RIOTOuS MINERS.


They Drive the Chinese out aud Burn
Their Town.
CHEYENNE, Coll, Sept. 8.--Thc Leader
has the following special from Rock
Springs, Wyoming.
AT the largest coal mines ON the en-
tire Union Pacific, at Rock Springs, $50
miles west of Cheyenne, the company re.
Gently imported large number Of chi.
ncsc to take the places of white men
This afternoon the entire force of white
miners, about one hundred and nfty
strong, organized and,
ARMED WITH smor-GUNs,
marched to Chinatown. After firing
a volley into the air they reloaded
and ordered the Cinnamon to leave. The
order was obeyed at once, the Cinnamon
fleeing to the hills like drove OF sheen,
closely pursued by the miners who fired
several vollcys at the fugitives with fatal
effect. The Chinese quarters were then
SET on FIRE
and thirty-ninc houses owned by the
company destroyed with their contents
The miners next visited the various mines
III the camp and unearthcd all the Chi
neSe 1T work therein and babe them flee
with the others.
OF four hundred Cinnamon here this
evening but one remains. All are i'm the
adjacent hills heading for Queen river
fourteen miles west.
Seven were killed outright by shots
fired by the miners and many were
wounded. 1t is said that several China
men, feeble and helpless from disease,
PERSISTED IN TIE BURNING HOUSES.
Sheriff Young arrived from Green
river on special train this evening, with
a posse, but too late TO prevent the mob
from carrying out its plans. The miners
quietly dispersed after causing the dcpar-
turc of the CelestialS.
All Is now quiet

According to Lamartine, it
is the hardest thing in the
world TO do the simple things in
life and to do them right. Who
can keep his temper? Who
knows how to control his appe-
tite !? Where is the man who can
hold his tongues Who knows
how TO forgive an injury? Where
is happiness to- be found What
man knows how to live? aud
where is the woman who can
make good coffee e. It must
be one of the hard simple things
that Lamartine refers to, for
where there is d score of house,
wives who can make firm jellies,
and delicious preserves and pas
tries, there is not one who can
be depended on for good coffee

H those living in the loWlands
8f Louisiana must leave their
Did places, let them not leave
their State entirely, but find new
homes on the broad prairies of
EhB Opelousas, to which we also
cordially invite the farmers of
Mississippi and Arkansas, whom
the flood has driven from their
homes.
All farmers should set apart
one. two or more acres for the
growing Of fruit. Undoubtedly,
& one-half or one-quarter of the
farming classes did this, prices
for fruit would not be so high
iii now; but the demand for
fruits would increase so largely
that prices could not long re-
main below a paying standard ;
hi fact, SO few will attempt to
crow even for home use that
those farmers who do plant
small fruit will be sure Of q large
reward in selling TO their neigh
boFs, and in supplying smaller
villages where summer fruits are
rareIy now offered for sale.
They may De sure that the de-
mand will, for some years to
eone, grow much more rapidly
than will the probable supply.
DO not begin on a large scale.
Try BIT first half an acre IN small
fruits. This will give q supera-
Guidance for home use, and If
the surplus can be proftably
disposed of the plantation can
be- extended as experience
proves advisable.

Some one truthfully observes
that successful sheep raising
cannot be long continued on
low, Doggy and swampy lands.
To thrive steadily sheep must
havesat least we'll drained, It not
rolling pastures. !,
We believe d small flock Of
good sheep, well managed, to
Be d surer source of q regular
income than the same amount
BE money invested III almost
any other stock. The wool, the
mutton, the increase, and the
fertility which they impart to
the land they occupy, are pro-
ducts which can be counted on
with absolute certainty every
year.
