A MILLIONAIRE AT THE PEN1rESr1ARY.

a MILLIONAIRE AT THE PENITESTIARY.
John Develin, the Brooklyn member
of the whiskey ring, who was sent to
the Penitentiary for defrauding the
Government out of different sums of
money, has arrived at that institution.
1t is said he made half a million of
dollars. He is the richest man in the
institution. He is worth two millions
of dollars. This is a world of change,
for last year Develin INDUCED in wood
cock and cushioned arm chairs. This
year he will devote to shoemaking and
corn meal, made attractive with "long
sweetening"-New Orleans molasses.
The worshipers of red tape tried to save
the man from the proper punishment
for his rascality, but they were not
equal to the task. Develin will eat the
bread of industry for the first time in
some years. Develin's fate and shaved
head should, and we hope viii, prove
a warning to other rich rascals who
find in fraud and perjury an easy road
to sudden riches and the State prison.
Develin did intend to run for Congress
next fall. Having been elected to the
Penitentiary, he viii not be able to
participate in the canyass.-Al6dny

COLORADO FOR THE SPoRTsMAN.-To
that class of men who are fond Of hunt
ing and fishing, this mountain country
offers extraordinary attractions. With
in a couple of days of horseback travel
of Denver or Central, man can find
game in abundance, and of a kind which
affords the most exquisite enjoyment to
the hunter. On one side the buffalo,
deer and antelope are to be found in
immense herds, and on the other, if
more exciting and dangerous sport is
desired, cinnamon or black bear can
be easily reused from his hiding place
in the thick brushwood. The mountain
districts afford such a safe retreat for
animals such as the mountain lion, bear
and fox, that they will not very likely
be entirely destroyed for q long time.
There are places within ten miles of this
city which are not visited by human
being once in twelvemonth. In these
out-of-the-way places the bears and Ii
ons will make their homes for years to
come, so that sportSmen who are fond
of real excitement can be accommoda-
ted any day. The vicinity of George
town has been a favorite haunt of these
monster wild beasts until quite recent
ly. Even last summer they were
known to make their appearance in the
evening twilight, in the neighborhood
of the slaughter house, being attracted
by the smell of the fresh, warm blood.

ARTIFICIAL MnKTSG.-A new cow
milking machine is thus described:
The cows stand in row; attached to
each teat is tube with a close-ftting
mouth, and all these tubes communicate
with pumps, which are driven by steam
or horse power. The cows being thus
properly tapped, the pumps are set to
work, and the milk drawn from their
comfort to the animals. Indeed, the
editor says, the cows soon learns to

er elevate into the dignity of an art.
We do not care TO enter into these dis
putes. Whether an art or handicraft,
chromo-lithography certainly re-produ-
ces charming little pictures vastly supe-
rior to any colored plates that we have
had before and it is, at least, clearly
entitled to be regarded as q means OF
educating the popular taste, and thereby
raising the national ideal of art.
A correspondent, looking at chromos
from this point of view, thus indicates
lit may be somewhat Enthusiastically
their possible influence on the culture
of the people -
"What the discovery of the art OF
printing did for the mental growth OF
the people, the art of chromo-litho-
graphy seems destined to accomplish
for their aesthetic culture. Before types
were first made, scholars and the veal
thier classes had ample opportunities
for study for even Bibles were chained
in churches, and copies of the Scriptur-
es (then aptly so styled were worth a
heard of cattle, there were large ibrar-
les accessible to the aristocracy of rank
and mind. But they were guarded
against the masses by the double doors
Of privilege and ignorance. A book
possessed no attractions for the man
who could not read the alphabet; and,
because they were rare and hard to get
at, he had no Indictment to master their
mysteries. Made cheap and common,
the meanest peasant, in the course of g
few generations, found solace for his
griefs in the pages of the greatest au-
thors of his times and of all time Men
tai culture became possible for whole
nations and democracy, with its illim-
table blessings, gradually grew up
under the little shadow of the first
printers proof
"Until within quite recent period,
art has been feudal in its associations.
Galleries of priceless paintings, indeed,
there have always been in certain favor
ed cities and countries; but to the peo-
pie, as whole, they have been equally
inaccessible and unappreciated, because
no previous training had taught the
community hOc to prize them. 1t was
like Harvard College without the dis
trict school,-a planet without satellites,
and too far removed from the world OF
the people for its light to shine in the
cottage and in the homes of the masses.
E'Now, chromo-lithograp although
still in its infancy, promises to ditfuse
not love of art merely among the peo-
pie at large, but to disseminate the choic-
est masterpieces of art itself. 1t is art
republicanized and naturalized in Amer
lea. Its attempts hitherto has been COM
paritively ambitious but it was not
Homer and Plato that were first honor
ed by the printing 1t was dreary
catechisms of dreary creeds. So will it
be with this new art. AS the popular
taste improves, the subject will be wor-
thier of an art which seeks to give back
to mankind what has hitherto been con-
fined to the few."-BoSton Advertiser.

The Memphis Avalanche publishes The
following card:
EDITORS avalanche For some months
past have been engaged getting up an ar
rangemeDt to open an Office in Cincinnati
for the sale of Soathern farming lands. and
have on hand a large quantity Of the finest
lands 10 Tennessee, Arkansas and Missis
sppi, for sale. at low rates. I have, how
ever, in the meantime. after diligent inqui-
ry, satisfied myself that it is useless to offer
these lands for sale. The invariable an
swer to my invitation is 4 can't live un-
der a negro government" am assured
of thousands of good and worthy men who
would be glad to come among US aud share
our fate as people, and would do so but
for the difficulty above stated. My inqui-
ries have satisfied me that instead of CAPT
tai and labor being brought into the coun-
try, they are leaving it by thousands
Many of the letters from citizens Offering
me their lands for sale say, 81 want to sell
and leave the State" am satisfied that
no sales can be made, and must therefore
ask you to discontinue my card.
Respectfully, P. r. SCRUeGs.
The Union and Dispatch comments by
saying that Mr.. Seruggs is a gentleman of
high standing in Memphis. and his testi-.
mony, founded upon experience, is entitled
to great. weight. The Northern people Of
every shade of politics, are very much a.
verse to negro rule, and claim that this is
white mans government This is borne
out by the fact that in every State in which
the question Of negro suffrage has been sub
mitted to the people, it has been defeated.
Only the other day it was defeated i'm Mi
chigan by nearly forty thou and majority,
and yet the Republicans carried that State.
In Ohio the majority against negro suffrage
was about fifty thousand, notwithstanding
the Radicals elected their Governor by near
! ly three thousand. In Iowa the majority
| against negro suffrage was but about tw elve
hundred, but the Radicals carried the State
by large majority. Is it matter to ex-
cite wonder that people whose Prejudices
against negro suffrage are thus strong,
should refuse to invest their means in a
State where not only the right Of suffrage
is conferred upon negroes, but where they
are made Office holders and jurors, and
where they hold the balance of power in
| important elections

a Story for the Marines.

An exchange paper tells the follow ing

On the passage of the ship Alexander

lad, about Il years OF age, of naturally
frolicsome and mischievous disposition,
became SO Troublesome in his pranks, that

they were continued, that he would coDfne

leaving large bunghole for the admission
of air. Thatnight the ship encountered
violent storm, and, in a sudden luroh, the
cask containing the boy rolled over into the
sea. Fortunately. the bung struck up, and
foated about 80 hours, and was thrown
upon the beach at st. Bias. Here the boy
made desperate efforts to extricate himself
from his prison, but without success, and
in despair gave up TO die. Some COWS.

grasped with desperate resolution. The
COW beloved, and after running some two
hundred yards with the cask, struck it
against log on the beach, and knocked it
to smash. The boy was discovered BY
some fishermen on the point, and taken to
Apalachicola, where a small collection be-
ing made for him, he was enabled to pro-
coed north by way of Columbus
