81. VALENTINES DAY.

This is the day of the month and year
upon which the custom of sending hui
morous, loving, insulting and all other
kinds of missives, illustrated and plain,
to high and low, rich and poor, pre-
walls.
Wheatley says that st. Valentine
twas a man of most admirable
parts, and so famous for his love and
charity, that the custom of choosing
Valentines upon his festival (which is
still practised) took its rise from
thence" Others derived the custom
from birds being supposed to select
their mates on this day.
AS ence practiced, it was the custom
on the v of Feb. IA, st. Valentines
day, to have the names of select num-
Der of one sex put into some vessel by
an equal number of the other; and
t%hereupon every n drew a name,
which for the time being was called
his or her Valentine. The custom of
choosing Valentines existed very early,
and was much practised in the houses
of the gentry in England. There are
frequent references to it in Shakespeare.

An Electric Storm.

In this section there are frequent
periodic storms, termed electric by
telegraph operators. During their prev
alence the telegraph wires are so heavi-
ly charged with the electric fluid that
business is impossible and even the OPP
orators are in personal danger from the
discharges. Coils of wire in the relays
are frequently melted and switch boards
set ON fire, while the blaze of the cleo
tricity can be seen on switchboard and
instruments. At such time the bate
ries have on such occasions been dis
connected, and it was found that the
atmospheric electricity alone was sufi-
cient to operate the instruments. This
display of electricity is usually accom-
panied by a fall of light snow, and it is
now a well established fact that snow
storms are frequently accompanied by
greater displays Of electricity than
thunder storms.

Tho Comma Sioux campaian.

Gen. Geo. Crook, commander of this
department, will arrive here in n few
days TO personally supervise the prepa-
rations for a strong expedition into the
land of the hostile Sioux. We are still
without definite information as to the
formation of the command, or the date
upon which it will start, but, as here
tofore stated, we incline to the belief
that an early start will be made, with
forage for six OIL eight weeks, in order
that the cavalry may reach a good grass
region by the time grass starts, and at
the same time reach a point from which
it will be easy to strike the savages Sc
we're blows before their ponies are in
good condition for hard service. We
still believe that Custer was right when
he said there should be but one more
Indian war, and after that no more In
dians," and we feel certain that if there
is n more Sioux war, after it there
will be no more hostile Sioux.
From the present outlook we judge
that tine coming campaign will be con-
Quoted beyond our boundaries, and that
our remote settlements need have no
fear of Indian raids, although we of
Wyoming should always be prepared
for war.

\ few days ago, as a freight train
was pulling into Pine Bluffs, one of the
brakemen discovered n tramp in II cal
load of mules. The tramp was astride
n Of the animals, and "a asked what
he was doing there. "Driving mules
to Cheyenne" was the laconic response,
as he yelled out whoa to the animal.
In looking into u car loaded with
sheep another tramp was found perfect
ly at home. "Who are your" demand
ed the brakeman, sternly. 1.-The bell
wether of the flock" was the reply,
''leadin' 'em over into the grassy valley
of Grow creek, and we always ride up
on the rail"

THE example set by the government
and citizens of Holland is worthy of
emulation. In Holland a bank has not
failed for forty years, and paper money
has all the time been equal to gold. The
fire insurance companies do not burst
up there, and average rates of premi-
ums are one-half of one per cent, while
the companies pay twelve to sixteen per
cent. at that. There, official thieves
are scarce, and when found out are Sc
verely punished and forever disgraced.
Sharp practice in private business
NEAR public dishonor, and four mil
lions of people are not only able to
make a living on twenty thousand
square miles, but are happy, prosper
Gus and contented, and, most wonder
full of all, and perhaps the grand secret
of all, everybody lives within his in
come,

The Nigh Sidewalk Question.

AT the meeting of the City Council
on the 9Th instant, II resolution sus-
pending the sidewalk ordinance in so
far rs it effects the sidewalk in front of
the McDaniels block, on Eddy street,
was passed. Just before the adjourn
ment of the Council on the 18th this
action vas reconsidered and the city
engineer was instructed to survey and
report upon the high and low sidewalks
throughout the city.
The sidewalks in the business part of
the city are very uneven, and many
argue that the time to correct this evil
is now, while the city is small; that the
proper grade should be established, and
all walks raised or lowered to conform
exactly Herewith. Others argue that
the expense which such action would
entail upon property owners would be
enormous, and that the sidewalks
should be allowed to remain as they
are. We are satisfied that the Council
will do what is right in the matter.

THE DEAD P0NTlFF.

The following from the Philadelphia
Inquirer is but a Just tribute to the il
lustrious dead:
The private life of the deceased Pom
tiff was as pure as that of any of the
patriarchs of Christendom; it was one
continuous round of charitable and
kindly acts; clothed with power to
do his own sweet will, to execute any
bitter revenge, he sought only to relieve
distress, and, emulating the name of
his Master, he vas always ready to for
give his enemies. What Il sublime
spectacle of self-abnegation was that
the other day when he ordered his own
priest TO take the confession of his arch
enemy, Ring Victor Emmanuel, and to
administer to him the last sacraments
of the Church, and with it his own for
%giveness! This was a fitting sequel to
a sainted existence, if we believe sane
LITIGATION possible among men.
