CLOTHES AND THINGS.

CHEAP GooDs.-The large reduction
of prices advertised by merchants has
been met with doubt by many, but it is
bona tide, and is compelled by the
scarcity of money. Experienced shop
pers and lovers of bargains are soon
convinced of this when shown excellent
calicoes for nine or ten cents yard, and
Wamsutta muslin at fifteen cents, while
other standard brands are at similar low
prices. The good result of simple
styles is also now evident, when twelve
or fourteen yards of double width wooden
goods will make polonaise and skirt,
instead of the eighteen or twenty yards
formerly used. Among other season.
able bargains are felt balmoral skirts,
beginning as low as 81. so for plain gray
untrimmed skirts. The prettiest bal
morals of the season are of deep blue
or else crimson serge, cut very narrow,
and trimmed with three or four narrow
box-pleated rufles, scarcely more than
ruches, bound each side with braid, and
set on quite far apart. Woven merino
petticoats, heavy and warm, though not
very fine, are sold for $1.75 or 50.

NEUTRAL CoLoRs AND DECIDED COL
oRs.-The changes in dyes are really
wonderful. The silk or satin Of one
year it is literally impossible to find the
next. The hue is different; the luster
is different the surface Of the material
is different. How it can still be silk,
and yet be so totally unlike every other
piece of its kind, is a mystery. One
season, the fabrics are all in positive
colors, decided reds, unequivocal blues,
greens that are never doubtful, even by
gas-light puppies THAT are purple to
their utmost thread. Next season,
these have apparently passed out of the
manufacturers mino, and half-tints are
the only things to be had. Nothing can
be more unbecoming to most complex
ions than blues hat might as well be
green's grays that are hardly distin-
guishable from browns salmons so
closely allied to pink as to warrant their
mistaking for each other; or lavenders
wholly lost in a silvery shimmer-very
beautiful, but very trying withal. TIE

though few may relish the felicity of
wearing these colorless colors with i'm

of tortured vanity for the triumphs of
the few.

PREPARING FOR RAIDS.

During the sessions of the Senate
Committee on Transportation in
New York, plan for heating the
Erie canal was laid before it. The
plan proposed two boilers and 200
feet of steam pipe to the mile, and
the estimated cost was about two
millions to begin with, and from
six to nine hundred thousand dol
lars per annum to keep it up. 1t lie
seriously urged that the general
Government should undertake this
expenditure in order to keep the
canal open all winter!
Another enthusiastic person has
seriously proposed to turn the
warm waters of the Gulf stream mp
the Hudson and through the canal
to Buffalo, of course At the expense
of the general Government!
It is evident that the urgent
demand for cheaper transportation
will be taKen advantage of by nm
scrupulous men to urge upon Con-
gress appropriations for all manner
of eXtPavagant and visionary
schemes, and by localities to secure
appropriations for ali kinds of So
called public improvements that are
of no benefit or National impor-
lance. We see accounts every day,
in our exchanges, of schemes TO inn
prove and cheaper the facilities OF
transportation that arc az absurd q
they would be costly. Unscrupu
lous plunde rers are preparing fol
the boldest and most extravagsni
raids ever made upon the Treasury,
aud it is time to sound q note o
warning.

There are others who believe that
c Slvin was really murdered, and
that the man supposed to have been
Colvin was an impOSter, gotten up
for the purpose of clearing the
Boorns. Some color was given to
the superstition from the fact that
Jessie Boorn was afterwards ar
rested 10 Ohio for forgery, where
he made the statement that it wss
not Colvin, and that his brother
Stephen did actually murder him.
This statement was published, and
some, who were not personally &C.
quainted with the parties, believed
it; but no one who examined the
proofs of the identity of Colvin be
lieved it for q moment.
Jessie Boorn died many years
ago. Stephen removed to Ohio,
where very little was subsequently,

latives are still living in Manches-
ter, and the son of Colvin, who tes-
tilted on the trial, is now living in
Arlington, Vermont.

legislation that will bring the great
transportation lines to realize that
the people have some rights they
are bound to respect. They want
the vast power of corporations cur
tailed, and monopolies broken
down. They want practical, sober
legislation TO protect the interests
of commerce and trade and the
rights of producers and shippers.
But they do Eot ask or want the
general government to undertake
q wild and extravagant system of
improvements for the benefit of To-
calities or individuals. Congress
ought TO understand the situation,
and act prudently and soberly. The
great water routes of the continent
should engage its attention. Meas
ures that win relieve the people
from the extortions of great corpo-
rations should be adopted. But that
is all. No canal heating, or multi
plications of new railroads, or du.
plicating of canals, are wanted at
Government expense. The peo-
pie prefer rather to endure the
evils of the present than to rush
into extravagant expenditures GER
tain to entail far greater evils upon
them in the future.

The country wants cheaper trans
portaLion facilities, but 1t does not
want q new railroad or q canal built
through every township in the land.
Il does not want every muddy lit

locks and dams. IF does not want
heating apparatus put under the
whole of the Erie canal, so as to
keep It free from ice during the
winter season. Certain improve
ments of national Importance are
desired, but the general govern
ment cannot afford to undertake
jobs that would bankrupt the rich

no general value ifcompleted.
A reduction of taxation Is quite
as desirable as improved transpor-
tatlon facilities. Economy is Just
as earnestly demanded by the great

careful, therefore, about what 1t IN

THE SAN JUAN COUNTRY.

Yesterday we met with Mr.. III.
D. Chase, q resident of Pueblo,
who h spent the past season in the
San Juan mining region, and who
has extensive interests there. This
gentleman has just arrived from
the San Juan, and brings with him
some beautiful and valuable speci-
mens of silver ore, which go to
demonstrate the unparalleled rich
ness OF that section. Specimens
are shown from the Mother Com
stock lode, which is owned by this
gentleman and several others.
This shows fine galena ore, carving
gray copper, and running as high as
3,400 ounces. An assay made by
Prof. Schirmer gave 81 ,427 per ton.
This lead carries from eight to
thirteen feet of galena, and from
seven to nine feet on either side is
rock carrying gold and silver, with
from ten to three hundred ounces of
silver and S2S in gold per ton.
This lead shows for 8 distance of
five miles, aud in some places crops
out from ten to twelve feet above
the surface.
The Coquette is another silver
lo,le with a three-foot crevice, one
foot of which Is yellow sulphurets,
assaying over $3.50 silver. The
gslena ores have assayed as high as
5000 per ton, sampled ore. An
other lead, the st. Lawrence, has q
forty-foot vein, from twelve to if
teen feet of which is galena, with
eulphurets of copper resi-
of the distance. In places &
solid bed of mineral is exposed to
view one hundred feet wide. This
is more than six miles long. 1t will
average two hundred and flfty-siS
ounces of silver.
Mr.. Chase but adds his endorse
ment to all else that has been said
relative to the richness of the dis.
trict from which these specimens
are brought. Mountains of argen-
tiferous aud auriferous rock pre-
dominate, and rich leads are found
on every hand. The silver leads we
have spoken of are on the sam.
mountain as the Little Giant, one o.
the richest gold mines in the world
and the mountain Ia girdied with
leads. As yet there are no reduc
ton works for the silver ores, bu
furnaces will be taken in next sum
mer. This done the minner
will be able to work their mine
much more extensively than a
present.
| Next year there will be q grea
rush to these mines, and hundred
OF leads will be opened. Prospec
tors and miners are going in from
all directions, and the sections vii

CARLEToN.-Our readers will re-
member that three or four years sgo
some leaks were discovered in the
financial department of the Metho-
dist Book Concern. The superin-
garded as ar honest and upright
man, asked Tor an investiga-
ton. This investigation which
was conducted much after
the way such things are in Wash
ipgton. when the members ola pos
litical party generally Join to pro-
tect their friends, showed frauds
in the letting of contracts, and, at
least, one direct breach Of trust.
The party on whom the suspicion
conferred was the son of ReY. DIR.
Carleton. The friends and rela-
tives of both father and son seemed
bound TO stifle investigation,
aud succeeded in doing so. 4 par
~ was formed against the superin-
tendent, a division was created in
great denomination, and n blot
never TO be erased was left on the
record of the Book Concern. The
person who suffered most was the
superintendent. The one who sui.
fered least was young Carleton
He and his friends represented hin

position Of secretary OF the Unioi
