Poor We'uns.

As we look across the broad expanse
Of plain which lies between our fair city
and the Medicine Bow range, whose
lofty peaks are crowned with perpetual
SHOWS; glance at the cone'hke form OF
Diamond Peak in the southwest, beyond
which we know lies the roaring Cache
la Poudre, in whose cool waters sport
myriads of speckled trout, and along
whose banks the deer, elk, antelope,
and festive John rabbit are sporting;
then turn to the hills on the east, whose
cool canyons and towering pines seem
to murmur "come" we feel as though
we would like toleave the city and get out
among them. Other people can go out
for summer trips. The "over-worked"
preacher who gets up one ser mon week;
the wornout lawyer, who has had one
case since Christmas; the merchant,
who spends four hours a day in his
office; the gentlemen of leisure, aud old
maids, and young maids, and lovers,
and every body except hod.carriers and
newspaper men. They must stay at
home. They have no right to the hills;
no rights that other people are bound
to respect. No right to think OF bab-
bling brooks, rod or gun. The news
paper fend must stay within the sacred
precincts of the city where his journal
is printed, and be called liar, free
lunch dispenser, theater deadhead. an
incessant noser, roustabout, and deck
hand generally-a victim of the walls OF
public disfavor. Must receive and
digest all the abuse of humanity gen
orally, and several counties to hear from ;
be abused if he publishes the news, and
abused if he dosen't-a person who Is
regarded as necessary evil, and at the
same time one to be feared. Must for
get his own troubles and lay before his
readers each evening newsy, spicy,
readable paper, even though be may
feel more like entering a lunatic asylum
as a regular boarder than writing for
others amusement Laramie Boom

One summer in the years agone,
while a camp meeting was in progress
in Eaton county, there arrived on the
grounds bully named Miller, who had
made vow to thrash Elder johnson
and break up the whole business. The
Elder heard the news with calm COM
posure, and as soon as at liberty he
hunted up worldly friend of his own
and asked:
Friend Smith, didn't you used to
fight in your younger days?"
"Ahl Elder, have had many turn
with the boys"
"And what is the effect of sudden
blow between the eyes?"
at astonishes and humbles."
as there any danger of killing man
by such blowP"
"Never knew a case OF 1t.
aThe Elder went his way with serene
smile on his face. Miller had his coat
off and was hunting for him, and they
met face to face as they turned wagon.
Miller started to crack his heels and
crow, but he never finished. The Ell
der took him one square between the
lockers without stopping his pace, and
it took twelve rowdies, three dippers Of
water, and two quarts of whisky to re-
vive the patient and get him of the
grounds. One day, q year afterward,
he met the Elder and seriously asked: .

Southern Profits.

Ten miles below the city of Green
vile, S. c., on the line of the Columbia
and Greenville railroad, is located the
Piedmont Cotton mill. Last month
the annual meeting of the stock hold
ers was held, and the report OF the
president. Col. II. P. Hammett, show
ing the operations of the mill for the
fiscal year ending March 81, 1882, was
submitted. This report sets forth that
the total gross profits for the year were
s119, 799 O5 and the total expenditures
500, 729 80, leaving net profits, s96, O69-
Is. "This," as Col. Hammett says,
ais 2s.73 per cent. upon the capital OF
1894, 400, before it is increased to build
the new mill, or 1921 per cent. upon
the whole capital of 100000. But
this was on a run of only ten and q
half months, there being six weeks
stoppage to put in new water-wheeis
and to make the necessary changes re-
quired for running both mills by the
same power. At the same rate fol
twelve months the profit would be e.
Ss per cent. on 1894, 400, or 2l.s6 pei
cent. on 100000. The reserve fund
amounts to s167 1872 46.

A Steam PIOw at Work.

A Fargo, Dakota, letter to the Boston
Journal says:
"After all that has been done with
reference to bringing out steam pillow
in this country, it remains for an ingen-
ious Englishman to invent and place
in successful working a steam pillow.
Mr.. J. G.. Allen of Leeds, Eng, agent
for John Fowler & Co.,, the manufact'
urers of steam plows at Leeds, is ac-
complishing some excellent work on the
Aurora farm, belonging to Capt. Thos
w. Hunt, at Blanchard, Dakota. 1t is
attracting great deal of attention, and
farmers are coming long distances to
see the pillow at work. Two enormous
traction engines are placed about 3O0
to 500 yards apart. Beneath each en-
CINE and belted to the boiler, is steel
drum about five feet in diameter. 10
this drum is attached steel cable about
three quarters Of an inch in diameter"
500 yards long, and capable OF sustain'
ing a weight of thirty tons, which drags
the plow to and fro across the field.
The plow is framework of iron resting
upon two large wheels; on each side OF
this frame are firmly fixed six plows
with coulters that cut six burrows Six
teen inches wide each time the machine
crosses the field. On the arrival OF the
blow at the end of the furrow the guage
changes position, and the plows that
have been in the air are lowered and
ready to start back. One man is suffi'
Gent to guide the pillow, and seated over
the body of the machine, directs one OF
the two wheels in the furrow last turned
by means of hand wheel. Each en-
zine is of about 40 horse power, and
weighs about sixteen tons. When
the plow reaches one side OF the field
the engine on that side moves ahead
eight feet, the operation taking three
and one half minutes only, and the
plow is started back to the other side OF
the field. The pillow will break from
twenty-five to thirty-fve acres per day
according to the soil, location and Lay
of the land, etc. 1t also does harrow

"frauds"
l.. Lum Smith, publisher Of the ORR
entail Casket, and an extensive manu-
facturer OF patented substitute for
stained glass, was arraigned in Philadel-
phia on the 18th inst, charged with ex-
posing in his agents Herald, Lewis A.
Kendall and William Haynes us frauds.
DEPENDENT states that Oct, IL, 1879,
the p. o. department stopped Kendalls
mail and placed his fifteen alias
es, viz: l.. A Ashman, Bay Stats Organ

Home Library" and "A Genuine Bijou
Oil Painting, painted by hand, on can
vass, by an eminent Boston artist" all
for "27 cents"
Defendant contends that when one
man enlarges himself into fifteen swind-
ling firms, it is absolutely a matter
which concerns the public to know why,
what he does, and how he does it, and
by what right he can march into anoth-
er state defantly to seize upon the law
and muzzle the press, to maliciously
prosecute an honest publisher for pro-
tecting his subscribers.
VIM. Haynes, alias American Mfg
Co., and Miscellany Pub. Co., assumes
the role of an alarmist.
Arguments are imaginatively set
forth to show why everybody should
subscribe for the miscellany" at 20
cents or $1.OO per year, and become the
possessor of "a valuable lot of land" or
900 chromos."
After hemming and having, Haynes,
on cross examination, stated each lot
would be 4Ox1OO feet-over l,lOO lots
had been decided to subscribers; still,
no survey had as yet been made, coulo
not remember the name of a single re-
cipient.
Defendant asks, in the interests OF
Justice, that all newspapers and read
ers. and their friends, throughout the
country, who at any time, may have re-
ceiyed advertisement, propositions, cir
culars, papers, correspondence orgoods'
not as represented, from either OF the
above persons, or aliases, they would
kindly forward, with brief statement
of facts, to address as below. Having
retained Emerson Bennett, Jr., and JAS.
n. Heverin as counsel, and having been
assured by them of the business OF his
cases. defendant will force them to trial
at the earliest moment; and expects, at
the proper time and place, with the
kind assistance of the public, to submit
to the Judge and jury such evidence OF
fraud as will fully substantiate the above
charges. , ,,r,uu

Rlchmond's Phenomenon.
Richmond whig.

Richmond Whig.
The case Of James Coleman, the coll
ored boy, formerly member OF the
church OF which Rev. John Jasper, the
famous colored preacher, is pastor, has
taken turn which has caused even
more excitement, among the members
of that church particularly, than it did
in the beginning, when Coleman, after
having been expelled from church,
ceased TO speak, claiming that he had
told lie, aud having previously in
voked God to paralyze his tongue il
what he said was not true, was struck
dumb because he told lie. Saturday
evening last Coleman's mother went to
DIR. Tahb's office TO have the boy
treated, hoping that medical assistance
would revive the linqual powers of the
boy whose misdoings led to his being
expelled from church few days before.
The boy, who is about seventeen years
old, accompanied his mother to DIR.
Tabbs office. An effort was made to
get him to speak by polite persuasive
ness, but the alleged dumb stricken,
accommodated and disobedient boy
steadfastly refused. DR.. Tabb called
in DIR. Lee, and the two administered
chloroform to the boy. Very soon he
was gently snoring away under the be-
nign influence Of the drug, but never
spoke word, Notwithstanding the fact
that persuasive power in the shape OF
sharp pins were put to the boys body,
causing enough pain to make an ordin-
airy man use the plainest sort of Anglo
Saxon in the quickest sort of time and
in the loudest tone imaginable.
The medical men simultaneously
struck upon the idea that the galvanio
battery, if properly used, would probe-
bly work like a charm. 1t was used,
and with fine effect. The handles OF
the little instrument we're placed in the
boys hands. He was told to hold them
easy. and, as requested, caught them
firmly. Enough electricity was turned
on to prevent the boy from letting the
handles loose. Getting him thus under
their control, the medical men smiled
and knew that they had him if he was
to be had at all. A powerful current
with lightning rapidity went through
the boys framework with fine eject
His tongue moved, and in faint voice,
which was hardly heard at the other
side of the room, he said, as If gasping
for breath, "S-t-o-p it."
Presently the electricity got the best
of him and science prevailed. With q
loud voice he sent forth plaintive plea
for mercy. He didn't speak plain
enough, though, and the physicians
continued to put it to him. "For Gods
sake, doctor, stop shookin' dat handle"
This was enough, and in compliance
with the boys earnest appeal, the bat
terry was stopped, the electric current
turned off and the boys liberty estab-
lished.
