The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1875-04-27

The Chicago Tribune has discovered
some points of similarity between
grasshoppers and g~rccnbacks, and
thinks each dcvours the resources Of
the country it visits, and it says:
"Let the grasshopper he used as
greenbacks.' 4 currency fulfIls its
mission best wheni it c~ircnIatcs fastest.
1t is needless to call attention to the
great natural powers Of circulation
possessed by the grasshoppcr. The
lively animal skips across and all
over n state with no trouble at all.
He win clear the distance IN a day or
two, and eat up everything on the
way.
The new money will be cheap rs
dirt and just about as plenty. \
penniless person has only to catch n
feminine grasshuppur, squeeze n nit
lion eggs, out of hor,put them in the
sur for a few hours, aud then pick up
a million legal tenders. @
1t is thus evident that a legal ten
der Gu rrency composed OF grasShop-
pers would be based on faith and re-
sources, would be non-cNportabIe,
would circulate with the utmost
raridity, and would be both cheap
and abundant. An cXhaustless sup
ply Of raw material is now being
Matched out on the Northwestern
prairies, and the opportunity should
not be lost. If we are TO have a wild
cat circulating medium, it might as
well be composed of wild grasshop-
pers as anything else"

Aquatics.

Our various amateur boat clubs are all
hard at work. A contemporary has dubbed
the boatmen knights of the Oar and in
keeping with that epithet it may be said
that they have donned their armor; in
reality, however, the oarsmen have doffed
supsrhuous integuments and gone to work
with a vim.
The Orleans Club las. evening had their
race boat Samuel Boyd conveyed to the New
canal and moored at Major Hoyt's place.
The winners of the last regatta ON the Mis-
sissippi are striving hard that their laurels
may be freshened in the waters of the Pont-
chartrain. They undoubtedly acknowledge
tho ability of their competitors, but they
do not fea, even the doughty oarsmen Of
the Palmetto State.
The Howard Club will also soon ente,
into practice on the lake. This club makes
but little pretension. 1t is, however, very
strong club, and ito leading crew is formed
of the best material. They possess in su.
perior measure, two qualities necessary to
command success. namely: Power and en-.
durance. Should practice yield them skill
and unison Of movement, it will be a risky
assertion to say that the race will not be
THERE.
The Hops Club ie regarded fayorably BY
many who think the quick stroke most
available in the buoyant water of the lake.
OF the st. John Club, all lovers of
aquatic sports speak in terms of praise.
While not sauguine as to triumph for them
on the nineteenth, in the gig race. the ad-
mire-s of the enterprise and !iberality give
them their Leartiest wishes.

SiaughterhOuse Inspector,

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,.
/ would like to call attention through
your columns to the fact that this "otfi.
ciaf' refuses to inspect cattle that are
killed in the parish of Orleans !across the
river. outside the legal Iimits|.
The meat of cattle slaughtered across the
river is much better in many respects. The
slaughterhouse is large and airy, and the
meat can be delivered at the markets with.
out being exposed to July sun for several
hours, as is the case with that slaughtered
in the parish Of st. Bernard, four miles be.
low the city. AS there are so many ad-
vantages in favor of the cattle killed across
the river, I think it is the duty of the in.
spector to inspect the cattle killed there.
His office was created for the benefit of the
public health, and if this object is import
ant to him, he should certainly inspect the
cattle across the river.
1t is well-known that the meat from st.
Bernard parish is brought to the city in
carts in the heat of the day, distance of
four or five miles. Now, it is a question
whether this of itself is not sufficient to dis
ease the meat that our people are consum.
ing. This is not the case with meat from
Orleans parish lacross the river;D it is
placed in a large terryboat and landed at
the French Market. without being exposed
to the hot sun.
hope, Mr.. Editor, in the interest of the
public health, that you will call attention
to this matter. MEAT EATER.

Tho Sublimity Of Cheek.

During the late Franco Prussiau war a
French gentleman had upon his staff q
certain volunteer civilian, who had several |
times shown signs of unwillingness to ex.
pose his person. One morning the general
said to him. "Get on horseback, sir; ride
out beyond our lines till you see the Prus-
slams: draw fire if you can; and then,
when you have made out where their out.
posts exactly are, come back and report to
me-" The gentleman trotted for two hun.
dred yards, pulled up, and thought he
would go no further. Finally, after a quar-.
ter of an hour Of fear, he decided to ride
home again. As he reached the cottage
where the general was waiting for him the
latter looked out, saw him, and exclaimed:
What! not gone yet! Start Immediately,
sir" Thereupon the individual in uues-
ton glanced with terror at the general.
and, after a few seconds of hesitation,
turned his horse sharp round, and rode of
at full gallop toward the rear. The gen
eral snatched out his revolver, fired at him,
and put ball through his throat. He was
carried to an ambulance, remained there
for six months, until, in the excitement of
the commune, he was quite forgotten. He
then came out with DOCTORS certificate,
obtained with that document the influence
OF people who knew nothing of the fact.
and finally, on the ground that he had
been wounded before the enemy, obtained
the cross.

opinions OF the lawyers are given with the

their cost, not including telegra ph and COM
position bills. One "distinguished jurist'
l hadn't read anything Of the trial, one only
| the evidence, another only the arguments,
| another great portion Of both, some a
little of one and none of the other, and two
| or three carefully studied the case.' All
have opinions. Such phrases as not the
slightest doubt, not much doubt, no moral
doubt, no one else could have any doubt,
no doubt Of what the verdict would be, it
ia undoubtedly, not tho shadow Of doubt,

In one State an admiralty lawyer wishes to

indorse Tiiton, q second lawyer has no opin.
ION: a third thinks all parties innocent,
and a fourth both guilty. 1t would be IN
teresting TO know on what question two
lawyers Of that State could agree.
Of course these opinions are of no value
except as those of l63 persons, who being
somewhat, more interested than the ordi.
nary reader, generally afford warning to
avoid such literature. If any lawyer has
read the whole case as carefully as he would
scan brief, with fee in it, his opinion is
worth something: otherwise not more than
one who has read nothing. If any clergy
man can, with full knowledge of every
statement detailed in the trial, put himself
in Beecher's place two years ago and fore
tell. as he did in his own mind, the newt
able consequences of an exposure, his
opinion will be decisive-to every one he
convinces that he has arrived at his solu-
ton by that process.
If the Herald desires to secure verdict
more nearly unanimous, this is the question
to ask. Put it to every clergyman, suppose
you were two years ago in Beecher's . place,
