WAT OF THE FUTURE?
The Lander MouRtdineer quotes this
paragraph from Governor Warren's in
a%uEural address;
During the year 1888 we were assessed
for a special purpose-the building of q
capitol-24 mills; and for 1889 it will be
about the same, for similar purposes; but
this will be discontinued as unnecessary
hereafter.
1t then adds: us this to be construed
as a notice to the rest of the territory that
because ample provision for the compile
zion of the capitol has been made that
the public buildings outside of Cheyenne
are to be ignOred2
Tell us how we are going to raise the
money to complete the penitentiary and
the poor farm; the necessary amount will
have to be raised by taxation, and the
assessment will be fully as great as the
one for the capitol wings; what is more,
the eleventh legislature will have to make
provisions for the completion of these in
stitution. and vctoes don't go in Wyo-

A veteran correspondent of The Bucks
port Clipper describes q muster that took
place In Hnmpden sixty years ago, of
which he was a part. The first sound
that struck his ear In the morning was
the martial music of the Carmel band,
on its way to the field, and soon the road
was full Of tramping soldiers. The state
militia of those days were not required
to dress In any but their usual clothing,
and their appearance was not brilliant
by any means; but the gay uniforms of
the Bangor company, Capt. Bryant, the
Hampden rifles, Capt. Hannibal Hamlin,
and the Hampden light infantry, Capt.
Snow, shone out like stars In the leaden
sky, and added greatly to the whole dis
play. Capt. Hamlin was every inch n
soldier and his horsehair plume was a
sight to sec. One novel feature of tho
Hampden muster was the "sailor COM
pany." A month before the muster, all
the sea faring people, captains, mates
n seanen, including some of the larger
boys, made up their minds that they
would have a little diversion ON their
own hook and In their own way on the
interesting occasion. So they organized
a company, drilled and went to muster,
too. Their appearance on the field with
their wbite pants, blue jackets, t%arpaulin
hats with a liberal display of black rib
bons hanging as neck bands, was neat
and trig, and they were the admiration
Of all observers.-Lewiston Journal.

paI1.o,. Female Friends.

Balzac met the celebrated Duchesse
d'Abrantes at the house of Sophie Gay
In the time of Louis XVIII Her high
spirits, her knowledge of tho world, the
strange career she had passed through,
rendered her a very interesting object to
the author of ia Coincide Humane"
She had a good figure, n pleasant face,
chestnut hair, and the prestige Of the
imperial world, of which she had been
one of the queens. 1t is not unlikely
that she suggested the glorifcation Of
the forties, of which mention has been
made; and certainly the vicissitude of
her fortune must have supplied to an
Imaginative mind many sad reflections
on the instability of human happiness.
When she published her Memoirs"
Balzac was Of great service for her, for
he was not a bad hand at driving a liter
airy bargain. But no reinforcement of
her finances proved more than tempo
rary. In the golden days of Napoleon she
had contracted an extravaganza she
never could master. Her circumstances
went from bad to worse and at last, in
1888. the splendid mistress Of the most
fashionable salon of the empire, after
hearing from her sick bed her effects sub
mitted to the hammer, had to be removed
to lodgings still moro humble, where, in
absolute s~qualor, attended only by her
faithful maid, she passed unnoticed from
life.
Georges Sand was not introduced to
Balzao till 1881. She had then written
Indiana" and he the "Peau de Cha
grim" 30 that both were In a sense estab-
lished literary people. Balzac, however,
had still severe struggles before him, for
he was slow In establishing supremacy.
He had n sincere admiration for Georges
Sands talents, and 1t is well known that
the character of Camille Maupin, in
"Beatrix," was founded on a careful
study Of the authorizes of Leila and
the rest. But no friendship existed be-
tween the two beyond frank literary
comradeship. 1t seems strange to hear
that Georges Sand found Balzac under
taking to read Rabelais aloud. altogether
too coarse; indeed, she denounced him,

A room BUSINESS.

On this beautiful Easter Sunday morn
ing a large party of sports are booked 10
make a trip across the Colorado line to
witness n pair Of striplings pound each
other in a prize ring under the Marquis
of Queensberry rules. Neither of the
contestants has reached the age of dis.
c%rction, but both believe that they can
fight and probably they can. A contest
of this character between a pair of men
is scarcely an cdifying spectacle, but when
a pair of boys are set at work to d~isigure
each other for the ediication of a crowd
Of grown up people, the spectacle pcs
scses every element of decentralization.
The effect IF such a siEht is demOraliz-
ing on the youth of the community.
Boys are naturally initiative. They look
to older folks for rules OF conduct
and eagerly accept the STANDARD set for
them. If prize fighting is the test which
brings the recognition. then in hat direc-
%rection their thoughts are turned, to the
neglect OF many Of their essential ele.
ments which go TO make up the character
of good citizens.
Prize fighting has of late years unfor-
'%unately afforded a too easy road to motor
iety and the duings of the most vulgar
bruisers are heralded abroad while meri-
torious manhood hangs its diminished
head. The LEADER has never professed
any squcamish s%cruples on this OF any
other subject, but it enters an unequivocal
protest against prize fights between boys
which are gotten up for the edification of
older men who might be otherwise en-
ployed to the better advantage of them
selves and the community in which they
live.
