He says: She pleaded earnestly for tho curtailment of the liquor-traffic, but let the cutout of the bag when she admitted she did not expect much improvpruvnt, until woman .gets the ballot;' and, of courr, she did not tell us about reforms wrought in Wyoming, where woman suffrage has had a fair test; pprliajm idie fought il; very I'kely, and we rjivp her the benefit of the doub'. Won derful magnanimity, un-akali't gen erosity after an insinuation that it had been purposely with held; beneath the dignity of a gentleman. Now will the writer, with the columns of a news paper at his command, that boast of a circulation more than equal to that of all the other papers in this part of tbe state combined, enlighten us on the effects of woman suffrage in Wyoming We are approaching an election, where the woman suffrage question will be suhmittrd to the people, and evoiy ar gument bearing on the question, either pro or con, should be bi ought forwaid wiihou: prejudice, so that voter may fairly underxtand the measure; and we would a.k our friend of the 'Tunes" in whatsoever won.an suffrage has been determined to the best inlere-us of the people of Wyoming Territory A careful review of thf press dispatches since woman have bteti invested with ballot there, hx failed to reveal to u, in what way the people have Veen in jured, particular! t Hai the earth quake, the cyclone, grast hoppers, war, famine or pestilence, scattered desola tion broadcast over thn land Are their husbands widowero, and their children motherless.

It happened s follows: The wri cr, a member of Company G, First Delaware Iiifutitrr, was then attached to thcTliiid brigade (Weber) Third iltv i'loii (FiciicIiV). Beeoti'I carpi (sunnier'). After wading Aniblam Creek, plunged through plowed fields, stuhhV lie d iitnl corn fiehle, Lis regi ment was fin ally located within plain view ot the enemy, u hen the welconiR command ran aloii the linu to "load and fire at will." It wan then that our diily target p aclice at Fortress Mon ro came into excellent ue, as many n poor devil of ihe Sixth Alabama loaniC'I (o his cost. After liiing elev en rounds, tbo writer was wounded and orderi.il to the rear. While retrwaiing iu good order, but making most excellent lime, his ruuto led him through n pnriiun of ihe Irish brigade, lloru ho saw a sight that clapped the :liinax of horror. A mem ber ot ih.it devted biigade was aimless ly sttiiiibliiig around with both eyes Khot out, begging some one, ' for thu lutu of God," to put an end to llin misery. A lieutenant of the Fourth Ne- Votk was pacing by, and, seeing thu uor fellow's condition and hearing his Mppetil, he halted beforo him and asked if lie really nietuit what he said. "Oh, yes, comrade," was the reply, '! cannot possibly live, and my agony it unendurable." Wiihuul another word tho officer drew his pistol, placed it In the vict ims liht ear, turned nw.iy his head and pul'ed thu tiigger.

Mail Robbery. Victosia, B. C, May 1. The Col onist of tins iiio'iiiiig contains thu fol- liiig umler ihe heuiliuguf "Astound ing Di-vCOM i :"' Within the ptstfew d.ts nit alarming fa-t has come to ligh:. It has been it-eei t lined that all Eugli.-h and Oitniilisti Iwtterd which left Victoria lii the 21st nnd 24, h of March, by thn Puget Sound steamer, for transportation Etstwurd via the Northern Pacific railway, iiae never reached their ileitina'ltin. Included in th two lu ti! weru over -00 registered uiid a very latgo number of unregis tered letter. Without exception, all tli(!-.n h ive disappoartul. Tho custom is to tuko n receipt from the United States mail ngeut ou the Sound steam er, afler hLh the bags nro pused to his care. It is piesumeil that he in turn lakes a neript from t If mail agent ou the'triiin at Tacoma, mid that from that point on thcpoper precau tionsaro taken fur tin protection and ciro of the ina'N. The robbery is be lieved to have occurred sotnewl er on the limt of the Northern Pacilic rail, way. The pecuniary !n- is doubtless lutivy, and it will fall wilh peculiar force upon many persons residing here, some of whom wore sending remit tances from Canada and England for British Columbia, via the Northern Pacific railwav, uero stolen. Subse quently some parties iu Oregon were found to have ubout 340,000 in Cana dian Government cheques aud drafts m their Mi.spsion, which -?iey tried t negotiate but could not. The piper wis sent ou to this pla'-o where it had been previously cancelled. It is hoped that a rigid inniiry will bt instituted by both the Ctiiadiaii nnd United States Government, and that the guilty parties will be brought to justice. Martiseduro. Va., May 1.
