ABridaI Trip on Horseback.

The days of chivalry and all that sort
OF thing have not departed, although
railroads and Pullman palace cars have
taken most of the romance out Of travel
ing, and rendered bridal tours but
another name for an expensive and often
unwarranted luxury. Colorado, how
ever, has not yet qnite surrendered to
the alluremeuts of modern fashionable
life, but has fashion OF her own worthy
of her brave SONS and fair daughters.
Frank S. Byers and wife arrived in Den
yer, on Monday, from Middle Park.
They came through on horseback in a
little more than two days. The first
days journey was fifty miles. and over
the summit OF the snowy 1ange. That
is romance and reality in bridal tour

Bull Run,

Gen. Mcdowell, the Federal COM
mander at Manassas, and trained SOL
dier of unusual requirements, was SO
bounded and worried by ignorant and
impatient politicians and newspapers,
as to be scarcely responsible for his
acts. This may be said of all the COM
mandafs in the beginning Of the war
notably of the Confederate General
Albert Sidney Johnston-whose early
loss on the field of Shiloh was irrepara-
BILE, and, mayhap, determined the fate
of the South McDowell's plan of bat
tie was excellent, and its execution by
his mob no worse than might have been
confidently expected. The late Gov.
Andrew, of Massachusetts,, observed
that his men thought they were going to
a town-meeting. This is exhaustive
criticism. With soldiers at his disposal,
Mcdowell would have succeeded in
turning and overwhelming Beauregard's s
left, driving him from his rail commrni-
cations with Richmond, and preventing
the junction of Johnston from the val
ley. 1t appears that Beaufegard was,
TO some extent, surprised by the attack.
contemplating movements by his center
and right? His exposed and weak left,
however, stubbernly resisted the shock
of the opposing masses. Beauregard,
whose personal daring and GOODNESS
were most inspirting, brought up as
sistance from the center and right, and
the ground was held until Johnston,
who had skillfully eluded Patterson,
arrived, and began feeding the fight
with his people, when the affair was
soon decided. There can be little ques-
tion that, with strong brigade of sol
diers, Johnston could have gone to
Washington and Baltimore Whether,
with his means, he should have ad-
vanced has been too much and angrily
discussed already. Napoleon held that,
10 matter what the confusion and ex-
haustion of a victorious army, a de-
feated one was q hundred fold worse,
and action should be based on this. As
suredly, if there be justification in dis
regarding the axiom of Napoleon, the
wild confusion OF the Confederates after
Manassas, to which I have alluded,
would afford it-Gen. Dick Taylor

Twenty Vears Trying to Move.

Twenty years ago gentleman living
along the Tennessee line, not more than
thirty five or forty miles from Glasgow,
concluded to move to California. The
proposition met the cordial assent OF all
his family. Everything was shaped to-
ward the removal. When the time came
the land was unsold and some business
remained unsettled. It was agreed that
the mother and remainder of the family,
except the father, should commence the
move, which in those days consumed
months in making. The father re-
manned to settle up the affairs and sell
the farm, intending to start as soon as
he could wind up. The gentleman set
himself to work, but found it an uphill
business to adjust his affairs, and could
find no suitable purchaser for his land.
Two or three years passed in fruitless
efforts to get ready to leave, and eventu-
ally the muttering of war was heard,
and speedily the blaze of civil discord
caused all hope of family reunion to
vanish until the conflict should pass
The war over things were in no shape for
emigration. Time passed on until the
gentleman has reached an { Id age, and
infirmities have taken hold of him, and
now the probability of the family meet
ing beyond the grave is all that lights
up the hopes of either wing of the long
separated family. The family were
bound together by the strongest ties,
and the long separation has been most
painful one. 1t is certainly II most sin
gular history. Glasgow (ky.) Times

apartments; but when the weather is
bad, and his hands become cold, he asks
for his 2oaletta. This 21alletto is silver
ball little larger than an egg, in which
hot water is inclosed. The Pope takes
it, rolls it in his hands for a few mo-
ments; then, when his hands are warm
enough, he places it upon a footstool,
and takes it up again if he finds itneces-
sary. This ingenious method of warm
ing the hands is the invention of the Pope
himself

The Sprague Estate.

A special to the New York Times from
Providence, r. l., says the creditors ef
the house of A. & W. Sprague, believing
the estate was not being managed by
Zachariah Chafee, trustee, for their in.
terest, are moving to obtain control of
the property. They claim that upward
of one year has elapsed since the expira-
ton of the period during which they
consented to wait for their pay, leaving
the property meanwhile in the posses
sion of the insolvent corporation under
a trustee and assignee of its own selec-
ton. The shrinkage in values causes
them to believe there is no valuable
equity of redemption in the property, and
they do not propose to wait for further
depredations. The trustee claims to
have done all he could for the parties,
and refuses to resign his profitable place
which he has held four years The in
debtedness of the firm amounts to nearly
50, 900, 900. No interest has been paid
since January, 1876, and not a cent of
the principal has been paid. The mills
and other industries owned by the cor
poration are In full operation, and are
doing as well as other New England
manufactures. Both sides have en1i-
nent counsel, and it is the determination
of the creditors to appeal to the courts
for redress.

Migration of Insects.

Prof. Riley regards the migration of
insects as due to their multiplying more
rapidly tlian their means of support.
The migrations of rats are attributed to
the same cause, and similar observations
have been made as to other animals.
Many insects that are not normally of
migratory ndency exhibit it when
pressed by dearth OF food. La these
cases they collect together and migrate
in large bodies. Referring to instances
of the kind, Prof. Riley, at recent
meeting of the st. Louis Academy of
Sciences, stated that vast flights of but
terf1ies took place at times from the
equatorial regions of South America.
Migrating swarms have been observed at
sea; and also in the southwestern parts
of the United States, where the fact is
frequently recorded IN local newspapers,
especially in September and October,
and occasionally III the spring months.
In every instance where observations
have been made, this migrating butterfly
has been found to be the archippus.
LAST years wheat crop is estimated at
800, 900, 900 bus lels, and is said to be
the lergest ever grown in the United
States OF this amount 110, 900, ,000
bushels can be spared for expectation.
