The Richings-Bernard troupe closed
its very successful season of five nights
with the performance of Auber's be-
witchingly romantic SRA Diavolo.n
The late hour at which the curtain fell
on the final act precludes our giving the
troupe and piece the extended notice to
which they are entitled, and we can
make but a brief notice at best. Each
and every member of the troupe seemed
filled with a desire to excel all previous
efforts, and when we say that all sue
ceeded in this laudable effort, we say
enough.
Mrs. Richings-Bernard was in ex-
quisite voice, and her acting vas simply
superb; Nh. Gates called into fullest
expression every detection of his
powerful, rich and silvery tenor; Mr..
Kinross was perfection itself in action
and voice; Miss Moore seemed over
flowing with melody, and carried out
to the life the part of the jealous, UNI
faithful wife; Mr.. Bernard was the
most lifelike bandit we have ever seen,
(he ought to take station on Cheyenne
river); while Mr.. Morgan's Lorenzo
and Mr.. Towards Matteo were finely
rendered.
We bid the troupe, one and all, n sad
yet fond farewell, hoping that ere
many moons shall have shone and
| faded, we NAV again be thrilled by
their sweet voices.

We publish in this issue the Cover
nor's proclamation for apportioning this
Territory for legislative purposes. W.
commend the document to the careful
perusal of our readers who take an
interest in the public affairs Of Wyo.
ming. To sayythat the apportionment
will be satisfactory to all the people OF
this Territory, would be a venturesome
statement, for it is a difficult, if not
impossible, task, to please everybody.
The Governor has kept on the safe side,
backed by facts and figures, in this
proclamation; he has taken the vote Of
last year, and, disregarding any claims
for increase in population made by any
locality, has apportioned the thirteen
members of the Council and the twenty
even members of the House in proper
ton to the votes cast for Delegate last
November. Governor Thayer has thus
avoided giving reasonable cause for
faultfinding, and we won't say that it
was not the best course for him to
adopt.
While the people of central and west
ern Wyoming will probably be well
satisfied with their share of representa-
ton in the Fifth Legislative Assembly
of this Territory, the citizens of Lar
annie county will be considerably dis.
appointed; for they expected to secure
representation for the large increase OF
population IN the northern part Of the
county, known as Crook county.
There is no. doubt that there are al
least two thousand people north of the
North Platte in this county and Ter.
ritory, and it is a great pity that our
hardy pioneers in that section should
be unrepresented in our next legisla-
ture. But the Governor cannot be
blamed for this; no official information
north of Fort Laramie has been re-
ceived at the Executive office up to
date; and the Governor delayed issuing
his proclamation for several weeks,
awaiting reliable reports from the
Black Hills country in Wyoming;
but the people there have taken no in
terest in the matter and failed to com.
municate officially with the Executive,
who, having NJ data at hand upon
which to base a reliable estimate, left
the claim of increased population made
by Laramie county entirely out of his
calculations.
The apportionmert being settled, we
must now go to work and select our
best men to represent our county in the
Assembly. Let us choose honest,
capable and intelligent men or women,
without regard to their former party
affiliations, and we can make up in the
quality of our representation what we
may lack in quantity.

He had been there a long time.
Time and travel had coated him with
grimy filth which nothing less than
the removal of the entire cuticle could
ever take from him. The soles Of his
hole-y shoes were starting from their
places and his p%antaloons seemed to
have been called up as witnesses in a
suit between his coat and shirt collars,
SO that there was a space of several in
ches between the tops of his stringless
shoes and the frayed ends of his panta-
loon legs. In this space and on the
grimy semblance of leg was a singular
looking ring, which was supposed to
denote the encircling top of the stock
ing. A tattered shirt and coat, and a
well ventilated hat completed his ward
robe. The coat YVES originally a swal-
low-tail, but in an unlucky moment a
savage dog had removed one-half of
the tail, and at the same time, pre-
sumably, had taken out a liberal mouth
full from the ear portion of the panta-
looms. In another unlucky moment
one sleeve of the coat and shirt had
been lost. The hat vas devoid of band
and rim. To add to his responsiveness
there floated about him an odor, not of
sanctity, but such as never before
greeted nostrils, and we hope never
may again.
When he entered this office, yester-
day, he wanted to borrow a quarter to
buy bread with. We gave him the
quarter and sent him out to the wood
pile with the information that he could
earn a dollar there by working a few
hours. He was soon engaged in pro-
pelling the saw and we left him. An
hour later he was missing, but soon
turned up again. 1t appears that he
visited a saloon and bought two drinks
''to brace up with" Lifting a huge
stick he started for the saw-buck. but,
the whisky taking effect in his legs he
fell, and a moment later tramp, stick,
saw and buck were rolling around the
yard in inextricable confusion. Soon
all was still, and when we again looked
out the tramp was snoring the happy
hours away, the hot sun broiling his
face the while.
At this moment a herd of young
hoodlums approached and commenced
tantalizlng the sleeper. After tickling
his nose a while they gathered a lot of
tin cans, tied them together, and fas-
tened them to the tail of his coat. Then
they stuffed his pockets full of rocks,
got an old plug hat and pushed it down
over his face, nearly tearing off his
ears. Fixing a lot of old clothes upon
sticks so as to look like a man, they
placed q crooked stick resembling Il
gun in the dummy's hands and waited
until twilight. Three or four pals of
water were then dashed upon the sleep
er, the boys yelled ''police!" and the
tramp awoke. The boys had cut eye
holes in the side of the hat, and as the
poor fellow rose he saw in the gather
ing gloom a a threatening him with
a gun. Howling with fright he sprang
up and ran away as fast as he could,
while the tin cans ratified loudly about
his heels. He was nearing Sidney at
last accounts, and those cruel boys are
laughing yet.

Charles Harrison, a deserter from
Company f, Fifth United States Caval-
ry, was arrested in Denver, Monday,
by officer Casey. The same officer
arrested the man several weeks ago as
a vagrant, since which time he has been
hanging around the town. Casey had
his eye on him, however, and seeing a
description of Harrison among those of
several deserters, hunted him up Mon
day and lodged him in Jail.
