large lumU-r crews high up in the
bierriu Mist Lucas is a tall, lithe and
well built girl, with red. rcwy cheeks,
jet black hair, bright, flashing eves,
and is the acknowledged belle of that
vicinity. She is an intrepid horse
woman, and rides fearlessly and alone
over the mountain slopes and through
the ravines, rjlie scorns a saddle, and
at times rides a llery mustang without
either bridle or blanket, simply using
a lariat, the end tied arouiid her

Sometime the young miss assists in

the lariat is twirled null a precision

A few weeks ago, after a during
ride after a pai ticulirly wild and Heel
footed steer, which diowed tight from
the start, the young lady laughed at
the vaquero, who seemed afraid of
the animal, and smilingly challenged
him to throw a rope over the animal's
head aud ride him. The vuquero de
stined with thanks. Miss Lucas then
displayed a piece of courage and dar
ing worthy of the ancient liouian
arena, (springing from her horse, she
went up to the bound and bellowing
beast, quickly and deftly tied a rope
around his head and neck, and then
told the vaquero to let him loose.
This he did reluctantly, and the en
raged steer was quickly on its feet,
but equally as quick the fearless lusg
was on its back. Then commenced a
ride that is rarely witnessed, for
half an hour the wild chase and ride
was continued over hill and dale,
through brush and canyon- when the
steer gave completely out and the
triumphant girl led her captive to the

A Strange Man.
Ouo hardly expects a minister of re
ligion to Iw a scolf'er, but luic Vos
sius, the eccentric Dutch scholar, who
died on I'eb. 10, K5S9, furnished a
sti-dii;re exception to accepted usage.
Charles II had made him canon of
Windsor in 1CC4, soon after his ar
rival in England. Never was a cleri
cal olliee undertaken by a man who
was m entirely until for'it. Although
a canon of W indsor, he ditl not be
lieve in the divine origin of the Chris
tian religion, and he treated religious
matters with contempt, although in
other things he was -exceedingly
credulous, (iharles 11 once smd of
of biim "This learned divine is a
strange ninnj he will believe anything
but the Bible." When he attended
divine service in thechael of Wind
sor be used to read the poems of Ovid
instead of the prayer book. Vossius
knew all the European languages
without being able to siieak one of
them corw:ctly. On his death lied he
reiused the sacrament and was only
prevailed upon to take it by the re
mark of one of his colleagues that if
he would not do so for tho love of Godr
he ought to do it for the honor of the
chapter to which he belonged.
Vossius took an odd delight in hav
ing his bnir combed in a meas
ured or rhythmical manner, and he
would have it done only by barbers or
other persons skilled in the rules of
prosody. Philadelphia Times.

(rreat staple, and the poor eat
little else. The amount consumed
by each person where rice is
the sole article of food is placed at
about one pint daily. When vege
tables and pork are obtainable .tlie
quantity of rice is reduced. The con
sul at tlimkow, in an interesting re
port on rice culture, says that a fam

exclusively upon rice, can live at a

; Wc would warn our customers against the drummers and agents who are paid
; bifj salaries to induce shipments to other markets than this, by promises to sell at
reduced commissions. After your tobacco is sliipcd it is from under your control J
