 Sunday afternoon young American four year.old was seated on the curbstone oppo- site the parental gate, turning big bug over upon it's back with stick as often as it struggled to it's understanding. Along came two little girls who stopped and watched the performance for thoughtful moment, then one of them opened the following dia- logue: ''Have you been to Tundy cool today? ?' s'Naw." sDen I dess syL NL when you die you'll wake up and be burned up alive.

There is always a Sir Charles Coldstream at such sublime points who sees nothing in it, and so upon this occasion, when excitement was intense one imperturbable individual came to the plat form, gazed out for about a minute and re- turning to his seat began to read.

 We reached Alamosa at 9 D. m. ,and finding the stage full must lie over until the follow ing night. We seek the Perry House, the best hotel in the place. In the morning we look about us and meet the most charming scene that the eye will dwell upon in Colo. rado. At the east the Sangre de Christo range, the most symmetrical and regular chain of mountains on the continent, having the Sierra Blanca, IA, 400 feet high as it's summit, towering up subhmely, the queen mountain of the State. Its rival, the Un- compaghre, is but little higher by some claimed none. The sunrise view of this beautiful range from the plain beyond Alamosa twenty miles is & memory We continue to go up until summit, 9,486 feet, is reached, where is a station, the high est on the continent. We are now in the clouds. From here we descend at a speed that is rather uncomfortable when we think of the course, and sigh of relief is offered up when level is reached. Alamosa is the present terminus of the road It is being pushed forward very rapidly, it's objective point being San Juan. One hundred and thirty-eight miles have been laid to this date, to within twenty eight miles of Animas City. From Alamosa we take the stage at eleven at night for Lake City, one hundred and twenty miles distant. It is a very contracted, uncomfortable vehicle, and the night and day to the second night pass wearily despite the perfection of the noun tain scenery, lake, valley and river scenery, exciting our keenest interest and enthusiasm.

Fifteen Years of orDreadru1 Suffering.

Fifteen Years of Dreadful Suffering.
 The Chicago Tribune publishes the follow ing heartrending story of human suffering which came under the notice of a Louisville
 physician. It was of young man, who, at
 the breaking out of the war, enlisted and
 fought under the confederate banners. In
 the terrible warfare about Nashville he was
 exposed to the rains and colds, and contract
 ed infammatory rheumatism, from which he
 never recovered and which caused his resiR-
 nation. He returned to his home miserable
 creature, and never was able afterwards to
 walk For 15 long years he was dying as
 slowly and surely, and with as much torture
 the most refined cruelties human inven-
 tion might have produced Moments became
 hours, and hours became ages of suffering
 Imagine these tortures prolonged through 15 years of time, every year dragging out like a century, and you can picture to yourself what his life was. Opiates? Of course, opiates were administered, but the very immunity which opium gave added another horror when it was withdrawn. He was kept under it's influence much as possible. In nine years he had lost every power of muscular effort, and sat in his chair living corpse, only to be moved to his bed, where he be- came mummy with the spark of life still glowing. So he sat, year after year, with his muscles fixed in iron. Fixed and rigid. the poor boy was sphinx, endowed with life and deprived of movement. Every joint in his body became ossifed by the chalky deposits, and not even a movement that provoked deathless agony became possible. Even the joints of his neck became rigid, the fingers stiff and the limbs petrifed. He was stone frame, with covering of flesh and the soul of living man. The muscles of the eye even failed, and, the lids falling upon the weak balls, shut in forever the darkness that hung about him like the gloom of the grave Then came, with the same step of measured eterni- ty, the justification of the joints of the jaws and he was fed between the rigid teeth How slowly death moved cannot be described, but when the inflammation had seized his heart in that last prolonged spasm, nature no long. CT could give warning of it's agency. What tortures took place under the drawn curtain of that human mystery can no more be told than the secrets of those horrors in the lowest dungeons of the inquisition.

The s'war'' upon lotteries in New York city inaugurated by Governor Cornell has not been much of a. success thus far The police arc more active than formerly in making arrests, but the discharges follow close upon their heels. Lotteries flourish as if nothing had happened, and newspapers continue to break the law with impunity, and publish lottery advertisements just as if there was not a positive statute prohibiting it under a severe penalty. The Journal of Commerce calls this state of things scandal indeed, :" and says: s'The police authorities and the District Attorney seem to treat the Cover nor's order as if it was joke. They humor him by making returns, as desired, of all the statistics they possess. But they are not lifting finger any more than before for the actual suppression of lotteries and lottery ad vertising in this city. What powerful influ- ence protects these violators of the law? That is as dead secret as ever. But we hope there is one public servant in this State proof against an influence so enervating at police headquarters and the District Attorneys of fee.

Prof Mears of Hamilton College gives in the New York Independent some interesting information concerning the Oneida commu- nifty and it's founder. It seems that for years back there has been growing up among the younger and more intelligent members of the community @ hatred of the Moves doc Urine. Last year this minority became so de- termined and powerful that Moves was com pelled to announce reform of the obnoxious system of sexual relations. The old man-for he has now nearly reached the allotted three-s score years and-ten-got into such a panic over his personal safety that he even fled by night to Canada. Last spring he set up housekeeping on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, his friends remaining at Oneida furnishing him the funds His legal wife soon stole to his side, bringing for further comfort three or four loyal younger women, and it is said that the venerable fanatic proposes to re-estab- fish on Canadian soil the institution of "com- plex marriage" so ruthlessly broken up in New York. Meanwhile, although the major ity at Oneida may be loyal to Moves, they live in such wholesome fear, either of the disso- lution of the community or of criminal in- dictment upon the ready testimony of the resolute dissenting element, that they dare not proclaim return to the old practices.
