AT THE THRESHOLD.

THE LEADER has heretofore pointed
out that the danger to Wyoming
chances Of admission into the Union
would come from a possible enlargement
with New Mexico. That this Judgment
was sound Is clearly indicated BY the
tenor Of the dispatch from our Washing
ton correspondent published in another
column. At the same time be shows that
the attempt of Republican papers to
make out that the bill for Wyoming ad
mission will be fought by the Democratic
members of the house is based more upon
partisan bigotry than common sense.
There is no good political reason why
it should be otherwise for Wyoming IL
clearly debatable ground.
Fortune favors Wyoming this year.
She has no heavy load Of M~ormonism,
Job lot land rants or odoriierous record
to weight her down. Nothing hut blum
dering or negligence can prevent the pas

a Dog without a brain.

At the last meeting of German neurol-
ogists, held in Baden-Baden, Professor
GoItz, of Strasburg, reported a most re-
markable experiment. He cut out, in
two operations, almost the entire cere-
brum of a dog, leaving only the cerebei-
lun and q small portion of the base or
the cerebrum. The animal lived for
f~fty-one days after the last operation,
and then died of pneumonia. The re-
markable part of the experiment was the
influence it had on the dog, who, . few
hours after the operation, raised himself
on his hind legs, put his paws over the
side of his box and looked inquiringly
around. He could walk, eat and drinkr
and would chew any food that was
placed in his mouth. Waking ard sleep
ing alternated naturally. He was rest
less before feeding, but afterwerd would
become quiet and sleep. A slight touch
would awaken him from sleep, During
urination and defecatich the animal as
sumed the normal position. Hearing,
taste and smell were of course absent

Hamilton's son, Philip. a few years

from political attacks, had become
embroiled in duel. He had met his
antagonist at Weehawken, opposite
New York, and been killed. Hamil
ton at this time was so impressed
with the noxious influence of the
code that he published a pamphlet
against it.
But there were many reasons why
it was difficult for him to decline to
meet Burr. He had formerly sane
TONED the practice he now condemn
ed by serving as second to Col.
Laurens in a duel with Gen. Lee. His
own son had fallen three years be-
lore in las it was considered at the
time) vindication of his fathers
honor. He was prominent as an
aspirant for the first office in the Gift
of the people. Today a duel would
doubtless decide the question against
him, Then he regarded u refusal to
fight as fatal to his chances. Had he
possessed certain moral strength,
often deficient in some of the Hamil-
lions, he would have acted upon his
convictions. He was too weak to do
this and accepted the challenge.

Where Enemies Are Beneficial,

"To succeed in literature it is bet
ter to have many more good enemies
than good friends. Good friends are
like women who tire OF their lovers,

ing to emulate La Rochefoucauld,

took place at Atlanta few days

Tucker left letter giving instruc.
tions concerning his funeral. He di-
rected that he be buried in "a coffin OF
wood thatit might rot He instruct
ed that prayers be offered for any
body connected by affinity or con-
sanguinity with his family: for any
body who had ever done a favor or
good turn for him or his family; for
everybody who had injured him in
any way. There was to be no adj
dress of any kind at the funeral and
no music, only prayer and reading
of Scripture. His orders were car
ried out to the letter.
