The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-06-17

New York, June 16.-The following
was addressed by Theodore French.
United States commissioner of rail-
roads, to Leland Stanford, president of
the Central Pacific railroad company:
Department of the Interior,
Office Commissioner Railroads, ,
San Francisco, June IL.
Sir-The results of my examination
Of the books and accounts of your COM
pany, and also my present views in
regard to matters bearing upon the
eventual repayment to the United
States of both principal and interest of
the subsidy bonds and questions col
lateral thereto, may not be uninterest-
ing to you at this time. First, how
ever, let me state that many Of the
conditions which existed during the
years Immediately subsequent to '73, no
longer interpose to complicate matters.
California is gradually emerging from
its business torpor, labor is finding
employment, and at better prices, state
politics are reaching a more settled
condition, and the near future is full Of
promise, not only to railroads but to
producing and other interests of the
Pacific slope generally. as evidenced by
the largely increased business of your
company during the last II months,
ending May 31st.
Let me further note, am more than
ever impressed with the expediency,
not to say necessity, of the consolidation
of your lines with those of the Union
Pacific, SO as to fulfil or carry out the
original intentions of congress, as set
forth in the charter, such consolidation
being the only means to obviate many
serious difficulties, present and prospec-
tive. which will doubtless involve other
companies and interests, and tend to
impede, in some measure, the prosper
ity Of the whole country. After care
full consideration, E. II. Miller, jr., Sec
retary of your company, and myself,
have arrived at satisfactory conclu-
sion as to the basis for pro ratory busi-
ness between the subsidized and unsub-
sidized portions of the railroad operated
by your company. But while the set
tlement of 1879 was made upon the
nearest approximation to that which
was believed to be fair and equitable,
the settlement Of 1880 is still more 80.
We both recognize the impossibility of
fixing any absolutely permanent basis
for such settlements, owing to the
changing circumstances and conditions
which are liable to occur from time to
time by the settlement of 1880. The
total amount required from your COM
pany under the law will be little over
81 600. 900, of which $500, 900 has been
already paid by transportation. This
sum and a much larger sum, probably
for 1881, can, 1 am satisfied, be readily
paid by your company, without in any
| way preventing or interfering with the
payment Of dividens Of at least 0 per
cent per annum hereafter.

Lutte terror; then. But before I could
speak there was hasty scuf1s on the
stairs, and Hero In person rushed into
the room. Bijou lifted his head and
futtered his wings, but he was too late.
In another instant Hero had pounced
upon the tempting plaything. There was
q strangled squeak, an agOnized gasp,
and poor Bijou had disappeared bodily
down the gaping red throat, and Hero
was on his back, kicking convulsively,

it is an old love affair. Jack knew of il
all along, which was the reason of his
profane laughter when he found that
they had established themselves in, the
same house. They were engaged when
both were young, but quarreled. Aunt
Clarice married Mr.. Vaughan out OF

State Of Man Before Death.

A Danish physician, L. Hornemann,
has written an interesting essay on the
state of man just before death. Much
experience and fine insight have led
the author to conclusions which can NOT
but be grateful TO those who stand Ut .
death bed, to those who mourn over .
loss, and to those who fear death. Here
Is one statement out Of many: "Ths
feeling of deaths approach changes and
purifies the inner sense, while the outer
sense, including that Of bodily pain, Il
made dull by the gradual decrease Of
the vital functions" The experience Of
others corroborates this. A slow death
usually prepares the mind Of the patient
for the final step, and often makes the
latter welcome. Hence, 20 few people
who are MORALLY i'll are really afraid TO
die. Persons who have for time lost
the use of their senses by drowning or
suffocation confirm this experience,
while persons in perfect health shrink
from death ~ they do from eating "a
unknown drug or from playing with un-.
known animals. Death seems hard
chiefly to surviving friends.

Jack and I had been married year
before we went to housekeeping. People
say that the first year of married life is
the most trying. All can say is that
we did not find it so. We never had q
word of serious difference so long as we
boarded, but almost as soon as we were
settled in our own tiny, pretty house,
our troubles began.
Jack aud have never been quite able
to decide when our unpleasantness COM
menced He puts the date of it in June,
when Lettice Green went to Europe, and
left me her canaries as parting gift
two ofthe lovliest little yellow and green
darlings that ever were seen. That is
quite absurd, though. The real trouble
began month later, when he himself
brought home the great, clumsy, blum
dering Newfoundland pup, which was
the pest of the house for many long
day.
It wasn't SO bad at first. Jack only
laughed when he saw the canaries, and
said, s.Why, Madge, little woman, you'll
have your hands full now, if you never
did before. +"
4. Nonsense!''. I said; sits nothing to
take care of pair of BIRDS But Jack
only laughed.
Such darlings as those birds were! I
can't say that they ever learned to know
me mot really, you know. They fut-
tered just as much and were just as hard
to catch the last day that let them out
of their cage as on the first. That
was one Of the things that Jack objected
TONY letting them out of their cage,
mean. Jack wrote, you see-for the
press, mean-and the back parlor,
which was also his study, was the only
place. where I could keep the birds.
8 Really, Madge," said Jack one day,
"Iwish you could find some other place
TO keep those birds, or else wish you
would not let them out of their cage.
Their favorite promenade is my desk,
and ] never can find paper that want
after they have been roofing about
there"
..But, Jack, - said, they must have
their morning fly, poor little dears, and
have always let them have it while
you are taking your constitutional, so
that they need not disturb you. If you
would rather have me let them out
while you are at home, though"
ssThanks, not any," said Jack. It's
bad enough to see the results, without
