A Batch of Anecdotes.

| AN aa UNDERSTANDING. - Yesterday
 morning after an old lady had taken
 seat in the train going west young
 man came along and inquired if he coult
 have part of the seat. ."I guess you
 can, "she replied, "but you want to un
 derstand me first. No chewing tobacco
 no swearing, and no soft soaping around
 SOS to get chance to pick my pocket. ?
 After thinking the matter over he took
 a seat on the woodbox. @....~I l A BAD SYSTEM. -" No, sir-no. sir. '

The largest audience that ever AZ
sembled at the Opera House in this
city, listened last evening TO the CON-
crrt given by the Co!ored Jubilee
Singers. At an early hour the hall
was filled from ''pit TO dome" by the
pleasure seekers. aud every available
space was occupied before the enter
taiument began, many being obliged
10 return home being unable to pro-
cure seats.
The concert was a novel one for our
people, consisting almost entirely VI
southern plantation melodies and sa-
cred songs, all rendered most exqui-
sitely by these wonderful children Of
song. The Henderson family, e-pec
tally, attracted much attention
Misses Lulu and Annie and Johnny
Henderson seemed to be the fbvorites
OF the audience. The Basso, Mr..
Hunley, has a glorious voice, reaching
with apparent ease g tiat. Altogether
the concert was one of the best ever
given in Cheyenne and the large au-
dience evidently appreciated the fact,
judging frum the applause aud en-
cores. We II give no higher cnIn-
pliment to the company and the man
agement, than by repeating a canver-
satiOn we overheard between two i'm
pecunious lovers of music in the gall
Experimentation to hi1comrade:"I
am not sorry | spent Il dollar to come
here tonight; l have another dollar
left and | shall come again ''to-mor-
row."
Those who were cleft" last evening
and all others who want to enjoy II
first class entertainment tonight,
will do we'll to secure seats early at
Hollis news-roum.

Adjournment Of the Legislature.

To-day the Legislature will adjourn

OF the important bills are disposed of;
and although there has has necessarily
been considerable time wasted still the
Fourth Legislative Assembly is to be
congratulated on the faithful and i'm

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Wilson
Ennis, foreman for Ranger Jones, a
ranchmau on Running Cedar Creek,
about thirty miles south of Antelope,
and Mr.. b. f. Davidson, lately in the
employ of Ranger Jones, arrived ut
Cheyenne and reported the following /:
About the 2Sth of last month three
Indians stole forty-seven horses from
Ranger Jones' ranch. The horses
were all fine stock, and among them
were some valuable Kentucky mares,
and a stallion valued at 81, $40. I'M
mediately after missing the horses,
they pursued the indians, easily, fol-
lowing their trail northward to Ante
lope. Here they telegraphed the
Commander of the Post at Sidney, and
also to Fort Laramie.
Since arriving here they have re-
ceived information from a gentleman
just from Red Cloud, hat a party of
redskins, with O band of horses, were
seen a day or two since crossing White
River. Mr.. Ennis feels confident that
this is the party, with Jones' horseI,
and having engaged Mr.. Whitehead
to attend to his business, he will start
for Red Cloud Immediately.
