commission passed through this city
last Sunday en- route to the haunts of
the savage strategist who has for SO
many years defed the civil and mill

Mrs. Gen. Merritt and other ladies' and
officers from Camp Carlin and Fort
Russell were at the depot to meet Gen.
Alfred II. Terry, the head Of the com
mission and a military gentleman who
occupies a high place in the esteem of
the rank and file of our entire army.
OF course 50 noted a body Of men could
not pass through Cheyenne without
receiving attention from THE LEADER,
and therefore a reporter took dinner
with the commission and afterward
rode out toward the Rockies with the
view of obtaining some information of
interest to the readers Of this pioneer
paper of Wyoming. Gen. Terry was
very communicative, and from him the
following facts were Cleaned:

with the Indian nature can readily
realize how that which to the general
public would seem Of only passing in
terest, would to them seem fraught
with greatest moment, and rouse them
to a state but little short of frenzy To
such a condition were they brought by
the recent events, which comprised the
escape, capture, and death of Crazy
Horse, and it was only through con-
summate tact, a correct appreciation
of the situation, and the Indian charac-
ter, cool Judgment and prompt action
that serious consequences were averted.
To correctly appreciate the situation
here you must take into consideration
that there are o over 5000 Indians
at this Agency Spotted Tally nearly
one third of whom were recently
hostile and as yet not thoroughly ''re-
constructed" many of them at an
Agency, for the first time, bound by ties
of relationship, and as they regard it of
onmon interest, with Crazy Horse
and his people. In the ground up'' of
Crazy Horses village at Camp Rob
inson, large numbers escaped, fully
900 seeking refuge with their friends
here, and adding fuel to the flame.
This man Crazy Horse, possessing
considerable influence with those
Indians lately hostile, was generally
distrusted and disliked by the Agency
Indians who regarded him as y fire
brand in their midst and they are
doubtless not overwhelmed with grief
that he has been removed finally and
forever. 1t is difficult to form a correct
estimate of his true character; a
prominent characteristic was reticence
allied with stubbornness, in the exercise
of which at times he seemed not inaptly
named. His prominence with his people
was undoubtedly due more to his
undisputed personal bravery than to
any traits fitting him to counsel or
guide them. The first knowledge of
his escape was received here from some
20 Indian soldiers who reported that
they had followed him in hot pursuit
from Camp Robinson, traversing the

Robert Dale Owens Marriage.

The story Of Mr.. Owens marriage is q
remarkable one. His wite's maiden name
WAS Mary Jane Robinson. They were
married in New York, April 12, 1882
No one performed any ceremony; simply
u contract was drawn up by Mr.. Owen,
which Miss Robinson and he both signed
in the presence Of friends and witnesses
1t said:
1--WE contract legal marriage, not be.
cause we deem the ceremony necessary to
US, or useful in rational state of public
opinion to society, but because if we be.
came companions without a legal cere-
mony, we should either be compelled to
series of dissimulations which we both
dislike, or be perpetually exposed to an
noyances originating in a public opinion
which is powerful, though unenlightened,
and whose power, though we do not fear
or respect it, we do not perceive the util-
ity of unnecessarily Drawing. We desire
a tranquil life, in so far as it can be OBJ
tained without sacrifice of principle. X =
Theceremony, too, involves not the necessi-
ty of making promises regarding that tower
which we have no control-the state of
human affection in the distant future;
nor of repeating forms we deem offensive,
in as much as they outrage the principles
of human liberty and equality by confer
ring rights and imposing duties un-
equally on the sexes. Of the
unjust rights which, in virtue Of this cere.
mony, an iniquitous law tacitly gives me
over the person and property of another,
l cannot legally, but l can morally, divest
myself And hereby distinctly and EN-.
phatically declare that consider myself,
and earnestly desire to be considered by
others, as utterly divested, now and dur.
ing the rest of my life, of any such rights,
the barbarous relics of feudal and des.
potic system, soon destined, in the on.
ward course of Improvement, to be wholly
swept away, and the existence of which is
tacit insult to the good sense and good
feeling of the present comparatively CIV
ilized age"
This covenant was kept with religious
fidelity until the last. Mrs. Owen died
in August, 1871. "All grief which cop-
vulses the features" says Ruskin, sis ig-
noble" Robert Dale Owen, who had
deeply loved his wife for forty years, had
the heart to conduct the funeral services
at her grave. He said on that occasion
81 do not believe-and here | speak for
her whose departure from among us we
mourn to-day---I do not believe more
firmly in these trees that spread their
shade over us, in this hill on which we
stand, in those sepulchral monuments
which we see around US here-than do
that human life, once granted, perishes
nevermore. She believed, as |
believe, that the one life succeeds the
other without interval, save brief transi-
ton slumber, it may be of a few hours
only. Again believe, as she
did, in the meeting and recognition of
friends in heaven. While we mourn here
below, there are joyful reunions above."-

A Remarkable AutOmatOn,

Messrs Maskelyne & Cooke, of Lon.
don, have invented new automato ton,
which bids fair to rival the reputation
acquired by their celebrated Paycho, the
mystery of whose operation has not yet
been discovered. Mr. Maskelyne sub
mits to the examination of his audience
a small stand or table, having an oblong
base or plinth of wood, resting on five
small knob feet, also of solid wood, and
a single wood pillar supports the thin
table top, which, on its upper surface, is
of silk stuffed like cushion. This light
stand is then placed on the stage, aud is
isolated from the carpet on the floor by
fiat squares of clear plate glass, first in.
spected by the audience, and then, with.
out possibility of substitution, laid one
under each foot of the table. The auto
nation, "Zoe," the model of young
lady in Greek costume, is fashioned in a
sitting attitude, and if she could stand
up would be about four and half feet
IN stature. She is carried round so that
all may test by her weight the fact that
she is certainly hollow doll fitted with
light mechanism, and cannot possibly
be an outside shell holding diminutive
human being within. She is then placed
sitting upon the stuffed top of the little
table with her back to the audience; an
easel supported by bracket from the
table top holds upright before her. and
at nearly arms length, a drawing board
with sheet of paper about twenty
inches long by eighteen broad, and a
crayon is held between her wax finger
and thumb by means of a sliding pencil
arrangement, with small weight which,
when the crayon is applied to the paper,
maintains uniform pressure sufficient
for distinct marking. Thus prepared,
"Zoe" is ready for work. In some mys-
terious manner she initiates the motions
of an artists arm with facility, holds her
crayon in professional form, strikes a
true line across her easel in a mastery
manner, promptly carries her hand from
one point Of the drawing-board to an
other, carefully,yet instantaneously, raises
her pencil from the paper and transfers
it to another spot, returns to add touches
and insert omissions, and finally lowers
her arm and hand when the sketch is
completed. She does not execute merely
the particular specimens of writing, fig
uring, and drawing which she might be
instructed and set to do. She executes
anything she has mind to, or, in other
words, she can write any letters or mum
Der called for by the audience, and de-
signs, forms and pictures impromptu, ac-
cording to the ability of the secret opera.

ments. The figure is absolutely detached
and isolated; hence the multifarious and
complicated movements it is capable of
producing borders on the marvellous.

"Broken Links.

Tell me not the chain Is broke"
Golden links Of kindred ties,
While Il ever binds us nearer
To our loved ones in the skies,
For It's like the mystic cable
Slumbcring meath the oceans roar
Hid from sight, yet ever Joining
Closely, strangely, shore to shore
Only shifting, never broken,
Is the chain forever bright;
Links, though darkcned to our vision,
Clean with celestial light,
While from earth we glance along it,
Rupturcd seems the golden line;
Looking from the gates eternal,
Links unsevered softly shine.
Yes, we count them sadly over,
one by one, the links, we say,
How they're breaking ever from us,
How they're passing all away;
Only changing are our loved ones,
Only gone from earth away;
Dwell they not, more dear than ever,
IN our hearts from day to day?
Kindred ties, with links eternal,
Wrought and woven at our birth,
Were they only made to bind us
While we linger here on earth?
Tell me not the chain is broken,
For | only look the more,
As my loved ones gather on it,
To the everlasting shore.
Tell me not the chain is broken,
Guided by angelic hand,
For II draws me ever nearer
To the bright, the spirit land.
And turn from life and sorrow,
To my loved ones in the skies,
Looking from up earth to heaven,
Ever up, with longing eyes.
MRS. ELIZABETH o. DANNELLY.
