Who said that men fear DEATH
Who concocted that fable for old
wivesf He should have stood that
night with Philip in the midst of a
host of 125, 900 men in the full flush
and vigor of life, calmly and deliber-
ately making ready at dawn to receive
death in its most horrid forms at one
another's hands. II Is In vain that re-
Ggion invests the tombs With terror,
and philosophy, shuddering, averts
her face; the nations turn from these
gloomy teachers TO storm its portals
in e%xultant hosts, battering them wide
enough for thousands to charge
through abreast. The heroic instance
OF humanity with its high contempt
Of death Is wiser and truer, never let
us doubt, than superstitious terrors or
philosophic doubts. 1t testifes to a
conviction, deeper than reason, that
man is greater than his seeming self
to an underlying consciousness that
his mortal life is but an accident OF
his real existence, the fashion of a
day, to be lightly worn and gayly
doffed at duty's call.
What a pity it truly is that the tom
ic air of battlefields-the air that Phil
ip breathed that night at Antietam-
cannot be gathered up and preserved
as a precious elixir to reinvigorate the
atmosphere in times of peace when
men grow faint of heart and cowardly
and quake at thought of death.-Ed-
ward Bellamy in Century.

Some Notable Reproductions of ideas In
Observation-Disclosures InexorabIe.

SS-~1 ~ @A.- 80
Observation-Disclosures memorable.
All great writers have initiated here
and there, but always consciously and
for their own amusement solely. Many
of these reproductions nave been very
brilliant, but upon no one OF them has
the fame of an author ever rested. When
Coleridge wrote his remarkable para
phrase of the Bible, 1.-THE Wanderings of
Cain" it was undoubtedly an event in
the literary world, and brought him
great praise; but IL Coleridge had never
written ''Cristabel," or 'sThe Ancient
Mariner" or "Kubla Khan" what niche
in literature's temple would Coleridge
occupy today7 Byron, in his Heaven
and Earth" wrote a description of the
flood which for dramatic power, vivid
portrayal and s~tupendous strength, far
exceeds the Bibles picture; but because
the flood had been the Bibles peculiar
property for hundreds of years before
Byron was born, so it will continue to
hold its rights to the end of time.
To come down in the scale, "St. Elmo"
and "Rutledge" owed their great vogue
to the popularity of "Jane Eyre" and
the inspiration their authors drew from
that famous novel The duchess and
Helen Mathers pressed their lips to the
fever stricken mouth of Rhoda Brough-
ton and took the disease In a milder
form. Rita and Amelie Rives have
snatched tho falling mantle of Ouida,
divided 1t In half and wound it 30 closely
about themselves that it has become an
extra cuticle and could only be removed
by q surgical operation.
Great original genius Is only recog-
nized and admitted after a desperate
fight, because there is no greater coward
than the intellectual public. Tho well
furnished and critical brain has every
shelf of its cells fitted up with the lore
upon which centuries or generations of
public approval nave set their sea-. 1t
knows that to admire that choice library
is both safe and proper; it gives one dig
nifty and 1t gives one pleasure. Any
thing, therefore, which Is radically diff
ferent from the inhabitants of those
precious shelves must perforce be worth
less.
People do not stop TO compare or even
to remember the difference between the
succeeding literatures Of past gener-
atoms. Think of the monotony of the
worlds letters IL no original minds had
ever come TO break loose from traditions,
inaugurate new schools and plant new
ideasl Suppose the glorious galaxy now
illuminating our past had succumbed TO
the inevitable fire of public protestation,
what sort of n literature would we have
today1 Unquestionably the literature of
one generation, even of one decade, is
the natural result Of the literature i'm
mediately preceding It; evolution is in
exorable. But upon this force of heredity
operate the great and complex forces of
the times, and the man who is thrust
head and shoulders above the mass. as
the target of his generation and a
landmark for posterity, is he in whom
both forces have met and been ignited
by the divine spark that shot in his I'M
born brain. whence no man can tell

In Siberia, if a man is dissatisfied

She may claim the first child. The
others belong to the husband.
Among the Moors, If the wife does
not become the mother of a boy, she

Parm Life In China

A farmer may be hired by the year
for from s. TO S14, with food, clothing,
head shaving and tobacco. Those who
work by the day receive from eight to
ten cents, with a MONDAY meal. At the
planting and harvesting of rice, wages
are from ten TO twenty cents a day, with
five meals; or thirty cents a day without
food. Few land owners hire hands, ex-
cept for a few days during the planting
and harvesting of rice. Those who have
more land than they and their sons a
till, lease 1t to their neighbors.
Much land is held on leases given by
ancient proprietors to clansmen whose
descendants now till 1t, paying from 81
to S14 worth of rice annually for its use.
Food averages little more than q dol

eats his meals alone spends from one and
q half to two dollars a month upon the

A ~REPNBLTCAN TIEK.

The Laramie Boomerang, a bitter Re-
publican paper, in ITS issue of Tuesday
published a short editorial article under
the heading The Governors Defense"
which is rather interesting reading. 1t is
as follows:
Governor Warren has withdrawn his
advertising patronage from THE CHEY-
ENNE LEADER. This is sad but we are
reliably informed that The LEADER will
continue to be published.

Some curious incidents of the floods
in Pennsylvania are reported. A man
called at the relief headquarters in
Pittsburg and asked for a suit Of
clothes. After he had been fitted he
remarked that he had plenty of
money, but clothes were what he
needed. A resident of Williamsport
put two pigs in his parlor for safety,
but soon missed them and supposed
they were drowned. At bed time, on
going upstairs to his room, he found
the youthful porcines in his bed fast
asleep. A clergyman, who said he
had lost a wife and three children at
Johnstown, refused a suit of clothes at
the Pittsburg relief depot because they
were second hand. He then asked for
a summer hat He was offered a new
black one, but he would not take any
but one of a summer color, and went
away dissatisfied. Chicago Times.

TT DESERVES ATTENTION

Territorial Engineer Mead has called a
meeting Of citizens of Wyoming at his
office in the capitol next Monday after
moor at . O'Clock for the purpose of ar
ranging some concerted movement to
present information to the senate com
mittee on the subject of irrigation.
The more Gen. Poweli's vast irrigating
scheue is considered with reference to
Wyoming the more are people becoming
convinced hat its literal carrying into
effect in this territory will fall very little
short OF a public calamity.
HIS idea is to segregate vast quantities
of public land for public experiment.
This land will include much OF the ayaila-
bic land that is now left in Wyoming.
1t will be taken entirely out of the market
Tor a period OF ten years, during which
time it is proposed that Gen. Powell and
his ponderous corps of assistants are to
continue their experimental work.
Such schemes are moved with proven
bal slowncss. The allotted ten years may

what inducements will Wyoming have
left to offer to people who are induced to
settle within her border2
The provisions OF the senate bill pro-
viding tor the admission of Wyoming at
irst blush strike the reader as being ex-
ceedingly liberal. But how much better
would it be for Wyoming and how much
better for the government instead OF med
itating a scheme TO segregate much
of the best land that is now in the open
market it should instead turn over ali the
remaining public lands to the state2 Most
of the new Western states must start in as
states handicapped to II certain extent in
comparison with older states whose soil is
richer.
II therefore tho idea of the general
government is to provide for strong and
wealthy state governments how may
that desiratum be better secured than by
turning over to the state all public landsl
The subject is worthy of earnest at
%tention.

Bullet.


every bullet has its billet" says
the old soldier, when counselmg the
recruit 10 take comfort in the mercisui
chances or war. The ways Of bullets,
when they seem actually to have re-
ceived commission to strike, are often
very eccentric and whimsical. An
army surgeon who was in the habit of
carrying in his breast pocket a little
sketch book, says that he has cause to
owe it a special debt of gratitude.
The book itself is ready to tell us
why, for it is pierced through three
parts of its thickness with two dis
tinct bullet holes. About fifteen or
twenty sketches were thus sacrificed,
but the doctors life had, at the same
time been saved
The life of a war correspondent of
The London Telegraph was also saved
by such a shield A curious fact con-
nected with this experience was that
the bullet had ~revolved in its course,
after reaching the notebook, SO that
its track was a circular one.
Several cases Of the eccentricities of
bullets have been given by Irving
Montagu in "Wanderings of a War
Artist He declares that he has known
bullets to flatten round q bone, as if
the bone, having been broken, was
now joined together by the plant lead.
In another case, the bullet went six
times in and outof a skirmisher's body
without doing him any serious harm.
Kneoling as he fired, the ball had first
passed in and out of one arm, had ira
versed the ribs, entering one side and
making its exit at the other, and fin
ished its erratic course by entering and
finally taking its departure from the
other arm of that curiously perforated
soldier.
A bullet has been fired through
thick plate glass, and, hitting against
q wall flew into particles which be-
spattered a mans face without serious
ly injuring him.
A counter instance, however, is
that Of a spent cannon ball, which
went dancing like a plaything toward
q little child. In impulsive playful
ness, she ran to catch 1t, and was
crushed to death by its fall.-Youth's
Companion.

Second street yesterday to permit a
young lady and n gentleman to get on.
AS the former, who was young as well
as pretty, passed forward to accept q
sea offered her, she tripped over the
outstretched foot OF an individual who
was sitting at the rear of the car.
In an instant she was almost at full
length In the bottom of the car. The excla-
nations of the passengers and the black
looks they directed at the extended stum-
bling block should nave caused its owner
TO sink through the seat. Quicker al

Finally, with n lurch from the car as an

CLOSING of an Important Outlet.

The blockade OF a port is not more in.
furious to its commerce than is even the
temporary obstruction of the bowels to
the health OF the system. Constipation
necessarily arrests the secretion OF bile,
impedes and disorders digestion and poi
sons the circulation. The safest and most
effective, as it is also the most genial,
laxative and antibillious medicine in ex-
~istence, Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
and 1t is more than probable that its SOW
ereign efficacy as a%preventive and remedy
for intermitten aud remittent fever is
largely due to its reformatory action upon
the liver, an organ preiudicially involved
IN all malarial complaints. Persons with
a tendency also TO rheumatic, neuralgia
and kidney trouble cannot do better than
te antagonize it with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which invariably checks it at the

ted with strength by this fine invigorant.

THOMAS B. REED.


Congressman Tom Reed, Of Maine, was
nominated in the Republican caucus on the
second ballot for Speaker of the House of
Representatives and was elected when Con-
greSS opened.
Mr. Reeds career has been somewhat un-
eventful one, being marked by little beyond
his steady political promotion. He was born
in the old seaport city of Portland, on the
18th of October, 1S39 He was educated at
Bowdoin College, at Brunswick Maine,
where he graduated at the age of twenty-one.
This was in the year preceding the out
break of the Civil War, and during the first
part of that conflict Mr.. Reed was engaged
in the study of law. In 1864, however. on
the 18th Of April, he accepted an appoint
ment as acting assistant paynaster in the
tinued to hold for more than eighteen
months.
On leaving the navy in November, 1865,
after the close of the war, Mr.. Reed returned
to his legal studies, and was soon afterward
admitted to the bar Of his native State. He
commenced to practice his profession in
Portland; but he took so active an interest
in public affairs, and his talents drew
him so rapidly to the front, that with
him law soon became subordinate to
politics. In 1865 he was elected to the Maine
House of Representatives, and after serving
for two years in that body became member
of the State Senate in 1870. Then for three
successive years he was Attorney-G General of
Maine and for four more years City Solicitor
of Portland.
He was first elected to the National legis-
lature in 1876, when the First District of his
State chose him as its representative in the
Forty-ffth Congress. He has been at Wash
ington continuously from that time and is
now the foremost Republican member of the
lower house.

Openins Of the Senate.

There was little or no excitement attending
the opening of the Ffty-frst Congress on the
Senate side of the Capitol. The public
curiosity seemed to be largely transferred to
the House side. Flowers adorned the seats Of
several Senators.
At noon Vice-President Morton entered the
chamber, and the Chaplain, the Rev. j. G..
Butler. opened the proceedings with an invo-
cation for the Divine blessing, closing with
the Lords Prayer.
Senttors Chandler, of New Hampshire,
and Ni8on, Of Rhode Island, were sworn in.
TheD followed Senators Moody and Petit
grew, IF South Dakota, and Senators Squire
and Allen, of Washington. The two Sena-
tors from North Dakota had not yet reached
Washington.
liter being in session about half an hour
the Senate adjourned.
2D DAY.-Immediately after the reading
of the first days journal, message from the
House was presented by its Clerk, Mr.. Nc
Pherson. announcing the organization Of that
body. Then Mr.. Edmunds on the part of the
Joint Committee to wait on the President,
reported that it had been informed by the
President that he would communicate with
the two houses by message in writing i'm
mediately. Thereupon the message from the
President was nnounced and read by the
Secretary Of the Senate.
