T Letter from Lady in Wyoming Territory il

Your letter of the 2Sth ult.. asking m,
opinion Of the practical results of Woman
Suffrage in Wyoming. is received. Iconlt
have wished yon had selected some able
source of information

, a~o. from Missouri. and brought with me
both from nature and education. f',llv the
: usual amount of conservatism. AMI re
gaisled with peculiar suspicion the idea o
woman entering the political arena. My
observations have materially modified my
views upon this subject will not tres
pass nron your time by any elaborate his
tory of wOnan suffrage in Wyoming. but
give yon Il brief summary of facts and re-
suits rs they have come under my own OBJ
servatiOn.
The women of Wyoming. and particl,-
larly the better class. as highly prize and
as generally exercise the right of suffrage
rs do the men. Woman. from her very
dep' ndence. and comparative weakness
and helplessness. feels more strongly than
man does, her need Of the protection of
good laws faithfully executed. and in her
own interest and that of those she loves.
she naturally puts her vote where it will
do II ost good for the accomplishment of
this end.
| The elections here are conducted as Gui-
city and drcoro;sly rs any other public
gathering. and | have finally concluded
that II the sexes can associate together
with impunity in the home. the school. the
church. the social gathering. and in every
relation OF lite from the cradle to the grave,
woman need not he seriously demor;lized
by her momentary association with her
husband. father. lover. and brother, once a
year at the polls.
1t is true. women very generally vote as
do their husbands. | know several in
stances. however. where the wife votes
one way and the husband the other. but
have nevc. known or heard of its genera
ting any unpleasantness in their family re-
lations. The pioneers Of the West. what
ever their faults. are not so intolerant as to
abuse their wives because of a difference in
opinion in politics or even in religion. The |
fact that husbands and wives usually vote
alike seems to me no objection. II is only |
placing an additional power and influence
in the Government of the country where it
is mos. needed and will naturally be most
wisely used. The more the home inflI-
ence is felt in the General Government
the better. 1t is not from that source.

CURE FnR RESTLESSNESS.

Young children are sometimes very rest
less. and it is generally owing either to
examining them with heavy supper,
tight night-,lothes. or beirg overheated by
too many blankets; or it may result from
putting them to sleep too early. 1t is
right to offer them drink on going to bed.
but they should never be forced to receive
it. The simpler and lighter the food of
children. the more they will thrive. Never
1--WE them spirits or any drug to make
them sleep. Sometimes giving them
bath just before putting them to bed will
make them sleep soundly.

Just what YOu Might Expect.

About two weeks ago. as the overland
train was passing Cheyenne. the attention
OF the passengers was attracted by the Ia
mentatiOns Of a poor Irish immigrant,
whose berih had been robbed during the
night and every penny of his scanty earn
ings stolen. and whose family would there
fore arrive beggars in strange land. The
charitable passengers at once began a sub
scription whicl, finally amounted TO some
thing over two hundred and fifty dollars.
When the money had been handed to the
sufferer. a pious. plausible looking man
dressed in black and adorned with a white
cravat. drew him aside at one OF the sleep
ing places and said:
My dear man. | am truly sorry for you.
Your ease touches me deeply. am my
self we'll provided with this worlds goods,
however. and so will give you two hun
de anil Afty dollars more. Here is "a five
hundred dollar gold note. give me the two
hundred and fifty dollars you have and
keep the rest. May heaven bless your'
The poor Irishman did as requested,
with many blessings on the generous
stranger. who insisted that his sift should
not be made known. When the passen-
gers reached this side of the bay the pious
looking phianthrOpist was nowhere to be
found. he having evidently gotten of at
OakwOOd for IoisOns Of his own.
The next morning the immigrant 10
paired to bank to get his note changed.
The teller picked up the bill and began
examining it.
'''rhere-there is nothing wrong with
the hill. is there" gasped the poor fellow.
NOW the clever reader has seen all along
Just what was going TO happen. He has
read lots of just such incidents as this. It

pOLITENESS TOWARD CHILDREN.

Many parents who are polite and pol
sled in their manners toward the world
AT large are perfect Doors inside of the
home circle. What wonder if the child
ren are the same? If a man should acci-
dentally brush another in the streets. an
apology would be sure to follow; but
whoever thinks of offering an excuse to
the little people. whose rights are con-
staaily being violated by their careless
elders! II a stranger offers the slightest
service, he is gratefully thanked; but who
ever remembers to thus reward the little
tirrless feet that are travelling all day long
upstairs and down on countless errands
tor somebody: 1t would be policy for
parents to treat their children politely for
the sake OF obtaining more cheerful Obe-
diencc. if for no other reason.

3EARCniNG FOR PAPA.

! A lady in the street met little girl, be-
tween two and three years old. evidently
lost. and crying bitterly. The lady took
the b,by's hand and asked where she was
going.
''Down to find my papa" was the sob
bins reply.
What is your papa's name?'' asked the
lady.
''llis name is papa"
But what is his other name? What
does your mamma call him -
'She calls him papa" persisted the little
creature.
The lady then tried to lead her along,
saying. "lOu had better come with me.
guess you came from this way"
Yes; but don't want to 70 back.
want to find my papa replied the little
girl. crying atresh as if her heart would
break
What do you want OF your papa ?" the
lady asked.
Il want to kiss him.
Just at this moment sister of the
child. who had been searching tor her.
came along and took possession of the lit
tie runaway. From inquiry it appeared
that the little ones papa. whom she was
SO earnestly seeking. had recently died,
and she. tired of waiting for him to come
nome. had gone out to find him.-Cers-

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
TIE STRIKE AT KNOXVILLE.
What the Ancient Tunnelers Of Efu NE
b0Itli Left Above Them.

J. H. Mcmillan, Acting District At
torney, is practical assayer and a
miner of considerable experience. He
returned yesterday from Unionville,
whittier he went to see the strike in
the Lucky Dog mine. He says it is all
that it is represented to be- The ledge
crops out at intervals along the surface
a distance of seven or eight hundred
feet, and carries more or less good ore
the entire distance. In an old tunnel,
William. Woolcock, under whose di-
rection the prospecting is being con-
Quoted, discovered vein Of ore over
three feet thick, which assays from $40
to 500 per ton, and will average at
least 800 per ton in silver. This
strike shows the unreliability of early
mining in this county. The claim was
originally located by Lance Nightingale,
Jim Vance, Frank Ayres, Ell. Com
stock, Frank Cole and other old resi-
dents of Marysville, California, who
came to Humboldt in the Fall of 1861,
and majority of whom are now in
sheir graves. Considerable labor was
expended in running tunnels to develop
the mine As the tunnelers had had
no experience in quartz mining, they
made many mistakes, and in this in
stance run under and within few feet
of body of ore, which promises to
create mining revival in KNOXVILLE.
The Anderson was abandoned for years,
and was recently relocated by Pablo
Laveaga, g. w. Rutherford, William
Woolcock and others, who are now en-
gagged in developing it. We are in
formed that an offer has been made the
owners, by men of means, to build ten
stamp mill to reduce the ore for an in
terest in the mine. There are other
abandoned claims in the vicinity OF
Unionville that will some day enrich
those who have sufficient enterprise
and means to develop them.

A letter from John Healy, who, for
more than two years was Signal Service
Observer at this station. and who made
many friends in Winnemucca, informs
us that he is now in charge of the OBJ
servatory a. Fort Whipple, Virginia.
His business at present, is to teach new
men in the Signal Corps the duties they
are expected to perform when they are
sent to Signal Stations. They are in-
structed in meteorology, telegraphy
and military and inter national signal
ing before they are sent to the observa-
tory. He was given a brief furlough
after he arrived at Washington, and he
enjoyed the time visiting friends and
relatives in the Old Dominion, and Wis.,
iting places of interest in that State
and Maryland.

Played the Same Game.

Some two or three months ago a
young man of pleasing address, repre-
senting himself to be j. M. Rogers, a
son Of F. NJ. Rogers of Elko, came to
Winnemucca. He taught penmanship
here, played billiards and pedro like an
expert, drove gay turnouts, and, III
short, cut quite a swell. At the ex-
piration of the term for which he
taught school, he suddenly departed,
leaving hotel, livery stable, saloon and
printers bills unpaid. Respect for the
gentlemen, whose son he represented
himself to be, and with whom the
writer was acquainted years ago, re-
strained us from warning others to be-
ware of him Now, however, an item
in the Reyeille tells how he bilksI
everybody who trusted him in Austin,
exactly as he did the people here, and
it is quite probable that the young man
is not the person he represents himself
to be.

About the Water Works.

John P. Culver, one of the proprie-
tors of the Water Works is in town and
intends to remain awhile. He says there
is plenty of water at the head of the
Company's hume at present to furnish
every man woman and child in Winnie
mucca, with barrels of the fluid daily,
but during this hot weather it will not
do to let all the pipes in town run from
morning till night and from night till
morning again, as by doing SO, the res
ervoir is drained, and in case of fire
there would not be sufficient pressure
to throw water from the MIGRANTS ON
the flames. He intends, during the
hot weather when water is scarce, to
permit its use for irrigating purposes
only at certain hours in the morning
and evening. The Company contem-
plate building a dam above the Stone
house in Cross's canyon, and make a
reservoir that will hold sufficient water
to supply the town for two months, so
as to prevent the possibility of scarcity
of it in dry seasons.

The Revelle says: Upper Austin
boasts of chicken with three heads
and seven toes. Whether the biped has
seven toes on each foot, or seven toes
in all, our informant failed to state;
but the fact of its possessing three
heads makes it quite curiosity apart
from the toes. The denizens of that
part of the city have also on exhibition
a cat which has voluntarily taken upon
itself the duties of foster mother to
thirteen orphan puppies. We may
well ask, "When will wonders cease?"
