PAINT HEART.
sr LUCY LEE rLras,srs.


She stood before him tall and fair
And gracious on that summers day,
With June's first roses in her hair,
And on her cheek the bloom of Nav.
But rosy cheek and dlmpied chin,
and raven Jashes drouping low,
Conceal the answer he wound win;
II might be YES; would il lie Not
Ali II 'twere No j. his throbbing heart
Stood fairly still with sudden rain;
And II 'tv ere Yes, the world so wide
His deep content could scarce contain.
30 wcndrous fairl how could she stoop
To favor such one as he?
All, sweet suspense that sill leaves hopei
All, pain Of said uncertaintyl
He held her hand 50 white and small,
And moved TO press IL with his lips,
But changed his mind, and let 1t fail,
With childish touch Of inger-tps,
And took the seat che offered him
Upon the sofa BY her eide,
Nor made the space between them less,
Which seemed 50 narrow, yet 30 wide.
Then gazing on the perfect lace,
The dimpled mouth, the serious eyes,
And, drinking in With eager ears
The music Of her low replies,
Helet the bright hours drift away
Nor told the secret Of his heart,
But when the shadows heightened lay,
Rose all reluctant, 10 depart.
And stammered forth, With bIushing cheek,
An eager, timorous request
That she, for old acquaintance cake,
Would grant the rosebud from her breast.
She gave It him, with downcast eyes,
And watched him leave her with sigh,
60 good" she said, " 60 true, so wise;
All, mel II he were not 90 shy!"

Nick Pepper, do you ever expect to
be Of any account in the worldrs
"No use talking, Sarah. Ihave given
up Nick as bad job. l would never
have thought that my brothers son
would turn out so triding."
Nick Pepper only smiled at these re-
marks. He was summing himself on the
deck of the canal boat I" General Burn
side" bound from Buffalo for New York
with load of wheat, and Just then de-
scending the Hudson as one of feet in
tow of steamboat. The first speaker
was his aunt, Sarah Pepper, and the
second was his uncle, Captain +" Pep
per, owner and commander of the
Burnside" Nick may be said to have
composed the crew, and it was the
opfnion of the first and second officers,
above mentioned, that more useless
crew was never shipped.
have lived in hopes" said aunt
Sarah, " that we would be able to make
a man of him; but the older he grows
the less use he is. He does nothing but
ioll around from sunrise to sunset.
Nick stretched himself and smiled
again.
"Auntie," said he, did you ever
know me to lie or to steal P'
No. You are good enough boy,
as far as that goes. You never do
anything at all. What's the use of
beinggoods when you are only good for
nothingf"
Nick raised himself up sufficiently to
rest his head on his elbow.
"Auntie," said he, "jnst look at the
Burnside She tolls not, neither does
she spin, but she gets fresh, coat of
paint every season. She lies in the
basin at Buffalo till the elevators fill
her up with grain then mule bauls
her down the canal; then steamboat
bitches on to her and tows her to New
York; then tug yanks her over to an
elevator that unloads her; and then she
loafs around till somebody takes her up
the river again. She don't do stroke
of what you might call work, and yet
she makes good living for you and
uncle. Why should l be any better
than the Burnside p"
Aunt Sarah was sharp enough to see
the fallacy of this argument, but hardly
sharp enough to expose it.
What do you mean?n she asked,
"by comparing yourself to canal-boat7

"As if anybody would ever give YOU
secret 10 keep"
The General Burnside" reached New
York safely, was left in the basin on the
Jersey side to await unloading. Nick
Pepper put on his coat and prepared to
go ashore.
Where are you going?" asked Aunt
Sarah.
"out in town to do an errand for a
man"
II pity the errsnd that anybody get,
you to do?n
Nick went ashore, whistling.

The Beauties of English.

doughty deeds in war; though he fought
for his country he was thorough dough.
faced ploughman. His horse having
been houghed in an engagement with the
enemy, Hugh was taken prisoner, and I
ought to add was Kept on short enough
clough of food, and suffered from
drought as we'll as from hunger. Having
on his return home drunk too large a
draught of usquebaugh, he bec-me in
toxicated and was laughing, coughing
and hiccoughing by a trough, against
which he, sought to steady himself.
There he was aceosted by another rough,
who showed him cough which he had
caught on clough near, also the slough
of snake which he held at the end of a
tough bough of evgh tree, and which
his shaggy slough had found and brought
to him from the entrance to a slough

that was close to slough in the neighbor-
hood.-Albany argus.

his lecture with a spectroscope, and
show his class the sublimity of the

closed, and laid an embargo on the sky

you get the books and papers out of the
old safe they should be arrested, and I
hope to be with you soon enough to
furnish other proofs.
Yours very truly,
"THos. F. BEEDIx."
HQueer, isn't itT remarked Jacob
Messner, when he had read this letter
aloud to the lawyer.
"Very queer" replied Mr.. White.
"Do you suppose that the letter was
read by those parties before it reached
your"
That is what Mr.. Bendix seems to
have calculated on. There was delay
of several hours before the letter was
put in my hands, and 1 judged by the
post-maik that the delay was at this
end of the route. Therefore suppose
that they read it."
"And they have decamped?"
"They are still at work, as if they had
no suspicion of any trouble"
Then it is my opinion" said the
lawyer, (" that they rely upon intercept
ing the 10y and getting possession of
the combination, SO that they can de-

Mr.. Bendix relies for proof. Do they

and myself-and the boy. of course"
"There would seem to be no danger,

"Ihave tried 70 provide against that, y
said Jacob Messner. "I have employed
private detective, who is to watch the
canal-boats, to see the boy as he arrives,
and to bring him to me. If they should
make any attempt to scare or corrupt
him, they will be pounced upon and
arrested at once"
There was knock at the door, and a
man entered who hurriedly whispered
to Mr.. Messner. That gentleman
jumped up and put on his hat.
"Come, Mr.. White" he said. "It
seems they have been sharper than we
were, and have got ahead of Us. Come ;

Speeches by Minister White and Senate

Speeches by Minister White and Senator
Blame.
New York, May 13.-The eleventh
annual banquet of the New York
chamber of commerce took place at Del
monico's tonight, and was like all pre-
ceding celebrations of this great COM
mercial body, notable for representa-
tive men who were present. Notable
speeches of the evening were those of
Andrew d. White and senator Blaine,
of Maine. The presence of the latter
was not expected up to the last mo-
ment. In course of his remarks in re-
sponse to toast, commerce and di-
pIomacy. White referred to passage
of recent constitutional amendments
in California, and said that while there
were doubtless some clauses in amend
ments which were based on sound
principles, the act, as whole, was sub
versive of sound government, and dis
graceful to the community which passed
it. In regard to the United States and
Germany he thought sound industry
and commsn sense of the German peo-
pie, and intelligence and good will of
the Americans, should tend to build up
a new era of prosperity for both coun-
tries.
Senator Blaine was received with the

PIeuro-P Pneumonia.

Washington, May 13.-The treasury
department has received the report of
the principal and professor Of veteri-
nary medicine, Williams, of the new
veterinary college, Edinburg, of the
examination of certain portions of the
lungs removed from six American
cattle, slaughtered at Liverpool, on
which it was reported the veterinary
officers of the priyy council had given
the opinion that said lungs presented
the characteristic signs of pleuro-
pneumonia contagion. The professor
says, after much careful examination,
than in his opinion in none of them
were there any signs of contagious
pluero, but all presented evidence
of capillary bronchitis and col
lapses of certain lobules of the lungs
of recent origin. In none of the
lungs were there any traces Of pneu-
monia nor of pleuritis. He is of the
opinion that the disease originated
during transit. His opinion is
strengthened by the testimony of his
co-laborers.

utmost enthusiasm. In responding to
toast, "steam mail lines" he made
comparison of progress of the principal
nations of Europe for twenty years,
compared with what the United States
has now to show for the same period.
This mighty increase of commerce from
over four millions of tonnage, to eleven
millions of tonnage, has been at the ex-
pense of the United States for foreign
commerce of this country. What has
the government of the United States
done? Left it to the alien and the
stranger. One hundred and ten mill
ion Of dollars in gold coin has gone out
of this country in year. If the carry
ing on of trade of this country were
regulated, this immense sum
would be turned towards benefitting
the paupers of this country.

Money Matters.

Washington, May 13.-The senate
committee on finance to-day considered
the house bill concerning subsidiary
coins, and authorized Bayard to report
1t back to the senate, with recommen-
dation for its passage, with two amend
ments. One fixes the amount for which
subsidiary silver coins shall hereafter
be legal tender, lin payment of all dues,
public and private az ten dollars in
stead of twenty, as proposed by the
house of representatives; or five dollars
as provided by the existing law. The
other amendment makes provision OF
fourth section of the bill, applicable
only to silver coins Of face value.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-05-14

for the violation of the state statutes,
prohibiting white and colored citizens
from intermarrying, was before the U.
5. circuit court to-day; Judge Hughes
presiding. Upon petition writ of ha-
beas corpus the chief ground alleged in
the petition is that the act of the. .legisla-
ture of the state of Virginia, making
it penal offence for white and colored
citizens to intermarry is contrary to the
constitution of the United States, and
void. That marriage having been
celebrated in the District of Columbia
ard valid there, must be held to be
valid throughout the United States.
Decision reserved.

To Establish Specie Values.

Washington, May 13.-The senate
finance committee has authorized Bay
ard to propose an amendment to pend
ing legislative executive and judicial:ap-
preparation bill, that $4,000 be appro-
priated "for diplomatic and consular
service, to be expended in discretion of
the presi dent.n The purpose Of this
appropriation is for establishing, if pos
sible, through diplomatic agencies. a
common international ratio of value
between gold and silver coinages.

Everything Reported Lovely.

London, May 13.-A gentleman jdst
from Russia says the effects of the policy
of repression is hardly noticeably in St.
Petersburg. He traversed large part
of the city late at night without inter-
ference or question. Sunday, 4th inst,
being bright day, the streets were
thronged with promenaders, happy and
light-hearted, apparently, as those in
any other continental city. lie saw
Princess Dagmar driving through the
streets alone in her carriage, and unat-
tended.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

| N.
Washington, May .-Consideratior
was resumed of legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bills. Bootl
opposed the amendment striking out
the clause for the payment of arrears
OF pensions out of the ten million kept
in the treasury for the redemption OF
currency. He saw no reason why the
money should not thus be spent.
Bayard supported the amendment.
Beck favored raying out the money
rather than issuing bonds, as Secretary
Sherman suggested, that the money is
lying idle, while bonds would increase
the public debt.
Plumb said whenever expenses ex-
ceed the income he favored the increas-
ing of taxes instead of increasing the
public debt. He favored paying out
the money.
Davis (W. Va. said this was merely
a question of whether the country shall
take a backward financial step. He
wanted the redemption fund left un-
touched, but would pay the arrears of
pensions with the twenty-three millions
of silver now in the treasury.
Voorhees, said he would take thou
sand steps backward if he could restore
the interests of the people. He wanted
to use the currency fund.
Allison said the arrears of pensions
must be paid like any other obligation,
and he opposed diverting the currency
fund to that purpose. There were,
however, ample funds in the treasury.
Edmunds said he would vote to strike
out the clause as being vicious and in
volving financial legislation on an ap-
preparation bill.
By vote of 81 to 25 the senate de-
cided not to strike out the clause.
HoUsE-AFTERNooN SESSION.

Military Interference Bill Defeated
Press Opinions of the Veto
Dull Day in the Sem
ate-Etc., Etc.
Veto Opinions.

Richmond Whig:-Mr. Hayes has
given us another veto. Now let him
prorogue congress. and be done with
il.
Cincinnati Conmercial:-The presi-
dent acts upon sense of duty, and re-
fuses to yield to the impertinent de-
mand of the confedeIates to surrender
his power as executive of the nation,
and commander in chief of the army.
Chicago Times:-It will serve at least
one useful purpose. 1t will clear the
popular understanding from great
deal of the declamatory fog and orator
ical rubbish. into which partisan orators
have continued to invest their already
settled question of military interfer-
ence with elections.
Chicago T1ibune:-American people
will, without hesitation, cordially and
generally approve the presidents reas-
oning and action. No message which
any president has ever delivered has
met with such national approval as
will this brief but most happily express
sed veto of President Hayes.
Chicago Inter -Ocedn:-The president
deserves honor for the stand he has
taken. His message is a sufficient
platform of itself upon which to fight
a campaign, and win it. The north is
''solid'' for the doctrine he enunciates,
and will support him with earnestness,
determination, and enthusiasm.
Philadelphia Inquirer, (Rep:)-The
bill is, in fact, a state rights measure
OF the most dangerous and insidious
character, and also weakens the power
of the national government.
Philadelphia Record, Dem. :)-The
presidents efforts to prove that the bill
last vetoed should be regarded as a
menace against the authority of the
executive to employ the army in en-
forcing compliance with United States
laws, is more specious than sound.
