A COLORADO WATERING GPLAcE.-Amongst the grand scenery and delightful resorts of the Rocky Mountains there sfe none SO a.- tractive as the beautiful Maniion, situated amongst the foothills ofPike's Peak. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad passes through Colorado Springs. five miles distant, from whence the mail stage comes to Maniiou and aero ss the range to Fairplay and South Park. In this c0zy little nook there are three good hotels snd several boarding houses, post office, two stores, and about s dozan dwelling houses Oneofihe latter k the Summer residence of Grace Greet wood. and an1ther is the neat dwelling of fhe artist, Theodore Pine, of Chcago. From the Hotels are fine views of Pike's Peak, Caineron's Cone, and Englemans Canyon. while lesser peaks. mountain sides. h'llocks and wales complete the sweep of romsmic scenery by which Manitou k almost entirely shut in. Only one point of the compass is not mark ed by mountain scenes. and in this direction -east,-hy climbing gentle slope. we have an extended view of inc boundless, illimit- able prarie. rolling of in gentle uAduIations as far as the eve can reach and seeming so liEe the billowy ocean. and sp much in con trsst with the continuous mountains, that one bursts forth in ecstatic exclamations of won derment.

A trad ss union committee waited on Rev Henry Ward Be cher recently and requested to learn his opinion in regard to this problem :: If the average family can be maintained on one dollar day. how many families can be provided for on $20.000 year7 Mir.

TIE ALTA CALIFoRNIA.-makes the fol- lowing commeats relative to the law con- cerning witnesses.
 The manner in which several witnesses have been treated in the trial now in pro gress at Placerville, suggests that some amendments should be made to the Code to protect citizens against Inc malice or reek- lessness of litigants. It appears that man who has not the knowledge of any fact ad- miSsabie in evidence on the trial, may. be- cause of mere surmise, be dragged away from the bedside of dying wife, or from his shop when it is threatened with destruction by fire.
 It seems in such cases that a witness whe has been but to heavy expense may not even recover the money back which he has act ually paid out.

INdERsoLI's CREED.-A writer in the Vallego Chronicle frames a creed satirizing Col. IngersoIl's faith and philosophy, as fol- lows:
 We believe that there is no God. but that matter Is God and God is matter, and that it Is no matter whether there Is any God or not. We believe. also, that the world made itself. Or that it had DO beginning. and that it will last forever. We believe tha' man IS beast, that the soul is the body and the body is the soul, and after death there iS neither soul nor body. We believe. that there is no religion, and that all religion is unnatural. We believe not in Moses; hut We believe in some of tine Philosophers. We believe not in Prophets nor Evangelists. We believe in Hobbs, Paine. Voltaire, Boiling broke and Bob Ingcrsoll, though all these men differed and we differ too. We beIeve not in St. Paul; we believe not in revela- ton. We believe in ourselves, and lastly we guess there is some immortality for everybody, good or bad. Amen"

winter had bid us adieu, SO pleasant

blow and we knew at once that winter
had only been playing pranks on us,
just like some people, ease our hopes
to some great expectations, and we
think that Joy and happiness are al
most within our reach, then they with
a child-like and bland expression will
say some chilling thing that freezes
us worse than any north wind. Such
