A meeting of the incorporator5 of
the Longmont, Fort Collins & Chey-
enne Railroad Company was held
this week, and it was determined to
push ahead the interests Of the COM
Pany as rapidly as possible. Five
thousand dollars of the stock Of the
company was subscribed at once, each
member Of the board subscribing
literally. 1t was determined to send
agents to Cheyenne. Big Thompson,
LOngmOnt, Boulder, Denver and
other points, to secure additional sub
scriptiOns to the stock of the COM
pany. After the faith Of the capilal-
lists is thus declared in the success Of
the road, it is proposed to ask the
people Of Larimer county to take
stock of the company to the amount
of one hundred thousand dollars, at
an election to be held according to
law. 1t is believed that if the people
of the county will authorize the
county commissioners to take this
amount OF stock in the road, the cars
will be running into Fort Collins
before next autumD.-Furt Collins

The first Glass of Wine in a friends
house and what came of it.

Sergeant will you permit me to see
what drunken women you have arrested
tonight" asked neatly dressed, stout,
intelligent looking young girl of Ser
gcant Meakin, Of the Mulberry street po-
lice. The request, although contrary to
police rules, was granted, and the young
woman went down into the cells. Com
ing back in few minutes she showed
the names Of two prisoners whom she
said she would assist in their trouble.
Sergeant, as you seem astonished at
my VISIT said Anna Kennedy, Il will tell
you lis purpose. Three weeks agoI took
the first glass OF wine ever took in my
life, at friends house. While going
home felt its effects and came to this
station, told you Of my mishap, and you
allowed me to sit in your back room.
While there I saw miserable women
dragged in. Since then l have gone
night after night to the different stations
in this city in the hopes of being able to
reclaim or assist poor women. You will
find my name in your own blotter. I
have determined to devote my life to A.
sist in reforming poor women"
There was not dry eye IN the police
station as Anna Kennedy, bowing to her
hearers, quietly passed out.-New York
Sun.

Baby Bellies Mission.

"Poor little baby Belief" That was
what everybody said when they looked
into her great brown eyes so full of suf-
fering patience, and the slender misshap-
Ell figure that sat so still in the tiny wheel
chair Poor little baby Belle! She had
lived through five summers Of roses, and
though the Lilliputian feet had never
learned to walk, ard Tic fragile hands
were translucent like Scvres china, she
sang as the sunshine played over her on
the latticed porch, or in the bay window,
and was happy all the day long. No cloud
seemed ever to darkcn the bright light Of
her lustrous eyes, and the notes of her
bird-lil1c voice were as sweet as those Of
tie meadow lark
One day tall sad lady, clad in gar-
mcnts Of deepest mourning, visited baby
Bellies mamma, and as she looked at the
cheerful little soul so happy with the toys
on the miniature table before her, yet dcs-
tined never to walk the beautiful earth,
always to sit helpless in the quiet corner,
she silently shook her head, and said to
baby Bellies mammal: "Why arc such
spared, and my husband, so full of life,
and labor, and usefulness taken away"
'Baby Belle has her mission" replied
the mother, "and perhaps, in her quiet
way, does as much good as many strong
man. What patience she teaches us, what
gen ntlcness! The boys are sometimes
rude to each other, but they are always
kind and tender to baby Belle. In their
long rambles in the fields and woods, they
never forget her; some sweet wild flower,
the stray feathers of some bright-tinted
birds, or a gayly-hued butterfly, or a bit
Of green moss, they bring back to Belle.
When she was little thing, and before
we knew she would be an invalid all her
life, she always cried when the boys took
her, they handled her so roughly. But
they have learned to lift her so carefully
that she loves now to sit in their laps, and
have them tell her stories, or to be carried
bits and squirrels, and to feed them from
her own tiny hands.
"Baby Belle cannot bear word of an
ger, or impotence, or roughness she can
only grievc over unkindncss. Knowing
this, and careful never to wound her ten
der little heart, we are all more gentle and
considcrate toward each other than we
should be were Belle strong and rugged
as the other children are. So she has be-
come our perpetual peacemakcr, and the
maker of sunshine as we'll, for we cannot
look into her face, pale with suffering,
yet bright with patient cheerfulness, and
wear clouds upon our own.
"You cannot wish her to live" said a
friend to me the other day. Not for her
sake would I have her live, though the
world is so beautiful, but how could we
spare her? Who would teach US as she
does, lessons of smiling recognition, OF

Ba1lOoninx In 1875.

Although Mr. Donaldson, the aeronaut,
did not succeed in reaching Europe last
year by the easterly current, his limited
success has induced Mr.. Barnum to make
further engagement with him for the
summer months in 1875. A few dsys
ago an agreement was entered into by
which Mr.. Donaldson agrees to devote
his entire service to the furtherance Of
acronautic travelling during the next
eight months, for which he is to receive
the sum of $4,000, Mr.. Barnum further
agreeing to pay all expenses attending
the experiment. During the last sum-
mer Donaldson made large man. Der Of
successful ascensions, during which hun
drcds of careful observations were made.
none of the results of which have as yet
been made public. 1t is considered
proved, first >that it is possible to land
balloon successfully at any point named,
and to reascend without material loss of
ascending power; and, second, that ax-
ed law governs the air currents, a knowl-
edge of which will enable the voyager
to leave any spot, and return to the same
at pleasure. During the past Winter Mr..
Donaldson has been engaged in arrang-
ing compactly the results of his work
during his many years experience, and
proposes therein a more complete aerial
chart than was ever before compiled.
Extensive preparations have been made
for carrying on a successful summer
campaign during the coming months, to
absolutely determine the existence of an
eastcrly current. If these experiments
continue 70 development Mr.. Donaldson's
theory, there is little doubt that by Octo.
Der cftIlis year he and a selected com.
pany will have q try at the Atlantic. He
| is now at work upon six balloons of va
rious sizes, capable Of carrying from ono
to twelve people. These ascensions will
constantly be made in all weathe1s and
ct every available point The largest
balloon will hold 10000 cubic feet of gas,
being about the size Of the "Graphic No.
g." These balloons will be supplied
with every convenience for comfort and
safety, many Of the appliances being the
result of experiments made during the
winter at the Hippodrome. A number
Of perfected instruments are in process Of
manufacture, to be used during the sum-
mcr voyages in obtaining data to corro-
bovatc and increase the information al
ready obtained. Among these are the
following: An improved aneroid baro-
meter, for measuring attitudes, and
height, and thickness Of clouds; wet
and dry bulbs and liydrode;lI, for deter
mining the amountpf moisture in the a.
mosphcrc; an improved spectroscope,
vessels for bottling atnospheres at vari-
Gus heights FOR .nalyzation, a delicately
index1d clcctroscopc bags ofan improved
form for carrying oxygen and nitrogen
gases for experiments, including inhal-
ing, the list including anumbcr Of new
patcrts. The first ascension will take
place IS soon as the alr-ships are com.
picted.

Uncle Billy's Objections to Civil
Rights.

Rights.
interviewed Uncle Billy, a good old
colored friend Of mine, the other day, on
the question of civil rights
"Don't want muffin mo',' said Uncle
Billy. Got too much already for dis mig
gah."
"IIow is that, Uncle Billy? Is it not a
good thing'to be equal before the law?"
Now, Marse Boss" grunted Billy
plaintivc!y, "dar is just whar the misery
comes in. We're eka! bcfo' de law, and
dar you hitour weak pint. Bcfo' dc waw,
ef niggah stole chicken an pig, yer jerk
ed him up, guv him thirty.nine lashes,
and let him go. But just let a culled
pusson try it now. Yer hauls him fore
court, and sens him to. de pcnitcntiary,
jist like he was one ofeyer poor white
trash Dat's what its to be ekal fore de
laW''
I suggested to Uncle Billy that this
might be obyiated by being little more
honest.
"Marsc boss" interrupted Billy, 1--WE
can't run agin natur'. It's nat'rul for mig
gah to steal pig and chicken fryin' size.
Yey knows it is, an faint no use tryin'
to stop us. Now, we un's are willin' to
let YOU un's alone, and you all jist let us
alone on dis pint. We're powerful weak
on dis pint, Marsc Boss.''
Just here prcvcrse aud dlsioyal spirit
tempted me to hint to uncle Billy that the
colored people were indebted to their Re-
publican friends for this change in their
status.
"Wcll, den, Marse Boss" said he, "all
l'sc got to say is de law hes got to he
changed. Nus iiab a law for de black
man an law for de white man."
Strange IS it may seem, some Of our
best citizens echo Uncle Billy's senti-
mcnt They are inclined to view the ne
gro's minor transgrcssioHs in a lcnient
| light, and I know that some Of our Dem
ocratic Judges impose lighter penalties
they do in cases where the guilty parties
arc white.
Before Uncle Billy left asked him how
he would like to sit down at the table
with white folks in the hotels"
"Great Goddlcmi=hty!' exclaimed the
good old man. "Iaiiow you'sc trying to
make fun O dis chile. Why, you knows
yourself dat ro cuilud russon cbber lets
white man sec 'cm cat ef day can help
it."
This is strictly true The ordinary
Southern negro will not cat in the pres
encc of a White spectator.
"Wcll, Uncle Billy" said, lit is very
evident that you don't want any civi
rights"
Not anything mo-, I tank you," repli
cd Billy. Nearly done ruined now
