En2Iand's Queen Grown tsav.

Almost for the first time since the death of
the Prince Consort. writes London CORE
spondent, it is given cut that tie Queen is to
be in society. Her majesty has paraded her
grief long enough. She still wears her widow g
cap and her senIi-mourning gowns. She has
left the London season to take care of itself
and the shopkeepers have endured this disad-
vantage as long as Christian virtue will sane
ton For IS years al! the public appearances Of
the Queen have been received with less and
less expressions Of enthusiasm and loyalty. Re-
Gently, when, IN person. her majesty opened
the new law courts, the royal carriage was al
most wholly unsaluted. Indeed, the air of the
popu'ace was Indifferent II not sullen. The
Queen was not only struck by the Indifference
| OF her subjects. but grew apprehensive 1t is
supposed that for the first time In these 20 wears
she took in the situation and realized that she
has duties to her capital and to her subjects as
well as prerOgatives growing out Of her crown.
1t had been the purpose and plan of the Queen
to again go to the south Of France for these un-
congenial spring months, aud 1t had been given
out that she would do so. Her reception by
the people at her last public appearance brought
her to a lively sense after all, of the thrones
dependence upon the peoplein these latter DAYS.
st once she decided to remain in London for a
considerable part Of the season. and to cause
the season to be very exceptionally gay.

LIFE ON THE PLAINS.
How Cattle Men Roll up Wealth.

An Eastern man met one Of the cattle kings
OF wyoming Territory In Cheyenne the other
day. The cattle king had made his pile and
gone out OF cattle raising, and he sat down
TO give the Eastern man q little Of the true
inwardness Of the business.
"You have come to Cheyenne to Investigate
the cattle business, have your And you want
to know how the cattle raisers make their

here. In 1877 bought 1000 Texas COWS. 80

bi anded $50 calves. / then had on the range
400, and on my books 1900. The third year
the range was eaten out, or at least was not so
fresh as when first went in, and | lost twenty

cows and hefers for $1,000 At the end of the
third year l had on the range 1,4sO cattle. and

time had been about ss coo year, or $4,000

drawn out of the herd $500 l had got all
my money back and had over 1000 half breed or
improved cattle on the range. From this time
on it would only cost me So to raise three

$40; but the range was getting bad, and ali the
ranges in the territory being taken up there

to Cheyenne to find buyer. 1 soon found a

off from my books $50 head for loss, and sold

A TRYING TEST.
A Time-Lock Prevents the Opening of
q Bank Vault.
From the Denver Tribune.

From the Denver Tribune.
strange thing occurred at the City National
Bank, in this city, a few days ago. AS is well
known, this corporation moved into its new
quarters at the corner of 18th and Law
renee streets, quite recently. The vaults there
are new ones, with the latest improved and
combination locks. The officers are thoroughly
familiar with the workings of the locks. but
they being new cannot be held responsible for
any unsatisfactory workings. A few days
ago, when the proper time had ar
rived, an effort was made to unlock
and open the main vault. but after some time
spent in unsuccessfully trying the combination it
was discovered that something was wrong. and
that the bolts held fast where they had been
lodged Meanwhile drafts and checks had been
pouring In, and all the available money had
beenpad out. More were coming in. and inn
mediate action was necessary. telegram " as
at once sent to the vault manufacturers for an
expert to unlock the door, and another tele-
gram explaining the case was sent east for
money. The other banks heard of the circum-
stances and they offered Mr. Hanna all the
money he desired. He gratefully accented
the offer, but afterward found that he had no
use for the loans. For three days the bank
transacted business with its vault doors
closed. and without some Of the books
most used. The strangest part of the
affair was that very few Inconvenience were
felt. During those three days business was
done, aud 1t was on the right side to suit the
circumstances. After paying all the drafts made
upon them the officers Of the bank found that
they had surplus of So, 600 upon their hands
that amount being the sum taken in during the
three days over and above the money paid
The complications in the combination showed
the bank officials that their credit was unlim-
tied, and they have reason to congratulate them
selves upon their lucky escape and financial
standing.
Had the circumstances been different from
what they were no one can tell what the con-
sequences would have been. Had some alarm
list been reused payment and told to call again
the rumor would have gone out that the bank
was in bad way, insolvent, ETC., and an ag-
gravating run would have ensued

A Night Run OF Cattle.

Last fall large herd of big steers for market
were being driven across the country from
Musselshell to Billings, on the Northern Pacific
railroad, where they were to be shipped on the
cars for Chicago. There were about 2 600 head,
should judge, the property of a Mr.. De Hass, a
very young man. One evening military camp
had been made just ahead Of the cattle. and on
the same side of the creek with them. up which
the herd was being driven. A storm was coming
up, and the cattle exhibited some SIGNS Of
uneasness. Mr.. De Hass sent word to the mill
tary officer that he had better get his men.
wagons, and animals On the opposite side of the
creek and out OF the way, as he feared there
was going to be ai'night run" The herders
were instructed to keep their horses saddled
and be ready to mount at moments notice
The cattle were very uneasy, getting up, lying
down again, and shifting about.
At last about midnight, there came a sharn
fash of lightning, followed by a heavy neal Of
thunder, and in an instant the whole herd were
upon their feet. 'Mount and whip Quit" cried
De Hass and the herder who was at the head Of
the column drove off few of the leading steers
IN the direction they were to go. ALI the others
followed, and the herd was soon in tull fight.
The herders made no effort to check or control
them further than to keep them going straight:
they rode at the head of the column one on
each side Of them swung to the right or left to
keep the trail; bluffs and precipices were avoid
Gu, anu Tie open ua1 ground courted. The run
lasted about two hours, when gorge was being
neared. in which the cattle would crowd and
break their limbs. They were now ouite tired
and the herders determined to exert their
authority and stop the run. The head of the
column was bent out on the prairie aud ercled
round and round until the cattle became tied up
in huge ball and could not move at ALL
In this way they were Obliged to stand until
morning, the herders riding round and round
them, and keeping them completely tied up At
daylight they were allowed to ..open out -
First, the outer edge scattered. then layer after
layer, until the huge pile of beef was a herd
grazing as quietly as e nothing had happened.
