MYoMING IouRNALIsM
According to Bill Barlow, of the
Rawllns .. Tribune"

There is a certain briskness-yea, a
peculiar breeziness as it were, about Jour
nalism in Wyoming. A glance at the
various territorial publications would lead
the average mortal to believe that every
pencil-pusher was on the point of fighting
a duel with some other peripatetic para
grapher, and that "%sirloin of editor with
mushroom sauce was one of the articles
enumerated on the bill OF fare Mt all first
class Wyoming hotels every morning.
This is not the case, however. Though
the boys use pretty tough language toward
each other in print, they are as brothers
in private. The woodshed of literature is
ransacked for some verbal pine knot to
hurl Mt the head of the editor of our
esteemed contemporary" the very
choicest adjectives are culled from Web
sters vocabulary and SHE'D at each other.
Postmortems are held over the dead
languages and the mystic mysteries aud
chaotic cavities Of legendary lore are cx-
plored in the effort to bring to light some
sarcastic, cutting term to be applied to
the other fellow. People who are not
posted shudder as they read,
and wonder what style Of tomb
stone the wife of the writer
of the article will select. Then the two
journalists mcet-and play pedro for
the beer Take, for instance, the case
Of the editors Of the two papers in
Sweetwater county. Maj. Smith told
Col Dresser, recently that he was
an idiotc imbecile; a horse thief and a
squaw. and had mo more soul than a
burned toad. The colonel courteously
replied that contemplate liar is too
mild an appelation for the scurrilous
editor Of the mugwump sheet Quint

Wilkes Booths Horse.
The Fate of the Animal on Which NE Ks
capped After the AssassinaGion.

The Putnam (Conn.l Weekly STANDARD
publishes the following story about the horse
that bore ]. Wilkes Booth from Washington
after the murder of President Lincoln:-
The story Of the murdered President-the
history of the murderer, John Wilkes Booth
is familiar to all but the horse, what of him?
The animal was coniscated, sold by auction,
and fell to the Soldiers Express Company Of
New York. This company, it would seem .
was either swindled by its managers or fell
into financial difficulties. At any rate. IL
was short-lived, its property was sold, and
the Booth horse was purchased by John
Grant, who was at that time a Brooklyn ex-
pressmaD. IN 1869 Colonel John A. Peal.
then resident of Brooklyn, N. Y, offered
800 for the horse, but the offer was not ac-
cepted. That same year the colonel moved
to Arlington, Conn.,, and the horse was soon
afterward shipped to HIM for the price origi-
nally offered. The animal was then in di-
lapidated condition. but under the kind
treatment OF his new master soon recovered
soma of his former qualities of sickness,
feetness, strength and endurance. The horse
was large and powerful animal, with long.
heavy maBe and tail, bright, intelligent eyes,
of dark bay color, white star in the fore
head, and one white hind foot and ankle.
The animal became a great favorite witls-
the family, and during the later years Of his
life was allowed to have pretty much his
own way. About three years ago the horse,
on account of his age aud docile habits, was
allowed to wander about the door-yard and
along the roadside at his leisure aud pleas
ure. In one of these ramblngs the poor an
imal fell into ditch and was killed. Thus
1t would seem all, even to the dumb beasts,
having part in this terrible tragedy met with
violent death.

Jest Fer Symetry."
A Funeral Address that Contained a sIi1ht
Error.

The Buffalo Express relates that Rev. Mr..
W., an esteemed pastor of one of the Epsco-
pal churches in that city, was called to off,
ciate at the funeral OF young man, held at
the celored Episcopal church in the absence
OF the rector. On arriving at the church he
was informed that the family expected him
to make some remarks. They had to be ex-
temporaneous, as there was no time to pre-
pare set discourse. After dwelling on the
spiritual aspect of death in general way,
my reverend friend sought to wind up his
address with something which should have
some bearing on this special case. Chief
among the mOurners he had noticed an old
lady and gentleman who were apparently
the father and mother of the deceased young
man. He alluded 10 touching terms te the
aged father and mother from whom had been
removed the staff on which they had ex-
pected to lean during their declining years.
He noticed slight movement among his
auditors, but attributed it to the narrowing
effect of his words. On his return from the
ceremony he was accompanied by the col
ored master of ceremonies. "Dat was a
tine address, DR.. W." said the latter,
"but you made leetle mistake" s'How
sop inquired the dominic "When you
spoke of Jim's fadder," responded the dar.-
key. "You see, Jim's fadder ran away wild
white woman about ten years ago, aud we
amt seen muffin of him since. De ole wom-
an in de front pew was Jim's mudder, but
when you speak about Jin's fadder, YOU
kinder teches So spot in de famiiy.''
"Then the old gentleman who escorted
Jim's mother was not his father?' "No,
san no r'lashun. Dat was ole Mstah Sim
mons. Dere wasn't anyone to take de place
OF Jm's fadder, so we put Simmons In jest
fer symetry, sah."

Elijah's Altar.
Am Interesting Discovery ON Mount Car
mel.
Laurence oliphant in the Churchman.)

Laurence oliphant in the Churchman)
We are approaching that spot celebrated
in Bible story where Elijah sacrificed before
the prophets Of Baal, and where tradition
has placed The altar where he called down
the divine fire, and which commands one of
the most extensive and interesting panoram-
ie views in Palestine, including almost every
point of note in Galllee. Within the last
year the Carmelites have erected a church
on the lofty bluff where this event is SUP
posed to have occurred, and which, rising
abruptly above the plain of Esdraelon to a
height of 1,600 feet, forms the southeast an
gle of the mountain, and is conspicuous
object from far and wide. But moments
reflection will convince us that tradition is
not correct in assigning this lofty pinnacle
as the scene of the occurrence, for we are
told that the prophet "said to his servant.
Go up now, look towards the sea. Aud he
went up and looked, and said, There is moth
ing. And he said, Go again seven times"
Now there would have been no occasion for
Elijah to have given any such directions to
his servant had the altar been at the place
supposed, for the sea is in full view of it,
from Athlit to Caesarea; it is evident, there
fore, from the words "Go up," that the al
tar was at lower elevation. The late Dean
Stanley has conjectured that the spot might
have been on a plateau little lower down.
where there is well on the south slope of
the mountain; but it has seemed to me mora
likely that it was in a sort of low amrh;thea-
tire, which, on account of its greater area.
would have been adapted for so great null
titude, as that which was assembled to wit
ness the discontinue of the false prophets.
aud which lies TO the west little below
Mahkraka, and completely concealed from
the sea view. There is point within few
minutes of what would be the centre of this
plain from which the sea is clearly visible.
And, curiously enough, hidden away in the
brushwood, l came here upon a massive
erection OF square slabs of stone, each aver
aging eighteen inches sqnare, and eight or
nine inches thick, which placed on one
another without cement, made a rude table
about twelve feet long and four feet vide.
do not, of course, pretend that this was
the original altar, which it is recorded was
destroyed at that time, but am at loss 10
conjecture what purpose it coald have
served; and its position was so exactly that
which might have suited the occasion that
the idea was suggested to me by finding it
here that it may be the remains of some erec-
ton put up in Jewish times to eommemo-
rate the event. There is path leading from
1t directly to the Kishon, at the point where
the Tel-eEKusis, or Hill of the Priests,
rises from the margin of the brook, and
which owes its name to the tradition that it
was the scene of the execution of the false
prophets. This portion of .the mountain
was evidently the most populous and richly
cultivated in former times, as it is this day
the most beautiful.
