4 Hostess with Tact.

''You talk of tact.'' said the short
hand reporter. II remember case of
tact that was as pretty rs anything
can imagine. 1t was at the house of q
Governor of Western State. His wife
was one of the most refined and charm
ing women l ever knew, and she was
'chOck full of tact. The Governor had
to give receptions to influential men III
the State, and you can fancy that some
of them were very uncouth and uneGu-
Gated One evening there was large
dinner party, and a rather rough old
cove, very wealthy and important
man, was the chief guest. Of course
he sat at the right side of the hostess.
The dinner went along very nicely:
Beyond making few rather gIuche
remarks, the old Western fellow be-
haved pretty well. But when the
linger-bOwls were put on the table he
was rather knocked over, and like
many other heroes of such stories he
took his up and drank out of it. No
body happened to sec him except the
hostess, and quick as wink she sig
nailed to the servants. They removed
every finger-bowl before anybody could
touch them, and the old fellow doesn't
know to-day, if he's living, what ms
take he made. Now, that's tactl''

An Astonished Bear.

A man named Ed. Wilson was
brought into the Sisters Hospital in
Helen, NJ. T. from camp in the
timber beyond Gloster, to be treated
for injuries received by falling from IA
tree into which he had been chased BY
wounded bear. The way it occurred
was this: He and another man were
chopping wood in the timber west of
Gloster. While so engaged Wilson
looked up and saw huge bear placidly
contemplating them from a distance Of
about fifty yards. The bear was sit
ting upright, with its 'arms'' appar-
emily folded, and seemed much interes-
ted in their manner of cutting and
splitting of cordwOod, as if it might
have some notion of going into the
business itself. When described the
bear was standing perfectly still, showed
no signs of hostility and was simply
and only an interested spectator.
The wise thing for the men to have
done under the circumstances would
have been to leaTe the bear alone. So
thought Wilson's companion, and he
did as much. But Wilson thought diff
ferently. He had a Winchester rifle,
and, noticing that the bear had white
spot in the center of his breast, Just the
right size for a nice mark, he said he
believed he'd take a shot at it. The
other advised him not to do it, and be-
came suddenly conscious that he was
wanted at camp. Wilson looked at the
bear again. 1t still sat motionleSS,
and the white mark on its breast looked
SO tempting that, without more ado. he
raised his gun, aimed and fired. But
instead of hitting the white, which
would have been dead shot, the bull
let struck the bear in the shoulder. The
wound did not cripple the animal
much, but served TO suddenly enkindle
i'll its breast an eager desire to eat 4
woodchopper.
The next thing Wilson remembers
lie and his companion were doing the
great tree-climbing act, with the bear
within smelling distance of their heels
Wilson, in his excitement, climbed up
a limb which WAS too weak to bear
his weight. The limb broke and he
fell The diStantce To- the ground was
about thirty feet, and lie came down
bang on top of the bear, which, on ac-
count of its wound, had been unable
10 climb the tree. The jolt which the
bear received from 40 pounds of fall
ing mortality was to it new feature
in man-hunting. and it startled the an
rmal so that it did not wait for further
particulars, but fled in great alarm and
soon disappeared in the woods.
On examination it was found that
Wilson's back had been 50 injured that
he was unable to walk. His compan-
ion therefore set out for camp and
brought assistance.

The Profits of Rose Farming.

In this time of agricultural de-
preston it is gratifying to know rose
farming is akin to silver mine-if sill
yer currency be in ''boOm. " At kezanlik,
a cultiyator entered railway carriage
with two small boxes in his hands. The
contents represented his harvest transac-
tions for the year. Good goods are wrap
ped in small parcels. The boxes contain
ed essence of roses, valued at 100000
francs. The rose-trees require as much
care as do vines, and only produce at the
end of five or ten years.

When Ineaner things obstruct thy path?

A POLAR HURRICANE.
The Most Furious Winds Storm
Ever Known in Cheyenne.
The Catholic Convent Roofing De-
strOyed--A Passenger Injured.

The most furious and terrific wind
storm that has probably ever occurred in
the history of Cheyenne commenced to rage
shortly before II o'clock on Friday night
and continued from hat time until about
I o clock last evening when it began to
SLOW up" as the the railroad men would
say. The course of the hurricane flor
such it might be called was from north
to south, and the direction was not varied
during the day to any appreciable ex-
tent. The force of the wind was so great
that new substantial brick blocks in all
parts of the city shook and trembled, and
in SOME instances fairly rocked. Although
no buildings were blown down, at least
here in the city, there was considerable
damage done. The tin roofing on the
Catholic convent began to give way early
in the morning, and although as many as
twenty men were set to work on the roof
they being enabled to remain there by
the most strenuous efforts only-tho roof
was almost entirely torn off before night.
A lady passenger on the eastern ex-
press train was blown from the platform
of the car and one Of her ankles dislocat-
ed. The injury, though not dangerous,
was a very painful one, and medical aid
had to be summoned. The name Of the
unfortunate passenger was not ascertained,
as she continued her journey East not
withstanding her injury.
A fence around the parsonage of the
Congregational church was blown down,
and at one time it was expected by those
who watched it, hat the tower or steeple
of the church would go also.
The high fence used for bill posting
around the vacant lots on the southwest
corner of Sixteenth and Eddy streets, was
blown down, but although several per-
sons were passing along the sidewalk at
the time, zone Of them were injured.
In one instance a pork barrel was taken
up by the wind and carried a distance of
nearly thirty feet, where it sailed around
for some time before it fell to the ground.
The rods and decorations on the tower of
d. D. Dare's residence were bent and
twisted, and in many cases signs were
blown down and carried some distance
away. In all parts of the city the wind
ragged with a violence il was never known
to possess before, but fortunately 10
alarming results followed from this I'M
precedented and fierce visitation of the
elements.

A PARTY
In Honor of the Birthday Anniversary
Of O. II. CowhIck. Esq.


That ladies can keep a secret was album
dainty proven last evening at the resi-
dence of o. f. Cowhlck, ESD, the popu-
lar merchant. The occasion was the birth
day anniversary Of this worthy gentleman.
His genial spouse several days ago quietly
arranged a surprise party in honor of the
event, and issued invitations to many Of
the gentlemen friends Of Mr.. Cowhick.
The result was a houseful Of the lead
ing citizens Of the city, embracing
all professions and business pur-
suits. Mr.. Cowhick was quietly
escorted home from the store by his part
ner, Il. W. Whitcomb, Esq for a quiet
business consultation" The surprise was
was perfect Mr.. Whitcomb was abso-
lutely non-plussed for several moments,
and then it was demonstrated how abso-
lutely Mrs. Cowhick and her lady assist
ants had kept the faith.
A very sociable evening was spent by
the gentlemen, although the absence Of
the ladies did seem somewhat odd to
them. The refreshments were not only a
special, but a very elaborate and popular
feature of the evenings pleasure.

THE APPOINTMENT OF LEGISLATORS TO
OFFICE.
To the Editor OF THE LEADER.
CHEYENNE, March IL. am a
Republican, but an totally opposed
to the doings of the ring" Our
paper, which ought to speak out, remains
silent; perhaps because the editor broth
er came out so well in the appropriation
line. Log rolling has been the most per-
nicious thing done by the legislature, and
that, too, in a most unlawful and per
nicious way. Who in the world Is advis-
ing the governor, anyhow He has
plainly violated section s, OF the organic
act Of the territory, unless he imagines, in
the egotism of his heart, that he has
vetoed that act. Nick" O'Brien, j. w.
Blake, Leroy Grant and G. Deloney, have
all been appointed to offices created by the
Legislative assembly, of which they were
members. Before | point out a few de-
cisions | would call attention to the fact
that the governor and the assembly both
conceded that these mea were appointed
to office, because they were appointed by
the governor by and with the consent of
the council, as required by section 7 of the
abused organic act.
When lawyers say that the above
named persons have not been appointed
to office, they are either knaves or igno-
ramuses. What is the judicial meaning
of the word office? The authorities have
defined it as follows | withhold the cita-
tons for the present }:
Offce-An employment on behalf of
the government in any station or public
trust not merely transient, occasional or
incidental.
An office is a public charge or employ
ment, and the term seems to comprehend
every charge or employment in which the
public are interested.
An office is a right to exercise q public
or private employment, and and to take
the fees and emoluments thereunto be-
longing.
An office is a duty, charge, a trust ex-
ercised for a public purpose.
A position or station in which a person
is employed to perform certain duties, or
by virtue Of which he becomes charged
with the performance of certain duties,
p.,b1t, ~ prtv,ta
| have a list of % other authorities to
the same effect.
If the officials spoken of above are not
inhibited by the organic act, | would like
the attorney general to show wby2
And if there are inhibited, how can these
men legally exercise the functions of their
several offices?
The question is, First, can the COVER
nor override the organic act? Second,
if he thinks the organic act doesn't pro-
hibit these appointments, where is his
boosted smartness2 Where is his legal
adviser? LEN.

THELEADER on Wednesday mentioned
the fact that a man named Chas. +.
Ford, who was waited at Montrose, Col,
for the crime of grand larceny had been
arrested by City Marshal Schnitger. Mr..
Sehnitger after the arrest telegraphed to
the sheriff Of Montrose county that the
arrest had been made, but received no
reply. Subsequently he telegraphed on
two other occasions, but still received no
reply. Yesterday afternoon not having
heard from Colorado, Mr.. Schnitger con-
cluded to release his prisoner twho had
been confined in the county iaiD and did
So. In less than half an hour later he
received a dispatch that an officer was on
his way to Cheyenne for Ford aud would
be here on the evening $ train. Schnitger
in view of this information again went
on the trail of Ford, rounded him up-and
took him into custody a second time.
The officer arrived here last evening and
will return with Ford tomorrow.
