Loving and Being Loved,

Perhaps there is no more painful
time in woman's life, says the Home
Journal, than the time Of transition, when
the assiduous lover is passing into the
matter-of.f fact husband, and the wooer is
gradually changing into the master.
Women, who are so much more sensitive
than men, more sentimental, too, and
less content to trust in silence to an un-
demonstrative affection, are for the most
part happy only while they are being
made love to. II is not enough to be
loved; they want to be told twenty times
a day, aud to have the harmonies OF Life
enriched by a crowd of 80 occasional
notes" embroidering the solid substance
by which they live, Men, on the con-
trary, get tired of making love. When
they have wooed and won. they are con.
tent to be quiet, and to take all the rest
for granted. They are not cold, how
ever, because they are secure; and 70
most-and those the best-practical
kindness is better than fattery, security
ranks before excitement and hysteria,
and life passed in serene friendship,
fearing no evil, knowing no break, and
needing no praising, is better than life
passed in perpetual turmoil OF passion,
where thero are scenes and tears, and
doubt and broken hearts, If there are
not endless courtships and fatiguing
demonstrations.

Swindling a Printer.

In Philadelphia stands tall bricl
building, wherein Sherman h Co. carry
on the printing business. An uppel
floor is rented by them tothe Miller locl
company. These locksmiths had pur.
chased two cords of wood, to be deliv.
cred, and shortly after dinner two carts
made their appearance on Cherry street
laden with sticks of split pine. The
carriers were gazing at the building in
search of the sign of the lock company
when persuasive youth, stepping
blandly up, inquired whether the men
iSss. Ssfs Kep}ying la the airmstiye, astts he
told them to wait o minute while he
went into the Office. Into the counting
room of Sherman l. Go. he then went,
and meeting Mr.. Roger Sherman, asked
him whether he would purchase two
loads of wood cheap, that he had them
out on the street, and would sell the
two for 81. eff the wood is good I
will buy it," said Mr.. Sherman, and
then he and the salesman went out to
look at it. 1t pleased Mr.. Sherman, and
he said he would take it. "Where shall
I'put it3" asked the wicked young man.
/" Back in the yard" answered Mr..
Sherman, and then the carters, inno-
cent as lambs, drove into the yard and
dumped their wood, while this sinful
youth gathered in the 81, went his way
and was seen no more. The wood was
being neatly piled, when Mr.. Miller
down stairs, saw the opera
tion, and inquired what on earth his
wood was being put there for. "Your
woodl" said Mr.. Sherman, astonished;
why I just paid 81 for it," "And I
paid $40 for it this morning" grimly an
swered Mr.. Miller. After few min
utes of silent prayer Mr.. Sherman sadly
confessed that he had been swindled,
and is now engaged in search for the
young man who took him in.

The Aurora Borealis.

The cause of the aurora borealis is ex-
planned in novel way by Herr Grone-
man, Of Gronigen, in Holland. The
theory of this astronomer assumes that
there is stream of fine particles of iron
constantly moving around the sun. The
earth passes through portions of this
stream from time to time, and the fric-
ton of the iron dust when it enters our
atmosphere ignites it, causes it to be-
come luminous, and it is then visible as
the aurora. Herr Groneman attributes
the form Of the aurora light to the in
fuence Of the earth's magnetism upon
the PARTICLES of iron, which he compares
to that exerted by magnet upon iron
filings placed on paper over it.

The Modern Boy,

Five-and-twenty years ago boys ap-
petite for enjoyment was not at all seri.
ously blunted at school, nor was there
much fear of his round of holiday
amusements being fatiguing. He sell
dom, if ever, enjoyed the Intoxicating
bliss of beholding his name and achieve
ments set forth in type. Now change
has come over all educational establish
ments. The work of the term, which
has generally superseded the old-fash-
ioned "half, serves as foil for round
Of matches, regattas. reviews, I" the
tricals," concerts, popular lectures,
athletic sports, etc., all duly chronicled
in the local journals, and perhaps even
in metropolitan papers. Examinations
are more frequent, more solemn, and at
tract more public attention.
Thus an energetic boy who is "good
all round" passes from one bout of
competition to another with little inter-
val during his school career. If home,
as is natural, wishes to hold its own ju-
venile favor, it must utilize the multi
piled opportunities of amusement, 80
that the holidays pass in downright dis
sipation. At the universities the per-
petual emulation goes on in an intensi-
fed form, while tho newspaper notoriety
which is bound to enhance the various
passions of young aspirants to distinc-
tion is more pronounced than ever.
Suddenly all the strain of personal riv-
airy is removed, the stimulus of fire.
quent distinction is Withdrawn, and the
hero of an enthusiastic circle of admir-
ers settles down as commonplace per-
son to q monotonous routine of bust
ness. Surely it is not altogether strange
that for time life should flat, stale and
The more keen the stress

Fashion Notes.

| Cuirasses with sleeves contrasting with
most mo- Wofn. but sleeves mare oY two ma.
terials are the newest. For mourning
and negligee wear sleeves are cut long
and very narrow, but for demi toilet
they rarely reach below the elbow; for
these an approved style of finish is to
turn them up with lace, and often q
flower or bow of ribbon is added to the
bend of the arm.
Antique buttons are in great demand,
and when they are not used bows of
ribbon are given the next preference.
Passementerie is worn in profusion.
1t comes in most costly and beautiful
designs, among which are bright silver
braids of peculiar pattern, dead silver
braids, steel braids, checked metal and
black braids; also silver passementerie
studded with soft balls of blue, pink or
red floss silk.
A novelty in aumonieres is one which
is almost square of black velvet with q
silk pocket at the back; the velvet about
the pocket is outlined by o fat chain
work of silver, while two rows Of the
same chain work laid on black velvet
serve to suspend it from the waist. In
the center Of the bag is a monogram;
these can be punched in silver, with
prongs at the back to attach them as re-
quired.
All varieties of white lace are fashion
able excepting Brussels application.
Valenciennes is very popular and is
brought out in exceedingly expensive
patterns. This lace is used on almost
everything-morning dresses, ball
dresses, hats and even shoes. The Louis
XIV. guipure is largely devoted to trim
ming ladies' underclothing. Torchon
lace is reserved for edging petticoats.
Old lace brings fabulous prices. Vene-
tian point in relief, before it reaches the
United States, costs from one hundred to
two hundred francs per yard. Parlor
collars and deep cuffs of this last mon
toned lace are much worn. Many
bodices are made with square collar at
the back on which the Venetian point is
placed. Jabots Of lace mixed in with
ribbons, and China crepe fchus trim
med with lace, are much worn with din
ner dresses. Coarse ivorv net with lace
ends and coarse ecru net are used for
the neck, tied in large bows over the fur
or velvet cloaks and jackets. Valen-
ciennes of An ecru shade is introduced
for trimming these ecru nets and for
other purposes where creme is the shade
desired. This effect, by the way, can be
made with any white lace by dipping it
in coffee.
Black lace is but little seen, excepting
on black.

Met his Death.

A few mornings ago some persons liv-
ing in house on Pennsylvania avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, were reused from their
beds by cries. and found in the garden a
burglar, who, endeavoring to break into
the house by shattering a window pane
with his arm, had cut friehtful cash in
the flesh, severing one of the main ar
teries. His clothes and the ground for
some yards around were soaked with
blood, and the man died before the in
mates of the house could summon a

hours going from our eastern to our

CHEYENNE. WYOMING. SUNDAY MORNING APRIL 80. 1876.

A WORD of explanation is needed as
to the Ohio company. The close of
tie Revolutionary War was marked
by a period of the deepest financial
distress. The country was exhausted.
The officers and soldiers of the army
had been paid off in Government cer-
tifcates bearing interest, which had
deprecated to one-sixth oftheir NOM
inal value; business was stagnant, the
country was flooded with these certi-
fcates, and the Government had
little available income and no credit
ON which it could borrow money. A
scheme was devised by leading officers
of the late army in the eastern part
of Massachusetts to form company
the capital of which should be these
deprecated. certificates, for the pur-
chase of land from the Government,
for &C ual settlement. Such a CON-
pany was formed, and DIR. Cutler,
one of the Directors, was instructed
to negotiate for the purchase of the
land from Congress.
