VALENTINES DAY.-To-morrow
will be St. Valentines Day. 1t will
be made an occasion for sending a
few sweet-scented notes expressing
love indifference, &c; Others will
forward ridiculous prints, and some
will take this opportunity of giving
an enemy dig in the dark. 1t is
an old custom, which for generations
has been handed down from father
to son, from mother to daughter, but
in ages gone by it was an occasion Of
merriment and feast. Unfortunately
the progress of our age has crushed
the life from many of these old fash
ions, leaving us only its objection
able features. But as this is leap
wear, let us hop that some of the
mock engagements of tomorrow
NAV become zeal and bring forth a
rich harvest of happiness and pros
perity.

Virginia City will soon have an
other specie Of amusement, one which
has not RECALLED her inhabitants for
several years. Messrs. Buckley Il
Orndorff propose opening about the
10Th of this month variety show.
Their troupe will consist of about
twenty male and female performers.
We think this new feature will be a
success, rs there has been very little
variety shows in that city of late.

WELL DREssED.-A woman is
called the perfection of Gods handi-
work, but the old saying "that beauty
unadorned is the most adorned"
has in the light of modern fashions
been proved a tallacy. 1t is neces-
sary that she should dress herself to
conform with its arbitrary dictates.
This often costs more money than
people not blessed with wealth can
afford, and the all important ques-
ton is where materials rich in ap-
pearances and substantial in texture
and quality can be purchased at rea-
sonable figures. The Gdipus that
has solved this mystery is Vaenberg
Il Co., at whose fine establishment
No. 90, South c street, dry goods OF
every style and quality can be pur-
chased at the most reasonable rates
and full satisfaction guaranteed in
every particular.

Observation-Disclosures ism

MIsUNDERsTANDING-Godels isn't
always temperance man, but
Godels' wife is not only very neat
woman, but very religious in her
aims, and has nicely printed
notices, or scriptural injunctions
with vined and Powered borders,
framed and hung up around
the chamber. Godels went
home the other night very much
under the influence of the material
which is causing Babcock so much
uneasiness of mind. After many
unfortunate falls and meanderings
to and fro across the street, he
reached his home and entered the
house, which was done as quietly
as the nature of his existing com
plant would permit. He took no
time to disrobe but hurried to bed,
and in getting there the first thing
that met his eyes, hanging directly
over the bed, was the inscription,
Nearer My God to Thee" which
he. in his mud died condition. re-
peated "near-er my-God-els to-
here he made a false step and tum-
bled headlong into bed over his
sleeping spouse. Near My God"
she exclaimed and realizing the con-
dition she snatched poor Godels by
the hair, ierked him off the. bed,
and for few minutes you would
have thought threshing machine
was in full operation. And so it
was, at least Godels showed unmis-
taxable signs of having been
through a protracted siege.

HIS ANCESTOR. - We heard o
teamster make some very serious
reflections, the other day. 1t really
panied us to think thatthe Chris
tain teachings of the 10th century
had so far failed. This particular
mule was small and had very large
ears, he was also very obstinate, and
refusing to pull his portion of the
load the teamster walked around,
took hold of his bride and
jerking him said "You great
awkward, lazy, obstinate, elongated
cared, hoarse-voiced, coarse-haired
brute. you needn't put on any airs,
your father was nothing but an in
fernal jackass." The rest of the
speech Was lost in the loud, sharp
cracks of the blacksnake.

may be entertained as to their ihten
tions.

An Important Matter.

BY the present route from Cheyenne
to Deadwood, the distance is not less
than 1926 miles. OF this distance, 70
miles is through a rough and mountain
Gus region, and the road is in bad con-
dition, although owned by a company
who charge toll. In the winter this
part of the road will be impossible, or
nearly SO. Frank Whitney and other
reliable men who have travelled the
road considerable, state that it can be
shortened not less than IS miles at
small expense. This would give us a
route which can be travelled the year
round, and the shortening of distance
would also add to the advantage of the
route, making it pass through a region
better supplied with water and wood
than the present one.
Mr.. Whitney, when at Fort Laramie,
explained the matter to Mr.. j. s. Col
Inns, who at once offered to give three
hundred dollars toward a fund for
building the new road. Since coming
here Mr.. Whitney has interviewed our
leading business men, and obtained
from them the assurance that the
money required for the work shah b
forthcoming on twenty-four hours no
tice. We suggest that a meeting be
called and a committee appointed to
| obtain subscriptions. We also suggest
that Jim Sanders be employed for the
work, as he is thoroughly acquainted
with every route leading into the Hills,
and knows how to build roads. Then
let the road be made a free one, and
with a route well supplied with wood,
water and grass, and only 240 miles
long, Cheyenne can defy any would-be
rivals who might strive to wrest from
her the trade of Deadwood and the
Hills.

a PEACE PROPOSITION.
Under Which the Cheyennes Cloak Their
Desire 10 Join Sitting Bull
New Agents.

The Commissioner Of Indian affairs,
Z. r. Smith, received 3 dispatch sunday
evening from the Indian agent at the
Cheyenne ageney, announcing that the
Indians at that place request the United
States government TO suspend hostile
| operations against Sitting Bull and the
Sioux with him for eight weeks, in
order that they, the Cheyennes, may
visit the hostile Indians and arrange
for peace. Gen. Sherman is not in
Washington and therefore has not seen
this dispatch, but it is not at all prob
able that the request will be granted.
The report published a week ago that
the Indians at Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail agencies had been turned over to
the military authorities for management
is literally true. The Commissioner of
Indian affairs found it desirable TO re-
move the agents at these points on
account of their nnfitness to perform
the duties devolving upon them, and as
it was thought wise not to delay these
removals until agents could be selected,
the War Department was requested to
detail a military officer at each to re-
ceive and take temporary charge of the
property of the United States and per-
form the duties Of Indian agents until
the vacancies can be filled.
Meanwhile the Protestant Episcopal
church has been requested to select
new agents, and as soon as they have
done SO and the nominations are APP
proved by the President, the army
officers will be relieved.
All the agents on the Sioux reserva-
ton have been directed to assist the
military authorities in arresting Sioux
warriors who participated in the fight
with Gen. Custer on the Little Big
Horn river, as they return to the agen-
cies. These men are to be placed in the
hands of the military as prisoners of
war.
Bishop Whipple was in Washing
ton a short time ago, and expressed the
belief that the Sioux could now easily
be induced to remove to the Indian
Territory, but the administration is
unable to transfer the Indians to the
Indian Territory without an %appropria-
ton by Congress to pay the expense of
the removal.
