c LEAFLETS.

! The Old year is about ready TO pass
in its chips.
Yesterdays trains brought 80 Chey-
enne passengers.
And still huge piles of snow obstruet
the sidewalks in all parts Of the city.
At 8 O'Clock this morning an u. p.
trains due here to-day were moving on
time.
The funeral of Mr., Adams, who died
yesterday, will be held to-day at IL a.
m. at the n. E. church.
aLocal leaflets" in December are
certainly as appropriate as stolen s'sun-
beams'' on a cloudy day.
Ladies who will receive callers on
New Years day are requested to leave
their names at this Office to-day.
Let's organize a band of bull-dozers
and intimidate all those lazy people who
haven't cleaned of their sidewalks.
The boys have begun skating on the
sidewalks, a practice greatly disap-
proved of by fat men and nerveless
ladies.
Men who will not steal q lead pencil
are scarcer than men who return bor-
rowed umbrellas-and W. regret to state
that both species are extinct in Chey-
enne.
For the convenience of all parties, we
desire to publish a list of all ladies who
will receive callers On New Years day.
Names must be left at this ONCE before
10 O'Clock tonight.
A passenger who arrived here from
the east yesterday tells a pitiful story
regarding the bull-dozing he received
from Sidney cut-throats. They robbed
him of fourteen hundred dollars.
Quarterly meeting service begins at
the NJ. Z. church tonight. Preaching
at Z p. m. by Rev. B. F. Crazy, p. E.,
to be followed by quarterly conference.
Sabbath services-preaching at IL a.
m, and in the evening a watch meet
ing, to be fully announced tomorrow.
The City Council holds a special
meeting this evening. The members
will draw their little old salary for the
Centennial year, thus impoverishing
the treasury to the amount Of sixty
dollars. The board will also canvass
the returns of the late city election,
and il nc parishes are thrown out they
will probably count in leighton and
Gueck.

Indian EceentTicities.

The red man'sideabf magnifeence, or
power or numbers is embodied in the
English siang-word heap" With him
it is heap everything, II is his sup
enatiye. Heap big'' Oh 'fhesP littie''
be will say, according to the immen-
sity or diminutiyeAess of what be sees.
His courtesy Is peculiar. He hates long
phrases and eondenses all his friendship
into the single word "How f"-his
never-failing s~alutation and expression
of amity. He puts ont his hand-always
small, like his foot, no matter how
large the owner, and holds yours just a
second. Then he drops it like a hot
potato. If he meets a white man for
whom he has a particular regard, he
will double his s~alutation in this form:
"How?-how?" and viii press your fin
gers an instant longer than in ordinary
cases.
The Indian terminates a conference
in majestic manner When his BUSH
ness is finished and he has no more to
say, he rises from his seat, stands erect
as an arrow, folds his robe around him,
and, without a parting word, walks of
to his lodge. In personal habit, beyond
the matter of going half naked in hot
weather, the Indian, male OF female, is,
as a rule, modest to refinement, and
does not disgust anybody by exhibitions
Of human f~ilthiness, as some white peo-
pie do.
The Indian women show wonderful
genius in the art of embroidery, and
have a knowledge of compounding col
or which is truly amazing. They can
dye eagle and other feathers every hue
of the rainbow and can put to shame
the ingenuity of Parisienne in decorat-
ing leggings and other Indian adorn-
ments. They utilize porcupine quilts
for the purpose of identifying buffalo
robes and blankets, and cut the skins
of beasts into fantastic habiliments, to
make their men comfortable in peace
and fear-producing in war.
Taken all in all they are enigmas. In
nothing do they more contradict their
real nature than in the sounds of mirth.
The shrill, sharp, terrible voice thai
can shout the w~ar-whoop, or utter the
death cry in battle. can laugh with a
silvery softness-sweet as ever white
maiden laughed--when the war
riors meet in the circle of the lodge fire.
And in conversation their voices, speak.
ing their own cultural dialect, are gen
tie and musical to an extraordinary de-
gree. Their affection for each other is
only excelled by their hatred for foes,
real oil imagined. They weep above
their dead, and their traditional stoicism
is often put to fight when some favor
lite of the tribe is stricken down in his
glory or in his youth. Then human ma
ture asserts itself and tears fall from
eyes that have often blazed with devil
ish hatred, and gazed upon scenes that
would not alone make angels weep but
woxAld also nnn1ze demons

OUR YOUNGEST SISTER.


The bill to establish the Territory OF
Huron andproyide . temporary govern
ment therefor, which passed the Senate
Last week, proposes to create the new
Territory out of the northern portion
of the present Territory of Dakota. 1t
has been before Congress for the past
four years, and having passed the Sen
ate now goes to the House Of Represen-
tatives for the concurrence of that
body. The present Territory of Dako-
ia contains 150, 932 square miles, 1t is
to be a parallelogram, extending from
Minnesota, on the east, for something
less than 400 miles, to Montana IN the
west, and from the British possessions
on the north 2Uo miles to the boundary
of the remaining territory on the south.
Its population is estimated at about
10000, having received considerable ac-
cessions by immigration since the TAX
ing of the last census. Bismarck viii
be the capital.
Among the reasons given for the pas
sage of the bill are that the settlements
in the present territory of Dakota are
comprised in two separate and distinct
communities, entirely separate and dis
tinct from their geographical positions.
The inhabited portion of southern Da-
kota, the old settled portion Of the ter
ritory, is along the Missouri river. Its
commercial relations are with Nebras-
ka, Sioux City and through Iowa to
Chicago. Northern Dakota, the por-
ton which the bill proposes to create
into a new territory, is settled for 200
miles along the proposed Northern
Pacific railway and along the Red River
of the North. Its commercial relations
are with Duluth, st. Paul and Milwau-
kee. The inhabitants of the northern
portion are often compelled in winter
to travel as far east as Chicago in order
to reach the capital, Yankton, in the
southern part of the territory, there
being no direct means of communion
ton between the northern and southern
portions. Hence it was deemed adj
visable to create a new territory out Of
the part described. 1t was at first pro-
posed to call the new territory Pembi-
ma, but the name was changed to HUI
ron on motion Of Mr.. Bogy.

A Perilous Journey from the Black Hills

a FERROUS Journey from the Black Hills.
A lady giving her name as Mrs. R. A.
Kilbury, stopped in Allegheny yester-
day, having just returned from Dead
wood, Dakota Territory, bringing let
tiers from Isreal V. Hoge to his relatives.
The mission of Mrs. K. was one of par
ticular sadness. She cane to ME home
of an aged couple in Butler county to
announce to them the death of their
SOL and his wife in the far west and to
place in their keeping four little or
phaned grandchildren who had been in
trusted to her care by the father while
on his deathbed. The story, in brief, is:
Nearly a year ago Alexander Mcmillan,
his wife and three children, of Butler,
went to the Black Hills, and soon after
their arrival at Deadwood the husband
vas FRUSTRATED with a fever, and while
he was at the point of death his wife
gave birth to an infant and died when
1t was only sever days old. The people
of Deadwood subscribed money to send
the children back to Butler, and Mrs.
charge of the helpless little ones and
bring them to their grandparents.
After taking leave Of the dying father
(he died a few hours after his depart
ure) the little party started for Chey-
enne in a heavy freight-wagon contain
ing a feather bed and an abundance of
blankets. They Travelled over the long
and dreary route, reaching Cheyenne in
safety, and thence by rail to Butler,
where the children all well, were placed
in charge Of their relatives. 1t is al
most miraculous that Mrs. X. succeeded
in bringing the infant, only ten days
old, through the perilous voyage. She
stated that at times during the trip in
the wagon she was nearly frozen, and
that she kept the babe alive with milk,
which was warmed by means Of an oil
lamp. Pittsburg Commercial.
