Arrests with- ont warning, on the mere authority of the lord lieutenant, are made, and no one can be held responsible for them. This means that persecution is to be more and more resorted to.

For a year it has been impos- sible for him to_ administet properly to the wants of the diocese, and it is in sccordance with a recomy mendation from the _archbishops and cultivate it. thata trade is degrading. foel that the master of u trade is the peerof the higheat inthe broad domain of Iabor, and an object of envy rather cle, popular opis Meanwhi er's example to all whom it. may con- cern—and in a republio like this of ours it concerns, directly or indireotly, four large and prosperous churches, a | fmale seminary of high grade and fine buildings, one of the most extensive hospitals, under the management of the Sisters of Mercy, in the north- west, and a whole_block of very valu- able’ property in the husiness part of the city, with other fine property in various parts of the town, and 50 it wouid naturally be selected as the see city of the new diocese. A Notable Example. St, Louis Republican. ‘Peter Cooper, the princely philan- thropist of New York, says: ‘1 learned three trades. I learned to be a brewer, a coachmaker and a machinist, all before T was 21 years old. I worked three years at $1.50 day, and 1 saved enough out of that to getastart in life. I was making mue:h to. iiar doths: QRGPS ught the tent right of the ma- chine and. lse fil.l:l“'hl)r sale. That was before the war of 1812. 1 deter- mined to give the world an equi lent in some form of useful labor for all that I consumed in it. I went out and enlarged my business, all e while keeping out of debt. I cannot' recollect o tme when I could not pay what I owed any day. I would not spend money before I carned it. Another rule I had was to keep clear of the banks; I never asked them for accom- modation; 1 never got_them to dis- count notes, because I did not wish to incur an obligation without a certaint; of being able to pay it. In that way managed to keep Cloat of panies, My rule was ‘pay as yougo.’ I can't re- member the time when any man could not have had for the asking what I owed. Another thing I wish to say: all the money I ever made was in me- chanical business, and not in specula- tion.”. Tt will be observed that the founda- tion of Mr. Cooper’s vast fortunc—as nobly spent as nobly earned—was & trade, or rather trades; and he lays particwlar stress upon the fact that “all the money I ever made was in mechanical business; and not in specu- lation.” Of course his remarkable success was not entirely due to the choice of vocation and rigid adherence to it. Industry, economy, “pay as you go” and exceptional abili i a9 much or more to do with it. Yet stronger testimony in favor of ‘learn- ing a trade” “could hardly be desired. _ Very few men have the opportunity or capacity to learn three trades before they attain their majority, but every man, if so dinpolei can learn one; and if that is a good one and tharoughly acquired, ho haa the best possible startin the world..

Great Preparations for a Thar- ough Search for Cattle in Wyoming, Belief that Losses Have Been Less Than Was Feared. Correspondence of the Chicago Times. Cuevesxe, Wyoming, April 25.— As there are many conflioting reports ing the loss of cattle in Wyoming dur- ing the past winter, and knowing that, Chicago is particulsrly. interestad in thisone branch of trade, I will say that from reports given me by fiftéen or twenty different cattle men, whose Tanges cover at least two hundred and fifty miles of the territory, that the losses in cattle do not exceed those of an_ordinary winter, or between two and three per cent., and -in many, places as low as one per cent. The heaviest losses are along the line of the Union Pacific railroad east from this place, and extending as far as Julesburg and Ogalalla, Neb. Along the North Platte river and the hundreds of its small tributaries, the losses are comparatively nothing, but of course any exact statement cannot be made until after the annual spring round-up is finished. Great prepara- tions for this round-up are being made, perhaps greater than ever before, and searcely a man or boy above fifteen years of age that can be hired but what has been engaged for this work. | . The Wyoming Stock-Growers’ asso- | ciation held their annual meeting here two weeks ago, and before adjourning appointed_their captains or foremen for each of tfe seven districts in w their eattlo are feeding. Every fo man having a given number of men allotted !n%\im 18 to work or_cover his district in a given time, and meeting the other divisions ata place named by the officers of the association. see the amount of work to be done. For instance, round-up No. 5 is to meet at Fort Fetterman May 15th, and work west to Sweetwater di- vide, north as far as the Powder river, and then down the Powder river to Cheyenne river, and after working the Belle Fourche and Dry Cheyenne rivers, the subdivisions will unite and recross the North Platte river at Fort Fotterman. ~ While No. 5 is at work there, Round-up No, 2 will organize cighteen miles from Cheyenne and follow down the Lodge Pole creek to Julesburg, Neb., about one hundred and thirty-five miles thence north to the Platte river, following the river west to a point near Fort Laramie. These are simply the outside lines,and every mile of land between them to be ridden over and all cattle driven —aT STRAW GOODS| LADIES’ HATS! Finest Canton Hats 25¢, 35c. Finest Milan Hats 75c.

The reports from the Black Hills country, or especially that of the Big Cheyenne, are discouraging.

Some of these letters were published in the local papers here, but were not credited by any one acquainted with our territory, and dozens of local ranchmen living in that district, Outside of the cattle busness Wy- oming presents a great many induce- ments for capitalists to invest in_so a lakes in several counties. Inexhaust- ible beds of coal, outside of those owned by the Union Pacific railroad, have been discovered in the Sweetwa- ter and Uintah counties, as well as in Crook county in the Black Hills. The latter bed is to be the. future supply depot for Deadwood and the mines in that locality. Valuable mines are be- portions of the territory. The latest find is reported to be a real bonanza. Bat little can be obtained as to the ex- act location, a8 everything is hushed up, but it is rumored that two and three dollars to the pound have been taken from the ore. There is quite & history to this mine, if it is the original mine discovered nineteen years ago by emigrants. The story is virtually as follows: In 1862 a party of emigrants, on their way to just below what is now known as old ‘ort Casper, made one day's drive and camped for the night. During the night some of the cattle strayed away and one of the men while out in the hills, hunting them, happened. upon a. peculiar appearing ledgeof rodk, hav. ing a bright metallic lustre, a piece of which he broke off, took it to camp and allowed] his companions to examitie it. They greatly admired the rock, but as time passed by the rock was forgotten. Some time after arriving in San Francisco the rock was assayed and proved tobe very richin silver. Tlestory of the assay was | soon noised abroadand large amounts of money were offered to anyone that | could first show the lead; several ex- peditions came east prospecting, but it was mere guess work as to the loca- tion. Some prospected around Inde- pendence Rock, in the Sweetwater country, others came cast on the Platte river. - Two men, 0. A. Payne and James A Brennan, came down from Nevada, pretending to look after oil springs near Red Buttes, but really s try and find the lost bonanza. They prospected in that vicinity about two weeks, and, failing to find anything, Payne returned to Nevada and Bren- nan went to Fort Laramie as a guide, and was subsequently killed by the Indians while out with a scouting on Tongue river. B reral other parties subsequently made efforts to get into the section of country near Fort Caspar, but they were cither attacked and driven off by the Indians or gave up the search without finding anything. The now said to have discovered the long- looked-for bonanza is Mr. Rufus Rhodes, superintendent of Messrs. Carey Bros.’ cattle ranches, at Fort Caspar. The Carey Bros. have had their cattle in that section for several years, and cousidered the ranges a bonanza without the new silver mine s0 lately discovered by their foreman.

While in 1880 the river carried from St. Louis 15,762,664 bushels of grain, the five railroads running east from St. Louis took only 8,734,501 bushels, of which over 7,000,000 passed through St. Louis in transit from_points west and northwest of St. Louis.
