CHEYENNE is Democratic.
Laramie RoomeranR.I

There seems to be no denying this fact.
At the city election held yesterday three
of the four aldermen elected were Demo-
Gratis. c. W. Riner from the Second
ward was the only Republican alderman
elected. and a special effort was made to
elect him. Senator Warren descended
from the dignity of the senatorial perch
and became a ward worker in the desper-
alton of Republican hopelessness. His
mighty presence, however, ratified about
in the ballot box with little effect.

It is trite but correct remark that,
as the human form has been nodded by
nature, the best shape is undoubtedly
that which she has given it. To endeav-
or to render it more elegant by artificial
means is to change it; to make it much
smaller below and much larger above is
to destroy its beauty; to keep it cased
up in a kind of domestic cuirass is not
only to deform it, but to expose the in
ternal parts to serious injury. Under
such compression as is commonly prac-
ticed by ladies, the development of the
bones, which are still tender, does not
take place conformably to the intention
of nature, because nutrition is necessa-
rily stopped, and they consequently be-
come twisted and deformed.
Those who wear these appliances of
tight lacing often complain that they
cannot sit upright without them-are
sometimes, indeed, compelled to wear
them during all the twenty-four hours;
fact which proves to what an extent
such articles weaken the muscles of the
trunk The injury does not fall merely
on the internal structure of the body,
but also on its beauty and on the temper
and feelings with which that beauty is
associated. Beauty is in reality but an
other name for expression of coGnte-
nance, which is the index of sound
health, intelligence, good feelings and
peace of mind. All are aware that I'M
easy feelings, existing habitually in the
breast, speedily exhibit their signature
on the countenance, and that bitter
thoughts or a bad temper spoil the
human expression of its comeliness and
grace.-New York Ledger.

These curious personal resemblance,
which are not uncommon, have given
rise to the popular belief that every man
has his double somewhere in the world.
1t appears that the double of a well
known professor of the Rush Medical
college is hsirdresser, whose shop is
situated in the immediate neighborhocc
of that institution, and who, well aware
of his likeness to the learned doctor,
carefully copies the latter in dress. bear
ing and demeanor. A few days ago the
professor was walking homeward from
his lecture room, when a gentleman, en-
tirely unknown to him, stopped him in
the street, saying:
Follow me to my house. want you
to cut my hair"
The amiable professor, one of whose
principles of life it has always been never
to withhold from fellow creature any
service that it might be within his power
to render, meekly accompanied the stran-
ger home and there addressed himself to
the task thus imperatively prescribed to
him.
Lacking professional scissors, he
picked up pair of shears, used for cut
ting paper. from writing table in the
dressing room to which he had been con-
Quoted. and with this implement pro-
ceeded most conscientiously to cut his
victims hair down to the very roots.
When he had cleared about half the
skull he accidentally stuck the point of
his shears into the scalp of his patient,
who, springing to his feet in great pain
and wrath, exclaimed:
Cant you take care what you're
about Do you call yourself hair

ished sage. Certainly not. | am only

"That no man is proof against the love
of money is evidenced by the ease with
which a physician can expose a man
who is feigning deafness" says DR.. Wal
lace Smyth. "a man can pretend to
be deficient in any one of the senses, and
it is sometimes necessary to subject him
to an electric shock to break down his
self erected barrier. But if a man who
is pretending to be deaf is approached
from behind while standing on stone
floor or sidewalk and a coin is dropped
so as to ring, he will invariably turn
sharply around with a view to picking
it up.
"This simple device is frequently re-
sorted to in countries where conscrip-
ton is the rule and where deafness or
any other infrrnity relieves man from
army service. saw it tried in Paris on
six alleged youths, and, much to the ex-
aiming physicians amusement, it sue

OF THOSE REMEMBERED.

There is no moment when our dead lose power;
Unsignaled, unannounced they visit us.
Who calleth them know not, Sorrowfui,
They haunt reproachfully some venal hour
In days of joy, and when the world is near
And for q moment scourge with memories
The money changers of the temple soul.
In the dim space between two CULTS of sleep,
Or in the stiffness Of the lonely shore,
They rise for balm or torment, sweet or sad,
And most are mine where, in the kindly woods,
Beside childlike joy of summer streams,
The stately sweetness of the pine hath power
To call their kindred comforting anew.
Use well thy dead. They come to ask OF thee
What thou hast done with all this buried love,
The seed of purer life? Or has ii fallen unused
In stony ways and brought thy life no gain?
Wilt thou with gladness in another world
Say it has grown to forms of duty done
And ruled thee with a conscience not thine
own?
Another world! How shall we find our dead?
What forcefnl law shall bring us face to face?
Another world What yearnings there shall
guide2
VIII love souls twinned of love bring near
again?
And that one common bond of duty held
This living and that dead, when life was theirsi
Or shall some stronger soul. in life revered,
Bring both to touch. with natures certainty
AS the pure crystal atoms Of its kinds
Draws into fellowship OF iovelinessS

A Neyrn SERVANTS Wit.

A copy of the Salem (Mass.) Gazette
of Aug. 10, 1888, contains the following
anecdote:
A gentleman in the state of Connect
cut regularly attended public worship
ON the Lords day with all his family;
on the Sunday evening he always cate
chised his children and servants on the
principles of religion, and what they
heard the minister deliver from the pull
pit.
He had negro man who never could
remember note of the sermon, though
otherwise smart. At last his master
peremptorily told him he would on Mon
day morning tie him up and fog him.
Next Sunday evening, when inferno
gated, he had forgotten all. On Mon
day morning his master executes his
threat so far as to tie him up.
The fellow then cried out, "Oh, mas
ter, spare me, for remember something
the minister said"
What is it," said the master.
The fellow replied, This much may
suffice at this time"
The master was so pleased with his
wit that he forgave him.

The Greek Dress for Women.

1t is not to be wondered at that those
women who care for their beauty rather
than for style in their attire should
again and again revert to the idea of in
Producing among English ladies the
graceful fashions of ancient Greece.
The flowing draperies and cunning folds
in which the robe of the Athenian lady
was arranged formed the very ideal Of
a suitable attire for women, if they
studied only the art of making them
selves appear charming.
That the Greek is really the only mode
of attire suited to the form feminine is
sufficiently attested by the fact that no
woman of taste wishing a life size statue
of herself to be made would think of
clothing. How would the bodice, short
or long in basque, according to the pre-
vailing style, the full straight skirt or
the founced petticoat, the tight laced
waist and the peaked shoulders, appear
when chiseled in marble or rendered III
bronze. So far, however, the demand
for classic ideals has been made in vain.
The attempts to revive the beautiful
fashions of the Greek women have been
desultory and infrequent, and the few
ladies who have tried the experiment
have either been soon tired by the extra
trouble involved and annoyed by the no
tice they excited, or they have not pos
sessed sufficient social importance for
their example to be largely followed

A curious phenomenon in connec-
tion with the death of the negroes
William Cassell and Solosnon Richard
son in Highland Park. Pa, yesterday
from bolt of lightning was that the
foliage of the tree under which they
fought shelter was photographed On
the breast Of one Of the victims. The
men were killed instantly. When the
clothing was removed from Casselps
body an astounding sight met the eyes
OF the undertaken. Across Casseps
broad breast was picture true to
nature. The Drowned oak leaf of an-
tumn was there. Twining among the
foliage were number of ferns. These,
too, with the exception that they, like
the oak leaves, were brown, were as
natural as their model. So exact were
the leaves and ferns that even the
minutest vein was discernible.
There was another curious thing
about Cassell. When his trousers were
removed his lower limbs were found
to have turned to an ashen white
Picayune.

Such Banton disregard for the nsa3ts
simply forces the painful conclusion
that the above named minority were
determined to rule. or have their
own way, have things 60 according
to their own views and notions; fall
ing that, they would step down and
out and see the interests of the Dem
ocracy in the Fifth District go to the
"demnition bow-wows' as far as they
were concerned, which they there
and then deliberately did. The
course they pursued in ignoring the
majority rule smacks muchly of the
Farmers Union Alliance go-as-you-
please and Third party mixtures,
but there was no Democracy in it.
In their protest they claim that
the Congressional Executive Com
mittee was bound by the 22d of
March primaries, and intimate that
the action of the State Central
Committee was binding upon ell
the party, parish and district COM
mittees throughout the State. There
is in this assumption an appearance
of FEASIBILITY; but follow it up
from one end of the party line to
the other and you have centraliza-
ton of the most ruinous kind. 1t
is just such teachings that are now
being ineulcated by the Republican
party to enable the national authori-
ties wipe out every semblance of
State sovereignty, and the careful
political observer well knows that
they have already gone great
length in that direction.
Within the. Democratic party the
right of their Parish Executive
Committees to make the apportion-
ments for the several wards in their
parish has never been questioned,
much less has the right beeu ques-
toned of the Congressional Execu-
tive Committees in the several dis
tricts to apportion the representa-
ton for the several parishes COM
posing the several districts.
The boiling We refer to is simply
a distressing evidence of disobedi-
ence to the will of the majority
