done moral harm to the cause Of Justice, by
impairing the reverence the people have
always justly had for the integrity Of the

The Newest town in the Country,

CLEoRA, COL, April I4.-Cleora, new
town of the mountains, in which the first
business of any kind was opened scarce tour
months since, now contains, besides resi-
dences, five stores, four feed stables and cor
rails, one hotel, two boardin0houses, two
saloons, bakery, blacksmith and shoe shops,
and three lUmber-yards. The professions
are represented by DR.. Halleck, who is pre-
pairing TO open drug store, and DIR. M Kin
ney, pioneer newspaper man of California.
Nevada and other western mining States and
Territories, who has just arrived with type
and other material, ready, as soon as build.
ing can be erected tor the purpose. to start
the Cleora Courier. Many new buildings are
going up, or projected, and the town will
more than treble in the next sixty days.
There are four saw-mllls within dozen
miles, and lumber, direct from the saw, sells
for thirty dollars per thousand. Carpenters
wages, three dollars and fifty cents per day,
and yet houses are erected at comparatively
little expense, scarcely anything beng ex-
pended for ornamental work. Lots sell from
five to ten dollars per front-foot, according
to location. The name of Cleora was chosen
in honor of Miss Cleora Bayles, handsome
and popular young lady, daughter of VIM
Bayles, Esq, much respected ranchman
and merchant of eighteen years residence in
this valley. Probably no more beautiful town
site is to be found in the Rocky mountains.
1t is situated at the junction OF the Arkansas
and South Arkansas rivers, slxty-hve miles
south of LeadvIlle, ON the lower side of a
lovely valley, extending for miles up and
along the rivers. A view from the surround
ing mountains affords an exhilarating and
unceaslng pleasure. The two rivers, filed
with speckled trout to make glad the heart
of the tourist, can be see for miles, laughing
and sparkling in the sunshine as they 90 run
ming down their serpentine beds, through
grass, covered plateaus, dotted with herds of
cattle and horses grazing to or from the
waters; as the shadows grow or shorten,
while surrounding all as the frame of PIC
ture, are the pine-covered mountains, with
snow-capped peaks towering in the far dis
lance.

How Pleasant for the Brethren to
Dwell Together in Unity,

Brooklyn Eagle, 18th: AFTER the ad-
journment of the Brooklyn Presbytery yes
terday afternoon, Rev. Alfred Taylor called a
newsboy to him and asked HIM for paper.
The boy handed him an Eagle, but before he
received his pay he was seized by the sexton
of the church and pushed down the steps,
You can't sell none of them Eagles here
SAID the sexton, who was acting under the
orders of the trustees of Mr.. Crosby's church.
Brother Taylor was very indignant. Come
back here, my boy, and get your money he
said, reckoning the little fellow toward him.
The boy started to comply with his request.
He had assembled two steps and was holding
out his hand for the pennies when the sexton
again seized him by the coat-collar Then
Brother Taylor's righteous wrath was fully
aroused. He took hold of the sexton by the
shoulders and demanded that he should re-
lease the boy. The guardian of the church
refused. While Rev. Alfred Taylor kept a
firm hold on the collar of the sexton he was
assaied in the rear by brawny trustee of
Mr.. Crosby's congregation, who grabbed him
by the coattai and tried to drag him from
the trembling sexton. This was too much
for Mr.. George P. Edgar, who is a good
Presbyterian and friend of Brother TAYLOR
He darted swiftly around one of the Big pill
lars and attacked the brawny trustee Scrip
turally speaking, he smote the offender hip
and thigh. From a sporting standpoint it
may be SAID he led out with his right and
planted humber" on the top of the trus-

Fremont,s schema.

General Fremont s scheme for flooding that
part of TIE Colorado desert lying in southern
California Is attracting great deal of atten-
ton. 1t is argued that ages ago the basin,
of which Dry lake Is the lowest point, was a
part of the Gulf of California. The sedi-
ment carried down by the Colorado river
finally collected at what was then the mouth
of the river, in such quantities as to dam off
the northern arm Of the gulf. AS the waters
In TINS isolated sea slowly evaporated, and as
there was no inflow, the result was the desert
of sand now seen. Dry lake is three hun
dred feet below the level of the sea- At ons
point on the southern Pacific the plain is two
hundred and sixty-three feet below the level
OF the sea. The basin is about one hundred
and thirty miles long and from thirty to fifty
miles wide. Between this and the head of
the gulf is thirty miles of territory Just above
the sea level. Governor Fremont's scheme
Is to cut canal across this strip of land and
allow the waters of the gulf to fill up the
basin. He believes this is better plan than
the one proposed years ago, to turn the
Colorado river into the desert In this scheme
Arizona and Mexico are as much interested
as California. The est mated cost of cutting
the canal is one million dollars. A gentle
man who has travelled on horseback across
the desert says he is of the opinion that all
the waters of the Pacific ocean will hardly
saturate the sand with moisture. He thinks
it Is dry and hot all the way through to the
other side.

rILDEN I'M MORE rRoUBLE.

Tilden is retormer who is sadly in need
of reformation. He is in more trouble, again
accused of trying to beat the government out
of lis revenue. Tilden is a member of a
patent medicine firm in New York, which is
charged with sending out its decoctions with
out the necessary internal revenue stamps.
Senator Barnum and nephew of Mr.. Tilden
have been in Washington for week endeav.
orng to make peace with the internal reve-
enue commissioner. Mr.. Tilden's finn is re-
ported to have sent hundreds of tens of its
medical nostrums into every part of the
country. The law requires a one cent stamp
on every box or bottle which is to be retailed
at the rate of twenty five cents, two cents on
one to be sold at fifty cents and a four cent
stamp on one which is to be retailed at one
dollar. The cases or boxes thus far selzed in
the possession of the druggists at Chicago,
st. Louis. New Orleans, Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Boston were found to have few
stamps on the top layer of smaller boxes or
phials, while those beneath and out of sight
in each package had none. Commissioner
Raum announces a firm intention to prosecute
the case against the TIldens.

Auecdote or Queen Victorta

London Journal: "The queen was not
twenty years of age when she assembled the
throne. Coming into possession of power
with heart fresh, tender and pure, and with
all her instincts inclined to mercy, we may
be sure that she found many things that
tried her strength of resolution to the ut
most. On bright, beautiful morning, the
young queen was waited upon at her palace,
at Windsor, by the Duke of Wellington, who
had brought from London various papers re-
QuirinR her signature to make them opera
tive. One of them was sentence OF court
martial pronounced against a soldier of the
line-that sentence that he should be shot
dead. The queen looked upon the paper,
and then looked upon the wondrous beauties
that nature had spread to her view. What
has this man done?' she asked. The duke
looked at the paper, and replied: 'Ah, my
royal mistress, that man, fear, is incorri-
gible. He has deserted three times And
can you not say anything, in his behalf, my
lordY Wellington shook his head. oh!
think again, pray you'll Seeing that her
majesty was SO deeply moved, and feeling
sure that she would rot have the man shot in
any event, he finally confessed that the man
was brave, and gallant, and really a good
soldier. But he added, think of the in
fuence.' Influence! the queen cried. her
strong emotion. Let it be ours to WELD in
huenee. will try mercy in this mans case,
and charge you, your grace, to let me know
the result. A good soldier, you said. Oh,
thank you for that! And you may tell him
that your good word saved him. Then she
took the paper aud wrote with bold, firm
hand, across the dark page, the bright, saw
ing word-'pardonedr The duke was fond
of telling the story; and be was willing also
to confess that the giving of that paper to
the pardoned soldier gave him far more Joy
than he could have experienced from the
taking of city,"

A Case for a HIp-Pocket Pistol.

Chicago Tribune, 18th: cat three o'clock
yesterday afternoon August Munchausep,
while passing Edward Fishers farm aud
dairy, near the corner of Thirty first and
Wallace streets, was set upon by four vicious
dogs, one large bulldog, which are allowed
to run at liberty. The bull dog sprang for
his throat, and fastened his fangs into the
fl 4shy part of the right arm, which the man
threw up to protect himself He seized the
animal, and, choking it off as best he could
held it at arms length away from him, but
despite these efforts his arms and shoulders
were lacerated in a most horrible manner,
the bones of the forearm being laid bare, and
the fingers chewed almost into pulp. While
he was engaged in battling with this ferocious
antagonist, the three other dogs, all of good
size and strength, kept biting his legs, tear
ing the flesh into shreds. Two men who
were in the neIghborhood heard Munchau-
sens cries for help and ran to his assistance,
but it was not until they shot the bull dog
dead that he was compelled to release the
hold. Munchausen was taken to his home,
near the corner of Kossuth and Wallace,
where hs received both medical and surgical
attendance. His injuries are so serious that
his recovery is considered improbable. It is
needless to hint at what ought to be done to
the owner of such animals for allowing them
to run loose"

the blacks are paid nothing for their labor.
Neither poor whites nor blacks should be
treated as paupers, to be made the benei-
Charles of the government. Garfield, for
party purposes, may undertake to make the
blacks 'the wards of the nation" but the
American people do not propose to make the
colored race privileged classic give them
rights denied the poor white immigrants. 1t
is no part of the function of government
to select out few of whom to make favor
ties; to transplant them to free
lands; to present them with outfits, and
maintain them till such time as they
are self-supporting. The worthy but penni-
less mechanic, artisan or laborer at home
would have Just as much right to make the
same demand on the government, and the
evil thus once lnaugurated would, 10 this age
of arrant demagogism, grow to frightful
and unmanageable proportions. All that a
paternal government may do IN the way of
free lands and homes, our government has
done. Its wonderfully liberal homestead
law provides that any citizen or applicant for
citizenship over twenty-one, be he white or
black, as, also, any woman, the head of
family, can secure free farm of his or her
choice, of one hundred and sixty acres, on
any unappropriated public lands, subject to
presumption, at one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre; or he or she may enter, by
presumption, eighty acres of any unappro-
priated public lands classed at two dollars
and fifty cents per acre. The only condition
is that such citizen must show his good faith
by residing on and working the land SO
chosen for FIVE years. Union soldiers and
sailors Tor, in case of their decease, their
widows and children) need only show one
years residence to procure valid titles.

Sacred 1HuGfR

Providence (R. IL Journal: "The years
passed on, and with the ambition of the
younger generations who succeeded to the
primitive elders there was multiplication
of new musical ideas, and the meeting houses
which came down from the first settlers re-
sounded to the long drawn notes of the bass
viol- And in this connection we may relate
an anecdote of a brother who led the singing
IN rural Westinghouse in Connecticut The
psalm of Watts. In which are the lines:
OH may my heart In tune be found,
Like Ddvid's harp of solemn sound
he conceived might be altered to suit the in
strumental condition of the choir, and he pro-
posed to the pastor that in his next Sunday
service he should adopt a new version which
he had prepared, and which ran in this wise ::
Obi may my heart be tuned within,
Like DaTtds sacred VIOLIN
Without finding fault with the new render
ing, the worthy pastor observed thatit seemed
to him that it also might be improved, and he
to the poetical and musical enthu-
siast that his verses should read:
'Oh! may my heart go diddle, diddIe,
Like Uncle Dayid's sacred fiddle
1t is needless to say that the singing brother
saw the point, and there was no alteration in
the psalm
