The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-09-27

The people Of the country have long
been in error as regards the spoon
stealing affair of Gen. d. F. Butler, at
New Orleans, during the war. We had
been under the impression that it was
the general himself who spirited them
away, but now we know that he acted
only as public carrier in the matter. A
gentleman of unquestionable veracity
steps forward from the southern part
of this county and explains that he
took the spoons from the table while
the general and himself were at dinner,
and put them in.sthe generals pocket,
and that Butler was not aware of the
fact until they got back to their quar-
tiers. The statement of this fact has
lifted a great burden from the minds of
those who had heretofore believed in
the generals guilt, and If this gentle
man were only in Massachusetts dur
ing the present campaign to give testi-
mony as regards Buffers honesty, he
would undoubtedly confer a favor on
the candidate for governor by setting
him right before the people, and thus
insuring his election. Like. Adam, he
did not enjoy forbidden fruit because
of his wi dishonesty, but by the sin
of some one else, and like his prede-
cessor, will probably be dismissed from
the garden after the coming election.

Cir. Should Have a Trade.

An exchange thinks it should be-
come a part Of every girls education to
learn some trade by which in an emer-
gency she could support herself, and
perhaps others dependent on her, and
thus rum over some of the arts adapted
to her physical capacities: Sewing,
dressmaking and millinery she is sup
posed to know something about. Teach
ing requires long preparation and con-
siderable natural adaptation. Cooking
is an art neglected in this country, and
one which would seem to promise well
to those who should make themselves
experts in it. Telegraphy is easy
learned; so is type-setting, and both
are permanent business, always fur
nishing a large amount of employment.
Painting on China, engraving and
carbing in wood. are all occupations in
which women would be likely to excel,
and in which fair remuneration could
be earned. Bookkeeping, too, is a pro-
fession easily learned, and for prof.
cheney in which there is always a de-
mand.

HONEY i-Why It Is the purest SWEET in the

Ing art, to the satisfaction OF thousands.
Who can say uaght OF white, beautiful honey,

splendid flowers that adorn our gardens and
fields? Horehoundi What mother lives thai
Is not acquainted with Its virtues In banish-
Ing coughs and colds from the family; why IL
Is SO well known that every candy shop
would lose Its custom unless ~horehound
candy occupied a place, and the most promi-
black, and ladies raise their skirt for fear of
getting their clothes soiled; yet It Is the veg
etable production of the -beautiful pine tree
that grows In our southern forests, and by
the aid OF chemistry 1t IL found to contain
medicinal qualities universally admitted by
physicians Of the highest standing. Its pre-
serving qualities are we'll understood by
every shipowner, and when contagion, dis
ease and death infect their vessels. they fu-
migate the polluted ship from stem to stern
with tar. thus removing. the demon of dis
ease and death. insuring the health and life
OF every passenger on board. Honey. Hore-
hound and Tar, combined together, aided by
science and the highest chemical skill, form
a remedy admitted by the most experienced
physicians as the best. most certain and
harmless preparation ever made for the rad
icat and speedy cure of coughs, colds, hoarse-

Environed with Danger.

The dweller or temporary sojourner in a
malarious region OF country is environed
with danger. Besides inhaling at every
breath an atmosphere saturated with IN in
fictitious poison. he also drinks water
which Is in most Instances likewise impreg-
mated with the fever and ague breeding MAS
mata. II bilious subject. deficient In stam-
Ina, or irregular In habit ofbody or digestion.
his peril is much increased, as these abnor-
NAL conditions are extremely favorable to
the contraction OF malarinl disease, But this
danger may be safely encountered with the
assistance of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which completely nulllfies the atmospheric
virus. and neutralizes the constituents OF
miasma-tainted water. This benign antidote
to disease eradicates and prevents fevers OF
an Intermittent and bilious .remittent type,
besides effecting a thorough and permanent
reform Of those enfeebled or irregular con-
ditions of the system which invite not only
malaria, but other diseases equally to be
dreaded. sep23 to 30

Albany County Agriculture.

Our agricultural show is assuming
quite respectable proportions. Among
the exhibitors are Tom Alsop, with fine
specimens Of wheat, oats and barley;
9. H. Bussard, with turnips which
weigh twenty pounds apiece; Noah
Wallace, A. j. House and Howard
Clugston, with most enormous potatoes.
Some of Clugston's potatoes weigh two
pounds apiece, and thew yielded about
900 bushels per acre.
We have the promise Of several more
contributions, and we shall be able to
convince the people of Laramie and the
world at large that we don't need to
send all u money to Utah, Colorado
and Nebraska, for bread, grain and
vegetables in future Sentinel.

What Col. Thornburg Is Doing at Sidney 10
circumvent. Them.

There is little change in the situation
of thugs here, says a Sidney correspon-
dent of an Omaha paper. The citizens
Of OgaIalla have appealed to the mill
tary for protection during the Indian
troubles, and we learn from Nj. R. s.
Stennett, who came up from Sidney ON
yesterdays train, that in answer to
their appeal Col. Thornburg advised
them to keep their cattle men south on
the look out, and at first apprisal of
danger men would be sent for their
protection. The cattle men and herders
in that section of the state are becom-
ing much alarmed, and many wild
are in circulation. The Bosler
Bros. have a report that some of their
men have seen Indians, and have gone
out to investigate the matter. Thorn
burg is sending scouting parties of six
men out on alternate mornings to the
Platte river, % miles south, dressed in
citizens clothes, and parties sent out a
couple of days before they arrive on
alternate nights. There are in all
about fifteen men scouting along 60
miles of the Platte. They will scour
the country in the night time, keeping
hidden from view during the day. Col.
Thornburg states that he now has 800
men, including the garrison. Col.
Thornburg's plan of operations is con-
sidered vigilant and thorough, and it
would seem impossible for the Chey-
ennes, in any case, to get more than a
few hours past his line Of scouts in the
darkest night that ever was known,
while the probabilities are that they
will be discovered before reaching the
line of scouts and that due and timely

The mail from Fort Mckinney was
jumped this afternoon about % miles
north of here, by twelve masked men.
They succeeded in surprising the two
soldiers who were acting as an escort,
getting the drop on them before they
had an opportunity to draw their wea-
pons. The horses and arms of the cav
alrymen were taken and the mail thor
oughly ransacked. Messrs. Tillotson
and Snyder, post traders here and at
Fort Mckinney, were passengers on
the mail wagon, but having been robbed
OF upwards Of three hundred dollars a
few days before, while on their way
from Old Fort Mckinney to the new
post on Clear Fork, the highwaymen
secured very little booty from them.
