Manghooria appears to be the paradise
of bankers. Our consul in Newchwang
says that it is well known wealthy man
darins and merchants, not caring for
their wealth to be known, make deposits
with bankers without taking receipts,
and that it is q curious fact that rather
than risk the loss Of capital so deposited
by its becoming known to the paternal
government, to whom probably such
capital rightly belongs, no interest is de-
rived from such deposits, except Of course
for the bankers w investments. AT
the death of a depositor his heir may not
know that 100, 600 taels, more or less,
are deposited in some bank or other.
From such causes as these, says CHS au-
thority, native bankers become very rich.

Charles ~Fredendall, a brother of Ira L..
Fredendall, died suddenly at Laramie City
on Tuesday night, and a telegram to that
effect was sent here a few minutes after
the sad event. Chief Fredendall went to
Laramie on yesterday mornings flyer and
Is still there. Charles Fredendall was quite
well known in Cheyenne where he resided
for some time. He had been in invalid
for some years and yet his death Tuesday
night was totally unexpected, and Ira had
received a letter from him that day. He
leaves a wife and two or three children.

A Narrow Escapes.

Little Byron Baird seems to have the
happiest faculty of making narrow escapes
of any boy in town. His latest adventure
was at his fathers ranch. He rode his
pony to meet the train coming down last
evening and as he attempted to dismount
his foot caught in the stirrup and he was
thrown to the ground. The horse ran
away dragging the little fellow in this
p%erilous position until his foot was shaken
loose. He reached home last night moth
ing the worse for his adventure, but orna-
mented with a beautiful black eye.

The fall term of school will open on the
first Monday of September, which will be
on the Sd of that month. In the mean
time the teachers county institute, which
is to be under the management and direc.
ton OF DR.. w. A. Wyman, county super.
intendent of public schools, will convene
at the Central school house Monday, Aug.
81, and all the teachers who are to teach
during the coming school year will doubt
less be on hand, for the law makes it
obligatory on them to do so, and they
draw the same pay hat they would if &C.
tually engaged in teaching during that
time.

John Gehm started on his road to the
Joliet penitentiary yesterday. Sheriff
Sharpless having him in charge. The
precaution was taken to shackle him be-
fore starting so as to prevent the posi-
bility of an escape, for Mr.. Gehm is not
to be trusted any further than you could
throw a meeting house by the steeple,
having made his escape once from the
county Jail. Gehm still PERSISTED up to
the time of his departure that he wasn't
going to remain in Joliet longer hat thir-
teen months, and he has been behaving
quite badly in the county jail for some
time,

ton Of their time was devoted to the con-

A queer little growth makes its APP
pearance in the wire grass country of
Georgia. 1t is called by the natives the
dollar plant, from the singularity Of its
leaves, which are perfectly round, lying
fiat upon the ground, and when full
grown the exact size of a dollar. When
the plant is pulled up it is seen that the
leaves retain their perfect roundness from
their incipiency, and grow through all
the gradations the money takes, from
the size of the silver five cent piece to
dimes, quarters, halves and the coin from
which it takes its name. In summer it
throws out from the center a cluster of
yellow, flowers Brooklyn Eagle.

D,wALT,s
The Little Napoleon" Would Like a
Pardon.

Mr.. Frank Dew alt, the financial prod
ogy of Leadville, COL, who is sometimes
called the Little Napoleon" in ~inancer.
ing, and who was formerly a banker at
Leadville, wants a great big pardon at
the hands of President Cleveland. Mr..
DeWalt, who for some time past has had
rooms at the Laramie City penitentiary,
under the careful care and supervision of
United States Marshal Carr, has lately
addressed a very feeling letter to Presi-
dent Cleveland, In which he states his
case in the best light possible-for him
self.
According to DeWalt he is a much
abused man, and instead of being in the
~penitentiary with his head shaved he
thinks he is entitled to his liberty, and
feels, or pretends to feel, confident that
he will get it. Congressman Mckinley,
of Ohio, is said to be a great friend of the
Leadvllle banker, and it is through his
agency principally that DeWalt expects
to get a pardon.
in addition to DeWalt there are two or
three others in the Laramie penitentiary
who would like to have pardons, and who
have now written to President Cleveland
about the matter. Sometime ago the
president granted a pardon to a man
named Irwin who belongs in Colorado,
and who was confined at the Laramie pen
itentiary at the time, and this seems to
have set all the rest of the prisoners crazy
on the subject of pardons.

1t appears hat they have had some ex-
ceedingly bad weather up around Buffalo,
in johnson county, of late, and it seems
more like fall weather there now than it
does like midsummer. They have had
not only rain storms by the score, but
have also had hail storms, and snow has
even fallen there within the past few
days. The streams are full OF water up
there and they have but little use for irri-
cation bitches this summer.

No Trouble After All.

A lady in this city got considerably
alarmed yesterday morning in regard to
the welfare of her little girl. The young
girl went to a livery stable in the city
where she had been promised a horse and
buggy for her use in taking a ride with
another young miss. The horse and
buggy were furnished, but some young
man who is an employee around a hotel
got into the buggy ard drove away with
the girl. The next that was heard Of
them was hat they had been seen driving
into Fort Russell. The mother became
very much alarmed, the sheriff and city
marshal were notified, and there was
quite a stir made about it, and while the
excitement was at a fever heat the young
man and the little miss drove back into
the city-they having driven to Fort Rus
sell simply that the horse might have a
liCtle exercise before the young miss and
her still younger companion who was
waiting for a ride should undertake to
drive the horse alone.

Give me, please, Shoninger's Music store. Say Central, wont you please transaa init the message to them-they are such a reliable house it is really not even neces- sary to examine their Pianos-that I want them to send me a fine Weber Upright just like the one they sold Miss c, neigh
 Dor of mine. It is justJelegant, both in style finish and tone-and say, Central,
 tell them l shall expect fine stool and scarf, as a gift, one offathe inducements they make for the holidays. Shoninger's is the only company that favors
 customers in that direction, but the other
 dealers, poor fellows they are so poor I prefer to buy of a reliable house one that i know will be here right along and always
 makes every promise good.
 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but we assure you
 business has been done with us exactly on this plan, while some agents chase
 customers meeting them at every cross road
 in season and more often out of season, until the customers are afraid their com 1 panions will think they arc in debt to the agents Shoninger by honorable
 straight forward dealings steps in and
 makes the sale. Avoid such agents. They are considering your pocketbook more than the quality of the goods they are trying to l sell you. We have no state agents, no | county agents or town agents, because we combine all that ourselves under one head Manufacturers and state agents, and save you at least two profits. Extra induce ments for the holidays.

CHRISTMAS.

No more the rising sun shall gild the meln
 Nor evening Cynthia fill her silver horn;
 But lost, dissolved, in thy superior rays,
 Oae tide of glory, one unclouded blaze,
 O'erhow thy courts; the light himself shall shine Reveal'd, and Gods eternal day be thine.
 The seas shall waste the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed his word, his saving power remaius! Thy realm forever lasts, tiny own Messiah reigns
 Thus sings Pope as he tells of the birth of the Messiah. Christmas day, which commentaries the nativity of the Saviour, is peculiarly the Christian fes tival It is the day when above all others the Christian lifts hls heart in joy and thankfulness that the promised Messiah has appeared on earth to fulfill his mission of love and redemption. It is day when the hearts of men, like those of the shepherds of Judea, are filled with peace and good will to all mankind. And though Christmas is ripe in its wealth of religious traditions, it has come to be a universally recognized holiday, one when ties of friendship are strength ened and bonds of love forged stronger by the mutual exchange of tokens of regard. Christmas has come to be a peculiarly gladsome day, one to which young and old, rich and poor, high and lowly look with longing hope as the time when their hearts will be made glad by the sure token that they are remembered in the hearts of their friends. It is this spirit of kindliness and hearty good will that makes Christmas the most gladstone day of all the year.
 But to the children especially does Christmas come laden with joy and hope Their little childish hearts are filled with great longing for the day and the hap. piness which they find in the generous gifts bestowed by parents and friends. Gladly the boy, with Christmas box in hand Throughout the town his devious route pursues And of his friends and parents hard mplores The yearly mite; often his cash he shakes;
 The which, perchance, of coppers few consists, Whose dulcet jingle fills his little soul
 With joy.
 Parents and friends should esteem it sacred duty to make glad the hearts O the little ones of their household whicl are filled with the hope and expectancy of the happy season. In the joy of th, little ones their own hearts will find tn, tenderest blessings of the day. And i from their abundance they share witt the little ones who have none to whom they can look for kindly recognition the, will add joy and happiness to thei own Christmas that no other. thing car impart. It is this kindly spirit of benev olence and charity that will bring peac, and good will to the hearts and the home of Christians on Christmas day. And i is this spirit of kindly giving that will b.
