Then there waa a western "town" into which the buffalo often down at aad it wu not unusual Cor residents when they arose in the morning to see a bunch within rifle range of the houses.

Among tha dwellers in thia town was ono who, although he had lived on the frontier since tho early 60s, had nover killed a buffalo. One morning when-Hiram looked out of his door ha saw not far away a groat buffalo bull rubbing his ragged aides against the bole of (in old cottonwood tree. Hero was a chance such as had never before presented itself. "Such an opportunity might not occur au'aiu." and he waa tilled with a groat longing to kill thia bull. Seizing ft gun he crept out, and fitc.iiingthrough the sago brush and among the trees, was soon quite near tho bull.

Its immense size--for ho had before been close to a buffalo--somewhat startled tho hunter, but hp had eoue too far to retroat now. Feeling a littlo nervous, ho leveled his gun and fired. At tho report the bull jumped a littlo and then jjlarod slowly about with an air of tho utmost ferocity, aa if eaaer to pulverize whoever had Hrcd the shot.

there is any ono thing that ought to convince everybody that the anti-alive rmen are in distress over tho outlook, it is thmr expressed delr- 111 i ant ion to attempt to amond the silver bill when it comofi up so that all pensioners shall draw their pensions in cold, and all perfect receiving lees than $1500 per annum shall have the right to demand payment in gold. The anti-silver inou eiprens themselvea as satiaBed with tho result of tho caucus of ight before lut, but their threat to load down a frea coinage bill with aaiondmoaU their satisfaction assumed. If tha house should vote to distinguish between the two metals in the payment of private or debts, silver would not only suffer, but be debued until would not even rise to tho dignity of being called money. If the free coinage people are able to pass a bill the; can be relied on to of no amendment that will in tho least debase tha metal. The rule to set a day will bo discussed and an attempt made by tha anti-silver men, by amendment, to have the day for consideration set for soino time next session.

It Is probable and the silver mm are confident of it-that the day on which tho bill will coino up will be about the 23d of noit month.
