The above letter was received yes

viewed a number of our business men
who are connected with the hotel
enterprise, and have been informed
by them that there is no ground for
the above apprehension. Cheyenne
labor will be employed in the con-
struction of the hotel, if our mechan-
les and laborers will work for the
same wages which their fellow work.
men in Denver receive for like labor.

EDITOR CHEYENNE LEADER:
l understand there is going to be
built in this town a $50, 900 hotel by
B. l.. Ford, and that the latter is
going to import all his mechanics and
laborers from Denver. Why is this ?
If true why not give the hard work
ing men of Cheyenne employment on
a building which in part Is paid for by
Cheyenne money? Our mechanics
are willing to work for reasonable
wages, and a great many of them owe
for several months board.

Conductor Merrilcd had inst arrived

burst upon the town. The first thing
Jim knew he was making lightning ex-

assistance, with which he returned.
A young man, who was standing on

Mr.. Wilson was sitting In his grain

on "A new pair of boots. He was thrown
down and desk thrown on top of him.
This probably saved him from greater in

The only building left in the town where
the storm struck was the saloon. A black

A man who saw the hurricane upon him

A BAD style Of arthmctic-Divison

Grecfan BrjgandagG.

Writing of brigandage in Greece, the
Cincinnati Gazette says: "The main
object of brigandage is financial one.
The robbers are in want of money, and
the best way for them to turn an honest
penny is to steal it. When they cap
ture travellers they help themselves to
watches, money, and jewels, and any
thing else that may be of value. But
the end is not yet. They take the cap
tives into the mountains and hold them
for something more, and they are care
full to squeeze out as much as possible.
If the victim is wealthy nobleman or
some other purse proud aristocrat they
think it will be worth about 9l0, 600 to
release him, but if he is some ordinary
mortal with no influential friends in
Athens, q hundred or two hundred
pounds will be sufficient. The foreign
residents and travellers who happen to
be in Greek or italian city when ran
som is demanded for some unhappy
wretch are frequently compelled to raise
money to meet the demand. There is
great deal of complaint at this, and
much of it is we'll founded. why
should T. said gentleman to me in
Naples, be compelled to pay some
thing every little while to get one of my
countrymen out of the hands of the
brigands? 1 wouldn't venture where
the scoundrels could catch me, and /
wouldn't allow any of my friends to do
so if I could prevent it. But along
comes some reckless fellow I never saw,
goes into danger, and is captured. Then
am appealed to on the ground OF hu-
manity and all that sort of thing, and
asked to help release him. It is his own
fault if he is captured. If he had stayed
away, as I do, he would have been safe,
and not compelled to appeal to strang-
ers. If a man meets with an accident l
am willing TO help him, but I think it
hard to be asked to contribute for man
who has deliberately and with his eyes
open walked into trouble"

Statistics of Cigars and Tobacco.

From the advance sheets of The
yearly official report of the tobacco
trade, the following interesting statis-
tics have been gathered. The report is
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1874, and will be completed about
March 1. There was exported from the
United States of native leaf tobacco.
318,097, 804 pounds, amounting in value
to $50, ,399, ,181. During the same time
here was imported into the United
States, and entered for consumption,
9,213, $50 pounds of leaf tobacco, for
use in the manufacture of cigars, and
$500 pounds of stemmed, or prepared
tobacco, amounting together in value to
IS, 323, ,55O.41.
During the same time there was i'm
ported into the United States and en-
tered for consumption, 844, TIA pounds Of
cigars, or, at an average of eleven pounds
to athousand, 76, S86, 900 cigars, amount
ing in value to $3,O30,62 In the
same period there were manufactured
in the United States, of foreign and
domestic tobacco, and tax paid, 1,78O, =
961, 900 cigars.
Allowing thirty pounds of tobacco
for every 1000 cigars manufactured,
there was used SO, ,428, $50 pounds of
foreign and domestic leaf tobacco in the
manufacture of cigars in the United
States. The comparison shows there
were twenty-three domestic cigars made
in the United States to every oGe import
ed, and the tax thereon paid, for every ci-
gar that wasimported and paid duty dur
ing the same time. A close scrutiny re-
veals the astounding fact that the average
number of cigars smoked in the United
States during each twenty four hours is
5,168, 900. The following amounts
of duty and taxes on tobacco and cigars
of all kinds we're received by the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending as above.
Import duty of leaf tobacco for cigars,

music and dancing. She remembered
that in the kitchen her servants were
making ready. a supper fit for a king.
She turned to the mirror; handsome
woman, still young and elegantly
dressed, looked proudly back. An hour
before all this, the woman included,
she would have given to Charles Roke-
wood had he been a beggar. Just a
twinge Of pain went through her heart.
One tear stole down her glowing check.
Then she gave little bitter laugh.
I alone am queen of me |" she
misquoted, and ran out to give the
spoons to Biddy.
"It was hard to find them," she said,
but here they are at last"
And she laughed a little louder than
usual, and not quite naturally.
It was the merriest Christmas party
of them all. said every one of her
guests, and Hetty Armstrong seemed
the merTiest there. But no one saw
her when the door was closed upon
them, and she was alone in her cham
Der. No matter how brief love-dream
has been, the awakening is hard, es-
pecially if it is sudden.
Hetty Armstrong refused Charles
Rckewood the next day, and the people
who guessed it blamed her bitterly.
As for Charles himself he was amazed,
and injured, and deeply grieved, for he
never guessed that his lecture on mar
ried life had a second auditor nor that
Hetty would have said eyes" instead
Of "No," but for that crack in the

The Military InfatuatiOn.

Just now Europe is suffering from
one of her periodical military infatua.
tions. Everybody predicts war. All
the cabinets prognosticate hostilities.
Business is depressed and stocks de-
cline, and an indefnable feeling of in
security and dread fills the air. But
when the inquiry is pressed beyond
these superficial aspects of the situa-
tion it is hard to discover any tangible
and satisfactory reasons for the forebod
ing. The ghost in a single closet does
not account for the universal scare.
The only facts that as yet have come
to the surface are that Germany, know
| ing that France feels her humiliation
and chafes under it and may some day
endeavor to Offset the recollection of
Sedan, has increased her army to a mil
lion and three quarters of men. All
the reserves of the empire are drawn
upon to the utmost TO put the available
military forces into training for posi-
BILE contingency. The experience of the
late struggle as to the value of particu-
lar arms and methods of operation is
being utilized, and the nation has been
increased and made more efficient. But
Germany has no foreign foe, and no
quarrel on hand. Any immediate war
with France is out of the question.
Trouble with Russia she may have pro-
vided she provokes it. Trouble she
may have with Italy and Spain and
France if she attempts to bully the
college of Cardinals into electing Ger
man Pope. And she may have trouble
with England and Russia if she insists
on absorbing Denmark. But there is
no legitimate occasion for war and no
reason for this enormous increase of her
army. The other nations have natu-
rally enough taken alarm, and begun to
increase their armies and navies too,
simply because Germany has increased
hers, and to-day Europe has larger
military establishments than ever be-
fore in time of peace. The posses
sion of the instrument is q temptation
to use it, and such splendidly equipped
and thoroughly drilled armies are
constant provocation. Considering the
poverty of Europe, the oppressiveness
of taxes, the degradation and suffering
of the lower classes in every nation,
these enormous military establishments
are terrible perversions of power and
property. It is only necessary to think
of the industrial force represented by
million and three quarters of men in
the most productive period of life to
see what drain Germany is making
on the resource Of the nation. And yet
every soldier has to be supported by
the productive energies of the yourg
and old, the lame and the infrm, the
women and the children ! We have a
great deal to complain of, but it is mat
ter for congratulation that we have no
great army to support and no military
infatuation.
