Lis. Of Those Left Over From Leap Yeaf.

List Of Those Left Over From Leap Year.
John II. will receive matrimonial
propositions on commission, but it is
doubtful if he can be coaxed to surren-
der the heaven-born right of every
single man to 'sbetyourbootswewon'tgo
notwithstanding" Barring a soothing
syrup serenade or the night watch Of
the newly made benedict, as he careful
ly and quietly PAGES the floor trying to
quell the screams of the youngest, there
is nothing a young bachelor SO prizes as
the right to unlock the door with a
sardine box, or take the key-hole up to
bed with him, Just for the fun of MAX
ing his roommate swear, and crawl in
the window. III
W. G. P. is another s'bright and
shining light" in the ranks of Cheyenne
bachelors, but according to reports he's
ticketed for curtain lectures, broom
stick parades, and p~aregoric ~rehearsals.
Poor fellow; we sympathize with him,
and extend a Blackstonian blessing.
How he can thus tear away from the
law-abiding fellows who have so long
skipped apron-string government, is a
matter of conjecture. Well, may he be
happy, when Mrs. P. shall gently caress
him with the downy surface Of a Hat
iron.
Doug R. enjoys the acquaintance,
probably, of more ladies than any
society man in the city, and it is sup
posed he is heart-whole. He has money,
is good looking, dresses in excellent
taste, but has not thus far expressed
any desire to leave his single happiness
for the state of mutual blessedness or
cussedness. He probably don't knew
which it is.
Louis L., we are sorry to say, escaped
through 1876, and is now as proud of
his freedom as a boy with a new pair Of
boots. But we don't look for it to last
a great while, as he is matrimonially
inclined, and is liable to pass in his
bachelorish checks at any moment.
j. Wesley H., the prosperous and
popular hardware man, has always been
a fair sex favorite, and the wonder is
that he has SO long escaped the tolls Of
matrimony. But then, J. w. sees
things at strange angles, and as he
loves and admires all women, he is
puzzled to make q selection.
Will L. F. is left over to run in the
old track for another four years. He's
a great favorite, and has only to ac-
knowledge willingness to be imme-
diately gobbled up by some of the
feminines, as there is always a market
for qualities like his.
Charlie A, the young banker, it Is
said, came near being lost to his bach
elor friends, but by a cool nerve man
aged to get through into 1877 heart
whole, and he now calmly smokes
Meyers best Havanas and enjoys his
slippers and port as well as ever.
G. W. jr., the Chesterfield of the city,
is the %iolliest of jolly fellows, and would
make a brevet old maid a tip top hus-
band. He has excellent business quail
ifications, but the girls will have to
wait for him four years now.
H. Wood F., for style and makeup
is considered o. K. By profession,
gentleman, he is well adapted for some
rich young damsel to lay out money on,
and will stake in" a proposal. if ten
dered soon.
Moritz NJ. also got into 1877 in single
blessedness, but he will doubtless be
looking up some fair damsel to board
with him before many moons have
skipped into the dim past, as he is
pining for a mother-in-law.
Ed. W. is one of our rising young
business men. Rumor says he is we'll
''ixed," and that he is of that peculiarly
happy temperament to make a home
happy. But he was permitted to slip
through 1876 by the bashfulness of Lar
amie's bellies.
Judge G. is as susceptible Of the at
tentions of the fair sex as ever, and
will doubtless close out his bachelor
hoodish days before the SHOWS Of
another winter shall have come and
gone, which is as it should be.
Harry A., the clothing man, is one
of the boys in the bachelor fraternity,
has a good bank account, is fond of the
opposite sex, and would make a good
benedict, if allowed to have his own
way.
c. F. NJ. has a good figure, and if he
had been caught by a leap-year damsel
would have loved her to distraction.
He would make a good head of a
family.
Charlie T., though an expert tinkerer
of watches, is not so successful in tink-
ering at matrimony. At least he is
still a single man, though he'd like to
be married lust once for luck"
AL T r. still retains the hOnOrS OF
