slowly and with deliberate emphasis, and
sat down in the midst o. general applause IN
the galleries. Then Lamar arose and with
a cheerful tone thai seemed rather I'M
natural. addressed himself 10 the presiding
officer. Then turning toward his enemy
said the Senator had understood HIM cor

have been supplementary. For that he
begged pardon of the Senate, and looking at
Conkling and shaking his head Of long,
flowing hair, that reminds one OF a lion )

man would deserve and that no brave man
would bear.
SCENES IN TIE CHAMBER.
Lamar dropped into his seat, there was
applause in the galleries and some on the
floors and there the matter ended. Fillbus-
tering and tedious discussions Of poinss OF
order wasted the night, and day-break found
the galleries e Ply, and all but the presiding
officer and halt a dozen Senators asleep IN
the cloak rooms or stretched on chairs and
sofas, while the Sergeant-at-Arms secured
the town for the delinquents.
To-day the Lamar-Conkling affair is the
absorbing topic Of conversation everywhere,
partisans of each of the principals claiming
the right and advantage for their friend.
Democratic Senators uphold Lamar in his
spirited reply, and to them it appears, as it
will to all Southern men, that Conkling can
not claim he has acquitted himself well III
having said You're another" They
think thisuntortunate affair must end here
unless Conkling should see fit to carry it
further. -Richm0nd Stute.

III LITTLE WOMAN.

Don't talk to me of olympus maids.
Divinity tall and fair
OF Cleopatra's imperial form,
Or Juno's stately air.
These mighty DANES, with redouuted names.
May erst have held their sway;
Ills the little woman-bless her heart,
Who rules the world to-day.
With her willful, winsome ways,
Her arttul, artless smiles
Her airy grace, and her fairy face
Her wisdom, wit and wiles,
She mOcks the pride and she sways the strength,
She bends the Will of man,
As only such a despotic elf
A little woman-can.
Though her pathway may lead thro' the darkest W.
She always finds a light;
Though her eyes be daZzled by fortunes RAYS,
She's sure TO see Alright;
Though her wisdom be Of no special school,
Her logic-.just because
The first has settled a Kingdoms fate,
Ine last has made its laws.
lis the little woman that goes ahead
When men would lag behind.
The little woman who sees her chance.
And always knows her mind
Who can slyly smile as she takes the oath
To honor. love, obey,
And mentally adds the saving clause.
"In a little wonan's way
Would the diamond seem such a perfect gem
If it measured one foot round?
Would the roseleaf yield such a sweet perfume
Ii it covered yards of ground?
Would the dew-drops seem so clear and pure
II dew like rain should fall?
Or the little woman be half so great
If she were six fec tallo
IT'S the hand as soft as the nesting bird
That grips the grip of steel;
'Tis the voice as low as the summer wind
That rules without appeal,
And the warrior, scholar-the saint and SAGE.
May fight and plan and pray,
The world will wag till the eud OF time
In the little woman's way.

DANGER OF TOILET PowDER.-A New
York lady says: 1t will, no doubt, be of
great interest to many ladies to know that
magnes;a Tan article used bymany as a toilet
powder in the firm belief that it is harmiess)
is pronounced by chemists to be very inju-
rious to the skin. Used for any length of
time it dries the cuticle and causes the face
to become trough" and "scaly.' For
the benefit of those who have been induced
to use magnesia, | append the following sim
pie but ethcacious remedy: lone ounce
glycerine, one-half ounce cologne spirits, SIX
and one-half ounces orange-tiower water:
appl to the face morning and night As
many OF the preparations in the market
contain magncsia, as well as other Injurious
ingredients, ladies would do well to apply the
following simple but convincing test before
using: Toe teaspoonful Of the suspected
powder add the juice Of a lemon, mix
slightly, and If efervescence ensues the
powder is dangerous, and its use should be
avoided, as it will ultimately %iniure the skin
and destroy the beauty Of the complexion.

NORTH PARK.
Ute Indians Prosecuting the Prospec-
tors-News from the Chey-
enne Party.

The LEADER mentioned the fact yes
terday that a band Of Ute Indians had
gotten away from their agency on the
White river, Colorado, and were slaugh-
tering antelope and other game just for
the devilment of the thing. The
LEADER is in receipt of news from
several sources which confirms that
statement and indicates trouble for the
prospectors in North Park. A Mr..
Davis arrived in Cheyenne yesterday
from the mines, and he says the Utes
are gathering in large numbers in the
vicinity of the camp and threatening
damage. They also intercept incomers
and have already driven back a num-
Der OF parties. Mr.. Davis says that
when coming back to Cheyenne he met
the party headed by Justice T. M.
Fisher, which left here last week, about
seven miles this side of the camp.
They had joined an enigrant train of
twelve wagons, and this made a good
force to operate against the reds in
case of necessity, so they went on re-
gardless of warnings,

Father Jerome da Costa, abbot OF
Castanhiero, in the Portuguese village
of Sediellos, is what would be called in
this country a bit Of a sensationalist.
1t is his custom, on the last Sunday in
lent. to give his people a ''reyival SER
mon," accompanied with some inge-
NOUS expedient for attracting atten!
ton and awakening interest. This
year he oyerdid the business. He had
contriyed eccentric wooden balls to roll
down the aisies and on the ceiling con.
cealed perforated water pipes about the
church, and behind the high altar laid
up a stock of powder, resin and sui
phur. At the end of his sermon, when
he had worked himself and his hearers
up to almost frenzied excitement, he
shrieked: "And now the world endsl''
on which signal the apparatus designed
to terrify the assembly was set to work.
The thunder rumbled, the mimic rain
drenched the faithful, the resin, powder
and sulphur flashed and smoked, filling
the church with smoke. A panic seized
the congregation, who rushed pell-mell
to the doors, believing themselves lost.
Fortunately there was no loss of life OF
breakage of bones.-lN. Y. Express.

Cheese The Code.

Mr.. Lamar's friends make u very
convenient argument in his behalf.
First, they say that he had sufficie lent
p%rovocation for denouncing Senator
Oonkling as a liar in the senate cham
Der. Next, they declare that, in the
meaning of the code, Lamar was ag-
gressor, and a challenge must come
from Conkling if from anybody. There
is only n flaw in this argument: 1t
takes for granted, what we absolutely
deny, that northern men are or can be
bound by the preposterous, unwritten
law that the southern people call a code
which for years has been nothing but a
subterfuge which towards have used to
escape the consequence of their own
acts.-[Chicago Tribune.

PEAK
A Reliable Citizen Finds Rich Depos-
it's of Silver at that Place.

1t will be remembered that Mr.. Geo.
G. Masten left this city about two
weeks ago for a prospecting tour at the
Laramie Peak. After prospecting a
few days and laboriRg under many dis
advantages, he made what he consid-
ers q very rich discovery of silver ore.
He then retraced his steps to this city,
arriving here Wednesday night. He
thought with him some very rich speci-
mems of ore, which the best judges es-
innate will assay at least two thousand
ounces of silver to the ton. That the
specimens are very rich there is no
question, but their exact value cannot
Of course be accurately determined
upon until they aIe assayed. MI. Mas
ten says that he is fully convinced that
there are as rich silver mines at Lara
mic Peak rs have ever been discovered,
and that all there is wanting to fully
establish this point Is o little prospect
ing. Furthermore, he says the general
appearance of the surface of the rock
exhibits every evidence of its hidden
wealth, and such as practical miners
would regard as infallible proof of rich
silver deposits, conforming in point OF
color and quality of rock to that usu-
ally found in the best mining districts.
Mr.. Masten is very jubilant over his
discovery, and proposes to return to the
Peak az soon as he can secure an assay
Of the specimens. In the mean time
our citizens will watch the result with
much interest.

a Mfiserable MAN.

This was a sad, sad affair that hap
pened recently. A young man on
learning that a young lady whom he
adored, but whose love for him was moi
very warm, was about to sail fol
Europe. engaged passage on the same
vessel, so that he might bask in heI
smiles during the voyage. But he did
not bask much. The second day Out
he was seized with an internal commo-
tion-a wrenching and a wretched feel
ing that threatened to turn him inside
out. Until he reached Liverpool. be
was the most miserable man in the
world. The young lady made her ap
pearancs regularly at meals, with al
appetite as savage as a Sitting Bull In
dian, and flirting like all creation witt
a young Englishman who wore side
board collars and a Scotch cap. Wher
the wretched young man learned thi:
he had a serious relapse, and wished hi
was at home. Some old scientists say
the ocean will be dried up a few mill
ion years hence, and the blighted youni
man has concluded to patiently wait
until that period arrives, and then re
turn home overland.

CAPTURED BY CUPID.
Nuptials OF DR.. Chas. P. Miller and
Miss Lila Minnick-An Eve
ming of Unaiioyed Pleasure.

Last evening at eight O'Clock Hymen
bound with the silken cord of matri-
mony the hearts of DR.. G. P. Miller, of
Collins, Colorado, and Miss Lillia
Minnick in the parlor of the residence
Of DIR. E. B. Graham on Sixteenth
street, which was beautifully decorat-
with flowers for the occasion. The
fair young bride is from Portage coun-
ty, Ohio, and arrived yesterday on No.
8 train from her eastern home, and was
met here by the happy bridegroom, who
is an adopted son of DR.. Graham. DIR.
Miller resides at Collins, Col, where
he has a very fair practice. The cere-
mony was performed in a quiet but ex-
ceedingly pleasant manner, none being
present except a few intimate friends
of the interested parties. Rev. Gillian
oficiated. The presents were numer-
Gus, elegant and costly. Subsequent to
the ceremony the uaual congratulations
were extended, and an elegant COLA
tion was participated in.
The guests were sitting quietly
dreaming of the rose colored future,
when suddenly a party of about twenty
young ladies and gentlemen, friends Of
Miss Clara Graham walked in, to the
utter establishment of Miss G, as well
as the joyous but difident souls who
had SO recently said s'for better OF
worse. Mrs. Graham treated the as
saulting a~ssemblage, with such excel
lent presence Of mind, that half in
clined n to imagine that she was
particeps criminis to the affair. When
the party had all entered and extended
their congratulations the fun com
menced, and where twenty young
ladies and gentlemen Of Cheyenne are
gathered together, you can rely on it
there is fun in their midst. The pencil
is inadequate to give our readers an idea
of the merry time that followed. Suf-
fee it to say, that, happiness reigned
supreme. The kind host and hostess
became for the time a boy and girl
again, and entered into the enjoyments
with as much spirit and zest as the
youngest and merriest there. Time
flew with lightning like velocity away
into the wee sma' hours, when n OF
the happiest parties that ever assem-.
bled in Cheyenne reluctantly took theiI
leave. Such an enjoyable scene is one
of the breathing moments in the tramp.
ing march of life, a little tender twi.
light in the broad and garish glare Of
noon, that we all love to let memory
dwell upon. The happy pair depart to
day for Collins, their future home, &C
companied by the hearty good wishes
of their many Cheyenne friends.

CHEYENNE 70 NORTH PARK
A Correspondent Speaks of the Route
To the Editor Of The Leader:

To the Editor Of the Leader. Y
In a recent issue of the LEADER you
indicate a route to North Park, which
is almost absolutely correct. To make
your description more plain, perhaps,
allow me to add what would be under
stood best by strangers on this end OF
the line. An improvement in your
plan for a stage line or a freight line
by and by, would be to start from
Cheyenne; thence to Hay & Thomas
ranch; thence along the Colorado Cen
trail railroad to Bristol; thence.to Liver
more, TO the Elk Horn, and to Fisk's
ranch on the main Poudre. From
this point a new toll road is to be built
up the main Poudre, past the lakes, uI
Joe Wright creek to the left of Gamer
on's peak, and direct to the southeast
corner of North Park, where the new
mines are reported to be, on the west
ern slope of the Rabbit Ear range OF
mountains.
In due time, and when the route is
practically opened for business or load
ed teams, the columns Of the LEADER
will be freely used to inform the public
through advertisement, of all that is of
interest relating to the route and the
mines. Respectfully,
RUSSELL FISK,
Postmaster.

Although the election for members
of the Legislature is not far distant,
there is no interest whatever taken in
it. The governor has not yet made the
