Long Dresses.

Oliver Wendell Holmes uses the following
language, none too strong, in reference to
one of fashions foolish freakss
"But confound the make believe women
we have turned loose in our streets where
do they come from? Not out of Boston
parlors, / trust. Why, there isn't beast OF
bird that would drag its tail through the dirt
in the way these creatures do their dresses.
Because a Queen Or Duchess wears long
dresses on great occasions, maid of all
work or factory girl thinks she must make
herself a nuisance by trailing through the
streets, picking up and carrying about her
bahl that's what call getting vulgarity in
to your bones and marrow
''Show over dirt il the attribute of vulgar
people. If any man can walk behind one
of these women, and see what she rakes up
as she goes, and not feel squeamish, he has
got tough stomach. I would not let one
of them into my room without serving them
as David did Saul at the cave in the wilder
ness-cut off her skirts.
''Don't tell me that a true lady ever sac
rifees the duty of keeping all about her sweet
and clean, to the wish of making a vulgar
show. / don't believe it of lady There
are some things that no fashion has any
right to touch, and cleanliness is one of these
things. 1t is an insult to respectable laun,
dress to carry such things into house for
her to deal with"

,..aaa.na After passing these, we come to
~. L IS the mountains proper, which, at
s r ,1sce are composed of reddish, friable
gfani1 .he opinion of many about here that
- u.ooantains have shrunk back from these
.ne r;dges, thus causing the deep, grassy
rolleys which intervene and Bayard Tay-
,or. think, speaks of this as being the cause
Of the separation. But few minutes exam
nation from the summit of one of the
"backs" will easily disprove this theory, and
show that the valleys have been worn out by
the action of rain, frost and running water,
s$hey are now being extended by the same
means.
Here again we were deceived by the re.
markable clearness of the atmosphere, dis
lance seeming to have no effect upon the ap
pearance or distinctness of objects. A per
spectiye decrease in size gives the only ides
Of distance. While approaching Denver the
mountains can be seen at a distance of over
one hundred miles, and from Denver 1t is
difficult to make one believe that the noun
tains are five miles distant, when It IS really
twelve to the nearest point From Denver
a well-known mill can be seen upon the side
of the mountain at distance of forty miles
The scarcity of rain and the GOODNESS Of
the evening air are also noticeable features
of the climate, and it is often so cold in the
mornings as to render an overcoat necessa
~, and blankets are always used at night.
Rain and thunder clouds are seen every
dayupassing around and over us, yet it sci
dom rains on the plains west of the noun
tains, the rain having been wrurg from thu
clouds by the cold mountain peaks in thei
passage from the west. So in the noun
tains they have rain every day, while upol
their eastern slope very seldom.

This is very good season for boiler ex.
plosions, as hardly week passes wherein
we are not compelled to notice the fact OF
some boat being blown sky-high, with pas
sengers and cargo, through the agency of a
defective fue. The latest sensation of this
kind was on board the steamer Gem, a boat
plying on the Illinois river, which resulted
in the death of two men and fatal injuries
to Others
The steamer left St. Louis last Monday
evening, and had arrived at the north fork
OF Notices creek, between Naples and
Beardstown, when one of the boilers explo-
ded. A roustabont, named Jerry O'Brien,
was struck on the head by a piece of iron
and instantly killed, as also fireman. whose
name we have not learned. A number OF
deck hands were badly scalded-John Muir
phy not being expected to survive. The in
Jured men were at once transferred to the
cabin of the Belle of Pike and brought to
this city, where they were sent down to the
Marine Hospital for treatment. 1t is con.
slaaered impossible for them to survive the;,

A Swindler.

A friend at Joliet, ILL.,, writes us a letter
detailing some interesting confidence" ope
rations of one G. Il. Benton in that and 9th
er localities. This fellow, Benton, has pro
vided himself with printed cards and forged
documents, representing himself to be a
special correspondent of the St. Louis Re
publican" We hear of him "deadheading'
at hotels and borrowing money on the
strength of this audacious pretension.
Benton, or whatever the scoundrers real
name is, is playing an old game. He is no
better than thief. No correspondent OF
this paper is authorized to do any such dir
ty business as this chap is represented as do.
ing, and it can always safely be assumed
that any man who registers his name at a
hotel as an attache of the Republican, with
a view to getting his board for nothing, is
an imposter, just as is this swindler Benton

The Gin sinnati Enquirer says that under
pretence of love for the soldier, the people OF
Ohio were taxed some 100000 to support
the widows and orphans of the soldiers killed
in the war. The taxes were paid, but never
reached the said widows and orphans. The
radical state officers, says our contemporary,
diverted the money to another purpose, and
the widows and orphans of the soldiers were
left to hunger and to rags.
This thing of love for the soldier has been
played upon by set of radical demagogues
about as long as it can be made available
for purposes of chieanery and fraud. 1t has
been the favorite instrument of thieves, polit
ical mountebanks and other kinds of knaves
for considerable number of years, during
the war and since.

THE BRIDAL.

BYA DECIDEDLY CoNFIRMED BACHELOR.
Not laugh was heard, not joyous note,
As our friend to the bridal we hurried;
Not wit discharged his farewell shot,
As the bachelor went TO be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sighed as We stood by the lamps dim
light, s
To think that he not more discerning.
To think that bachelor, free and bright,
And shy of the sex as we found him,
Should there at the altar, at dead of night,
Be caught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though of wine and cake partaking,
We escorted him home from the scene of dread
While his knees were awfully shaking
Slowly and sadly we marched him down
From the first to the lowermost story;
And we have never seen or heard the poor mar
Whom we left alone in his glory.

of many radicals regarding the Surratt case,
that they are worthy of publication;
LET US HANG HIN FOR HIS MOTHER!
Let us hang him for his mother!
Let us twist his gullet now!
Swing him first, then try him after
We are practiced and know how.
Let us hang him for his mother,
Whom slaughtered in his stead;
Hang him! innocent or guilty
We can try him when he's dead
Let us hang him for has mother!
She was tender, he is tough,
And the woman didn't struggle
To our liking half-enough.
When he's buried Holt can try him;
If he's innocent who cares?
Twill only give some Conover
State Prison if he swears.
