A WEATHER PROPHET.
How He Failed to Hit the BULBS Eye
On the First shot.

A young gentleman who has some as
pirations to become the Vennor of Chey-
enne, if not of the whole territory, cor
raled a LEADER reporter yesterday and
propounded this conundrum
Say, do you know that it always rains
on the tenth of May"
The reporter lodged into a vacant door
way to escape the heavy drops of rain
that were falling at the moment and
hauled the weather prophet in with him.
DO you mean to say there's no cx-
ception to the rule ?" inquired the re-
porter.
Never. You just watch it. See the
thunder storm to-day. This is the tenth
you know. It's always this way on the
tenth of May each year"
What the cause of it ?"
Don't know, but it always happens that
way just as hard"
Later in the day the reporter dropped
into the Signal Service office and found
Mr.. Michau wrestling with his daily re-
port. When asked in regard to the rainy
weather every tenth of May, Mr.. Michau
said
II don't believe there's anything in it,
but I'll soon see.
Then he tished out his old annual re
ports and discovered that outside of yes
terday there has only been a single rain
fall of any character on the day in ques-
ton in this neighborhood for the past
ten years.
The prophet had probably better take a
reef or two in his weather predictions.

A GAY TIME.


The children of the public school yes
terday observed IN Arbor day of their
own on the school house ground. Each
little boy and girl who had been fortunate
enough to get hold of a little money or to
prevail on their parents to give them
some, purchased tree and had it planted
in the ground back of the school grounds.
Mr.. Fisk brought a lot of trees to the
school house grounds in the morning and
had them arraigned in n temporary ditch
near the eastern side of the grounds, and
boy and girl made the selection of the
tree they fancied. Professor Stark was
found by THE LEADER reporter in the
afternoon with his coat off digging away
with as much earnestness as used to be
evinced in digging rife pits around Rich
mond during the days of the rebellion.
Richard Darbin was also there assisting,
and there were besides two or three other
parties around with shovels in their
hands. A very large number of trees
were planted during the afternoon but
just how many could not be easily ascer-
tanned.
The children enjoyed the occasion very
much and many a little heart felt proud
and full of gladness when the tree their
childish favor had selected was planted in
the ground to hereafter become, when
many years have come and gone, a land
mark which will serve to remind them of
those happiest of all times-the school
DAYS.

were immense ones, and probably the

CURED in the history of or within the
Territory of Wyoming.
The sales aggregated in all more than
25O,OO acres, and to several different
parties who at present prefer not to
have their names mentioned. As these
sales are not public property, until the
deeds are made out and filed parties have
the right and privilege of course, of not

there appears to be great interest taken

TALK ABOUT BUTLER.
The Gossip at WashingtOn-s'Gath
GicRl.fn9s-RTa@gss Idea.


CINCINNATI, July 3.-The Enquirers spe
cial from Gath at Chicago has the following
points about Gen. Butler as Democratic
possibility:
Butler means business, or his friends do,
aud he will arrive here next Saturday night
on the evening train, and be met by an enor-
nous torchliSht procession of the labor or
CARNATIONS 1t is claimed that there will be
rs 900 men marching. His name begins to be
talked about in the hotels and saloons, and
even ON Change.
"Gath" adds that in conversation with
Plympton, Buffers manager, he said that the
general 'can carry every state that any other
Democrat can carry. This talk about
his not carrying the southern states
is absurd When Greeley ran for
president the war was just over,
and the war feelings and prejudices
were very strong in the SOUTH and these were
aroused against Greeley, who had been ex-
tremely radical and promiscuous in his utter
ances But the war is ancient history now,
and Butler has friends all through the south
ern states who are familiar with his record
as governor Of Massachusetts,, and of
the gallant battle he has made there, of the
enormous Democratic vote he has built up,
and OF the issues which have gathered into
the Democracy all the persons opposed to
monopolies and tyrannies and in favor at
the just rights of labor and of reforms of a
practical sort"
Further Mr.. Plympton said: Butler is IN
favor of reduced tariff, but not of theoreti-
cal free trade. The platform on which he
stands was carefully considered, and it takes
the ground that the people favor indirect du-
ties sufficient in amount to administer an
economical government and if any partiality
is shown in levying those duties it shall be to
aid labor"
''Gath" continues: Another person who was
present at this interview said to me later
1.-THE Democrats who come to Chicago ought
to be a little careful about their references to
Gen. Butler He is not the man at this stage
of the game to be called hard names after
his services" He added that his work for
the Democracy in New England entitled
him to great consideration and his Democracy
is thorough.
CHICAGO, July 3-Gen. E. S. Bragg, a
Wisconsin delegate-at-large to the Demo
cratic national convention, said to a reporter:
'sWell, now, there are worse men than Ben
Butler. shouldn't feel very sorry if he was
nominated Run well? Yes, he would run
like the ID in some sections, and not SO
well in Others There are many Democrats
who would hate to vote for Butler. l am not
one of them though

settles the MATTER, ~ rrue.

NEW York, July "A special dispatch
from Cincinnati to The Evening Post says
Governor Hoadly, who is just home from the
east, had an interview in New York with Til
den. and asked: ''If the Chicago convention
dominates you by reclamation, would you
not accept under the circumstances"
Tilden said: mo, governor, cannot ac-
cept. | would reiterate what have already
said, that cannot and will not accept under
any circumstances"
CHICAGO, July 3.-The Times special
from Topeka, Kan, says: There seems to be
growing sentiment in this state that the old
ticket is the only sure one that can defeat
Blaine and Logan. In conversation with a
Democratic delegate he said; eve will
nominate Tilden and he will accept, and then
he will he triumphantly elected" This gen
tleman went TO New York a short time ago
and had an interview with the sage. His
pronounced belief in Tilden's acceptance of a
unanimous nomination is regarded here as
good authority.

EDWARD S. THOMAS was a Chicago

which he had not the shadow of title,
for her grocery store. She did not
weakly cry about it, but she pursued Mr..
Thomas with such vigor that she has just
had him sent to the penitentiary for three
years. The court room was filed with
victims whom Thomas had plundered,
but none of them had the grit OF the
grocery keeper. Now we shall look to
see if the court will not give him new
trial, from which he will escape by a
"technicality' This is the usual course
of Chicago justice, and after 1t is done
the papers will solemnly declare that our
