BEEcHER AND THE BApr1srs::-

BEEcHER AND THE BAPTIsTs.-
A contemporary says: Whenever
Brother Beecher talks he is apt to say
something fresh and refreshing. As
be grows older be mellows like the
best Burgundy and he likes to see
other clergymen as mellow as he is
himself The other day Mr.. Beecher
had occasion to deliver an address be-
fore an assemblage of Baptist divines.
1t is evidence of the broader spirit
which obtains in modern churches
that the Baptists were eager to hear
Mr.. Beecher, for the time was when
feeling was too bitter and prejudice
too great to allow of it in spite of his
eloquence. 1t is certainly cause for
-congratulation that this narrowness
and bigotry are passing away, and
the greater part of Mr.. Beecher's adj
dress was devoted to congratulating
the Baptists upon the change. De
nominational differences in this coun-
try are not important enough to quar-
rel over, and Brother Beecher and
the Baptists have set,S good example
TO other clergyman and denomina-
tions.n

"A DWELLING owned and occupied
by Mrs. Carrie Thompson, in Center
vile, was struck by lightning Tues
day, and she was stunned. A barn
belonging to J. II. Hall, on Corsica
creek, was also struck" Queen
Anne's seems to be an attractive
place for electricity. About two
years ago, if we mistake not, young
lady just from boarding school was
instantly killed, while another was
temporarily paralyzed, and other
members of the family more or less
stunned. We should think this a
good place for the lightning rod
man.

IMPORTANT.
A Fast Mail Service Secured by the Union
Pacific Railroad Company.

Arrangements were effected yester-
day by the Union Pacific railroad
company and the Burlington fast mail
line authorities by which, hereafter,
fast mail service is to be extended
through to the western terminus of the
Union Pacific railroad. This is impor-
tant to us here in Cheyenne, especially
as from this time on the No. l train
will bring the postal car containing the
mails so that instead of receiving the
mails from the east in the morning at
s. 15 as heretofore, we shall get the
same mail the evening before at $40.
This arrangement goes into effect to-
day, so that this evening our letters,
papers and postal cards and all other
mail matter, which otherwise and I'M
der the arrangement heretofore existing
we would not get until tomorrow morn
ing, will arrive In Cheyenne. Great
credit is due to the Union Pacific au-
thorities for effecting this arrangement
and it is a very important item for
Cheyenne.

The stock association, from a desire
to serve the best interests of all stock
growers in the territory, publish else
where in this issue the two maverick
laws. The object of this is TO inform
all parties as to the nature,and intent
of said laws. In an addendum, the ex-
ecutiye committee cordially invite all
growers of stock, whether members OF
not of the association, to be present at
the spring meeting and express their
views. The executive committee assert
that ''the association is DESTROYS Of not
ibjuring any mans interests" and are
doubtless willing to meet the small
dealer and all outside of characterization
on a basis which cannot help but be
satisfactory to all concerned. The
LEADER heartily concurs in this action
o n the part of the committee and is
decidedly of the opinion that benefcIa al
results will follow.

Another Mountain Lion Killed.

A hunter by the name of Burns came
in to the city yesterday bringing with
him the skin of a monstrous mountain
lion lately shot and killed by him near
the little hamlet of Fairbanks, in the
Hartville mining district. The skin
measures seven and one-half feet from
the tip of the nose to the tip of the
tail, and therefore when alive he must
have been a monster for an animal OF
that kind. The hunter was accom-.
panied by a companion when the ami.
NAL was killed, and at the same time
they came in contact with another lion
much larger than the one shot, which
had a name nearly a foot and a hall
long, so far as they could judge, an
unusual specimen of a mountain lion
in this country. They fired at and
crippled this one also but he managed
to make his escape.

A bold attempt at burglary was
made by a party named g. H. Rody,
at the Cheyenne house, on Themes
street, yesterday morning at about 3
O'Clock.
The burglar, who it seems is a
stranger in the city, in some way eff
fected an entrance into the house and
made his way upstairs unseen or at
least unnoticed by anyone. He found
his way into one of the sleeping apart
ments where a boarder named Peter
Monroe was sleeping at the time. Just
at this juncture, however, A. B. Nc
Elroy, another boarder who had just
returned to the hotel, came up stairs
and tiled to get in at the door as he
too slept in this room. Rody held the
door for a short time but then left it
and crouched down in the corner. Nc
Elroy rushed in and found him trying
to hide behind some of the furniture of
the room, but got hold of him when a
scuffie ensued and they both worked
their way out into the hall where Rody
struck McElroy a powerful blow on the
side Of the head but the former would
not release his grasp, and although the
burglar was a large, powerful man, he
held him until his roommate, who had
by this time awakened, could dress and
come to his assistance. The two very
soon ~overpowered the robber and he
was marched to the calaboose and
turned yer to Officers Sullivan and
Smith, who proceeded to lock him up.
While on his way to the lock up he
offered his captors 1875 to release him
but the offer was, of course, declined.
He did not succeed in getting away
with anything Of value. but when
caught he had proceeded far enough to
get the pocket-book out of Monroe's
pants pocket.
Rody was brought before Judge
Fisher yesterday forenoon on the charge
of attempted burglary, County Attor-
ney Baird appearing for the territory.
The testimony of McElroy and Monroe
and also Of Mr.. Howard House, the
proprietor of the hotel, was taken and
the defendant was held to bail in the
sum Of $500. In default of bail he was
committed.

JUDGE BLAIR,
He Arrives In ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In Regard to Federal Appoint
ments, Etc.

Judge Jacob Blair, who was expected
on Thursday night, arrived in Chey-
enne yesterday morning and later on
was interviewed by the LEADER re-
porter in regard to matters and things
at Washington. His re-appointment as
associate justice of the supreme court
of this territory had been decided upon
by the president before he left the
capital, but as is usual in such cases it
will first be submitted to the cabinet
before his name is sent to the senate.
At the cabinet meeting held just before
the judges departure, Attorney Gen
eral Brewster was absent in Philadel-
phia, and as all judicial appointments
come more especially under the super
vision of the department of justice
then the matter was not presented to
the cabinet at that time for the reason
above stated.
There seems to be no doubt, how
ever, about his appointment, although
it has not as yet been officially an
nounced.
Reference was had to the charges
that NJ. .. Brown made against him,
and the judge said hat he was glad
the charges had been so made for he
had not only been completely vindi-
Gated but the investigation had in his
Judgment resulted very disasterously to
those who made them. Said the judge:
THE special agent before he
left Washington came to me and
asked me If there were any
particular parties in Laramie City
which l desired him to see in ms be-
half. 1 said yes, there is one certain
man there L hope you will see, and 1
will tell you where you will find him.
When you get off the train at Laramie
City, and you start up the street, the
first man you meet is the man l want
you to find"
The matter of the appointment of
surveyor general of Wyoming had been
deferred by the president and would
not be acted upon for some time yet.
1HS JNNko oaid, III lOiClClSD W bhb
United States attorneyship, that he IN
derstood in Washington hat Mr.. T. NJ.
Fisher, of Cheyenne, was a candidate,
and subsequently heard the same in
reference to Captain Mcintyre. He
heard nothing said about Mr.. Mann or
his chances of reappointment. Mr..
Morgan will, without any question, be
his own successor. The universal SEN
timent among the republicans in Wash
ington, the judge said, was in favor of
Bob Lincoln fer the second place on
the national ticket. For the first posi-
tion there were three who seemed to
have each a pretty strong following,
Arthur, Logan and Blaine. He thought
there was but little chance for Sher-
man. The judge remained in the city
until evening, when he took the west
ern-bound train for Laramie City.

Hon. M. E. Post has introduced the
following bill in the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington:
A BILL
Extending the jurisdiction of Justices
of peace in Wyoming territory.
Be 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representative of the United
States of America in congress assem-.
bled, That justices of the peace in the
territory of Wyoming shall not have
jurisdiction of any matter in contro-
versy where the debt or sum claimed
exceeds three hundred dollars.
SEC. 2. That all laws and parts of
laws in conflict with this enactment be,
and the same are hereby, repealed.
AS the law now stands, justices OF
the peace in this territory are limited
in their jurisdiction to cases where a
sum not exceeding one hundred dollars,
is in controversy, or il the title to
property Is in dispute it shall not ex-
coed that amount in value. If this
bill should become a law the office of
justice OF the peace in this territory
will be a very important Office, and we
may therefore look for a good many
candidates for that position hereafter.

Night before last an unknown party
made his way into the Western hotel
unobserved and succeeded in effecting
an entrance into some of the sleeping
apartments up stairs, where be pro-
ceeded to go through the pockets of
some of the boarders who were asleep
at the time. From one boarder he OBJ
tanned S4.s5, from another 800, and
FROM still another $40. One of the
number woke up while the robber was
in his room but fearing that the mar
auder was armed, while he was not, he
made no attempt to capture him. He
finally escaped from the house and has
not as yet been arrested. The police,
however, are on the look out for him.

SICKLY SUN SHINE.
Radiation Of Rotten Rays-Nothlng If
Not Nasty and NiggardIy.

That fOul sluBh sewer, the sun or
Cheyenne. is fairly fostering with the
foulest Of foul filth. There are not
enough deodorizers in town to neutral
ize its sickening stencil. Like a glue
factory or a bone-boiling establishment,
it ought to be speedily removed to the
remote outskirts. 1t might advan-
~tageously be anchored in "Chicago"
until all the gangrened bilge water is
pumped from its sinking hulk. The
peculiar pet item it grandiloqusntly pub
lished yesterday from this peculiar
quarter of the city was unquestionably
very entertaining to the bulk of its
readers, and the majority of them re-
side in that selectly sinful section Of
our city. 1t knows the taste of its
customers to a Ia nicely, and it dishes
its debasing dirt out accordingly. All
who handle filth necessarily become
soiled, and any one touching this
slouchy, Shiny and sickly sheet is liable
to become seriously soiled. The better
class OF its readers know this, and they
are becoming beautifully less and de-
cidedly smaller by gradual degrees,
and o o they'll be like the little end
Of nothing, whitfield down to a fine
point; and this, especially, If it seeks
TO uphold heartless harlots by giving
credence to their d%etestable statements
that church people sneakingly form
designations in their dirty dives and
dens. A daily paper that would thus
besmirch virtue to exonerate vice
the beloved dead. But birds of a
feather flock together and people are
judged by the company they keep. So
it is with the Sun. The vile and the
vicious are its especial care. 1t frater-
nizes with them and glories in their
immortality. The darker the sin the
more it gloats over its infamy. The
more henious the deed, the greater Its
glory. Without sin, it could have no
sensation. 1t sacrifices the good to
uphold the bad. Satan is given the
select seat in its soulless sanctum. 1t
wouldn't hesitate to turn ministers of
the gospel over to the king of evil to
make cord wood for his fiery furnace.
In fine, il the demon ran put of
sulphur, it would seek to supply
him with a cargo of it, if it could
exact a promise from him that he
would ignite it in front of churches to
smoke the ~worshipers out or smother
them at their devotions. Such is the
sinful Sun. 1t evidently owns a few
square acres in the Internal regions,
and to fill them up rapidly, is running
an emigration scheme of its own, hand
and glove with old nick. 1t is an un
cody sheet, always serving SIN and
Satan-sometimes openly and some
times beneath a flimsey mask. 1t gen.
orally prefers the latter method to hide
its fearful face. The LEADER frowns
upon sin; consequently it frowns upon
the SUM We believe the devil isn't as
black as he is painted, but the job of
painting hasn't been completed on the
scabby and scaley Sun which shines
phos phorescently like a decayed mack
erel upon a dark night, emitting about
the anne kind of a sickening stencil.
The Sun should nc longer shine in sin.
