Id In his speech at Paris on Monday
27th ult., Maj W, J. Sykes, said if
any man had any doubts as to the
effects which the railroad would
lhave on Paris, LET him look around
and see what effects. had been pro
duced by railroads even since the
war. Columbia he said voted $780,
GOO to the Duck River Valley Road,
$25,000 Of which had been expend-
ed. This vote was taken in Decem-
beE,s1872, and they now had twenty
miles Of the road graded from Co
lumbia to Lewisburg, in Marshall
county. More new houses-busi
ness and dwelling hous ses-had been
buitin Columbia since December,
1872, than had BEEN built there in
ten years before. The population
and wealth of the town had increas-
ed greatly, and even now they have
gained twice as much as they have
Expended. aIF ! 7l4
Il Pulaski voted $4,000 to the Menu
phis road1ast June, none of which
has yet, been leYpeRded, though
the work had commenced on the
road in Giles and Lawrence coun-
ties. When the vote was taken
there were several vacant houses on.
sthe.squaFe, besides many residences.
f1n two months after the vote was
taken there was not a vacant house

mess sslaBuses;andresi had since
been built. 3d2 cl1E I'd
|. jackson was a model of eEter-
prise In additIcA to her railroad
subscriptions, which had been lib
eral, she had given 100000 to get
the-work Shops of the New Orleans
Foad. The effects of this liberal
policy you all know. But if you
want to see the effect of a railroad
Subscription, look at the West side
ofyour Public Square uia
ufEhe'Yote of Paris to she Cairo &
Tennessee River Railroad was taken
in September, 1873; and since then,
in the midst of ''hard times" the
finest block Of buildings in Paris
had been erected, in fact, buildings
worth more than all the other build
ings on the Square which they had
been forty years in erecting. An of
these buildings he believed, were
occupied, and the wealth of Paris
had been increased twice as much
as the amount of her subscription.
cWhen'there wasno public spirit, DO
improvements were being made,
and there was no increase,of wealth.
If merely voting $4,000 would
have this effect the building of the
road would have much better, and
wonld double the wealth. Of the town
in avery few years. The reduction
upon the freights' on goods brought
to this town would soon pay for the
road To throw away the oppor-
tunityZOf getting this road would be
most disastrous policy.

A Very Aneeting story.

"A negro sat on the curbstone bare,
broodipg over his woes; sad was his
heart and kinky his hair, his gizzard-
feet were exposed to the air, and ex-
ceedingly seedy his clothes. And as
he sat in the cutting blast we had
to pity the cnss; he wistfully looked
at.each person that passed, and we
heard him soliloquize thus: OH
/ why did Abe, wTd de hachet face,
go set dis dafl1y free? I was hap
by at home wid de odder nigs, wild
plenty of whisky an feedin' like
pigs, an ole Dinah was happy wild
me. Ole massa was kind, an when
I was sick he fed me an kept me at
homes but now / feel sick, rse GOT
nothing to eat an has to sit here an
freeze in de. street. Oh why dld de
sburo' cum? In de winter time / sat
by de FIRE, wild de young 'uns, hus-
kim corn; bat now Use gotno hus-
kin tosdo, an no good IRE or house
to go to an my clos is all tattered
end tern, Inde summer time, when
de days work is done, We danced at
the cabin door; for we all was gay,
anhwe danced away to de good ole
mnsie Pete used to play; but I feels
like dancing no more, Obi if ole
massa would take me back on the
ole plantation agin, I'd nebber leave
for seech freedom as dis: but pd1
work mighty hard jist to show dem
how foolish Use been." Whenlthe
old darkye ceased, the big tears
from his eyes rolled down over his
cheeks very fast, and we left him
there, on the curbstone bare, expos
ed to the cutting blast. And we could
but think, as we passed along, oh
what has the .'buro" done? It fed
the negro in summer and spring, |
when he could get work at almost |
anything, but now lets him starve

Numerous applications for copies of
the Black Hills edition of the LEADER,
from various towns in California, have
reached this office, and the desired
papers have been forwarded. Mr.. J..
Newton Warren, the pioneer Black
Hills miner, now in this city, has re-
ceived Information from San Fran
cisco, hat a party of miners Is now
hcing organized there for the purpose
OF going to Northern Wyoming. Thus
the surplus population OF California
seeks other and more promising fields;
still the title of emigration to the
sO-called Golden State is flowing west
ward, and daily we see deludGd people
passing through Cheyenne to se0E
their fortunes on the Pacific slope A
recently returned Californian tell us
that thousands of people are leaving
California, having been unable 10 OBJ
tain employment. Twelve hundred
cmigrants were on one east bound
train during the blockade on the
Union Pacific, recently.
II is well known that the board of
immigration of California have for
years flooded the eastern states and
Europe with publications, setting
forth the advantages possessed by that
state and inviting immigration. The
thousands who have foolishly re-
spondcd to these appeals are now Bit
!erly repenting their acts, and are
hurrytng eastward as rapidly as their
limited means will permit. We may
look for thousands of C~alifornians,
who have determined to explore the
new and promising fields of Northern
Wyoming, so 20 a. the government
may declare it open for settlement.
These hardy miners and prospectors
will become valuable citizens of this
Territory, for to their indomitable
energy and go-aheadiveness will, in a
measure, be due the speedy exploration
of our rich mining districts, and the
occupation of our fine valleys and
timber covered mountains. We bid a
hearty welcome 10 all the people, from
whatever section of the country they
may come, who will help us to reclaim
from the wilderness the garden spot of
Wyoming.

The New York World has the fol-

which may explain recent rumors in
regard TO that road and the Union
Pacific:
1.-The excitement in Kansas Pacific
followed upon some agreement en-
tered into between the Kunsas and
Union companics hs to through rates

being that the roads Will make close
connections now mt Cheyenne. The
rumor was also current hat the Kan

MILITARY NOTES.

Gen. Wesley Merritt, U. S. Army,
returned yesterday from an official
tour TO Fort Laramie, Camps Robinson
and Sheridan, and went on to Chicago
to report to Gen. Sheridan.
The North Platte has become en-
tirely u~nfordable, and there is no way
OF crossing o. except by the ferry
at Fort Laramie. At Janis, thirty
miles below, on the mail route, the
mails are carried across in a skifr. At
the crossing OF the Sidney road, still
lower down, there is not even n skiff,
30 that for the next three months the
only available means of crossing this
dangerous stream will be the govern
ment ferry at Fort Laramie.
There are people up this way, who
are churlish enough to think that the
iron bridge at Fort Laramie would
have been built last fall, if it had
not been for the curious interest taken
in the Sidney road by General Ord
and his subordinates at Grasshopper
Headquarters.

General Crook, we learn, did not
stop In Omaha. his temporary head
quarters, but proceeded to Chicago,
where he Is to meet Gen. Sheridan,
the commander of this military divi-
sion, for consultation. We trust that
. decisive campaign win he agreed
Upon by these military ohieftains, one
that will open to US Northern Wyo-
ming and protect our citizens there In
the future.
Gen. Crook is one of the gallant
soldiers whose names will ever be re-
vered by the pioneers of the west
they have implicit confidence in him,
and they know that lie will not dis
appoint them. The people of Arizona,
whom he has liberated from the
domination OF the Apaches, owe him
debt OF gratitude which they can
never pay, for it is almost wholly due
to the policy thai he pursued with the
indians, that brought about n reign of
peace in that territory, and put an end
to depredations by numbering, plum
dering savages. When forced to make
war upon the Indians, he did so with
vigor, yet always exercising a feeling
OF mercy and a spirit of humane jus
tice, till the very savages, while they
feared him, yet learned to respect and
esteem him almost as a friend. The
people Of I Wyoming look to Gen.
Crook for the Inauguration of an. era
OF peace along this frontier.

Parties, who do not advertise, " as
q general thing" often acknowledge
the value of advertising, by asking of
the editor n puff" as they call it.
They are willing to pay ten cents a
line for what may be considered an
editorial on their business, their wares
and their standing as business men in
this community. Such a puff" if
they can get it, answers, in their opin-
ions, for a years or six months adYer-
Using, and thus they get for a dollar
or two for what others have to pay a
hundred or more. We have w
made a practice of complying with the
above mentioned requests, and, there
fore, have often been obliged to refuse
to manufacture "puffs" for some of
our good friends, who do not believe
in advertising as a general thing"
We will insert your oWn "pufs" for

to write editorials for your especial
