The hatred borne by Queen Louise, of
Prussia, to Napoleon ultimately affected
all European history, as did, in a less
degree, the personal dislike between
Napoleon and B%ernadotte, afterward
king of Sweden. The policy of Russia
was DETECTED for years by the dislike of
the Emperor Nicholas for Louis Phil
lippe; and the Crimean war might never
hav occurred but that Sir Stratford
Canning burned to punish the same EN-
peror for refusing to receive him as am
bassador. a refusal which "the great
Eitchee" regarded as a slight, and kept
in his memory for years. A second war
between Germany and France was
averted in part through the strong
friendship between the Emperor Will
lam and his nephew. Alexander H.; and
the dislike of Prince Bismarck for Mr..
Gladstone is said, perhaps falsely. to
have repeatedly influenced his policy.
At this moment the peace of eastern
Europe is believed to be seriously threat
ened because Alexander Ill. e%ntertains
what in a less exalted person would be
called a personal spite against his Bull
garian namesake, is determined that he
shall not get on in the world, and would
lie, if he saw the means, to infict on
him some keenly felt personal humilia-
ton. In truth, IF all the world" is
right. personal likings and dislikes affect
the fate of nations almost as much us
they ever did, and in certain circum-
stances AS much rs any other single

CORPORATIONS, like individuals, have
their rights. and nowhere is it so import.
ant to maintain these rights to the fullest
extent as here, in a country where cor
porations are essential to the public well
fare and where, in fact, the work of pro.
gressive industrial development could not
go forward. except at Il snail pace, with
out their aid. A majority of the capital
invested to day in important enterprises,
stands in corporate names, and it may
well be doubted whether a majority of the
citizens, who arefortunate enough to be
Investors also, are not interested in some
form of corporate association. So great
are the benefits conferred, that there is
no need of special representation of any
corporation, or any number of corpora
tons, by the election Of a paid attorney to
the council. On the other hand, like in
dividuals, they owe duties to the public
and these duties must be enforced. Regu.
larly retained counsel might possibly bt
remiss and forgefful in enforcing these
duties, and therein lies the principal OBJ
lection, apart from mere politics, to Mr..
Riner's being chosen to represent these
corporate interests in the territorial coun-
cil, which must exercise a potent voice for
or against the passage of any law.

This is a German method to grass a
bank. Fol- each square rod to be planted
take half a pound of lawn grass eeed
and mix it intimately and thoroughly
with six cubic feet of earth and loan.
This should be placed in a tub, and
liquid manure diluted with about two
thirds of water added and well stirred
In, so as to bring the whole to the CON
sistency OF mortar. The slope must be
cleaned and made perfectly smooth, and
then well watered, after which the
paste just mentioned should be applied
with a trowel and made as even and
thin as possible. Should it crack from
exposure to the air it must again be
watered and smoothed up day by day
until the grass makes its appearance,
which will be in from eight to fourteen
Gays, when the whole declivity will
oon be covered with a close carpet of
green. Boston Globe.

To SPARE the necessity for evasion, in
case u contemporary should attempt
the defense Of its iavoritcs, and to put the
public in possession of the facts, it may
be stated that there were two resolutions
introduced in the last legislative assembly
in reference to Gen. Hancock. The first.
ii. j. X. No. 10, having passed the house
by a nearly unanimous vote, was received
in the council by a motion, made by Mr..
Teschemacher, to postpone indefinitely.
The object of the resolution was the ap.
pointment of a committee to draft suitable
resolutions, and it was fought by
the Suns f~avorite with all his
might. Subsequently, the better sense
of the Republican party having been
brought to bear on MIR. Teschemacher
and a sense of shame having not improb.
ably come TO the support OF the opinion
OF his colleagues, when ii. j. II. No. II,
embodving resolutions in honor of the
dead hero and patriot, having unani
mously passed the house, came up before
the council. Mr.. Teschcmacher was al.
lowed the rather late opportunity for re
deeming himself and removing a public
disgrace By moving its adoption, which be
accordingly did. Better c%ounsels had pre.
vailed, but the SIMS %favorite had alread,
shown his natural bent.

Where Girls Are Kept In Cages.

United States Consul Griffin, of Sgd
ney, has made some exhaustive studies
of the inhabitants of New Britain, an
island in the South Pacific ocean, and
gives the state department the benefit of
his researches. Among other things, he
says that the inhabitants have the Gus
tom of combining their girls III cages I'M
til they are old enough t. marry. These
girl cages are made of twigs of the palm
tree, and the girls are put into them
when they are only 2 or 3 years of age.
Girls are never allowed to leave the
house under any circumstances, and are
only taken out of the cage once a day &c
be washed. The girls are said to grow
VI strong and healthful in spite of thos,
disadvantages. The natives are very
fond of jewelry made of shell or bone

The legislative ticket of the Demo-
cratic party of Laramie county has been
selected with an especial view to the quail
ihcations and representative character oil
the nominees. and without regard to the
location of their respective property inter
esls, or to their having any interest at all.
Democracy does not require a property qua
LITIGATION for any ofice-though the pro-
priety has been recognized of selecting
county commissioners from the most in
tclligent Of the tax-paying class. The
Democratic candidates for the council and
house of representatives are intelligent
enough to comprehend the wants and in
terests OF their constituents and honest
enough to endeavor to meet the
one and promote the other in
any manner consistent with their duty.
But they do not go to the legislative as
sembly to make laws for Laramie county
alone, but for the whole territory with its
varied and numerous present interests
and growing industries, and the Demo
cratic convention has made choice of men
entirely competent for the task-men OF
broad and liberal views, unbiased by par
tisanship and unpledQed to the interests
of any class against the rest If the mar.
now, purblind policy of setting Laramie
county in antagonism to the rest Of Wyo-
ming were pursued. the result would be
a rank growth of territorial s~ectionalism
which in time would react d~isastrlously to
to every local as well as general interest.
The object of legislation is to promote
the general welfare. and the Democ-
racy is not willing to acknowledge
that any county has special
interests which would interfere with the
progress and prosperity of any other part
of the territory, and therefore refuse to
acknowledge any antagonism necessarily
existing between east and west, or north
and south. But they are unalterably OPP
posed to all sectionalism and class legisla
ton Of every kind. and to this end they
have chosen as candidates men capable OF
opposing those evils, in whatever shape
they may appear, with promptncss and
effect.

Mn. TEscHEMAcHER has an undoubted
right to d%isapprove of Gen. Hancock but,
it is humbly submitted that the generals

A, as far as l know, new use has been
discovered for settler water. 1t is to
bathe in. The real luxurious tip for a
morning bath is, my friend Snobson as
sures me, n carbonic bath. 1t is 30 de-
lightfuIly bracing and stimulating, don't
chew know. 1t ought to be. But there
is nothing 80 very wonderful in the use
Of mineral water baths. Almost all the
German mineral waters now SO popular
were originally utilized for bathing. Ep-
som and Glauber salt baths, too-are pre-
scribed in Europe, in the belief hat they
have a purgative effect taken externally
as well as internally. Carlsbad was
originally a bath. 1t was only when
science took the matter in hand that its
waters were adapted to table uses. The
same is true of Vichy. Kissingen, and l
don't remember how many others. Even
now. visitors at these springs bathe in as
well as drink of them.
Amuch more curious and common bath,
than mineral water, now popular here,
is of goats milk. l don't know what
virtue it has or is supposed to have, but
1t is coming into extensive vogue as an
accessory of metropolitan luxury. The
histories tell us how the sirens of an
cient Rome laved their white forms in
ass milk. and fought age off till they
were great grandmothers by this charm.
Do our own Messalinas find the process
useful, l wonder? The tribe of dom
keys has been unusually increased
among us of late, l notice. Ordinary
milk baths are also not unknown, the
physicians assure me, and starch baths
and bran baths are said to have a favor
able effect upon the skin. These latter
are prescribed for certain skin diseases,
but are of use ever when the skin is
sound. Wise men and women who can
not go to battle in the sea throw a hand
full or two of rock salt in the household
bath and enjoy a first-class imitation OF
the origiual-quite as good, indeed, as
the so-called sea salts procure. If n
one wants to &C npound a close approach
to Coney island for domestic use. a sci
entifc friend Of mine prescribes a up
full of common salt mixed with a dose
OF EPSON salt int a tablespoonful Of
sulphate of lime to half a bath tub of
water. These are the principal ingredi-
ents of sea water, and those chiefly act
i've in rendering its effects salutary.-

ALL the people Of Wyoming have such
an Astounding faith in the ample resources
and promising future of the territory hat
the prophecy of the president of the
British geological society will excite no
surprise. That distinguished scientist
says there will soon occur an outbreak OF
volcanic eruption in Yellowstone Park
that will eclipse anything OF the kind the
world has heretofore seen. He fixes the
time within which the new attraction will
be in working order at 10, 200 years which,
geologically speaking, he considers a very

The Democracy of Wyoming Territory.
in convention assembled, declare as fol-
lows
That the principles OF the Democratic
party as enumerated in its platform
adopted by the national Democratic con
vention at Chicago on July 10, 1881, are
the rule and guide of our political faith;
That We affirm the principle
ted in our national plotfofm, that the fed
eral officers in the territories should be
restricted to citizens previously resident
therein;
That we believe that the interests of our
territory demand a reorganization OF the
judicial and executive departments of our
territorial government;
That the growing interests OF our terri
tory demand increased facilities in our
mail service;
That we believe in nominating and
~elccting men to the different offices wholly
upon the ground of principles, merit and
%capability;

test against the controlling influence Of
wealth IN our elections, and pledge our
selves to do all In our power to discourage
and prevent the corrupt USE of money in
this and all future elections;
That we demand the enactment of laws
providing for arbitration between EN-
p.oy,rs and employed, and to enforce the
decisions of the arbitrators;
That we demand the abrogation of all
laws that do not bear equally upon capital
and labor, and the removal of unjust tech
nicalities. delays and determinations in the
administration of justice;
That we condemn the many hasty, op
p%ressive and illegal laws passed by our
last legislature. the enforcement of which
will lead to endless litigation, defeat the
melting out of justice to the people of our
territory, and deprive them Of vested
rights;
That We condemn the importation Of
foreign contract and pauperl labor;
That we oppose he alien ownership of
land in this territory.
