering among the
peons, came into the dining-room to in
form them that there was to be a tertulia,
or dance, at a raneho about three leagues
away, and that, if they would go, there
were to be grand doings. Welsh ford ex
cused himself on the ground of fatigue,
he having been arduously employed for
several days in Hupermtending the shear
ing of his sheep; butne said to Strat
ford, " If you wish to go with your man,
I will have fresh horses saddled for you
at once."
The offer was immediately accepted,
and soon the officer and gaueho were
again scouring over the plains and in a
short time found themselves at the scene
of the festivities. The dancing was con
ducted outside and the gayly-dressed
gauchos and the maidens formed a pictur
esque scene as they went into the intri
cacies of the bolero.
Stratford was introduced by Sanchez
as Don lucardo and immediately became
lionized by the ladies; and as he was
the same as most naval officers, having a
keen eye to beauty, he was not long in
picking out the best-looking maiden in
the assemblage, and she seemed to be
immediately flattered at the attention of
the eaballero Inglesa.
She told him that 6he learned to waltz
while at Buenos Ayres and asked him if
he understood the accomplishment. Of
course lie did. and the two sh&kv old
guitars, which gave forth a doubtful kind
of music, struck up a " turn-turn" to
waltz-time, and the . English Lieutenant
and the gaueho girl went whirling in the
mazes, the rest ot the assemblage form
ing a circle around them and madly an
plaudmg the performance, as the dance
to most or them was a novelty.
Sanchez seemed to think that the per
formance of the Lieutenant whom he had
introduced to the company was such a
success that it reflected great credit on
him, and immediately after they had
finished rushed over and embraced him,
after the fashion of his country.
Shortly after this little episode Strat
ford was lighting a cigar, when he was
approached by a .handsome young
gaueho, in a gay poncto and cheripa, and
showing himself to be a first-class dandy
by the profusion of silver ornaments and
heavy silver spurs that he wore, who
tapping him on the arm, said:
44 One moment, Senor Inglesa; I have a
word to say to you.
btratiord finished lighting his cigar,
and then followed him to a distance of
about fifty yards from the party.
" May 1 ask what you want with me?"
said he.
Yes, Scnor; that young lady that you
have been dancing so much with is mv
invia (sweetheart). Are you aware of
it?"
M I did not have that honor," said
Stratford. 44 1 am glad to hear it she is
a very pretty girl."
"I called you out, Senor," said the
gauclto, 44 to warn you that I do not allow
anyone to dance with Panchita. Now
do you understand?"
4 1 am sorry," said the Englishman,
that you will have to make an excep
lion in my favor, for I have already
promised to dance the next dance with
her."
44 Then, if you do, remember, Senor,
you do it at your peril you under
stand ?"
"I.nough of this insolence, fellow,"
saia stratioru, haughtily. " l shall dance
with her as often as I please."
44 Then beware!" growled he between
his teeth, as Stratford strode toward the
dancers, and the next instant he saw the
Lieutenant with his arm around Pan
rhitas waist and whirling her in the
dance.
Sanchez had been a witness of this
scene, and had overheard everything that
had been said by the youne: gaueho, who
received his particular attention during
the rest ot the night, but he never told
Stratford that he was acquainted with
the tact.
At length it became time tor them to
take their departure, and Stratford and
Sanchez went to the corral to get their
horses, that were already hitched wait
ing for them.
Sanchez Lad been, as we have said,
closely watching the young aaucho after
his threat, and was not slow in observing
him, as they iclt the company, also
leave, and steal round to the other side
of the corral, and, in the shade of the
wall, approach the oncer and himself,
Stratford was just in the act of getting
into ine sauuie, noi Knowing ot the dan
. ger, when he heard immediately behind
mm a scume, a dun thud, and then
groan, as the form of a man fell within
the shadow of the wall of the corral. He
then heard Sanchez say: "Into the sad
dle, Senor, quick! for your life!" and he
dashed away across the plains, Stratford
mechanically following him. As they
roue at a gaiiop Btratiord said:
"roruous saice, oancnez, what was
the matter?"
"iever mind asking questions now,
Senor," said he. 44 If I had waited iust
now to ask questions I should be riding
nome aione. l aid it 10 save you."
. 44 Who was it?"
44 That jackanapes who threatened you
ior uancing wiin x'ancniia. tie won t
threaten you any more."
"How did you know he threatened
me?"
44 1 heard every word he said. I fol
lowed you when I saw the villain call
you; even then I was ready to prevent
mm from putting his knife into you."
44 How did the -aflair happen just
now?
44 You were just in the act of getting
into your saddle when he crept round
the corral and had his knife ready to
strike you in the back, when I caught
him by the throat and buried mine in his
heart. I he sooner we are in Colonia the
better. You will have all the blame,
Don Ricardo. I know these people, and
every one of his kinsmen will be abroad
early to avenge the deed. e must go
siraigm on."
44 lou push right on, Sanchez; I must
go to Welshford's again for the dis
patches. I left them in his charge."
44 No, Senor, I will stay with you," said
Sanchez; 44 the body fell right in the
shade of the corral, and may not be found
until daylight. If that is the case, we
win nave time."
Well, we must try it, my brave fel
low," said Stratford; with fresh horses
ten leagues is not far."
"far? Uarrajo! I should think not;
but we must not let them catch us at
Welshford's."
They arrived at Welshford's at about
four o clock and, without delay, informed
the hostof the tragedy and immediately
got fresh horses, and were on the road as
daylight broke over the plains.
The estancia was about thirty miles
from tJoioma, and the rancno where the
tertulia had been the night before was
about the same distance, and, as the
reader knows, the raneho was three
leagues, or nine miles, from Welshford's.
As they rode they looked anxiously at
the eastern horizon for traces of any pur
suers; nor had they lone to look, for the
light revealed a cloud of horsemen push
ing rapidly on for where they had just
left.
44 Here they come"," said Sanchez, " but
they don't see us yet."
lie had hardly spoken when the whole
body, numbering eighteen or twenty,
turned their horses' heads for Colonia.
44 You spoke rather soon, Sanchez,"
said Stratford; 44 they see us only too
well."
The pursuers were about two miles to
the right of the pursued, and not more
than three-quarters of a mile to their
rear, and both were heading for the same
point, so it became nothing more than a
race.
At about half the journey the gauchos
were about the same distance astern;
but they had lessened that between them,
so that they were now almoL di
rectly behind them.
Stratford had hopes that when they
came in sight of Colonia some of the
lancers would see them and come to their
assistance; and so they did, but not until
very close to their pursuers, in conse
quence of the horse of Sanchez having
stumbled over an ant-hill ; but the nim
ble gaueho was quickly in the saddle and
returned the yells of his foes with a
wave of defiance as he again overtook
Stratford; but, unfortunately, his horse
went dead lame and the situation was be
coming very precarious, as the foremost
of the horsemen was nearly close enough
to use his lasso on poor Sanchez. When
within about a league of the town, for
tunately, a squad of Uraguayan cavalry
who were exercising on tht plains saw
them, and came scouring to their assist
ance. It was now nip and tuck whether
Sanchez would be caught before the lan
cers got up; but that point was quickly
set at rest, as a howl from that individual
told Stratford that he was in the toils
He immediately turned to his assistance,
and rode on the gaueho who was hauling
in on the lasso to knife the poor fellow.
A well-directed shot from the officer's
revolver went crashing through his brain,
and two or three more completely
checked the impetuosity of the foremost
of the pursuers.
Sanchez was soon free from the lasso,
and, wiih the instincts of his class, im
mediately appropriated the horse of the
dead gaueho, as the lancers dashed up
and attacked and dispersed the des
peradoes.
The ride for life was over, and a short
time saw Stratford and Sanchez on
board the English frigate, where the
thrilling adventure was told by the
officer.
Sanchez was greatly elated at the fact
of the other gaueho being killed, as he
found that he was the brother of the one
who had received his quietus the night
before ; and he philosophically remarked
that cousins did not follow up a feud but
for a little while, but the brother would
have pursued him to death.
Three weeks again saw them at Welsh
ford s, but that time they attended no
tertulia. Edward R. D. Mayne.

A grave proposition for .a new party
has been telegraphed from Boston, and
the report, after recounting the good
inings roai were to oe sought by it, con
ciuues oy saying that lien. Banks is
thought of as its Presidential candidate
Evidently the new party is in the mind
of the reporter what Artemus Ward
called a " goak." A new reform party,
with Gen. Banks, late of the salary grab.
as its candidate for President, would be
as good a joke as the reform Democratic
party with i ernando Wood next year, as
he was last year, its candidate for
Speaker. Those who recur to new par
ties as remedies for abuses and troubles
take account of everything but the act
ual situation. One or the most power
ful of the Cincinnati chiefs of 1872, when
we warned nun to beware of his allies
asked us whether we really thought that
mere was anything left that could be
called the Democratic party. A new
party is not made by the co-operation of
a knot of good citizens and clever men
who see that certain abuses exist and
that certain reforms are desirable. It
grows out of a very general conviction
among men of both or all parties that
certain great measures are indispensa
ble, and that they are not to be expected
from any existing party. In this way
the Republican party began. The larger
pan oi ine wmg and a considerable
body of Democrats were persuaded that
neither the Whig nor the Democratic
party could be trusted to deal effectively
wuii slavery extension, and in 185a they
formed a new party, which in 1850 polled
more than thirteen hundred thousand
votes.
But at the present time how many Dem
ocrats arc likely to leave their party to
help form a new one? and how many Re
publicans, having seen their party willing
io ueieai oonoxious candidates, however
regularly nominated, feel that it is
necessary to form a new organization?
1 here will be no new party, and the
President in 1876 will be chosen either
by the Republicans or the Democrats.
inose who think that a new party
might have been formed in 1873
make the mistake of forgetting that the
popular confidence of the great mass
of the Republicans in the President was
not disturbed, and was so firm and un
shaken that even the action of Mr. Sum
ner occasioned only regret, but no visible
abandonment of the party. Twenty
oincr leaders might nave iollowedJJlr.
Sumner, but they would have followed
him alone. The mass ot their associates
would have remained behind. This was
a fact that settled the situation. Those
who saw this and understood the reason,
nowever iney may nave seen abuses and
otienscs in the Government, knew that
the practical alternative was the re
election of Grant or Democratic restora
tion. Ihe Cincinnati Convention was
composed of a few honest Republicans
who represented no vote and a host of
44 bummers" and 44 sore-heads" who used
the name of reform to gratify personal
discontent and private ambition. In the
campaign that followed the first class
either gave a protesting support to Grant
or served independently as Greeley guer
rillas. The latter class, which was the.
great, mass, worked ncartny in tne JJemo
cratic ranks and have been now wholly
hosotdcu in tne party.
This was the last effort at the forma
tion of a new party. But now, when the
Democrats think themselves virtually
triumphant and sure of success in 1870,
and Mhen the Republicans believe their
party to be purged, the suggestion of a
new organization is merely amusing,
What Democrat does not think that his
party will deal wisely with the currency
and the Southern States and govern
economically? What Republican does
not feel that the Jonahs are falling into
the sea? A new party of reform, even
with Gen. Banks or Gen. Butler as its
leader, could hardly disturb the serene
confidence of the political situation.

A little advice to fanners. Help

instance, keep an extra pair oi shoes or
slippers in the hall or entry, and always
remember to change your dirty boots be

may be sure of a smile of welcome, aa no
dirt will be left after you fcr hor to la in

carefully as ever you did in your court

gown, and when you take your paper to
read do not read to yourself and leave
her to lonesome thoughts while seeing

Removal of Dry Putty. According
to an English journal the difficulty of re
moving hard putty from wihdow-sash
can be obviated with great readiness by
simply applying a piece of heated metal,
such as a Boldering-iron or other similar
implement. When heated (but not red
hot) the iron is to be passed slowly over
the putty, thereby rendering the latter so
soft that it wijl part from the wood with
out any trouble.

Fences or lo Fences I
The question of fences or no fences is
one that has long agitated the farmers of
the country. It is, from a money point
of view, of the greatest importance,
since there is no doubt that the fences of
the country represent fully one-half of
the improvements of farms. To the
farmers throughout the prairie regions of
the West it becomes a most vital oues
tion, since, from the scarcity of fencing
material, it has to be carried long dis
tances on wagons, or, as in the majority
of instances, it must be bought with
cash after being transported long dis
tances by railroad. With lumber at six
teen dollars per thousand, and posts at
thirteen dollars ter 100. the cost of ma
terial at the railroad station, including
nails, will be eighty cents per rod. If to
this we add moving to place and labor in
building, the cost will be increased to
one dollar per rod. To inclose a quarter
section therefore will cost bubdi
vide this section into forty-acre fields and
the cost is doubled, making Sb4U. Ihe
average fence will need renewal once in
ten years, making the annual cost of
fencing sixty -lour dollars, certainly more
than the wear and tear on the average
100-acre farm in the West. In older-set
tied portions the cost of fencing will
fully keep pace with other farm im
provements, so there is no need of car
rying the estimate further.
There are, in round numbers, 20,000,000
acres of improved land in Illinois. On the
basis upon which we have calculated it
would cost 1104,000,000 to - fence the
farms into forty-acre fields. The value
of the live stock in Illinois is greater
man that oi any other State in the Lnion,
New York excepted, being in round num
bers,- according to the census of 1870
$150,000,000. the annual profit deriva
ble from this source may be $15,000,000.
A fence wears out in ten years. If to its
cost wre add 10 per cent, on the invest
ment, we have 20 per cent, as the depre
ciation of fencing per year; this would
make the yearly cost of the fencing in
Illinois about $20,000,000, $5,000,000 more
than the interest on the investment on
cattle.
Will it pay to fence cattle out in Illi
nois? The Western Rural thinks from
these figures it will pay better to fence
them in, in many sections, at least, and,
in others, to modify this system by par
tial herding. If it will not pay in Illi
nois to fence certainly it will not in any
other State. We know that in sections
where the no-fence system is in force, in
Livingston County, 111., for instance, the
plan works satisfactorily. We have
there seen cattle driven to and fro to pas
ture on roads with cultivated crops on
each side, without serious trouble, and
herded close up to the corn line without
difficulty; for, if commenced with in
the spring, they soon learn that they must
not break over the dead line. Indeed
there are but about three months at best
whin the herdsman's task is difficult. It
is true the farmers cannot afford herds
men and horses for small numbers of
cattle, but in this case it is certainly
cheaper to fence his stock in than fence
them out of his fields.
In Nebraska we believe the State law
throws upon the owner of stock the
onus of keeping his stock from straying
upon his neighbors' land, or, in other
words, it compels the owners of stock to
fence in their animals, thus obviating
the necessity of building fences about
crops. This gives up a large space to
cultivation no small matter, and one
which we have not taken into account in
our estimate.
In Illinois and in some other States the
law allows townships and counties to
vote for or against fencing. The state
of Georgia is to decide this fall on the
fence question. We hope to see the mat
ter thoroughly canvassed everywhere,
believing as we do that the fencing in of
farms is an expense which should no
longer be borne by farmers, at least in
prairie counties.
We have taken Illinois as the State
from which to draw our deductions, first.
because the stock interest in this State is
greater than that of any other State in
tne union; and wbile this is the case
she has a fair amount of timber (19.6
per cent.) in proportion to her cleared
and prairie lands wkhin about 5 per
cent, of the quantity that European ex
periments have demonstrated as the pro
portion necessary to the best results in
the tillage of farm crops. Now, what
the farmers of Illinois and the entire
West especially want to decide is:
Which will pay best, to fence in the
stock, to fence them out, or to abolish
the fencing of field? entirely and depend

several severe and complicated cases arbing
from, as I thought, an impure state of the
blood, and in no one caec have they failed
to more than accomplish all they are claimed
to do. I will onlv mention one as remarka
ble (though I could give you dozeLS): Henry
Koster, furniture dealer, of this place, who
was one of the most pitiful objects ever seen,
his face swollen out of shape, scales and erup
tions without end, extending to his body,
which was completely covered with
blotches and scales. Nothing that he
took seemed to affect it a particle. I
finally induced him to try a few bottles of the
Golden Medical Discovery, with daily use of
the Pellets, assuring him it would surely cure
him. He commenced its use some six weeks
since, taking two Pellets eaeh night for a
week, then one each niht, and the Discovery
as directed. The result is, to-day his skin is
perfectly smooth and the scaly eruptions are
gone. lie has taken some seven or cijrht bot
tles in all, and considers himself cured. This
case had baffled the skill of our best phy
sicians. Messrs. Dunsford fe Co., druggists,
of this place, are selling largely of your "med
icines and the demand steadily increases; and
they give perfect satisfaction in every case.

Let Us Consider. Since the introduc
tion of distilled spirits in the sixteenth
century they have reen habitually pre
scribed as remedies. We know that al
cohol, in all its forms, is pernicious to
health. Knowing these thingt and that,
under the system of treatment which in
cludes their use, the mortality among
the sick is and ever has been enormous,
is it not worth while to try the effect of
a remedy which combines in their high
est excellence the qualities of a Tonic,
an Alterative and a Regulator; contains
no mineral bane or murderous alkaloid
or alcoholic poison; does its curative
office without pain and with uniform cer
tainty? Dr. Walker'8 Vinegar Bitters
fulfills all these conditions, and is now
effecting the most extraordinary cures
in cases where every 44 specific" of the
faculty has ignominously failed. Con
sider, in view of these facts, whether any
sick person is justified by reason and
common sense in declining to test the
virtues of this undefiled and irresistible
remedy. 11
Safe, Permanent and Complete! Wil-
hoft's Tonic cures Chills and Fever, Dumb
Chills and Bilious Fevers those Titans that

known. It cures Enlargement of the Spleen.
It cures Hypertrophy of the Liver. It hurts
no one. It cures all types of Malarial Fevers
and Is perfectly protective in all ita effects.

ever policy benefits that great interest promotes ine
nrosiJerity of the whole country. The cost of trans

Tariff and Transportation Clinrgea.
TiiTRini Ni will advocate the adoption of such
measures as will cheapen transportation and reduce
the taxes on good. The lightest tarill which will pro
vide the Government Willi necessary funds to carry
it on sud maintain its credit should only be Imposed
in Imports, and tbe national highways should be im
proved to create a stroller competition with the rail
road monopolies, which wlii eompel them to lower
their tariff of charges.
Ret taction of State and Local Taxes.
The utmost reduction of all direct taxes must be in
sisted upon by the people. Wit liin a few years county.
township and municipal taxation has enormously i n
rn.niu.fi nnd hei-oine almost hevoml endurance through'

tional Government, and choke down the insatiable
greed of the local tax-Caters, before all the surplus
earnings or tne industrious classes are vwiiuisvaiu vj
those tax-devourers.
The Currency.
Plenty of currency for all the legitimate wants of
tne country, wiin r.iasiiciiy as io ouaiiiu j, mu o.n-

cheated by any form of currency dilution or 'rpiirjla

will result from the destruction of credit that will fall
like a blight on Mate and Municipal Governments as

like the virtue of Cwsar's wile, above suspicion.
No More Subsidies or Bounties.
Subsidies and bounties of public lands, money, or
credit to enrich railroad-rings, run steamship com
panies, or furnish capital to other corporations are
flagrant abuses of the powersof Government, and tend
io promote corruption, extravagance and peculation.
The Tkiiu xe will therefore In tlie future, as in tho
past, light all such schemes of public plunder.
