A Cosby Letter Fun of Interesting
Incidents

To the Editor OF the DEMOCRATIC A
There is much in the appearance of the
weather to-day which impresses one with
the idea that winter is now nearly over
The snow has entirely disappeared from a
greater portion of the ground and the
numerous gulches and ravines are once
more visited by ripping streams, proceed
ing from the large drifts of snow which are
growing beautifully less under the fcrvent
gaze of the approaching sun. The cattle
on the ranges in this locality are looking
well, and from what | can learn, losses
among them have so far been light and
confined entirely to old cattle.
The Rochelle or Running Water Mining
company which but u few years ago was a
solitary and rudely constructed ranch, af-
fording the only vestige of civilization, is
now a scene of busy life and action. 1t
marks a striking illustration of the pro-
auctions of time when occupied by well
directed human industry and enterprise.
There are at present about fifty men en-
ploycd in this mine, and | am informed
that this number will be doubled by the
LIST of April.
A large and c%ommodious boarding house
is nearing completion here. A store, bill
lard hall and saloon are all in active ser
vice and it is a widely circulated and gen
orally believed report hat a large hotel
will be erected in the vicinity of the mine
as soon as building material can be obtained
from Messrs. Kingman x Hull, who are at
present saving on the border of a good
sized bill of lumber for the Rochelle mine.
The machinery for the mine is all on
the ground, but some delay in erecting it
has been oceasioned by unfavorable
weather. However, | learned from the
superintendent yesterday that everything
would be in running order by the LIST of
May.
The present developments of the mine
are as follows; Two openings about two
hundred feet apart along the veins Mt the
surface, from which large quantities of ore
have been taken out, The vein has been
tapped at a depth of 100 feet by means of
a drift running in IN easterly direction
from the bottom of the working shaft,
which was sunken a little to the west of
the summit or apex of the vein. The
width of the vein at this point is not yet
known, as the drift has not proceeded far
enough to cross it. X.

FORT RUSSELL ITEMS.

The Russell pleasure club has dis
banded.
Al. Lewis, of Fort Laramie, was in
town yesterday,
General Mason has had his leave ex-
TENDED two months.
Captain NJ. C. Foote will soon depart
on a six months leave.
Lieutenant George Palmer has returned
from a one months leave.
The hospital is over-crowded with pa
tients. Rheumatism is the main cause.
The indoor concerts by the band are
appreciated by those who are privileged to
attend, and the music is of an excellent
standard.

According to our esteemed contem-
porary around the corner the county com
missioners are just now engaged in the
very lauddble undertaking of purchasing
trees for the Baptists. Either Mcssrs.
Swan, Dyer and Hoyt have become con
verted to the cold water system of doing
business, or else the Sun folks have got
matters slightly mixed. Probably if the
statement had been made that they had
purchased two hundred trees for the
hospital grounds-well it would have read
a little better at ali events.

dering why she looked so pale tonight
and clung SO tightly around his neck at
parting.
He felt strange chill pass over him
whenever he thought Of the music. but.
by-and by, he fell asleep and forgot it
all.
The threatened storm came: such
tempest as had not swept the valley
since its settlement, five years before.
But the sun shone oct brightly the next
mora:ag, ara T.. was nne, at !eae.
who hailed its advent with sigh Of re-
lief; that one was Joe Minion. Crushed.
bruised and sorely wounded, he dragged
himself from heap Of debris ard looked
about him. No one was stirring. Near
ly all the others had chosen safer places
than he and were sleeping soundly, now
that the wild strife which had taken
place so lately between the elements had
ceased.
How was it with little Lita? With an
effort poor Joe sat up and looked.
Where had stood dwelling place
last night was only q heap of ruins
now.
"Lita Lita !" called the old man pit
eously, but there came no answer.
On his hands, with all his remaining
strength mustered into the effort, he
crept to the spot. No child was there.
Slowly, every breath pain almost un-
endurable, he drew himself to the top Of
log to look. He saw her, and was not
long in gaining the spot.
Taking one limphand in his and clasp.
ing it tightly, he sank down at her side,
though there was smile upon his face;
the pain was all over. He had followed
bis little friend i'll her long, long
journey, had gono into that other coun.
try.
A little later the miners, awakened
by the faithful Nannon, who had just
recovered sufficiently TO crawl from the
ruins, began q search for the missing.
Away beyond the scattered remains of
the cabin they found them-the two so
strangely contrasting; one so old and
gray. the other like CLEAN of light as
she lay upon bed of tangled grass and
shining s,,nd, the paiIor OF death upon
ter fair, young face, and the glory OF
the sunshine in her golden hair.

Life Insurance in England.

The Objectionable features of life in
surance under certain conditions form a
leading article in one of the English
weeklies. 1t is directed chiefly against
the mutual assurance associations and
burial clubs which are more common
among the working people on that than
on this side Of the Atlantic. When the
person who is to receive the bounty has
10 dependence for support upon the
person dying, insurance is considered
morally Objectionable. This is often the
case, for infants and aged people are
constantly insured by these societies,
and no inquiries are made as to the
cause of the death of the insured wheu
it takes place.
This puts premium on getting rid OF
such beneficiaries for the sake of the pc
cuniary profit; and it is common scan.
dal in certain parts Of Great Britain
that the opportunity is often taken ad
vantage OF. Thus in the Midlands a
proverb, "Look out for the broomstick -
is often heard, where an aged person is
aware, or ought to be aware, that his de.
mise is hoped for by his juniors, because
they would profit by it; and1t refers to
the practice Of placing broomstick
across the head Of some dimly- lighted
stairway, in order that 9randparent
may accidentally" fall and meet, or at
least hasten, his death. It appears that
this deliberate planning for the death OF
an insured person is alarmingly on the
increase In England.-New York Hour.

Varieties In Fashions.

A iong harrow scarf made Of jetted
net with or without an edging Of jette3
lace, will lie worn in the street around
the neck instead OF the Spanish lace
scarfs SO long in vogue.
Jctted net p!astrons in heart shape,
pointed or square, in soft puff are
made with standing lace band or col.
lar TO lat on over any simply trimmed
dre-s 4ef black silk, surah, or satin.
These cost from $50 to s. in the
shops.
A Moliere vest Of jetted net laid over
silk and edged with jetted lace may be
made OF fourth OF yard of jetied net,
md is pretty and dressy addition tc
black corsages.
An entire basque Of jetted net without
lining will be used in the summer Just
as Jerseys are, with skirts of black silk
Or satin that may or may not have dra-
perry Of this net. Sometimes such a
waist is made to fasten behind There
should be separate lining of satin
surah to be worn under this transparent
waist, and this may have the sleeves
only basfed in, SO that they may be
easily removed to leave thin net sleeves;
there may also be yoke cut separate at
the top Of low lining, which can be
used or net, as the wearer wishes q high
lining for the daytime, or only trauspar-
ent met over the neck in the evening.
The neck and sleeves are trimmed with
full frills Of jetted lace.
White pique collars for ladies are now
made in all the shapes that are fashion,
able for linen collars, but those in the
high close CARROT shape are preferred;
these have square pique cuffs to match.
Collar buttons of old silver, with de-
signs of antique heads, are made to
match the coin pins and bracelets now
in use.
One of the novelties in millinery is a
cork foundation or frame Of the bonnet
covered over with a thin vencering OF
wood. New basket straw bonnets are
bronzed or gilded, and are now made SO
fine and pliable that they are bent into
small crowns and used as the smallest
calsstes, with cocLade bow of co"ueli-
cot velvet ribbon for trimming.
Persian vests are added to new basques
of Jersey cloth, and thezD are some
times made of iridescent beads in Per
sian designs and colors.-Harper's Ba-

A Slave Dealer for Governor.

General Gordon advises the appoint
ment of Zpbehr Pacha to succeed him
self as Governor of the Soudan. DR..
Schweinfurth gives vivid description
of a visit paid to Zobehr Pacha in 1871.
Zobehr possesses line of thirty forti-
fed posts, reaching far into the heart Of
Africa, by means of which he had not
ONLY become the head of all the slave
dealers, but was the real and sole chief
of their country. The Khcdive, pow
erless to control this formidable vassal
had sent his troops to join him in all ex-
pedltion against the Sultan of Darfour.
Unfortunately for himself, Zobehr went
down TO Cairo to assert his claim to be
made Governor of that province, carry
ing with him, it is said, $1,000 900 to be
used as bribes. He was detained at
Cairo, and put upon the pension list
with e100 a month. A message from
Zobehr forwarded to his son and the off
GERS who had sworn fidelity to him under
the great tree at Shaka, as described by
Colonel Gordon, produced a speedy re-
volt among the slave dealers. 1t was
this revolt which was crushed by Gessi
Pacha, who shot Suleiman. Zobehr's
son. He also slew all his officers except
one, who escaped, and is now supposed
by some to be the Mahdi.
Zobehr Was kept as State prisoner
at the capital. Ten years passed An
other pretender annihilated the Egyp-
.ian forces and menaced Egypt itself
with Invasion. Then the officials al
Cairo, being nanitestly without re-
sources, applied to the distinguished
llcaptiye. Would he go back to- his home :?
Would he summon his faithful Nubians
to his standard? Would he for PHYS
sake do something to stay the advance
of this ianatical plague? Yes. Hewould
do all this. BE would lead, in the khe-
dives name, the Black Contingent Of the
Soudan e1peditionary force. Very good,
said the Ministers; but leave Us, pray.
your wife and daughter as hostages
shall We say for your good behavior.
| Yes. By ali means. said Zobehr. Keep
| them and welcome. But secretly BE
sent of his spouse to Suakin; lot So Sc
cretly, however, but that tie Vizicr
| heard of il, and SO Zobehr himself was
arrested. However, he was ai.erva,d
/ se, free again.
