What magnificent soldier Henry
Ward Beecher makes in Canada, fifteen
years after the Ware Chicago Times.
Morally and socially we have no res
pect for Beeeher, but during the war
he did the work of a man and n patriot.
At the time when Wilbur +. Storey
was %fomenting his sire in the rear''
lat the time when Storey was hand-in-
glove with the Blackburn knights of
treason-at the time when Storey made
his newspaper building an arsenal of
rebel arms and munitions-at the time
when Storey was wildly applauding the
declaration of the democratic platform
of '64 that the war was n failure-at tho
time when Gen. Burnside, with the
approval Of the loyalty of the heart of
the northwest, was putting the seces-
sion Times under military supervision
at the time when Storey was helping
the rebel outbreak at Camp Douglas,
and Chicago seethed on the burning
crust of a confederate volcano-at that
time this Beecher was in England, do
ing the work ola magnificent soldier''
for the union, as the Times says he is
doing the work of a loyal soldier in
Canada now.-[Omaha Republican.

AN interesting experiment in the line
of land reclamation is being tried in
Louisiana. A company was organized
to recover from tidal overfiows a large
tract of swamp and marsh land in the
parish of Terrebonne and devote 1t to
the cultivation Of rice. The work Of
dredging and leveeing has been carried
so far that an experimental field of sew
enty-five acres Of rice is already in culi
~tivation, and everything indicates that
the enterprise will prove entirely sue
cessful. The soil becomes frm and
solid when well drained, and can be
drained at a small cost compared with
the returns from the crops. AS these
crops are benefited by being flooded
from April to August, the land, when
well ditched and leveed, would only
need to be drained twice q year, for the
spring planting and the fall harvesting
the water being then again let in dur
ing the winter months for the benefit of
the soil. AS there are countless thous-
ands of acres of land of this sort in
Louisiana, the success of the expert
ment opens the way for a large extern
sion of the states agricultural inter-
ests.

Death Of Montana Miners.

A grim story of the winter has Just
come through the Muscular, of Fort
Missoula from the wild lands of Mon
tana. Four men, known in Missoula
as Jack, JEFF, William and Miller, all
old Californians, and apparently life
long chums, for several winters past
shut themselves behind the Cnpr de
Alene range of mountains for mining,
on the Sandwich Island, in Moose creek.
In the spring they would visit MIS-
soula, but having purchased large
quantities of tobacco, coffeeand articles,
retire with October to the hills. This
spring their non-appearance at the fort
was commented upon, and q party
decided to go back for them. Two of
them were found in the cabin-one ly-
ing dead on the floor and the other
dashed to a chair, dead. The graves of
Jack and Miller were found a few PAGES
from the door. The cause Of their
death is unknown. Some think it a
case of salmon-poisoning, and Others
that the winter was too rigorous for
flesh and blood to stand.

THE SUFFERING ENGLISH.

The position of the English in South
Africa is indeed pitiful, as the poor
soldiers have suffered many extreme
%privations and are destined to suffer
still more. From the letters of the cor
respondents in Zululand, published in
late English papers, we learn Of the
situation Of affairs on the first Of May.
We are told by one correspondent
that the Zulu war Is rapidly assuming
the dimensions of the Crimean war, and
is, indeed, in some particulars, out
growing them. A mere statement Of
fact shows that this is no rhetorical
flourish. The English army which Ia
drawn up on the Zulu frontier reaches
the astounding total of thirty thousand
men, of whom about one-half are re-
gular troops, the remainder being made
up Of colonial volunteers, armed ma
tives under white officers, etc. The
costliness Of this army is ~stupendous.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-06-08

South Africa has appeared AID IS sweep
ing away the horses OF the cavalry. By
the loss of the Clyde an enormous
quantity Of valuable stores, including
5000, 900 rounds of ammunition, went
to the bottom. The ~colonists regard
the war as a splendid opportunity of
making money out of the government
fighting to defend them. Each colonial
volunteer is paid Eve shillings a DIV,
and everything found. The owner of cat
tie teams insist on terms and Conditions
of the most exacting character. Fam
inc prices are charged for everything,
and Natal is naturally delighted at a
wal out of which so good a thing is be-
ing made. Notwithstanding the vast
prices paid the English are paralyzed by
want Of transport. Col. Crealock can
not move forward without eight hun
dred oxen more, and the commissariat
confesses that they see not the slightest
possibility of being able to fulfill the
generals requisition.
The column led by the gallant Col.
Wood is in q still worse plight. His
drivers refuse to cross the frontier and
are rapidly deserving. The health of
the troops Is very bad. The latest ac-
counts are that on the few days before
mails started four officers, one of them
a son of Lcrd Cough, died. Very many
officers are i'll, including Col. Wood,
Col. Pearson, and Prince Louis Ma
poleon, who is very seriously indisposed.
In the force of two thousand men
stationed at Gingihloyo there are two
hundred sick. The sick there lack hos
pital comforts and the medical staff Is
entir ely insufficient in number. The
Zulus appear to be full of fight and are
massing to oppose the invasion. Other
native tribes are giving great trouble.
Moriosi still holds out, and his Basutos
beat back the last English attack, in
dicating d loss OF two officers and
twenty men.
On the northern border another band
of natives, after giving much trouble,
were dispersed and their leader taken.
lie turned out to be ''as Englishman"
named Mccarthy, and the incident is
curious, as showing that now. as of old,
wherever England is in trouble some
10" or "Mac" turns up on the other
side to represent the death feud of
seven centuries. The picture is COM
pleted when we say that all accounts
concur in showing that when in the
first week of June Lord Chelmsford
crosses the frontier he will leave one
hundred and thirty miles of Natal open
to a Zulu raid, and he will find a land
in which the Zulus will have burned
down every blade of grass, thus not
leaving m ounce of forage for his great
train Of horses and men.

IT WILL be remembered by our read
ers that during last winter, the state
legislature of Tennessee passed an act
abolishing the city Of Memphis. An
appeal was thereupon taken to the su-
preme court by bondholders, and that
body has rendered a decision affirming
the validity of the act and holding that
the incorporation Of the people and
territory of that defunct municipality
as a taking district" is also valid.
This matter has been on trial before
the United States court of the district
of Tennessee. and that court has ruled
that the act repeating the city charter
Is null and void. 1t is probable that
the CASE will go to the supreme court
OF the United States, and in that case a
definite decision upon the question con-
corning the power Of United States
courts to levy and collect taxes may be
reached. This would interest an i'm
mense number of municipal bondhold-
ers as well rs many municipal corpora
tlons whose people have voted them
into debt. If it is found that the fed
eral courts, while holding that such
debts must be paid, have no power to
compel payment, the Memphis plan of
settlement may become popular. If
such a result should be reached, how
ever, municipalities would find in the
future some trouble in securing loans

The new combination method of oper-
ating in stocks which Messrs. Lawrence

ed, is attracting unusual attention In
financial circles, by reason of its re-
markable success. A customer in Pro-
violence, invested nine times and made
over $1,000 in three months, by using
from $50 to $500 capital. By this sy-
stem, orders from thousands of GUS
toners, in various sums, are pooled in
to n immense capital, and operated
as a mighty whole, thus giving to each
shareholder all the advantages Of vast
capital and shrewdest skill. Profits are
divided every 30 days. Any amount
from $40 to $4,000 can be used in
Messrs. Lawrence & Co.'s combin-
ations with equal proportionate success
S15 will make S75 profit in the mouth.

THE Philadelphia Times, an indie
pendent democratic paper, says the fuf-
lowing kind words of Secretary McCra
ry, relative to his translation to the
bench:
Since Secretary McCrary has proved
so capable an administrator Of the af-
fairs Of wal without warlike expert
ences, 1t must be taken for granted he
will make an able judge notwithstand-
ing he has yer sat upon the woolsack.
1t is no unkind comparison to say that
many senators and representatives re-
gard Secretary McCrary as the soundest
lawyer in the cabinet, and that opinion
is largely shared by the members Of the
senate committee on military affairs
without regard to party. No recon-
mendation or request made by him has
ever been disregarded or denied by the
committees Of congress having charge
Of army matters. This is certainly a
very high encomium upon Secretary
McCrary's integrity and capacity as a
cabinet officer.
