A Colorado Sermon.

"Boys. you'll find this life just like a
game of seven up. You want to save your
tens and look out for the game, an never
beg when you hold good hand. Also,
recollect in the long run low counts as
much as high if it is only trump. The
devil has stocked the cards, but jist play
em honest, and when it comes your deal yer
boun' to git winnin' hand every time. and
old split-hoof will jist have to Jump the
game and look for q softer snap. Also. if
you happen to turn a jack, call it lucky,
but don't forget to remember that turnin'
jack is uncertain business, and IL never do
to bet on."-Dencer Mirror

the quarter was tust twenty five cents more

Death OF n Famous Inventor,

A special dispatch from New York to the
Chicago Times, dated November 10, says:
Isaac p. Tice, whose death in this city is
announced, was born in New Hampshire
about forty-two years ago. While very
young he moved to the West, and remained
there for many years. He became q car
penter, and early evinced an inventive
genius While working at his trade he was
diligent reader, not only of mechanical
and mathematical books, but also of meta
physical works. Returning to Baltimore
and afterward to New York when about
twenty-one years of age, in 1861, he OBJ
tanned patent for a Woodworking or
moulding machine. From that time up to q
very recent period his fertility as an inven-
tor has been remarkable Soon after the
war broke out, when cotton fabrics be-
came expensive through the scarcity of the
raw material, Tce, in 1864 invented ma
chine for cutting paper to be used in the
manufacture of Irvine, after fashion long
known to the Japanese, to be used - Q sub
stitute for cotton twlne. At some time dur
ing the rebellion he invented and patented
several pro jectiles for ritied cannon, but it
is not known that they were employed by
the government. His patented inventions
altogether numbered about sixty. He was
we'll known to the patent ottice agents of
this city, by whom the news Of his death is
received with regret. He was . man Of
considerable cultivation, genial. and enter
tanning. He had lived in Westchester
county for about twelve years.

About one-half the crop has been picked,

Der, some of them not before the first of
January. Thirteen counties report an av-
erage increase Of seventeen per cent over
last years ield, three counties report the
yield the same as last year, two counties a
decrease, viz: jasper twenty per cent
and ltawambo twenty-five per cent. The
recent political canvass and sickness have
retarded the harvesting of the crop to some
extent. The damage by rust has not been
material in this State.

Tactics of the 81. Louis Whisky Ring.
special dispatch from Washington, No

vember 9, to the New York Times, says:
Jouett, whose plea of guilty was noticed
last night. was the last of The indicted dis
tillers at st. Louis, all the others having en-
tered similar pleas before him. The only
prominent persons awaiting trial are Nc
kee, Macdonald and Avery. The course of
these people in confessing their acts has
surprised the country, and people naturally
inquire what motives inspired such course.
1t has been surmised that some understa and
ing or agreement had been reached by
which the sentence of the court would be
lightened. This is not go.
The government has not, through any of
Its agents, made any promises or held out
any Inducements to secure the confessions
On the contrary, the criminals have been
assured that IN every insta nee the dis
trict attorney would ask the court to in-
pose the severest penalty under the law.
1t is quite possible, however that the Judge
will be influenced in some degree by the
pleas OF the indicted. 1t is probable that
the collapse of the ring is traceable to a
quarrel about attorneys fees, and one
member having confessed, others feared
they would lose some advantage by stand
ing trial. At any rate, there is no conces-
sion, open or secret TO which the govern
ment officers are in any way pledged.
During the term of court Just closed at
Abingdon, Virginia, eighteen persons were
convicted and sentenced for illicit distilla-
ton. The sentences imposed vary from six
months to two years imprisonment, and
fines from 500 to $500. In the same district
forty eight other persons have been indicted
for illicit distillation, and will be tried at
the next term.

The sanitary Needs of New Orleans.

The following extract, treating of health
matters in Louisiana, is from the annual
report of the secretary of the National Med
ical Association. This body met at Balti-
more, last week, and has just adjourned. 1t
contains, among it's members. the highest
medical talent in the country, and it's opin-
ions have great weight. Louisiana was
represented in the convention by DR.. C. B.
White, president of the Board of Health:
The statute under which the Board of
Health OF New Orleans exists also as the
Board of Health of the State of Louisiana
cOnfers only the shadow of authority to do
or permit any effective sanitary service by
the board. The little which is authorized
relates to quarantine and certain proceed
ings against pestilential diseases. The pub
lie importance of a judiciously administered
system ofexternal sanitary police is greater
for the port of New Orleans and for the
Mississippi and its connecting waters with
in the State of Louisiana than the quaran-
tine system of any other district in the
world; and, on that account, if for no other.
State board of health would be capable of
comforting immense benefits upon the State,
making its beneficial influence felt in all the
great valley of the Mississippi and it's
atfiuents for more than a thousand miles
beyond New Orleans.

The Pennsylvania Election.

A Philadelphia dispatch TO the New York
Graphic, of the ninth, contains the fol
lowing:
In the new courthouse, before Judges
Ludlow, Allison and Mitchell, the work of
officially counting the vote cast in this city
on Tuesday last for State and county Off
GERS wa. completed this afternoon. Every
wards returns were called off by clerks in
the presence of the judges and the total
amounts carefully added afterward, occu-
plying five days pretty hard labor for those
concerned. The following accurate table
compiled from the official returns will be
found interesting, particularly as it gives
not only the Republican and Democratic
vote, but also that of the Temperance or
Prohibition party, which, although small in
comparison with the others, was far heavier
than ever before:
