Colorado Turtles.
from the Denver (Col.) Times.1

From the Denver (COl.) Ilme5J
A gentleman from Monotony tells rather
| interesting story about pair of swapping
turtles. He is an old plalnsman, and few
days ago took his shotgun and went over to
Eagle Tail for the purpose of getting few
ducks. Arrived at the creek he found no
ducks, but saw two of those great fresh-water
turtles, met with more frequently in Eastern
ponds than in Colorado, and apparently
weighing about forty pounds each. They are
very shy bird, their head popping into the
good shot the hunter succeeded in binding
both of them. and bothering them so that
they were easily caught and dragged out
Snsppers are very active, and unlike a sea
turtle, being provided with long and strong
legs, can turn themselves after being placed
upon their backs. Their captor had no way
of securing them, and would get only q few
steps away in the search for piece of wood
out of which to make stakes, when his cap
tives would be going at turtle 2.4O gait
tow ard the creek The contest between in
stinct and reason was kept up more than an
hour and half, much to the disadvantage
of reason, at the end of which time ranch
man living near by came along and assisted
the hunter in taking the turtles to his home.
Here they were put in sheep pen having q
fence about three feet high, and the men went
to the house. Quarter of an hour afterwards
the hunter wet to the pen for his gun and
found that the turtles were gone. As there
were no holes in the fence, and as they had
not dug out, the conclusion was irresistible
that they had climbed over. Their trail was
found, and about half mile away they were
caught making bee line for the creek.
Firing off his gun, the ranchman again came
to his assistance, and the turtles were again
put in the pen, and tied to stake They
were worth watching, however, and few
minutes afterward it was found that they
had gnawed off the rope, and again started
for the creek. They were only few rods
away this time, however, and were then tied
so short that they could not reach the cord,
and ultimately arrived at their captor's kitchen
at Monot0ny.

THE SEA.kING'S BRIDE.

A LEGEND OF TAHITI.
princess knet on the Powered shore
OF an isle in the trOpic sea,
Where hammered palms waved proudly DER
The fronded palms of a tropic shore
And the vines e1lshrined her lovingly.
Fair as the dawn was her grllsh face,
AS she knelt in that hour of prayer,
Asking of heaven a resting-place.
A love who would prize her angel-face;
For that, in her wOe she bended there.
She had sought for love as maid will sue,
She had sung with the birds in air,
She had sought for love in the billOws blue,
Where her fair young face reflected true;
For loving Love she was praying there.
The fair girl knelt on the moonlit shore,
In the tumult of loves unrest;
God heard her unto the sea dcplOre-
In midnight prayer Oh mOOllit shore
OF the woe in her lOvelorn breast.
so princess fair" puring bjllow pleads,
Az it laved her young feet with foam,
"YOur deep unrest unto sorrow leads;
And my MASTER the king, unto you pleads,
You will come meath the sea to his home"
"Who is your master. fair billow blue?'
The glad maid in her anguish CRIED
"Oceanus, the king loving and true,
Who rules below. in the realms of blue;
His chariot, the mOOnlit lide."
"Go bid your master haste to me,
And fill the wide void in my breast!
I'll go with your king beneath the sea
If his chariOt-tides come quick to me!
Go anywhere to be caressed!"
From out the sea Oceanus rose,
And caught the fair maid from the shore;
His chariot plunged through the moons repose,
Where the crimson coral CLEANS and glOws;
NevermOre returning g-nevermOre!
But oft at night. with the moonlight DER.
Where she had knelt in that hour of prayer;
Her white-winged sprite fits the flOwered shore;
Where angels murmur their blessings DER
At the thought of her anguish there.
In governed oceans cloistered halls
The blue sea rolls its starllt tide;
Their homes of crimsoned coral wallis
And palace fanes, and temple halls
Are decked tonight for the sea-kings bride.
The coral groves with phosphor CLEAN,
And all the glades of ocean glow;
The sea-stars cast their softest beam;
Illumined like q lovers dream
Are the bridal halls below.
There nymph and mermaid watch and wait,
Bedeck with pearls, to greet their queen;
There grim old gods come forth in state,
And ocean fairies waltz elate,
And mermaids, robbed in gold and green.

OCCASIONALLY,

On last Thursday night, David
Hall stole a fine roam mare from Alex.
McMurtry, who lives near Narrows
Bridge, Davies county, Ky. He
came on through this town and was
arrested at Beaver Dam, by Thomas
Stevens, town marshal. Mr.. McMur-
try, accompanied by Mr.. French
came on in pursuit, and reached Bea-
yer Dam, Saturday evening, where
they found the mare and David Hall.
Hall was brought to town and lodged
in Jail and had his examining trial on
Monday, was acquitted upon the idea
that he was an idiot, or at least has not
mind enoughto commit a felony. He
was defended by Mr.. ii. d. McHerry,
who WAS appointed by the Court to
defend, Hall, not having sense enough
to employ counsel. Hall left in COM
pany with Mr.. McMurtry, and said
he would go home with him aud work
for him enough to pay for the trouble
and he be "dad-burned" if ever he got
"cotch" in mother snap.

Who il Elected President:

Why, Tilden ofcourse. If you take
the face Of the papers as they stand,
Tilden has one majority. If YOU con-
clude that Congress can go behind the
returns and inquire into the State cleo
tiors, Hlden IL still elected, for he
carried majority of over eight thou
sani in eBOnisaaa,i and also carried
Florida, which gives him twelve more
electoral votes. SO take either end of
the rope and the same result is OBJ
taiaed.F Nothing sbut atbold, outra-
geous move on the part of the conspir-
ators, who ale considerably in the mi
Eority, to il augurate Hayes by brute
force, and a copaully acqnicscence on
the part of a tremendous majority,
backed up by law, justice, constitution,
precedent, and the honest vote Of over
four million freemen, can change the
result. Every intimation on the part
Of Mr.. Tilden's supporters TO submit to
this outrage. only emboldens the con-
spirators that much more, A Grm,.

Tilden willbe inanguraied. Let every
true patriot speak out in tones of thun-
der in opposition to the gross u.urpa-
ton.

We will leave it 10 good Republican
authority TO say. On the 25,h day OF
February, 1879, Senator R6scon Conk-
ling, one of theRtpubliean contestants
for the nomination for President, said
in the United States Senate: "The
two Houses, in fact, make the count

stitutiOn imports, nat Is ne art Of the

the same position. Several of these

majority of the qualified voters of the
countylis aquestion which ! shall not,
attempt TO argue. But there is one
thing peculiar to the country and
which appears remarkably-strange to
many and that is, there is not a single
justice of the peace in the county,
neither has there been for over two
wears. All matters and actions over
which magistrates had jurisdiction now
come before the County Judge and
Police Judges in the various little
towns in the county. These officers
of the law were dispensed with, as
was informed, in order to prevent the
serving of processes on them for rail
road tax.
But as | am DEPRESSING from the sub
iect, will return TO GreenviIle, and
cnGcavor to describe how the holidays
were spent by the citizens. The wealth
from Christmas, to New Years dav,
was intensely cold, without any inter
mission, but Notwithstanding this, the
young ladies and gentlemen were de
termined 10 have parties and they did.
But the grandest one, the writer ever
witnessed in the town of Grecnvile,
was given by Mr.. F. b. Hancock, en-
Thursday evening, 2Sth. Over five
hundred Invitations were distributed in
town ard to acquaintance in adjacent
counties. AT halfpast seven the par
lors were thrown open, and the guests
made their appearance and were re.
ceived by Mr.. Lewis Reno, than whom
a more genial and popular gentleman
could not be found in Muhlenburg
County. 1t has never been my pleas
ure to gaze upon such large assem-
blage Of beautiful and intelligent
young ladies rs were present on this
occasion. Greenville can invariably
boast of possessing more beautiful
young ladies than'any other town of the
same size in the State, but never before
did they appear so charming and en-
gaging in looks and conservation. At
| | O'CLOCK, we were invited into the
dining room where the tables were
loaded with all the delicacies of the
season. Indeed the most fastidious
epicure could have Toasted at these ia
bles. After feasting TO our hearts CON
tent, we again repaired to the parIors
and engaged in pleasant chit-chat,
until about one o'clock, when all went
home regarding this, one of the most
enjoyable entertainments ever held
in the town of Greenville.
cannot close this without return
ing my sincere thanks TO the kind and
hOspitable people of Grecnville for
