The Toilers of tSs4Rt.

We are in Nubia, the climate, the differ
ent types of the negro race, their black
skins displayed with a lavish disregard of
dress, all remind us that we are indeed III
Africa, for all about us are the very
scenes we used tn see in the geography
pictures when but children. Myself a ma
tive of the south, and familiar with plan
tation life in half a dozen different states,
before as well as since the civil war, l find
these Africans in their own country a par
%ticularly interesting study. We have
watched them at their daily toll, and far
too often are they made to work night as
well as day, until exhausted nature could
stand no more. Their food is lentils, q
grain something like barley, but tasting
more like the bean. A coarse, dry bread,
that a well bred dog would not eat at
home. Sometimes a few dates as a lux
ury, and this is all. We buy a sheep now
and then for the boats crew, and they are
as ravenous over it as a pack of starving
wolves. TIL crews of the boats are at
least decently covered, but with a great
number clothing is unknown. We see
these people drawing water from the river,
toiling in the fields and laboring in the
great sugar mills of the Nile.
For my part, can truly saythat slavery
was not understood by me before visiting
Egypt. In intelligence and responsibility
the average of these people, not simply
Nubians, but those of Egypt as well, 1
mean, of course, the felaheen, do not COM
pare with our plantation negroes. The
alleged cataracts are nothing more than
rapids, not as fine as those above Niagara
falls, nor the Lachine of the st. Lawrence.
We descended the lesser one in a small
row boat, found it exciting, with perhaps,
a spice of danger in it. 1t was good sport
to watch the ebony sons of the desert leap
from the rocky cliff into the seething
waters of the great cataract, then, after a
hard struggle, scamper up the steep bank,
and, by the dozen, make our ears ring
with the din of the national motto, back
scheash, backscheash," all in chorus

Quite Right.
t]Sundance Gazette

The Republicans are claiming Sun
dance precinct as one OF the strongholds
Of the party, but the primaries of the
two parties tell a different story. The
Republicans on Saturday polled 100 votes
after keeping the polls open three hours.
The Democrats Tuesday cast ll2 votes,
although the polls were open only one
hour. The fact is, the Republicans win
great victories with their mouths and gen
orally carry everything in sight just before
election, but when the returns come in
they sing low until another campaign
rolls around, This is a great Democratic
year, and don't you forget it.

The encouragement of home industry is
something which everybody doesn't al
ways practice. When, however, the
character of the goods and the quality of
the workmanship will compare with the
very best ~obtainable elsewhere, there is
no possible excuse for anyone going away
from home to purchase goods. We have
in Cheyenne a cigar mandatory which
would be a credit to any town. Its pro.
prietor is Frank Boehm, who has built up
frcm a small beginning a thriving and
constantly extending business. He has
done this bv the honesty of his goods
and the superior quality of his workman
ship. The article which he puts upon
the market is always exactly what he rep
resents it to be, and it is always worth
the full value that he charges tor it. Mr..
BOehm has won success bv deserving 1t,

Fat with Comfort and BE Happy

1t is by no means uncertain, but on the
contrary a well ascertained fact, that upon
the well being of mans stomach depends
that modicum of happiness which is
vouchasafed to him in this world. Dys.
pepsia, the foe of all others to the stom-
ach's tranquility, and most to be dreaded,
is a complaint to the preliminary relief
and eventual cure of which Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is specially adapted. Il
enables those who use it with a reasona-
BILE degree of persistence to eat with
relish, because it imparts a healthful an
petite; to digest it'll ease. because it
strengthens the stomach, and to assimi-
late the food which is eaten and digested,
thus bcnetitting health. promoting
