The Mosquito Of tho Yellowstone.

Col. NJ. v. Sheridan thinks that of
all the denominations in this world, or
the world to come, the Yellowstone or
Upper Missouri mosquito is the most
abominable. At Fort Buford, on his
way down, he found every officer and
soldier wearing a close fitting head-net,
and the whole command enveloped in
smoke arising from a hundred
''smudges," or fires. Still there was
no sleep or rest for the men. Some
were nearly crazed by the torture. Any
one who has ever been bitten by a
Yellowstone mosquito will not need to
be told how it feels. One mosquito can
annoy him exceedingly, while a dozen
may throw him into spasms, but a
swarm Of them can suck him dry of
blood, eat all the flesh off his bones, and
chew up and spit out his clothes and
shoes in Just four minutes by any chro-
nometer in the land. The Yellowstone
mosquito can't be i%ntimidated or bull
dozed. He won't fly at the motion of
the hand. When he locates on a man
he settles for good and you may pull
hislegs out by the roots and he won't
let go-not until he gets his little belly
full. Seriously, the soldiers stationed
in that country find life almost unen-
durable at this season Of the year.

The Opera.

The Richings-B Bernard Opera COM
pany appeared last evening, at McDan-
iels' theatre, to a large and fashionable
audience, embracing the most cultured
and critical ladies and gentlemen of
the Magic City, and the opera of
Martha was rendered in so perfect and
enhancing manner as to hold the au-
dience spell bound with delight from
the rise to the fall of the curtain.
Mrs. Richings-Bernard has not lost a
single iota of charm, either in voice or
action, thrilling her audience to-day
exactly as she did ten years ago.
Harry Gates, the principal tenor, is
a young man in the profession. His
performance is good already and his
promise is still better. His voice is
exceptionally rich and Of wide range.
Miss Hattie Moore, second lady, is a
very pleasant singer and actress. The
orchestration is good. The chorus is
very strong.
Tonight will be rendered Balfe's
masterpiece of The Bohemian Girl,
with the full strength of this matchless
company. Many seats and boxes are
already taken, and those who desire
desirable seats will do well to secure
them early to-day at the =. o. news

Banning's grading camp was moved
yesterday to a point twelve miles south
of Hazard, and the force is now finish

Howlett's grading camp is at Hay &
Thomas ranch on Lone Tree, the men
being at work in the meadow. This
camp will move south next week.
The timbers for the second bridge
below Hazard have not yet arrived, and
therefore tracklaying will be retarded

A SURPRISING Surprise.

A few days ago a lady residing in the
upper part of town, received an anony-
nous note informing her that a few of
her friends were making arrangements
to give her a surprise party. The
writer stated that she had been sur
prised herself and knew how it was,
and that she thought her friend would
like to be prepared. Accordingly, the
to-be-surprised lady made arrange
ments fora good time. \ splendid
collation. was prepared, and the house
was put in order. On the appointed
night, the lady arranged herself in her
best, and after a trip through the house
for the purpose of seeing that every
thing was in order, she sat down to
await the arrival of the smart surpris-
ers. The clock licked the hours away
until ten was struck, and the servants,
who had been busy all day, asked per-
mission to retire. This was refused,
but the lady, after waiting in anxious
expectancy for another hour, gave them
leave to go to bed. After sitting up
herself until one O'Clock, she retired,
moralizing on the base motives which
fluenced that anonymous writer.

Another strike at the Erie:coaI Mines.

Another strike has occurred at the
Erie, Colorado, coal mines. Wednes-
day morning, the miners employed
by the Boulder Valley Coal
company, seventy-fve in number, an
nounced their decision to do no more
work until certain demands were COM
piled with. Their complaint this time
is not of low wages, but of low weight.
They are paid by the ton, and claim
that the company's weigher does not
allow them good weight. They assert
that for a full load of the car into
which they throw the coal as they dig
it they are allowed only 1,4OO to 1000
pounds, whereas the full weight is from
1900 to 1900 pounds.
No reports have been received of
violence done or offered. The strikers
were reported at last accounts to be
acting peaceably, and to have most of
them gone to their homes. If the
miners representations be truthful
they certainly have just cause Of COM
plant.

The Pilgrims are rapidly leaving the
Black Hills and the more restless mi
ners are making their way to the Big
Horn. Capital is taking hold of the
quartz mining and immense returns
are being realized. In the meantime
the hydraulic process is being brought
to bear on the placer diggings and they
are yielding large returns. New dis
coveries are also reported, but best of
all the agricultural resources of the
Hills are being developed, and fields of
wheat and vegetables are noted OH
every hand. Society is well regulated,
law is respected and capital is making
permanent Investments. The timber
resources of the country are also being
utilized Take it all in all the Hills are
a success in every respect, the whines of
disappointed men to the contrary, not
withstanding.

The Best Summer Beverage.

In this sultry summer weather the
average man Graves a liquid which
combines cooling. refreshing and nour-
ishing qualities in the highest degree.
Physicians recommend bottled lager
beer, and the demand has therefore
become so great that u dealers are
compelled to ship by the car load in
order to meet it. Milwaukee lager has
acquired a worldwide reputation, and
Blatz' brewery, the largest and best
appointed in that city, making the beer
which took the first premium for bot
tied lager at the Centennial Exposition,
last year, has been making the best
beer for many years. a car load of
this favorite brewery's beer was UNI
loaded at Col. Murrin's wholesale house
yesterday, and all can be supplied there.
A full supply of Lemp's st. Louis bot
tied lager is also stored in the Colonel's
cellar. 1t

Some interesting statements are re-
ported to have been made at a meeting
of the Clinical society, London, show
ing that a slow pulse may in no wise
interfere with health. The most re-
markable case, perhaps, was.that of DR..
Hewan, as related by himself. 1t seems
that, twenty-one years ago, after pro-
longed study and work, his pulse fell
from seventy-two to fifty-ive, and he felt
very cold; from that time its frequency
gradually decreased until about eleven
years later, when-it was about twenty
four beats per minute. Its present
rate is about twenty-eight. Notwith-
standing this he has not suffered from
fainting, fits, or cold, is capable of great
physical exeration-of which evidence
is to be found in his ascent of a high
mountain-and his digestion remains
unimpaired. Another speaker said that
Napoleon had a slow pulse, being about
thirty to forty per minute; and another
member stated the rate of ahorse's
pulse to be only sixteen.

County Seals.

OF all the county seals of Wyoming,
that Of Laramie county is handsomest
in design. In its center is a huge and
well proportioned buck, standing erect,
his fine antlers high in air.
The Carbon county seal shows a sick
ly looking Shanghai calf, wearing deer's
antlers, and standing at the foot of
some ugly shaped sandheaps, over which
the orb of day is rising.
The seals of Albany, Sweetwater and
Uinta counties are very plain, that of
Uinta being the neatest in design.

Rather Romantic.

A young man who advertised in
THE LEADER several months ago for a
wife, received numerous epistles from
fair and unfair maids, all of whom
were yearning to enter into the paths
of matrimony. Among the letters was
one from a lovely lass whose home is in
the Sucker state, accompanied by her
photograph. Her varied charms, as
shown in the picture, pierced the sus-
ceptible heart of the matrimonially-
inclined young man, and after the
passage of eight or ten love-laden
missives between them, he purchased a
wedding suit, and a travelling outfit,
and journed toward the rising sun
OF their meeting, little need be said.
Let it suffice to say that before many
suns shall have cast their parting rays
athwart the peaks Of the Black Hills,
another cottage on the hillside will be
filled with housekeeping articles, and
the happy couple will take possession
thereof. So mote it be.

THE A-pposr,oxnemr.

Hayford gets ahead of the Governor
a few days by publishing his W no
ton about what ought to be the appor-
tionment for members of the legisla-
ture.l He, very generously. gives Lara
mic county nine members of the House
tout of twenty-seven) and four of the
Council, tout Of thirteen) while a fair
apportionment for this county would
have been fourteen members of the
House and seven of the Council. Lara
mic county, including the embryo coun-
ty of Crook, has certainly within its
borders a majority Of the people of
Wyoming Territory, and it should
therefore have a controlling power in
the Legislative assembly. While we do
not think Gov. Thayer will look upon
Hayford's plan as just, and equitable
to all parts of this Territory, wed do. not
expect from the Governors coming
proclamation our due share of repre-
sentation. Laramie county has been
treated!b b our Executives with extreme
parsimoniousness in former appor-
tionments, and a departure from this
old custom of continuously avoiding
profusion in distributing favors to this
county on the part Of our present Chief
Magistrate, is therefore not anticipated
by our people.
We will be thankful if we get a
dozen members Of the lower House,
and a half dozen in the upper; we
ought not to have less representation,
and we do not expect more.
