Dangerous Contrivances.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Among the
bills vetoed to day was one granting a
a pension to Alfred Denny, whose. rec
ord showed no disability, but twenty
years after he was discharged he filed a
claimed alleging that he was injured by
being thrown forward upon the horn of his
saddle. The president says: The num-
Der of instances in which those of u
soldiers who rode horses during the war
were injured by being thrown forward
upon their saddles indicates hat those
saddles were very dangerous contrivances.

fragrant mixture was put on the back OF
his hand, aud, AS it was q something TO

a blessing over it. The good man closed
his eyes and began slowly TO repeat the
blessing or short prayer. A gust Of wind,
however, blew the snuff from off his hand,
on which he remarked, 30, 1t couldna' he

A hunt ball is not very different from
other large country house entertainments.
The grand hall is devoted to dancing, as
well as one or two of the drawing rooms.
The music is not often elaborate; on rare
occasions n band is brought down from
London, but usually there are only three
or fou pieces from n ne~ighboring town.
Few decorations are added to the ordin-
airy ornaments, but the house is ablaze
with thousands of candies, shedding a
soft luster on the complexion and drop
ping compensatory stains on the costume.

In less than four weeks the Demo
cratic convention will meet at Rawlins to
nominate a candidate for the position of
territorial delegate. No aspirant has yet
distinctly announced himself; several
have been named, but there is none who
can be considered as regularly in the
field. Under these circumstance THE
LEADER feels warranted in suggesting a
candidate of its own.
1t is conceded. or ought to be, that the
delegate should be an old resident of the
territory. Not that long residence con-
fers honor or distinction, or any superior
claim to respect, but because of the op-
%portunities of knowledge it furnishes.
Heshould possess a.thorough acquaintance
with the wants of all sections, the needs
Of all industries, the interests of all
classes, and to ~thoroughness in this, length
of residence does contribute in a large
demee.
He should be a man of broad and lib
cral views, incapable o narrow preferences,
and equally alert to promote the special
interests OF any part Of the territory when
consonant with the welfare of the whole.
IL Is scarcely necessar tQ,say that the
Iai didate should be a man of intelligence
and ability: he should also be distinguish
ed for his address. energy and push"
and should be one who possesses the gen.
eral confidence of the people without re-
gard to party, while unimpeachable in
fidelity to his own political faith.
When these qualifications are found,
the residence of the nominee is of no
more consequence than the color Of his
hair or the make of the watch he carries,
and all these THE LEADERS candidate
possesses in an eminent degree. 1t is for
tie convention to pronounce his name.
There is no county in Wyoming, let us
believe, whose democracy could not pre-.
sent the name OF at least one such leader.
Whatever his name and his residence may
be, there is one thing of which all may
rest assured and that is, THE LEADER-no
matter what may be the personal prefer
ence of those connected with twill from
the date of the convention to the day of
the election, give him its most cordial and
unwavering support.

TIE new apportionment makes Crook a
representative district, and gives that
county a share in a member of the
council, to be chosen jointly with Lara
mic, thus constituting the second council
district Separate representation for DIFF
ferent localities is to be desired in every
possible instance, and in this case the
board has come as near it as the circum-
stances admit. The resolution for an
increase in the number OF members of
the legislative assembly is good and
timely, unless the increase proposed
should be too large. Seventy-6ve or
one hundred per sent increase ought to
be sufficient to attain all desirable results,
with one added to the membership of
each house to obviate the frequency of a
tie.

When the emperor William travels
every possible measure Is taken to pro
vide for his comfort. The emperor's special
train consists of three saloon carriages,
connected with each other by a covered
way. The imperial carriage proper is
richly hung with blue damask, and at one
end there is a small compartment, in
which the emperor likes to stand at the
window when making short journeys. A
small saloon next to this coupe contains
sofa and "A spring seat, opposite which is
the emperor's lamp bed. Near the salon
Is the study, in which stands a desk with
writing mate rails, whose appearance
shows good wear. Upon a bracket above
the desk is a small mode of the column
of victory in Berlin. Adjacent to the
study is n dressing room, ficted up with
extreme care and good taste. A final
room contains two small sofas, a leaf
table, and a large mirror. With the en-
peror's own carriage is a carriage for his
suite. and this is, of course, quite differ
emily fitted up. 1t contains five or six
apartments, each containing a table and
two small couches. All the rooms are
connected by telegraph with the emper-
or's apartments. The carriages are pro-
vided with gas throughout.-Pall Mall

The reason why lawyers are excluded
from membership in the Knights of La
Dor organization is given by a Philadel-
phia member, who says: an the first
place, the lawyers produce nothing.
While that fact might not alone be suffi-
cient to keep them out, it is a principle
OF the order TO gather within its fold all
who labor to produce. The strongest
reason is that the law student, from the
time he begins to read until admitted
tothe bar, and the lawyer, from his ad-
mission to his death, is taught that what
ever is lawful IL right. That idea is so
instilled into them that they believe it
heart and soul. The lawyer could moi
make n good member, therefore, as We
know that many things lawful are not
right, and are very injurious to the work
ingmen. Chicago Times.

been chosen for the construction Of the
