CATTLE IN COLoRADO.-The rapid
growth of the live stock business in
Colorado may be understood from
the following statement, made by J.
NJ. Wilson, President of the COlOra-
do Cattle Growers Association, at
their sixth Annual Meeting, recent
" held at Denver: During the
past year, large herds Of cattle have
been driven into the country from
Texas and elsewhere-nOt less than
two hundred thousand having been
driven from Texas alone. The great
country lying east of US, WHICH but
two years ago was grazed by moth
ING but buffalo, is now occupied by
thousands of head of cattle. Beaver
creek, the South Platte, Republican
and all their tributaries, which were
looked upon as being out of the
world and only fit for Indians and
wild animals, are now all occupied
by herds Of cattle. This year the
herds of Colorado and Kansas Will
mingle, and the Great American
Desert, which has intervened be-
twixt us and the States, will be
bridged over by the cattle men, and
q continual line of settlement Will
exist from here to the Mississippi.
increase in number and size of
herds has forced us to occupy and
Craze these lands. - American Agri-
culturist for March.

The session of the Presbyterian
General Assembly opens at Chicago,
May II.

The New York Tribune puts the
Oregon Democratic muddle into the
compass of q nutshell, thus:
"Patrick persuaded Pelton into
the belief that he represented Kelly,
Grover, and Democratic Oregon at
large; Kelly, Grover and the rest deny
that he did. Pelton persuaded Pat
rick into the belief that he represent
ed the Democratic National Commit
tee, his uncle, and his uncle's bank &C
count Mr.. Hewitt and Mr.. Tilden
deny that he did. No third party had
any knowledge of this mutual swim
die, and yet these two enterprising
gentlemen, separated by a continent
and only united by a pocket dictiOn-
ary, deluded each other into cipher
ing up an Electoral College, set
everybody concerned at vindication
and testimony and letter writing, fur
nished the High Commission with a
novel plan for celebrating Washing
toms birthday, and incidentally dis
covered Hoadley. Truth is stranger
than fiction.

Cincinnati Gazette:-"As this is
the era of reconciliation, General
Stewart L. Woodford, of New York,
has consented to address the literary
societies of Oxford University OF
Mississippi, of which he has been
elected an honorary member. The
General stipulated that he should be
allowed to make an address of a po-
itical character, and the young men
gracefully acquiesced. The subject
selected is, The Common Duties Of
the Young Men Of the Republic.
General Woodford is Republican
of the most pronounced type, and
was a strong anti-slavery man. This
event, occurring at this particular
juncture of Southern affairs, is not
without significance"

A STRANGE DISPOSITION IN HUMAN
NATUBE-Under this appropriate cap
ton, the jackson Standard very fore
IDLY condemns a practice which has
grown up in many of the towns of
Ohio, and from which Hinsboro is by
no means exempt. The Standard
says:
There is a disposition in human
nature that we would like to have
some philosopher, or some other
man to explain.
We have known citizens of this
town to buy bill heads, statements,
letter heads, envelopes, etc, from
Dayton, Springfield or Columbus,
and get an inferior article, and pay
more for it than they would have to
pay in Jackson. Good, Christian
men do this, and then when they
want to repair a church in jackson,
or have a railroad built, or any other
home improvement, they do not go
to these drummers for aid, they ex-
pect aid at home. But they fail to
aid our home people, so as to enable
them to assist. Those employed in
the Standard Office buy goods to the
amount of over $4,000. By sending
to Cincinnati and buying goods by,
the quantity, a saving of perhaps
S4OO could be made. Suppose all
should do the same. Then these
business men who act so strangely
would get a dose of their own medi-
cine.
Over a year ago one of our county
officers bought a lot of stationery
from a drummer, and paid ten per
cent. more for it than Starkey would
have charged

But just here, let rs take a retrospective view.

Francis Murphy, leader of the
blue ribbon temperance movement,
which is similar in many respects to
the red ribbon movement, thus pro-
mulgates his creed: 81 make no IL
rade against liquor stores; there are
some good men in the business, but
they cannot be driven out by abuse.
The only true method of total absti-
nence is to prevail upon men to stop
drinking, and then the other men
will stop selling. There can be no
reduction in the sale of intoxicating
drink so long as men continue to
use it. Therefore, my idea is to
persuade men to abstain, for you can
have no stronger sentiment in the
community than that in the real life
of the people. You may legislate
and legislate about the closing Of sa-
looms, but you do not reach the
hearts of the people. You must
prevail upon a man to stop drinking
and turn his attention to home, and
instead of spending his money in the
aloon let him carry it to his wife
md children"

WALNUT ST. HOUSE, CINCrNNATI. Dur
ing a recent visit to the city We put up t
this comfortable and well-kept hotel, and
were pleased to notice that its patronage
is steadily increasing. The proprietor,
Mr.. c. s. Green, has recently sold an in
terest in the business to Mr.. A. Sherman,
who is an experienced and successful hotel
keeper, and has for several years past had
charge of one of the leading hotels at
jamestown, n. Y, in the popular Lake
Chsutauqua region. Under his manage
ment, aided by those polite and attentive
gentlemen, Messrs. Berry and Regnier,
who still remain in the Office, with Mr..
Ben W. Swope as night clerk, we predict
for the Walnut Street a continued advance
in public favor, especially since its prices
have wisely been reduced to suit the times,
and since the growing tendency Of bust
ness northward has made its location more
central than formerly. In conclusion, we
advise all who appreciate irst-class fare
and comfort, at reasonable charges, to try
the Walnut Street when they visit the city.
