The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-07-24

The following is a description of a
bullet-proof military car, built for the
Spanish Government in rebellious
Cuban districts: 1.-THE car is 81 feet
long, 8 feet wide, of the usual height,
and is mounted on the Pennsylvania
Railroad standard passenger car-truck.
Its weight is about $4,000 pounds. Its
general appearance affords to the or
binary observer no indication of its
peculiar qualities. 1t is apparently
only an elegant passenger car, adorned
with unusual care and skill, and fur
nished in a very tasteful and elaborate
manner But, despite the careful
avoidance of a martial aspect, it is
practically a steel-clad fort ON wheels,
containing a rifle battery, with en-
brasures. The steel sides, which are
pierced with loop-holes for musketry,
and which take place of windows, have
been SO c%unningly planned by the
painters skill to resemble the decorated
ground glass sometimes used in cars, as
to deceive the unwary at a little
distance"

Ida Greeley Smith has named her
boy Horace Greeley, leaving off the
Smith. Now, here is a good way to
get rid of names that have become so
numerous as to cause Inconvenience.
Let all parents with a name which is
likely to get mixed with other names
give their children something new;
always, however, taking care not TO
burden the poor %innocents with the
names of great persons. Uneupho-
NOUS designation might be got rid of
in this same simple manner.

The French government does not en-.
joy what the Courier DIES Etats Unis,
published in New York, says about
President MacMahon, and forbids its
circulation in France. America alone
lets a newspaper say what it has a mind
to. If it publishes extreme or foolish
things, so much the worse for the pa
per.

A medical professor in Boston has
measured and weighed $4,000 school
children in that city, and the
"Hubbites" are filed with satisfaction
at the report he makes. The children
of American parents are taller and
heavier than those of foreign-born
parents, so an effectual refutation is
obtained of the common SANDER that
the native stock is steadily de%preciating
in Massachusetts,.

Governor Mathews, of West Vir-
ginia, Democrat and clear-grit South
erner though he be, so far forgot the
Estates rights" doctrine of his party
and section, yesterday, as to make an
urgent demand upon the President of
the United States for Federal troops
with which to suppress a riot of the
railroad strikers in one of the cities of
that State. Governor Mathews was
very sure, two or three years ago, when
be was not a Governor, that Governor
William Pitt Kellogg of louisiana did
a very wicked thing when he in like
manner made a requisition upon the
President for troops to suppress a riot
down in New Orleans. Nothing brings
a man up standing so quickly and
knocks the nonsense out of him, as the
sudden development of an immediate
and irresistible necessity, he being its
unfortunate victim.

An intoxicated German got on a
Hudson river train at Undertook to
go to Troy, and the Budget of that
city says: "He threw his satchel
down in a corner of the car, took a
seat, and was soon asleep. On awak-
ening he said he had left his baggage
ut Undertook, and asked the boy EN-
ployed On the train what he should do
to recover it. The latter, who had
seen the German place his satchel in
the corner, replied: you give me
thirty cents and III telegraph to Kin
derhook to have the depot master for
ward it by telegraph to Greenbush. 1t
will reach there before we do" The
German paid the thirty cents and the
boy departed, taking the satchel with
him into another car. On reaching
Greenbush the boy returned with the
bag. "Ah," said the German, 'dot

a passionate feeling beneath IL. The
French people have been 81 long on

Trusty reports from Berlin state that
by Emperor Williams special order, a
note has been sen To ConStantinople
very earnestly urging that the princi-

violated. The note does not exactly
threaten the Turks, but leaves no doubt
of the high indignation felt, and that
the German Government does not in
tend silently and indifferently to look
On.

her hands. She proposes to show up
the iniquities Of Mormonism, and is
said to have touched up her narration
In colors almost too vivid for belief.
While Brigham was alive she made a
mint of money lecturing and writing
about him, and the death Of the pro-
phet appears to have added new fuel
70 the flame Of her hate. She again
bounds into the ring with ten-fold
more vim than she heretofore exhib-
tied. The lady jingles the coin in her
pockets and darts about with IN air OF
independence sweet to contemplate.
Had she married . decent man and
been his town little ducky" she
would yet have been chasing a soiled
shirt up and down . dashboard and
singing: "There's NO place like

Senator John p. Jones has our
thanks for . dray load Of public docu.
sneuts received under his frank yester.
day. Usually documents from Wash
ington are of little practical value to a
newspaper Office. This consignment,
however, seems to have been selected
with more care. Among the great
number we find some very desirable
bucks. The volume containing the
full proceedings Of the Electoral Com
mission IL valuable for future refer
euce. 1t tells all about how to win
your fight and count in your man
after you have been overwhelmingly
.'horsed" ut the polls. W. shall
cling to this book because it Is . rare
production; its like was never seen
before and may never be seer again.
The Army Register" 10 also another
work that il oftentimes useful TO the
editor in tracing up the history Of de-
parted heroes. In addition to these,
the Senator has kindly remembered
us with . handsomely bound set of
the Congressional Record" besides
various committee and department
reports, embracing moro statistical
and governmental information than
we hope to be able to wade
through during the rest Of u
pilgrimage here below. These
books, though usually treated lightly
BY tho newspaper fraternity. have
much nutriment In them, and could
be mads'to yield up matter of deep
c to the public. If . fellow could
only spare the:'time from the daily
treadmill to delve into their bowels
and bring forth their hidden treasures.
They contain able and eloquent
speeches. reports, Investigations, SCI
entihc disquisitions, treating of a
world Of subjects, which cost pro-
found study and reasearch and oceans
Of midnight oil. Only pause and
think of 1t. Here is . bonanza. II one

and develop 1t In all of its dips, angles
and spurs. Why, even a patent Office

gloated over. There Is where you go
for the official record of Americas in
ventive genius. But the troubles, and
trials. and disappointments, and pow
srty. OF this worthy throng are all left
tn conjecture. The more we think
about this business the more we be-
como convinced that we all set too
little store BY pub. docs. We again
thank Senator Jones for ours.
