MISS MATTE NEATHERY.

Kind readers, bear with us while We weep |
and give US your sympathy in our grief, for
one OF the strongest ties of friendship has
b-en broken, and we are drinking the cup oi
sofruw to its bir,erest dregs. One Of the
purest heart. that ever throbbed is forever
still one of the noblest souls that ever ani-
mated hu man form has taken its flight to
the great Unknown. Miss. MATTE NEArnr.
RI of Delhi, among other dear friends, has
fallen = victim TO the dread pestiIence. and as
we write perhaps the spirit Of her dear, sood,
sainted mother is winying 1t. flight 10 the God
who gave it.
Two better women than Mrs. Jane Merritt
and her daughter, Miss Matte Neathery, never
lived. We knew them as intimate friends
and neighbtr., and nuer friends and better
neighbors we never had and we loved them
dearly. Their ears were ever open to the
cry OF distress and their hands ever ready to
perform deeds Of bene Violence and minister 10
the afflicted Mis-. Matte has often been the
frs, and las, at the bedside Of INDECENT suffer
ers. whose last words have been breatlied ou
in blessings upon her Tor her self sscrihc'n;
benevolence. Who knows but tina, they were
sent as q convoy to escort her sorifed spin
across the dark river OF death TO that land oil
eternal light and joys Jesus, we know, wa
there TO receive her into His arms.
= A brilliant intellect illuminated by dis'n'
grace, and q zeal and devotion to the cause o
y Christ that knew no bounds, rendered her tn
mos, efficient member of the Methods, churr
a, Delhi and entitled her to the love, esteem
and gratitude Of the entire dock. Herezafe
virtue, irreproacbabc chastity, character
b. spo,,e.. q. the virgin snow aud native mode

'e Such is a dim and verv imperfec, outline
G. the character of this noble young lady. The
&c can Won wonder that we are overwheine
with sorrow for our great loss, espec'a''
when we remember tina; she loved thetieafe
one 10 ms on earth with an ardor, devotion an
con.,ancy felt alone by one of hef rehne

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-09-15

As THE news Of the insurrection in
Bosnia always came through Austrian
sources, it is than probable that a
a severe straining process retained the
biggest and ugliest facts. just as the
Austrians had the insurgents cooped
up in a corner against the boundary
line of Sefvia, the announcement comes
that Gen. Pnillipovich will retire to
Bred. Brod is on the river Save, in
Austria, and the movement is one of
great retrcgression. The insurgents
viii have, therefore, the prestige of
having driven out Imperial Austria.
How Austrians feel under the circum
stances, after losing 50 much blood and
treasure, can easily be understood. Hts
initiation is the filter word. That the
contagion of enthusiasm will spread
over other Turkish provinces, there is
no doubt, and by next spring the army
Of the insurgents win be doubled.

Those Railroad Lands.

In the case of Tome ct. al. VS.. the
Southern Pacific railroad company, Sec
Rotary Schurz decides that although the
grant Of lands was made to the compa-
ny by an act of July "a. 1866, the lands
upon which it would operate are not
identified until the date of the passage

It's roads upon the line designated upon
map filed in the interior department
january 3, 1867, and that the rights of
all parties who were actual settlers
June %, 1870, were saved. Qualified
settlers, prior to June 2s, 1870, may be
allowed to make entry under the home
stead law, but such entries must date
from the date of application, and the
claimant must comply with the proyis-
ions of the law from such date.
In tie case Of Stainbrook VS.. the AT.

company, It is decided that where the
track in question was covered by a
homestead claim at the date of the
withdrawal for railroad purposes, and
a subsequent entry was permitted I'M

entry is confirmed by the act of April
81, 1876 Compliance with the home

right to select out of the whole tract of
timber lands entered, the particular
part to be cultivated in timber. The
requisites of an affidavit for c~ontinu-
ance, on the grounds of the absence of
witness, are that it shows: First-the
name and residence of witness and the
materiaiity Of his testimony. Second
the exercise of a proper diligence to
procure the attendance of witness.
Third-that witness can be had at the
time TO which it is sought to have the
trial deferred. =

removed, and then place them on the
records in order to advance the inter

THE EASTERN CHESS BOARD.

England has already intimated that
she will not insist upon the porte carry
Ing out the provisions of the Berlin
treaty. But the rest of the signatories
are determined that the Sultan shall
come up to the scratch. Germany was
first to grumble, and now Russia is
sounding Austria with q view to bring
ing an irresistible pressure on Turkey.
Possibly Turkey will refuse, thinking
it has the backing Of England, and this
refusal may account for the warlike
preparations of Bussia. But it is by no
means certain that England will be
drawn into a conflict. True, she has
guaranteed the integrity of territory in
Asiatic Turkey, but II 1t doesn't suit
her to defend against an invader, she
an readily find an excuse in claiming
that Turkey hasn't worked out PROM
ised reforms, and was first, therefore,
to violate the compact. On the other
hand, England is under no obligations
respecting Turkish soil in Europe. She
may therefore consistently look on
while allied armies are absorbing more
real estate. Knowing this, the other
powers may conine their operations
west of the DaFdanelles and seize the
entire territory, and thus forever end
Turkish troubles in Europe. The Sui
tan deposed, England may find it con-
venient to retain Turkey in Asia as
part of her possessions, and as long as
she maintains neutrality, her right OF
possession will not be questioned by
the other powers.

SEVERAL Washington dispatches
confirm the report that on and after
September 16., the treasury department
will pay out silver dollars in exchange
FOR currency, without putting any re-
strictions upon the uses to which the
coin is to be applied. That is, virtually,
resumption. A telegram from the ma
tional capital states that it is regarded
there as more sweeping resumption
than that provided for by the resump-
tion act which will go into effect jan
uary l, 1869, adding: 1.-THE last-named
laws provide for resumption in sums
Of $50 and its multiple at the sub-treas-
uries, whereas the letter of the secre-
tary of the treasury of Saturday makes
no limit to the amount. and prescribes
no particular place, except the sub
treasures, where exchange of silverfor
greenbacks is to be made.n This is
not quite correct. The provision of
the act IN question is for resumption at
one sub-treasury, namely, New York.
This is a very important difference. so
far as concerns the convenience of the
people and the completeness of resump-
ton. The truth is that congress was
afraid to direct a return to specie paw
ments without imposing special safe
guards against a run upon the coin re-
