Last Sunday evening thirty-six Ma

sembled at q camp fire in the North
Park mining district, and upon motion
John Eames was unanimously elected
to preach a m John proved equal
to the occasion and gave them an
hours eloquent dissertation on NOR
monism. His hearers claim it was an
other ''sermon on the mount"
1t is said that during John Eames'
sermon in the North Park mining re-
gion, on Sunday night last, a demijohn
was passed around. Just think of it,
thirty-six Cheyennltes, with a demijohn
in their midst Strange to relate, how
ever, only one OF that number mois-
tened his palate. Now the question
arises, what was the matter, was there
only enough for one, or, was it Lara
mic City red eye?
On Thursday last, while Ex-Governor
Sprague was walking or the beach near
Narragansett Pier, his attention wal
turned to a sail boat containing two
men, which ran too ear inshore and

turning. One man was caught in the
ropes and was under the boat. Mr..
Sprague, jumping into the water, Buo-
ceeded in righting the boat and res
cuing the man from drowning.
1t is now thought that the public
school will not open on next Monday,
as was anticipated, because the heating
apparatus will not be in its place by that
time, and it would be impossible for the
pupils to study with the din of the
hammering, ETC., incident to the cree
ton Of such a ponderous machine in
their midst. The opening day will be
duly made known through these COL
umns when decided upon.
The fool hath said in his heart, veg
etables cannot be grown in and around
Cheyenne. Such a skeptic should go
and see Nick o'Brien's garden, and he
will have such nonsense knocked out Of
his head higher than Gilderoy's kite.
For there he can see in abundance, and
growing almost loud enough to hear,
cabbages, tomatoes, grape vines, Gu
cumbers, carrots, lettuce, sugar beets,
Usage orange hedge, cereals of almost
all sorts, and a plentiful allowance of
Nick's favorite vegetable !" Irish
peaches"
