A MODEST PHoToaRApHER. = The
Cheyenne Ners of the 18th instant
tells the following. Cheyenne artists
are modest:
One of our most respectable and
virtuous photographers was thrown
from his dignity and shocked the other
day by q vision In the form Of a beautl-
full girl, Invested of all artificial habili-
ments. a lady entered his gallery,
and while he was engaged In preparing
his instrument, she commenced tile
process of disrobing and before the
modest artist had any idea Of what was
going on, the divine creature stood be-
fore him In all the simplicity and ma
tive grandeur Of "nature unadorned."
There she stood, moro beautiful than
an angel, and twice rs natural ; her
snowy breasts FACILITATING In bewilder-
ing loveliness ; her beautifully-rounded
shoulders, half concealed by rich
masses of dark flowing hair. 1t was n
sight for an artist-a vision for q poet
or any other man. Our polite photo
grapher, who Is presumed never to
have witnessed such a spectacle during
his past career, was naturally aston
ished and placed hors du combat. He
acted, however, with perfect sang frotd,
and being n virtuous man, turned his
back on the unusual exhibition and
commenced n critical examination Of
picture on the wall 70 mirror opposite
to the visitor. The fair visitor said
she wanted a picture full length and
life size, and insisted upon having 1t
then and there; but the affable artist
(still gazing on the picturel induced
her, by an Irresistible burst Of elo-
quence, to put on her things and de-
part IN peace. Such examples of self.
possession and presence Of mind are
rare, even in photographers.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN ILLINOIS,

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN IILINoIs.-
A terrible tragedy Is reported ut Rock
Grove, Winnebago county, Illinois. A
farmer residing near that place, having
sold his farm and received the money,
was returning home OIL last Wednes-
day night, when he met q man who
demanded his money. Drawing his
revolver he shot the robber dead, and
soon after had an encounter with two
other men, whom he also killed.
Reaching his house, he found his
daughter lying murdered, and his wife
badly wounded, but not dead. The
names of the parties are not given, but
a Chicago dispatch says that the de-
tails of the fair, though coming from
different sources, are nearly identical.
One Of the dead men las been recog-
uized as a stranger who wished to buy
the farm.
