And the gold and red that melt and
And splash the hills: and she not here
To say things about the dying yearl o
Didn't tell your Oh, / see-
They called her Dora. all but me;
For she was a delicate lady born.
And |, well, l was huskin corn;
So ] called her Miss. She was staytn here
For the country air the heft Of the year.
Sometimes she'd sit out under a tree
And watch the hired man work. that's me-
But she got 50 frail-like along In the fall
That she didn't weigh nothin, wraps and ALL
And the women folks got me 10 lend a hand
Movin her out in the sun TO be tanned.
That's what they said, but she didn't seem
To care about jokin: Just wanted to dream
And look at the foliage, gold and red
On the hills, and talk about bein deadl
Cheerful Well, no; not exactly that;
But | used to potter around where she sat-
Just watchin her, sort OF, under the rim
OF my hat, an wishin she'd call me Jiml
Ever have that feelini Well, ! never cared
For a girl that was well, but II I'D dared
I'd a-told her how II made me thrill
When / stole a look at her, sittin so still
And holdin the red leaves in her hands.
Quotin some song about lotus lands,
Some place where it's always afternoon,
In a voice that was soft and sweet as a tune.
And so l just listened from under the rim
OF my hat, sort o. wishin she'd call me Jlml
That kind OF girls amt fer such as me,
Nor fer nobody else's fer's l can see;
Fer they jist creep into a hired mans heart
When the leaves turn red and the brown burn
part;
And then when It SHOWS and the skies are lead
And it's still in the house, you know who's
deadi
I've no right TO murmur, but somehow yet,
Try as hard as | may, ! can never forget
How l thrilled when her white hand touched
my arm,
And now when the trees are red on the farm
Sometimes l listen from under the rim
OF my hat, sort o. wishin she'd Called me Jimi

Date of Organization.

To The Editor OF The Leader.
CHEYENNE, March l4.-While Wyo-
ming was organized as a territory by the
act of congress approved July rs, 1868,
still that act contained a proviso to this
effect: THAT this act shall take effect
from and after the time when the execu-
tive and Judicial officers herein provided
for shall have been duly appointed and
qualified. The last Of these officers so
appointed did not qualify until May 10,
1869. Therefore the territory was not
organized under the proviso of the act
until 1869. and therefore that date on the
seal Is correct. LEX. -

Bras. In England in chaueer,. Tim,

A metal resembling brass, but said to
have been superior in quality, was
known in England as "maslin" as early
as the time of Chaucer, and in the reign
of Henry VIII an act of parliament was
passed prohibiting the export Of brass
out of England. Whether the earlier
monumental brasses still to be found in
our churches were made originally in
England is not absolutely certain, the
probability, according to some anti
quaries, being hat they were of French
or Belgian Northumberland

DISCUSSING ARID LAND BILLS.

The importance Of the arid land ques-
ton to the people of Wyoming cannot
well be ovcrestimated. We have given
up considerable space to it this morning
and two correspondents discuss the matter
from their points of view. Both very
summary dispose of the Warren bill
and cxpress their disapprobation of it
IN plain language. The matter is worthy
OF thorough discussion for and against.
If the matter Of ceding tho lands is wrong
in principle it will soon be developed IN
discussing it; if it Is right the more it is
ventilated the stronger will become its
claims to public consideration.
We would suggest to correspondents,
however. to keep their communications
within reasonable lengths-say not over
half a column.

A LETTER FROM GROVER CLEyE.
LAND.

The following letter was received by
the Chairman Of the Democratic Cen
trail Committee of Clark county from
Hon. Grover Cleveland.
GRAY GABLES, BUzzARD's BAY,
MAss,-R. 7, Cook, Esq, Chairman
Democratic Central Committee
Dear SIR | have received your letter
inviting me to attend the barbecue
and ratification meeting to be held ut
Hollywood, Ark, on the 30th inst. |
ain very much gratified at your cour-
tesy in extending to me this invita-
ton, and regret that II is impossible
for me to be present. ! am glad TO
notice from your letter that an effort
Is to be made to recall our Democratic
people In your neighborhood to their
allegiance to our party and to It's prin-
ciples. cannot doubt that proper
effort In that direction would do away
with any apprehension that now exists
as to the result in some of the South
ern States. Yours truly,

WHY'S AND MHfREFOKES.

Every Democrat In the country
should do his utmost to elect Grover
Cleveland this year because
The election of Cleveland means the
restoration of Democratic principles
in national affairs, not for term but
permanently.
Because the election of Cleveland
Will put an end to billiOn-dollarism.
Because his election will bury the
force bill idea with no hope or chance
of resurrection.
Because his election will be the
first step towards the breaking down
of that kind of tariff taxation which
aims to enrich the few at the expense
of the many.
Because it will put final end to the
policy of Capitalization in which the
Republics greatest danger lies.
Because it will free the country
from the scandal of Raum, Elkins,
Woods, Wanamaker and the rest of
the personal shames that have blotted
its fair name.
Because it will restore the Demo-
cratic idea Of government by the peo-
pie instead of government by a ia
vored class for gain.
Every Independent should do all he
can for the election of Grover Cleve-
land, because his election will go fur
ther than anything else could to re-
store that purity and honesty of gov
eminent which independents seek.
Every workingman should do all he
can for the election of Mr. Cleveland,
because his election means popular
government, the equality of men and
an end to the false conditions which
make Carnegies possible and permit
Pinkertons to run riot. 1t means
equal laws for equal men and an end
of favors to the few.-N. Y. World.

A PICKLE PARTY.

Third party folks are forever de-
nouncing Democracy for pOstponing
action on silver coinage until after
the election, charging it with tickle
ness. There never was a more tickle or
changeable party than that composed
ofthese sO-Called Reformers. q Six or
seven years ago they were out-spoken
against the extravagant pension sys-
TEN, which they now defend and de-
mand more; at 0cala they condemned
tariff robbery, and now are now ST.
lent on it; also there demanded the
sub-treasury, and yet Gen. Weaver
recently said in speech at Denver
that this scheme is mot tenet of the
party, but simply suggestion We
might quote number of other ques-
tons upon which these self-styled Re
formers have very materially changed,
but those mentioned above will suf-
flee.
Now any intelligent and honest man
will admit that it is poor argument for
any man or party to condemn in an
other, the very thing of which he or it
is guilty Of Then cease your muir
merings against Democracy, and help
this great party in its fight against
protected corporations, trusts and
monopolies.
Only through the Democratic party
can relief be had from Republican
class laws, extravaganza, corruption
and Force bills. Remember the past,
how all side show parties have tended
to help our arch enemy-Republican-
ism, and then vote SO as to help win
victory over it that will be lasting.
While the Democratic party may
not exactly suit everybody, because of
dereliction to strict duty, yet it is by
far the best solution of existing trou-
bles, now agitating the hearts and
minds of all good citizens. Consider
all this, and then act with this party.
