"I mean," explained the sagacious Mid subtle Daniel, "that an attentive perusal of our leading party organs, to My nothing of the Republican papers, renders it only too evident that you •re Pan-Electrifying the country with your present brand of reform."

The wild horseaof the plains and the Bocky Mountains are pretty much a thing of the past. Nevertheless a few Isolated herds are said to be occasion­ ally found. A Montkna writer says, in substance, of these isolated bauds, that with the wild horses a stallion is at the bead, and is the leader of every herd, having such control over them that no band of cowboys are able to drive a band of horses so fast or so well as a stallion can. All in the band are so, thoroughly afraid of him they keep in bunch, and their speed Is gaged by his own, he running behind with his head low, scarcely above the ground. He advances quickly on the hindermost ooes, giving them to understated they most keep up, should one turn out he follows him, much after the fashion of a shepherd dog, and runs hln^back until his band Is out of sight in the mountains, in ravines, canons, and in aocessible places, so that when the rider arrives at the place he last saw them he is mortified to find his own horse almost exhtasted and the herd •o scattered that he must give up the Chase in disgust.
