a Mystery Solved
Lucy H. Hooper writes to tho Philade1phia Press
IA strange mystery which had Of late much e1
ercised the wits OF the Pariaian police has JUS
been solved in an exasperatingly eimpla manner
About week ago two merchants On passing
along tho Boulevard de Grenelle came upon Ihe
body Of . yonng man covered with blood. anG
lying upon the sidewalk. They raised him, fel,
his pulse and heart, aud became convinced that
he was dead. ProppinE up the supposed corpse
against the vail they went in haste to warn the
police, but when. accompanied by band Of ser
geants de vile, they returned to the spot. they
found that the body had Disappeared. Only a
pool Of blood upon the sidewalk remained to
prove the truth of their assertion. On inyesti~
CATION the police discovered that three night
providers OF the environs had that night at
tackled some unknown person. These three men
were at once arrested. but still all efforts to dis
cover the body OF their victim proved fruitess.
The vacant lots in the neighhorhood, the cellars
OF the adjoining houses. the Sewers aud the cata-
combs, al1 Were thoroughly searched, but in vain
living, what had become OF hin7 He was not
to be found in any OF the hospitals, and the pby-
elcians Of the quarter had heard nothing OF him.
The mystery grew thicker and thicker, when
finally the other day the supposed corpse walked
into the police station and gave his evidence.
After being severely wounded aud left for dead
ne remained for some time inaensible. On re-
V1vlng be had crawled home, and being young
and very tinaid fellow he had tried to keep his
adventure aB secret as possible, fearing somo
trouble from the police. His sister, with whom
he livad had tended his wounds, which were
more serious in appearance then in reality"

THE INDIAN QUESTION.

The NIndians in Wyoming are
known a s|Freaty Indians" living
on a reservation away from white
settlements. The northeastern part
OF Wyoming Is ySt neutral ground,
the ioux- Indians being permitted
by treaty stipulations to hunt over
the same. 1t is expected that Con-
greSs next winter will abrogate the
existing treaty and couhne these
Indians to their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of Wyom-
ing Territory. The pre- -e1t policy
of the government toward the Sioux
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1875-01-30

Is likely 10 result In permanent peace
and the civilization of these saVsges.
The Just and humane treatment Of
this war-iike tribe and the presence
OF United States troops at their agen-
cies, will prevent the recurrence Of
depredations which heretofore have
made this section of the Territory
unsafe and undesirable for settlement.
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The geyser region OF the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely set apart as n National Park,
Is unquestionably the most astonish-
ing combination of natural wonders
and of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report Of
United States geologists, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
park shall become accessible by rail-
rnads-say five years henee-we pre-
dict that il will become the great
summer resort and sanitarium OF the
continent. For sight-seers and lovers
Of the wonderful and picturesque it
will have more attractions than
Niagara, Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there is
the best reason to believe that the
myriads of hot and mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
liable curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de
lightfully cool, b~racing and healthful.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
ZTU-w--TAEn- -.I E.N,Vus
gent. They are the nucleus of what
is 10 be the leading commonwealth of
the new Northwest. The school
system of Wyoming is excellent and
abundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several OF the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making OF
needed, permanent improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redeemable in from ten
to twenty years and are consequently
not burdensOme.
With the opening up to settlement
of Northern Wyoming the tide Ofim-
migration viii pour into this Terri
tory, as ii formerly has into Califor-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given TO Z mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing. will give occupation to a
large population and add much TO
the wealth Of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
h~ealthfulness, fertility variety. and
abundance of natural riches, and the
Location on the line of the great
national thoroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part OF the Western country, which
excells Wyoming, the youngest
child Of Uncle Sam.
1t is no place for drones or handles;
but for hard work, honest endeavor,
and capital hacked by brains, Il offers
n wide field and a reasonably sure
reward.

done under many disadvantageOus

a new device to facilitate robber-
les at railway depots has lately been
successfully practiced on the public.
some ingenious person, it appears,
mas MT upon way by which a trunk
can be made to steal another trunk
and portmanteau to annex To its
fellow. In the adventures of Sinbad
the Sailor we are told how the mer-
chants got q. the precious stones in
the valley Of the diamonds. The
merchants threw down pieces of meat,
which fell on and absorbed the dia-
monds; the eagles swooped on the
pieces of meat and Gew with them TO
the upper air; the merchants shot the
eagles with arrows and thus got the
meat, the eagles. and the jewels. So,
we read, the plunderers at the rail-
way depots lay a trunk srtfully con-
trived on a smaller trunk; the latter
elings to the former, aud the owner
OF the larger carries both away
The decoy trunk is said to be fitted
with false bottom, which goes up
" ben il is laid on a smaller trunk,
and With mechanism inside which
does for the innocent trunk what PO-
lVnius recommended To Laertes to do
Tor his friend, and grapples it to bis
heart with hooks Of steel In fact,
the decoy trunk-we do not know
how better to describe it's made to
perform an Office like that Of certain
flowers, which suddenly close at the
pressure of a fly or other insect,
within their cup, and imprisoh it
there. IL would be well if the inge-
nuity Of detectives kept pace with
the progress in ingenious eontrivsnces
TO perperate robberies at the depots,
where they are increasing so fast and
have become such an evil of late. IL
Is certain. however, that the dodge
Of the trunk will not explain all these
rObberies In some cases valuable
articles have been taken out and ar
ticles of the same bulk but less value
put in This trunk, in fact, means
open robbery; bnt there goes on a
good deal Of pilfering which must be
done by less accomplished class Of
offenders.
