Miss Rena, the lady star at this theater, has

of my heart,) is rendered by her with great
deal Of spirit and grace; the part of young
Irish girl who meets with eventful experiences
IN her own country and America.
Miss Rena is an exceedingly pleasing &C.

with conspicuous interest. To handsom Q

The CoNCERT.-One Of the most successful
musical entertainments that have ever been
given in our city took place last evening at
the First Presbyterian Church. The ability
of the ladies and gentlemen who kindly
lent their services; the selections made and
their exquisite rendition, all contributed to
the great pleasure of the audience. The
choruses by the Germania Quartette Club
were rendered in that excellent style which
has won SO high reputation for the musical
ability Of the members, and the solos of
Messrs. Bremen and Sseencken were particu-
larly delightful
Decidedly the gem of the evening was the
solo, sang by Miss Little; the fattering encore
demanded by her auditors, the only one of
the evening, was but just compliment to
her admirable vocalization; the lady was in
excellent voice, and rendered her morceau
with exquisite tate and in spendid style. Mrs.
b and Mrs. v both did remarkably
well, and the closing chorus Of the concert,
sung by male and female voices, was grand
to an unusually brilliant musical
festival. We were pleased to see such large
and appreciative audience present

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

| HAVANA, Feb. THE steamer City o.
Mexico, from Vera Cruz, brings the following
CRY OF MEXICO, Feb. 1.-Manifestoes hav.
appeared, signed by Gems Diaz and Guerra
at Guanajuato. Their purpose is to begin 9
revolution with the ultimate object of defeat
ing Lerdo de Tejada and placing Porfiro Dia2
in the presidency. Few persons are disposed
to deny the authenticity of the documents,
and fear Of revolution is general. The Tioc
festoes, and concludes that Lerdo's reelection
means war. Business is afflicted.
The whereabouts of Diaz is unknown.
It is reported that Gen. Marquee, a man Of
notoriety during the empire, will lead revo.
luton of church and party against President
Lerdo. He may possibly unite with Diaz.
Gen. Marquee has left Havana.
Tne Trait de Union. referring to the appli-
cation made by the American Minister some
time ago, declares that Mexico can not allow
American troops to pursue marauders into
Mexican territory. While the governments
are now friendly, the bandits on both sides
are protected by their respective nations on
account of the nationality; neither govern
ment has sufficient force to suppress the scam
dals. The only remedy is for both to organ
ize special corps, independent of the army,
having jurisdiction Of the Rio Grande and its
border, and which should be placed under
direction of mixed commission.
1t is said that Mexico will demand indem,
nifty of the United States for damage caused
by the late raid on the Rio Grande.
Gen. Cortina has been permitted to walk in
the streets, accompanied by prison officials.
President Lardo has given a dinner in
honor to Minister Foster since his return to

citizens for all losses sustain ed in con-
sequence of q failure to afi0rd such
protection. We also demand that all
settlers upon the Shoshone Indian
reservation, In this Territory, shall
be fully compensated for their
improvements, made in good faith
thereon, before being compelled toSS-
cate the same; and to encourage and
promote the permanent occupation and
settlement Of our Territory, we ask
that sufieient appropriations be made
by the general government TO secure
the survey of all public lands within
our limits where occupation and settle
ment is practicable, and especially that
all such lands recently eliminated from
the Shoshone Indian reservation may
be surveyed without delay;
Resolred, That the establishment of
military posts in the Wind River coun-
try and the extension of settlements
taking place in said country demand
that the Government should at once
construct from some point On the Union
Pacific a wagon road through such
country to the Yellowstone National
park.

upon usf We had 10 go on when once
we left Goose Creek, at any cost. The
Indians We're not where We expected to
find them. Would it do to turn back
again, after lying idle so long, with the
old cry that our rations would give out
or something else prevent our going onf
This is an old trouble in Indian fight
ing. The system OF moving without a
Ba~gon-train is the only proper one for
a campaign of this character. A mule
train can go anywhere; there Is no rear
TO protect at the cost of largely reduc-
ing your fighting force. Our train was
not large enough. That will be reme-
died. We were unable to carry enough
provisions to give us time to scout the
country when we cut loose from our
base. We had to make straight for an
other place as soon as we left the last,
because our rations were not sufficient
to allow us to wait on the way and search
the country. Then we were almost
without guides and scouts. / had no
mani could depend upon except Frank
Gruard and he could not do all the work.
The others were well enough, but they
did not know the country, and they
could not be got to 60 out any distance.
If we had had Indians with us from
the Yellowstone here we should
not have had such trouble in crossing
the country. / always try to get Indian
scouts, because scouting is with them
the business of their lives. They learn
all the signs of a trail as a child learns
the alphabet; it becomes an instinct.
With a white mar the knowledge is C
quired in after life. You cannot be
sure that an Indian is telling the truth;
he will lie to you, so will the white man.
But if you can make it to the Indians
interest to tell the truth you get correct
information; a white man will lie in
tentionally, and mislead you uninten-
tionally. Our two Indian bucks there
(rointing to the camp fire where the
captives were gathered, / am trying to
train for scouts. They would be of i'm
mense use. 1 told them it was to their
own interest to come in with us; that
they should be fed, paid and clothed,
while as they were now they had not a
thing in the world. l told them l did
not want to kill them, or l would. have
had them burned out of their hole in
that ravine. Frank has talked to them
too, and they seem inclined to listen to
reason. Some people saysit is wrong to
use the people ofa tribe against itself, but
pshaw! if l can kill n rattlesnake by
making another bite him, 1 shall do

Laramie County Republican Platform.

Resolred, BY the Republican party Of
Laramie county, represented by its dele
gates in Convention assembled, That we
most heartily endorse the sentiments
promulgated in the platform adopted
by the late Territorial Republican con-
vention that met at Rawlins on the 14th
instant;
That we accept the nomination of w.
w. Corlett as a candidate for Delegate
in Congress as the most fit that could
have been made; and we, his neighbors,
who have known him for many years,
most unreservedly recommend him to
the people of this Territory as a man Of
marked ability, Of sterling integrity,
and great honesty;
That we are in favor of economy and
retrenchment in the management of
our county affairs, and that in future
we shall hold all county officers to a
strict accountability in the performance
of their official duties;
That we most earnestly recommend
and urge the Board of County Commits
sioners Of Laramie county to take such
action as may be necessary to locate and
open good wagon roads on the most
feasible and direct lines between Chey-
enne, in Laramie county, and Custer
City and Deadwood, in the Black Hills,
and we do hereby pledge to them our
united support in all judicious meas
ures they may adopt to carry out such
al enterprise.
