A national republican convention is .
poor place for faction to undertake to
attend, who declare that their candidate
must be nominated or they will bolt the
ticket. National conventions don't scare
worth cent. Tho men who 60 there TO
play the bully learn quickly that they
have como to the wrong place. The roar
thek went up in the Cincinnati conventisn
q l676 when Ingersoll came down upon
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-05-07

The Tribune says; ''Only one squad
of men have tried to bully the party. and
they happen to be all anxious for the nom-
ination Of Senator Edmunds. In any other
convention we have ever seen, this would
put an end to all chance of his nomination
Whether the forthcoming convention will
prefer to have its choice dictated by 8
few persons who threaten to elect dem
ocras il they cannot have their own way
we shall see in due time"

The preferences OF the Rhode Island
national delegates have been variously
given. the Providence Press says that "the
delegation. as whole. can be reckoned
as a Blaine delegation, and in all proba-
bility. as long as James G. Blaine stands
"a fighting chance to secure the Chicago
nomination. the Rhode Island delegates
can be relied upon as among the number
of his staunchest supporters"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-05-07

The Philadelphia Press says: "Mr.
Blaine is stronger to-day than ever before,
partly because of the popular sense that
he has been wronged. and that in the
wrong to him the popular will has been
trampled on. The American people like
fair play. and il will be wise all around
to show fair play both in discussion and
in action"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1884-05-07

The New York Evening Post having
taken the Times of that city to task for rep
resenting Blaine as having more strength
than Arthur the Times says: "Mr. Blaine
is stronger than Mr.. Arthur in the num-
Der of delegates elected. and that TACT
seems to justify us in allowing him to
appear So"

a CoIored Boys Presence ofmind Saves
Ills Neck.


While /. Il. Brcsnahcns delivery
wagon was standing in front of his place
on Sixteenth street yesterday the horse
attached to it, one that is generally very
steady, got frightened at something on
the street and started TO run away. A
colored boy, who is usually called
Smoky made an attempt to stop him
and succeeded in catching the horse by
the bit. Instead of stopping the fright
ened horse turned quickly around and
started toward Ferguson street. Smoky
chung to him, however. As soon as
Ferguson street was reached the horse
struck out toward the railroad track at a
fearful rate. The situation of Smoky was
now perilous, as it was almost as much
as his life was worth to let go.
An attempt was made to head the horse
off, but it was OF no avail. But Smoky
was equal to the emergency and as the
horse made a sudden lungc toward the
sidewalk Smoky climbed almost upon the
horses head in an instant, and swung
himself off with an extraordinary effort
and succeeded in alighting upon the
ground just beyond the range of the
wheels of the vehicle. The horse kept on
his way and after running for several
blocks up and down a portion ofFifteenth
and Sixteenth streets, wa finally stopped
without having done any damage. 1t was
a close call for Smoky.

Mr.. w. NJ. Ferguson left a sack of ore
at Collins harness shop in care of Mr..
Lewis, from the King Devil lode silver
crownm mining camp. There are eight dis
tinct lodes within the same claim, so far as
discovered, carrying copper, gold and sill
yer, running in assays from 500 to sl2O
per on. An expert from Utah examined
the mine a few days since and stated that
the ore was much superior to the average
u of ore in that locality. Many of the
lodes are from four to six feet wide, and
one 50 far as discovered, Is ten feet to
boundaries having not been determined
yet, the lode pitching into the side of Il

The Registers Communication to the
Land Department..

The following is the full text Of the
letter sent by Register Il. w. Mann to the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
at Washington yesterday:
CHEYENNE, Wyo., July II, 1854.
ITO the Honorable Commissioner of the General
Land Ohce. Washington. D. c..
"SIR,-l enclose herewith an extract
clipped from the Denver Republican of
the 10th inst, which contains, as you will
see, Il serious charge against me. In regard
to this matter | have to say that in the
community where | reside it is unnecces-
sary for me to say that the statements in
regard to me are utterly false, but the
charges may be believed by people who do
not know me, and 1 therefore request
that an investigation may be ordered at
once, ifiL has not already been, for the
purpose of testing the truth or falsity of
tho accusation. | am about to retire
from the Office which l have held for
more than the last four years past, and
this, 50 far us l know, is the only charge
that has been made against me. 1t is,
therefore, due to me that ! should have
an opportunity to prove that the charges
made are false and malicious and made
with a view of ~iniuring me in business
and reputation, and | claim that such is
the case. | claim further that the parties
instigating said charges are utterly un-
priucipled and irresponsible, and animated
by an unfriendly feeling toward me.

raius the opening proceedings of the Pan
Presbyterian Council. DR.. Watts, of Ire
land "a graduate of Princeton, n. j.,
preached the opening sermon. George
Junkcn, Esq, of Philadelphia. was
chosen chairman for the first day. In the
evening the Mayor of Belfast gave the
delegates a reception at the Botanic
Gardens and welcomed them in a very elo-
quent address. DIR. George p. HAYS, of
Denver, Colo, and late moderator of the
general assembly, delivered the address in
behalf of the American churches. His
address was frequently responded to by
applause and the English exclamation of
hear, hear, The most important action
was the admission of the delegates from
the Cumberland Presbyterian body on a
unanimous recommendation of the com
mittec of seventeen appointed to consider
the matter.

ADVANCE OF THE PRAIRIE
DOG.
A Little Pest Which May be as
Harmful as the Kansas Grass
hopper.

From the Albany CrexasJ News.
The march Of the prairie dog is a stand
ing threat against the future prosperity of
the grazing districts OF the state. Draw a
line from Red river south to the Colorado,
so as to run about the western lines of
Throckm orton, Shaekelford, Callahan and
Coleman counties, and you mark the front
Of the greatest immigration army ever
dreamed of by man. From this line west
$50 miles every square mile is infested by
these d~evouring pests. They thickly in
habit n section of country 200 miles long
and $50 miles wide. The advent of the
white man into this country has but in
creased their numbers, us man has de-
stroyed the wolves, badges, rattlcsnakcs,
panthers and other animals which prey
upon the prairie dogs. They eat the grass
in the Summer and the grass roots in
Winter and the consequence is that what
was but a few years ago the finest grazing
region in America is fast becoming a YER
dureless desert.
Unlike all other animals in America,
the prairie dog is migrating, not west, but
east. Only a year or W ago his eastern
line was about the western line Of this
county. In a short time he has advanced
his frontier east about five miles into
Shackelford, Throckmorton and the other
counties lying north and south of Shnckel-
ford. Unless checked he will soon ravage
all mesquite grass land in the state and
will then descend in countless hosts upon
the black, waxy farming land of Tarrant,
Dallas, Collins and the other counties east
of us. 1t is no cxaggeration to say that
$40, OOO,O 900 does not exceed the lue of
the grass annually consumed by the prairie
dogs of Northwest Texas.

From the Omaha Bee.
Reports from Cheyenne indicate that
the Burlington will tap the Union Pacific
at that point, This is not surprising, for
scarcely a week passes that the pushing
and progressive %" people do not drive
a wedge into the. root of its mammoth
rival. The plan is to- build north from
Hudson on the present line to Cheyenne,
a distance of forty miles. The new boom
following on the heels of the Yellowstone
road makes the magic city broaden at her
girth and feel as if the rest Of the world
was doing homage to her greatness. But
Cheyenne deserves her good fortune. For
pluck and perseverance she takes the
bcanerv.

The Leon e. Cushman Minstrel Comedy
Company gave a very pleasing entertain
ment at the Opera House last evening.
The time honored traditions of minstrel
performances were set aside to some ex-
tent, the ancient Jokes which seem to be-
long b. right of long continued custom to
minstrelsy were wanting; the equally
thread bare conundrums were given a
slight rest, and had the more modern gag
been treated with the same shyness the
whole performance could haYe been called
trdly meritOrious.
As Louis and Fedora Leon and
Cushman convulsed the audience with
their burlesque presentations; in the varie-
ty, THE College Boys" THE Shadow
Ballet were well received, and the "Mu,
steal Students" Messrs. Adams and Ca
sey were rendered well merited applause.
The burlesque on base ball was decidedly
funny, and sent the large audience home
brimfull of good humor. The Leon.

From the Rawllns journal.
Mr.. Rasmussen is a great admirer of
birds. Some one who was well aware of
this fact sent him a present of a splendid
female r nary on a nest of eggs, the whole
being nicely enclosed i'll a collar box.
Henry was very careful of this pet, and
being busy, placed it on the counter, re-
fusing to allow any one TO approach it.
Shortly after, having a spare moment, he
thought he would remove the bird to q
cage. The cover was gently removed and
his hand Immediately placed over the box
that the bird might not fly away. This
was a needless prccaution, as the bird was
found to be a stuffed one and the eggs
marbles.
