There are in Dundee, Scotland, eight
companies dealing in mortgages and
cattle in the western and northwestern
states. In Edinburgh there are eleven.
and in Glasgow three. The land and
cattle companies in the United Kingdom
operating in the United States hold in
fee simple 2.0lG, 1888 acres, and by lease
1,445. 796 acres. Their dividends in 1888
averaged over $ per cent, but fell to
only a little over 4 per cent in 1885. The
causes of this decline are found in the
rapid growth of capital in the United
States and the gradual decline in the
rate of interest which has occurred all
over the world.-Cnicago Herald.

Mrs. Browning's conversation was
most interesting. She never made an
insignificant remark. All that she said
was always worth hearing; a greater
compliment could not be paid her. She
was a most conscientious listener, giving
you her mind and heart as well as her
magnetic eyes. Persons were never her
theme unless public characters were u
der discussion or friends were to be
praised. one never dreamed of frivoli-
ties in Mrs. Browning's presence. and
gossip felt itself out Of place. Yourself,
not herself, was always a pleasant sub
ject to her, calling out all her best
sympathies in joy, and yet more in
sorrow. Books and humanity, great
deeds, and above all, politics, which in
clude all the grand questions of the day,
were foremost in her thoughts and there
fore o~ftenest on her lips. l speak not of
religion, for with her everything vas re-
lgion.
Thoughtful in the smallest things for
others, she seemed to give little thought
to herself. The first to see merit, she
was the last TO censure faults, and gave
the praise that she felt with a generous
hand. No one so heartily rejoiced at the
success of others: no one was so modest
in her own triumphs. She loved all who
offered her affection, and would solace
n advise with any. Mrs. Browning
belonged to no particular country; the
world was inscribed upon the banner un-
der which she fought. Wrong was her
enemy; against this she wrestled in what

amongst us a while ago? Mr.. and Mrs.

characters, both literary, learned in their

Very good" returned Mr.. -. The

At breakfast next morning we had

One of the most common pests in

of the wall, between the bricks of tiles

to fly up with dangerous effect upon the

of the rug or tablespread, and you dis

y.lur shoes in the morning. and ont they
flop; throw your bath sponge into the
water. and half a dozen of them dart
out of its cool depths into which they
had wriggled for a siesta; in short,
every article you touch must be treated
like n dose of medicine-"to be well
shaken before taken"
The average scorpion is mahogany

Leo. p. Fishel, a ranchman from the
Big Horn country, arrived in this city
yesterday morning. The writer met him
at the Inter Ocean, and being old friends
the conversation naturally turned as to
Leo's business in town, because it was
singular that he should come such a long
distance in his own conveyance, unless on
business Of importance. Walking togeth-
er to one of the stables of the city, where
be kept his wagon and horses, the re-
porter was shown one Of the greatest curl
osities of the present generation. On
lifting the cover of the wagon a mass of
horns, hair and paws. all together in one
inanimate object was exposed to the view
Of the astonished spectator. On closer
examination it was found to be the dead
body of an animal resembling a mountain
sheep in form, and having eleven legs,
two heads and no tail. -Four of the legs
were attached properly, while there was
one dangling from each shoulder and
each hip, and three in a tangled mass on
top of the back, these three being large,
like those Of a COW. Mr.. Fishel caught
this monster on May 10, last, while it was
drinking in the river about a mile from
his ranch. When captured one of the
heads was inanimate, while the other was
managed very awkwardly. Hearing that
Sells Bros circus was to be here, he con-
ceived the idea of bringing it to town and
selling it, but unfortunately it died when
he wa about twenty miles the other side
Of Fort ,Fetterman, and when he arrived
here it was not in a fit state of preserva-
ton to admit of being preserved, and thus
the world has been deprived of one of the
greatest curiosities ever in existence.
The carcass was buried yesterday noon.

our Fort LARAMIE Letter.

Special Correspondence OF THE LEADER,
,FoRT LARAMIE, June 29.-The cattl,
owners in this vicinity are surprised at the
action of the association in dischareing the
stock inspector at this point and leaving
US without q representative in this section.
This place, from the general point OIL
view, is one Of the most central stations
in the county. and the center Of all round
ups in the vicinity. | notice there are
more complaints about lost and stolen cat
tie and horses since the inspector
disappeared than ever we have had previ-
ously.
The plumber Of ~emigrant trains passing
north every day is surprising, and from
conversations with the parties it seems
they intend to take up claims in the vicin-
ity of Runningwater and Fetterman
and settle down. If this influx
continues we will in a short time have
a comparatively settled country, where a
few years ago the antelope played undis-
turbed. But such is the natural sequent
to the railroad and civilization.
Preparations are being made for cele-
brating the Fourth here by races and kin
6red sports, and from present indications
we anticipate quite an exciting time. |
have been informed that it was under
consideration to wind up the sports with
a hop in the evening. but from the scarcity
of the opposite sex, the idea was aban-
doned.
/ understand the Fort Laramie ORA
matte Association purpose giving a repre-
sentation of an Irish comedy sometime
next week, and if we are to Judge by the
performances that have passed, we may
expect something interesting and credita-
bly, put on the boards. 1t is hoped by all
that Mrs. Brechemin will favor US on the
occasion with her delightful singing.
If there is a healthier climate in crea-
ton than this | would like to know where
it is. You never hear of anyone dying
here, neither do you hear Of a case Of
sickness, except that caused by an injury.
| suppose this accounts for the scarcity of
doctors and undertakes in this section.
If the army of invalids from the East
would detail 4 few d~etachments from the
main body in Forida) to encamp here for
a few months. they would be surprised at
the benefit derived.
