selves neatly and sometimes even grace
fully dressed, and not forget their bushes
under free compliments would be passing
strange, if we did not see it daily in our
journey and know it by the whole history
of the sex. / certainly have seen young
women out here, miles away from neigh
bors, knowing no society but their hus-
bands and children and the hurried trav-
elers,-depending on the mails for their
chief knowledge of what the world is do
iug,-who could pass without apology or
gaueherie to the presiding over Boston

Washington. Not all, to be sure, are
such, but then they are frequent enough
to be noted with both surprise and plea

This is the northern border of Colora-
do We pass to-day into Dacotah. Be-
fore parting with the former territory, let
me note few facts about it and its
people:
Colorado has now not over $4,000 to
10000 population, which is no more than
she had in 1860. The adventurers are
gone. What remain are the substantial,
the earnest, who have cast their lot with
the territory, are satisfied with its prom
ise and are wisely working for the con-
struction of state, and their own estate.
A large propor' ion are men who came here
4, 5 and years ago, and have reason
for the faith that is in them. Gov. Ev-
ans, the territorial governor, is from Illi-
nois, was formerly physician in Chicago,
and is an elderly gentleman of much in
telligence and enthusiasm, woll-informed
as to the territory, and greatly interested
in its welfare. He is prominent candi-
date for one of the U. S. senators when
Colorado becomes a state. Though she
refused to do this last year, it was under
combination of adverse arguments, not
likely to occur again. Some voted no in
order to escape the draft; the democrats
to keep out republican state; many of
the republicans because they did not like
the candidates simultaneously presented
for state officers; others because they
thought it TOO early. But now the feel
ing is strong for state; and Mr.. Colfax
has increased it by his cogcnt, practical
arguments in its favor. Gen. John Pierce
the surveyor general of the territory, is
one of the strong men here; and he and
Mr.. Teller, the leading lawyer at Central
City. are likely to be among the candi-
dates for the U. S. Senate under the new
organization. Mr.. Wittier, now assessor
under the internal revenue law. and an
old settler, will probably be candidate for
governor again. He is brother-in-law Of
Mr.. Colfax.
The judiciary Of the territory has been
in very bad hands, and is one strong rea.
son for seeking state government. The
chief justice is Mr.. Harding, from Ind,
whom Mr. Lincoln first sent to Utah as
governor but he became so unpopular and
ineffective there that he had to be recalled
and his fall was broken by this place
Having proved unfit for one position, he
was given another in which he has be-

community and all docency by living
openly here in an adulterous manner with
two women he brought from Utah, while
he has wife in his old home of Indiana
And he has just aroused new feeling
against himself from the miners by hi
decisions in an important case between
two mining companies. Fitz John Por
