THE LIGHT OF A CHEERFUL FACE
There is no greater everyday virtue
than chperfulness. This quality in man
among men is like sunshine to the day, or
gentle renewing moisture 10 parched
herbs The light of cheerful face diff
fuses itself. and communicates the happy
spirit that inspires it. The sourest temper
must sweeten in the atmosphere of contin-
uous good humor.
As well might fog, and cloud. and vapor
hope to cling to the sun .illumined land
scape. as the blue and moroseness to COM
bat jovial speeches and exhilarating laugh
ter. There is no path but will be easier
travelled no road but will be lighter, no
shadow on heart or brain but will lifi
sooner in the presence of a determined
cheerfulness. 1t may at times seem diff
cult for the happest tempered to keep the
continuance of peace and content; but the
difficulty will vanish when we truly con
slider that sullen gloom and passionate
despair do nothing but multiply thorns and
thicken sorrow.
If we are i'll, let us he cheerful by the
trust that we shall soon be in health; if
misfortune should befall us, let us be
cheered by hopeful visions of better for
tune; if death robs us of the dear ones,
let us he cheered by the thought that they
are only gone before TO the blissful how
ers. where we shall all meet to part no
more.
Cultivate cheerfulness, if only for per-
sonal profit You will do and bear every
duty and burden better by being cheerful
1t will be your consider in solitude, your
passport and commentator in society. You
will be more sought after, more trusted
and esteemed, for your steady cheerful
ness. The bad the vicious, may be bois-
terously gay and vulgarly humorous. but
seldom or ever truly cheerful. Genuine
cheerfulness is an almost certain index of
a happy mind. and pure. good heart.

DAETH FROM ETHER. - The Boston
Journal of Chemistry says on this subject :
A patient dies suddenly, not because
chloroform or either too quickly entered
into and thus poisoned the body. but be-
cause its immediate entrance has been
prevented by its pungent or irritant prop
erty, which has restrained the necessary
respiratory movements at the same time.
If this be true, the condition of safety is
to administer either narcotic in that degree
Of diIution at which it is easily hreathed;
and when Inconsistencies is thus gradually
produced. it may then be given almost at
The point of satura' ion, for. rs sense or
consciousness is gradually lost, the breath
ing is no longer restrained by that pun
gency which was sourc eof danger in the
first instance, though the last point is of
comparatively little moment-the air will
still contain sufficient oxygen to satisfy
he chemical requirements of respiration.
Some have thought that cher may be
given more safely than chloroform, APP
peal to experience rs being in this favor !;
but this is erroneous, and it h,s been clear

ference. Both are equally free from or

FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER Is.

b IS always Disseminated against The lattes IN
favor of the Kansas Pacific road, with which 1t
connects at Denver, and this circumstance has
deprived Pueblo of much benefit which it would
naturally derive from being the Junction Ut
roads of diff srent gauge, and the dividing
point of two branches of the Denver & Rio
Grande Road. The railroad connections of
Pueblo are many and are generally direct. By
the Atchison & Topeka Road it Is conbecsed
with the Eastern States and with the Territory of
New Mexico. The Denver & RIO Graude Road
joins 1t with the San Juan region in the sou;h-
west, with Canon City at the foot of the mour-
tains in the west aud, BY way Of Denver, with
the Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific Roads in
the north. But great railroad changes are now
occurring that will materially alter tire exist
ing state of things, and these ana description
of the general railroad 81 stems of this part of
the country must reserve for another letter.
Besides its present advantages IS railroad
centre which the future may greatly enhance,
Pueblo has other resources of growth. Smelling
works are in successful operation there and are
rapidly enlarging their capacity. There are
Touring mills which are growing into impor-
lance under the increased attention given to
agriculture in Colorado. And the mildness IF
its winter climate will always attract to it
many of that unfortunate class of hum ny
whose residence must be wholly guided by
considerations of health. The population of
the city is five Thousand. In ordinary times
should make discount of fifteen hundred on
this statement, but just now Pueblo, like every
other Colorado city, is OVERLOOKING with people,
and it is safe to accept unqualifedly It's claims
of population C,P.

MIR. BLAlNE'S SPEECH.

COMMENT of the New XorS~ Rs~.s-
NEW YORK Dec. 1.-THE Herald says that
Mr. Blaiue's much her aided speech seems to
have made but feeble impression
because it was dull
3-Btc.use the subject is too stale for any
thing new 10 be said upon it. - ~
4-Because his fellow Senators regarded his
speech as a bid for the presidency, and few of
them are disposed to favor his aspirations.
1t goes without saying, that Mr.. Blaine en-
this occasion was not equal to himself.
The Tribune says:
No honest American can afford to take Issue
with the principles or policy embodied eiaIh's
address, If Mr.. Blaine is to bs answered, the
reply must be to prove that the Facts assn
bv him have no existence. 1t is fair it,
ference from the utterances of the champ ons
who took no the cause Of the Democracy
that they have 10 hope Of disproying Mr..
Bla,ne's charges. s
The Times says: H.:
Mr.. Blaine's speech presents q new issue, oil
broad scope and deep meaning, 1t does not
imply an effort TO disinter the dead or to invest
with importance phases of the Southern
question which have practically disappeared
1t takes up that question as it. now stands, and
points to the application Of remedial measures
whose justification is to be found In the events
of today.
The World says:
The real wrong that Mr.. Blaine complains OF
ID tnat Congiess 10 10 nave Democr atlc
majority. As piece of practical polite, in
the true sense of that phrase, the speech was
an interruption and an impertipence. AS q
piece of practical politics. in Mr. Blaine:
sense of the phrase, the speech WAS also a
failure. though it may be said that all Of Its
authors political assets are involved 10 it.
The San says:
Mr. B'aine's speech is worth ce, and he
has touched at once an, available issue, in
asking il every vote cast by a white m an in the
South is to count as two white votes In the
North, Z
