Rapid Development of Colorado Terri.
tory.

A striking record Of prosperous de-
velopment is presented by the Territory
of Colorado. The growth of that sec
ton has been truly marvellous. In 1870
the assessment of the Territory was $16,-
778,O05; in 1871 it was 1924, 112, O78; in
1872 it was $31 260, 257; In 1873 it was
1876, 582, 430; and in 1874 twas S44, $685.
800. The counties in which this increase
has been most marked are Arapahoe,
where the assessment was 81, FOG, 881 in
1870, and over SIS, 100000 in 1874;
Pueblo, whose assessmen has increased
nearly So, 900, 900 in four years; Ell Paso,
which shows nearly as great a record,
and so on through nearly dozen
others. These figures, however, do not
cover two thirds of the real value of
property in the Territory, and do not
include at all mines and mining proper
ty, which are neither assessed or taxed.
Even this rapid development does not
indicate the brilliant prospects of Col
orado. When its last arid and barren
plains are made productive and fertile
by realization of the irrigation schemes
now maturing, there will be not merely
an increase, but a doubling and quad
rupllng of values in very short time.
Indeed, the possibilities of the Terrific
ry' future greatness are SO stupendous
that they battle all anticipation.

Little Colo in the Black Hills.

The Des Monies Gowa) Register men
tions the arrival in that city of Mr..
Walter Strain of Buffalo, who had just
returned from an extended and perilous
trip through the Black Hill gold region,
and brings anything but favorable ae-
counts Of their richness i'm the precious
minerals. He left Fort Laramie with
party OF mountaineers and trappers early
last August, and has been constantly
travelling ever since. At the foot of the
Black Hills their horses were stamped
by the Indians, and all but three were
lost. With the remaining three they
worked their way through to the report
ed gold bearing region. Here they
made thorough prospect, at least as
thorough as they could make when they
were obliged to keep their rifles almost
continually in hand to guard against
Indians. They succeeded in finding
some pocket gold, but not in. quantities
sufficient to warrant the continuance of
the work. The mineral is not 80 plenti-
full along Strawberry Greek or the Sweet
water, and the difficulties OF mining are
immense. On the 10th of October. in
a fight with Indians, one of his COM
rades was shot and INSTANTLY killed.
Another was severely wounded. The
survivors placed the wounded man on q
horse. and by night marches made their
way to the railroad. Mr.. Strain en-
phatically declares that there is no
shadow of truth in the statement made
by the supposed discoverer of gold in
that country.

Sardon's New Drama, +" Hatred"

The production of Sardon's long
promised new play at the Gate Theater
Is the latest dramatic event In Paris.
The interest excited by the announce
ment Of the play, the celebrity enjoyed
by the author, and the fame of the
manager, M. Ofenbach, all combined
to make the performance both fash
ionable and literary event. The play
is called " La Haine'- Hatred"
it has for it's theme mournful story of
how hatred was conquered by love only
to be slain in it's turn by hatred. The
theatre was crammed to the farthest
tier, politicians, fnanciers, diplomat
lists, literary celebrities and fashionables
making up the brilliant assemblage.
The play gives abundant opportunity
for fine acting, the passions depicted
being instinct with that savage energy
which is most effective on the stage.
Nevertheless, splendid as was the per-
Torrance of all the principal art
lists, and vociferous as was the ap-
plause, the spectators final impression
on leaving the theatre is said to be that
the human interest has been OVERLAND
by the scenic accessories. The scenery,
costumes and mise en-scene generally
are more correct, magnificent and truly
artistic than any which have ever been
witnessed on any stage. Serious mis-
givings are entertained as to the fate of
the play IN other theatres in France or
abroad, inasmuch as it needs exception
al histrionic talent, and it necessitates
an outlay which not one manager In a
thousand would dream of encountering.
To say nothing of the months of first
preparation, the theatre had been
closed for seventeen nights to allow of
adequate rehearsal, and the labor was
so excessive that the majority of the
chief actors were Frustrated from the
effects of their exertions. Repeated ap-
plause greeted the name of M. Sardou
at the close of the performance.-Pa

RuMaIO Meat.

The arrivals yesterday, says the Leav-
enworth (Kan.) Commercial, of several
car loads of buffalo hams consigned to
one of our commission merchants, and
the fact that this remarkable article of
diet is now found on every hotel and
restaurant table in this city. calls for a
few remarks on one of the toughest sub
jects Imaginable. Few people compre-
bend the magnitude of the trade in this
rough, uninviting buffalo meat. It has
employed during the last year or two an
amount of labor and capital that would
seem incredible to person unacquaint-
ed with the facts. The meat market
opens in November, when the weather
becomes cool enough for it's transporta-
ton, and continues until the LIST of April.
During these five months as much as
1900. 900 pounds are shipped from the
stations on the Kansas Pacific to all
parts of the country. In the winter
months d buffalo steak can be obtained
about as easily and almost as cheaply
in the butchers stalls of the
leading northern cities as a beefsteak or
a muttonchop, and in Colorado and
Kansas it is common as antelope When
buffalo are killed for their meat, only
the hams and shoulders are brought in.
and shipments are usually made in that
shape, the hide being nearly always left
on to the end of the journey. The lead
ing markets for buffalo meat s'in the
rough" are ST. Louis, Chicago, and
Indianapolis, whence it is re-shipped, in
cleaner and more artistic condition, to
cities of the seaboard. Successful ship
ments have been made in shipping
direct to New York and Philadelphia in
refrigerator cars. The price in the cars
and eastern divisions of the Kansas and
Pacific ranges from $50 to $50 per ton
in bulk, and our local dealers retail at
four to six cents per pound.
The settlers adjacent to the stamp ng
ground of the buffalo procure enough
meat in a days hunting to last them
through the winter; and many a poor
homesteader in the valley of the Arkan-
sas has kept the wolf from his door on
this article of diet for months at time.
The flesh of the buffalo is not such as
the gods would delight to feed upon;
nor would poets find it peculiarly con
ductlve to cultivation of sweet and ten
der imagery. It is a prosaic sort of
meat at best, having doughty kind of
coarseness about it, and unless very
young and tender flavor that only a
very hungry man could call appetizing.
1t is very nutritious, however, and when
properly dried, the difference between
it and 'jerked" beef is not susceptible
to the ordinary palate. But dog
scents the dissimilarity at single sniff,
and wishes none of it. The Indians
rarely eat it in fresh state, but dry it
in small slices in the sun, and serve it
up with dried plums and pulverized
acorns. In some of the more luxurious
tribes a gravy, in which crushed grass
hoppers form a governing ingredient,
is added as a rarity on important festal
occasions

Funny scsns in a Theatre.

The San Francisco papers describe a
funny scene that was recently witnessed
in one of the theatres in that city, where
the famous prestidigitator, Hermann,
was performing some of his dexterous
tricks for the edifcation of the audience.
One of the most amusing ventures is the
demolition of "piug hat borrowed
from some good natured spectator, and
its subsequent wonderful restoration to
its owner. There was jolly looking old
man seated near the stage with q new
SILK hat, which be very readily loaned
explored the inside of the hat and
brought forth an egg, the jolly old
fellow laughed heartily, and when the
facetious magician again explored the
prolific interior of the bat aud brought
forth in some mysterious manner two
rabbits the jolly old fellow grew quite
hysterical, and his face became of iivid
hue. After little Hermann crushed the
hat into shapeless mass, and apologiZed
very humbly for the accident to the
owner whose joiiity had departed. and
who looked quite savage. The specta-
tors roared, but the man raised his cane
and dealt the astonished Hermann four
or five heavy blows abont the shoulders.
Hermann took the matter very coolly,
however, any took the battered tile, say
ing; 4" kll give you your hat, sir :" he then
began tearing it into strips. He rolled
the pieces into apackage, and approaching
the man remarked )" Here's your hat, sir !;
very much obliged, SIR" The man indig-
nantly refused the bundle, and Hermann
transferred it 10 the hands of an assistant,
whom he directed to hold it above his head.
He then discharged pistol at it, and hat
was perceived flying across the upper
part of the theatre. The bundle turned
out to contain an apopletic doll, and
another shot discharged toward the flies
oh ia 20 hat
hurt and shining, amid the roars of the
audience. Then the Professor leaned
over and clutched the portly man By the
coat, and there was an animated struggle,
which was enliveDed by encouraging re-
marks from the "gods" in the gallery,
manu." "Give him one for me-" etc. A
police officer connected with the theatre
interferred and led the unfortunate man
out.

A FLORIDA VoLcANo.-For many years
past there has been noticed column of
smoke or steam rising from an impenetra-
BILE swamp short distance from the Gulf
coast, in Waukulla County. Many at
tempts have been made to discover the
cause, but thus far no party has been sue
cessful in penetrating to the location, in
consequence of the character of the sur
roundings. A short time since Judge
White and party of gentlemen in Leon
and GadsdeR counties formed an expedi-
ton, to reach, if possible, the IN disco cred
wonder. They started from st. Marks in a
sailboat, and made their way eastward to
the mouth Of Pinhook Creek. One of the
party, in writing to the Sentinel, says ::
1.-THE coast here is very singular and sug-
gests the presence of volcanic action at
some time in the remote past. We look
upon it as a favorable Indication of the
volcano we were in search Of. The whole
coast is a mass of rocks. One, called the
'Gray Mare forms a natural bath house,
walled in on all sides. The bed
of the river is q mass of rock, and two
miles from it's mouth it's whole volume is
vomited up with immense force from the
yawning jaws of rifted rock. Here the
river proper Terminates and then COM
mences a series of sinks. which extend
for twenty miles ."-Semi Tropical

THE GREAT DESERT OF SAHARA.-A
nervous New Yorker writes the following
note of warning to the Herald:
Various publications have appeared in
different parts, particularly in the London
papers, setting forth a proposed plan of
flooding the Desert of Sahara, thereby
making it an ocean or inland sea, by open.
ing canal or channel from the Atlantic
Ocean The depth of the desert below the
level Of the oceen is stated as 500 to go
feet; the area in square miles is over
1000 COO; the average depth is not geuer-
ally known but suffice to say that if such
project should be started and not under
the complete control of those in charge of
the work the earth could, and no doubt
would, then be thrown off it's present bal
ance, to Il certain extent, which could be
ascertained with certainty if the actual
size aud depth could be known; for "if
every grain of sand removed alters the bal
ance of the world" what would this great
change dot 1t might produce the effect to
cause the "end of the world" which, &C
cording to the prophecy of Mother Ship
ton" will be IN 1851. T. f. S.

as ALEC lady resident in Cologne and a
! nephew OF the Rev. Mother, and lastly q
gentleman who understood the Walloon
dialect of the province to which they were
going. The platform was crowded with
nnns, school girls, ladies, and citizens, all
hardly able to repress their emotion when
the hour of parting came. AS the convent
must be vacated by tomorrow evening,
the remaining nnns will have to lea ve ia the
morning. They are only allowed to take
with them their wearing apparel and their
bed and table linen and bedding; even the
relics belonging to the convent were at first
ordered to be left behind. The building is
watched by day and night, lest anything
else should be taken out, and the
trunks belonging to the nuns and lady
boarders have to be narrowly inspected by
the police. At the same time it is but
fair to those in authority to state that they
are acting most courteOusly. The boarders
will lodge about tewn until the convent at

tire proceeding of the authorities may
prove to have been q mistake, as the prop
eIty bad already been purchased by q
Count Hoensbrock, q friend to the good

mediately FASTENED to Cologne and took
the necessary legal steps to save his prop
erty.

A story is told of German soldier in
Lorraine, which serves to illustrate the
impossibility of roofing out French sym.
Pathies in that province. The soldier
was suffering from a cold in the head,
and blew his nose in way very common
with German soldiers, but not quite in
accordance with civilized manners. A
woman in the crowd exclaimed, "Whatl
with all our five milliards, they have not
got pocket hsndkerchiefs yet !" A police
agent heard her, and she was marched
of to the lookup, where she was fined
Eve thalers. The crowd that followed
her at once got up a subscription, and,
in addition to paying the fine, gave her
another five thalers, "for the pleasure she
had caused them"

THE CRUCIFIXIoN GROUP AT OBERAM
MERGAU.-A letter from ODE ammergau,
dated Both September, states that the last
piece for the group, a block weighing 300
centners, on which the royal arms are in
scribed, has safely arrived there, and has
been placed on the hill. The transport OF
the entire group is conse quentty completed.
An accident happened to the figure of ST.
John, which was occasioned through the
over haste of Herr Hauser. The statue of
the Blessed Virgin, however, escaped all
injury. The new road which has been
made by the Commune is in excellent con
dition. The pedestal on which the group
is to be reared is already quite completed.
Above it is raised the great scaffolding, 65
feet high, and constructed of the strongest
timbers, serving to show off the figures to
great advantage. Great hopes are enter
tanned that everything will be finished by
the 18th of October, for which day the
solemn unwilling of the group was fixed. 1t
would be impossible to exaggerate the de-
light of all the people of the Valley, and
their gratitude to the King for his magnifi-
cent gift. On Saturday, 18th Septemb Der,
the Queen Dowager of Saxony, with nu
merous suite, arrived here, in order to be
present next day at the representation of

Sunday the Hereditary Princess Helena of
Thurn aud Taxis, with her family and
suite, assisted at the performance.
