''Turn sitter, turn and fallI"
This is the sole incantation,. and the
rhyme is repeated over and over, each
time with q different name, until the
whole roll has been called or the sitter
falls. The negroes have great faith in
this oracle, and have been known to
restore stolen property rather than SUBJ
NIT the question of their guilt to test
which they regard as infallible.
Absence from the assembly will avail
them nothing, for, present or absent,
every name on the plantation is called,
and refusal to attend is regarded as
almost confession of guilt. This or
deal is not resorted to lightly, and the
negroes do not often speak of it to
"white folks, who are rarely allowed
to be present at its exercise, for their
presence is thought to interfere with the
rite.
Years ago, when the writer was q
child on Southern plantation, theft
of some magnitude was committed, and
the slaves on the place resolved to ap-
peal to the sitter. An expert from a
neighboring plantation was sent for,
and the meeting was held at night, as
usual, in the kitchep-an clubhouse, like
most Southern Kitchens, some little dis
lance from the "house." Hearing in
cautious whispers from the house sery-

The late Lord Tweedale was q fine
swordsman, and in the Peninsula. he
had a special saber made for him of
extra length and weight, wherewith he
slashed away in a very heroic fashion.
He was great boxer, too. One day
when he was driving, a gigantic coster-
monger, riding, as is their wont, upon
a barrow behind the most diminufive
donkey possible, stopped the way. On
being called upon to move, he fatty re-
fused, and jeeringly offered to fight for
the road. Lord Tweedale, nothing 10th,
got down, and fought him there and
then, according to science, and in five
minutes reduced him to pitiable state.
The costermonger then gave in, and,
wiping the blood from his face, said,
"Well, I'm blessed If I thought there
was any bedy but Lord Tweedale as
could lick mel" "Ab,n replied his
lordship, who by this time had re-
mounted the box, "I am Lord Tweed
ale" Then, it isn't fair. II you'd
said that at first. I'D have let you pass"

Return Of Col. Stanton.

Col. T. H. Stanton, who left here
some six weeks ago for the Crow Agen-
cy, Montana, his mission being to pay
the Crow scouts who participated in
the Centennial Sioux campaign, re-
turned to this city yesterday. He re-
ports his trip as having been a very
severe one, greatly resembling his tour
through the northern wilds with Crook
in March last. The trip embraced
HOO miles of staging over exceedingly
rough mountain roads, and in very
stormy, cold and disagreeable weather.
The Colonel left the Agency OF the End
of March, reaching Bozeman on the
4th, Virginia City on the 9Th, Ogden
on the 18th, and home yesterday.
While at the Agency he did some mill
tary business, the particulars of which
appear in another column.

A Season Of Enjoyment.

The present season of the legitimate
drama for which we have the Forces
tiers and Manager McDaniels to thank,
has been a genuine eason of enjoyme
for the amusement-loving portion of
our people. A succession of the most
pleasing and popular plays of the day
have been placed upon the stage in the
best style, and each and every member
of the troupe has shown a high order
Of talent, Mrs. n. C. Forester has
become a great favorite with our people,
and all will feel regret when the sea-
son is brought to a close and the troupe
departs.
The rendition of Lord Lytton's great
drama, the Lady of Lyons" last even
ing, cannot be too highly praised.
Tonight will be produced Byron's
drama, "Our Boys" a play which was
placed upon the boards in the Princess
Theatre, London, thirty-two months
ago, and is still being played there on
six nights of each week, with no abate-
ment in popularity. Good seats will be
hard to obtain after 4 p. M, so that all
should secur them early.

SIR Bulver Lytton's play Of the LADY

parts, and the scenery was as complete
in every respect as could be expected in
q western city like Cheyenne. 1t is
a rare treat to have such a corps

to be well p~atronized. Tonight will
be presented Byron's charming comedy,
entitled ''Our Boys" now being played
in London to crowded houses in the

which she excels. The public should

A Now Way to Moi Pay Old Debts.

The town of Baxter Springs, Kansas,
is about to try n novel process of pay
ing or avoiding payments of its corpor-
alton debts. Its people propose to move,
emigrate, and take their houses with
them; to demolish the town, and out of
the debris to build a new town, not far
off, which will not be Baxter Springs.
The town owes $500, 600, and its cred
itors have judgment against it in the
q. S. court. The town being a small
and poor one, it is supposed to be best
TO depopulate and disi~ncorporate it,
than to pay the sum. This movement
will present n novel case for the courts
and the lawyers, but these learned gen.
tleman will, doubtless, he equal to the

Gen. A1nss Wil Insssvtsw Thsa Ear1y n
the spring-Ths Proposed
Campaign.

The brilliant and eminently success
fulcampaigns conducted by Gen. Nelson
A. Miles last winter against the hos
tile Indians under the leadership Of
Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, have con-
WINGED the s'powers that be" that the
most sure and effective method Of dis
posing Of these troublesome characters
and Of bringing the expensive wars
against them to q close, is to carve out
a district comprising all that territory
adjacent to the Yellowstone River and
constituting the haunts and retreats of
the hostile Sioux, and to place It under
the command of General Miles who
has proven by his indomitable energy
and splendid management Of affairs in
that section last fall and winter that
even under the most adverse circum-
stances he could master the situation
and could lay the foundation for an
early termination Of the war by a Wig
orous spring campaign.
Extensive preparations are being
made to place at General Miles COM
mand all the necessary troops and sup
plies as early as possible, so as to enable
him to strike the hostile chiefs before
they a recuperate their ponies and
collect their supplies Of buffalo meat in
the spring. His command will consist
Of about 1900 infantry and sixteen
companies Of cavalry. Their base Of
operations will be the new post at the
mouth of Tongue River, at which point
General Miles is row in cantonment
with his regiment, the Fifth infantry,
and six companies of the Twenty-sec-
ond infantry, and from which he con-
Quoted so successfully his fall and win
ter operations against the hostiles.
General Miles has recently been called
to st. Paul by General Terry for consul
tation in reference to the spring cam
paign and will return to his post in
time to take the field by the LIST of
April. In the meantime mules and
grain and all other supplies necessary
for his campaign are being pushed for
ward to Tongue river as rapidly as the
season will permit. These preparations
all indicate a determination on the part
of the government to prosecute the war
against the hostile Sioux with the great
est vigor, and to bring the expensive
operations against them to as speedy a
termination as possible; and this con
summation cannot be attained too soon
for the qualification Of the whole coun-
try. That Gen. Miles is to have so
important a command is but an act Of
justice to a brave, energetic and skill
full soldier. The hardships endured and
the successes won by him and his brave
men in his three campaigns during the
dead of winter fairly entitle him to the
distinguished confidence that has been
reposed in him by giving him charge
of the spring operations, and his desig-
nation for this command will be re-
ceived by the country as a guarantee
that before many months have elapsed
we will have heard the last of the ruin
GUS and costly Sioux war. The same
energy and ability in the spring as
characterized his operations last win
ter will certainly soon accomplish this
much desired result.

A California .pozer.

His name is Trip, and when he
boarded the Central Pacific emigrant
train at Frisco and set his face toward
the rising sun, he was possessed of
wealth and a determination to run the
train himself. The first conductor he
travelled with didn't punch his ticket;
the next one did, but the ticket con-
tanned very few holes when Mr.. Trip
reached Laramie City last Tuesday.
A lady who CHANGED to occupy a seat
just in front of the b%ull-dozer, was fire.
quently grossly insulted by him, and
finally secured immunity by tanning
him with a seat-arm.
After the emigrant train left Lara
mic the conductor, Charlie Roberts,
interviewed Mr.. Trip on the ticket
question, but the bulf-dozer was
eating lunch and would not be both.
cred. Charlie told him he would
stop the train and put him off, and
went out to give the signal. When he
returned Trip produced his ticket,
saying: "Here's my ticket and if you
want anything else I'll give it to you
from this" and he pulled and cooked o
revolver.
Roberts punched the ticket, and con-
suited Supt. Davis, who was on the
train, the result being that the Cali
fornia bull-dozer was arrested on ar
irving here, kept in the cooler ovei
night, and compelled to pay a fine Of
$50, when he was sent on his way, a
wiser and less demonstrative man.
