The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-08-12

1t is not a very remarkable circum
stance that no one Of the gentlemen
elevated to the Presidency from the
north and east ever succeeded in obtain
ing a reelection. Nor did the many
candidates for that high Office from the
State of New York ever succeed in
reaching the Presidency, with but n
exception; that of Martin Van Buren,,
and he was indebted to President Jack
son for his success. Burr, of New York
was defeated by Jefferson; Clinton of
New York was defeated by Madison;
William H. Seward of New York was
defeated by Abraham Lincoln, and Sey-
mour and Greeley. both Of New York,
weredefeated by President Grant. There
is no use in Disgusting the fact that
the people of the south and
west have no confidence In the New
York Democracy. Burr was a Demo-
cratic Republican; Clinton belonged to
the same school; Seymour and Van
Buren, belonged to the Democratic party
of the present day and poor old Greeley
had lost the support of both parties.
Now the southern politicians may hur-
rah for Tilden as much as they please,
but the people do not desire to vote for
him-they prefer a western man. They
nave no III new loLh Poiiti-
clans, and never had. Go back to the
days when Littleton Tazwell, OF Vir-
ginia, and Martin Van Buren,, of New
York, occupied seats in the Senate of
the United States, and you will find in
a discussion on the tariff that Nj. Taz-
well told Mr.. Van Buren, that he had
been deceived by the New York Sena-
tor, and that he and his State had no
confidence in his pledges or the political
principles Of his party, and yet Mr..
Tazwell wa always a Democrat and
opposed both John @. Adams and Hen
ry Clay for the Presidency. Washington

Burst the Thermometer.

The Providence Journal has assumed
the responsibility of the following:
Thermometers play strange freaks
in the heated terms. A young lady of
this city hung of these useful indi-
Gators Of the temperature wherethe direct
SUMS rays fell upon it. The mercury
quickly reached 1852, and there it stop
ped, for it could go no further, the up
per extremity of the tube was reached.
She brought it within doors, and after
a while again examined the record; it
remained at 116o, and this temperature
it persistently retained. Determined
not to be bafled in her investigation,
she established the thermometer in the
refrigerator. After leaving it there
long enough to bring it near the freez-
ing point, she once more examined the
graduated scale. Wonderful to relate
the glass still recorded the sitting tenn
perature of 116p. A further examina-
ton solved the mystery. The expansion
of the mercury, restrained by the limits
of the tube, had burst the bulb. There
fore, if the heat continues, thermome'
tiers with longer tubes must be used
especially for rash experiments in the
sunshine. -

Valuable Use Of Dynamite.

They are using dynamite cartridges
in Scotland to rid fields of stumps Of
trees and boulders too hard to break
and too heavy to move. The operation
in both cases is saidto be very simple
and very effective. The eartn is clear
ed around the stump, a hole pierced in
the roots, and a dynamite cartridge
inserted, to which a fuse is attached of
sufficient length to allow the operator
of the cartridge skaters the stump to
fragments. Forty stumps, it is assert
ed, can thus be removed in an hour.
With boulders the operation is more
simple. The cartridge, with its fuse,
is placed on the top of the stone, which
is then covered with sand. The explo-
sion breaks the stone into pieces small
enough to be handled, and consequent
ly easily carted off the field.

A Nominee in Suspense-Lew Steward.
From the New York Time

fToIl int Now ioih ihhcS
Mr.. Lewis Steward, Democratic can
didate for Governor of Illinois, is in an
awkward -predicament. We have heard
of newspaper editor who did not know
whether he had any opinions until he
had heard from his Wall street patron.
Here is a candidate for Office who has
no political convictions about him until
ne hears from his candidate for the
Presidency. MI. Lewis Steward is a
well-meaning person, who has views on
the financial question. Such as they
are, he lays them aside ION the shelf, as
it were until he hears from Tilden.
Privately, Steward thinks that the
Governments promise topay is chased"
on something. Men of the calibre of
the Democratic nominee in Illinois are
given to "basing'' currency on intangi-
Bile things. They are like that class OF
dealers described by a Boston merchant
as persons who have deep diyings after
the infinite, and up-soarings for the UNI
searchable, and never pay their bills at
maturity. s

Senate the other day over the Texas

Mr.. Terri, in replying to Mr. Brady,
said il the mass Of flesh which usually
graced the place of the Senator from

polished brass would be found, upon
which would appear in plain letters,

me with other motives than those of
honor and duty, he tells a blistering
falsehood, and it shall stick and rot his

SATURDAY, AUGUST u, 1875.

It is now in order for the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Missouri,
Phelps. to step down hnd out. 1t seems
that in a recent trip down the Missouri,
he grossly insulted two young ladies.
His conduct was quite as indecent as
that for which Colonel Valentine Baker
was expelled from the British army. If
his party has any regard to its reputa-
tion, it will demand his speedy with
draWal from the field.

But the long lane has q turn some
time. One night ffr. fez5ea and party
were in the woods below the fort, wait
ing to get a victim. The night was
dark and cold, deep snow on the ground
and Pezee was restless. There was a
camp of friendly Assiniboines outside
the fort, and the Pezee said to his fol-
lows that he had a friend in the camp
and would go up and swap items with
him, and find out the prospect for scalps
as good as his word, and proceeded to
the lodge of his Assiniboine friend.
His friend was very glad to see him,
and rave the wink to his boy to go to
the fort and tell the interpreter. The
commanding officer sent a squad with
the Interpreter in hot hast to surround
the tepee and capture or kill Pezee. The
tepee was surrounded, andsthe boys in
blue were ready, at acharge bayonets,
to catch him on the fly. The interpret
er entered, and the Pezee out with his
knife, cut through the tepee and was
received on the bayonets and pinned to
the ground, pierced through the breast
and left still andsbleeding, stark naked
in the snow. Some wanted to hammer
his brains out to make sure, but the
sergeant said not, as he was dead.
Pezee says that during the whole trial
he did not lose his senses, but feigned
death, and was determined to stab the
first man that would strike him on the
head. After the soldiers left him he
got up and went to find his companions
in the woods, but they hadgone, and he
was weak and perishing for water. He
went to the river and chopped a hole In
the ice, and lay-there and drank till he
tainted, and during the night his COM
p~anions found him, and removed him
to a camp about twenty miles distant,
where he gradually recovered, and be-
came strong, hearty and more desperate
than ever.

(Cho-cob-ca-monia), or, IS he Is known

is indeed a very bitter pill, a wan chief
of the Uncapapa band Of Sioux, and
perhaps the most wonderful character
in that nation. His deeds of valor and
Craftsmanship are excelled by none, and
he has been particularly successful in
his raids against the soldiers, and his
deep-set enmity toward them is not
without cause Sfi5Tles n c zss1r
Pezee is about thirty-eight years old,
five feet seven inches high, and Of the
most perfectly developed form, small
hands and feet, short joints, active as
a cat and tough and strong as a grizzly.
He has q clip from q bayonet on the
bridge of his nose, that mars his fine
looking brazen face. The eye is dark
brown and sparkling, and. his hostile,
scornful gaze, says he has taken your
measure; that your dam was a slut and
you a fise, and he is the big dog. He
shakes your hand as though you had
a fit and he wants to bring y0u out of
it. He claims that no white man ever
looked him in the face without wincing.
He is very polite, and can be very agree
able to gain his point, and always leaves
the agency we'll supplied with ammu-
milton and the best Henry rifle. His
general manner is abrupt, bluff and
surly. He says General Harvey told
him if he asked he should receive, and
if he did not receive to take it.
The Pezee made himself very obnox-
ious about Fort Union in 1885, and if a
soldier would go to the woods to hunt
or chop wood, Pezee would be on hand,

A Solemn Retreat.

The Passionist Fathers, who occupy St. Michaels monastery in Hoboken, N. J., opened 8 religious retreat for the benefit of Roman Catholic men, who are desirous of wholly secluding themselves from worldly affairs for the term of eight days. All applicants for admis- sion into the monastery for the term and purpose above referred to were freely admitted; but the priests expect at least five dollars from each penitent to defray expenses. Many give ten and fifteen dollars, and in some instan ces much larger amounts are contributed by wealthy penitents at the close of the re- treat.
 Each penitent has separate apart ment, containing bed, washing stand, bureau, table. and pious books and pictures, The board given to the penitential guests is much more sumptuous and select than that which the priests allow themselves. Exercise is afforded the temporary recluses on the spacious corridors, or, weather per mitting, in the fine garden at the rear of the monastery.
 Many prominent and wealthy gentle men of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City have subjected themselves to the religious ordeal briefly described in this report. The ceremonies and nature oi the religious retreat are as solemn and interesting as they are peculiar.

A Young Rascal.

An enterprising youth near Cleveland,
 Ohio, sent out circulars far and wide set ting forth "Allan's New Low Priced Seven Shooter" which was triumph of mechanical genius." It was "war- ranted to be as good after three years use as when first purchased" On ac- count of improved facilities for making them rapidly and cheaply," the price was reduced to one dollar and half, or thir- teen dollars dozen. Orders came in freely, and when the purchaser received anything, it was small bronze pea shooter, into which, if seven small shot were dropped, they could be discharged in succession, by pull ,ng the trigger. As the youth had been using the mails for swindling operation, the case was put in the hands of United States marshal, who arrested him at small farm house with rickety woodshed for the arsenal" and took him to the lookup in Cleveland, where, at last ac- counts, he remained. He claimed that ho sent all that he advertised, and if people expected a revolver at that price 1t wasn't his fault. One can hardly con- ceive of any one foolish enough to ex- pect any kind of serviceable seven shooter, revolving or not, at such ridiculous price. Yet it is said that the orders poured in for them by "legions.

A Practical Use of Dogs.

It is fact perhaps not generally known that there is firm doing busi- ness in San Francisco who purchase the thousands of dogs slaughtered by the pound master of that city, or that may have been otherwise killed, for which they pay forty cents each. The carcas- ses are conveyed to their manufactory at South San Francisco, where the skins are removed and sold to the tanneries, the hair taken off and resold to plaster CTS, the hide tanned, made into gloves and sold in the market. The denuded carcass is then thrown into huge cal dron and boiled until the bones are easily separated from the flesh, when they are removed and sold to the sugar re6neries, where they are ground to a fine powder and used to clarify sugar. The oil that rises to the surface of the boiling mass is skinned off and manu- factured into cod liver oil, and the re- mainder is used for the purpose of fat tening hogs.

About Horse Races.

The New York Herald, in an article on horse racing, says:
 A horse is of little use that cannot carry man of ordinary weight, and 1t is sheer nonsense to prate about racing for the advancement and improvement of the breed of the thoroughbred horse without he can be bred to carry man weighing one hundred and fifty pounds or more and run fast also. It is his torical fact that a three-year- thor oughbred, Copenhagen, bore the Dukc of Wellington on his back for twelve hours on the last day of the battle of Waterloo, and when the French were beaten and Wellington dismounted the colt came near kicking the duke's brains out by letting his heels fly over the great generals head. Of such colts is this country much in need at the pres ent time, as too much attention has been wasted on the breeding of fast short dis tance runners, instead of having them, as we said before, to carry weight and run too. A horse that can run with one hundred and fifty pounds on his back four miles in eight minutes IS an nm, nitelv superior animal to the one tha' could run a mile i'll one minute thirty nine and one-half seconds, as Longfel low was said to have done in the tirs mile in the race for the Saratoga cul with Kingfsher. And it is probable that Longfellow would not have broker down in his rae with Harry Bassett hat the weights been what a fouryear-ol, will have to carry next summer, as it ha been demonstrated that it is the pac and not the weight that breaks down tn forelegs of tho racer.
