There are few families in the East
whose members have not, to certain
extent, caught the gold fever, as they
read glowing reports of the marvellous
finds and fortunes realized by the hardy
pioneers who first investigated the min
ing fields of Leadville, Arizona and New
Mexico. 1t is now safe to predict that
the influx of people into Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona during the coming
season will be enormous, and the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad,
the favorite route, which, in order
to accommodate this travel, have
already been running three through
express trains daily, with through
cars, between Chicago, Council
Bluffs, Omaha, st. Joseph, Atchi-
son, Topeka, and Kansas City, in
order to supply the immense demand
find it necessary to put on new fast
train with through cars between Chica-
go and Kansas City, leaving Chicago at
1870 noon, reaching its destination
twenty hours, making in all four through
express trains daily, a greater number
of trains than any other line west from
Chicago This is the popular and cele-
brated dining-car line.

4 FORTUNE FOR TWENTY-EKTE
CENTS.

All the WORKOUT and mutilated legal
tender notes come to the treasury for
redemption. After new notes are issued
in their stead, the old notes are de-
stroyed by the process of maoeraion.
This process includes the introduction
of chemicals in the mass OF notes, which,
by the aid of steam are reduced to 81
pulp very much smaller in volume than
the original notes. This pulp is of q
gray-whitish color it has heretofore
been thrown away. An enterprising
young man in this city has had an idea
on this subject, however, and is work
ing it out. He has taken the pulp, and
Is modelling it into different shapes.
When dried the pulp assumes a light
consistent form. Dogs, cats, bells, and
all animals and everything else almost
are reproduced. Out of the destruction
of $1,000 1000 in notes, he modelled a
bulhrog of heroic size $4,000 goes to
make q mouse $4,000 into paper
weight, and so on through the list. He
sells these "pieces of art" at 30 cents
each. One can, for that amount, pur-
chase at least what was once q million
or more Of dollars in the currency Of the
land.-SdUa'anah (Ga) Nes1s.

SPONGE RCLOIHING.

a New York contemporary states that
Berlin inventor has patented a new
kind of cloth, which consists principally
or entirely of sponge. The sponges are
first thoroughly beaten with q heavy
hammer, in order to crush out all the
mineral and vegetable impurities SO that
they can be easily washed out. They
are then dried and pared, like potato,
with sharp knife, the parings being
sewed together. The fabric thus OBJ
tanned is free from all the danger which
sometimes arises from the absorption of
poisonous dyes into the system; it alb
Serbs without checking the perspiration,
so as to diminish the danger of taking
cold it is bad conductor, and there
fore helps to maintain uniform surface
temperature; it can be more readily
cleansed than the ordinary WOODEN gar
ments; its fexibility dirninishes the
liability of chatting the ease with which
it can be employed in shoes, stockings,
underwear, hat Innings and other ar
ticles Of clothing seems likely to make
it especially useful as a protection
against rheumatic and pulmonary at
taoks.-H0tters' Gazette

cloud of dust. Rifles are held ready for
a shot. and the children climb up in the
heavy wagon-wheels to see the strange
procession gallop past.
Here they come! Crack ! crack
crack from three rifles, and shout as
each bullet tells. Next instant shaggy
head, followed by q dust Drowned body,
rushes through the camp. Then another
and another. The men shout and wave
their arms-the women and children
turn paler yet.
The roar and din shut out every other
sound, and the wagons jar and tremble
with the conclusion. Now another
shaggy head-another-half dozen-a
score-a hundred-a great living wave
which sweeps along with the power of a
tornado, followed by others more fierce
and strong, and the camp is blotted off
the earth more completely than by any
power of Heaven. Nothing to be seen
no shout to be heard. Wave followed
wave across the spot-ove the bank
into the stream and across, and when
the last of the herd has passed the
keenest hunter can find nothing on that
spot of wood or iron or cloth or bone or
flesh to prove that dozen men, women
and children were there wiped out of
existence and reducedt to shred and dust.

KrTE-FLY1NG EXTRAORDINARY.

Kite-fying is an expensive recreation
in Bodie. A saloon-keeper of that min
ing center recently made kite of o
$500 plate glass, 6x10 bar-room mirror,
tying it to string Of demijohns and
brown jugs for G tail. The novel kite
went up with a rush, and, rejecting the
rays of the sun, dazzled the eyes of all
who beheld it. Its focus extended as
far as Mammoth, where g hay-stack was
set on fire by concentration Of the suns
rays. The inhabitants of the latter
place were greatly alarmed at the singu
lar object in the heavens, one CORE
spondent having compared it to ga ball
Of condensed lightning" Unfortunate
ly the saloon-keeper's stock of jugs and
demijohns was not large enough to sup
ply the necessary oounterpoise to the
heavy mirror, and, after ascending to a
great height, with amazing rapidity, it
suddenly turned and fell with crash to
the earth, breaking it into a thousand
fragments. The whistling of the wind
in the jugs and demijohns made a pecul-
lar sort of music, the stone jugs sup
plying the bass and the glass demijohns
the treble. It happened that they
were all IN accord, and fine harmony
was the result.-iS9. Louis Post-Dis-
