three fo.lrths of his salary.
Though in the enjoyment of an ample
income he has for years been living in a
couple of rooms, where, with faithful
colored attendant. he keeps bachelor s
hall. His repugnance to female society
has always been something extraordinary.
When any of his intimate friends ask him
to dinner or any other festive occasion his
first point of inquiry seems to be whether
the ladies of the establishment are to be
there; if so, he will invariably get out of it
on some pretext or other. but if wife,
cousin, sister, or aunt are all away, he is
sure to accept the invitation make himself
thoroughly at home and enjoy the hospi-
tally which is offered him.
Whom will he marrys That is the great
question which convalses Buffalo society
just now. That he must marry is conced-
ed. 1t is regarded as entirely impractica-
BILE for any man to move into the executive
mansion with negro waiter and tenant it
wholly ungraced by some fair hostess.
Blondes and brunettes, widows of forty,
and blooming maidens of sweet sixteen all
agree in declaring that the governor-elect
must choose some one from their midst
and take her with him to Albany.
The governor himself shakes his head
when he is asked about his matrimonial
intentions, and says: 81 am too old; L
have missed nv chance" However. as
there are several very attractive hoiresses
in Buffalo. who would enable him to dis
pense magnificent hospitality in Albany,
and thus prepare his way for the fulfil
ment of his presidential ambitions, it is
still regarded as not at all unlikely that
political success will soon be welded to
beauty and 81, 100000. At all events. the
matchmakers in Buffalo society are thor
oughlv canvassing the claims of this and
the merits of that aspirant to Governor
Cleveland's hand and heart, and the
greatest curiosity is universally manifested
as to the probable result.

HOW 10 DISTINGUISH AN EDITOR.

A young lady friend asks: How can
tell an editor when / see him?" Why,
bless your sweet, sparkling eyes, it is the
easiest thing in The world. You can tell
him by his august air, by the perfect fit of
his clothing, by his elegance of manner
and by his profound silence when sur
rounded by the common herd of promiseu-
Gus society You may recognize him by
the way he spends his money, scattering
greenbacks as lavishly as shavings from a
planning machine. He generally drives a
double team to park buggy and things
hum. He also keeps two settlers, a pointer
and pet bulldog with a brunette nose.
He is deeksd in profusion with the most
expensive jewelry, and sports gold headed
cane with rose solitaire in the center.
He does not invest in marriage associa-
tions, and is as modest as a school girl.
But the chief point is, he always speaks
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth Follow these directions and
you cannot mistake.-EG.

AN EARTHQUAKE,

CONCORD, N. H., Dec 19.-At 5:24 this
evening one of the severest earthquake
shocks ever felt here occurred. The shock
was like heavy explosion, and shook the
buildings, from which the people rushed
to the streets. In one building the concus-
sion was sufficient to extinguish the gas
inside. The shock was like that of some
heavy object falling. Itevidently travelled
east and west, and was felt in Pittsburg
some four minutes later than here. 1t was
felt at great Falls. Manchester and other
places. The shock lasted eight or ten
minutes.
DOVER, N. H., Dec. 19.-About 5 is this
afternoon two slight but very perceptible
shoe of earthquake were felt here The
disturbances lasted ten seconds, occasion
ing alarm among the people. The shocks
were accompanied by rumbling noise and
were felt in Rollingford, Rochester and
other towns. The people rushed out of
their houses much bewildered.

SULPHUR FOR nIPHTHERIA.
PHILADELPHIA Record.


A gentleman residing in the northern
part of this city, whose two little daugh-
tiers were dying last Thursday of diphthe-
ria, saw in the Record of that day a com
munication commencing the use of sulphur
in case of diphtheria. As last resort he
made trial of it, using washed flower of
sulphur and applying it directly to the
membraneous growths in the Threats of the
children by means of common clay pipe.
The effect was most magical Within two
hours there was complete relief, and 10
two days the children, who had been given
up by their physicians, had completely re-
covered. While it is not reasonable to
rely entirely upon sulphur in the ills that
beset childhood, it is doubtful if there has
ever been u proper recognition of its value
as destroyer of morbid or fungus mem
braneous growths in cases of diphtheritic
type. Distilled or sublimed sulphur,
known as flowers of sulphur, should be
used, not the powdered crude sulphur.

ELECT CLEVELAND's LOVE RI
NANCE.

Buffalo letter: Gov. ELECT Cleveland Just
now is the most interesting parsonage in
Buffalo. The men all admire him. Every
bodygon the street stops him and says,
Glow are you, governor? ] congratulate
you on your great success" The women
are still more enthusiastic; no man so
lovely as Gov. Cleveland was ever seen be-
fore. He is an old bachelor who has
eschewed society all his life; who has
been the theme on the gossips' tongues for
years past.
l. Somebody has started the usual stereo-
typed story about an unfortunate love
affair, followed by disappointment and a
broken heart, resolution never to marry
and that general sentimental smash-up
which isasupposed to accompany an unre-
Quilted affection. However this may be, it
is certain that Gov. Cleveland's form has
not wasted away under the secret canker
supposed to be gnawing at his heart. He
is perhaps next to Congressman-elec Dor
sheimer, the finest and Notwithstanding
politician of New York. Unlike Mr.. Dor
sheimer, Gov. Cleveland only weighs s221
but there is something indescribably
portly about his majestic form which
gives you the impression of much greater
weight.
The governor is 46 years old and man
at as is usually considered as having been
wanting in his duty toward society if he
has not taken a wife to his bosom. It is
not the fault of the Buffalo bellies if Gov.
Cleveland is still bachelor, for they have
been setting their caps at him ever since
he became sheriff of the county, with an
income of $780, 900 per year, of which he
saved $4,000. The governor is probably
the most economical man who ever entered
the executive mansion at Albany, and
when he IS president we may see such an
era of economy and retrenchment as viii
delight all reformers and enable President
Cleveland to retire with the savings of

A New Bonanza.

From Mr.. A. NJ. Hotter, who has just re-
turned from Maiden, we learn that the Oro
Cache lead, owned by Messrs. Hauser and
Hotter, is turning out splendidly, and
promises to prove the best gold lead in
Montana. The discovery shaft is down
fifty feet, and 800 tons of ore taken from
this shaft now lies on the dump. Eight
tons of this ore, assorted, assays $4OO per
ton in gold. Seven tons goes $500 per ton,
and the remainder pays in the mill $1O6 per
ton. A tunnel one hundred and fifiy-five
feet in length has been run in upon the
lead, which at the end thereof taps the
lead eighty-fve feet below the surface. It
is the design to push this tunnel distance
of 40 feet to the discovery shaft, at which
point it viii tap the lead to depth of 1853
feet. The mine as developed by the tunnel
is much richer than above. At the end Of
the tunnel ten and one-half feet of solid
ore has been developed without reaching
wall-rock, and this ore pays in the mill,
without asserting. Sl84 per ton. If the ore
continues unchanged until the tunnel
reaches the shaft, there will be millions in
sight, the amount Of which can be approx
imated by easy calculation. Every indica-
ton is favorable, and it is safe to predict
that the Oro Cache is the coming gold
banana mine of Montana. We congratu-
late the fortunate owners upon the splendid
ou&look;-Heleua Independent.

Suggestive Statistics.

The sales of Northern Pacific lands for
the month Of July as compared with the
same month last year, show 8 most graft
flying increase and argue the rapid devel-
opmont of the country adjacent to its land
as well as exhibiting the confidence Of land
buyers in Northwestern soil. These are
the figures: In July, 1882. $3.50 acres of
land worth $l94 $50, and $ll, $50 worth of
town lots were sold, making an aggregate
of s2O6,1 ,119. In July, 1881, the company
disposed of p, ,79G acres of land for $GG, ,3s7.
and town lots to the amount Of $7l65,
making total Of $73,542. The increase in
the number Of acres transferred is 3l,3S4,
while the excess Of receipts from the same
source is S12s,172 The increase Of money
realized from the sale Of town lots is S4,-
4O5, while the total increase is the CON-
Portable sum ofs132,579. It is interesting
to note that, although the land disposed Of
in 1882 is much farthur west and not so
near the center ofpopulation as that sold
in 1881, yet there is market increase in
the value per acre. Westward the star Of
empire takes its way"

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Henry NJ. Taylor, Deputy Sheriff Of Custer
County, Shot Down in the Dis
charge Of his Duty.

The Wound not Necessarily Dangerous.
About 9 o'clock Wednesday morning
it was rumored that Deputy Sheriff
Henry NJ. Taylor generally known as
"Muggins") had been shot at Coulson,
by a man named Lump. A HERALD
reporter was Immediately dispatched to
the scene of the shooting and cleaned
the facts in the case.
Henry Lump, who runs a laundry
just east of the Scandinavian saloon,
was in the Headquarters saloon about
half-past eight o'clock, and was 80 quar-
relsome that it became necessary to put
him out. Mr.. N. P. Fabery forced him
to leave the premises, when he went
home and in few minutes returned
with a rife in his hands. Mr.. Fabery,
who was standing in the door of the
Headquarters saloon, noticed Lump
had gun, and started to re-enter the
saloon to arm himself when Lump
called to him that he was going to shoot
him, and at the same time firing, the
ball striking the ground about six feet
from where Fabery stood. Lump
then returned to his house just as
Deputy Sheriff Taylor came up the
street.
TAYLOR'S STATEMENT.
Hearing someone call to him to hurry
as Lump was "killing his wife," he
crossed the street to Lumpp's house.
tried the door and found it fastened.
Forcing an entrance he found Lump
standing in the back room and his wife
in corner. On seeing the sheriff
Lump cried "stand back you s. of a
B." Taylor rushed up to him and
seized hold of the gun when Lump dis
charged it, the ball entering Taylor's
side. He staggered to the center of the
room and fell, when little woman, who
Mr.. Taylor thought was Lumpp's wife,
caught hold Of Lumpp's back, when he
dropped the gun.
Ere this quite a crowd had gathered
and willing hands gently picked up the
wounded man and bore him to a house
close by. Physicians were summoned,
and in few minutes DR.. Ball was by
the side of Mr.. Taylor. After removing
his clothing the wound was found to be
Just above the thigh bone, the ball en-
tering in the front left side and striking
the hip bone glanced upwards and came
out above the hip. After doing all that
could be done to relieve the wounded
man, DR.. Ball left the patient in charge
of DR.. Parker.
The physicians agree that the wound
is not necessarily dangerous one, end
are confident Of a speedy recovery.
Deputy Sheriff Taylor is a man fifty
two years of age; he mas been deputy
sheriff of this county about eight
months, and has invariably shown him
self man of great courage, pluck and
skill, and no better man for the place
could be found in the county.
The would-be murderer is krown as
hard character, is abusive to his family,
and deserves the extreme penalty of
the law. He is now in the custody.

Lynched by Cowboys.

Advices Aave been received from Fort

fire came up and commenced fighting 1t.
Bowles drove unconcernedly away, leaving
them to dispose of the fire as best they
could. After putting the fire out thecow-

More About the Leasing of the Park.

A Washington special of the Oath says:
Secretary Teller says he has not leased
the Yellowstone Park, nor had he a
right to do so. What he had done was to
grant permission to a company to build a
hotel i'll the Park and to occupy twenty
acres of ground, with the provision that
the secretary of the interior should have
the right to regulate the price charged to
visitors. No monopoly or exclusive right
had been granted, and if persons wanted to
go there and build hotels they could get
permission on exactly the same terms
granted the above company. The secrc-
tary said SO many tourists visited the Ma
ional Park every year that the building of
hotels there would be Of great benefit, and
therefore he had granted permission TO a
company to occupy limited number Of
acres at mere nominal rent Congress
had set apart the Yellowstone Park as a
national park, and it would never consent
to lease it for speculative purposes.
