Three Troopers Riding Across the Prairie
A Score of Hid-ous. Painted Faces.
An old army officer told reporter the
following story in language that seemed
inspired and which can not be reproduced:
A billowy SEA of grass, rising and falling
like the waves of the sea, swayed by the
wind. A great yellow ball OF fire above
and beneath nothing but the prairie
East, west, north, and south naught but
this great, level plain. From the east
blows a soft wind carrying with it the
echoes Of horses hoof. Three troopers ride
into sight, bronzed, bearded fellows, in
dusty uniforms. on which the golden but
tons shine out ike stars. They chat mer
rily as their horses plod along, talking on
this and that with little care for aught
around them.
The corporal. forgetful of his rank, twits
his Cumrade private on the girl left far
away at home. The latter fiushes under
the bronze Of his face, but makes no re
ply. The second private huns bar Of
Bonnie Doom" at which the other two
laugh and the corporal retorts with line
of Were Three Jolly Good Fellows" The
mems voices sound finely on the sum
mer air, and the goaded steeds quicken
rabbit goes scurrying across their
path, prairie hens rise in angry wrath,
great, shiny whipsnakes cross and recross
their trail-but they have no eyes for such
rs these. The sunshine, the beauty Of the
scene, the shy caress of the wind, have
intoxicated them, and, except a song or
two or n word of home, they say nothing.
Suddenly the horses start forward with
f.,Il h..1-
launches in terror To the right and the
left Of the troopers, Circling around them,
rise score Of hideOus, painted savage
faces. They rise from the screen of the
long, dank grasses like demons exercised
from the grave. Not word is said ON either
side for an instant, then the long drawn,
chilling war whOop rings out from twenty
throatS. At the sound. the corporal, man
to the last, srasps his sabre, and, with a
yell, charges the dr-..&; ahead of him
His comrades are by his side Cut"

pistols, death gurgles and low groans com

Maid and MatrOa.

1t now transpires that Cleveland
proposes to wed the matrsn and not
the maid, prefering Mrs Folsom to
her daughter frankie. 1t is said
that Uncle Samuel Tilden, the
Sage Of Tammany, is at the bottom
Of the affair. He found Grover In
love with frankie and immediately
wrote him a CIPHER dispatch which,
when duly translated, gave him in
structions to transfer his affections
to the mother in the interests of a
solid South. Tilden held that the
young snipe Of girl would turn
the Administration into spectacle
Of unwonted fashionable frivolily,
and result in Blaine succeeding to
the throne IN 1888. Grover saw
the sound political advice and act
ed accordingly. frankie is as mad
as a wet hen.

Justice to Mr.. Wright .

1t is claimed that S. G, Wright
advocated in the State Contra
| Committee the fighting of the Anti
Chinese League Of this city by the
Republican party. This is not cor.
rect. lie simply mentioned the
fact that watchful eye should be
kept on the Democratic influencers
which were trying to array one por-
ton of the Republican party against
another. In order to show just
what he did say. the APPEAL
publishes the following from yes
terday's Enterprise.
IS. C. Wright, of Ormsby, hoped
the amendment would not prevail
for political reasons. He said
Major GarrarG. Superintendent Of
the Mint, and Of the construction
of the Government building at
Carson, was doing all he could to
split the Republican party in two
engineering the anti Chinese move
ment in Carson to that purpose.
He will employ none out Demo
Gratis in either the Mint or the
Government building construction
and will not fail to enhance and in
crease the power Of his party IN
Ormsby county by all the means he
can command, and it is therefore
the policy of the Republican party
to do all we can to stand off this
really formidable influence. there
fore for political reasons, if no
other, he asked that Carson be de-
cided upon as the place for holding
the Convention.

Hrs. Or Miss Folsom, !.

New YORK, May 19th.-The
Eastern papers are now claiming to
have discovered that President
Cleveland's bride is to be Mrs. Fol
som. The question was first raised
in dispatch from Washington to
the Boston Journal, under date of
the 9th, to this effect. A gentle
man who is on very intimate terms
with the President says it Is true
that the President is to be married
but not to Miss Folsom, that the
bride-elect is Mrs. Folsom, widow
of Al, and that the President is
very much amused at the current
reports"
\ recent Washington dispatch
to the New York Times said:
There appears to be no doubt that
Cleveland is to be married, but ex-
actly when or to whom is not clear.
The interest in Cleveland is kindly
enough, and the Impotence to be
informed whether it is to be Miss
Folsom or Mrs. Folsom is only a
manifestation of friendly concern
in man who cannot, if be would
take himself out of the public eye.
