Tonight, IN this quiet home, where lie light,
and warmth, and peace, and no sound breaks
the perfect silence of the room save the cheer
full cracking OF the rudy fire, and the tick,
tick, of the faithful old clock on the mantel,
sits one with idle, folded hands, listening to
the warning elements outside, and vaguely won
derng il this is not the night on which the
storm fends hold high carnival. While to her
the old clock seems to be reproachfully repeat
ing Idle hands Idle hands," She takes up
her pen. but no thoughts worth recording will
come at her bidding. Ever and anon she is
drawn to the window to look out upon the
raging storm which, for her, possesses an IRE
sistible fascination. And, indeed, there is ever
something inexpressibly grand and magnificent
in such storm. Now, as she watches the fu-
nous wind which fills the air with q mist Of
whirling, eddying snow. che stands again in inn
sgination by Nlagaras mighty cataract, the
sound of its rushing, roaring waters is in her
ears,-the binding, dashing spray Is in her
eyes. Once more with bated breath she stands
in mute admiration before the awful majesty
Of that swe-inspring scene Truly, here 10
wonderful scope for the imagination! In the
low, dark line OF leafess trees in the distance
she beholds the half ruined walls of an ancient
city while fancy readily shapes the the dim
outlines OF nearer objects into castles. towers,
and cathedrals. In the roar OF the wind she
hears the sound Of mighty waves as they break
along the rock-bound shore. And yon glim-
mering light is the beacon which warns the
tempest-tossed mariner off the treacherous
rocks. Surely. one should get an inspiration
from scene OF 30 much beauty and grandeur.
But alas the ideas che fain would grasp are
still beyond her reach. She turns her gaze IN
ward to the quiet room, and repeats 40, soil
tude where is the charm that sages have seen
IN thy face?' Looking outward again, for the
first time comes the Thought, and she exclaims
with little shiver "God help the houseless,
homeless wanderer this bitter night"
But bark! Again she listens to the wind
which rises into fearful shrek; and now it
sobs and means like mortals in grief and pain
and now it dies away in prolonged wall like
the anguish Of lost spirit, only to shrek, and
sob, and moan, and die away again.

OPERA BoUFFE AND COMEDY.

Tomorrow evening, Dec. oath, Miss
Adah Richmond and her celebrated
company of opera bouffe artists, will
appear at McDaniels' new Theatre in a
programme replete with fresh and
sparkling novelties; and we are assured
will reach far beyond the most san
guine expectations of our theatre-goers.
The fame of this great combination is
widespread, and both press and public
have been united in their praise of
their m%eritorious entertainments. Our
citizens should bear in mind that they
only appear here for two performances,
the oath and 25th, and they give an
entire change of bill each evening. We
advise our readers to take advantage of
this, the only opportunity they may
ever have of seeing the wonderful COM
bination. The entrance to the Theatre
will be on Sixteenth street, next door
to the Arcade restaurant. Seats can
be secured at Hoit's book store. Re-
served seats, n dollar. Turn out
and give them a hearty Cheyenne
greeting.

duty in the matter. They had been FIVE
days engaged in the trial when I
reached Cheyenne, and the evidence
was closed. Had Mr.. Woodruff re-
ceived either of the dispatches which 1
sent he would have answered, and 1
would have been there at the beginning
of the trial. 1 felt at the time / reached
there that the parties that had thus
deprived me of my right to raise my
voice in defense of my old playmate,
were unworthy of the name of man,
and If my feeling was SO strong in that
behalf what must have been the feel
ings Of that poor boy without a friend
within a thousand miles of him-with-
out even acquaintance to testify to his
former good character, and the only
one that could come, to be thus de-
frauded out of his right to help him.
But this is no time for bitter reflections,
and l would gladly draw a mantle of
silence around every such act and cir
cumstance connected with his convic-
ton, were it not 1 know you will desire
to hear and know all in this matter 1t
has been more than a year since his
trial, and some of the particulars l may
have forgotten, but in regard to the
dispatches which were Intercepted, 1
made an affidavit, which was filed in
the case on motion of a new trial, as 1
understand, and to which / refer you
in case you desire to see the same, AS l
may have stated the particulars more
fully in that than | can now remember
them.
The motion for n new trial was aban-
doned by us for several reasons: First,
His mother had mortgaged her home to
pay the expenses of the first trial.
Second, There was considerable public
feeling against him, and unless he
could have a new trial under fairer
circumstances than the last, it might
have been as bad or even worse for
him. ut that time had expended all
l could possibly spare from the neces-
sary demands of my family in order to
make the trip, and | did not know that
l could possibly be present in ease a
new trial was granted, and we thought
it best to allow him to remain six
months or 4 year in the Penitentiary,
and rely upon executive clemency for
relief.
Every citizen who knew him has
signed the petition, certifying that they
knew him personally; that he was in
every respect a first-class boy; and those
citizens so asking you for his pardon
are of the very best men Of the state of
Iowa. Some of them l understand you
knew as soldiers some of them. whom
l know personally have been with you
on dangerous grounds, and who held
your life more sacred than their own,
and would be the last men in the world
to petition you to do an act that is not
just or charitable

that there were no attendants with them

several years, and until yesterday sup
posed that he had seen all the sights.
Passing along a leading thoroughfare
however, he was disabused of this
opinion by suddenly sighting a man,
moth opening, apparently a cave of
unfathomable depth, from which issued
q sound like the wailing of a newborn
elephant. He turned out and sue
ceeded in getting past the supposed
cave, when upon looking back, he was
surprised at seeing nothing except a
young lady walking with a gentleman.
1t was her mouth, and she had smiled
aloud just before meeting him.
