ried the starboard corner Of a mans mouth up
into his front hair, stepping back in dismay at
what he had done, he rammed the umbrella
down bystanders throat, and at the same time
he fastened the hook handle dhe probabilities

that he hooked the entire umbrela) into a col

A correspondent writing from Colorado
makes some practical suggestions regarding the
exaggerated accounts sont from the new Ter
ritories in relation TO the advantages offered
TO emigrants. The writer has spent six years
In Colorado, and takes very decided excep-
ton 20 many Of the statements put forth au-
thoritauyely by those who are seeking to build
up that country by attracting settlers from the
East. Our CORES pondent falls foul of the much
vaunted climate at the outset, and declines to

ing Colorado while consumptives who desire to
shorten their suferings will md the chilly at
mosphere Of the Colorado mountains just the
place TO end their pains. The SOIL he says, Ia
undoubtedly fertile, but wheat and oats are its
only products corn will not grow on II neither
can apples, peaches and similar fruits be raised
there. All Of the farming land has to be irri-
gated, and until some method l. discovered for
forcing water to run naturally up hill there are
prehensive system of irrigation in country
where the best lands are the high lands, besides
which the amount of water flowing from the
mountains, used in the most economical man.
ner, Is not sufficient To irrigate any considerable
amount Of territory. The pasturaae Is rich, but
when the country comes to be settled up and
there is stock enough roaming on II to keep ur
the grass, then II will have no advantage over
the prairies Of Illinois and Missouri. Finally our
correspondent expresses the belief that the
building up Of towns in Colorado by Eastern
capital for the purpose OF creating a fictitious
value for property lying In their vicinity Is de-
trmental to the best interests OF the Territory
as 1t leads to disappointment on the part Of set

The Comptroller should be elected by

and should be equally independent in his
action. As long ms the Mayor can appoint
the Comptroller he has the power Of

The CHoLERA.-The death Of Two Eng
Iish ladies' from cholera at Vienna has
created a more gloomy impression than
had been conveyed by the news OF the
spread Of the epidemic in the East and
West. The event brings to a cuImiuation
the misfortunes which have attended the
Imperial city all through this Great Exhi-
billon year. We may hope, for the sake
of Europe, as well as Of Vienna, that the
cases may not be the foreruhners of a yisi-
tation Of the terrible epidemic which has
for some years past ragged in Russia, and
has several times lately threatened the
West. There is reason for caution: but
as yet none for panic on the part Of in
tending visitors to the Vienna Exhibition.

cases are sporadic or epidemic The cho-

1t is never found in homes of the poor in
this country, and in the houses of the rich
it is often very badly cooked. The ordi-

Whereas On the other hand many fraudulent

various general appropriation bills and
Whereas, While it is but Just that all legitimate
