Drawing-ROOm Music.

For want of Judgment, however, on
the part of those who listen to music in
drawing-rooms, says the Saturday Re
UielU, considerable excuse may be found
in the kind of music which they are Of
ten condemned to hear. Among the
many rare gifts which seem to be now
adays considered common to the greater
part of the world, that of musical excel
lence is not omitted. The same folly
which induces misguided persons to i'm
agine that they can string together
readable novel without any knowledge of
character or grammar, and act difficult
part with no understanding of stage re-
quirements, has led them to say with
Bottom: "I have reasonable good ear
in music let us have the tongs and
the bones" For the many attempts at
playing by those who have no touch,
and at singing by those who have no
ear, the system of education which
teaches children a certain set of things
without any reference to their individual
capacity for them is in great measure re-
sponsible. But the worst specimens of
musical incompetency which may be
heard in drawing rooms are due to the
want of perception and the vanity of
those who exhibit the specimens. There
are many men and women who might
sing or play agreeably if they would con-
fine themselves to things within their
powers; but vaulting ambition carries
them pell-mell into the dangers of diff
cult music which can only be encounter
ed successfully after years of study and
practice, and makes of the struggles
which, it is to be hoped, are more pain
full to their hearers than themselves, a
terrible warning. When one has been
present at one or two performances of
this kind, one can understand the feel
ings of professor of music who was
gifted with very tender conscience be-
sides a great talent, and, being asked
the reason of an unusual fit of gloom,
replied: "Well, am just thinking
whether 1 ought to go on teaching these
amateurs. They come and learn, but
they understand nothing and they
mostly have voices like little cats"

I have an idea, says "Walks and
Talks on the Farm" that we shall see
higher prices for wheat, and lower
prices for barley for the next few years.
Last year barley paid better than wheat.
Next year it would not be surprising if
wheat paid better than barley. 1 think
the prospects for farmers are quite en-
couraging. The present and prospec-
tive good prices for pork will add largely
to the aggregate profits of farmers, and
do much to enhance our general pros
perity. Many fnanciers are looking to
political action to set the wheels of trade
and commerce in motion. I am looking
to the pork barrel and the corn crop.
The pig is master of the situation. He
is the most potent agent for keeping
down railroad freights and for increas-
ing agricultural profits. We can, by his
aid, pack dozen bushels of corn in a
barrel, and transport it around the
world. What we have to do now is to
look to the quality of our pork, bacon,
hams and lard.

The Republican Defeat.

Inasmuch rs some self ~opinionnted.
aud consequential politicians (?) in
the Republican party are seeking to
let themselves down easily, by ac-
counting for the recent result in the
election of the Democratic candidates
to the Legislature in this county, upon
suggestions that are wholly erroneous,
we will endeavor to point out to them
wherein they are mistaken. To begin
with This county rs well as this Ter
ritory, is Democratic-if we may judge
by past elections. The lack-a-daisical
signs of some Republicans that the Re
publican party in this county and Ter
ritory, has had no good head since the
removal of j.. A. Campbell, as Gov
ernor, and consequently had no heart
or stomach for contesting the late cleo
ton, is an assumption that is absurd
and is contradicted by the facts.
J. A. Campbell was here in $50 as
Governor, and was director and dicta-
tor OF the Republican party. He was
less obnoxious then to the people OF
the Territory than he was afterwards
when he became more generally
known. The Republican party was
united then. He planned the first po-
litical campaign in Wyoming and he
had for aids and ~lieutenants Joseph
NJ. Carey, now judge and writer, E. p.
Johnson, Old Hayford, Snow, DR..
Corey, Winsor, Corlett, Judge Car
ter, and several other shrewG, wary
and dcxterious politicians, who obeyed
his behests without question, and
bowed with oriental submission at his
every suggestion. "A delegate in Con-
gress and n Legislative assembly were
to be elected. The Republican candi-
date at that time, w. w. Corlett, was
a popular, rising young lawyer, who
had a host of admiring friends within
the Democratic party. The election
took place, and when the smoke of
battle cleared away, the Republican
candidate for Congress was defeated
by about fifteen hundred majority,
and not a single candidate for either
house of, the Legislature, upon the
Republican ticket was elected. Not
one! The Legislative assembly was

played its importance and usefulness

the result of his political generalship
was a total rout. And, forsooth! lie is

want and orphaned Republicans pre-
tend to sigh for! Faugh!

Our attention has been called TO
the manifestOes of several professional
gamblers in Cheyenne against the
LEADER. We decline to enter into
any discussion with men whose ire
gular lives are spent in idleness, vice
and crime. Gambling lisa recognized
evil the world over, and should be
prohibited by law in all well regu-
lated and civilized communities.
The professional gambler Is not far
removed from the category that em-
braces burglars. thieves and robbers.
We would as soon think of descend
ing TO discuss morality and honesty
with the fnotpads and pick pockets as
with the professional gamblers.
We maintain that one of the first
duties the next legislative assembly
should discharge, is to repeal the law
licensing gambling in this Territory /;
but we will not discuss the subject
with the gamblers.

The Gheghan Law, passed by the
Democratic legislature. about which
so much is said in Ohio, is not a bad
law. 1t merely provides that the in
mates of reformatory and p%enitential
institutions, supported by the State,
shall not be compelled to attend secta-
rian services against their will; also,
that the doors OF these institutions
shall he open alike to all clergymen
and ministers of the Gospel without
distinction, whose ministrations are
desired by the inmates and also, that
no payment shall be made by the
State to any clergyman or minister of
the Gospel for such ministrations. A
similar law was passed by the Republi-
can legislature of Minnesota two e
ago, and there was no howl about it,
then. 1t merely enforces liberty of
conscience within the walls of these
institutions. as recognized by the law
without. That is all. The law is
good enough. and those who object to
it parade their own unreasonableness.

Hon. Mike Murphy is the only
Democrat elected in this county. He
was a member of the Nebraska legis-
lature in 1853, and was a useful and
industrious legislator.
1t is so seldom that the Denver
NeWs publishes anything reliable in
relation to Cheyenne or Wyoming,
that we copy the following squib with
pleasure :
"St. Louis capitalists, in coniunc-
ton with the directors and stockhOld-
ers of the Denver and Cheyenne
Railroad, have organized a company
with S., 600 900 capital stock, for the
extension OF the line into Eastern
Montana. There is good ground for
believing that the Wyoming legisla-
ture will subsidiZe the road To the
extent OF 50, 900, 900, and ii is not inn
probable that the Montana legislature
will be asked to contribute for the
same purpose"
We almost wish the Ne1Os had not
said anything about that 81, 900 900, as
we feel n little bit abashed to have our
generosity paraded SC publicly in the
newspapers; but now, since it is
"out,n we may as well state that the
amount Of the subsidy" will he sew
eral millions more than the Netcs puts
IL at.
