TALKS ON TEMPERANCE.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-02-23

Leadville was originally occupied by squat
rs and for long these were allowed to live
unmotested. But after the value OF the silver
mines was demonstrated and people began
locking into the village space began to be
marketable. Then various efforts were
possession Of the land. The only
patent thus far issued by the
government has been to Stevens u Letter.
Stevens is one OF the original proprietors OF
the famous Iron Mine, which Is now owned by
him and Mr.. Il. u. Letter, Of Chicago. Some
months ago he went to Washington and sue
ceeded In securing patents to q large portion
Of the land In the village OF Leadville. But
1t is currently reported that this land was not
granted under the agricultural land laws, by
which mining claims Of ten acres are allowed
by the government for strictly mining pur-
poses. If this is 50, the title OF Messrs.
Stevens Il Letter Is liable to be disputed, as
the land has been in no way used for mining
purposes, but, on the contrary, has been par
celed off In lots, and Is now being sold as resi-
dence property.
1t has been said Of Leadville that it's main
street iS buster and shows
MORE LIFE AND ACTIVITY
than any street of any city In the State ol
Colorado. This is very near the truth. All
day and all night the broken sidewalks re-
sound with the tread OF feet. During the day
blockades often occur In the street which
would do credit to Broadway, and as for the
sidewalks they are continually crowded. At
night the saloons and gambling houses are
brilliantly lighted and thronged with the
toughest class OF miners, who come from
their cabins In the gulches to enjoy them
selves according to the most approved meth
ods among mining communities The lights
and the shadows OF mining life are strangely
mingled, and form an interesting, though not
always commendable picture.

that useless hoHrd was being collected in the

said, while prices continue to sink and despair
overwhelms the people.
Mr.. Garfield, OF Ohio, characterized the

The traffic In eggs In this country is esti-
mated, by competent authorities, to equal
$15o,000,06o per annum. New York receives
In a single year $50, 900 barrels Of eggs, valued
at $9,00O,O0O In 1877 there were exported
from this country ,202, ,2o5 dozen eggs, valued
at S668, ,701. It is claimed that Philadelphia
consumes daily $4,000 dozen eggs. The ap-
proximate receipts Of eggs in Boston for the
year 1878 have been as follows: 107,627 cases,
containing 40 dozen each; $4,000 boxes, con-
taining 100 dozen each, and 7,7S3 barrels, con-
taining 70 dozen each. These figures give, as

estimated that fully 95 per centum oil all re-
ceipts are consumed Ia Massachusetts,, and
that about 80 per centum are consumed In and

The fight lasted forty-five minutes, and will
be declared a draw, and the stakes divided
It is said to be the most scientific fight ever
witnessed, and Coburn would have had an
tasy victory If it had lasted short time
longer. Coburn showed no signs of the en-
counter, while his antagonist was badly bat

held In $1,000.

The influence Of women In the East In the

generally supposed. i. Thomas, in q paper
lately read before the Asiatic Society. London:
has shown that it was common in the ancient
world to name children after the mother
rather than the father and that this custom
prevails in certain portions of the East at
the present day. He gave examples OF this
usage from Lycia. Caria, Etruria, Persia, an

YESTERDAYS DISPLAY.
HOW wAsHINGrON's BIRTHDAY WAS.
CELEBRATED.

1t has been many years since the anniver-
sary OF the birth OF that patriotic statesman
and gallant soldier, George Washington, has
been celebrated In this city as 1t was yester-
day. Early In the morning the throngs of
people from the suburban districts began to
arrive In the city, and by noon Canal street
was jammed. 1t was most difficult for pedes-
trtanS TO force their way one square
In fifteen minutes SO pressing and close were
the numbers on the street. When the first
note Of the band was heard on st. Charles
street, there was ali immediate rush In that
direction, and 1t was only after that 1T was
made known that only one company had
arrived that the pushing and hauling, this
way and that, was dispensed with. About
half past o'clock the Thirteenth Infantry
filed out from Rampant street and took Its
position, followed after some delay by other
commands.
From a careful survey of balconies and
Sidewalks 1t is safe to say that on no pre-
yious parade on Washington's birthday has
there been such It military display. The
sidewalks on Canal streerr we're blocked by
people long before the military started, and
after it's tour down town many fingered
| awaiting Its return. Next to Mardi Gras no
| such a turnout of the people has been Wit
messed, and the day was red letter one to
| the many.
| The procession was led by the staff OF the
First Brigade Louisiana state National
Guard.
WI. Behan, Brigadier General.
| G. A. Williams, Lieutenant Colonel and AS
sistant Adiutant General
| G. l.. Walker. Major and Assistant Inspec-

try, and then the
