Cairo ladies' followed by eunuch7, and
preceded by guide. The eunuchs were
as eunuchs generally arc hideous,
though they represented all ages, from a
tall lank boy OF seventeen to withered
old creature well beTond sixty. The
Cairo eunuchs are negroes; one distin-
4ulshes them always by the extreme care
with which they are dressed. They wear
coats and trousers of black broaGcloth
made in the latest European style. with
patent leather Shoes and they are deco
rated with gold chains, seal rings, and
scarf-p'ns; they have one merit IS regards
their aptearance-l know OF but one

the upper class wear when they leave the
house, had been thrown aside; the white

ception, these Cairo DANES were, to say
the least extremely plump; their bare
hands were deeply dimpled, their checks
round. They all had the same very white
complexion without rose tints; their
features were fairly good, though rather
thick; the eyes in each case Were beauti-
iul-larse, dark, lustrous, with sweeping

Talleyrand S Sayings.

Too much sensbility creates unhsppi

The love of glory can only create s
hero; the contempt OF it only make q

Truth and virtue can do less good in
the world than the r false, well-acted sem

A rich man despises those who fisttei
him too much and hates those who dc
not fl .tter him at all.
A gel crous man will place the benefits
he confers beneath his feet, those he re
ceives nearest his heart.

prospectors are at work on Rock creek
and have discovered ore exactly similar
to that of the Brush creek mines. A tin
ore ledge has been located which is be-
lieved to be of great value. An old tin
miner named Thompson was so well sat
isfied that it was the genuine stuff that
he brought some samples to Laramie.
Assayer Knight being absent from the
city, he took the ore to Cheyenne,
where Professor Stanton said there was
nothing in it. He next took it to Denver
and what ever may have been the result
he has gone back to work on the
ledge and has undoubtedly a large body
of ore, whatever it may be. There are
two distinct types of the ore. That on
the surface is similar to what was found
on the Grand Encampment some years
ago and pronounced carbonates of lead.
A pick will stick in it, it is so soft.
That further down is dark and more
solid. The tin ledge is four miles from
Mr.. Williams ranch, tsFenty-six miles
from Lookout, and forty miles from
Laramie.

A NEEDED REFORM.

The response of Professor Wetzell last
evening to the address of welcome by
Prosecuting Attorney W. II. Wilson
touched upon real evil in connection
with our, in many respects, admirable
spstem of public schools. ''We don't" !"
said the professor, sufficiently bring
together the work of the school room
and text books with the practical things
of everyday life." This is very true.
Children are taught to learn by rote the
technical rules of grammar but the
grammatical construction of the SEN
tences in conversation and writing is
neglected. The same is true of mathe-
matics. There is almost craze in our
public schools for this branch of study.
The knottiest arithmetical puzzles are
mastered by pupils who could not COM
pute, in practical life, the number OF
board feet in load of lumber or the
number of tons in NOW of hay. And
it is still worse if we speak of orthog-
raphy. Pupils who have completely
mastered the spelling book utterly break
down when they come to the practical
use of the simplest words in letter writ
ing. If the institute, now in session
here, can point out to teachers an eff
cient method of correcting these evils
it will accomplish much good to the
rising generation.

years, together with white boy of Is,
who travelled under the soubriquet OF

hour yesterday morning, and locked up
in the city Jail on the charge of vag-
rancy. "Frisco" told a Telegram re-
porter yesterday that his home was in
Santa Clara, Cal. ssThis dog of mine,"
said he, knows more than any other
dog in the world, and he is a perform
ing dog. / met Grant in Seattle, and
we came here with the intention of pro-
curing an engagement at the Coliseum
or some of the other theaters, but we
were not successful. We are not pair
of tramps, and were walking quietly
along the streets when we were arrested.
We came here to get work, not to live
off charity. Last year in Seattle I
saved $3.50, and sent it all home to my
mother except $50, which is in bank
at Seattle | guess we will go back to
Seattle when we get out. There is no
chance of making any money here, as
this town is dead in our line." Both
boys were discharged this morning on
their promise to leave town at once.

THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.

There is not room for shadow of
doubt that James G. Blaine is the most
popular man in the United States today
of all who are mentioned as candidates
for the presidency during the next cam
paign. There is just as little doubt that
he can have the nomination if he wants
it, but whether he would accept or not
and in case he would accept whether he
could be elected or not are questions no
man can answer. The democrats are
terribly in earnest, 30 are some branches
of the farmers alliance. just what fig
ure the latter may cut in the next cleo
tion it Is impossible to even guess. That
they will be in the fight, and with a
ticket of their own seems certain and
their existence BODIES no good to the re-
publican party. It is evident too that
in the next fight free trade influence will
bring the tariff question again to the
front. 1t is in fact being pressed TO the
front now and protectionistsc cannot regu-
late it to the back ground if they would.
The fact that parties are more divided
among themselves on the silver question
may compel it to take second place but
whatever republicans may do the dem
ocrats are certain to have a free silver
plank in their national platform. 1t is
pleasant to reflect that before the next
campaign the country will have a chance
70 see for itself the effect of the McKin.
ley tariff on the general prosperity of the
nation. Events too may cuiminate iI
connection with our enormous coinags
of silver that may give the people s
chance to form better judgement, thar
it is possible to form now, on the pos
sible results of free coinage. Till the1
the CHRONICLE is willing to let peopl,
who have nothing better to do, continu,

idents and manufacturing premature
