yard they return in the same way.
Leadville has three thousand houses
and shanties and two streets. There
are only two brick houses in the place.
At night, when work Is done for the
day, these streets are packed with
people. Long lines of men form at the
postofdce when the mails are distribu-
ted. The principal and frst-class &C.
commodatiOns are at the Grand Gen.
trail Hotel aud the Tontine restaurant !;
board four dollars per day, with good
food and plenty of vermin.
Although the supcrfntendents OF
mines are constantly calling for men
at $S and % SO per day, there are 5000
idle men In the place. A mine calls
for fifty men at 43 80 per day, and half
a dozen only respond. The superin-
tendent appeals to the authorities, and
Immediately fifty men are picked up
as vagrants aud put to work on the
streets. They can not be forced to
work in the mines, but they can be
made to do the city some service. The
result is, that under the influence Of
this warning, q lot OF them are induced
to 60 to the mines and commence
work. And so with the next call.
While Mr.. Rutherford was in Lead
vile he saw an offer made of $3, SOC, 600
500, 900. Senator Jones and associates
offered that sum for three mines, one
Of which cost $50, another $50, 900 and
the third 84O, 900. The owners held off
demanding $5,OOO,OOO.
The first Chfnaman arrived while
Mr.. Rutherford was there. No sooner
had he alighted from the top of the
stage than he was surrounded by a lot
of men and marched off to the grave
yard, where he was told that he could
not remain in Leadville save as a
s'stif." He Immediately and cheer
fully started for sFair Play" The
Leadville people have sworn that they
will not tolerate John.
The fact that this wandercr from the
Orient is willing to work, while three
thousand white men refuse to work,
does not operate in his favor in the
least. The trouble is, he is too will
ing.
Whisky, some good and some very
bad, sells at twenty-five cents per
drink; cider at twenty-five cents per
small glass; lager at one dollar per
quart bottle. Waterworks and gas
works are progressing.
Leadville is we'll governed. In the
midst of all these rough men and bad
elements order prevails. The police are
efficient and there are two well organ
lied vigilance committees. A bunko
man had robbed miner of $l3s. He
was pointed out. With half a dozen
pistols at his head he threw up both
hands and quietly took seat. His
gold watch and chain, pistol, keys,
etc., and $3.50 were taken from him.
The $139 having been returned to the
miner, the balance was handed over to
the chairman of the vigilance commit
tee. The bunko man was then given
start of fifty yards through the street,
and the ego" was given him. Then he
started, with a dozen pistol bullets
tearing up the ground behind him. 1t
is supposed he is still running. This
was called stern justice.

THE FATE OF A HERD OF BUFFALOEs.

An army officer who recently arrived
in Chicago from the Yellowstone valley,
tells story Of what happened to
herd OF butiaioes as they were mig
rating southwark. The herd num-
bered $500 head, and had been
driven out of the Milk River country
6y tho Indian hunters belonging to
reached the river they ventured upon
the ice with their customary confidence,
coming upon 1t with q solid front, aud
beginning the crossing with closed
ranks. The stream at this point was
very deep. When the front file, which
was stretched out u quarter of q mile
in length, had nearly gained tho op-
posite shore, tho ice suddenly gave way
under them. Some trappers who were
eye-witqesses of the scene said It SEEM
cd rs If a trench had been opened In
the leo tho whole length of the column.
Some four or five hundred animals
tumblctl into the opening all.in heap.
Others foil In on top of them and sank
out Of sight in a twinkling: BY this
time tho rotten leo was breaking under
the still advancing herd. Tho trap
Pers say that In less than q minute the
whole body of buffalocs had been
precipftated into the river. They were
welged In so thickly that they could do
nothing but struggle for second and
then disappear beneath the cakes Of Ice
OF the swift current. Not beast In all
that mighty herd tried to escape, but
a solid phalanx they marched to their
fatal bath in the "Big Muddy" In
minute from the time the first leo broke
not a buffalO's head or tail was to be
seen. Possibly occurrences Of this sort,
in ancient tertiary times, helped to
thu l-ah In ~ ~R
found In the old lake beds of the great
West and elsewhere. In these deposits
the earth Is literally crowded with the
bones, some times chiefly of ono type,
sometimes comprising many distinct
species. In the latter case the victims
were probably swept away by sudden
floods, their remains mingling con-
fslsedly In quiet basins.-iSc Scientific

Few people who SEQ bananas hang
ing In the shops Of fruit-dealers think
of them as moro than tropical luxury.
The fact Is, they are a staple article Of
food in some parts Of the world; and,
according to Humbolt, an acre Of bana-
mas will produce as much food for a
man as twenty-five acres of wheat. 1t
is the case with which bananas arc
grown that is the great obstacle to
civilization In some tropical countries.
1t is SO easy to obtain q living without
work that no effort will ever be made,
and the men become lazy and shtfticss.
All that is needed is to stick n sucker
into the ground, and 1t will at once
sprout and grow, and ripen its fruit In
twelve or thirteen months without fur
ther care, each plant having from rs to
l25 bananas; and when that dies down
after fruiting, now suckers spring up to
take its place. In regions where no
foot ever reaches, bananas are found In
all stages Of growth, ripcning their
fruit every day and every month In the
year.

that this recommendation should re-

imprisonment. This law was framed
and advocated by the late Col. Alston
killed by Ed. Cox. 1t is now stated
that Cox will probably be the first man
to take advantage of the law.
