Lady FrankIln--FaithfuI Even After
Death.

There is something both touching and
appropriate in the petition OF Lady
Franklin, lying in dangerous and perhaps
mortal illness, for the prayers Of the
American people. Ii was an American
expedition which brought to an end her
terrible and long lingering suspense.
From McClintock and his brave com.
rades she at least learned that not to be
doubted news that her gallant and heroic
husband had persisted amid the icy mys-
teries Of the farthest north. Lady Frank.
lin did not need this proof of American
interest in her life purpose and hearts
work: her sutferings, her noble heroiSm,
her untiring energy, her uncOwed spirit,
have always received our warmest sympa-
thies. Surely her appeal will be answer
ed, If not in the churches, where per-
haps it will beat least in thousands Of
hearts impressed with the beauty of her
devotion throughout the land. The old
classic tales of wifely fidelity and self.sac.
rifce almost pale before her heroic search
for her husbands fate for more than
thirty years. Left alone at an age when
it is proper TO be joyous, and excusabe
TO be giddy and forgetful, she has passed
early and later youth, womanly pride,
and oncoming age in this constant, heart.

lieyed that her hero husband, dead or
alive, must be. We may guess that for
long years there dwclt hope in her heart
that Sir John was yet alive that nc had
somehow escaped, perhaps, from the vast

Franklin must indeed have been a noble
man TO have inspired such devotion in

There is danger of an Indian difficulty
on the northeastern Kansas frontier.
Several bands Of Cheyennes and 0toes
are preparing for hunt in the Valley Of
the Republican RIVER, and the settlers in
that locality threaten to attack and
drive them back. The Indians all pro-
pose to be friendly, but the settlers de-
clare that, with the rccollections Of last
seasons little experience still fresh in
their minds, they do not propose TO waste
time or take chances in Distinguishing
peaceable Indians from hostile ones, but
will shoot every red skin in sight that
makes his appearance near there. Gov.
Osborne leaves tomorrow for the scene
Of the threatened disturbance, with
view TO preventing any such rash pro.
ceeding on the part Of the excited people.

WHERE is CANADA BILL,

We hear of q neat little game re-
Gently played upon the proprietor of
p hotel, in this city, that makes us
hope we have a rising genius in our
midst, who, with patient perseverance
will equal if not eclipse the famous
Canada Bill. William needs to look
out for his l~aurels.
An easy-golng, Emphatic, honest
appearing chap, whose name, for tho
purpose of this story, shall be LAYER
lex, put up some weeks ago ut II of
our numerous hostehies, and respond
ed promptly ut meal time. He paid
for his ragout and bouillou weekly in
advance, for n couple of weeks, and
then fell behind hand on the plea Of
an expected remittance. He was
grubbed for three weeks on tick,
partly because of his simple, honest,
plain ~demeanor, and partly because Of
the favorable opinion 'mine host"
had formed of him. One day last
week our host dropped in to one of
our numerous retreats to take one
thing with a spoon in it, when he saw
Laverick seated at a table, engaged in
agame of cards with a chap having
the suspicious air and appearance of q
capper or outside man.
There were a few pieces Of currency
on the table before Laverick, and the
landlord, thinking that the expected
remittance had-arrived, began to grow
npprehensive that Iaverick would get
tieeced, and he himself chiseled out of
the overdue board. He walked to
the table just as the gentleman capper
raked down a pot, and Laverick bung-
lingly dealt the cards and put up a
fifty cent ''ante." He told him that
he thought it would look better if he
would ''ante" up to him for three
weeks board, instead OF wasting his
time and losing his money in that
way.
Resides said he, gambling is a
damned poor business, anyhow! There
are lots of chaps laying around here,

There are some so-called builders
in town, who are engaged in growing
because Denver mechanics and build
ers are likely to do the work and fur
nish the material for the new hotel.
Growing is one of the high preroga-
tive rights Of American citizenship,
and quite as necessary to the pursuit
of happiness as the light of day, or
the air we breathe. Builders, and those
who think they are builders, have an
unqucstionaOle right to grOwl. And
they can be growled at too, by those
who want TO build, with impunity.
The limited supply of building mate
rial in this place, and the way-up-in-
the-moon prices asked for 1t, together
with high and ~Cxtravagnnt figures for
building, are first class grounds for
growing on the part of those who
want to improve the place. The so
called builders who think themselves
capable of maintaining n corner" on
building material and mechanical la
Dor, may find it more prudent and
profitable after 4 while, to try and
compete in a businesslike way for the
erection Of buildings here. For good,
w~orkmaulike jobs, the lowest compe-
tent bidder will invariably get the
preference.

Laverick looked up into his advis-
or's face With unaffected surprise and
establishment at the warming, nt the
same time picking up a hand Of three
aces and two kings,

until each had up e~ighty-hve dollars,
when the hotel MAI called for a show
down, quite confident of his success.
The other player laid down four
dcuces and a five rTOt.
"That wins the money"-snid the
hotel man, and he walked out of the
saloon in n nervous way and with n
melancholy micn, but determined TO
retrieve his loss in n proper nanue by
compelling his bOarders to subsIst on

1t is the belief of one of our most
enterprising and prominent citizens,
who has taken some pains to inform
himself upon the subject, that a good
system Of water works can be secured
for this city for an expenditure of less
than twenty-five thousand dollars.
He says that a siX-inch pipe will sup
ply the wants of the city in all it's
departments, public and private, until
its population shall have increased to
twelve thousand Inhabitants. This
estimate will include twenty-five by
drants for the city. Private hydrants
to be constructed from the pipes to
residences, stores and gardens at pri-
Tate e expense.
We trust the Board of Trustees will
give the water supply question their
consideratc attention at an early day.

He was well sustained too, by the la

not impcl those who drank it to en-

did those of the fellow Digges when

Nor did draught of his peer in those
days result in cuusing those who drank
it to be run into the police courts.
