The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-05-20

New York, May 19.-The Times
Albany special says: 1t is now settled
beyond question that under no circum.
stances, except an unlikely combination
between the stalwarts and democrats,
can either Conkling or Platt be returned
to the United States senate by this
legislature. Yesterday the stalwarts
claimed 81 votes in the assembly and
- in the senate that could be counted
on for their reelection. To-day they
cannot muster more than 60 in both
houses, and the prospect is that before
the election takes place. they will not
be able to count 80. They require 81
to elect, and this number cannot be had
80 long as Conkling and Platt remain
in the field, except as before stated, by
an improbable alliance with the demo-
Gratis. Samuel j. Tilden already has
his agents on the ground to see what
aid he can render them, more especially
Conkling, but it is believed that he
cannot make any combinations looking
to the future or in gratitude for the
past, that will save them. Tilden,
strange as it may appear, is anxious to
be elected governor again, and if the
question Of filling the vacant senatorial
seats could be turned over to the next
legislature, he might furnish Conkling
material assistance in carrying the sem
atorial and assembly districts next fall,
and trust to getting his reward in the
gubernatorial contest the year after.
A few days will settle the question,
but unless Conkling declines a re-elec-
tion within week, the people may
make up their minds that a combina-
tion of conspiracy is being Matched,
which, when it comes to develop itself,
will reveal, among other things, the
gretesque fgurshead of the cunning
old fox Of Grammercy Park. SO conf.
dent are the administration leaders at
Albany that Robertson says be will not
take his commission as collector until
Conkling and Platt are beaten and two

tion men, are elected to ill the places

Sedentary Habits.

The alarming increase Of late years in
the proportion OF sudden deaths is be-
ginning to attract the attention Of statist-
icians. 1t is largely due, no doubt, to
more general mental activity without a
proportlonate increase in bodily exercise.
The busy life Of the age demands con-
stant hurry and excitement, and taxes
the physical powers TO the utmost to
keep up in the race for money-gettino.
One Of the disadvantages of introducing
facilities Of transportation is the tempta-
tioa to cut short time and distance by
the habitual use Of steam cars and horse
cars even in the daily transit from the
dwelling TO the Office. A sedentary oc-
cupation begets an almost unconquera-
BILE aversion to regular exercise, and the
result of yielding to the indisposition is
that the mental powers, kept at steady
tension for years, will some day suddenly
relax and leave their abuser either life
less or helpless paralytic. To literary
and professional men is vigorous and
regular exercise especially needful, and
the example OF its effects III hale old
age will suggest themselves to every one.
The exercise needed to keep the mind in
tone and the physical force unabated, M
to the three score years and ten, is not q
daily spin behind a fast stepping horse,
but the long swinging gait which puts
the walker over country road at the
rate Of three or five miles an hour, and
sends the blood pushing with invigorst-
ing life to every portion Of the system
Two hours exercise day, so far from
being positive waste Of time, is posi-
tive economy, supplying the nervous
force for more and better work in ten
hours than the man Of street cars and
carriages can get out Of twelye.--.NclO

Thanks to the general use Of steam in
travelling, it is comforting to reflect that
in spite Of the very great annoyance aud
inconvenience caused by the horse dis
eases in recent years, particularly by the
epizootic which prevailed in the year
l572, the Inconvenience to which peo-
pie are subjected nowadays IN the lack
of horses are really much less grave than
those which our ancestors had to con-
tend with, in similar Circumstances. For
our forefathers, the prevalence of q se-
we're epizootic meant the cessation Of all
travelling and transportation, whether
for long or for short distances; except
ing, of course, such service as may be
done by oxen and by men on foot. Some
idGa of the gravity Of the situation is
suggested by the following extracts from
sn old Birmingham newspaper On
February 4, 1850, notice was published
that "the horSes belonging to the Biz
mingham stage coach are so much af-
fected hy the present dis temper that pre-
walls among tbem, that its iournies are
obliged to be discontinued until their
recovery" And in the week following
another notice appears under that OF
February IL, 1860, 'sthe horses belong
ing TO the Birmingham stage coach are
still so bad that it would be dangerous to
attempt their going with the coach this
week; but on Monday next, the 18th.
Mr.. Peyton proposes that the coach shall
set out to go from hence as usual after
which he hopes it will meet with nc
other interruption.

Good TDr Nr. Fields

Mr.. Fields, the Boston publisher, had
a wonderful memory, and his know.
ledge Of English literature was so great
that. when a friend wished to know
where o particular passage was to he
found in an English author, he would
60 direct to the famous biblipole. A
would be wit, thinking to quiz him be-
fore co spany at dinner. Informed his
friends, previous to Mr.. Fields arrival,
that he had just written some lines
which he intended to submit to him as
Southey's and 70 inquire in which OF
his works they occurred. After the
guests were seated he began, Friend
Fields, have been at good deal CT
trouble Of late in searching Gnt in
Southey's poems his well known lines
he had composed. Can you tell me
when he wrote them, and where they
are to be tound?' Il do not remember
to have met with them before, replied
the publisher: 'and there were only two
periods in Southey's life when such lines
could possibly have been written by
him. When we're those?' Some
where said Mr.. Fields, about that
early period of his existence when he
was having the measles or cutting his
first teeth, or near the c,ose of his life
hen his brain was softened. Thv yer,
sifca,ion belongs to the measles period
but the ideas betray the idiotlc one.
The company roared.
