GROWING OLD Ora CEFULLY

Softly, oh softly. the years have swept by thee,
Sorrow and care they did often bring thee;
ct they have left thee but beauty to Wear. {
Growing old gracefully,
Gracefully tair.
Far from the storms that are washing theocean
carer each day to the pleasant home light:
Far from the waves that are big with commotion,
Under full sail and the harbor in sight!
Growing old cheerfully,
Cheerful and bright. e..
Past all the winds that were adverse and chilling;
Past all the islands that lured thee to rest
Past all the currents that wooed thee unwilling,
Far from the port of the land of the blest.
Growing old peacefully,
Peacefully and bleSt.
Never feeling of envy or sorrow. .
Where the bright faces of the children seen
Never a year from their youth Wouldst thou Dor
row.
Thou dost remember what lieth between.
Growing old willingly,
Gladly, l ween!
Rich in experience that angels might Covet;
Rich in faith that has grown with thy years;
Rich in a love that grew from and above it;
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing thy fears.
Growing old wealthily,
Loving and dear. ...
Hearts at the sound of thy coming are lghtened
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve;
{ 1t is more blessed to give than receiver
Growing old happily.
Blest, we believe.

When we DemOralize the Stomach

BY excuses or imprudence in eating, we
cannot hope to escape the consequences for
any great length OF time. The most robust
digestion must succumb to abuses of that i'm
portant function. But supposing that we
have been foolish enough to enfeeble the
stomach, is the damage irreparable? By no
means. The dyspeptic has only to do two
things to insure his ultimate recovery.
First> he should adopt an easily digestible
diet. Second, he should use with regularity
and persistence Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
The leading gastric invigorant of the age;
The multiform symptoms of dyspepsia, and
the almost invariably attendant disorders
hlliousness and constipation, viii assuredly
cease TO persecute the sufferer if the above
advise is attended to-. Who that has suffered
the torrents that chronic indigestion inflicts
will neglect to take advantage of remedy
which, II the most positive evidence Of the
medical profession and the public is to be re-
ceived with due credence, Is an absolute Sc

Gen. TaiiaferrO Drained by Lunatic.

A desperate and fatal ARRAY occurred
in the lunatic asylum at this place to-
day, between Gen. John F. Taliaferro, a
former prominent politician in the
state, and Newton Cunningham. Both
were inmates Of the asylum, and were
of influence and fortune before their
loss of mind. Cunningham became
offended with Gen. Taliaferro because
ne said that a fiying-machine, upon
which Cunningham had been at work
for nine years, would not navigate sue

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

At the Territorial Democratic Con.
vention at Vancouver the following
resolutions were adopted as the plat
form on which that party will make
their campaign stand:
l. That We are unalterably opposo 4
to the dismemberment of the Terri.o
and are in favor of State gov,.r.su.
at the earliest moment our populsti, :.
and wealth all justify the same.
2. That We are upqualifedly in favor
of the extension of time for the compile
tion of the main line and branch of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, and we
recoguizs as enemies of the prosperity
of our people all who oppose such
extension.
). That the improvement of the CO.
lumbis. Snake and other great rivers
of our Territory are national works.
which should be prosecuted to an early
completion.
4. That We recognize the mutual de-
tendency of labor and capital, and
deprecate all attempts to antagonize
them in the combination of capital to
control. and the strikes Of labor to resist
this control, ~ destructive to the true
interests of both.
5. That the present business depres-
sion and wide spread distress through
oot the Union is chiefly attributable to
unwise measures of finance for which
the Republican party is wholly respon
sible.
8. That the policy of the Government
in relation to the Indian tribes on this
coast, the experience of the past dem.
onstrates to be failure. and change
therein is imperstivsly demanded; such
an abandonment Of the reservation
system rs will insure the breaking up
of the tribal relations OF tho Indian, or
the consolidation of ell the reservations
iGto one with military control, IN order
that the annual raids Of the hostile
bands aud the murder of our citizens
may be effectnally checked. the peace
and prosperity Of the Territory re-
quires.
2. That the liberties of our nation
rest in the intelligence of its citizens,
aud that our common school system
cannot be over es:imated. nor can too
much care be bestowed to make il more
liberal and perfect.
8. That our nation 10 to b. congratu.

A slanderous article appeared to-day
in the Cheyenne Sun touching my pro-
fessional reputation as an architect. in
connection with the Laramie City
school building, now in process Of cree
tion. The statements made by that
paper have no foundation whatever in
fact. l beg leave to present the facts
as they exist and which can be proven
beyond dispute:
1t is charged that the 'splan Of a
school house furnished by me was a
copy of the Denver Broadway school
building" This I deny, as my plans
were made long before those of the
Broadway school building were submit
ted to the public.
Again: 1t is charged that sthe way
in which he (Jordan) oversees the work
is to insist that a particular furnace,
upon which he can get a royalty. must
be put in" The truth is that 1 never
had any correspondence with, nor have
I ever seen either of the proprietors or
any of their agents Except Messrs.
Draper & Hammond, of this city, to
whom I refer the public in regard to the
matter) until about three months after
the furnaces were purchased by the
contractor. / have never received re-
muneration to the value of one cent
from either the proprietors or their
agents for the furnace. neither do 1 ex-
pect to do SO hereafter.
As regards the statement that the
stone furnished was brought from my
quarry, I desire to say that it is wholly
incorrect. Every stone which was sent
to Laramie City was taken from the
quarry of George Weaver, Jr., at Fort
Collins, in which 1 have not, nor never
had any pecuniary interest.
As to the charge that 1 am "a fraud
and a h%umbug" 1 will rest content and
allow the future to vindicate my repu-
tation.
Respectfully,
R. W. JORDAN.
