1t happened ON Mob Hin, and Mrs.
Archer was the heroine. Her husband
worked at the Consolidated furnace, on
the night shift, and had left his pistol
with her for her protection. About the
midnight hour, Friday last, she heard a
horrid man ON the back porch, and from
the noise she was satisfied that he was try
ing to gain an entrance. SEEING the trusty
s~ix-shooter, she invaded the back room,
glanced through the sash and saw a NOV
ing form outside. Shutting her eyes and
pointing the weapon in that direction, she
blazed away. There was a grunt, a sound
Of crashing glass, and retreating footsteps,
and all was still. Then the lady passed
three hours OF mortal agony, not daring to
leave the premises, and overcome with re-
morse at the thought that she had possibly
slain a human being. The husband carne
home at 8 o'clock, and to him she related
the horrible tale. He proceeded to the
back yard to investigate, and there, sure
enough, he found lying against the fence,
weltering in blood, the remains of a-hog.
Mrs. Archer was perfectly willing to en-
dure the ridicule and laughter entailed by
her midnight exploit in lieu of the load
that had been lifted from her mind by this
ludicrous conclusion to her daring exploit.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-12-17

Dir. BUSCH is as faithful and obse-
quious a biographer as ever Boswell
a Many will be surprised to learn
through the doctor that the iron chan
%cellor, although no ''professingn Chris
tian, is at heart a staunch Lutheran,
and during the war never failed to per-
form his daily devotions. One morn
ing when Busch looked into Bismarck's
room, just after the chief had quilted
it, he noticed on the table, near the bed
a book of scripture texts, issued by the
Moravians, a bible and a prayer book
'for strengthening the faith Of believ-
ers." All three bore marks Of frequent
usage. In social intercourse Bismarck
never hesitated to openly avow his firm
religious belief. He frankly professed
a very staunch faith, and wondered
how without such the people could do
their duty. But for his faith and his
conviction that he was ~discharging his
duty to the Almighty, Bismarck said he
would turn his back upon diplomacy
and the authority of office, or, indeed,
he would never have undertaken them;
for he did not care for honor and dis.
tinction; he was well off and distin-
guished enough to dispense with them.
If he had displayed unusual persever-
ence it was all owing to the sense Of re-
ligious responsibility. a5Di

be outdone, and the fence around the
Smith farm soon blossomed ont red,
pinked with white. Mrs. Jones wasn't
going to have any of the Smith family
putting on airs over her, and their blue
fence was soon trimmed with gold leaf
stripes. Smith trumped over her by
putting a gilt ball on every barb, and
Jones, when last. heard from, was
planting weather-vanes, gilt horses,
peacocks, and lightningrod tips all over
his fence, and swearing he'd beat the
Smith family If he had to put up a GU
palo and a bay-window at every post,
and hang a chrome every two feet
along the line.

Sad Career Of Mrs, Ralsten.

From the Inter Ocean.
The clerk of the probate court of San
Francisco had occasion to examine the
records of the court as to the estate of
MI. Ralston, I and it was found that
although more than three years have
passed since his death, no inventory
has been presented to the court, though
the law provides it. shall be done at
some time during the first term of the
court after letters are granted. This
condition of affairs caused some sur
prise, and it is said that there is no
other estate on the books in such n con-
dition.
Prior to Mr.. R~alston's death he
decided all his property to VIM. Sharon,
so there appeared nothing to probate.
The widow of Mr.. Ralston was amply
provided for by the friends of her hus-
band. This fund amounted to S175,-
600. She speedily squandered over
$4,000 of the amount. The Chronicle
says:
About a year ago the once handsome
widow Of the late William G. Ralston
attracted a considerable share of public
attention and comment by reason OF
statements that she had fallen into the
tolls of certain skillful and adventur.
GUS young and needy gentlemen of the
world, and particularly into those of q
| New Yorker, who abandoned wife and
children for this more profitable affec.
ton.
This unfortunate oma is again
brought prominently before the public,
this time in the role Of a person incapa.
BILE of taking care of the liberal means
provided for her support by the friends
of her deceased husband, an appeal
having been made to the probate court
Of this city to provide a guardian fol
her person and estate.
1t is claimed this is necessary in order
to prevent Mrs. Ralston and her child.
rem from becoming beggars, and becom.
ing a charge upon public or private
charity, and because Of her mental in.
competency to manage her estate, 9
guardian be appointed to take charge
of her estate and person. 1t is a sac
commentary upon life's changes wher
the law is called in to rescue the widow
and children of a millionaire from /;
prospective career in a poor-house.

The way of the average congressman
is hard. No sooner is he indicted into
Office than the great object for which his
constituents elected him is attempted,
viz. the obtaining of appointments.
John NJ. Bailey, who last week took
his seat in the house to fill a vacancy in
a New York district, started upon the
GRAND of seeking positions as soon as
he was sworn in. He had two or three
Of his more clamorous constituents
with him which increased his ardor
somewhat, and he had a number Of
urgent letters from divers others of his
supporters. Mr.. Bailey was either too
new in the business to meet with sue
cess, or too many Ohio men had been
recently elevated, at any rate no ap-
pointments were obtained by him.
Then he sat down and wrote some par
ticularly sharp letters on the subject tc
the parties interested, and the country
may now expect to receive the undivid-
ed attention of this great statesman.

The Boss Reporter Killed by Bears.

The sad news from Paris Of
the death Of w. Benton, the king of
American reporters, who for seven or
eight years past-so NJ. L. Deschaumes
says in LIE Figaro-has been drawing
a fantastic salary from one of the great
American dailies. The lamented w.
Benton scattered abroad the dollars of
his journal with princely muniicence,
was on intimate terms with all the po-
litical and military celebrities of Eu-
rope, spoke eight languages with luen-
cy, and assisted at all the wars of the
old world as a most conscientious
spectator. He had gained admission
to Prince Gortschakoff's presence as a
tailor, to Bismarck's as a dog mer-
chant, to the congress of Berlin as a
photographer; he had gone to royal
banquets disguised as q waiter, and to
royal burials rs coffin bearer; in 1867
he made the acquaintance of Mile.
Schneider in the role of a diamond min
er, while during the Franco russian
war he figured as Il Turco( blacker than
life), a ouaye or a Uhlan, according as
the ~exigencies Of the situation demand
ed. This accomplished journalist was
about three weeks ago, in a great Ger
man city, where the sensation of the
time was a troupe of trained bears.
There were six of them, and they went
through their drills and other perfor-
mances with such startling regularity
that it was very generally suspected
that they were not bears, but men dis
guised in bear skins. w. Benton
thought as much, and offered to wager
with the manager that he would enter
the den, but the manager declined to
sanction his enterprise. w. Benton
thereupon invited all the journalists of
the city to dinner, assured them that
the bears were frauds and invited them
to be present at the afternoon perform
ance next day, when he intended to un-
mask the humbug. Having bribed an
employe Of the menagerie, Benton, dis
guised as a bear, entered the cage. His
five companions seemed furiously ex-
cited, but he attribututed this to their
desire to fend off suspicion. The pub
lie applauded most enthusiastically
1t was then the unhappy being, desir.I
Gus of carrying out his plan, turned
toward the press box, removed his bears
head and bowed politely. A tremen
dous roa Of laughter ensued, followed
by an immense Shrek of terror. The
bears on seeing this human face, pre-
cipitated themselves upon the unfortu-
nate man. Before the tanner could
take steps to ave him, the reporter,
frightfully mutilated, had breathed his
last. Thus persisted the poor w. Ben
ton, whose editor in chief seeks vainly
a man fit to replace him.

Great Authors as Actors.

1t may be added in this connection,
says a correspondent, that a number of
our best authors were addicted to pri-
vate theatricals. One of these was
Byron, who, at the age of 10, appeared
in private theatricals with great suc-
cess. He took the part Penruddock
in the 'sWheel of Fortune" and also
that Of Tristrdm Tickle in the farce of
"Weathercock.' These plays were re-
peated three nights, and his perform
ance was pronounced "%inimitable.,
Irving, while at Dresden, being then
"a, was induced by his friends to en-
gage in a similar performance, in which
the play of ''Three Weeks after Mar
riage'' was presented, his part being
Sir Charles Rocket. Dickens was also
highly gifted with histrionic talent,
and occasionally took part in private
performances, in which he won gener-
al admiration. 1t may be added that
Voltaire was also a proficient in the
same art, and Gibbon, in his autobiog-
raphy, mentions the delightful priv
ilege he enjoyed Of seeing him render
some Of his finest characters. voltaire,
who was then sixty, passed two sum-
mers at Lausanne, where he formed a
small theatre, and a suitable company
was composed out of the ladies and
gentlemen Of the town. In this man.
ner a number Of his tragedies were per-
formed in a highly creditable manner.

THE Saturday Reuieso says that the
causes of dissatisfaction cannot be re-
moved by depressing socialism. The
chief Of these nus is the poverty OF
the masses in large towns, the contrast
Of great riches, the degree of education
which make men think a little and not
much, and a decay in the influence Of
religion. depressing socialism will not
improve the condition of the masses in
Berlin, nor raise the standard of educa-
ton, % bring about a religious reviv-
al. The dissatisfied win no longer be
able to read socialistic journals, but
they will remain dissatisfied. They
will feel their own unhappiness and ask
for its reasons and its remedies.

A CLASS of politicians in Austria
are urging the annexation of Serviaa and
Montenegro to Austria. Probably the
idea is to get the Andrassy ministry in
to stil further trouble. At any rate,
the count himself declares such a poll
cy as eminently absurd and well calcu-
lated to breed interminable quarrels.
Still the fate of empires has long since
decided that Austria will lose her Ger
man provinces and gaining others on
the south will become a Slavic power.
