A Paving Occupation.

The approach of the long winter
evenings calls attention to the matter
Of a lamp, for without a good light
half the pleasure or profit is taken
from reading or study. Coal oil is
now in general use for illuminating
purposes outside of cities or large
towns where coal gas is used, and
when proper lamp is used it is the
best substitute for sunlight vet dis
covered. The principle or plan upon
which the Student lamp is construc-
ted may be said to be the best in
use. but the lamp itself has always
had several Objectionable features
which we are glad to see are being
done away with in the new aspirant
for favor called the "HoME LAMP"
manufactured by the Home Lamp
Co. Of Cincinnati. The great Offices
ton to most other lamps is their liza
hility to be upset, the trouble to keep
them in order, and the poor light
given by them. The New Home
Lamp Is Nickle Plated, and almost a
facsimile of the Student Lamp it
has handsome ornamented clamp
by means of which the lamp can at
ence be easily adjusted to any posi-
ton upon the centre table. piano,
music rest, sewing machine, desk or
by meana of handsome bracket.
which goes with the lamp, can be
placed upon the wall, and in what
ever position it is placed it is abso
lItely safe. This is the great feature
of excellence. but the New Home
Lamp combines also the patent ar
gand burner. a filling indicator and
match box. Ne LAMP has ever be-
fore been received with such unusual
favor or received such strong recon-
mendations from the leading journals
of Cincinnati. 1t is also endorsed by
such men AS the mayor and postmas-
ter, several insurance presidents and
express agents Of that city as the
safest, most convenient and best
lamp made. The Company desires
agents in this locality, and any
smart lady or gentleman can make
handsome income during the next
six months by canvassing for its sale.
There is hardly dozen families in
this county who will not want one,
and the price is so low as to bring it
within the reach of all. For further
information address, Home Lamp
Co., Cincinnati. o., mentioning our
paper, and they will give ycu full
particulars and exclusive territory to

A SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION.-
Following the example of other ma
tiers, the Italian government Is
about to equip and send out a polar
exploring expedition, but to the
Antarctic instead of the Arctic re-
gions. The leader of this South Polar
expedition is Lieut.. Bove, who ac-
companied Prof. Nordenskjeld in
the Vega during the celebrated
northeast passage around Asia. The
expedition will attempt to extend
the discoveries made by Sir James
Clark Ross, of the British.and Capt.
Wilkes. of our navy. and will alse
seek new guano islands and sperm
whale resorts. They will use steam
power, and hope to solye some of the
MYSTERIES of the supposed Antarctic
continent. which is a volcanic re-
gion. The Mozambique equatorial
current flows strongly towards the
South Pole and may open a way
through the ice very far South.

The Cumberland Only Ne,cs
publishes a communication stating
that the first heavy railroad iron
manufactured in the United States
was made at the iron works at Mt.
Savage. in this State, in 1874. 1t was
a bridge rail, weighing forty pounds
to the yard. While these rails were
being made, the mill was likewise
employed on contract of L rails, of
fifty-two pounds to the yard, for a
railroad near Fall River, Rhode Is
land, to connect with what is now
the Old Colony Road. The Franklin
Institute awarded silver medal for.
these rails, and some of 10th patterns
were laid ON the railroad heloning to
the rolling mills extending from Mt.
Savage to Cumberland. Some of
these rails are still in existence, and
to Mrs. Henry Thomas. Weld, of
Mt Savage, whose husband was the
engineer of the company, belongs
the honor of having held the longs
when the first heavy rail was made
in this country. The writer makes
this statement in correcting report
that ths first rail of that kind was
made at Scranton in 1915. ts

Grants Consistency.

General Grant was highly shocked
Mt the course pursued by President
Garfield in the Robertson case. The
general evidently forgets his own
course in the case of the appointment
of Simmons, of Boston, contrary to
the expressed wishes of Charles Sum-
ner and the entire Massachusetts del
egation. In addition to this it now
appears that Mcdonald, the st. Louis
whisky thief, was made supervisor of
internal revenue at St. Louis against
the determined opposition of Carl
Shurz and Senator Drake, both of
whom were then on very friendly
terms with the president. Both Sem
ator Shurz and Drake objected to the
appointment ns one utterly unit to
be made, yet Mcdonald was appoint
ed against their protest, notwith-
standing, on the 9th day Of October,
1869, and afterwards confirmed. The
proof of Senator brakes objection,
and of Its being known to the presi-
dent, is contained In the following
letter

DEAR SIR :-Gencral John McDon-
ALI presents excellent recommenda-

poses to sec you and present his pa

make an efficient officer. Senator

Sir. We have to-day learned bv
the kilograms of our daily papers
that John Mcdonald, of this place.
has been appointed supervisor Of in-
tcrnsl revenue, and assigned FOR duty
TO this district. We beg leave TO as
sure you that the reputation of this
man and his associates are such that
lac can bring no moral support to the
government In the enforcement oil in

quite certain that his qualifications,
natural or acquired, are such as to
render the appointment an unfit one
10 be made. We believe that by hts
being placed In so important an Office
the collection OF the revenue will be
retarded. and the combinations which

The account of the Christmas f~estivi-
ties at Fort Russell, in Sundays issue
was of necessity very meagre. A
correspondent furnishes the following:
The Christmas tree at Fort Russell,
Christmas Eve, for the Sunday school,
was given under the direction of Mrs.
Jas. Simpson, assisted by Mrs. Steever
and Mrs. Weidman, Lieuts. Ducat and
Davis.
The exercises opened with "Carol,
Brothers Carol" sung blythe children,
followed by palm Branches" which
was beautifully rendered by Maj. Sniff
fen, Mrs. Sniffen presiding at the or.
gan. The children then sang, "We
Three Kings of Orient Are"
After singing ''Silent Night" the
curtain was taken down and the little
ones heheld Santa Claus standing by
the Christmas tree, which was well
filled with presents. Lieut.. Ducat ac-
ted his part as Santa Claus exceedingly
well, and after the distributing of pres
ents to each child. the little ones re-
turned to their homes very happy.
The officers and ladies spent the re-
mainder of the evening very enjoyably
in dancing.

The opera House.

The proprietors of the opera house de-
serve a great deal of credit for the fiat
tering condition of real estate in this
city. Since the building of the club
house, real estate has taken an upward
turn; and a rise of fifty per cent. nearly
or quite, has been experienced since
the opera house became an assumed
fact. The reason of this is plain. 1t
shows a thorough confidence in the
prosperity of the city-such an invest
ment of so much capital which de-
Ponds entirely upon the business and
prosperity of Cheyenne. This marks
the beginning Of an era Of business
prosperity.
There yet remains but 50, 200 OF
opera house stock open for subscrip-
ton, and with it goes certain privil-
eyes, which have already been published,
and which offer considerable of an in
ducement, when it is considered that
under the present management, the
stock is worth dollar for dollar in actual
value.

Yesterday Mr.. G. d. Bale, for a long
time connected with o. F. Cowhick's
dry goods store Of this city, departed
for the east, having resigned his po-
sition here with the idea of remaining
permanently at his home in Ohio. Dur
ing his residence here Mr.. Bale has
gained a large circle Of friends and ac-
quaintances who will sincerely regret
his departure. In musical circles an
excellent trained voice made him a val
liable addition, and his position in this
field will be difficult to supply; while
excellent social qualities made him well
come everywhere. He was accompanied
to the train by a score or more Of his
friends, who babe him God speed, with
the wish echoed by all, that he may
find it to his interest to return in the
near future.

preys upon every tissue and fibre of the
frame. Yet it is easily removed. A
