Colorado and Switzerland.

A correspondent who has just taken
trip over the Kansas Pacific Railway
from Kansas city to Denver-after
giving a glowing description of the
Grand Plains of Kansas-the Buffalo
Antelope &c.,-institutes the following
comparison between the mountain
heights and the climate of Colorado
and Switzerland:
A comparison of heights between the
towns of this neighborhood and some
points in Switzerland may perhaps be
interesting. The highest part of the
Splugen Pass is six thousand nine hun
dred feet above the sea the ,Ri2hi is
five thousand nine hundred st. Goth
ard Pass, six thousand eight hundred
and eight; La Flegire, six thousand
three hundred and fifty; the Hospice
of st. Bernard-the highest point OF
Switzerland inhabited all the year round
lis eight Thousand two hundred feet,
taOo hundred feet toWer than Central
and ueorgetoWh; four. hundred feet
lower than the town Of Empire, and at
least five thousand feet lower than the
winter quarters Of miners in the Como
70 lode, on Mount Lincoln. When |
reached Central at New Years, there
was no snow on the ground nor any to
be seen in the canon-and as for glaciers
and avalanches, you might as well look
for them in New York; and yet the lat.
itude of the central part Of switzerland
is only seven degrees north of that ol
our mountain towns. The air there III
winter is at intervals so soft and balmy
that ftirs are insupportable, and only
one moderate stove, is needed in the
great parlor of the Teller House. The
received idea here is that the immense
bulk of the Rocky Mountains radiatei
more heat than would be received by {
larger proportion of isolated peaks, o.
single range, and thus moderates tht
general temperature. Quien sabes

Negro Jurors.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial has been in the Red River
Country, where the black population 30
largely preponderates, and the juries
are selected from both races. He says:
"I asked white man who had had con-
siderable jury experience, how it work
ed. He said 'tit worked tolerably well
after fellow got used to it."
did it take much effort to get used
to it p">I asked.
eyes, sir you bet it was the con-
foundest hardest thing to get used to
ever you heard Of. I haven't got used to
the smell yet. OF hot day in a close
room with a lot of fat niggers sitting on
case, it's pretty hard. But we have
to submit, for if some of Us white peo-
pie didn't go on the jury it would be all
niggers, and that would be ruin"
"How are the juries divided?" I
asked.
ooh, just as it happens, SO there is
some of each race on every jury. Some
times there's only two niggers, some
times four, sometimes six, and some
times ten"
Glow are they about agreeing upon
verdicts?"
"They are better than the whites.
The niggers never hang a jury. When
I am on jury with them, and the suit
is on an account, for instance, just
figure up the amount, and say: Boys,
here, Jones owes Smith so much and
80 much and 30 much, giving the figures,
and Smith owes Jones 80 much and 80
much, giving figures, which leaves
Jones behind with Smith so much, and
that's what we must render judgment
for Theyall agreet to it, although they
don't know any more about figures than
hog does about theology"
"Tll say this for the niggers," he
continued, "they are not stubborn on
jury at all but SO far as my expe-
rience goes, they are always anxious
to do the right thing between man and
man."
"When their own color is involved,
how is it ?" I asked.
"Just the same. They do not shield
their own people. They'll hang mig
ger for murder just as quick as they will
white man, and a good deal quicker.
Sometimes 1 think they are little too
hard on their own race. But I suppose
they fear we will charge them with par
TALLY. On the whole, a niger makes
a pretty fair juryman."
"Was there no great opposition to
his serving in that capacity? ?"
"Oh, yes. thunder was to pay for a
while. White men said they wouldn't
sit with niger, they would die first,
and all that, but they had to swallow
the dose, and have now got used to it.
There is nothing like being usedto any
thing, is there?"

Indian Justice.

Ex-Gov. Seymour's addresses upon
topics connected with the early history
of New York State are always interest
ing and valuable. Peculiarly so was
the grafton he delivered at Hamilton
College at the dedication Of the monu-
ment to the memory of Rev. Samuel
Kirkland, the founder OF that institd-
ton. In the course of it he said:
"The chief interest in the character
of Kirkland grows out of his labors in
behalf of the confederate nations of In
dians, who in their day held the desti-
MES of this country in their hands.
They were savage, fierce, wid, and
cruel, but they were also heroic and
patriC &c people. They were brave and
skillful warriors, wise Legislators, keen
diplomatists, and eloquent orators. In
all these respects they lowered above
all other tribes upon this continent.
They held in subsection vast extent OF
country, and in proportion to their
numbers they conquered ti1ote etetiies
and held control of more territory by
force of arms than any people of which
history gives account since the days OF
Alexander the Great. By the testimony
of friends and enemies alike, they are
shown to be the foremost tribes within
the limits of the United States. Until
Europeans came, their boast that they
were men excelling all other men,
was not vain one so far as wisdom,
diplomacy, and arms were concerned.
A gentleman of this State. and a de-
scendant of one of its mos honored
families, has given me statement de-
rived from the highest authority, which
shows the mastery they had gained
over the coast tribes. After the whites
had formed large settlements about the
harbor of New York and its vicinity,
the Long Island Indians sold some of
their land to their civilized neighbors
without the permission of their Iroquois
masters. It was difficult to punish this
act by war without making trouble
with the whites. Asingle Mohawk war
rior took upon himself the duty of
vindicating the honor of his people.
Armed with his tomahawk and deco
rated with his war paint, he trod the
forest paths along the banks of the
Mohawk and the Hudson, passed
! through the white settlements to the
village of the guilty tribe. Having
called council Of its warriors, he re-
preached them for their act of disre-
spect towards their masters, and de-
manded the name of the man who first
signed the deed. A chief arose and
said it was his act. AS he uttered this
admission, the Mohawk struck him
dead with his tomahawk, and, turning
on his heel, went back upon his solitary
path unmolested and unquestioned."
