Efl0y Cheyenne Lauder:
After sending you q Few words b.
telegraph, giving the present aspect Of
things here, I concluded 70 write you
at length relative 10 our trip to this
place, and tn emining excitement ut or
near Raxhide Buttes.
Your readers will remember that In
the early part Of last week specimens
Of ore were brought TO Cheyenne by
Fred Schwartz and MeHenry, who
had been prospecting for Heck Reel,
The latter gentleman took some Of the
specimens TO Denver to be assayed,
and returned. reporting hne assays.
averaging from sl25 to Sis. Mr..
Schwartze sent his ore 10 the territori-
al assay ONCE at Rawlins, and received
on last Saturday the report Of q s93 as
say. Immediately upon returning from
Denver Nj. Reel proceeded on his way
north, accompanied by MeHenry and q
Chicago gentleman. Mr.. Schwsrtle
also pulled out for the new discoveries.
Neither Of these gentlemen, however,
gave any information regarding the
business which led them out Of town,
and IL was this supposed secresy which
created the belief that big bonanzas
had been struck. and that II would
PROVE n fortune for the owners, and al
50 a great boom for Cheyenne,
1t was for the purpose Of ascertain
ing the facts in the ease for the benefit
OF the readers OF the LEADER, that
your correspondent concluded to make
a trip TO this section. The journey has
not been an agreeable one, cold weather
and the present storm making It a very
laborious and severe journey. Much
interest was manifested by the people
along the route In the new discoveries,
all hoping for good news, and, conse-
quently, increased business prosperity.
At Schwartze's, Bard's, H~unton's and
wrigbt's hotel ut Fort Laramie your
correspondent and his associates,
Messfs. Howard, Emery and -Maginn,
were Hospitality received. At Fort
Laramie Gen. Bracket and G. ii. Col
Inns, the post trader, bestowed upon us
many substantial favors. all wishing us
God speed on our journey. At Govern
ment Farm the now storm overlook
and delayed us for n day, and to-day we
pulled through for this place In a blind
ing snow storm, the air being piercing
ly cold, and the thermometer standing
l2o below zero.
At Rawhide Buttes we found a num-
Der OF Cheyenne people who had been
prospecting In the adjacent hills, and
had brought In n number OF fine. speci-
mems OF s~ilver-bearing rock. The
storm had driven them TO this place,
for the time putting n stop TO all pros
pecting. A number Of tents have been
pitched neal Atkins ranch, and the
prospectors have named the little tented
village Bracket City," In honor of
the genial colonel Of the Third cavalry,
commanding ut Fort Laramie.

Cruelty 10 Canarles.

A BIRD LOVER" sends this commu-
nication-applicable to all localities-to
the New York Herald: ..As a lover of
song birds | beg a small space in your
valuable Complaint Book for the pur-
pose of calling attention to a species Of
cruelty that is being constantly prac-
ticed by ladies who keep canaries. of
course in utter ignorance of the fact.
During the summer heat | have been
frequently panied by seeing hapless
canary birds hung up in their brass
cages in the blazing sunshine. To keep
a bird for two or three hours exposed
to the rays of the sun when the Their
mometer stands at eighty degrees or
ninety degrees is simply 10 shorten its
life. All birds love to sport in the sun
light. but it is contrary to common
sense TO expect a Gagged bird to be
healthy after a continuous sun bath of
six or eight hours. II laflies desire that
their pets may enjoy the Sun in a natural
way let them cut a round cover of green
paper. with q hole in the middle, and
place it on top of the cage, so that the
little creature may have shade whenever
it wishes to rest. am urged to write
this note because a neighbor of mine
found her bird dead in the cage. and.
judging from the symptoms, it was a
clear ease of sunstroke. The best plan
is 20 put the bird out in the early morn
ing sunshine. but by eleven o'clock the
cage should be Withdrawn 10 the shade
behind the window blinds; then health
will be secured and the number of
sudden deaths among these feafhered
pets greatly reduced. You might as
well wrap a child in \ blanket aud send
it out TO play in the hot street as to
keep a canary in the sun all day"

Carni,or0us Plants.

When insects are caught by plants, IL
Is assumed, and with apparent reason,
that the act is, for some purpose, direct
" connected with the plants own good.
In some cases The plants seem Ia have
special adaptations, calculated Ia al
lure insects TO destruction; and Mr..
Darwin has shown that some plants
have digestive acids connected with
leaf-glands, by which heterogeneous sub
stances may be absorbed. The area Of
these curious observations is being con
~tinually widened, and now H. HOrticoL
BelgiYue announces that the pineapple
and many other brOmeliaceous plants
have been discovered 10 be "carnivor-
Gus" Many plants Of this order are
Epiphytes, attaching themselves To trees
or rocks, and deriving most Of their
sustenance from the atmosphere,
through their leaves. In a large num-
Der of species the leaves clasp the stem
tightly, and form small cups, which
always have water in them, condensed
from the dews or held from rain; and
in tropical forests these little cups of
water are said To be always filled with
insects, which purify in the liquid and
thus aid in n%ourishing the plant. The
Belgian paper is abiding To these dis
coveries from the practical standpoint,
and recommends those who are cult
waiting this extensive and beautiful tribe
of plants, either for the fruit, rs the
pineapple, or for the foliage oil flowers,
to take the hint fron Nature. Under
glass the plant is practically shut off
from insect food: but the editor thinks
a fair substitute for meat soup may be
offered by dropping a little carbonate of
ammonia into the water in the leaf
cups.-N. y. Independent.
