BUFFALO BILL ABROAD:
A Little Love Affair What the Cowb"ys
 Think of it.

The success of "our own" Buff sln Bill-W. r. Cody-in England is very gratifying to his thousands of admirers on this side.
 There was moro truth than many imagined in his reply 10 the inquiry:
 ''What are you doing in England"
 "Chiefy playing poker with Duches- ses."
 The English nobility quickly "co:toned to- Buffalo Bill hecausa they recognized that he belonged to higher order than their own-Nature's nobility. Despite his wild life he early managed to acquire an education and the polish which makes him easy even i'll royal society.
 His polish is the bitter fruit, 1t iS said, of a young love experience. When a young man on the plains, wild. woolly anu unkempt in appearance and char acter, he fell in love with a flashing little school teacher. Full of pluck and faith in himself, he proposed to her. She laughed at him and he-collapSed.
 After a time he braced up, bought some books, and began to stud".
 His defeat proved his victory. The girl was his mascot, and h:s successes are due 10 her.
 Magnificent specimens of manhood though they be Bills boys" are not perfection.
 Under date: "Buffalo Bills Wild West Co.,, London, Sept. 19, 1SS7," D. w. Shoemaker of the Cowboy Band, writes: "Some weeks ago l was suffer ing from great disorder of the liver and kidneys and general prostration. l WAS forced to quit work and take my bed. l called in a physician, who onl y afforded temporary relief. A friend induced me to take Warmers safe cure, which afforded almost instant relief, and after taking three bottles, find myself in as good health as at any time in my life"
 Two other members of the Wild West show, Nave Beardsley, pony express rider, and Jim Mitchell, cowboy, add to this statement of Shoemaker's, that in their long experience on the plains, from change of water, climate, and mode of life, and severe riding, they became subject to liver and kidney diseases, aad they have found sure remedy for these troubles in Warmers safe cure. Nave Beardsley says: "I constantly recon mend it to my friends"
 Buffalo Bill has pluck and courage and hard sense, and not only controls all the wild elements that make up the Wild West show, but controls himself.
 His experience as a scout makes him wary, discreet and shrewd- He quickly learns the best way to secure results and, like true man, has no prejudices against anything that proves its merits
 Buffalo Bill is so popular in England he may come home "Sir William. But if not he will probably enjoy himsel quite as well, having secured a fortune ample enough for all his wants, title O no title.

Representative Springer of Hi nois, chairman of the house com mittee on territories, re ferring to the probably action of his commit tee says: Illinois men have been chairman of the committee on terri tories in the house and senate at a time when more states have been admittd to the union than at any other time. Douglas in the senate and Richardson of Illinois. in the house made a record which 1 hope the present house committee on territories will equal. 1 think it will recommend in this congress the ad- mission of four territories as states Dakata as whole-one state Montana, Washington territory, and possible New Mexico.
 Referring to the disputed points as to the division of Dakota, Mir. Springer said that his committee would be likely to consider the ele- ment of population and not acres in agreeing upon admission. He did not speak quite so confidently of New Mexico as of the other two, and seemed to think there might be little doubt therc as 10 the a. mount of population, out he spoke with the greatest confidence as to the three other territories.
 He declined to 1 i've any opii n as to whether the representative of the Mormons will endeavor to sec ure the admission of Utah, but from expressions of opinion which thus far been obtained from the members there does not seem to be much probability that bill to ad- init Utah will pass.

E. H. Cook is in receipt ofa let ter from T. s. Bunch, dated Hol- brook, Dec. 24th, giving informa- tion of the coal deposit in Apache county. The vein can be traced for some sixty miles from a point near Cibicu creek north to within fifteen miles of the Atlantic & Paci- fic railroad. The coal is said to be A in quality and suitable for cok- ing. Mir. Bunch and others inter ested in getting a railroad built through that portion of Apache county, are now having a quantity of the coal mined with a view of thoroughly testing it's value for cOk- ing and for blacksmith purposes.

A LoNDEN dispatch says that late details of the great flood in China make the story one of the most terrible in history. What was a beautiful and populous district of 10000 square miles is now roll ing sea.

communication and publication herein before mentioned, meant or intended to mean that there had been, a corrupt and unlawful set clement between the plaintiff and the said District Attorney of the criminal charges against the said plaintiffs client, Vim. Jackson.
 Defendant denies that the mat ter set forth in plaintiffs complaint from line, etc., meant or intended, pr referred, or implied, or suggest ed in any manner the willingness, capacity or ability of plaintiff to bribe and corruptly influence, in duce or persuade said District At torney to unlawtully settle crimi- nal charges and indictments pend ing against the clients of plaintiff, or did 1t mean, or were the words used therein intended to be con strued or understood to imply that the reason why the indictment pre- ferred against John Blevins could not be compromised and he receive the same immunity from punish mcnt as had been vouchsafed to others equally as guilty of crime and amenable to the criminal stat utes was, that he, Blevins, had not been so fortunate as to secure plain tiff as his counsel.
 Denies that he caused the paper to be circulated, and denies that he caused the article to be read de- nies that he meant that the readers of the article should believe that the plaintiff was dishonorable lawyer, or had been guilty of the crime of bribery or other crime !; denies that said article was slan- derous, malicious or false, or that he knew it was libellous; denies that he circulated it; denies that plaintiff has been damaged.
 In other words, the Judge admits that he wrote and published very ugly and libellous article about a prIvate cit:zen-but denies that he intended any harm, and insists that however slanderous the article may have been that-it did no damage
 As to its circulation, there were received here not less than ten CO., pies of the paper-wc received two and ordinarily our exchange and one other copy are the only ones received here. Every English read ing man in this community saw and read the pnper-a large bundle was received through the mails and they were generally circulated. So much for that denial" We pretend to know nothing of law, but our judg- ment is that the Judge will have to make better showing than that, or take the consequences.

THE legislation upon financial subjects which has been proposed in both houses ofCongress is i'll the direction of an increased volume of the currency. The house commit tee on banking and currency has a. greed to report favorably what was known in the last congress as the McPherson bill relating to national banks. This bill in brief, provides that national banks may take out circulation to the amount of the par valne of the bonds deposited by them as security for their circu- lation, instead of 90 per cent, which is now authorized by law. This bill received the unanimous support of the senate finance committee in the last congress and passed the senate by large majority, but it failed in the house with so many other inn portant measures. The members of the banking and currency at this session have determined not to allow the bill to fall through on ac- count of any neglect of theirs in re- porting it early, and accordingly it has been the first measure upon which the committee has acted.

The Most Celebrated of Song Birds.

One of the most celebrated of song birds
is the nightingale, or night singer. 1t is
migratory. This famous bird is common in
nearly all parts of Europe. 1t migrates in
winter into Egypt and Syria. 1t has been
seen among the willows Of Jordan and the
olive trees of Judea In no parts of Europe
is it more common than in Spain or Italy;
but even in these southern regions the bird is
migratory
The nightingale is shy in its habits It's
nest is placed low and hiddel from view Its
eggs, five in number, are of an olive brown
Its food consists Of insects In color it is
brown with reddish tinge on the back and
tail. As a songster the bird is unsurpassed
Though its notes are heard at intervals dur
ing the day, they are poured fourth in their
greatest perfection on quiet evenings, an
hour or two after sunset; and when the moon
isvery full, and the weather is serene, the
melodious song of the nightingale may be
heard till midnight.

their after theatre supper.

Nat, III make him solid with that girl

Short Hair, Long Locks and Wig,


Few matters connected with every day
life have received more reverential attention
than the hair of the head and face Of human
kind. The Hebrews wore their hair short,
excepting always the case of the Nazarites,
whose hair vow kept long. The Greeks
wore their hair so long as to win from Ho-
mer the distinction of "long locked, ," and the
Romans were even more hlstidious than
Greeks in the culture Of their hair. The
Egyptians wore not only false hair, but false
boards, and are credited with the invention
of wigs, In the wigs preserved in the British
and Berlin museums, the upper portion of
he wig will be found made with curled hair,
the plated hair being confined to the lower
part and sides. These wigs were worn both
within the house and out of doors. At par
ties the head dress of the guests was bound
with chaplet of flowers, and ointment was
put upon the top of the wig, as if it had
really been the hair of the head.
