ELoPING WITH A TRAMP.-A few days
since man hailing from Baltimore rented
a room in Annapolis, Md With him was
a woman, who he said was his wife. Yes
terday third party appeared on the scene
and stated that she was sister of the first
woman, that the man and her sister had
eloped, and that all hailed from Philadel-
phia. The man she said had wife and
two children in Baltimore. She had war
rant issued charging the man, whose name
she gave as Charles Aston, with adultery
IN Baltimore. Aston was arrested and taken
before the justice. He is about IS years of
age and looks like a tramp. The woman is
aged % years, and has progressing face.
TIE man promptly swore that he had no
criminal intimacy with the woman. She
refused to make similar affidavit, though
she was loath to leave her paramount. The
lwo then went to Baltimore.

The TARIFF committee of the French
Chamber of Deputies will adhere to it's
proposal to impose an increased duty on
cattle imported into France. Why, of
course it will; and the Chamber will proba-
bly, adopt its proposal. Whea this country
imposes an almos, probibitory tax upon
every thing produced in France, it is BY no
means unreasonable that France should re-
taliate. The cattle raisers of Virginia will
soon learn, if they do not already know, that
protection does not protect them.

Mr.. CHALMERS, scalawag member of the
House from Mississippi, having been re-
pudiatei not only by the democrats but
even by the negroes OF that State, has fol
lowed the example of General Malone and
Mr.. Wise, of Virginia, who have been
treated the same way, and revenges himself
upon the people of Mississippi by malinR'ng
and abusing them in thu halls of Congress.
There seems to be fatality that Southern
men who have joined the republican party
can not escape, and which sustans General
Early's assertion that the next thing to de.
sorting an army in time of war is DESERVING
q party in time of peace.

Dyspepsia simply means difficulty of di

of trouble and causes much of the worlds
misery. Difficulty is turned into ease, and
misery into comfort, by the use of Browns
Iron Bitters, the worlds great iron tonic.
This being the case, the dyspeptic invalids

Mr.. Cox, in Offering bill To increase the
duty on women's cloaks, in Congress yes
terday, attempted to justify himself, low
tariff man, upon the ground OF ''reciprocal
brigaudage." Yes, that's just what it is.
One class of manufacturers seeing the peo-
pie robbed to increase the profits of another
class no more deserving than themselves,
not unnaturally demand that the robbery
be extended for their benefit also. And 80 it
goes through the whole range Of manufac-
turers-all prof:ing at the expeuse of the
plundered people. Reciprocal brigand,

ALEXANDRIA, VA
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10:

pprs,DeSr ARTHUR, by the advice anu
consent of the New York merchants mas
negotiated commercial reciprocity treal'eS
with many foreign countries; but it is douot'
full if any of them will be made ehec'i'e a.
this session of Congress, for the reason tnat
Tho hanefts thereof will be bestowed chiefly
mon the manufacturers of the country,
who will be afforded enlarged markets for
the sale of their products. while the pro-
ducts of the agriculturists will be brought
into connection with those of The countries
referred to. The best way to increase Inc
products of this country, to increase Tue
demand for labor and thereby enhance Its
nrice and to promote the welfare OF all the
people of all the States iu the Union Will
be. not the negotiation of commercial trea-
ties with individual countries, but the re-
duction of the tariff to an amount JUST SUM-
Gent to pay the legitimate expenses OF the
Government economically administered.
When that shall be done, the cost OF living
In this country will be reduced greatly and
as foreign orders can then be paid for with
foreign goods, instead of with gold' as IS
now required, those orders will be greatly
increased, thereby increasing the demand
for labor and necessarily enhancing its pflce.

LIVE STOCK NOTES

There has been but little snow in the
Sweetwater country. .
Reports received at state headquar-
tiers from the plains are to the effect
that cattle are in prime condition, not
outstanding the recent storm.
An experienced stockman in Wis
consin says: Cattle drinking shale
water are not subject to the blackleg,
while cattle drinking surface water
from creeks or pools are at any time
liable to take the disease.
M. Lusk, owner of a fine herd of
cattle in Wyoming Is in Denver.
He received information from his
foreman yesterday that there is not
much snow around his range, and that
that the bovines were in good order.
The cattle shipped in lately by H.
W. Geddings are suffering consider
ably. They have lost three head 80
far. 1t Is reported here that John S.
Williams has lost several cattle, but as
liz Sattic dlo Oil lhI, IL uluSG De some
disease that is taking them of.-Col-
Inns Express.
A. W. Bristol reports that up to
Tuesday evening the sheep and
cattle along the various forks of
Bear creek and Horse were doing
very well. Grass was good and the
stock looked well. Snow fell to a
depth of four inches in that region yes
terday, but it was also stated that a
heavy wind uncovered the range
again.
The outlook for WyomIng's cattle is
far better than that of Colorado. Our
beeves are fatter and we have less
snow than our southern neighbor. On
ly a few Texas yearlings, which have
not yet become acclimated, seem un-
easy; but this will wear off in a short
time, and with plenty of grass, such
as we have, Wyoming's cattle next fall
will astonish Chicago buyers.

Sidney Brace braced up a little too
much night before last on ''cold tea"
or something of that sort, and con-
cluded to take in the skating rink and
see how people looked on wheels. At
that place a few pretty healthy ex-sui-
cides, late of the Cheyenne Sun, were
met by him, and they went from that
place to the fair and sought admission.
which was refused. Constable Nolan,
who was on the trail of Brace, advised
the women to go home, which they
did, and the officer took Mr. Brace to
the calaboose. Yesterday he was
brought before Judge Lee. who braced
up Brace to the extent of s26, costs and
all. He feels better now, and perhaps
will not go on the warpath again very
soon.

A joint resolution passed both houses
of the Legislature yesterday making OBJ
ligatory upon the official legislative re-
porter to furnish each paper of the ter.
ritory with copies of all bills intro
duced in either branch Of the legisla-
ture, after the same have been printed.
This idea, We understand, originated
with DR.. Hayford, Of the Laramie Sem
tinel, and is a very good one; and yet,
it would perhaps have been better to
have required a brief synoptical state
ment of what each bill introduced COM
prehends and is intended for. Most
bills before they are printed, have COM
mitted 10 their support more or less of
the members of the legislature, and If
it is obnoxious TO the people, or Is not
what they want, and If the purport Of
the bill is not ascertained before 1t
passes through the hands of the COM
mittee and the printer, 1t is sometimes
hard work to defeat it, where 1t ought
to be SO dealt with. The constituents
of the legislator ought to know as
soon as possible what he is trying to do,
and the legislator ought to know as
soon as possible whether his constitu-
ency approve OF his course, and If not,
what it is that they do want.

Quite a discussion of an informal
character, of course, took place In the
legislative council room yesterday after
noon, after the adjournment of the
council, in regard to some needed
amendments to the assessment law.
Several Of the members of the council
participated, and also Mr.. w. w.
Jeffrey, the county assessor.
The particular difficulty with the law
as it now stands is that after personal
property, cattle for instance, is assessed
and before the taxes are due the owner
OF the same may sell out and leave the
country, and thus the county lose the
tax on said property.
How to remedy the difficulty seemed
to be the question. No particular plan
was suggested, SO far as our reporter
could gather, and yet the remedy
would seem simple enough. There are
two ways that the difficulty could be
obviated. Either make the tax after
levy made of the same a hen on the
property itself, or else adopt the plan
pursued in some states and territories,
and require the tax to be first paid be-
fore a valid title can pass from the ven
der to the vendee. BY SO doing a
transfer could not be made and would
not be made 30 as to deprive the county
of a portion Of its revenue, to which it
is justly entitled. This plan might at
first glance seem impractical, but on
reflection it will be discovered that it
is, at all events, a remedy for the pres
ent existing evil.

There was a new bill introduced yes
terday morning in the house-the house
of Hon. John F. Coad-being house
bill No. 7. 1t was a bill to amend the
very civil Coad by adding additional
happiness thereto. 1t was read by title
but the printing rule was waived and
it was at onec referred to the committee
On ENDORSEMENTS. Report was soon re-
ceIyed that the bill vas duly engrossed
and it was at once presented to the
household. 1t was heard the second
and third time and was unanimously
adopted.
Speaker Coad pronounces 1t a very
fair act, and ohe that promises well to
achieve the object Of its existence. 1t
is almost unnecessary to say that the
govern-ess duly approved the bill, SC
that 1t is now an amendment to the
Coad-family. 1t is a matter Of con.
graduation that it was introduced and
adopted on the same day. What John
will call the new arrival is not known,
but In honor to the house, he should
entitle 1.-THE boy William that he might
be called Bill.

The time is coming sooner or later
when Cheyenne will be quite a manu-
featuring town. We have already one
of the finest wagon and carriage manu-
tories in the far west-that of Coff-
man & Co., where just as fine work is
done as anywhere west of Chicago.
Then there is the wagon shop of c.
Rogers, the planning mills of Weybrecht,
the gun mandatory of Freund's, the
manufacturing jewelry house of Zehner,
Jackson q Buechner, etc. Though
not, strictly speaking, a manufacturing
house yet, the establishment of the
Wyoming Meat company, where large
quantities of meat is canned for the
eastern market, ought, perhaps to be
classed in this category. Altogether,
while making no pretensions in this
direction at present, the time may
before long when Cheyenne will
take quite a prominent place in the list
of those towns and cities Of the far
west where manufacturing is claimed
among the leading industrial pursuits
Of its Inhabitants.
