Batcholder was widower, about fifty
years old, and naturally not inclined to

the siege commenced. Her heart prov

came the tug of war; and before he could
make choice between the two another

THE LITTLE FLOWER.

One day two young girls went to town.
They were both daughters of gardener.
Each of them carried basketful Of fruit
or flowers. As they went along, one Of
them became dissatisfied at the weight OF
her basket; the other went easily, sing
ing all the time.
| cannot understand why you sing, y
said the first to her sister; You are not
any stronger than am, and your basket
is just as heavy as mine"
The reason is, said the other, smil.
ing, that have put little flower in
my basket, which keeps me from feeling
its weight. Do you likewise"
That must be very costly flower"
said her sister, but | should like to own
1t very much; please tell me its name. y

THK

The prospect for a heavy lmmigra-
ton TO this section of Wyoming the
coming Spring was never more favor
able than IL is now. In fact, we have mo
ticed moro strangers looking over our
town and county this Winter, with a
view to locating h~creabouts, than ever
before. Cheyenne and Laramie
County have a reputation abroad
which is second to none in the West.
The favorable location Of our town,
the superior hca..hfulncss Of our eli
mate, the excellent market afforded
here for all kinds of products, together
with the certainty that more railroads
will be built soon in a southern and
northern direction, operate unmista-
bly, to attract the serious attention Of
all who are seeking new homes and
an opportunity to engage in q paying
business.
Another fact which points unerring-
ly to Cheyenne rs n place which IS
bound TO make rapid strides onward
IN the march to future greatness, Is
that it lies directly in the path which
Is conceded to be the only feasible and
direct u to the rich mining regions
in Northern Wyoming, to the Big
Horn country, the Powder River and
the Black Hills. The vast tide of i'm
migration which is destined to pour
into the gold fields of Northern Wyo-
ming at no distant day, will coRceB-
trate in this town to complete outfit
ting, preparatory to q final start for
the EldoradO. Az these facts have
Ueen and are daily being canvasscd 10y
those who have in contemplation a
future residence in Wyoming, and we
feel warranted in making the predic-
ton, therefore, that next Spring will
inaugurate II tide OF immigration TO
this city and county such as has never
before been witnessed. New business
houses will be erected here, new resi-
dences constructed, and general thrift
and prosperity will prevail that will
~astonish some Of our slow coaches and
chronic grumblers. Some may think
the picture il overdrawn, that our pre-
dictions are visionary and ephcmeral.
Granted; yet we firmly believe that
the dim shadow of coming events is
already perceptible in the not distant
future.

The Episcopal Church In Cheyenne


' The recent meeting of the Convoca-
ton of the Episcopal Church, and the
visit to our city of the Right Rev. DR..
Spalding, Bishop of Colorado and
Wyoming, furnishes an occasion for
calling to the minds of our people
some of the facts connected with the
work of the church in this place.
Even before the organization of this
Territory, Bishop Garrison, Of Ne
braska and Dakota, turned his atten-
ton to the Magic City of the Plains,
and the result of his efforts was the
sending of the Rev. J. w. Cook to
Cheyenne. Probably, no man has
more completely won the esteem of
our citizens than this faithful and in
trepid minister of Christ. His enter
prise was the first attempt to organize
a religious congregation and build a
house of worship, and the substantial
success of his efforts is attested not
only by q church and rectory free
from all debt, but by the recollections
of those who were here Mt the time

Gen. John NJ. Th=yor. Governor OF
WyOminS

AS predicted in yesterdays issue OF
the LEADER, Ex-senator Thaycr, OF
Nebraska, has bccn appointed by the
President, Governor of this territory.
The new Governor is we'll known to
the people of Wyoming, for he has for
many years been identified with the
interests of the far west, and especially
OF this territory.
His appointment will be well re-
ceived ~ all classes of u people; he
is a gentleman of ripe experience in
public life, who has earned a national
reputation for ability, political saga
city and craftsmanship of the highest
order. AS Senator from Nebraska,
Gen. Thayer exercised, in the legisla-
tive halls of the nation, a controlling
influence on all questions relating to
the interests and resources of the
West, including the territories; rs
Governor of Wyoming he will be able
to utilize, for the advantage of our
people, his experience as a legislator,
his extensive acquaintance with the
leading men Of the nation and his
personal popularity with the authori-
ties at Washington.
In bestowing this Office upon Gen.
Thayer, the President has not added
to the luster of that gentleman's
career, but he has given to the people
of Wyoming a worthy. talented and
public spirited chief magistrate, who
will do whatever lies in his power to
develop and make known to the world
the many dormant sources of Wyo-
ming Territory.
Governor Thayer was born in Bel
lingham, Mass, January oath, 1920;
he graduated at Brown University !;
studied law and went to Nebraska, in
1851. He soon after was elected a
Major-General by the Legislature, in
which capacity he organized and COM
manded two, expeditions against hos
tile Indians. He was elected a mem
Der of the Constitutional Convention
of Nebraska: served two terms in the
upper house of the territorial legisla-
ture entered the Union Army as
Colonel of the LIST Nebraska Yolun-
tees in 1861, and was appointed
BrigadierIGenera and brevetted Major
General :" for distinguished services y
before the close of the wan. In 1867
he was chosen Il sithe Senate of the
United States, where he served the
people Of Nebraska successfully and
wthTgreat ability to the end OF his
term in 1871.

The Civil Rights Bill.

Yesterdays mail brought us a copy
of the Civil Rights bill, ms finally
adopted and passed by the House of
Representatives. After n careful per-
usal of the bill we have come to the
conclusion that it is not such n formi-
dable bill after all. We had been told
by Democratic journal 5 that the bill
was "a legacy of Massachusetts hate
against the white people Of the South"
and we had almost been convinced
that the bill provided for or compelled
the intermarriage between the chill
dren of Democrats and 'niggers :" in
short, that it contemplated n reversal
of the laws of nature. This is not so,
by any means; we assure our Demo
cratic friends that the bill does not
deprive any white man of any rights
or privileges he.has heretofore enjoyed.
1t takes nothing from the white peo-
pie of the south, north, east or west.
The civil rights bill simply proposes
hat in all public matters the black or
colored citizens of the republic shall
stand on an equality with the white
citizens. In short, the bill g:

The grand hotel project, which
has hung fire for n month or two past,
may now be considered an accom-
plished fact. We learn from reliable
authority hat Mr.. Ford, on Tuesday
last, signed the necessary bonds to
construed a $4,000 hotel on tho lot
at the corner of Sixteenth and Hill
streets, opposite the Western Union
Telegraph Office. Now that the loca-
ton is decided upon all our people will
he glad to know hat the hotel WiH be
built, although there may be some who
will lie disappointed that another local
ity has not becn chosen. The main
point hat interests all our citizens and
property owners is to get a hotel
somewhere in town, which will be n
credit to the place and attract visitors
from abroad. The exact locality is a
secondary consideration, and of no
special importance to the people OF
Cheyenne. -

concerning the large attendance upon
his services and the interest mani
tested in him and his labors.
The parish, almost immediately
after its Organization, came under the
jurisdiction Of one of those grand and
heroic men, whose names are preserved
as Synonyms Of all that Is highest
in human nature. Bishop Randall
was hOnored and loved and admired,
wherever he was known. The re-
ports Of his work which reached
the far east caused him to lie
who had never seen him, with
the Apostles themselves, while
his death, in the very heat of the
battle, from exposure and fatigue,
which his soul did not regard for a
moment, but his physical frame could
no longer endure, was IN their view as
true a martyrdOm as any that the his
tory of the church records. Yet, his
fame abroad was nothing to the esti-
nation in which he was held by the
people Of his charge. Our city may
well be proud to have shared his min
istrations, and may well cherish that
church which has brought promi-
nently before this community two
such noble types of Christian manhood
as Randall and Cook.
Those who saw and heard DR.. SpaId-
ing here, certainly judged hat the
mantle Of The former Bishop has fallen
upon no unworthy successor. As the
present Bishop has been relieved OF
the charge of New Mexico, he can
give a large share of attention to this
Territory, and expects to visit our city
again during the month of May.
