Prison Life in Wyoming Territory.

Putting a man in Jail in mountain
town amounts to but little. Some time
ago it became necessary to incarcerate
a negro, and as there was no jailor, the
negro was obliged to take care of him.
self. He kept the Jail clean, had good
bed, and altogether struck the best
thing he had seen in long time. He
carried the key of the Jail, went regu-
larly to his meals, and the county paid
"a day for his board. At the proper
time, each evening, he locked himself
up in the Jail, and slept soundly until
morning. During the daytime, he
went about doing odd jobs for those
who would hire him. But this was too
good to last. Everybody got tired of
the colored man, and he was discharged.
AS he gave back the keys to the Sheriff,
he burst into tears, remarking: "LoOk
a here, boss! Ef you want anoder man to
put in Jail, you better hunt me up. Use
always ready to do square turn for we,
and, eff you'll pay me well, I'll soon make

at the idea of again facing the world, and
said, GA man dat can't get along in de

The Union Pacific Lands.

The gentleman who conducts the land
department of the Union Pacific rail-
road has informed correspondent that
the company has actually received from
the Government grants of $4,000, 900
acres, or $4,000 square miles of land.
That is, it has received as much land as
is contained in the two States of Mary
land and Massachusetts, or in the two
States of New Hampshire and New Jer-
sey, or more than one-third as much as
there is in the State of Illinois. He
further states that the lands of the COM
pany consist of agricultural, pasture,
mineral and timber lands. It's most
valuable agricultural lands are in Ne
braska, extending $50 miles west from
Omaha, the richest being situated in
the valleys of the Platte, Elkhorn and
Loup rivers. The pasture lands are
found in the Laramie plains. The min
eral lands are in the Black hills, which
contain rich deposits of coal and iron.
The best timber is found on the Wasa-
leh range.
Down to November /, 1872 the COM
pany had sold 600, 900 acres of land for
50, 757, 1909. This is at the average rate
of $4.24 an acre, and a fraction over.
AT the same average rate the entire
grant would produce to the company the
snug sum of $51, 100000.
