i the safest, spcedicst, cheapest and
best, to reach the Black Hills.
Cheyenne is at the junction Of the
two connecting railroads from the
east-the Union Pacific and Kansas
Pacific. 1t will be two days rail
road travel to Cheyenne from Chicago
or st, Louis. The following table
will show the distance and present
rate of fare from these two points to

The Sharpest Wheat Transaction.

A California exchange relates a story
about a solid old farmer who came into
town, and learning that wheat was being
sold readily at 81 and upward, felt rather
chagrined over the fact that he had dis
posed of his crop the previous week at
S1.G3. He told the commission mer-
chant TO whom he had sold his grain
that inasmuch as he had made good
speculation on his former buy he ought
now to purchase the balance of his crop
at good round sum. When asked how
much wheat he had left he replied " one
sack" and that he wanted the highest
figure that had been paid to anybody
this season, namely, 81 80. The buyer
immediately closed the bargain and took
the wheat Our agricultural friend then
strolled around town, and stated that he
had sold his wheat Che didn't say how
how much) at 81. 80, and that the market
was "away up" Nobody believed him,
and bets were freely offered and taken
that there was nothing in it. The farmer
kept taking the bets and sending his
victim to the grain dealer for proof, until
he gathered in about $50 in coin. 1t was
the sharpest wheat transaction of the
/ season, beside being capital Joke
The best part of the latter is that one of
the victimized betting gentlemen is q
clerk in the house where the enormous
sale was made, and was sold for larger

up some cousins in the vicinity, an old

his Che member's) wife, and several
other relations, and sponged his living
off of them for the larger part of the ses-
sion. When he settled mp with the hotel

Eauine Suicide.

The San Francisco Alta prints this
story "The latest sensation reported to
the police is the death of horse under
circumstances which indicate that the
magnificent animal willfully or with
malice aforethought made away with his
own life. Some weeks ago Mr.. Ed
wards, local druggist, gave valuable
young horse TO trainer to break. The
animal appeared as tractable as the ma
iority of colts of his age, and his edu-
cation progressed rapidly until Saturday
afternoon, when the trainer drove him
cut to the ocean beach. AS soon as the
colt caught sight of the bound dless deep
he was seized with fit of emotional in
sanity, and taking the bit in his teeth he
dashed off toward the breakers. Think
ing that dash of water would cool his
ardor, the trainer made no extraordinary
efforts to check his colt, but when he
found himself in three fathoms of water,
with the infatuated animal still heading
for the sea, he concluded it was time to
change his tactics, and resigning his rib
bons, he plunged into the water and swan
ashore. The colt, however, continued
on his course till exhausted by battling
with the waves, and incumbered with the
wagon, he ceased to swim and tlu ned
over on his side limp and inanimate.

are as many more layers, belonging to

fitted into this. These are elastic. Take

LAST Hours OF GEN. JOHN G. Brock
INRIDGE.-Lexington, KY, May 49,
General John g. Breckenridge died of
abscess of liver combined with con-
sumption. His last hours were quiet
aud peaceful. Or Sunday night he was
very restless and sent during the night
for his regular physician, who admins
tered an opiate to the sufferer, after
which he slept until late next morning.
Then he was visited by DR.. Louis A.
Sayre, of New York, who dressed the
wound made by the operation on Mon
day. Last week the doctor seeing that
a discharge was taking place from the
wound expressed himself hopeful of the
patients rapid recovery with proper
attention. After this the sufferer took
some nourishment. AT three o'clock in
the afternoon change for the worse
was perceptible, and his friends became
alarmed. Stimhlants were administered
but without effect. He sank rapidly I'M
til near five o'clock, when hs became

to six o'clock. lie was conscious APP
parently up TO within few minutes OF
death. The only illusions he made to
death were once after the operation
performed on him last week by Drs.
Sayre and Gross, when he said he felt
so comfortable he believed modification
had set in, and again in his will made
next day by Hon. Jas. B. Beck, in
which he used these words, "after all
my just debts, which are few and small,
and the expense of modest funeral are

n9 MAJOR DOUGLAS AND Mrs. BAR

Dar MAJOR DOUGLAS AND Mrs. BAR
BARA FRIrcnIE.- letter written at
Hagerstown to the Baltimore Sun says:
Last Saturday I had a conversation
with Maj. II. Kyd Douglas, of this
city, who was, during the late war, on
Gen. Stonewall Jackson 3 staff, upon the
subject of Whittier's poem, barbara
Fritchle." The following is what the
major, who was with Gen. Jackson at
the time, says in regard to the incident
about which that poem processes to be
written: Jackson's corps crossed the
Potomac into Maryland September 5,
1862, and on that day an admiring
civilian presented the general with a
large grey horse. The next morning,
when he tried to ride him, he became
unmanageable, and in rearing fell back
wards upon the general, who was so
severely hurt that it was sometime be-
fore he sufficiently recovered to be
moved. He was then. placed in an
ambulance, and turned his command
over to Gen. u. Ii. Hill. Jackson stop
ped about three miles short Of Freder-
lex, and established his headquarters in
Best's Grove. as also did Gems. Lee and
Longstreet. He did not 60 into Fred
erick that day, and certainly was not
"riding ahead of the rebel tread" which
passed through Frederick to the other
side. While encamped near Frederick
he kept closely in his tent, seeing very
few of the many citizens who called on
him. On Sunday night he asked Ma
jors Douglas and Morriso,y of his staff,
to co to church with him, and; was Ia
ken to town in an ambulance, There
being no service in the Presbyterian
Church, he went to hear DR.. .Zacharias,
at the Evangelical Reformed. Church,
and, as usual, went TO-, sleep. !, On the
morning of the 10th Jacksons corps
was put in motion and the general went
to Frederick in an ambulance; and then
mounted his horse. While the army
was passing through, he rode with
Major Douglas to the houseof Rev. DIR.
Ross, the Presbyterian pastor, and left
a note for him with a servant with in
structions to deliver it when the doctor
got up, but not 10 awake him for: the
purpose. That being done, he, went
directly and by the shortest cut to the
Hagers,own pike, and put himself at
the head of the column. Nothing like
that which is. related by, Mr.. Whittier
ever occurred, and General jackson and
Barbara Fritchie never saw each other.
In reading of The "tear", which he
(Whittier] would drop on "Stouewall's
bier" for the sake of Mrs. Fritchie, one
I is reminded of Mark T~ain's weeping
at the tomb of Adam.

that she was not his wife, as he had
been previously married and his wife
was living at Ithaca, aAd with this be
took his departure, . feayiDg the dis
