THE MIDWEST.

The Greeley Tribune Colorado, for JAM II. is dis
cussing the dark days" of Union Colony-thati u
say the days when the first of its members reached
the location, seven or eight months ago. Macy came
and barely looked at the treeless, hOuSeess land
scape, very thiny covered with low heritage, and
cleared out selling for 800 to $40 their shares in tho
enterprise for which they had paid Sl5j. and losing
the time and money they had spent in reachsg their
fanced Eden. One poor man did this after coming
all the way from Massachusetts; and. only three
months later the location which he fooled away for
800, sold, unimproved, for $780, which is prob
ably more than the original holder will in three
years. 1t was so with scores if not hundreds
The net receipts of the Railroad station at Greeley
for the week ending Jan. 6, were $1,000. Chose Of
the Express company at that point were $3.50.
A surveying party just returned from down the
South Platte reports the valley of that stream as five
miles wide and exceedingly fertile. Buffalo, Antelope
and Deer were found in abundance. Much Cedar
was found in the gulches with Plums and Grapes at
intervals. An exploring party is soon TO prospect
the country from Greeley down To Julesburg l65
miles.
A narrow gauge three feet Railroad from Denver

pushed as far as Colorado City in 1871.

entrance to a miserable tenement-hOuse; and
| fashionable marriages are now demanded we
must remember, by every grade Of young peO-
| pie, from the heiress on MadisOn-ave. to tho
grOcer's daughter. When the bride of mil
lionaire trails yards Of lace up the aisles of
Grace Church, or furnishes her house with
costly trumpery, she only sends back her
Ovcrplus of wealth into the hands of workmen
and mechanics. But when the daughter Of
Smith, the carpenter, fills her wardrobe with
sleazy silks, made strictly after Wortb's pat
terms, and when the clerk whom she marres
feels that hospitality demands from him for
his friends game suppers and cheap ana nasty
champagne, they make of marriage the straight
est path to ruin, and degrade the life which
God gave them for some sound and practical
end into as ludicrOus and tawdry sham AZ

The writer of the above is fair represent

than One Hundred Thousand in this City and
its suburbs, and at least One Million throughout
the country. In the warm months, it is some

sees its ranks refilled and its lines extended.
The country loses by its enforced idleness not
less than One Million Dollars per day, or
Three Hundred Millions per annum. Shall

EFFECT ON IMMICRATIoN.-It il
suggested in some quarters that the
devastating fires in city and country
at tho West may have the effect to
change or impede the current of i'm
migration. The sections just visited
by conflngration were the favoritc re-
sorts Of immigrants from Sweden,
Holland, Norway and Germany.
Many Of the immigrants had invest
ed their all in land, houses and implc-
ments. They arc likely to send
gloomy messages home, and to the
foreigner in Europe it will see'n as if
all tho West was desolalc. Many and
wearisome years arc required to bring
Curms under culture, to produce new
orchards, and to cause new forests to
grow. The New York Commercial
states that in the last two weeks
there has been TN emigration from
the West to the East and South:
which is likely to be increased in vol
ume and force.

going to be an animated contest ovor

A gentleman who has long been q
resident Of California, gives to the
Louisville Courier-Journal tho follow
ing bits of Information about that
State:
Chinese labor is what is running
California. A white man goes there
and finds that he can gctbut six bits Il
day for his work, and that his ex,
penscs are not. less than dollar a
day. No workingman can wear a
white shirt there. The large number
of suicides reported from California
arc, to u great extent, results OF scar
city of. remuncrative labor. No one
tenth Of the amount Of business car
ricd on in San Francisco, few years
ago is being done there now: That
railroad has killed San Francisco.
The letters sent from there by cores
pondents do not tell the truth, and
are gotten up in tho interest of prop
crty-holders, who want to get their
off their hands. California
is no place for anbody to 90 to now.

Z There is not any room for doubling
that the coming winter is to be aw-
fully cold. The prophets all say so,
and the man is insane who disputes
the prophets. They have found the
moss growing thicl; on tho trees, frogs
standing on their heads, sunhowers
pointing toward the North Pole,
grape vines running around poles in
stead of up them, and there arc Il
thousand other signs to show that
every human being will be frozen as
