Uncle Sammy,S RoOsta,

Uncle Sammy's BOOSTERS.
Where are the birds that used to sing
But thirty days ago?
Alasl on disappearing wing
To distant chimes they go.
Where are the birds. the merry birds.
That erstwhie woke the morn.
With headlines crows, in thrilling words.
For Tilden and reform.
All me, the birds whose jocund crow,
Once shook Columbia's shore,
Have tuned their liars SO mutely low,
Well never hear them more.
Where Salt Creeks restless ripples lap
The shores of long ago,
Wen hear their echomg pinioDs flap,
But never hear them crow.

FOREIGN.

A Paris despatch says that notwithstanding
the hopeful dispatches from Constantinople
there is but single chance of peace in the
east Russia in spite of the intense ardor of
her people for war, may be obliged to yield at
the last moment owing to her means of trans
portation being defective. She has been taxing
her resources to the utmost to get her army in
condition to strike with the greatest possible
suddenness and vigor, but it seems now that
her means of transportation are inadequate to
the task OF providing for such large army as
would be necessary to strike decisive blow
against Turkey. So far there is a complete un-
Outstanding between the representatives of
Russia and England at the conference. The
French ambassador is very deslrous that all the
plenipotentlares to the conference should sign
protocol with view to establish the fact of
the unanimity which prevailed at its meetings
upon all the points discussed. Germany, how.
ever, refuses to participate in the proposed neu-
trail occupation of Bulgaria, and will not spend
thaler to secure peace. As it is we'll known
that If Germany really desired peace she would
go to some trouble to prevent war, this is taken
as an indication that Bismarck, for reasons of
his OWE, would prefer war Just now. For
this reason official opinion here is that war can
scarcely be averted, and the prevailing feeling
is one of extreme alarm. 1t is feared that
present indications point to the plenipoten-
tiaries leaving Constantinople without arriyino
at any satisfactory settlement of the difficulty.
The Turks refuse to accept the terms pro-
posed by the conference. England emphati-
cally warns them that they can expect no aid
from her. 1t is thought that Austria is en-
couraging Turkey.

F. NJ. Darling. Of this city, loaded
up a couple of teams for Deadwood
and started north about three weeks
ago. He was accompanied by four men,
reached Deadwood and returned as far
as the mouth Of Red Canon in safety,
camping there for the night. Darling
sat up until about midnight, when he
rolled up in his blanket, but before get
ting to sleep, hearing a suspicious noise
in the direction of the place where his
horses were feeding, raised up, and was
startled to find a nan at his side, pistol
in hand and leveled upon him. The
robber ordered Darling to disgorge
everything of value which he possessed,
and Darling handed over S14 in gold
dust, his watch and chain, rifle, pistol,
etc. The watch vas returned, M
saying that he had stopped with
Darling here in Cheyenne, and had been
well treated. The villains went to the
wagons and took everything in the
shape Of provisions, 81 that Darling
and his party had nothing to eat until
reaching the next ranch.
Darling believes that he brought an
accomplish of the robbers out with him,
as the fellow pretended to be asleep
while the robbery was being done and
left the party at Hat Creek.

Death from Heart Disease.

On Friday lost 4 nan named Jack
Boldt arrived here from Iowa and reg
istered at the Metropolitan hotel. A
room was assigned him and at 0 O'Clock
he retired, having complained of a Sc
we're headache all the evening. He was
en- route to Denver, and desired the
clerk to call him at 4:30 a. m., in order
to take the train. At that hour the
night clerk raped at the door of
Boldt's room, but received no answer.
He looked over the transom, and to his
surprise and horror discovered that
Boldt wa dead. The door was forced
open, AMI an examination of the still
warm corpse disclosed the fact that
life was extinct. A physician was
summoned, and gave it as his opinion
that heart disease caused Boldt's de-
mise. A coroner's jury was empan-
elled, the verdict being that deceased
died from an affection of the heart.
Deceased had a brother, John Boldt,
in Denver, who was telegraphed to,
yesterday, but did not reply. The body
was therefore buried by the county.
Deceased was between 90 and % years
of age.

A Trining Mistake.

In the House of Peers, during the ex-

burgh, touching the particulars of the
Porteous Mob, in 1875, the Duke of
Newscastle having asked the Provost
with what kind of shot the townguard,
commanded by Porteous, had loaded
their muskets, received the unexpected
reply, sou, just sic as I'M shoots dukes
and fools VIII The answer was con
sidered as a contempt of the house of
Lords. and the poor Provost would
have suffered from misconception of his
patois, had not the Duke of Argyle
(who must have been exceedingly anus
ed) explained that the worthy chief
magistrates expression, when rendered
into English meant to describe the shot
used for Ducks and rateTfotrl.

On Wednesday night of last week
Omaha and adjacent towns were visited
by a fearful hurricane, accompanied
by thunder, lightning and rain. The
steeple of the Congregational church,
Omaha, was blown down, buildings
were unroofed and signs, boxes and
barrels hurled through the streets in all
directions, making it unsafe for people
to venture out. The buildings, fences,
etc., at the fair grounds were demol-
ished, the cavalry stables at the Bar
racks blown down, and an immense
amount of damage done in all parts Of
the city. Monuments and gravestones
in Prospect Hill cemetery were also
toppled over by the wind.
The neighboring towns of Papillion,
Florence, and Ashland also suffered,
the Episcopal church of the latter place
being blown down. 1t vas the severest
storm ever experienced in that section.

Lost and Found.

a gentleman walking along the shore
OF Hastings lost his ring. We think
lie was stretching after a dog in the
water, but at any rate the ring slipped
off, and was not found again. A year
after-it is eve said on the very ami
versaly-the gentleman was again
strolling along the shore when a fisher
man ran after him, and inquiring:
ibid you drop this, sir?" held up to
him bis own ring, lost twelve months
before. A gentleman bought an UNI
brella, and, taking it into his hand,
put down Il sovereign in payment.
Presently the bill having been made
out. was presented; but when the shop
man put his hand forth to take up the
money, it could not be seen. The gen
tleman thought it extraordinary-the
shopman equally certain that it had
not reached his hands. What was to
be done? 1t ended in the gentleman
again paying the amount. Some little
time after the gentleman was
again in the shop, and being there,
took occasion to ask If the
sovereign had ever been seen again.
NO" said the young man; 1--WE ever
found it," Just then then the gentle
man, opening his umbrella to show
what he required altered, (some trifle
or other,) gave it Il shake and out rolled
a sovereign, the very n of course so
long missing. The strangest part of it
is that the umbrella lad been constant
ly used since the day it was bought

Lord Baeon's Cheese.

The following anecdote is interesting,
as bearing upon what we may designate
the personal character of the man of
whom Pope wrote:
''If parts allure thee, think how Bacon shin'd,
The wisest, brightest, meanest ofmankind."
1t will be seen from the anecdote that
this, man who was willing to for6ear
the honors and emoluments, simply ''to
get rid of the BURDEN of office and ''to
lead a private life,n was, while thus
languishing for philosophical seclus-
ion,'' mt that moment disinterestedly en-
gagged in the very unphilosophical act of
robbing the government. The reader,
after making himself acquainted with
the anecdote, will, we think, be apt to
see its bearing.
"When / was Chancellor" once re-
marked Lord Bacon, 81 told Condo
mar, the Spanish Ambassador, that |
would willingly forbear the honor to
get rid of the burthen; that 1 had al
ways a desire to lead a private life.
Gondomar answered that he would tell
Inc a tale: My Lord, nee there was
an old rat that would needs leave the
world; he acquainted the young rats
that he would retire into his hole, and
spend his days in solitude, and COM
manded them to respect his philosop-
hical seclusion. They forbore two or
three days; at last, one, harder than
his fellows, ventured in to see how he
did; he entered and found him setting
in the midst of a rich Parmesan
cheese.
