THE BEAUTY OF THE CITY.

Without disparagins Saiina or any OF
our Kansas cities, must say that Don
yer, take it all in all, considering its
stage OF progress, is the most beautiful!
city that l have over seen. Its streets
and avenues arc wide and handsome,
meyer dusty and never muddy. The
whole city stands on firm and gravel
ly foundation. Almost every street has
channels of flowing water on each side
lined with various kinds Of shade trees.
Magnificent mansions ard public build
ings are to be seen everywhere. The
grounds of some of the private rcsiien-
ces, are superb in lovclincss-adorned
with every variety of shrub AMI arwcr.
In many Of the yards, also. you see fonn-
forth continually their
Jets of cooling water.

we suspect, arc not obsolete even in Sa-

TIE GROWTH OF DENVER.

The first thing, that strikcs-in COM
pairing my present Impressions, with
those received on former visits-is the
rapid and steady growth of the CITY,
with a corresponding expansion .. tasi-
ness. In the tail of 1870 at NJ, first WIS.,
it, tho census OF the city had neen taken,
and did not reach the sum Of 5000 inha-
bitants. 1t now has about 2O,000:-
that is, tho population of to-day is four
times larger than it was four years ago.
This, OF itself, is significant Of pres sent
and future progress.

ITS COMMERCE iyD BUSINESS.

There has not only been this rapid i'll
crease of population, but also in the
same ratio, increase of business and
commercial operations. In 1870 Den
vcr With about 1900 was doing the bu-
Stress of city of 10000. To-day it is
doing the business of a city Of 40, 900.
There is probably ten times the amount
of capital invested in tho different bust
ness departments to day to what there
was in 20. At the same time / think
it is perhaps true, that business is some

Roberts of Danbury.

When you are carrying several artl-
ces and one of them slips, it is best
not to try to recover it. An Essex
street man named Roberts was helping
his wife prepare the dinner table on
Sunday, as one of the deacons was to
dine With them. Roberts took plate
of steak in one hand and tho coffec-pot
in the other, and had dish of peas on
the arm with the steak. The wind
blew the dining-room door partly to as
he approached 1t, and putting out his
foot to push it back, the arm with the
peas moved ont of plumb, and the dish
commenced to slide. A cold streak
flew up Roberts spine, and his hair be-
gan to raise, and he felt sudden sick
ness at the stomach, but he lodged
ahead to save the peas, partly caught
them, made u wrong move, lost them
again, jabbed at them with the coffee
pot, upset the steak dish, and in spring
ing back to avoid the gravy stepped on
the cat that belonged to the family
down stairs, and came to the floor in a
heap, with the steak and peas and
terribly mad cat under him, and an
overhowing pot Of scalding coffee on top
of him. Then he bounded up, and
stamped on the steak dish, and picked
up the other dish and threw it out OF
the window, and finished that perform
ance in time to hurl the coflee-pot and
the remaining contents after the cat,
which was making the very best time
down the front stairway. The deacon
didn't stay to dinner. Roberts retired
to the bedroom with.a bottle of sweet
oil and roll of cotton batting, and
Mrs. Roberts went over to Eer moth
er's to cry.-DanbuTy Ne,Os.

BY BRET IAREE.

In 1868, Fiddletown considered her q
very pretty woman. She had a quantity
Of light chestnut hair, n good figure, a
dazzling complexion, and II certain
languid grace which passed easily for
gentlewomanliness. She always dressed
becomingly, and in what Fiddletown
accepted as the latest fashion. She had
only two blemishes one of her velvety
ewes, when examined closely. had II
slight cast, and her left cheek bore Il
small scar left by a single drop OF
vitriol happily the only drop OF an en-
tire phial thrown upon her by one OF
her own jealous sex that reached the
pretty face it was intended to mar. But
when the observer had studied the eyes
sufficiently to notice this defect he was
generally incapacitated for criticism, and
even the scar on her cheek was thought
by some to add piquancy to her smile.
The youthful editor of the Fiddletown
Avalanche had said privately that 1T was

Starbottle was instantly reminded OF
the beautifying patches OF the days OF
Queen Anne, but more particularly, sir,
of the blankest beautiful woman, that,

eyes upon. A creole woman, sir, in
New Orleans. And this woman had a
scar, line extending, blank me, from
her eye to her blank chin. And this
woman, sir, thrilled you, sir, maddened

soul to perdition with her blank fascina

THE CHILDREN's CHURCH.
FROM THE GERMAN OF PAUL oEnoK.l

tFRoM THE GERMAN OF PAUL GERoK.l
The bells Of the churches are ringing
Papa and mama have both gone
And three little children ait singing
Together this still Sunday morn.
While the bells toll away in the steeple,
Though too small to sit still in a pew,
These busy religious small people
Determined to have their church too.
SO, as free ds the birds or tho breezes
by which their fair ringlcts are famed
Each rogue sings away as he pleasos,
With book upside down in his hand.
Their hymn has no sense in its letter.
Their music no rhythm nor tune;
Our worship, perhaps, may be better,
But theirs reaches God quite as soon.
Their angels stand close to the Father;
Ills heaven IL made bright by these flowers
And the dear God above us would rather
Hear praise from their lips than from our'
Sing on, little children, your voices
Fill the air with contentmcnt and love;
All nature around you reioices,
And the birds warble sweetly above.
Sing on, for the proudost orations,
Phe liturgies sacred and long.
The anthems and worship Of nations,
Are poor to your innocent song.
Sing on, our devotion is colder,
Though wisely our prayers may be planned
For often we, too, who are older,
Hold our book the wrong way in our hand
Sing on, our harmonic inventions
We study with labor and pain;
Yet often our angry contentious
Take the harmony out of our strain.
Sing on, all our struggle aud battle,
Our err, when most deep and sincere
What are they? A child's simple prattle
breath in the Infinite ear.

Indeed, most of the male population

with her. OF this number about one
half believed that their love was re-
turned, with the exception, possibly, OF
her own husband. He alone had been
known to express skepticism.
The name of the gentleman who en-
ioycd this infelicitous distinction was
Trcthorick. He had been divorced
from an excellent wife to marry
this Fiddlctown enchantress. She also
had been divorced, but it was limited

in that legal formality had made it per-

FOREIGN LNTELLIGENCE.

The Journal dc Paris says the project of
placing prince Of the house Of Hohenzolcrn
upon the throne of Spain has not been aban-
doned. A number OF discontented Carlist
leaders and former liberal Unionists are said
to favor the Hohenzolern candidacy. The
Journal says Santa Cruz was proclaimed Il
rebel by Don Carlos for being concerned in
this intrigue.
As a last expedient for sitting the Canada
Pacific railway scandal, the Dominion govern
ment has determined to prorogue the sitting
parliament Immediately upon the presentation
of the report of the investigating committee
This course, tho Toronto Globe remarks, Will
have no other effect than to.intensify the de-
termination OF the people to get at the bottom
of the foul business and uncover the guilty
parties, no matter what their station may be,
nor how long they have eluded pursuits.
The French assembly has voted to take
recess from July 81 to Nov. 8. The French
government has instructed the projects OF the
occupied departments to interdict public re-
joicings OH the occasion of tho evacuation OF
the territory by the German troops. The
French council of state has voted the abroga-
tion of the tax on raw material, and the sup
preston of the tax on goodscarried OH foreign
vessels.
The Carlsts entertain strong hopes OF
recognition Of their belligerent rights by
France as soon as they gain possession OF
regularly fortified city wherein to establish
the seat Of government. The provinces Of
Andalusia, Murcia, Valencia and Caledonia
have proclaimed themselves independent Can
tons in anticipation Of the adoption of the new

Madrid has again been reorganized, to make 1t

In the French assembly Jules Fayre at
tackled the policy of tho government. He
wanted to know why the government, which
punished with severity the insultcrs of the
assembly, permitted journals to insult ex-
President Theirs with impunity. He also ex-
posed and denounced the alliance between the
monarchists and Bonapartists. After scene
Of great disorder, a vote Of confidence in the
government was adopted by 400 yeas to 270
noes. This large majority on the eve of re-
esss, is regarded as significant.

THE DIFFIcULTY OF EcoNOMIzINd.-
The real objection of living simply and
cheaply is that one cannot afford it. A
few geniuses can strike out new plans
of life. but most men will find that
more trouble is saved by falling in with
the stream than by struggling against 1t.
The man who tries to divide his ale
gience. to remain in the world without
paving the worlds price for it, will gen.
orally have little reward beyond the tri-
fling satisfaction of a good conscience.
In one sense it may almost be said that
saving comes easier to the poor man
than to his richer neighbor. The CHAINS
with which we are bound are riveted
upon us with terrible strength. Our
bondage cannot be broken by a single
good resolution, or q mere change OF
personal habits. Our families, our re-
latives, and our acquaintances, combine
to force us into the regular groove.

Mollie Waterman and Her Dog.
LNcw Orlcans pIcaynne.l

| NtW orleans IlNhA Nl''l n
In the private album of the chief of
police, where all the celebrated w0mens'
pictures, or "mugs of the Molls," at
tachcd to the rogue's gallery are kept,
there are many striking faces, some
fair, beautiful and proud, others soft
and delicate, others pinched and sharp,
while again are those intellectual and
with thestamp ofrehnement and wealth.
Mollie Waterman's picture is none OF
these. 1t is that of plain, cold
woman, just like that of statue would
be- with her black hair folded back and
bound around her head, while her dress
of rich black is caught by the throat
with Il heavy clasp.
BY her side, with its head in her lap
and its intelligent eyes looking eagerly
into her face, is a black and tan terrier
dog of medium size and with n plain
collar.
A singular picture to see in q gallery
of thieves, yet probably the most sln9u-
lar pair found in the long lines of faces.
Mollie Waterman never stole herself.
She trained her dog Going into store
she selected various costly laces, jew
eIry, etc, and looking at them placed
them back with particular motion OF
her hand, shortly going out OF the
store. The dog remained, and siezing
the article when the showman's back
was turned, made with it to her room,
where it was received by Mollie and
the dog rewarded.
For years she piled this with success,
until one day the dog was caught there
Unhecding of herself she surrendered
imploring for the life Of her favorite.
The pictures of the two were, how
ever. taken together, and then the dog
was killed, the body being inhumanly
thrown into the cell where the woman
lay.
So the police left them but, when
they returned with the morning, she
was found dead, poisoned by her own
hand, lying with her steadfast friend.
There was a rude inquest, OF course,
coroner and joking crowd; but
when the two were tumbled into their
old box, ont into the potters' field, there
were closed out forever two who might
be an example to many loving friends.
