His Masters Jest.

Entertaining are some anecdotes told
OF Gonella, jester to Borso, Duke Of Fer
rara, in the Fifteenth century. As Go
nella was on his way to mass, three blind
beggars implored an aims of him. Here
is a form for you" said the jester; "di-
vide it among you" He gave nothing,
and r1ssed on. The beggars invoked
blessings on him. each ~supposing that
one of his fellows was in possession of
the coin. When they wished to divide
the gift, not one of them would allow
that he held it, and they mutually ac-
cused each other of cheating, and from
words proceeded to blows. Gonella
watched the fray with great complacen-
CIV, and, when the beggars were all
bruised and bleeding, he went on to
church with a clear and calm conscience.
The Duke of Ferrara fell i'll, and the doc
tors declared that only a sudden fright
would restore him to health. He was
too great a man for any one to play
tricks on, except his fool. Gonella was
with him in a boat, and cleverly pushed
the duke into the water. Aid had been
previously provided, and the prince was
drawn ashore and put to bed.
The fright and the bath and the bed
cured the invalid, but he was so enraged
with Gonella that he exiled the man who
was both a fool and a physician. Go
nella returned in a cart filled with Pa
duan soil; an evasion of the edict of ban
ishment said to have been practiced by
many a jester. The duke ordered him
to be beheaded, but saying privately
that he would only repay fright with
fright, he directed the executioner not
to use the ak, but to let fall a single
drop of blood on the culprit's neck. Go
nelIa was led to the scaffold; all the
usual gloomy preparations were made.
He was blindfolded and made to lay his
head on the block. The executioner,
from a vial, let fall a drop of water on
'Gonella's neck. Then amid shouts and
laughter, the jester, silent now, was bid
den to rise and thank the duke for his
clemency. But Gonella never moved;
he was dead-killed by his masters jest.

A gentleman in Glasgow owned a very
intelligent Newfoundland dog. He ac-
companied his master wherever he went.
and was his i~nseparable companion in
his visits and to church. One evening
the gentleman went to visit a neighbor.
The dog attended him. 1t was quite late
when the gentleman started for home,
andSto his surprise, his dog could not be
found. After the family had retired to
bed there was a great noise in the kitchen.
1t was supposed that burglars were rob
bling the house. Soon there was a crash
and a smash like TIE breaking of a win
dow, and then all was still. The morn
ing revealed the mystery. The dog had
fallen asleep under the table. He was
sensible that his master had gone home,
and the noise heard was the attempt OF
the dog to make his escape. AS there
was no other way to get out, the saga
cious animal went through the window,
taking the glass and frame with him.
1t was a long time before his master
visited that house again. When he did,
his dog accompanied him, and the ami
NAL found his way through the open
door of the kitchen to his old hiding
place under the table. When the master
started for home, neither his nat MOI
zane could be found. After a long
search, the dog was discovered fast
asleep under the table; one paw was in
his masters hat, the other resting on his
stick. How the dog obtained possession
of these articles no one could tell. He
remembered his last visit to the place,
and how scurvily he was treated. The
sagacious creature resolved not to be left
behind the next time. He knew that
his master could not go home without
the hat and stick, and that he would be
awakened when his owner got ready tc
walk. His plans were acutely laid, and
if he had been a human he could not
have done better.-Exchange.

A travelling man who's on the road
for a Chicago boot and shoe house spent
a Sunday recently in a small western
town, and as he had nothing to do he
accepted the invitation of the landlord
of the small hotel where he was stopping
to attend divine service at the local
church and listen to the sermon of a eel
ebrated eastern brother who was to
occupy the pulpit. The little church
was crowded with country folk, all
anxious to hear the popular preacher,
and the latter evidently thought it q
good chance to awe the people with bis
erudition. Accordingly he employed al
of the polysyllabic words he could think
of in his discourse, and his congregation
was at a loss to know what he was get
ting at. 1t put the travelling man tc
thinking hard, too. Finally, wishing to
impress his hearers with the omnipo
tence of their Maker, the clergyman
said solemnly: "God made me-" and
then, after an impressive pause. he add.
ed: and he made a daisy" And the
travelling mar nudged the landlord and
whispered: That's a good betting point, >

Of a ~populous state like New York to
give the $4,000 inhabitants OF Wyoming
an equal representation in the United
States senate with New York. But in
this reply the Sun would lose sight of
the main principal which should govern
in the admission OF a state into the
Union.
The right to be represented in the con-
gress of the United States is not the
greatest right which people acquire
through the admission Of their state into
the union. The right of local self gov
eminent is the dearest political right that
the inhabitants of any state in the union
enjoy. In comparison with it, the right
to be represented in congress is Of little
importance. The national government
touches the people at but few points.
whereas the state government comes
home to them in a hundred different
ways. The reason why the territorial
governments should be maintained for
only as short a time as possible is that
they are provincial governments, IN the
direction of which the people have but
little voice. As long as the people of
Wyoming are subjected to a territorial
government, they are ruled by what, IN one
sense, is q foreign power. This sort OF rule
is in direct conflict with that fundamental
American principle which declares that
governments derive their just power
from the consent of the governed.
We beg our New York contemporary
to remember in the discussion of the ques-
ton of Mornings admission into the
Union hat the rights Of the people of
Wyoming should be FIRST considered, and
that in comparison with these rights the
question Of the equal representation cf
Wyoming and New York in the United
States senate is OF small Importance.

There Is nothing especially interesting
about the angle worm itself. 1t is the
effect it has upon the lives of mankind.
and boykind especially, that weaves a
halo of interest about this otherwise un.
interesting object. There may be differ
N breeds of the angle worm, but those
who need them in their business do not
examine into the pedigree of those that
come to hand first. Any smooth, fiat,
wiggly worm will do, be it mongrel or
thoroughbred.
Why the denizeLs of the two most I'M
stable elements, air and water, should
have an appetite for the humble worm,
is N of the great mysteries of nature.
1t is lucky for the worm that it is neither
a swimmer o flyer, and it can also
thank its stars, If it has any, that birds
and fish cannot handle q spade. If the
worm would give up its habit of going
to meet the carly bird it could pass its
life in comparative safety in the depths
of its sub-ceilar.
The man who discovered that fish liked
worms is responsible for considerable
juvenile and masculine depravity. Fish
ing cannot be successfully carried OF
without the worm. Any old tin can will
do to carry the worms in.
1t is almost an infallible omen when
BOY is seen with a spade and can that h,
will be missed at school on the morrow
or when a man is seen with the same i'm
plements Saturday evening, that he will
be missed at church mex Sunday. 1t i

The Parrot Not the Only Bird That Talks.

The Parrot Not the Only Bird That Talks.
The parrot is generally supposed to
have the monopoly of the power of talk
ing among birds, but as a matter of
fact the parrot is decidedly inferior to
the mynah. There are always exam
Piles of these birds in the insect house
at the Zoo, and they repeat various
phrases with great clearness of utter
ance. Curiously enough, the hen has a
gruff voice, while the cock speaks in a
clear high tone, like thatof a child. The
mynahs a be easily provoked into
showing off their power of speech, and
will greet the visitor with Good morn
ing" in response to his ~salutations. The
mynah is a kind of startling, and this
latter bird is well known for its imita-
tive powers. Some years ago an ac-
count was published of a talking ca
nary" which could articulate quite
plainly, and would repeat a series Of
phrases. But the wonder is, not that
there are SO many different kinds of
birds which can talk" but that there
are not more. The voice organs are
equally perfect in construction in all
these higher oirds.-Pan Mall Gazette.

THE QUESTION OF POPULA-
TJON

In an article which we quote with great
pleasure from the Denver Republican, a
keynote Is struck in the assertion that
senatorial representation is Of minor i'm
portance to a territory aspiring for state
hood in comparison with the achievement
OF home government. There is no state
or territory in the West with brighter fu-
ture beforei it than Wyoming. While the
language Of Western papers is usually
superlative in describing the attractions
and possessions OF the section in which
they are published, in all soberness OF ex-
precision Wyoming can lay claims to
possessing the most extensive, varied and
valuable mineral deposits Of any section
OF the same extent in the United States,
if not the entire world.
AS to the character OF our population,
tie last census shows a smaller percentage
of illiteracy than any state in the country
or under any other government in the
world. Our population is peculiarly
American in its tone and aspirations. The
New York Sun in opposing our admis-
sion takes the ratio of our vote to the
population as found in the census OF 1850.
and IN this ratio computes the population
of to-day from the vote OF a year ago.
This is manifestly unjust to us. As COM
puted by the Sun our population is be-
tween A 5000 and $4,000. The compu-
tation is based upon a ratio of two and a
half inhabitants to every voter. IT this
was the true ratio in 1880, as the official
figures showed it to be, the same ratio
will not hold good now. Except in the
towns there we're her comparatively few
families. Among the hundreds Of COW
bo6s who then found employment IN the
territory not one in fifty were married.
In every town was a preponderance OF I'M
married young men. During the past
ten years these things have changed.
Hundreds of the young men who came to
the territory as a temporary makeshift are
nov settled here to live. Hundreds Of
Others have followed them. The cowboy
has been rapidly replaced by the ranch
man or granger and their wives and
families.
Ten years ago Cheyenne's only school
consisted OF the central portion of the
present high school building. Since the

than doubled II" n
south side and a third will soon be Eeeded
in the east end to catch the overflow. In
addition a large Catholic school is filed
to OVERLOOKING while the convent schools
gives Accommodations to many more pupils.
What is true of CHEYENNE is proper
tionately true of every other town in
the territory which existed then and of
the many which have come into existence
since then. We therefore believe that it
will not be overstating the facts to double
the figures given by the Sun. With an
area of &c. 900 square miles the population
may be spread out pretty thin to give an
average of one person to each square
mile.

Curious Wave in n waterfall.

A Boston lawyer, returned from a trip
in Maine, tells of a curious phenomenon
existing at the Livermore falls, in that
state. At the foot of one of the dams
the descending water seems to be driven
back with 30 much force that half way
up the column of water there is an ever
moving line OF water like n crease in a
piece of cloth. This has an effect upon
the surrounding atmosphere that is al
o incredibly great. The phenomenon
is not observable at all times, but when
the wave" is visible on the falling
water, objects Suspended in the air at
some distance from the falls are OBJ
served to vibrate perceptibly in a regular
movement. The vibration, while per-
ceptible at the time when the wave"
can be seen. seems to stop almost in
after the wave" disappears, and
it seems almost certain that the latter
causes the former.-Boston Advertiser.

WYOMING AND STATEHOOD

Denver Republican,
The New York Sun has come out in
opposition to the admission of Wyoming
lation of the territory as the ground for
this opposition.
The Sun shows that by a calculation
based upon the returns of the last election
that the population Of Wyoming is not
more thaa $4,000. 1t thinks that this is
too small a number OF inhabitants to JUS
tify the admission of a new state into
the Union. Without caring to discuss
whether the estimate of the Sun In re-
gard to the population of Wyoming is or
is not correct. we contend that it does not
follow from the Suns estimate that Wy
oming should be excluded.
The admission OF a new state into the
Union is not a matter which should be
determined altogether by the number of
its population. A territory might, as
in the case of Utah. for instance. have a
population large enough beyopd al ques
ton to Justify It's admission into the Union
if the question we're one of population
only. and yet for other reasons it might
be proper to exclude it. If the ~popula-
ton is not in sympathy with American
institutions, or if it is grossly ignorant of
the American system and theory of gov
ernment, this is of itself sufficient reason
TO withhold from the people permission
to erect a state government. If, on the
other hand, the population. although
small, is highly intelligent, fully in sym
patty with American ideas and ready to
adopt the best views of American states
men in regard to local government, the
fact that the number of inhabitants is
small Is not a very serious obstacle to the
admission of the proposed state into the
Union.
Ordinarily, if the people are able to
bear with ease the burden of maintaining
a state government, permission should be
given them 10 erect such a government.
To a large extent the determination of
this question should be left to the people
themselves. If they express in an en-
phatic way a desire for a state government,
their desire ought to be granted.
Probably the Sun would say in reply to
this that it would be unfair to the people
