A CAIID TO THE PUBLIC.
COUNCU , BLUITS , December 30. N
tlcing in THE BUB of the 30th that tl
board of health had censured mo f
Borne difficulty experienced In the go
oral care of the late "smallpox" patient
I would like to atato the duties of coun
phyelan in full. First , the county phyi
Iclan is engaged by the county supervise
to attend to all paupers or pcoplo unab
to help thouiaolves , requiring medical a
or medicine , when ordered by the eve
seer of poor or any member of eald com

iclau Is to aoo to medical supplies and I

health , and BOO how far I was Impllcatoc
First , I did not visit patients regularlj
second , I did not enter the room hi
banded the medicine in from the outaldi
third , not furnishing food. This I disn
gard entirely as being out of my jnrlsdli
tlon , and something I had nothing to d
with. The following certificates 1 thin
will disprove all charges and convlnc
the board of health that they acte
rather hastily In the matter. In cor
elusion I would like to state that so h
as the "Ooy houso" Is concerned , I ha
nothing to do with It whatever. Th
proprietor engaged mo to attend hit
while I was attending Mr. Crumb. H
is not a county charge , and the count
has nothing to do with him whatever ,
attended him regularly as I would any c
my cases , and charged him for each visll
The board of health quarantined the Co
house , and when under quarantine ahoul
provide a way by which food and fut

In the other window there is general

id a handsome cane. Sometimes th

ietnrcs of well-known pugilists , altoma

There is an ocean of prairie about t

the eye can roach like the swell o
troubled son. With a strong glass c
can see In the dlstnnco a mass of ehoi
tended by a lonely shepherd , In ayoll
"slicker , or oilskin ulster , and a bin
Spanish shepherd dog , Herds of an
lope , following a loader , scamper acn
the plains , stirring np flocks of Moxlc
quail and prairie chickens , and cnusi
excitement in the prairio-dog towi
where the fat rodents plunge hoadlo
Into their holes , and then stick out thi
heads to ROD what startled thorn. Like
dark cloud on the horizon , great herds
cattle appear in the distance , either

boys , holding them. The herd of C
A. W. Dunn , president of the Colorn
National bank , came upon the plains tl
other day , and the colonel came he
with his nleco , Miss Marie B
num. of Mississippi , to "c
) ut , " as the phroso goo ? , t
Jeeves that were ready for market , a :
, o pen them in the cattle pen at the ra
road station. The wild Texas slot
nroro full of life and run , and the co
} oys had their hands full , with all thi
skill , to got thorn penned. Col. Dun
who is a typical cowman , mounted
mustang to help the cowboys , and 1
iloco insisted upon going aloog with hii
She could not bo persuaded that the
iaa any danger In the adventure , or th
icr dross and sex placed her at any di
idvantngo In an olFort for which the co
joys were rigged with Mexican spurs , I
oathor leggings , throe or foor rovolvoi
arlats at their aaddlo horn , big whi
sombraroa with rattlesnake skins twist
about them , and watch chains of sna
rattles. She insisted that If aho could g
a swift pony and sldo saddle she wou
show that aho could ride alongside of t
wildest steer and turn him , in spite oft
dangeroui horns. The pony was provl
ed , and Mis Bynum , placing her foot
ho hand of a cowboy , leaped into tl
aaddlo , and , gathering up the relt
lashed off with a hearty laugh , follow' '
> y her escort of cotrbqys , who spun ov
ho pralrlo after hor. She roluod up
, hey came into the herd , as the procc
of selection of the beeves required
quick judgment that only oxporlon
; ives.
The cowboys wont into the herd , ai
heir trained ponies , when they we
pointed to steers that were to bo "c
out , " ran thorn out of the herd ; and ,
bon as the bunch was formed , the cov
toys swung around thorn , and MI
Jynum , with a lash made of the end
ho reins , started her pony forward at
olned in the semi-circle and aoparati
ho steers to the pen. The work was e :
itlng to a novice , and the fair cowgirl
ihoeks flushed as oho sped along. A b
> rown steer , all branded ever , reared u
nd , breaking out of the line , tossed h
orna and tall up and started off like
oer. Miss Byuum whirled her per
nd started after the animal. She di
tor work bravely. The cowboys watchc
'ior with admiration. Her pony dashc
longsldo of the steer , and the cowboi
xpectod that , as the animal turned , I
would catch his horns in her drapery , (
ho would plunge over the pony's head i
o turned with the steer. They saw hi
top as the steer turned and balance ho :
elf like a skilled equestrienne , and the
oad oft the steer and turn him bacl
eon she came dashing back alongsld
tie steer and landed him in the bunc
: iat was headed for the pen. Several <
tie cowboys pronounced her a "thai
ughbrod" and a "long horn" the1
hoiceat compliments , for , in the fertll
ocabnlary of the cowboy , the tern :
'half breed" and "short horn" are equ
alont to the "tendertoot" of days goo
y , with , perhaps , a shade more of derli
on to them.
Miss Bynum , when the first lot of ca
lo was penned , dashed back to the here
nd with a little Instruction began i
lelp "cut out" the cattle. Eioh tri
rom the herd to the pen was marked b
omo exciting chasa of a steer , and cac
[ mo the young woman bore burse
ravely , and oho did not lot a slngl
toes escape. When at the pen , c
Thich the cattle , with apparent consc !
nsnoss of their impending fate after thong
eng trip to Chicago , showed fear , the
rlod hard to escape. With heads dowr
10 steers that could would dart past th
ontes and dash away , and tbo nearot
owboy would touch his spurs to th
ony'a sldo and point his and start o
10 chttso. The wild Texas steers ar
wift.footed , and it takes a good rider t
ass ono and turn him , but Miss Bynni
vaa equal to every steer that invited he
ony to run , although she was In immod
ate danger of being dragged off he
nouut by the horns of some steer stril.
ig her riding habit , she was able t
nanago her skirts as well as her ponj
nd when the task was onoed she coc
omplated the fores of horns in the cattl
en with sparkling eyes and rosy oheoki
That night when the cowboys wei
linking their black collco and eatin
icir jerked buffalo meat , they agreed t
resent Miss Bynum with some token c
icir appreciation of her assistance and
ow days ago there cainu to the Bank <

irele of gold to his niece , and paid that 1
oped that it would signify an engagi

"I never enjoyed anything so much i

'and , would you believe it ? I didn

Wo have already taken occasion to i
for to an Important article published
the Boston Ulobo on the returns of t
late election for president. These i
turns have thus been obtained
response to a circular letter ] trausm
ted to each secretary respectively by t
proprietors of the Globo.
The following la the result thus vo
fiod :
The whole number of voles given f
president on the four electoral tickc
was 10,036,057 , of which Grover Clo\
and received 4,812,292 ; James G ; Blain
1,810,219 ; Benjamin 1 < \ Butler , 234,8-1
and John P. St. John , 148,008. To tl
aggregate tboro is to bo added 2,2
scattering nnd defoctlvo votes.
In place , therefore , of the 60,000
124,000 plurality which has boon coi
puled In various quarters for Grov
Cleveland , it will bo soon that his nctu
plurnllty is but 32,073 , while In the o
tire country ho Is In a minority of 35 !

Of the votes given for Cleveland , 1
012,820 came from the "secession atato
nnd 3,820,472 from the romalnii
twenty-eight. The solid south ga
Cleveland 1,716,232 votes. With such
disproportion of votes in those states , tl
question , though useless , Is pretty auro
bo brought up , whether those states ha
not at present more than their jnat aha
cf Influence in the electoral colleges ai
tiouao of representatives. Small as w
: holr vote for Cleveland , that for Blnli
waa still smaller , showing that a vo
largo proportion of the legal votora
.hoao states absented themselves fro
.ho polls. The Glebe indicates the actu
number and computes the porcodtago
.ho voters that thus refrained fro
voting : In Kentucky the percentage w
33 ; in Virginia it wan , 37 ; in Texas , 3
n Arkansas , 42 ; in Alabama , 47 ; in Lo
slana , 55 ; in Mississippi , 56 ; iu Sou
Carolina , 62 ; and in Georgia , 66. Tl
extensive absenteeism certainly giv
aomo color to the charge that n largo pr
portion of the voters are kept away fro
: ho polls by intimidation.
The bragging of the independon
mugwumps ] that they saved the olectic

The private secretary of Prosldei
Arthur is eaid to have predicted befoi
ho election that 35 000 republican vote
yould bo turned from Blaine to Clovi
and in the state ; but undoubtedly tli
lumber so voting far in excess of this o
Imato. Yet this revolt of the stalwar
ave the state to the domocrato by enl
an Insignificant pluarality.
The breach thus occasioned in the ri
mblican ranks Is already substantial ]

f no renewed bitterness is caused by ti

The roatpration of Now York to he
