There are many things about The
World that are surprising. Its panorama
is often varied and calculated to draw forth
evidences of profoundest pleasure from
humanity. Not the least astonishing ex-
hbltion is the representation Of the kalei-
doscopic scenes ofthis life by the World
Company. We see the sunshine and the
shadow, the joy of which existence is
made up. The drama deals with adyen-
lures by sea and shore. The anguish of
prison bars is strikingly blended with the
happiness of the final elimination, when
after patient suffering of many trials the
parted are reunited, and right is trium-
plant. The most marked feature of the
play is the abundant opportunity it fur
nishes for Scenic display. The sinking
ship, the great raft scene and the beauti-
full effect produced by the panoramic repre-
sentation Of moonlight draw forth enthu-
s~iasistic marks Of delight.

The Indications Point Towards the
Scheme Being n Success.

In a conversation with Mr.. Mold last
evening a reporter of The LEADER was
informed that the arrangements were be-
ing perfected by which the Touring mill
would be erected in this city. Mr.. Mold
says the leading citizens are taking great
interest in the project, and it is their in
tention to organize n stock company with
a capital of $4,000 with which to
erect it.
The building will be large and we'll
adapted for the purpose for which it is
to built, will have all the modern ma

run by steam and have a capacity of 3d.
pounds OF -four daily, or 300 sacks every

1t is expected That the arrangements
will be completed in a few days more,
after which the site will be selected, the
contracts let and the mill erected as soon

Hell UP ny FOOT PADS.
A Laramie City Maj Relieved Of His
Money I'm this CITY.

A gentleman from Laramie City was
held up and robbed on Fifteenth street
night before last and relieved of $40 in
money. He was walking down fifteenth
street in the vicinity of the warehouse,
when he was surrounded by three men
who called upon him to give up what
money and jewelry he had, without any
more noise than was necessary, and to be
quick about it and he would not be in
iured. There was but one thing to do.
and that was to hand over the $40, which
was accordingly done.
The fact was made known at police
headquarters, but as no description could
be given by which the thieves could be
identified, they have been unable to find
the guilty parties.
Several other cases have been reported
in which parties have been held up in
different portions of the city of late.
There is considerable. petty thieving
being done in the city at present.

This brilliant young Tory leader in the
English Parliament, who has proved him
self strong enough to dictate the terms ON
which he Will enter the new cabinet Il I'd
bold enough to make the exclusion of as
prominent IA man ON his own side as Sir
stafford Northcote Il condition of his own
acceptance of IA portfolio, is but thirty s,N
gears old. The London GrdDhic recently
gave portrait and sketch of him from
which we take the following facts:
Lord Randolph Churchill is the son of the
present Duke of Marlborough, and de
sccndant of the great duke who won "the
famous victory at Blenheim. He enter
ed Parliament in 1874, on the cres,
of the Tory wave of that year.
He sits for Woodstock, "A family
possession that went with Blenheim
and has made himself famous in debate
by his Independence and by the bold not
to say reckless way in which he is wont
to smite pompous officials and hout even
the leaders of his own side. The Gruphio
says of him.
He has in II remarkable degree the far
reaching, keen, political sight which di-
tinguished Mr.. Dsraeli. He has also Mr.
and, like his prototype, IS not to be de
barred from, upon occasion, iilching Il
slice of liberal policy because the party to
which he belongs happens to call itself
Conservative. He has already fought Il
good fight against the traditional internal
policy of the Conservative party, and, in
spite of overwhelming influences has,
sngle-handed, conquered. What else he
will do when he gets the chance remains
to be written. But, speaking from the
nounced his willingness TO see the expert
ment tried of Ireland being governed I'M
der the ordinary law. Two other things
which he possesses in common with Mr..
Disraeli are, an instructive knowledge of
what the House OF Commons likes, and
the power of saying the right thing in the
right way. If Lord Randolph Churchill
chose to chatter on the budget, or even
on proportional representation, he would
have II full audience, who would be re-
warded by hearing something fresh. Lord
Randolph began in the Disraellan Parlla

Hon. George p. Marsh used to say that
every great city was Il plague spot on the
face of the earth, and that this planet
would be much better Off than it is, if the
ground would open and swallow up all of
them. This was putting it pretty strong
but it is certain that the rapid growth of
the great centres of population, in inhabi
tants, wealth and power; and the decrea -
ing average of moral principle, virtue and
honesty, among their inhabitants, make IA
serious problem, in this. rs in many other
countries. 1t forces itself upon the atten-
ton of pntriotic citizens. The city press is
largely occupied with the subject of muni-
cipal reform. Legislatures are consider
ing it, and the people of the misgoverned
cities are agtating the question, how they
can best purge themselves of the corrup.
tionists and public plunderers who sit in
their high places, and administer munci-
pal affairs to suit their own interests.
There is some truth in the accu-
sation which has been brought against
the better class of citizens, that their own
negligence and lack of interest are largely
responsible for the sort of government
with which so many cities are cursed. 1t
is fact that men of great wealth, of EN-
inent intelligence and of ability in many
lines of individual effort, do not pay so
much attention to politics, and especially
to local politics, as they ought. They are
inclined To look down upon those who
participate actively in such things, who
attend caucuses and are inside of poll
tics The result is that a lower element,
composed of men who do not think it be
meath them To engage actively in local pol
itics, gets the ascendancy at the caucus
and at the polls, and Objectionable candi-
dates are elected, because respectable peo-
Pile are afraid of soiling their

\ Growing Evil.

The Philadelphia newspapers are Just
now engaged in laudable crusade
against the growing practice among young
girls OF promenading the streets in the
evening, and often quite late at night
with chance male acquaintance The
language used in these strolls is often
coarse and loud, the manners of the par
ties are rude, and their actions such as
would, probably, astonish and shock their
parents, could they witness them Many
perhaps mOst-of these girls come from
respectable homes. The majority of them
are well-dressed, and might be taken for
ladies, il their conduct permitted the sup
position, Probably, these same girls act
very differently at other times. At home.
or while engaged in their employments
during the dry time, they are, quite likely,
respectful, modest and well behaved. But
just as soon as they get out on the street
in the evening, the very spirit of mischief
seems to take possession of them. and they
are ready for almost any kind of Il lark
In Philadelphia, according to the revela-
tlons made by the newspaper reports,
some of the representatives of the best
families are among the otfenders-girls
who are both old enough, and who
have had sufficient advantages of
bringing up, to know better, and the evil
grew apace. till the newspapers took hold
, of the matter, and since then it has been

The brief extracts brought by cable
from the articles in which the London
papers commented on Minister Phelps's
speech at the Lord Mayors banquet, on
the 4th inst, assured us that Mr. Phelps
had expressed himself with his customary
grace and felicity, in his first speech as
United States minister, and that he had
made a favorable impression on his audi
ence. The files of the English papers re
Ceived by mail, more than confirm this inn
preston. AS most influential and import
ant of the various favorable notices
given by them, we copy in another col
umn the article of the London Times,
The English "Thundcrer," it will be seen,
not only did Mr.. Phelps the honor Of de
voting an extended editorial article to
him, but commented on his speech
IN terms of high praise. 1t is not
every day, our readers may he sure,
that the London Times says of Il
speaker that he chose his topics with
the utmost judgment, and treated
them with perfect taste. 1t is not little
for Il great journal which carefully Chs
its words, to say that Mr. Phelps showed
himself fitted to fill Mr., l.owel's place,
as well socially as officially. Those only
who understand how powerful is the
TimcS'S influence ON public opinion in
England, can duly appreciate the impor-
lance of its verdict, in such case. Its
unequivocal good opinion, backed by the
scarcely less cordial praise of the other
leading English papers, goes far to settle
the success of the new minister, in his inn
pOrtaut Office.
The ordeal of Il first public appearance
under the circumstances, was IA sufficient
ly trying one, for any man. The Lord
Mayors banquet is one of the great State
occasions of the London season. 1t calls
together an imposing assembly of digni-
taries and notable men of various nations.
1t Is II tremendous audience to address.
Then the American minister had to rise
under the consciousness not only that he
was an object of curiosity to hundreds of
eyes; but that he must be at once com
pared with his predecessor, who is one of
the happiest of speakers and who had
marked the close of his official life in Eng
land, by some utterances of extraordinary
interest and effectiveness One thing
however, made strongly in Mr.. phelps's
favor, and that is the warm feeling which
prevails in England ut the present time
towards our country, due in part no doubt
to the ability, grace and tact with which
Mr.. Lowell has exercised his mission. This
feeling was shown 10y the greeting accord
ed to Mr.. Phelps, ut the banquet, before he
had said a word. His reception,t the accounts
say, was fairly tumultuous. such greet
ing, alone, uumistallable as its meaning
was, might have unsteadied "A man of less
self possession. But while Mr. Phelps is
sometimes embarrassed when overcome
by his feelings-as when he responded to
