HOMEMADE BARoAIETERs.- Take two
sheets of pasteboard paper of any con-
venient size, say three feet long by
two feet wide. Bring the ends togeth-
er, and glue or paste them tight, each
sheet by itself; and they will look like
two pieces of paper stovepipe. Cut
thin, round boards exactly to fit In the
ends of these paper cylinders, carefully
two air-tight paper drums with wooden
heads. Take pole of any length you
desire-three feet or twelve feet; let
one drum be fastened to each end OF
the pole. Now balance this pole with
the drums on each end, on nice pivots,
in the middle. Then bore a gimlet
through the end of one drum, and you
have a good farmers barometer. One
drum is air tight; one has hole la it;
SO there will be more or less air in one
drum than there is in another, accord
ing as the surrounding air is dense or
rarefied. Consequently, in dense or
heavy air, the tight drum rises, while
the one with hole in it goes down.
Crosswise through the middle of the
bar or pole should run a stick as large

should vibrate or teeter. Let the ends
of the pole be slightly lower than the
middle, that the whole do not make

so that no air enter. only In the pune

can slide through the bar, TO keep it

LIFE AT CHEYENNE-THE ''1IGER. -
There was unusual excitement ON
Seventeenth street last night. The
Greenback room, after lying dormant
for some time, has been reopened
under another management, Martin
having leased the same for 81, 600 per
month. A splendid brass band played
operate airs with variations from the
balcony, and at one time there were
certainly thousand people assembled
listening to the dulcet strains. The
scene was animated beyond description.
Hundreds elbowed themselves In and
out of the Greenback room. The faro,
roulette, and other tables were crowded
with spectators, aud players bent on
tempting the smiles of fortune. To
give some idea of the interior of the
building, we VII mention tina there
were six billiard tables, sixteen faro
and roulette banks, and one keno bank
in operation. The bar and Sternberg-
er's cigar stand had, of course, their
circle of admirers, and greenbacks
were flying around like waste paper.
Immediately opposite, the Gold Room
maintained its usual attractive powers.

Earl Cardigan died in England on

dashing cavalry officer, and as the
leader of the ''Oharge of the Light
Brigade" at Balaklava, stands iair

professional as vel as 10 private life he
was a brutal and overbearing tyrant,
and was cordially hated by his subOr.
dinates, with whom on several occa-
sions he was brought into unpleasant
collision.
AT public school exhibition in a
Michigan village, one of the visitors
made brief address to the pupils, on
the necessity of obeying their teachers
and growing up loyal and useful citi-
zens. To give emphasis to his re-
marks, he pointed to a large national
flag, spread on one side of the room,
and inquired, "Boys, what is that flag
for?" A little urchin. who understood
"the situation" of the house better
than the speaker, promptly answered.:
