THE UNIVERSITY.

The ninth territorial legislature Of Wyo-
ming, whatever may have been its short
comings IN minor points, has certainly
shown itself capable of looking beyond the
present and provident of the future wants
of a great state. The building of a CAPT
tol and the founding Of benevolent insti-
tutions would sufficiently demonstrate the
foresight and craftsmanship of the pro-
moters of the measures. so foreign to the
grudging spirit Of false economy which so
frequently prevails in contemporary legis-
lation. The usual maxim is, Let poster
ity take care Of hemselvesr-though in
this case, it is not a question of inheri-
lance but of quick succession, and the
constituents Of the Legislators will reap the
benefit Of their memorable work.
The establishment OF a territorial uni
verity was perhaps the most important
measure which has yet become a part Of
territorial law, and If the institution shall
be organized and conducted in the same
spirit in which il has been originated it
will exercise commanding influence on the
future Of the commonwealth. The small
beginning is a~dequateito the purpose Of
placing the great educational enterprises
upon a firm basis, and the public spirit of
a progressive people will do the rest. 1t
is important in framing the plan of such
an institution that it should be regarded
rather as a groundwork to which might
conveniently be added whatever the wants
Of the coming time require. Let every
thing undertaken DO complete as far as it
goes, but leave ample scope and margin
for improvement on the original design by
the addition Of new features. 1t would
be folly to expect with the means at hand,
at once to place in active operation n great
institution Of learning such as few Of the
states have succeeded in establishing after
years of experiment, and nothing less
should satisfy the ultimate ambition of the
people of Wyoming.

NJ. Ballaud asserts that iour kept in
sacks for two or three years is unwhole-
some, because alkaloids are formed in
consequence Of the acidity Of the old
-four during the Transformation of gluten
under the influence of the natural fer
ment Of wheat. When such Hour is
treated with ether and the product svap-
grated ON a sand bath, there is found a
fatty matter which has an acid reaction,
exhales a di~sagreeable odor and has an
acrid taste. If little hot water is added
and the mixture permitted to stand over
the sand bath a short time and then
permitted to cool, the alkaloids may
easily be recognized on glass slides on
employing the usual tests. The reactions
may be obtained with -four even but a
year to a year and a half old, but they
are very marked with -four which had
lain two or three years after having been
milled.

MAKING A AeApFoREMosT LEAP.

An InEenions Arrangement In Use on the
stake-JumpinE Into tho water,
In play now running in the east an
actor LEAPS headlong from the walls of a
prison into apparent water. He actually
falls twenty-three feet clear in the sight
of the audience. The device by which
he escapes injury Is ingenious. A c an
vas cont is fixed under the stage, with
its large end even with the stage. which
is arranged to represent water. This end
is covered with rubber cloth, also painted
to represent water. The rubber cloth is
cut acr ,ss in its center, the cuts reach
ing half way from the center to the
edge. The ring or edge OF this circle is
hung on thick rubber springs. As the
cone narrows to its apex three other
rings are disposed at proper intervals,
covered with a netting that easily breaks,
affording only a slight resistance.
Now, when the headforemost leap is
made, the leaper covers first twenty
three feet Of clear space unresisted. He
then strikes the center of the diaphragm,
and the rubber cloth. partially giving
way, still offers some resistance, and,
clinging around his shoulders, retards
his progress without harming him at all.
The next and the next. and still the next,
or last. ring in turn offer enough resist
ance to check the fall until the apex Of
the cone, by its narrowing, holds the
diver in a close embrace about the Shout
ders, with his head ~protruding from the
opening. Thus far the diver has not
hurt himself. Cincinnati Commercial

The jarabe, more familiarly known as

native Mexicans. A man or woman

women are scarce the men pair of-and
dance. or rather stamp, a kind of smooth
cred shuttle, which is neither clog dance
nor reel. The dancers do not need much
space to execute it successfully, and
hence the large, ~iat-bottomed freight
boats, which ply between the city and
Chalco, afford ample accommodations
for their simple revels. The music on
these occasions is usually a harp and a
bandolon, the latter being an instrument
much like the guitar, with twelve metal
strings, and the dancers generally chime
in their voices, making a wild chorus,
which once heard, can never be forgot

uresque thar a feet of these noisy, flower

A BILL o pending in congress pro
vides for the organization of the new
territory Of Oklahoma, to consist Of a
part of Indian Territory and of the pub
lie land strip A special provision saves
the property and treaty rights of the In
disrsfrom interference aud reserves the
public lands from entry except under the
homestead act. As the proposed enact
ment does not directly infringe upon the
guarantees Of the treaties with the Indian
Nations and offers a ready escape
from a constant patrolling of the border

laiion. such an extent Of fertile land

UNDER a federal system like ours the
relations Of a territory to the general gov
eminent, while perfectly regular, seem
an unnatural violation of the principle of
local self government. Therefore it is a
time honored policy to admit the terri
tories as soon as they acquire a population
large enough to be entitled to representa-
ton upon the basis of congressional APP
portionment among the states. There
have been instances where wen this re-
quirement has not been exacted, but these
have been TIE result Of purely political
causes. But 10 entitle a community to
statehood there are certain forms of pro-
cedure to be observed, not absolutely es-
sential but necessary because prescribed.
These have on several occasions been dis
regarded, to that lessening of that respect
for usage which tempts to dangerous nov
city. The enabling act should naturally
precede state organization, and in this as
in all things Of similar character, it is bet
ter to establish one good precedent than
TO follow a score Of doubtful examples.

THE COMING SEASON.

In the opinion Of men well qualified BY
experience and long observation to read
the signs Of the times, the comma season
will be an active and prosperous one for
all the business interests of Cheyenne.
The great stock-growing industry has had
the benefit of a mild winter and will
probably be largely increased by new in
vestments, and new developments of
mineral wealth may confidently be ex-
pected from the construction Of railroads
through regions known to be rich in the
precious and useful metals, as well as in
oil-ields and beds of coal. This will
stimulate thoroughness in prospecting and
induce n greater willingness to venture
capital in the working of mines already
opened. These causes, combined with
the certain increase Of population, will
promote the material advancement and
rapid growth Of the territory, and what
ever benefits Wyoming must, in every re-
spect. prove advantageous to her capital.
By the early completion of the new nail
road the city will speedily justify the al
most unanimous belief Of her citizens as
expressed at the polls, and become a rail-
road centre. This one enterprise will
give to business a greater impetus than
any it has yet received.

The recent contested election case in
volving the representation Of the tenth
congressional district of Ohio imparts a

ness of Democrats TO rise above mere

SENATOR INGALLS, has introduced a

ownership of land by any corporation or

is not difficult to foresee the fate of any

factors in producing the unexampled

tire freedom extended to enterprise from

OF interference on the part Of government
