The following paragraph, entitled The
Dimensions of Heaven, is from Lewis
Penny Reading; "And he measured the
city with a reed, 10000 furlongs. The
length and breadth and height of it are
equal. Rev. xxi, l6. Twelve thous-
and furlongs equal 1920, 900 feet, which
being cubed, is 406, 1893, OSs, 900, 900, OOo,-
900 cubic feet. Reserving half of this
space for the throne and court of heaven,
and halt the balance for streets, we have
the remainder of l25, 1893, 272, 900. O0o,-
0o0,0 900 cubic feet. Divide this by 4 ,Oo6,
the cubical feet in q room 10 feet square,
and there will be 30, a2l, s43, $50, 600, 900
rooms. We will now suppose the world
always did and always will contain $780,
000,O 900 inhabitants, and that a generation
lasts 333 years, making in all 2,07O, 0O0,-
10000 every century, and that the world
will stand 100, OOO, 1000 years or 1000
centuries, making in all 2,070. OOO, OOO,-
900 inhabitants. Then suppose there
were 100 worlds equal to this in plumber
and duration o fyears, making a total of
:, 979, 900, 600, DOC, 900 persons; and there
would be more than a hundred rooms l6
feet square for each person. 1u

LITTLE cHIEF,s UNRULY HORDE
Something Further Regarding Their
Break Toward Running Water.

Some additional particulars developed
yesterday in relation to the Pine Ridge
Agency squabble.g The trouble is caused
wholly by Little Chiefs band of Chey-
ennes which came to the agency in 1878,
having then escaped from the Indian
Territory and made their way through
Kansas and Nebraska. They were pur
sued by Major Thornburg into the sand
hills after which they eventually brought
up at the agency.
These Indians have for some time, to a
certain extent stood in" with a portion
of Red Clouds band although that Chief
and his people are the firm friends of
agent Nj Gillicuddy.
Little Chiefs band insisted in camping
away from the agency and in a locality
other than that designated by the agent.
They desired to camp for the reason that
Red Clouds band had been permitted to
camp there and Little Chief wanted
to be near them. A part of
Red Clouds band Of course sympathize
with the C~heyennes, but not so with the
great majority of them. 1t was because
the Cheyennes insisted in camping close
to Red Clouds band that the agent re-
fused to issue beeyes to the unruly Indian
which caused a portion of them to break
away towards Running Water, since which
time they have not been heard from. 1t
is feared that serious results will follow.
A mistake was made in saying that the
news had been brought to Cheyenne by
James Cook, of the New Mexico syndi-
The james Cook in question was
really none other than Jim Cook, the well
known scout. so that the information may
be considered both reliable and significant.

Yesterday morning was mentioned the
fact that Pat Mccain had been brought
before Judge Lee and fined, and that also
on account of his long argument and his
wit he had been let off for half the usual
price. No sooner, however, did Pat get
released than he began to have another
uncomfortable disposition to again depart
on the war path, which he proceeded 70
do, and the result was that he again fell
into the hands of the police, and yesterday
he was brought before Judge Lee and
fined. He paid up this time and depart
ed from the city, hoping to be able to
keep sober for a week or SO.

In Laramie County.

County Clerk Jeffrey last evening com
pleted the footing up of the totals of the
taxable property of the county as shown
by the assessment roll since the same has

the value of property, but also as to the

sum Of 5000, 900, or about hat amount,
for the railroad and telegraph companies
in the county, which sum is to be assessed,
equalized by the Territorial Board of As
SCISSORS, which is to meet in Cheyenne to-
morrow, and which, when added to the
list, will make a grand total of moro than
So, 800, 900. From these figures it is

been faithfully and efficiently assessed
this year by County Assessor W. W.
Jeffrey and his deputies, Messrs. Chafin,

patience too, as | watched the idiotic
way in which tender, thoughtful,
kind-hearted women treated their
babies-babies who in thirty years
from now will know more in minute

the air, making the little "cuss" pale
with fear, breathless and as red and
white as the American flag, feel like
breaking a commandment, saying
"cuss" words and Draining her on the

Ana his mules were nuthin' but skin and bones,
And his hogs were fat as his corn,bread pones,
And he had bout a thousand acres o. land.

He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and

Fur he couldn't make nuthin but yellorish cot.

And little o. that and his fences were rotten
And what little corn he had hit was boughten
And DANCED If a liven was in the land.
And the longer he swore the madden he got
And he riz and he walked to the stable lot
And he holored to Tom to come thar and hitch
For to emigrate somewhat wharland was rlch
And to quit raisln cockburs thistles and sich,
And wastin' their time on the cussed land,
So him and Tom they hitched up the mules,
pertestin' that folks was mighty big fools
That I'D stay in Georgy their lifetime out,
Jest scratchn' n Twin when all of EN- mOught,
Got places in Texas whar cotton would sprout
By the time you could plant In the land.
And he driv by house whar a man named
Brown
Was Twin not far from the edge of town,
And he bantered Brown for to buy his place,
And said that bcin' as money was skace,
And bein that Sheriffs was hard O. face,
Two dollars an acre would git the land.
They closed at dollar and fifty cents.
And Jones he bought him wagin and tents,
And loaded his corn and his wimmin and truck,
And moved to Texas, with it tuck
His entire pile, with tho best of lack,
To git thar and git him IA little land
But Brown moved out on the old Jones farm,
And he rolled up his breeches and barred his arm
And he picked all the rocks from off n the groun
And he rooted it up and ploughed 1t down,
Then he ploughed his corn and his wheat In
the land.
Five years Gid by, and Brown, one day
(Which he d got so fat that he wouldn't weigh
Was settin' down sorter lazily,
70 the bulliest dinner you ever see,
When one o. the children jumped on his knee
And says, "Yun's Jones, which you bought
his land"
And thar was Jones, standin out at the fence,
And he hadn't no wagin, nor mules, nor tents
For he had left Texas afoot and cum
To Georgy to see if he couldn't get sum
Employment, and he was loOkin' as humble as e
He had never owned any land
But Brown he axed him in, and he sot
Him down to his vittles smokin hot,
And when he had fiiei himself and the floor
Brown looked at him sharp and riz and swore
That whether mans land was rich or poor
