her younger brothers and sisters, and the
father came and went with the burdens OF
life as usual, until second fame was
kin1led and he brought home another
wife. This union did not prove a con
genial one. The woman was accused Of
unfaithfulness, and divorce followed.
Again the patient daughter. who had

younger children, until recently a second
woman was introduced 10 the house a.

HIGH AND LOW LIFE IN DENVER.

The Gambling Nania-Hov Goverue'
Aontha.
psnvx Les,sr to New York Sun
They gamble here more than they
should, but they do it openly. and conse-
quently the evil engenders much less by.
pocrisy than it does elsewhere. The
gambling Is also much more democratic
than it is In the East. There is no raid
inG here of small gambling houses, and
protecting the large ones. The uniform
rate Of . cent chips makes the green
cloth accessible to everybody. You see at
the same table wealthy merchant OF
| broker from New York or Chicago, a
president of New England school board,
and q rough looking miner from the Car
Donate Hill. The very incongruity OF
| such an assemblage makes it orderly and
decorus. Gambling rows are very rare.
and cheating on the part Of the dealer
becomes impossible, for the sharp eye Of
the Western miner protects the Eastern
innocence.
The stories told Of the reckless extrava-
gance Of miners coming from their camps
to the city are only partly true. Those
who make really big strikes stick TO their
| money. The spendthriit is only TO be
found among the hard workers, who accu-
mulate few hundred dollars by unbear-
aole hardships and unceasing toll. They
want recreation. Money seems 10 burn
their pockets, and they try to get nd Of
| 1t as quickly as they can on ~ plea that
they know where to dig for some more Of
il when they want it. IL is this kind Of a
| fellow that you see substituting bottles of
| champagne for pins in the bowling alley
and making presents of jewelry TO female
trends he has never spoken to before.

that most OF this wealth has been invest

the State of Nevada, Mr.. Tabor. is one of
the best illustrations Of what people do

INTERESTING CELEBRATION.

The Fourth OF July under the Midnight
Sun ut the North Cape.
Correspondence New York Herald.
NORTH CAFE, NORWAY, latitude IL
Is longitude 25o So, July 4. lS79.-A
party of Americans has just celebrated the
anniversary of our national independence
at this Cape. We arrived here at eleven
o'clock on the night of the Sd and at one
minute after midnight guns were fred and
the shrill sounds of the engines whistle
was made to respond to the number OF
stars on our flag, and loud cheers given to
usher in our great national holiday. The
party then assembled the almost perpendIc-
ular cliff 1850 feet high and raised the
American flag, the flag being made for
the occasion by the ladies OF the party
out of materials purchased at one Of the
Norwegian towns. When the flag was
raised cheers and guns again resounded
over the waters. II was certainly most
extraordinary place for such celebration
perhaps the first time that a party Of
Americans ever celebrated the 4th Of July
at such an hour and at such latitude
and longitude. The midnight sun shone
upon us all the time with dazzling bright
ness. Far to the north we gazed out on
the Atlantic ocean dashing against the
great cliff on which we stood; behind us
were the snowclad mountains, along which
we had been coastin2. and not living
creature was near us but the sea birds
that arose screaming from the water as
the silence of their home was broken.
The North Cape is beyond seyenty-one
degrees of north latitude and about one
hundred miles north Of Hammerfest, the
most northeily town in the world. II Is
FIVE degrees further north than the most
northern point Of Iceland.

derive a valuable suggestion from this.
As both the potato and the tomato are o.
