A Hint to Theatrical Agents.

When an advance agent Of show
reaches Il town where the company are
expected to play, the knowing ones
generally form Il pretty good estimate
of the coming attraction from cursOry
assay of the agent. If another enter
tainment is advertised for the same
week they ask him what he thinks of
it. If he turns up his nose and laughs
scurnfully of the rival combination, the
fact is set down that he. hasn't enough
confidence in his own. company to kees
from .defaming the cOunter-attraction.
If he speaks we'll Of it, the inference is
sure to follow that he represents a pref
~ good company and can afford to be
generous to rivals.

MAINTAINING STYLE.
The Editors Gallant Rcpulse OF an Ad-

About three years ago Ed. Townsend
now connected with the San Francisco
Chronicle, worked on an Aurora paper.
The papers was not making much
money, and Townsend's salary was not
always forthcoming just when he want
ed it. One day the proprietor was OIL
on Il trip leaving "Townie" in COM
mand. He was counting up the col
umns of dead advertisements, when a
man who few days before had re-
marked in Townsend's hearing that he
"never thought advertising did him
any good" he 'just put in an ad. oc-
casiOnally to help the poor, starving
paper along" When he advanced to
the editorial table Townsend threw hi.
leg over the arm of the chair and as
summed an air OF Independence which
would make a circus IN ,nager blush.

"Don't take small advertisements"
said the editor, picking up his pen and

NEVADA BEEF.
How Much Does the state Produce p
who Ships it and from WhereY

Very few of the APPEAL readers hav,
Ian idea Of the number of beef cattl,
which are shipped annually from Neva
da to San Francisco. A late writer il
the bulletin says that at least twu-third>
OF the cattle used in the San Francisco
market come from Nevada. 1t is esti.
mated that the number of cattle grazing
in Nevada ranges from 2OO,OOO to 25O,.
900, and there are probably more. Mil
Ter & Lux, Of California have 10000
head se...
IN NEVADA,
But DR.. eileen and his parters head the
list Of cattle riisers, their confined
herds aggregating about 10000 head.
Mr.. Tadhunter comes next, his cattle in
this State numbering fully %, 900 head.
There are, it is believed, about 500 men
in Nevad., engaged in cattle raising as
principals; many of them, Of course, on
IA small scale. The ranges are mostly
held by possessory title only, but in
some cases land controlling water priv
ileges has been obtained 10y presumption
or purchase, and the possession of the
water gives control of a large area of
surrounding grazing land. The cattle
men Of Nevada have lost more stock
from hard weather than all other in
fuences combined. They have not
been troubled with the dis asses which
have been prevalent in other places, al
though the ''bl.ck leg" caused consid-
cradle loss since it made its appearance
in 1879. Every indication this season
points towards abundant water and good
feed, which will no doubt materially
increase cattle
SHIPMENTS FROM NEVADA
During the next season. The cattle of
Nevad.. destined for the California mar
ket are nearly driven to the Central
Pacific Railroad for shipment. Only
about 5000 head, on an average, are
driven acro.s the oierras,
Lassen Pass, to the Sacramento
Valley, there to be fattened for market.
The drives in Nevada are not very
long, one of the longest being from
Oregon to Keno-froln 800 to 400 miles
aid thousands of cattle are annually
driven to the meadows in the vicinity
of Reno and Carson to prepare for the
san Francisco market. The cost of
from Reno to San Francisco
is 800 Il car load; from Tacoma, III the
eastern part of tine State, it $l24. Win
has been the principal cattle
point i'll Nevada, Reno, Hal
Leck, Wells and Iron Point coming next
in the order stated. The annual sh r.
nlent of cattle to the Bay is about $4,000
mead, an average Of 200 per day, and
Mr.. Brooks, vino has bought many
thousands OF Nevada cattle, estimates |
ihe average weight of Il Nevada beet
II 100 pounds, taking the average OF
Ill the shipments, which include many |
:oWo and lWo-year-oids.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-05-14

Paris, May 13.-In the senate, Pre-
mier Ferry announced that the Franco
Tunisian treaty was signed yesterday.
1t assures to France the right to occu-
py positions which the French military
deem necessary for the maintainance
of order and security of the frontier
and coast. France guarantees the bey
security of person, state and dynasty,
and the maintainance of the actually
existing treaties between the regency
and the European powers. The bey is
not to conclude any new international
convention without a previous under
standing with France. The French
diplomatic agents abroad will be
charged with the protection of the Tu-
nisian interests. The financial system
of Tunis will be regulated by France
in concert with the bey, to secure a
better working of the administration Of
the regency.
A subsequent convention will de.
termine the amount and mode of col
lection of the war indemnity to be
levied upon the rebellious tribes, and
guaranteed by Tunis, The hey under.
takes to prohibit the importation Of
arms and ammunition on the coast
south of Tunis.
Terry said the text will shortly be
submitted. He hoped that the cham
bers would ratify the treaty, which
guarantees security to the French in
terests and attains the object for which
the expedition was undertaken.

New York, May 13.-It begins to
look as if Boston were disposed to take
into serious consideration the project of
a worlds fair in 1885. Various Boston
papers have given cautious hearing to
the enterprise, and now the Herald
publishes half-page map of the pro-
posed site, which is to be triangle
bounded by Huntington avenue, Park
er street and the line of the Boston &
Albany railroad. The plan proposes
that the main exhibition shall be under
one roof, covering 60 acres, and con-
nected at one end with the building of
the Massachusetts charitable associa-
tion, and at the other end, with that of
the New England manufacturers in
stitute.

hilist who was arrested here recently,
charged with completely in the murder
of the czar, and with the planning of
the Little Garden street mine, is a ma

train bearing the Jewish refugees, and
the engineer refused to proceed for fear
the train would be upset. A rein
forcement of infantry and dragons
have arrived in the disturbed districts.

New York, May 13.-The most as
tonished man In all New York yester-
day morning was Samuel Stevens, an
honest working man, living in East
Sixth street. He recently returned
from California, where he had been a
miner. His wife, whom he married
about a year ago, presented him, at
five O'Clock in the morning, with a
bouncing boy. Before he had time to
fairly express his satisfaction, bright
girl came into the world. He was still
in dazed condition when the third, a
second daughter was announced. This
complicated and serious aspect of event
was altogether too much for him, and
the poor man tainted dead away. He
told a Herald reporter that he was sorry
that he did not hang on to his Sierra
Nevada stock, Of which he had held 100
shares before the great panic, which
forced him to sell out.

Judge Matthew'S Interviewed.

Washington, May 13.-A western
press reporter interviewed Judge Mat
thews, who said: "Well, 1 am informed
that by majority of one vote, 1 have
been confirmed. That isn't much to
brag Of, is it? But considering the
extraordinary motive of opposition to
my confirmation, the victory is greater
than 1t appears. was at terrible
disadvantage in the contest; the
charges made against me were such as
l could not answer. 1t was assumed,
that II was on the bench, would de-
eide certain questions in certain way.
OF course could not answer that
charge. 1t was certainly very unfair
way to attack man. 1t is all right to
tackle man about what he has done,
to overhaul his public record, but to
attack one for what it is presumed he
will do, that is unfair, because he can
not answer it. This mode of warfare
put me in very embarrassing position,
for the very nature of it prevented me
from making reply. The fact that I
was an Ohio man was used against me.
1t is known that some Of the senators
thought that the vacancy should have
been filled from some other state. 1t
has been q long, and to me, a very an
moving situation. To be confirmed by
q majority of one vote, Is nothing to
boast of, but considering the extraor-
dinary effort to defeat me, it is per-
haps surprise that the narrow major
ity was not on the other side."

Washington, May 13.-The postmas-
ter general decides that sample copies
of new publications cannot be mailed
in quantities until submitted for ruling
by the department. The department
hears that parties start wildcat publi-
cations Of apparently legitimate charac-
ter. under contract with advertisers to
circulate large quantities of the first
issue, the advertisers to pay in proper
tion to the circulation, which is proven
by the postmaster at the Office Of mail
ing. These papers have been inadvert-
emily slipped into the mails at the rate
of two cents per pound, instead of pay
ing third-class rates as they should.

MeAbonel has painted a. picture of
