GOVERNOR HOYT of Wyoming Terri tory thus explains the origin of femal, suffrage there: "A saloon keeper one day said to his wife: Betty 1t Is a shame that I should be a member of tn Legislature and make laws for you when yOu are SO much better than l. or course Betty agreed with him. When this man went to work on his bill for woman suffrage people smiled and tbe members of the Legislature smiled. But he was a shrewd man. He went to the Democratic members and said H ere, you might as well vote for this, because even if 1t does pass, which is doubtful, the Republican Governor will veto 1t and you can thus show your hberalty' He told the Republican members that the bill would not pass and that they had better put themselves on the good side of the record anyway. The result astOnished everybody. The bill passed by great majority, and the Governor, John A. Campbell, signed it.. The next Legislature tried to repeal the bill but couldn't"

How an Empty stomach Saved his Bacon.

No regiment from New Hampshire suffered more, in action, than the l2th, and narrower squeak for life than that of Captain-but better known as Elder -DuTgIn, Is not often recorded. In one of the many engagements that the l2th participated in, he was struck by bullet which literally bored a hole through him, just above the stomach. He fell ID his tracks, uidst n heap of killed and wounded, and Wss left for dead m the field. A column of the enemy advancing with qnlck step moved directly over the ground, and as they were marching by, he was barely able to make a motion sufficient tO attract the attention of one, confederate captain, who stopped, looked at him pityngly, and said, Poor fellow you are booked though. ] can't help you, but I'll at least put you out Of the way of fuIt ther harm; SO, suIting the action of the words, he took him tenderly in his arms, carried him some distance one side, and placed aim in a sitting posture, with his back against tree. This saved his life, as he was shortly afterwards found, treated for his wound, and ultimately recovered. The surgeon saId that had he had his breakfast tha. morning, he would assuredly have been killed. IhIrty-siN hours abstinence. heinz short Of rations, had contracted the stomach and saved his life. So the Elder lives, and IS the life of the annus reunions.

Of an Infamous Law Makes sn Ap7eal-can no
 Relief B. Given this Man2
 TUcsoS JAIL, April 29th, 1882. EDITOR CITIZEN: Having read an ar- ticle in your valuable paper Of the 2Sth. termed An Infamous Abuse" am con- strained to give you a brief account Of my incarceration, by unfortunately be- ing q witness in the case of Arizona Ter ritory vs. Sang Lee, for murder. The Grand Jury found a bill against the said Sang Lee, but for some reason the case was not tried at this last term of Court, but was postponed until the next term of Court. Now the facts are these: am a man of family, having 6 wife and seven children who are entirely depend ant upon my labor for support Being an entire stranger in Tucson, and being in impecuniOus circumstances, I am unable to give bond, which is $500. As regards fare, 1t Is the same as that of the other prisoners, and my privileges are no more than the rest. l am confined in the cell wit the rest of the pris- oners, allowed two meals per day and that nothing to boast of. and one hour allowed in the yard for eating each meal My case was brought to the District Attorneys notice some weeks ago, but no attention has heen given 1t as vet. II liberated I am perfectly able to obtain work at once whereby l could support myself and family. Is there noth- ing that can be done or am I doomed to lay here in this jail six months with possibility, aye even a probability of staying six months longer, for the case may be postponed to another term2 Will you please publish this and oblige one who needs a friend?
 Very respectfully,
 OWEN RIoRDAY. The editor of this paper knows noth- ing about the case of the writer of the above communication except the state ments therein contained; but if the facts are correctly stated and the man Is deprived of hls liberty upon ID crime committed by or charged against him other than that Of having been a witness to another mans crime, whether he is incarcerated with or with out the sanction of law, we denounce it as an act of injustice and tyranny utterly repugnant to the spirit of a free govern ment, and every person with the least spark of manhood or respect for humanity should unite in demanding his release.
 And furthermore We give notice that no man, be he Republican or Democrat, need expect the support of this paper for me nber of the Legislature unless he is ready to wipe from our statute books tbe infamous law which permits the im- prisonment of witnesses, whlci twin relict of bar barism with the law allowing imprisonment for debt.-I ED.

This conclusion the facts will warrant, and 1t now looks as fl nothing was going to be done to retrieve the reputation of the army in Arizona or the Department Commander.

THE extent of the new Northwestern wheat region cannot now be estimated. nor its future production fOreseen. IL appears to include nearly the whole of Dakota east of the Missouri rIver, and considerable portion of the western half of the Territory. How far north and west in Ma itOba it reaches will only be determined as settlement advances m that little known province One thing IS tO be borne m mind about this region
 1t is the ultimate and pc rmHnent wheat field of the continent. The wheat grow ing industry has been steadily moving west for more than half a century. Western New York aud Eastern Penn sylvania were once the great wheat sec tons. The Ohio had its turn. Now the cOuntIes of that State which forty years ago shipped large quantities of wheattO to the East do not 'aIse enough to sup ply their own population with bread. Afterward Indiana, Southern Michigan, Northern Illinois and Wisconsin made wheat the chief crop, to be succeeded by Iowa and now by Minnesota, Nebraska and Dakota. The wheat belt cannot move much further west. It will soon reach the great grassy plains. where there Is no sufficient rainfall for success ful agriculture. Beyond the Rocky Mountains, in Oregon and Washington Territories, new wheat country of im- mense extent IS being slowly devellpe but on the Atlantic side Oi the continent the area where wheat farming is the chief industry, will not be pushed much. bey yOnd the present limits of Dakota. The rich lands in the valley of the Red river of the North, and the vast rolling plains of Dakota and Manitoba, ara evidently destined to be a permanent granary, like Hungary and Southern Russia. | American Miller
