Mani 0n a CnIOrado TraIn.

T. b. Mcdowell writes to the Boston
Transcript his experiences of railway
travel in Colorado. He says: Night drew
upon us apace, and with it came drift
ing snowstorm. A heavier engine was
shortly added, our train ightened of all
but three cars, and we started on our
climb up through the Veta pass and over
the Rocky mountains. Fer twenty one
miles our grade averaged nearly two
hundred feet per mile, with curves of
twenty, twenty-five, and thirty degree
thrown in for variety; but our little en-
gine hugged the rails closely, and lit
tie more than an hour brought us to the
summit $3.50 feet above the sea level,
und over ], 900 ieet higher than the high
est point on the Union Pacific railroad,
and formerly the highest on this conti-
nent. The air was light and frosty as We
stepped out upon the platform aud among
the fakes of falling snow, bnt it was 80
much purer than the malarial atlAosphele Q
that we had been obliged TO breathe only
few days before on the Atlantic sea-
board, that we filed our lungs again and
again with this true elixir of life, that
was exhilaratiDg almost to intoxication.
Through the rapidIy-fRlling snow we
could just distinguish the twin peaks,
thatare 13, $40 and II, 100 feet in altitude.
They looked like two ghostly snOwmen,
and seemed to smile complacently at our
discontinue over an unexpected freak
of the wind as it pelted us with huge
basketfuls of snow. Rushing down the
mountain side to the west, with the
echoes reVerberating through the canon,
we caught ever and anon glimpses of fly
ing trees and rocks, that appeared to be
enjoying race as to who should first
reach the snowmen way back among the
mountain submits. When the level
stretch of tableland on the west side of
the Rockies was reached, we dropped
ourselves back in our reclining chairs
and dozed away until long, shrill whis-
tie awoke us as we drew up at the station
of Alamosa.

A Lads Desperale Suicide.

Frederick Bissell, eighteen years old,
q son of the late Edward Bissell, O pur-
ser in the United States navy, commit
ted suicide at the residence of his moth
er in Brooklyn. He had lived with his
mother and sister since leaving school,
about year ago, aud has frequently
been subject to melancholy and appre.
hensive that he would die of consump-
tion. At breakfast nothing unusal in
his manner was observed. After break
fast he went up to his room, as his
mother supposed, for his overcoat.
Shorty after, his sister wcnt up to the
front room on the second floor and heard
her brother moving in the room directly
overhead, which was occupied by a
friend OF the family who had left for his
place OF business early in the morning.
In short time her brother, hearing her
in the room below, went to the upper
landing and said to her: "Go down
stairs, mother is calling you" She was
about to do so when she heard the door
of his bedroom close and the key turn
in the lock. This aroused her fears,
and she ran up to the front room, and
missing pistol which was usually kept
on the top Of the bureau rau to her
brother 8 room and asked him to open
the door. His reply was: $50 down
stairs and see mother" Size ran down
and called for her mother TO come up,
and Mrs, Bissell at once joined her, but
before she could explain the cause of
her alarm the report of pistol was
heard. They ran to the room, but were
unable to open the door. DR.. J. M.
Hamilton, who lives in the adjoining
house, was called and forced the door.
Young Bissell was dead upon the floor,
with an open razor on one side of him
and a revolver on tbs other. He had
cut his throat with the razor and then
shot himself through the head.

Trouhle Abont a Name.

The Sslver Star, Nevada paper, tells
how the people of a district in Hum
boldt county are troubled over a name,
as follows In Mount Rose mining
district, Paradise mountains, village
has recently sprung into existence
which can boast of having more names
than any place of its size in the uni
verse. The business men of the place
call it "Spring City" and " Spring
ville;" the postoffice department named
it Siskron;" the county commission
ers, following the example of the
miners, named the precinct and town
ship Mount Rose" and people gener-
ally call it "Bung Eye" We are in
formed that the majority of the resi-
dents OF the place are in favor of the
name of "Spring City," and, in accord
ance with their desires, Wells, Fargo
& Go. have designated the place as
Spring City in their list of Offices.
Mount Rose, the name OF the mining
district and township, would be very
good name for the town, but hundreds
of people prefer "Bung Eye" to any
other name yet given the place.

Leisure.

The most fallacious ideas prevail re-
specting leisure. People are always
saying ST would do so and so if only
had little leisure" Now, there is no
condition in which the chance of doing
is less than the condition OF leisure. The
man fully employed may be able to
crafty his good disposition by improv-
ing himself or his neighbors, or serving
the public in some useful way but the
man who has all his time to dispose of
as he pleases, has poor chance indeed
of doing so. To do, increases the capae-
ity Of doing, and il is far less difficult
for man who is in an habitual course
of exertion to exert himself little more
for an extra purpose, than for the man
who does little or nothing to put him.
self in motion for the same end.
Let no one cry for leisure that he may
be able to do anything. Let him rather
pray that he may never have leisure.
If he really wishes TO do a good thing
he will always find time to do it, by
properly arranging his other employ
ments.
There is a reluctance in everything 10
be set a going, but when that is got
over, then everything goes smoothly
enough. In fact, it may be said that TO
ask for leisure or time to do an ordinary
thing, is equivalent 10 a confession that
we are Indifferent about doing it.
