Life in LeadYiiIe.

A Springfield Republican correspond ent says: There are twenty-one gam bling houses in Leadville, Col, and games are conducted as openly as Sun day-school exercises in Springfield. There is gambling saloon on Chestnut street where dozen games are going on at once. The room is large, the full ground area of the building, and is fitted so that short faro is played here, faro there, chuck-a-luck wonder, and lans- quenete, high ball poker, rouge-et- noir, the paddle wheel and the nutshell game in other parts of the room. The gam blers do not wait for evening, but begin at nine o'clock in the morning, although business is apt to be light in the day time. With the approach of evening, however, the gambling saloons fill up; three seedy-looking individuals begin to torture a fiddle, a harp and a cornet, and the voice of the banko man rings out upon the evening air. The gamblers in- clude all class of men. There are the well dressed professionals, the unlucky professionals and the "low-down pro- fessiOnals. There are furnace men just from the smelters, laborers from the streets and miners from the headings, all in their working clothes and with the grim of the days toll upon them. Among them stand clerks, accountants and professional men, all intent upon the turn of the wheel or the falling ot the cards. The scene would not be complete without two or three drunken men spelling for fight, and there are usually few men who fancy themselves opera singers and below unima ginable airs in voices that make the discords of the fid- dle and harp seem sweet as the signing of 8 summer breeze. As the evening wanes, bummers fall asleep around the stove, whereupon practical jokers tie the sleepers in their chairs and stick pins into them in order to see them jump. If the suddenly awakened sleeper jumps well, the pin is applied with such vigor that he usually jumps out through the door, carrying the chair with him into the street. The barkeeper starts off after the man who is hopping off with the chair, but sees preparations for a raid upon the bar if he leaves it, and so re- mains at his post cursing the ajokers and their victim in the most original and animated manner. Possibly the men engaged in the play have glanced up and smiled but more likely they have mo- ticed nothing unusual, and have kept their eyes upon their play.

Human Sacrifices in India.

The British government has at last succeeded in putting down the secret society of religious murderers in India called Thugs, who, in the service of their goddess, DOorga, strangled and plum dered travellers. The laborious process of hunting them out occupied thirty years, and it is only lately that some of the miscreants were brought before the Prince of Wales, one of whom boasted of having committed sixty-seven murders with his own hand. The god Jugger- naut is no longer suffered by the govern ment to crush the devotoes who flung themselves under his chariot wheels It is not long since host of human sac rifices were offered by certain non Brahmin tribes; the villages where this took place used to purchase for the pur- pose men, women and children, the so- called Meriahs. British officers have had the difficult task of effecting the de-
 liv rance of these Meriahs and the sup pression of the sacrifices, partly by force and partly by gentle means A single officer, Major Campbell, in the course
 eighteen years, according to the Con- temporary ReUieaU, rescued 1,500 men doomed to this sacrificial death. It re- quired watchfulness and energy of the British officials to put down the prac- tice of murdering young girls and burn ing widows. This prohibition of the practice of Suttee, land the law allow ing widows to marry again, were de- nounced as an attack on the Brahminist religious system, and reckened among the pretexts for the Sepoy mutiny. The value of human life is to Hindoo in- fnitely below that of COW; he had rather kill ten men than iniure one COW

Paper Pattern <,


 Paper patterns, if they do not quite an- initiate distance in fashions sphere, at least go 8 long way toward it, for now a-days the woman in theremotest corner of the far West has comparatively as fair an opportunity to be dressed in the latest fashion as those in more popular centers. That is, of course. the woman who de- sires to dress in fashion and who inves- tigates the pattern depot accessible to her. No matter where you go, you will see, if you will take the pains to observe, that the prevailing style of cutting garments is general, and though the air of the dress, so to speak, may be different, the styles are the same-basque, round waist or pOlonaise, or what not. Every wO- mans garments are cut on the same general plan and with close adherence to newest fashions. To the advent of the paper patterns and the perfection in which they are now issued, this state of things may be attributed. and it might also be taken into acc ount that those paper patterns are not indifferen factors in the present prevailing harmony of dress The little personal dainty touches ot ornament or finish so often seen in those bother days is the result, m very great measure, of the general system into which so many women have come of making their own garments, and each, as her taste may lead Ter, infuses into her habiliments something of herself. If her tastes are refined or artistic, the perception is shadowed forth in her dress, while if the contrary be the case, it is quite as clearly manifest to the ob- server. If she be neat ingenious and methOdical, these qualifications will be foreshadowed in the makeup and finish of her general attire, exactly as the un- tidy woman, who is governed by no rules in this respect, or who is deficient in mechanical construction or taste is to be singled out of a multitude. In the last instance, perhaps, it is unfortunate that the employment of professional dress makers is becoming less ;tnd less frequent. But the gain on the other hand is to be considered, for it cannot be denied that since the perfection of the paper pattern system has enabled woman to fashion their own costumes, the general style of dress has become very perceptibly more refined and pretty. To say nothing of the economy of saving the very consid- erable dressmaker's bill, the advantage is a great one even in the particular of encouraging women to study how to construct their own dresses.

 A quaint writer says: 1 have seen | women so delicate that they were afraid to ride horse for fear of the horse run ming away; afraid to sail, for fear the boat might upset; afraid to walk, for fear they might fall but I have never seen one afraid to be married, which is far more riskful than all the others put together.
 Women do the work of 'longshore- men on the wharves of St. Johns, New found. When the time arrives for ves- ses from Southern Europe, Brazil, West Indies and elsewhere, to take aboard 4heir cargoes of salt cod, herring, etc., files of females with tucked-up gowns, barred arms and coarse brogans may be seen along the wharves, carrying flat barrows of fish to and fro. Each bar TOW has four handles and is borne by two women. They perform the same labor as men at this business, but their "summer voyage " to Labrador, and act severally in the capacities of "splitters," "salters and "headers."
 Grace Greenwood writes: Never unsex yourself for greatness. The wor- ship of one true heart is better than the wonder of the world. Don't trample on the flowers while longing for the stars Live up to the full measure of life; give way to your impulses, loves and en- thusiasms; sing, smile, labor and be happy. Adore poetry for its own sake; yearn for, strive after excellence; rejoice when others attain it; feel for contem- poraries a loving envy; steal into your country's heart; glory in it's greatness, eXult in its power, honor it's gallant men, immortaiize its matchless women.

from the room in which Mr. and Mrs. Petrosheka slept into an adjoining one occupied by their seventeen-year old daughter. Here the lightning did more serious damage, for it not only set fire to the bedclothes, but totally demolished the bedstead and stunned the girl tha it was some two hours before she was restored to consciousness. The fire was extinguished by MT. and Mrs. Petrosheka before any serious damage was done to the building. After leaving the house the lightning killed COW and pig which were in yard near by. This is the most remarkable escape from death hat has come under the notice of the La

 The Raii,oay Age calls attention to
 'the remarkable and inspiring spec tacle" of the new activity in railroad building in the West. During the first six months of this year 1000 miles of railroad have been completed-a much greater number than has been finished in any half year since the panic It is proba- ble that during the last half of the pres ent year still greater progress will be made. The Grand Trunk extension and Vanderbilt schemes have infused new life into Michigan railroad enterprises. Many narrow gauge local lines are being built in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. From Chicago and Milwaukee the three main lines to the West are pushing wig orously to the Black Hills country. In Minnesota there is yet still greater &C., tlvity, the reorganized system of the St. Paul and Pacific extending line up the Red river. The construction of the Northern Pacific is going forward with out delay. The Chicago and Alton have just opened l60 miles of road to the Mis- souri. West of the Missouri there is ex- treme activity in railroad construction. Kansas and Nebraska report the build ing ofno less than half dozen branches to the Pacific roads, aggregating 200 miles in length. In Colorado the Denver and Rio Grande has issued bonds to build 565 miles of road to Leadville, San Juan and Albuquerque. The same en- terprise is shown on the Pacific slope.

The prime conditions of health in a house, says the health officer of Wash ington, D. C., depend upon cleanliness, pure air and unpolluted water, the prompt and thorough removal of all refuse, and the perfect exclusion of all foul matters arising outside the house. Good ventilation is absolutely necessary. Rooms should be frequently aired, and daily visit from Dr. Sunshine encour- aged OvercroW ding is a fruitful source of air-pollution in dwellings. Jealous attention should be paid to cellars, pam tries and passages. Mold, dampness and foul smells are never to be neglected. The sun's rays, free ventilation and lavish use of whitewash are excellent scavengers. The floors of dwellings should be frequently washed. Choose tor this purpose a dry day, doors and windows to be left open during and after the operation until thoroughly dry. The floors of dwellings should always be raised from three to four feet above ground, so as to insure perfect ventila- tion beneath, and the site should be higher than the surroundings, so as at all times to prevent dampness or pres ence of stagnant water.
 Sometime between one and two o'clock in the morning, during great storm, and the lightning flashes were most vivid and frequent, the house of MT.

Nor must farm economy be over
looked. Here is q vast field for dill
gent study, and ingenuity, too. To
know just where dollar may be saved
and where invested to produce its
proper income, is study, indeed. The
fact is that many farmers, instead of
learning this, choose to hoard what few
dollars they may grasp, instead of add
ing them to their capital to increase
their revenue. This works badly on
the farm, for narrow-minded and gree
dy parsimony is sure to follow. And
all the comfort and enjoyment that q
farmers life should possess is crushed
out by the great weight of niggardli-
ness. To save few dollars on the
preparation for crop, or in its Guilt
walton and fertilizing, is not always
true economy. Often the few extra
dollars thus spent render the whole
crop profitable. The whole question of
thus spending here and Withholding
there is of vital importance to the
farmer, and should receive his best
thought and care. Is it not clear that
farmer should be student?-Cor.
