The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-04-20


A dispatch from New York states
that no less than eight cases Of lun-
acy have been taken from the Hip
podrome to the Tombs prison since
the Moody and Smkey meetings
commenced in that city. This proves
nothing as regards religion, nor to
the prejudice of Moodynnd Sankey's
ministrations. Religious revivals,
like all other sudden excitements or
intellectual, spiritual or nervous or
deals, have in all ages and countries
caused or developed cases of insanity.
Financial panics have the same effect,
so likewise have political excite
ments, wars and domestic troubles.
The minds that are operthrown by
these ,exeitements are naturally weak
or unsound, and readily give way
under q strain ofunusual excite
ment. Those who sneer at religious
revivals because one person is thrown
off his or her mental balance thereby.
while thousands are not, belong to
that class of superficial reosoners
who would denounce the sun as u
curse because oncein a great while
we hear of a ease of insanity or death
caused by sun-strokc.

Nan and the Brute.

Mr.. Darwin's theories of tie descent Of
much deba.ed question whether there is
any quality Of the human animal which is
not common, in greater or less degree. to
the beasts. The ancient attempt to found
a distinction in mans possession of reason
ing powers has long been exploded. 1t is
generally conceded that beasts reason.
Then an argument was founded on mans
possessionof language. But it is nowagreed
that beasts also have an imperfect Ian
guage by which they communicate with one
another. Finally the anti Darwinians for
titled themselves in mans religious faculty.
1t is singular that in this long and heated
discussion the obvious distinction should
have been overlooked, that man is the only
animal in creation who %wilfully spits. Ills
superiority to the bonsts IN this respect is
manifest to everybody who frequents the
horse-cars, or has occasion TO pass by cor
ners where loafers congregate. Whose
wife's dress has not at some time been
trailed in salivaP Whose own boots have
not ut some time been dimmed by the ex-
pectorations of n fellow man WHO has not
at some time seen the wi'sul splitter take his
seat near the door Of n public conveyance.
and create n pool from his s~alivary glands,
through which oil passengers in or out
must puddle ? But who, beholding these
exploits. ever seriously considers that the
wiful splitter is proving the superiority of
man to a brutea The argument afforded by
such spectacles is usually, but enormously,
supposed to tell tho other way.-T. 7.

In answer to the hundreds Of
communications we are in daily re-

get of information herewith given,
for the benefit Of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it is not as complete as we desire
and promise to make it, We think il
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query propounded is
whether we really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit OF
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions OF
the region, the richest discoveries
having been of quite recent occur
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and -four
ishing town, with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West and north of the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
Of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
are full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
DISTANCES.
Following we give the distances
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,
the points mentioned being, as will
be seen, at convenient distances
apart for camping, and having ac-
commodations for travellers.

THE "CRADLE.TOMB" " AT WESTMINSTER.

A little rudely-sculptured bed,
With shadOwy folds Of marble lace,
And quilt of marble, primly spread
And folded round baby's face.
Smoothly the mimic coverlet.
With royal blazOnries bedight,
hangs, as by tender fingers set,
And Strengthened for the last goodnight.
And traced upon the pillowing stone
A dent is seen, as If, to bless
Inat quiet sleep, some grieving one
Had leaned, and left a soft impress.
II seems no more than yesterday
Since the sad mother, down the stair,
And down the long aisle, stole away,
And left her darling sleeping there.
But dust upon the cradle lies,
And those who priced the baby so,
And decked her couch with heavy sighs,
Were turned TO dust long years ago.
Above the peaceful piliowed head
Three centuries brood and strangers peep
And wonder at the carven bed;
But not unwept the baby's sleep;
For wistful mother-eyes are blurred
With sudden mlSts, as lingeEerS stay,
And the old duSts are reused and stirred
By the warm tear-drOps of to-day.
Soft, furtive hands caress the stone,
And hearts, O'erleaping place and age,
Melt into memories, and own
thrill Of common parentage.
Men die, but sorrow never dies
The crOwding years divide in vain,
And the wide world is knit with ties
Of common brotherhood in pain;
OF common share in grief and loss,
And heritage in the immortal bloom;
Of Love, which, towering round its cross,
Made beautiful baby's tomb.

MORMON DIVORCE CAsEs.-A corre-
spondent of the Springfield Republican
writes:
"Gradually Mormon wives of long
standing are getting dissatified with
their peculiar marriage relations, and
are kicking out of the traces. Divorces
are multiplying, and it seems that we
will soon rival virtuous Chicago in the
divorce business. The most recent case
is that of John Larson, dyed-in-the-
wool Mormon. While on proselyting
mission to Sweden, in 1S4S, he convert
ed his wife to Mormonism and matri-
mOny. In 1862, as his darling was
growing old, he married another wife.
This she stood until forbearance had
ceased to be a virtue, few weeks ago,
and now sues for a divorce, after twen-
ty-eight years mixture of happiness
and jealousy. Mrs. Jane Cooley, another
disaffected Mormon wife, has recently
got a divorce from her husband and re-
covered as her portion property to the
value of $4,000. Inflated with these
successes against monster man, other
women now held in bondage are asking
their attorneys if there is any balm in
Utah, in the shape of alimony and
counsel fees, for slighted affections and
wounded hearts,"

WoMAN's MIssIoN.-When Colum-
bus braved the perils of unknown seas
to add America to the world, it was the
white hand of woman that fitted him
for his venturesome voyage of discov-
cry. So it is that woman equips man
every day for the voyage of life.
Woman, as mans helper, rises to her
peculiar and best altitude. He repre-
sents the intellectual, she the mind
governing hearts. Power appertaips to
him, but influence, more subtle and
penetrating than power-another name
for power in its most delicate and all
pervading form-belongs to her.
