"Why, don't you know that Red

Jerry. "Ogh! That much for Red

his fingers. "Faix; Jerry the Fool is

The stranger laughed, and then rode
on in silence till they came to lonely
part of the road, when he drew a
brace of pistols, and told Jerry to
hand over all the money he had about
him, or he'd try if he had any brains
by sending a couple of bullets through

"Mcala murther!" roars Jerry in a
tone of fright, "You don't mean to say

There is reason to apprehend that
the "cold snap Of the past two OF three
days and nights has been a serious ca
lamity to a large area of country, es-
pecially in the South, where the fruit
trees have been in blossom and vegeta-
tion and the growing grain well advan-
ced. The "freeze" has probably killed
the fruit and sadly damaged the garden
crops throughout wide region of

it is entirely within the power of Cen
eral Sheridan to send out such an ex-
petition, and there would be no addit-
ional expense on account of it. But
he has no information, except as stated
above, of the purpose of General Sher-
idan.
The Big Horn mountains, which the
report says General Custer will pene-
trate, are about $50 miles west of the
Black Hills and they are a portion of
the Rocky mountain range. The
country between these mountains and
the Black Hills is like that south and
east of the latter, and may be properly
described as a desert. The information
concerning the Big Horn country is
very general, though its principal to-
biographical features are well mapped.
General Custer will be able 10 make an

A few evenings before the recent

in favor Of an economical admins

sist in the nomination of cand idates.
At the caucus so-called, A. e. Cook,
who las never left an opportunity to
damage the city or village pass unim-
proved, presided. On election day the
Republicans OF the Second Ward stood
back with their fingers in their mouths
and let DR.. D. G. Davies, one Of the
candidates of that caucus, be elected

The KRepubHra,t*
PEACE IN LOUISIANA.

The entire country has reason to re-
joice over the peaceful solution to the
Louisiana imbroglio which at one time
bid fair to cause so much distraction to
the people of that state. The settle
ment of the differences was achieved
through the acceptance by the Louis
lana Legislature of the compromise
offered by the Congressional Committee.
This committee was composed of Con-
gressmen Wheeler, Hoar, Marshall,
Phelps, Frye and Potter. The agree
ment is that Governor Kellogg and his
associates IN Office will be recognized
as the lawful government of the State
until the expiration of their terms, and
the Legislature shall be constituted in
exact accordance with the award of
compromise. The proposition was
finally accepted by vote of torty-6ve
Democrats and forty-four Republicans,
against thirteen Democrats and five
Republicans The members unseated
retired gracefully, and their seats were
taken by those whom the Returning
Board counted out last fall. The re-
firing members said that they yielded
to the compromise in the interest of
peace and harmony, hoping all the
terms of the compromise would be car
ried out in good faith.
Thus has storm been quelled in
Louisiana, order brought out of chaos
and we sincerely hope an enduring
peace for the people of the state es-
tablished. If this compromise proves
successful it may be considered by the
country as one one of the most thor
ough and genuine acts Of reconstruction
performed since the war

OMAHA, April 16.-The high water
which for several days past has delayed
trains on the Union Pacific Road, has
finally become so high that travel is
entirely suspended between Laramie
City, Wyoming, and Ogden, Utah.
The water is six feet deep in many
places, and still rising 1t is impossi-
bic to predict when travel will be re-
sumed. TIE canons are reported full
of snow, and it is well known that the
depth Of snow which fell last winter
is the deepest for many years. The
location Of the present trouble is the
Bitter creek valley, 800 miles west of
Cheyenne. Passenger trains which
left here on the 18th, 18th and 18th
are laying at Laramie City and Raw
Inns. Those which left Ogden since
the 18th are laying at points west of
Green river. All are in good quarters
and well cared for. The Union Pacific
officials advise travellers for Utah and
California not to start till notice of the
blockade being broken is given.
A dispatch from Fort Laramie, to-
day says: Captain NIix's company,
who ware sent after the mining party
at Harney's Peak, has secured the
whole of them, consisting Of sixteen
men, one woman and a boy, and will
