THE STOCKMAN.
There is nothing so guy,
As when during Mny
The stockmen arc having thcte "round-up.
No longer in camp,
And in mud houses damp,
Tho jolly cow boys arc bound up.
The Mexican pony
Ho looks proud and tony,
And seems to feel winter is over;
Cures ad., for his master,
And runs all tho faster,
Ho is smelling the grass and the clover.
And many a beast
Is later shipped East
Wliilo westward goes many a dollar;
So stockmen come all
And dress up in tho fall,
Keal nobby from the feet to the collar.
A3 thoclothingmon's "Boss"
Is well known Kahn fc Sehlot-s.
Where the stockmen all moot and are trading
So you'll purchase 1 guess,
At the firm "K. & P."
Whose goods wear forever without fading.

' THE ZUNI INDIANS.
That the Itudian is capable of ad
vancement, the five civilized tribes
are a proof. In their nations com
posing these communities there will
he found both intelligence and piety.
They have a. form .of government,
which ir pretty woil adapted to the
relationship which- the tribes sus
tain toward the United States. Thoy
have newspapers .and schools, and
have advanced toward a consider
able degree of cultivation. They
have ncifc given the Government any
trouble for many years. They have,
although the tribal relation .is still
maintained, certain well defined
rights to 'the ownership of .property.

OBITUARY.
Entered into rest at Darlington,
January 25, 1882, James Bears
Heart, aged 35.
James Bears Heart was .one of the
Cheyenne captives taken to St. Au
gustine seven years ago. After their
release by the Government, .James
was for a time- at the Hampton, Va.
school, and nflerward at Carlisle,
Pen ii. Me returned to his people
in the spring of 1881.
"While at the East, he became a
member of the Church, and from
that time to his death, lived a singu
larly pure and gentle life. My first
acquaintance with him began in
June 1881. When we came to the
Territory, he met us at Caldwell and
brought us down to the Agency. I
was much pleased with his quiet
gentle ways, and particularly with
his reverent demeanor at our morn
ing and evening devotions. lie was
always present at the services of the
Church until he became too feeble
to attend.
After my return from the Lower
Agency, J .administered the com
munion to him in his tent, his
friends sitting by and looking won
deringly on. His disease was the
dreaded lung trouble of thorace,aud
at times he .suffered severely. He
talked with me freely about his ap
proaching death, expressing his firm
trust in his crucified Redeemer. He
told me that he wanted I should
take charge of his burial and of all
his things. His friends yielded to
his wishes, and did precisely as I
directed them in all the details of
the funeral, so that it was through
out a Christian service. The Agent
and his family were present, evincing
a warm-hearted Chilian sympathy

Looking on the map of "New Mex
ico, on.the eastern confines of Ari
zona, in latitude 84 and longitude 100
you will see the country of the Zu
nies. These Indians arc white as any
other people, have light, flaxen hair,
and the Indian ladies might even be
considered blonde beauties. Some of
them have red eyes albinos. The
women have regular, pretty feature? ;
are very modest, gentle,, mortal and
truthful as also arc the men. 'They

iWoVtftfter the Navajos, their ir.orc
warlike neighbors, conquered them,
or perhaps bcfoiie, they built their
village or town in the form of a
hollow square, as a quasi fortress.
Into this hollow square they lead
their flocks and herds at night, shut
the gate, climb up by ladders to the
roof of their adobe houses, haul up
the ladders and go to sleep in confi
dent security. The entrance to their
dwellings is only by the roof like
the Indians of Taos and other places
in .ew Mexico as a means of salo
ty. Their worship is a mixture of
idolatry and Catholicism, so far- as
could be ascertained. They worship
a very ancient figure of the Trans
figuration the origin of which they
know not and have no tradition.
Unlike the Navajos or Nabajoes
their neighbors they are a peaceful,
simple race, but are-dwindling t'way
and soon will become extinct, espe
cially a,a they intermarry other
marriages being strictly prohibited.

COLONEL MCKEN2
HE. y
Colonel McKoivic, who was lately
engaged in our Indian campaign, is
a person of some historical interest.
His name waf formerly William
Slidell, he being the won of Captain
Slidell, who, under the administra
tion of John Tyler, was in command
of the United States brig Vomers,
and who hanged Midshipman Nel
son, a son of Nelson, the secretary
of the Navy, to the yard arm, be
cause of his heading a mutiny on
the high seas. He is a nephew of
John Slidell, United States senator
from Louisiana at the outbreak of
the war. The name MciKenzie was
assumed by reason of a will by an
uncle who died in Scotland and left
him 20,000 sterling, conditional
upon his adopting ike jaamc ;f
Mc ftenisia. Stax.
Mr. Frank, of, the 'Swan Bros. .&
Frank Live Stock Company, if
Cheyenne, wbo'luu' been in tins city
recently, informs lis -that that com
pany now controls over 50,000 head
of cattle, principally in "Wyoming.
He reports the general a'ange excel
lent. 'but says the -grass on the Lar
amie plains is hardly so good this
winter, as it is farther north. Tho
cattiie interest in Wyoming is. enjoy
ing ft most healthy growth, and. a
grand improvement is being made
in the blood of the stock. Mr. Frank
has been buying fine Hereford and
Shout-horn bulls irealy, and cannot
get as many of Uho formor as he de
sires. Contracts for young bulls
have been made in Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and more western States.

Creek Herd;" is -the oldest breeder
of .polled cattle -in therState, and that

bred breeding cows of this tribe than
any other breeder in America; that

owner's own breeding pure-bred
Polled Sootts, Hereford and Short
horn cattle, and his heard now num

Mr. Kd. llewins paid .our city, a
flying visit Tuesday morning. He
can transact more business in tho
the shortest space of .time than any
one we know of. "We often wonder
if he sleeps. W. B. Helm returned
from St. Louis this week and is
stopping in the city. Mr. Helm in
forms us that he has, heard since his
arrival here that Ins cattle drifted
considerable during the late norther.
Mr. George Chastain came up
from Flitch's camp, and reports the
cattle looking fine and doing well,
but that they are terribly scattered.
He also informs us that Billy An

while following drifting cattle dur
the storm last week. Hunnowoll
