Mr.. Alexander III. Stephens says about
himself: Il suppose I have been the
subject of as many health bulletins as
anybody, and can compete in that regard
with Charles OConor, Mr. Morton and
the Pope. Well, my health is better in
some respects than it has been in twenty
years; in others not so good. | suppose
| have been the most pitiful subject OF
dyspepsia that any person has been, and
yet survived. | can't even now eat an
egg nor touch cup of coffee settled with
egg. | can't touch butter nor milk, but
can take hold of chop, sirloin steak
or chicken with relish. My rheumatism
Is worse, and | am weaker in the limbs
than | have been. The bronchial
troubles which so nearly carried me off
last winter, have nearly disappeared. If
L continue in the same state of health I
am now in, / will be able to attend the
sessions of the House very regularly this
winter. In 1874 and 1875 / think |
didn't miss day" Mr.. Stephens face
Is furrowed by suffering; his eyes are
small, dark and vivacious; his hand,
smaller than that of a delicate girl, is
white and firm. He has Just arrived in
this city.

81 members, republicans 80, and the nation

. The eaIlan, Young Mans Mishap.

An incident which occurred yester-
day reminds us that the gallant young
man is abroad in Cheyenne. Our hero
is a very gallant young man, and when
he saw the hat of a pretty young lady
blow off in yesterdays gale, lie rushed
frantically after it. The hat sailed
along the sidewalk, and at the corner of
Eddy and 18th streets, plunged into a
deep puddle. The young man, with a
boldness worthy of a better cause,
plunged in after this foot slipped,
and he fell fiat, smashing the delicate
mass of felt, flowers and floating rib
bons, Rising a moment later, he cast
a %reproachful glance at the young lady,
who had then come up, murmured
''d-n that hat" and hurried away in
search of dry clothes.

Our Cadet.

Before the expiration of his time Col.
Steele sent in the nams Of William
Octavius Owens as a suitable candidate
for the West Point cadetship, made
vacant by the resignation of Ed. S.
Hurlbut.
Willie Owens is the son of a widow
lady residing at Laramie city, is II
years of age and has lived in that town
some eight or nine years. He is rep
resented as a bright, active, intelligent
lad, with enough elan in his make up
to make a tip top military aggressor.
He was very warmly urged for the
place by all the leading citizens of that
town, and highly recommended by
Prof. Fitch. of the public school, as
possessing the requisite mental quail
fications.
There were other applicants for the
place, but none who were so well rec
commended in every respect as he was.
This is the third cadet taken from our
public schools by Col. Steele, for West
Point and Annapolis, and it is a great
incentive to promote progress in studies
and a laudable ambition among the
boys who march up the hill with
wooden swords and paper military hats,
and then march down again.
There is a vacancy in the naval
academy at Annapolis, for Wyoming,
owing to the rejection of Willie Nc
Laughlin or account of not being tall
enough for the minimum standard,
when examined in September last.
Some other bright, good Wyoming
boy should capture this place by striv-
ing hard to fit himself for it.
