The Fourth at the Penitentiary.

Ino fOufIn at Inc RellteHIlafy
Ga Monday the Fourth vas cele-
brated q! the Penitentiary in fine
style. The stars and stripes Aoated
from a tall pole on the north west cor
DER OF the Penitentisry wall, which
was surfnoun.ed by a genuine live
eagle. The exercises took place in
the southeast corner, the high wall
protecting from the sun. Eli
Lee presided in really fine style, and
opened the exercises with e nea. little
address, mentioning the Disadvantages
under which they were celebrating
the day, but Gdjuring his hearers to
regard it none the less, and TO re.
member that 10 the Lord they owed
all tue blessings they received. Geo.
Reynolds, Esq, opened with q prayer
and also read the Declaration of In
dependence, after which Hector s
Wiener delivered an orati0u. which
was very weil put together and deliv.
cred 10 good sty lie; but he lost coun-
tenance with many of his hearers in
an attempt st the humorous towards
the close, when be stated that instead
OF the eagle being the emblem of this
government, it would be more appro-
priately represented by a mule. The
exercises lasted about an hour and
the 6fty-four inmates enjoyed them
greatly.
General Butler then served the boys
with fine dinner, in which good
mutton and splendid fruit cake
formed prominent part, and the
prisoners did ample justice, first eat
ing to themselves and then in honor
of the occasion.

A Bit Of Romance In Colorado.

the fancy of some OF the young la
dies from the Eastern States, who
are touring it through Colorado or
are visiting there. One bright and
pretty girl from the East Tell vio-
lently in love with one of these
rovers, and to gain favor in his
eyes, and seem a little nearer his
ideas, she purchased q fiue
bronco, scarlet saddle cloth,
and over her handsome dark green,
gold.buttoned habit she wore q
gold-mounted leather belt, TO
whicn was attached q sbeathed
knife with a guarded hilt. In the
band of her derby hat she wore u
lighter knife that glistened when
she rode. ALTERED in this briganj-
lsh habit she WAS happy, and open
ly expressed her admiration and
love for this noted desperate. "He
could and would protect u woman's
honor with bis very llfe." she lisp

IT'S passing strange that for four

pect the honesty of the vote ia the
