# The Wickedest Town in America. correspondent of the New York Sun gives the following account of life in Uheyenue, on the Union Pacific railroad; I have seen wicked cities in my time. I have seen spreeing at the Esler in St. Petersburg, seen fellows " make a night of it" in the Orpheum in Berlin, seen the wickedness at Nijni Novgorod during the September fair, seen the Mabille packed with depravity when the empire was at its meridian, but I never expected to see hell itself. I sauntered out on the streets of Cheyenne at midnight. Fifty saloons and a ilozpn lin^naod oromV?lir?or houses line the principal street, all thronged ;md gaily illnminated till the morning suu puts out the lights. What makes Cheyenne the wickedest city in the world ? I. Cheyenne is the metropolis where the rich owners and the buckskin-clad drivers of fire million dollars' worth of cattle rendezrous for a weekly spree. II. It is the nearest point where the Black Hillers can sell their gold dust >uid nuggets, and then gamble and spree awav the proceeds so as to go back to the mines. III. It is the point to which all the ? Iudian-fighting army officers come as a place where they can spree away a hundred dollars in a nicht and nr? for Clergymen 6hake him by the hand, and bankers chum with him like an old schoolmate. The profits in the one building are $1,000 per day. I suppose there are a dozen houses on one block i where gamblirg goes on day and night 1 with open doors. Sometimes the mar- 1 shal and the policeman take a hand. The judge goes out and " bucks the tiger" while the jury are agreeing on a verdict. You will see colonels in the army standing by private soldiers, and \ see cow boys in buckskin dividing the , chips with a Cheyenne Indian?ell in the most enterprising border town in America and the wickedest city in the world, i Withdrawing the Troops. The following communication was sent j by the President to Secretary of Warj McCrary, relative to the withdrawal of > troops from New Orleans: Sir?Prior to my entering upon the : duties of the Presidency there had been stationed, by order of my predecessor in i the immediate vicinity of the building used as a State House, in New Orleans, T.iniaianft mill tnnnrn an AfcwiVtortimi Tn_ etitute, a detachment of United States infantry. Finding them in that place, I j have thought proper to delay a decision I of the question of their removal until I could determine whether the condition of affairs is now such as to either require or justify continued military intervention of the national governmentin the affairs of the State. In my opinion there does not now exist in Louisiana such domestic violence as is contemplated by the Cou^ stitution as the ground upon which the military power ot the national government may be invoked for the defense of i the State. The disputes which exist as to the right of certain claimants to the chief executive office of that State are to j be settled and determined not by the executive of the United States, but by such orderly and peaoeable methods as may be provided by the Constitution and laws of the State. Having the assurance that no resort to violence is contemplated, ; but, on the contrary, the disputes in j question are to be settled by peaceful methods under and in accordance with the law, I deem it proper to take action in accordance with the principles an-' nounced when I watered upon the duties of the Presidency. You are, therefore, ' directed to see that the proper orders are issued for the removal of said troops at | au early date from their present position to such regular baiTacks in the "vicinity as may be selected for their occupation. The World's Population. The most trustworthy estimate of the : number of the human family for the year 1876, as furnished by statisticians is, 1,423,917^000. The majority live in Asia. About four-sevenths of the human race, or 825,548,500, is Asiatic. Europe comes next, with over a fifth, or 309,178.300; Africa with abont a seventh, or 199,921,-1 600; America with less than a sixteenth, or 85,519,800; and finally Australia and Polynesia, with the very small fraction of 4,748,600 people. Europe is the most densely populated, having eighty-two person to the square mile; Asia, fortyeight to the square mile; Africa, seventeen and a half, and America and Australia five and a half aud one and a quarter respectively.

It is the stopping point for all the swell demi-monde from San Francisco, St. Louis and Chicago. In a word, it is the American paradise for licensed drinking, lighting, gambling, etc. Walk with me into one licensed house on the principal street in Cheyenne at three o'clock in the morning. The house is a medley. It is the Parisian Varieties on Sixteenth street, New York, John . Morrissey's Saratoga gambling house, the Argyle rooms on Sixth avenue, New York, and the Alhambra, 'with its fifty waiter girls, in London, all crowded into one. The building is perhaps 50 by 130 feet, and two stories high. On the ground floor is a theater stage, room for three hundred cow boys, soldiers, ranchmen and waiter girls, and Z just out of it are the gambling tables and w bars. At the tables every known game is played. Among the dealers are sev- i eral French women dressed in silks and i diamonds. Utterly devoid of delicacy j they -shuffle and deal the cards and! handle the chips for the swearing, drinking crowd which throng around the tables. | On the stage there is a constant variety show going on. Skillful variety ! actors are employed, and there the j f tight-rope walkers, the song and dance women in tights, the low-necked ballad ! singer, the clog dancer, the negro ini11- } strel, the model artists, and the female bathers come ont in a continuous btream from ten at night till morning. On.the first floor every drink is twenty-five cents, and abont thirty English, 1 French and American waiter girls keep the crowd constantly drinking. Above j this motley crowd of cow boys, ranchmen, Black Hills freighters, miners and soldiers, is a row of private boxes filled with rich ranchmen, officers, touristsand j follnroo vrrV*r\ Uovn /?Amn rlnwis crolrl AVUV *V U ?? UV UUT V VVXUV uvnu HilU ^V4V4 * dust from the Black Hills. These boxes j all communicate with the stage. Twenty j or thirty waiter girls supply the boxes with champagne, the price of which is $5 for pint bottles. All drinks in the ; boxes are fifty cents. It is a common j tliiug for a ricli ranchman, after selling a thousand- cattle, to come here anil; spend $1,000 on a spree. A colonel in the army, who had been fighting up in j the Big Horn country, came in the other evening and spent $1,000, and finally; left his watch on the red, and lost that too. The proprietor of this gambling and variety saloon is a very generous man. Everybody likes him, and lie is ! considered a good citizen in Cheyenne. CHEAP AND EASY. flow lui migrants Lire on their Way Across the Continent?The Black Hills. Immigrant life on a Union Pacific train is certainly an interesting life. The time 1.1 1. t t\ v. A., a TI ; | mrougu iruui wmtuia. i<j oau x iuuciocu id eight days?a little less thau a voyage from Cork to New York. The immigrant; train generally contains about 400 men, women and children. Children generally j make up half the load. In one car tins morning I counted twenty-five babies and small children, says a correspondent. In another car a mother had thirteen children. This good, patient, self-sacrificing mother was doing all her own cooking and washing on the train. Every night she places the seats cross- ! wise,* makes up a bed for her little ones, . and then they all go to sleep in a nest. 1 The cars run smoothly, very smoothly, on the Union Pacific?so smoothly that ' you can write or shave on the train, j They run about fifteen miles an hour. | The expense of riding is about $5 per ; day, or $15 for eight days. i am astonished at the supply and cheapness of the food along the road. ' , At every station women bring in milk, butter and eggs, which are sold cheaper than you can buy them in Fulton mar* ket. Eggs all the way to North Platte are twenty cents a dozen, milk ten cents per quart, and butter twenty cents per pound, though prices are higher at j Cheyenne and Sidney on account of the Black Hills innovation. The immigrant buys his butter, eggs and milk, and a few loaves of bread; then makes liis coffee and boils his eggs on the train stove as he goes along. " How much does it cost you a day to live ?" I asked a rosy-cheeked mother with two healthy children. , " Oh, about fortv-five cents a dav for i all of us." " What, fortv-five cents a day for you ; and vour children ?" " *Why, yes. See! two quarts of milk and a half-pound of butter, that's thirty cents, , and then coffee and two loaves pf bread, that's fifteen cents more. Forty cents is enough, and we could get along on twenty-five cents, all of us." Professor Blot once said people could I live in New York on ten cents per day. I know they can live on a Union Pacific railroad train for fifteen. Everything is cheap for the immigrant out on the plains. The big eating-houses for the Pullman trains charge one dollar per meal, but anyVhere along the road small eating stations only charge twentyfive and fifty cents per meal. To-day I had fresh-fish at Elm Creek station, caught from the Loup Fork, as sweet and juicy as Moon's Saratoga bass, j mealy potatoes, ham and eggs, delicious beef,* and a nice desert, for fifty cents. It is very amusing to see English tourists fill up big baskets with provisions in Omaha, expecting to find no food as they go over the plains. After the first two days I notice they begin to pitch their stale roast chicken and stale boiled eggs out of the car windows, and regale themselves on the delicious country food, fresh cooked at the stations. Middle and western Nebraska, up to the 100th meridian, is a strange country. The land looks good till you get toward North Platte. It is blacl-, like the Illinois bottoms, but it does not produce as well. The people say they have not: had a fair chance yet. For the last four years the grasshopper has eaten up the4 country. Last year they raised a half crop. This year they are in a state of desperation. They say that if the grass-! hoppers come again, and the crops fail this year, they will give up all and move back into Iowa. But if good crops come here in Nebraska this year, I am satisfied that the thousands and fifty thousands of people who are now moving toward the Black Hills will return and settle in the grasshopper-cursed State. The Black Hills excitement i? doing one ffood. If they do not get rich there, ! many of the immigrants will see the , fine lands along the Platte river in Nebraska, and finally lodge there and settle. The fare from Chicago to Deadwood, including stage fare, is from $35 to $40. Besides the railroad trains, I saw innumerable wagon trains all along the North Platte bound for the Hills. large wagon train started out frcgn Grand Island yesterday. The Black Hills immigrants are mostly from Illinois, Indiana, or points in the i West. On tlie train is a speculator who has two carloads of provisions, which he is j taking to Sidney, The potatoes cost him j forty-five cents per bushels near Omaha, beans #2.25 per bushel, and bacon eight i cents. Potatoes are worth in Sidney 81.20 per bushel, beans $3, and bacon ten cents. In Deadwood, potatoes are worth 85.50, beans 88, and bacon twenty i cents. The Union Pacific charges 81 per hundred pounds from Omaha to Sidney, and the freight from Sidney to Deadwood is $6 per hundred?that is, seven cents per pound from Omaha to Deadwood. Recollectiong of Don Quixote. Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. The absent feel and fear every ill. Self-praise depreciates. The dead to the bier; the living to ' good cheer. All women, let them be ever so homely, are pleased to hear themselves cele- , brated for their beauty. Squires and knights errant are subject to much hunger and ill luck. Liberality may be carried too far in those who have children to inherit from them. Virtue is always more persecuted by the wicked than beloved by the righteous, i Every one is the son of his own works. Honey is not for the mouth of an ass. No padlock, bolts or bars can secure a maiden so well as her own reserve. Wit and humor belong to genius alone. The wittiest person in a comedy is he V. n nlora fit A fnnl There is no book so bad but something . good may be found in it. We are all as God made us, and oftentimes a great deal "worse. Let a hen live, though it be with & pip. We cannot all be friars, and various are the paths by which God conducts the good to neaven. Covetousness bursts the bag. It is easy to undertake, but more difficult to finish a thing. The term is equally applicable to all ranks?whoever is ignorant is vulgar. By the streets of "By and By" one arrives at the house of "Never." Between the "yes" and "no" of a woman I would not undertake to thrust the i point of a pin. Patience, and shuffle the cards. A soldier had better smell gunpowder than musk. Other men's pains are easily borne. A bad cloak often covers a good drinker. Pray devoutly and hammer on stoutly. When a thing is once begun it is almost half finished: Lay a bridge of silver for a flying enemy. The jest that gives pain is no jest. I Masked by Mature. A Puris letter says : Senator Arago has a proverbially large nose. He is an hereditary Republican, and royalists sweai by his organ and artists are loud in their praises of its vennilliou color. A few days ago, during the carnival in Paris, he was going to Versailles, and in the same compartment of the railway carriage wprn hrnthpr apr.ntnrfl And a iadv with an infant on her knees. The chii<i commenced to cry, and Arago endeavored to coax it to be calm, bnt the child cried the more. The lady begged he would cease his pleasantry, as she was flying from Paris, her infant being terrified with the masks and false noses, so she would be obliged if Arago would remove his and conceal it for the remainder of the journey. Mr. Dioffenoi*. This singular man lived in Greece. He was distinguished for his eccentricities, had manners, and bad disposition. It was his chief business to find fault. For example, he took a 'lantern one day wlieu the sun was shining brightly and went out to seareh for an honest n an, thereby insinuating that such persons were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, a distinguished military gentleman, paid him a visit, and inquired what he could do for him; he | had the impudence to tell him to "get out of his sunshine." To cap the climax of his oddi- : ties, he dressed like a beggar and lived in a j twb! He was a sour, crabbed, crusty old bachelor. We infer that he had no wife! first, because history does not mention her; second, j because no woman wauld take kindly to one of his habits, dress or manners, or aspire to become mistress of his mansion. "There wasan old woman who lived in a shoe," it is true, but the woman who would live in a tub, and especially with such a companion, lias not been i heard from. The misanthropic spirit which possessed this man was doubtless dne to disordered digestion and a biliousness, one of the promiuent symptoms of which is a morose, fault-finding disposition. The tongue is heavily coated, giving rise to a bad taste, the appetite is not good, and the patient feels dull, sleepy or dizzy, and is apt to be fretful. Unfortunately, Mr. Diogenes lived several centuries before Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets wero in- i vented, a' few doses of which would have re- j bin* " ftiul htlhblp/l liim fn ' find scores of "honest men" without the aid of his lantern. Under their magic influence, com- ! bined with that of the Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse his blood, he might have J been led to take a more cheerful view of life, j to exchange his tub for a decent habitation, to "spruce up" in personal appearance, and at last have taken a wife to mend his clothes and his manners, both of which were in evident > need of repairs, and become the happy sire of little Diogeneses who would hare handed down to posterity the name, not of a cynic philoso-1 pher, but of a cheerful, healthy, happy, virtuous man ! A Card for Rational Readers. Irrational people always reject good advice, and in nothing is their folly more frequently conspicuous than in igfioring precautions necessary for the retention pf health. Forecast, on , the other hand, is a notable characteristic of j the rational, and it is the exercise of this quality which we would suggest to them. Protect i the system against diseases which fasten upon the debilitated, the nervous and the dyspeptic, j by bracing the physique, regulating* the stom-! ach, bowels and liver, and banishing despondency, with the purest and most efficieut. of botanic invigorauta, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
