There was ever more excitement up
west in regard to the stock bill than at
Cheyenne. Speaker Jones tells that at
Green River he was beset by many
persons in regard to what was going to

said, at least, that they would send an
agent or informal representative down
here, and demand the right to be heard
from in reference to the prospective
legislation.

reorganized for work again in the tenn

has had many ups and downs, and yet
it still preserves some elements of vital

doubt, to get in shape to take part in
the campaign for temperance reform
which they tell us is near at hand.

 Success in the accomplishment of what ever is good mus. be through the favor of Dhurlati on whose head the digi; of the moon is like streak of Ganses' foam. This friendly advice having been received will give skill in polished expressions, everywhere variety of words, and a knowledge of behavior. The wise man, as if neither growing old nor dying, should consider the attainment of knowl- edge, and practice virtue, as if death had seized him by the hairs of the head.
 It is said that knowledge, among all things, is the only one that is of supreme importance; for 1t can never be stolen, it is of priceless value and indesuuctible. Knowledge only, unites a man and a prince not easily approached, as 2 de- scending stream the ocean.
 Knowledge gives good behavior, and from good behavior one attains worthi ness; from worthiness, wealth; from wealth, religious merit, and thence hap piness. There are two kinds of knowl- edge to be acquired one of weapons. and the other of books; the first is ridic- ulous in old age, but the second is always respected.
 Since an ornament impressed upon a new vessel can not suffer change, there fore proper conduct is here inculeated through the disguise of children's stories.
 The acquisition of friends, the separa- tion of friends, war and peace, selected from the Panchatantra and another work, are here related.
 There is on the banks of the Bhagi- raihi village called PA,aliputra. In i, lived a nobleman named Sudarsana, a man endowed with every noble quality. One day he heard some one reciting the following eouplet:
 Blind indeed is he whose learning is not the dispeller of every doubt, making clear the invisible, and the eye of every thing. Youth, the abundance of wealth, power and lack of judgment each one by itseh is disadvantageous, and how much more are they when altogether Hav- ing heard that his sons who never read books, were constantly going on evl ways, on account of this neglect of books, the king with sad mind thus reflected
 ~Whas is the use of having son born vho is neither learned nor vir.uouss or. what with an injured eye! That indeed is only trouble Of the eye.
 @Of the unborn, the dead and the Soolish, 1t is better 10 have the two first then the last the two first cause pain once: the last, continually. Moreover, he who is born of family of worth at- tsins to exalsation- In the revolving cycie of existence, who is dead, or vho is not born?
 eff the chalk does not lall through the great hurry of the one attempting to count the number of the virtuous, can he say what mother in truth is possessed of . sna, and which childless?
 "And further, in hbezality, in penance,
