Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

The San Francisco Ala tells this
story: GA Cheyenne young lady had
expressed a desire to vote. Her young
man was more than willing she should
be gratifed, and sent for a buggy to
take her to the polls. While on their
way he asked to see her ticket. It was
shown MIN. While she was looking in
another direction he put her ticket,
which was for Corlett, in his pocket. and
gave her one in its place for Steele.
The saddest part is yet to be told. She
never knew how she had voted for years
afterward. He was: in the habit of
taking candy to her every Friday even
ing. Last Friday he failed. But when
he told her she could not believe him.
So she determined to search his peck
cts. Horrors The first thing she dis
covered was her ticket written in her
own hand. When the young man
awoke to a proper realization of his
situation be was lying doubled up on
the floor, while tufts of his auburn
locks were scattered in rich confusion
about the room. AS he opened his
eyes a vase filled with water and an
ornam entail sea shell came crashing into
his face, followed by invectives Of any,
thing but a loving nature from her
whom he had SO cruelty deceived. He
scrambled to his feet, made hasty
exit through window, and has since
studiously avoided the house. He Sc
cured vote for his favOrite candidate
but lost his girl" i-4t

, Afraid of the Gun.

The accounts ofthe skirmish between
Gen. Miles and the Indians which have
appeared in a Bismarck paper show
that q Rodman gun rendered effective
service. When the troops appeared
near the Indian village flag of truce
was unfurled, and Gen. Miles was in
formed that Sitting Bull wanted to
have big talk About three hundred
mounted warriors approached in per-
feet military order, and when the coun-
Gil had been held they withdrew with
the precision of veteran cavalrymen.
When the battle was opened the In
dams fought well, but when the gun
was brought into range they were ter
ribly frightened, and stampede fol-
lowed. The Yellowstone campaign
proved that mounted Indian is more
than q match for white cavalryman.
The horsemanship of Sitting Bulls
warriors is perfect; they strip them
selves naked when the battle opens,
and fight like devils incarnate. Cavalry
men are INDISPENSABLE for scouting but
infantry supported by light artillery
are more effective in campaign
against the Sioux.

EMBL EMS OF LIFE.
BY BAYABD.

BY BAYABD.
Hope and sun are like as one;
Both largest when they rise;
They shrink alike from morn till noon,
As life grows old and wise 4f
With what unbounded hope the boy
Begins his world-career!
How wondrous large and ardent red
DO rising suns appear!
But as the suns grows less and less,
And paler as they climb
The vacant sky, 30 we confess
The cold deceit of time;
That boyhood's hopes but shrink and fade
AS boyhood drifts away,
And one by one to rest are laid
The failures of the day.
And yet the sun at noon that turns
Its downward road will grow and grow.
Till in the West it rolls and burns
AS large as half the day ago.
So as we near that other sphere,
The early hope revives
That all We thought was ours here
May be, in other lives.

INTIMIDATION AND VIOLENCE ALONE

could have produced this is almost irresistible
and that such influences we're employed and
were supplemented by murder, when it was
thought necessary is established by the proofs
already referred to.
1t but confirms this conclusion to refer tc
the vote cast In these five parishes in 1874
when no special motives existed for the use OF
cruel means to influence the election. The
lsepubhcan majority there WIS then 1919. A
result go suggestive of violence and intimida-
ton was obtained by means the most terrible

armed men, formed as recommended by the
Democratic Committee, rode through the
country at night, marking their course by
whipping, shooting. wounding, manning. mutt
latlon and murder Of women and children and
defenceless men, whose houses where forclbly
entered whilst they slept, and as the inmates
fled through fear, the pistol and the rifle, the
knife and the rope we're employed to do their
horrld work. Crimes like these testified to by
scores OF witnesses, were the means employed
in Louisiana to elect q President OF the United
States by force: Of a large mass Of testimony
upon which that adjudication had been
reached, Members of the Board. acting under
oath, were bound by law, if convinced by tes-
tlmony that riot, tuulult, acts of violence or
disturbance did not materially interfere with
the purity and freedom of the election at any
poll or voting place, or did materially change
the result of the election Jhereat to reject the
votes thus cast and exclude them from their
final return. OF the effect of such testimony
the Board was the sole and final judge, and il
in reaching conclusion it exercised good
faith and was guided by an honest desire to do
justice, 1t determination should be respected

sion might have been reached by other
tribunals or persons. To guard the purity of

perform his duty, should be the desired of all
men and the aim OF every Republican govern

by each violent and terrible means as were
resorted to in many parishes of Louisiana,
complaints should not be made if the votes
thus obtained are denounced by Judicial
tribunals and all honest men as illegal and
void. (SigneO we" 4 1

The Bad Practice of SneeZing.

The Bad Practice of Sneezing.
The following is from the Londor
Globe:
For some time past the Partisan press
has been discussing with great gusto
various remedies suggested for the vice
of snoring. Having got tired of this
subject, without arriving at any usefu
conclusion, they will perhaps be inclin
ed now to bestow some of their philoso-
phic attention on the bad practice of
sneezing. Every excuse for doing SO is
afforded them by q case which is just
reported from the Faubourg St. Henore.
A young lady inhabiting that aristo-
cratic quarter was suddenly seized, q
few days ago, with violent and pro-
longed fit of sneezing. Her relations,
her nurse, and faally every one in the
house began to be alarmed. The
orthodox "God bless you" had been
shouted and reiterated in her ears, but
the demon Of sneezing refused to be
exercised, and the doctors had to be
called in. By their advice chloroform
was administered, and the sufferer
thus relieved for a time from an attack
which had completely exhausted
her strength. But no sooner had the ef-
feet of the dose gone off than the
fits again seized ner with no less presis-
tence than before. The case was SER
ious, and the medical men began to re-
member with dismay the preceden4
mentioned in their books, where ma
tive of Edinburgh Was attacked in the
same way and ended by ctually chok.
ing herself and dying Of suffocation.
Fortunately, in this case there was no
such tragic end to the story. A young
doctor VINO happened to be called in,
after the malady had already injured
for twenty-seven hours was clever or
lucky enough to effect cure by "hy-
drotherapic' treatment. The account
of the case by the Paris paper does not
afford any clue to the cause of so
strange seizure; but it may serve as
all awful warning to those reckless per-
sons who, like Lord Dundreary, pro-
TESS to delight in a good sneeze. There
IS, indeed, some reason for alarm
just now. Sneezing, according to the
scientific account of it, is caused by
irritation of the inner membrane of the
nose. And since snuff taking has been
30 completely banished from fashion
able society, there is reason to fear that
the membrane in question must be a
good deal more sensitive and perhaps
more irritable, than it was a century

a new university building up, q Pal is
de Justice, q Parliament house, a royal
museum and one or two others. They
are to be of solid stone, and not Of the
stucco which in Germany is so com
mon. The Ring strasse is the fashion
able afternoon promenade, and the
people are remarkably nice-looking.
The chief types are the Jewish swell, D
the officers, and the mothers with mar.
riageable daughters. There are very
few of the less respectable ladies of the
city to be seen On the Ring straase
They swarm in the streets around the
Graben, however in large numbers
Whether the manageable daughters
are pretty or not is a subject which has
been much discussed. The girl who is
above the average here in the matter
of good looks has generally
pretty hair, pretty eyes, good
complexion, and q good figure,
but it is hard to find a pretty mouth or
a girl who dresses in good taste. These
family parties of three are very ANUS
ing. The savage old mamma walks III

vigilance, think the girls are apt to
cast side chances when a brilliant uni
form passes by. The men affect the

smokes, whether he is with lady or
not. The fashionable tweed" is what is
called here "Virginia'-a kind of
long, thin cigar, with straw running
through the middle. They draw very
badly and last a long time. The high
est price paid for them is twenty -four
krouzers, Or about ten cents; they are
to be had for two cents, however. A
man who can smoke pipe all day and
feel no bad effects will ordinarily sue
cumb under a "Virginia." The smell
alone is bad. The initiated Vienna
smoker delights in it, as he can smoke
it for an hour without stopping. The
tobacco trade is under government
monopoly, and cigars and cigarettes
are bad except where obtained through
special agencief. I find the tobacco
shops of use chiefly as postage stamp
depOts.

A New York Romance.

New York is full of romances, but
we doubt if many can surpass that of
a couple just married in that city. The
bride is a wealthy Texan widow, about
ffty-two years old, and the groom an
employe in the Communipaw stock
yards, is only twenty-five. The wed.
ding is said to have been the immedi-
ate result of the lady's use of her leap
year privilege, and that after less than
twenty-four hours acquaintance. The
lady owns extensive cattle ranches, bust
ness Id connection with which led her
to visit to the Communipaw yards.
While there she was attacked by an In
furiated steer, which rushed at her, and
was only prevented from fatally injur-
ing her by the presence of mind of Gus
tave Remisch, who seized the brute by
the horns and enabled the lady to es-
cape. On the following day he receiv-
ed note requesting him to call on her
at the Metropolitan Hotel, where she
proposed to him and was accepted.
They were married the same night at
the residence Of the groom's sister, and
immediately started southwark. The
groom has been extremely poor, while
the bride is understood to possess I'M
mense wealth. She was in early life a
New England schOOl-mistress.

Mud Islands.

There is nothing more curious on our
coast than the mud islands at the
mouth of the Mississippi. They were
lifted from the bottom of the sea; but
how, is mystery. Some have risen or
subsidized in a single day, and the gas
coming from them, few feet below
the surface, keeps up q continual tur-
MOL Of the water above; while from all
of them the gases which raised them
escape through small but apparently
bottomless craters. In some of these
springs the water that shoots up is sew
eral degrees cooler than it is In the sur
rounding sea; and the crater of one of
them, on Osgood's Island, has a min
eral favorsand Is sold in New Orleans
drug stores BIS 8 specific for rheuma-
tlsm. These islands never rise in chan
nels OF navigation, but always on their
edges. Some have living vegetation,
but the greater number are bare. On
one of these near the Southeast Pass, q
brick fort constructed by the Spaniards,
is slowly sinking into the sea. On Cor
don's Island still grows grove of fig
trees century old, and near them a
graveyard, in which are headstones
bearing Spanish names and dates one
and two centuries ago. AS the delta
strips work seward, they keep en- equal
distance in advance; and thus they rise,
where formerly was deep water, and
often bring up fragments of wrecks lost
more than 1OOyears ago.
