Bayard Taylor In Colorado.

Bayard Taylor is out in the 'Far
West In writing TO the Tribune OF
Denver, Colorado, he says:
First, let me say that the views
which have appeared in the illustrated
papers are simply caricatures. In
stead OF being cluster Of houses on
fat plain, with range OF clumsy
mountains in the distance and Pixies
Peak standing alone in the centre
thereof, it is built upon gradual slope,
rising eastward from the junction Of
Cherry Greek with the Platte. 1t is
as we'll built as any town OF equal size
in the Mississippi Valley The Meth
odist Church and Seminary, the Banks,
and principal business houses, solidly
constructed Of brick (the former edi-
fee with considerable architectural
beauty,) give the place an air OF per
manence, very surprising to one who
has just arrived from the East. Be-
yond the Platte the land rises with a
gentle, gradual slope, to the base OF the
Rocky Mountains, Il miles distant, and
there is no part Of the town = hich
does not afford a view of the great
range Longs Peak, more than $4,000
feet in height, just fills the vista OF the
principal business street Pixies Peak
is far to the left, overlooking to the
head Of the great Cherry Creek Val
ley.
Although business Of all kinds is
extraordinary dull at present, and the

as Colorado nature will admit, Denver
seems to me 10 have very brisk and
lively air. A number OF substantial
buildings are going up, there is con-
slant movement in the streets, the
hotels are crowded, and the people
one meets are brimfull of cheerful en-
ergy. The stores and ware houses
are thoroughly stocked, and prices are
lower than one would expect, consid
ering the tedious and expensive land
transportation. At the Pacific Hotel
you pay 81 per day-no more than in
/ New York, and have an equally good
table There may not be such an ex-
cessive bill Of fare, but could distin-
guish no difference in the cooking
Vegetables in the market are plenty
and cheap, and appear to be ofremark-
able fine quality.

cottonwoods, and perhaps a dozen
other specimens are dispersed singly

Mr. Genio c. Scott, an old sports
man and contributor to Wilkes Spirit
of the Times, writes TO that journal:
The enterprise of gentlemen of the
metropolis causes them to monopolize
the salmon rivers of the North as well
as the striped fisheries of the East, and
tue trout waters of the middle and
eastern States Already are the sal
mon rivers in New Brunswick parcell-
ed out, as in Scotland and Ireland, at
so much Il rod. | have just received
letter from the lessee of the famous
Nepisiquit river, near Bathurst. by
which | am informed that be and FIVE
New Workers have the whole river
this year, with the stipulation that
only six rods are to be used. Other
waters, away on to New Foundland
and those of Lower Canada and Lab
rador, which empty into the St. Law
renee, are chiefly hired by gentlemen
of New York.
1t is now necessary for good salmon
angling 10 60 as far as Labrador
There is prospect that the numerous
salmon rivers on the island of Anita
cost will soon be opened to competi-
ton, in which case the steamers to ply
this season between the coast of Lab
rador and the terminus of a railroad
in New Brunswick will render all
these northern fisheries much more
accessible to New Workers than they
art at present; and instead of making
the rounds to the watering places with
their extemporised accommodations of

Economy of Moving Machines.
a gentleman Of experience Civ


A gentleman Of experience gives
as his opinion that good moving
machine will save a farmer, upon an
average, one eighth of his crop OF
grass, aside from the fact that "hay.
ing is done" much sooner, and there
10y great saving must be made. He
says the average hight of grass is
about sixteen inches, and that a ma
chine, on an average, mOws two inch
es closer than n scythe, TINS saving
two inches of grass over the whole
surface. If man cuts forty tuns
of hay with a MACHINE, he saves five
tuns of hay, as he would not have
got but thirty. five tuns with the
scythe. Calling hay worth, upon the
average, sS 90 per tun, there Is u
saving of $40 90 per year in hay, to
say nothing of labor. Thus the price
of the moving machine is saved in
three years-no inconsidcrable item.
But this is a small item when com
pared with the saving in labor and
"thc wear and tear of disposition" in
swinging scythe through a hot fore
noon. Commend to us the mower
as a labor. saving machine over all
others invented for the use of the
farmer.

QUARRELiSG.-lf anything in the
world will make man feel badly,
except punching his fingers in the
crack of door, it is, unqucstionably,
q quarrel. No man ever fails to think
less of himself after than before. 1t
degrades him in the eyes of others,
and what is worse, increases the
power Of passionate irritability on
the other. The truth is, the more
peacefully and quietly we get along,
the better for our neighbors. In nine
cases out Of ten, the better course
is, if man cheats you, quit dealing
with him; il he is abpsiye, quit his
company; if he slanders you, take
care to live so that nobody will be-
lieye him. No matter who he is, or
how he misuses you, the wisest way
is to let him alone for there is moth.

quiet way Of dealing with the wrong

The symptoms of Catarrh are at hrst very
sbght. Persons find they have cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
sitive 20 the changes Of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or a slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity andchanged
in quality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawlted or coughed of. The secretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes are weak !; the sense
of smell 10 lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom ~
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat in the morning Of a thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that his disease is on its
way TO the lungs, and should lose no time in
arrestingit.
