e i Bt e e id IN THE FAR WEST. Recolleotions of Life on the Border. An Anecdote of "Slim Jim." . Life in the military posts of the far west is not entirely bereft of enjoya- ble features. True, the every day routine of soldier duty—the roll-calls, guard mountings, drills, inspections, dress parades, etc.—grows monoto nous and even hateful, and the harsh tones of the bugle grates unpleasantly upon the ears doomed to listen to them year after year, yet for all this there are MANY SOURCES OF ENJOYMENT And pastime created by the officers and soldiers to drive away the dull monotony incident to a life on the frontier, almost without the pale of civilization, Amongsoldiers, as among all classes of people, can be found the individual of a theatricalturn of mind, and there is scarcely a post on the border that cannot bonst of 1ts dra- matic temple, usually built of pine logs, in which are produced plays and variety exhibitions for the entertain- ment of the denizens of the post. Many of the ofticers have their wives and daughters in the garrison, and the ladies apparently take a keen interest in displaying what dramatic ability they may possess. Through the win- ter seasons especially are these enter- tainments given,and I have seen talent displayed by amateurs that would do credit to many of the stock actors who have trod the stage for years. BASE BALL, This is a popular sport with the more athletic “*boys in blue,"and soms of the posts contain really excellent clubs. Match games between the sol- diers and citizen clubs of the neigh- boring towns are of frequent occur- rence, and at these matches the west- ern man’s love for gambling causes large amounts of money to change hands. Football, cricket, croquet, horse racing, foot racing, target shooting and even glass ball shoots are exten- sively indulged in, and the great plenty of game induces the organiza- tion of match hunting parties, the side bringing in the smallest amount of meat to forfeit their captures to their antagonists. There is a ready market for deer, antelope, elk, moun- tain sheep and bear meat, and the winners often realize a handsome sum when the wagers are paid and the game disposed of. HUNTING. The cavalry soldier enjoys greater facilities for hunting than does his infantryman. At the majority of the posts it is a standing rule to allow a cavalryman a leave of absence of twelve hours after each turn of guard duty, with permission to take his horse and ritle and go wherever his fancy may lead him. Some of them hie away to an adjoining town, if stationed on the railway near a town, but the majority provide themselves with a liberal stock of ammunition and seex for sport in the chase. When the ofticers organize a hunting party they go in ambulances or army wagons, well supplied with tents and camp equipage, to the vicinity of some good hunting ground where they locate their camp and form this as a base, making forays upon the lordly elk or fleet-footed antelope daily. They are attended by detach- ments of cavalry, as escorts, and by their garrison cooks and servants, who are usually private soldiers de- tailed for such duty. When not hunting the ofticers seek various modes of amusement to while away the time that would otherwise hang heavily upon their hands. At each post there is a saloon and billiard hall, 1 which the elicking of the ivory balls can be heard day and night,while around the various card tables games of every known description ure played. Gambling among the officers is never indulged in. PLAYING TRICKS UPON STRANGERS Is regarded as a rare sport by the sol- diers, and unfortunate indeed is the “‘tenderfoot” who falls into their clutches. The ‘‘Indian scarc” is the favorite sport in this line,the innocent victim being induced to accompany a party out from the post a short dis- tance ostensibly to shoot antelope, When near some gulch or pile of rocks a howling troop of soldiers disguised as Indians dashat the hunters(?) firing blank cartridges and emitting the most hideous yells, Cf course the soldiers in the hunting party fall as if wound- ed and yell at the victim to run for his life, and then the fun begins. Such wild leaps as are usually dis- played by the frightened ‘‘greeny,” who darts toward the garrison with every hair erect, forms so ludicrous a picture to those who are in the joke that spasms of laughter at once sup- piant the demoniac yells which but a moment betore tortured the pure mountain air. When he reaches the post the affrighted victim yell for the men to at once fly to the rescue of his wounded comrades, and then recites a story of a terrible combat with overwholming force of savages, in which he displayed unwornted hero- ism and fought like a demon. When the bogus Indians come in, doubled up with hysterical laughter, the dupe either acknowledges the sell and joins in the hilarity or sneaks crestfallen from the post and foots it to the near- est point, CAUGHT A TARTAR, One day whale sitting in front of the headquarters at Ft Steele, convers- ing with the lamented Maj, Thorn- burgh, then commandant of the post, T observed a long, lank,roughly dress- ed fellow standing up near the post- trader's store surrounded by a group of soldiers. He wore upon his caday- erous features an idiotic grin, and looked for all the world like a grad- uate from an inland Missouri farm. Suggesting to the Major that there might be something in store for us, we walked up to the crowd, and reached it just as one of the troopers asked: Do you like to hunt, pardy?” ‘‘Hunt, wal T reckon I'deu. Back to hum T uster be the best hunter in the neighborhood, an’ could knock the delights outen a squirrel nearly every pop in the tops o' the highest hickary trees. Oh! I'm no small pertaters when it comes to huntin’!” Here was such a_victim as the fun- loving soldiery seldom caught, and every heart beat bigh in anticipation of rare sport. The details were soon an | arranged, and a party organized to go out upon the chase. A short time be- fore the hunters took their departure the “Indians” could be seen sneaking away in the rear of thequartermaster’s store houses, and hastening toward a rocky guleh half a mile distant. De- termined to see the sport I joined the party of which our rural friend form ed a member, and we set forth telling him the most improbable stories of the quantity of game to be found, and posting him as to the use of his gun, which, by the way, contained a blank cartridge. When we reached a point about fif- ty yards distant from the gulch the “Indians” rose and poured in upon us a terrific volley —of smoke —and then charged us yelling like demons, Every one of us but the stranger fell at the first fire, and in piteous tones wo beg us help. Tustead of doing so, how- over, he stared at the attacking in a dazed manner, giving utter to but the words: “Wal, L swan to gosh! i ty dashed right up to him, b / vigorously, but “groeny” never tlinched. When they got_almost close enough to poke him with their guns he said: Wt in the name o’ common sense ails yel Air ye crazy, or hov ye eat somethin’ that kinder disorganizes yer innards an’ cramps 'em upl Yo act like a drunk lunatic asylum turn- od loose!” With renewed yells the party madea dash at him, when he coolly laid down his old musket and reaching back un- der his dilapidated coat tails produc- ed a pair of vicious looking pistols of the bull dog patern and leveling them at the now discomfitted ‘‘Indians” said: “‘Now, you fellers hiev made yer play an’ I'll make mine. Ground arms, every son-of-a-gun of ye, or I'll pump ye_full of forty-four calibre bullets. Drap 'em lively!” and he cocked his murderous leoking revolvers. The guns went to the ground, and the squadron stood with blank dismay pictured on every face. “‘Now every dod-durned one o’ ye stand on yer heads!” *‘Oh! now, see here, pardy,” said a soldier, “‘don’t you know that were only jo—-" “Up with ye ora streak o’ daylight ‘Il foller a chunk o’ lead through yer anatomy in a holy minute!” The troopers obeyed and in a mo- ment and a half a dozen pairs of legs waved wildly in the air. He held them in this position for fully a minute, when he permitted them to again as- sume a natural position uvon their feet. Then he got his late companions in the line (I had sneaked behind a large rock) and for fully an hour he held the entire crowd together, put- ting them through the most LUDICROUS ACTS AND CONTORTIONS. He would make them turn somersaults, walk on their knees and on all fours, lay down and roll over, make one of them hold up a stick and the others jump over it, like tramed dogs;in short, he put them throrgh every evolution his brain could conjure up until obliged to cease through sheer exhaustion. Then he told them to ‘‘Git for camp lively!” and sent them fleeing toward the post. That night he made it all up, appa- rently, and was inveiglea into a game of draw-poker with three of the best gamblers . the post. They played all night long, and when the lank stranger took the early train for R: lins he carried with him over eight hundred dollars which he had won. Just as the train started he scratched a few words on a slip of paper and handed it to one of his victims, It read: “You never want to buy a water- mellon till you plug it and see if it's ripe, or you're liable to get left. Good- bye. HSurv Jiw” We then knew that our late visitor was “‘Slim Jim, of Nevada,” the best gambler, quickest shot and most dar- ing desperado on the lines of the Pa- cific roads, Wyomizg Kir. UNHAPPY RUSSIA. Everybody Under Suspicion--Dis- covery of Dynamite Plates. Berlin Letter to The London Times. My Russian correspondent writes: ‘“The reactionary Slavophile course of administration, or whatever else it may be called, continues to make progress, The discovery of another coul)le of charges of dynamite in the Catherine canal, almost at the same spot where a similar store of explosive matter was found about a month ago, will only strengthen the present gov- ernment in its opinion that the revo- lutionists were never so active and successful as during the quiet direction of affairs by Count Melikoff, Some wonder axd suspicion seems to have been attracted by the journey of the unfortunate ex ster of the interior to Geneva, and there is a report that some of the forty-six spies sent abroad, many of whom have lately been recalled into active service from the retirement of comfortable pensioners, have already been put upon his track, Suspicion and mistrust have extended to eyery class, except, perhaps, the peasantry, and to this class of his sub- Jects the czar in return shows himself 80 particularly devoted that officials at court have been reported as obsery- ing that the peasants are now treated like nobles and the nobles ke peas- an It is said that Gen. Baranoff, the emperor's friend and prefect of St. Petersburg, when presenting va- rious deputations of different classes to his majesty, soon after the acces- sion to the throne, }nlwed the peas- ants first in order. There need be no wonder, therefore, considering the cir- cumstances, that even a former min- ister should be unwarrantably sus- pected. ““The endeavors of the present Sla- vophile reactionists are to show that the pacification policy of the late min- istry was an eminently dangerous one, and in conformity with this view the opinion of the present tenants of pow- er on the merits and dewerits of Count Melikoff is expressed in a re- mark attributed by many to the em- peror himself, giving to the count the credit of having a vast deal of intelli- gence, but very little knowledge, As a set-off to this the other side has cir- culated the idea that the reactionists are making as much as they can, and # good deal more than is necesary, of the danger that silently accumulated under Mekiloff, and which the police u‘m]cr'lhmnufl' are now bringing to light, in order to frighten the count and strengthen their own position, ged him to run for his life and send | dered to pass through the eanal d - | honest and sincere purpose. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1881. Tho continual discovery of ex- plosive mines and important revolutionists by the agents of General Baranofl, the one really active and enterprising member of the new regime, shows how carefully and thoroughly planned in the very heart of the city was the assassination of the Iate emperor. Within a radius of less than a mile, on all the roads much frequented by the czar, were the carriors of bombs, the mine under Garden street, the four charges of iite in the Catherine canal un der the stone bridge, and other infer- nal preparations, which, it is confi dently believed, the police will short- ly discover, Divers are still search ing the Catharine canal under the Kazan and Jingars bridgo, near the Winter palace, where it runs_into the Nova, and navy boats have been or- *“Three small matters of little im- port in themselves, but highly instruc tive of the tendency of the time, are the wearing of beards in the army and the reclothing of the police, all in compliance with the wishes of the | czar, Three privates were recently exhibited before his majesty in new umforms, as_yet, however, not very much altered from the old dress, It looks rather strange and unsoldierlike to see soldiers going about with the stubblo growth of many w cks on their chins and the Cossack daily ad- ding another mass of hair to his un- kempt figure. The uniform of the police is entirely new and Muscovite, consisting of a long, loose coat drawn in at the waist, high boots, and a flat sheep’s wool cap Samples of the English constable’s staff have fbeen sent for in view of substituting it for the curved sabre slung from the shoulder. The coat of the police ofticer, made of cloth and edged with silver, where it tolds transversely across the breast from shoulder to waist, is not unbecoming, but as regards the new costume_of the simple policeman, woven of coarse stuff,you only require to let out the waist of the coat and raise somewhat the sheepskin cap to bring it as near as possible to the na- tive costume of the Tekke-Turcomans now in St. Petersburg. Nothing more Asiatic could have been devised. The new dress is being assumed by degrees and is the subject of no little curiosi ty and amusement. ~ With the new dress the police are to receive a con- siderable increase of pay, which is much more caleulated to augment the efficiency of the force than any change of unitorm. The Results of the War, J. Randolph Tucker at Philadelphia Indepen- enco-Day. ‘I'he north triumphed and the south was overwhelmed. The war and its consequent amendments decided: — First, Against the right of seces- sion as a constitutional remedy for any supposed evil. We belong to ‘‘an indestructable Union ot ndestruct- able states.” Second: Slavery was abolished and is forever extinct. Third. The freed African has equal citizenship with the white race, and his race, color and previous con- dition of servitude cannot and do not abate his equal right to life, liberty and property or to suffrage with the free men of every other race. To these decisions 1 bow with entire acquiescence. They are final and irrevocable, and I believe the universal South does the same with It is the American decree that the states cannot destroy the Union, and the Union must not destroy the states! Faithful to the integrity of federal powers, we must be zealous for the conservation of state authority. Each is supreme in its own constitu- tional orbit of power. Of the tederal government says the present chief Justice: “Within the scope of its powers as enumerated and defined, it 1s supreme and above the states; but beyond it has no existence.” 1t i government ‘‘of delegated powers alone, TIts authority is defined and limited by the constitution. All powers not granted to it by that mstrument are orved to the states or to the people.” The true friend to our Union must be a friend to the liberty of the states and of the people, and of the individual man. The enemy of the reserved rights of the states is a foe to their Union. Let us uphold the federal authority in all its integrity to the full and legitimate extent of its delgeated powers, and preserve to the government and the people of the several states all their rights and powers for the maintenance of their autonomy, and for the pro- motion of their local, distinct and pecular interests, so that, with the common progress of all under the control of our federative system, each state may have its distinet and seperate type of civilization; ‘“‘distinct as the billows, one as the sea.” Let us strictly and zealously secure to every citizen his individual and per- sonal rights to life, liberty and self- development by the abolition of special privileges, and opening the gates of enterprise to all as equal con- testants for the prizes of life; by the preservation intact of the sacred writ of habeas corpus, against military and civil power, by the supremacy of the civil authority over the military; by a non-partisan judiciary; by fair and impartial juries, as the palladium of freedom, and by free elections, free from the force of military or civil ofticers, and from the fraud of government or citizens, Let us grant to governments the minimum of power, and socure to the citizen the maximum of liberty con- sistent with the order and safety of saciety, A, Scrateh, druggist, Ruthye “I have the greatest confidence ¢ Buknock Broon Birrexs, In one case with which L am personally acquainted their success was almost incredible, One lady told me that half a bottle did her mol 1 than hundreds of dollars’ worth of medicine she had previously taken.” Price #1,00; trial size 10 cents, jylleodlw Ont.
