the early settlers Of Denver. In 1858 MIR.
A. ]. Williams-now one of the leading
citizens of Denver-started from Des
Moines, Iowa. with three wagons, each
drawn by three yoke of cattle, and loaded
with Indian and settlers goods. His des
tination was the base of Pixies Peak
where gold had just been discovered.
Williams located first at Fort Lupton,
thirty miles east of Denver, but hearing
that settlement was being made at the
mouth of Cherry Greek he moved his
teams and goods to that point where he
Joined the Russell brothers and General
Larimer in laying out a town, and erected
the first store in Auroria. now West Den
yer. He with General Larimer and few
others, soon afterward crossed Cherry
Greek and surveyed and laid out new
town, which they named after the then
Governor of Kansas, General Denver.
Having entered into mercantile pursuits,
Mr.. Williams found himself at loss what
20 do with his eighteen head of cattle.
He had no hay, and grain rH~S e-.e-0 ti.o
anootiou, none being uearer than the sta
ton, six hundred miles distant. They
were too poor for beef, while game of all
kinds could be had for the shooting.
Williams finally resolved to abandon his
cattle to their fate. He accordingly drove
them out upon an island in the center of
the Platte, near Fort Lupton, and left
them to live or die upon the dry grass
which then covered the Platte Valley.
Early in the spring Mr.. Williams had oc-
casion to visit old Fort Lupton, and curl
osity led him to 90 in search of his cattle
to see what had become of them during
the long, cold winter months. What was
his surprise on landing on the island to
find them not as he expected, all dead or
mere shadows, but fat and as sleek as if
fed upon grain all winter. He wondered
much at his discovery, and at once caught
up his teams and drove them to Denver,
where he used them every day during the
spring and summer hauling lumber from
his mill in the mountains Thus was the
first discovery made of tho fattening pro-
perties of the dried grass of Colorado,
which covers the plains and hills nine
months out of twelve"

TYRoLEsE DAIRIEs.-Personal expert
ence, alter two summers in the Tyrol, had
made us reflect upon the butter and cheese
question. Whether regarded as a luxury
or a necessity, the Swiss Gruyere and En-
menthal cheese, and the fresh, dainty pats
of butter, made the contrast striking in the
Tyrol. The milk and cream were rich
and delicious, but became simply loathsome
when turned into butter or cheese. We
wondered how and why it was that we
could never obtain perfectly palatabie
butter, until we discovered the universal
practice Of churning it, without salt, into
huge obloug balls, large as the nave of a
wheel. which naturally soon turn rancid.
1t does not, on this account lose its value
to the natives, who use very little butter,
melting it down into clarified dripping
called Schmaiz, for their endless fryings
and frizzlings. This badly-made butter is,
however, often adorned with the embems
of the Passion, such as the cross, ladder,
crown of thorns. and nails 1t was SO at
the Hofbauer's Ohm. 1t is considered to
enhance the value of the butter Kugl or
ball. especially when given to the priest
in payment for masses said for dead rela-
tions. The Ursuline Sisters were paid for
Models education in bu ter.
And the native cheese ,-meager cheese
as it is justly called-a poor, insipid not
overclean curd cheese. The curds are
often merely squeezed in a cloth. then turn
ed out and placed upon an upper shelf to
dry, where they look like the back portions
of gigantic skulls, until damp aud mould
somewhat destroy the resemblance. The
kind called fat cheese is, however, made
with greater care, and dried in bands of
pine bark in the A pine kitchen. The dis
tasteful butter and cheese, the sole result
of gallons of rich milk and cream, and
many long summer week upon the lofty
Alp becomes still more distasteful when the
milk and cream are kept in the one hot
over-crowded sleeping room, or in dairy
where the goatherd sleeps amongst the
milk-dishes. The mountain dwellings are
dark and badly constructed, and if furnish
ed with a proper dairy, the prejudiced
housewife often refuses to use it, believing
that cream will not set unless the milk is
warm /; thus, much becomes sour, and is
either thrown away or turned into still
more inferior cheese. Or she purposely
lets the cream become rancid before she
churns, that the children may nos take too
great fancy to the Schmalz, and thus it
may last longer-Froni "a Our Home an

A VALUABLE LOAD OF BRIcKs.-An
important shipment of silver bars was
made by the Swansea silver smelling and
refining company recently, from the bank
ing office OF Adam Smith u Son, Chicago.
The shipment consisted of one hundred
and forty-nine silver bricks, which con-
tanned forty-seven thousand three hundred
and forty-two ounces of pure silver and five
thousand ounces of gold, and was valued
at $4,000. The metal was the product
of seven days smelling at the works,
which are now turning out $4,000 worth
of gold and silver every day. A shipment
equaling in value is made each Saturday
to the United States assay Office in New
York, where the bricks are again smelted.
and whatever gold they contain extracted.
The bricks are sent through in the care of
the American Express Company, and are
not encased or protected in any way. In
looking at them one would be easily de-
ceived as to their weight and value. The
one hundred and forty-nine bricks shipped
made load which two large horses haul
ed with difficulty.

The Microscope as a Detective.

Some time ago, being in company with
a medical man, we fell into conversation on
the uses of microscope. in the management
of which he was an adept. Now, said he,
I will tell you a story of what happened to
myselt-one which [ think illustrates the
Importance of this instrument to society,
although l was put in a very unpleasant
position, owing to my acquaintance with
it. l have, as you all know, given a great
deal of attention to comparative anatomy,
especially to the structure Of the hair as il
appears under the microscope. To the
unassisted eyes, indeed, all hair appears
very much alike, except as it is long OF
short. dark or fair, straight or curly
coarse or fine. Under the microscope
however. the case is very different; the
white mans round, the negro's oval, the
mouse's apparently joiuted, the bats Jagged
