DEATH OF jim BRckwoURTH--The Denver Ga
-stfe of January 22d has the following notice OF
OF this notable who well known on the Pa
ciic coast in connection with the Pass named after
him, his hunting career and pioneer adventures:
We learn with regret of the death of Jim Beck
wourth on the Laramie Plains. We have known
poor Jim for some years and testify to the
fact that he was ever more sinned against than SIN
mag. There are few men in the world who have
passed through more exciting or eventfal history
iha he. and there are but few who had heart big
ger than he. Many of the exciting, startling sfo-
ries he told of his comrades and contemp oraueous
pioneers and frontiersmen of the West, together
with the romances told of his own personal al
venturoIs history to many seemed too startling to
be true hut there are many men on the western
frontier who vouch for their truth. Poor Jim
has gone to his happy hunting grounds. and may
he rest in peace after his eventful career is the
wish of many true friend in Colorado.

MR Ed: Our immediate vicinity is so poor in
incidents that your correspondent is compelled to
look into fctions and distractions for material with
which to weave a story. or ''spn yarn; however,
the present statement may be no fiction; it, as
newspaper version stands good show to be either
fiction or fact.
few years since, when Horace Greedy visited
the City Of the Saints it was stated by reliable
correspondent that the aforesaid Horace was accos
ted by lady who told him that she had discovered
her affinity in him, said she yearned for him, and
also had the consummate erontery to ask him if be
did not yearn for her ? Mary yearn, said the un-
romantic Horace The lady was astounded, to
think that man OF his phosophic abilities, and
far reaching sagacity, should fail to reciprocate
feeling which flooded over her own heart like
shower of inspiration.
Now, sir, nv unbiased opinion is that the lady
had fallen desperately in love with Horace Greely
at first sight, Chat first sight love. you know, is
favorite theory of mine } and knowing that his
visit to Salt Lake would only occupy a few days,
determined at once

But il is useless to speculate the rash act that
precipitated that womans hopes from the highest
point of elimination to the lowest depths Of des-
pondence.
Ihave thrown the thing into verse, and hope that
it may meet with favorable reception from the
readers of the RECORD. at the same time wishing
that some abler pen might do the subject full JUS
tce; because such striking instances OF female he
rosm should not be permitted to pass away into
the tomb of forgetfnlness and then, the stole firm
ness of Horace Greedy in resisting the seductive
love of beautiful woman (of course she was
beautiful; no man would be ungallant as to re-
fuse her that poor compliment) should not be lost
to the credit of our progressive country.
Horace. l at last have found thee,
Horace Greedy thou art mine,

Now the day has dawned upon me,
And no grief my joy can mar
My affinity is with me

Mary yearn said Horace tircely,
And his words upon the air.
Feli and died like phantom echoes
In the valley of despair!

And her eyes sad and fearless,

And the heart of Horace Greey,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The general tone, at financial centsrs, is about
the same as last week. Money mar compara-
lively easy. but no pressure for loans except for
speculation in produce, and as this is always an
extremely hazardous business, loans are made
with great caution.
Trade is undoubtedly reviving with the COM
ing of spring. but as yet there Is no spring
trade" such as it was in former years, and the
season threatens 10 fritter away in disappoint-
lnent to iobbers The fact is becoming more evil
dent every day, that the country is impover-
ished, the producing classes are overridden by
excessive taxes and the unprecedented cost OF
living. and have neither the means or DISPOSE
ton to buy except articles Of prime necessity.
The Treasury statement for March, just pub
lished, shows receipts of the year S423,9",5o9oo
and expenditures $3.50 ,0S6al5.46. leaving an ex-
cess of S200,89i, 1880 towards reduction OF the
public debt The internal revende receipts 1or
March have unexpectedly come up = estimates,
and the revenue from customs has been abeut the
same as last year. 1t is estimated tat the fall
ing off in internal revenue for the current year,
on account of reductions of the recent tax bill,
will not exceed $250O0,OoO
Gold has remained steady at 133Gi34.
In the general produce markets the tendency
upward continues The speculative feeling was
particularly active in cereals, until the middle of
the present week, when the movement seemed to
meet with a check, and prices show sight de-
