Gunnison City and the Present Fine Out
 look.

OuhhisOu City anu the fFes6nL F1n6 Out-
 look.
 Gunnison City (Col.) Cor. Cincinnati Gazette
 Gunnlson City isthe capital of Gunni- son county. The county is 150 miles long east and west, and 100 north and south. Prof Hayden's prediction that in Gunnison county would be found the richest mineral deposits in the world have been more than verified by the dis coveries made here in the last year. Silver is found here in carbonates the same as in Leadville, also in Galena- ruby silver and black carbonates in coal. Ore has been shipped from this county that has sold at the smelter's for $1l per pound. The city is new. It now has about twenty-five houses and 200 people. It is situated in the center of the richest mineral deposits in the world, on the west slope of the Rocky Mountains, on the east bank of the Gunnison River. Across the river, in sight of the town, the great coal fields of Colorado begin. They contain inexhaustible quantities of anthracite coal of as fine quality as that in Pennsylvania The hills around the city are full of silver, iron, lead, coal and stone, and in the valleys of the Gun nison and Grand rivers are the best agri- cultural lands of the State. The Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad will be here by next October. The county com missioners are building a fine brick courthouse.
 Merchants from Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and New York are now con tracting for stores, and this spring will see wholesale stores here in all the vari- ous lines. Governor Evans. the presi- dent of the D., s. P. and P. Railroad, is largely interested in the growth of this city and will make this point the termi- nus of the main line of the road, and here will be the shops as well as the rolling mills and furnaces. There will be from here a branch road to the north west and another to the southwest corner of the States, thus giving this city the trade of the vast mineral regions of the Elk Mountains, Grand River and San Juan counties, which will give the city population of from 10000 to 30,000 in the next two years. At least 60,000 men will visit the mining camps of this county this spring and summer; they are coming from every quarter of the globe, and why should they nos come? The tenderfeet, cowboys, tramps, miners and prospectors who came in last fall struck claims that they sold at from S1, 900 to $25, ,000, and the county has not yet been prospected. The cost of living here is about double of that in Cincin- nati, which will be reduced one-half as soon as the railroad gets over the range. Workingmen and mechanics of all trades, workers in wood, stone and metal are in great demand at from $3 to to $S per day; the railroad adyertises for 5000 men; the mining camps want men; carpenters and bricklayers are in specal demand.

A Profitable Cup of Water. Enrt Cpafth IIarai a

During the war our townsman, James r. Moore, on one occasion went out in front of our lines to give some water to a wounded Yankee, who was lying in helpless condition upon the grounds but lately occupied by the Federal forces, and from which they had recently been driven. The man was crying piteously for water, and the bullets were rattling around from both armies. Moore said he intended to risk the exposure to do the deed af mercy, and went out to him. 1t proved to be captain of Pennsyl- yania regiment, who was profuse with thanks, and offered Moore his gold watch, which the gallant Confederate declined. He begged for his name, that he might, if he survived the war, re- member him. This he wrote down in his memorandum book. The captain re- gently wrote here to know if Moore was living; said he was rich, but dying of consumption, and desired to provide for hlm in hls will. Mir. Moore wrote to hlm and received friendly letter in re- ply, telling him that there was $10,000 set apart for his use, to be paid in in- stallments of $2,000 each. The Federal officer has since died, and the other day the payment of S2,000 was received Truly, 'tis good to give even cup oi cold water in the right spirit."

HOME TOPICS.

To prevent glue from cracking when dry, add about one tablespoonful of gly- cerine to pint of the solution while il is hot.
 IT is sad that cockroaches may he driven away by putting a quantity oi Scotch or other high-dried snuff around their haunts.
 THE simplest and surest test for oleo- margarine is to heat the substance in a small toy frying-pan. Butter will gradu- ally get brown and smell nicely, even when beginning to burn black. Cleo. margarine will directly, if the heating continues, change from clear yellow fat to black, and emit all the while an odor familiar to those who live near fat fac tory.
 Mas. D. M. k. sends receipe for dye ing black, which she has used nearly for twenty years with success. In an iron vessel put warm water enough to cover fifteen yards of dress goods. In this diSolve four ounces extract ot logwood, two ounce blue vitrol, one ounce cop peras. Wet the goods thoroughly and put them in the dye. Let simmer slowly and stir often until they are dark enough then wash in strong soap suds two or three times and rinse until the water is clear. Press while damp. If the goods look rusty the dye is too strong. Bright cashmere dresses may be colored by this dye and make up as nice as new.
 How shall I restore the color to my flannels?" is question often asked by housekeepers whose clothes have been ruined by the bad treatment of indolent, incompetent washerwomen. A solution of one and one-half pounds of white soap and two-thirds of an ounce of spirits of ammonia, dissolved in twelve gallons soft water, will impart beautiful and lasting whiteness to any flannels dipped into 1t, no matter how yellow they may have been previous to their immersion. After being well stirred round for short time, the articles should be taken out and well-washed in clean cold water. For washing black or navy blue linens, the following re- ceipt is sad to be an excellent one: Take two potatoes grated into torpid soft water (after having them washed and pealed,) into which a teaspoonful of am monia has been put. Wash the linens in this, and rinse them in cold blue wa ter. They will need no starch, and should be dried and ironed on the wrong side. It is said that an enfusion of hay will preserve the natural color in buff linens, and an infusion of bran will do the same for brown linens and prints.

Capturing Turkoman Women.

The capture of the Turkoman women by the Persian Governors is one of the great crimes of Persian rule in the dis tricts east of the Caspian sea- "An or der," says Major Butler, of the British army, lis sent to one or more of the Governors of those districts to the effect that no presents have been forwarded to the Shah by them of late, and if they do not immediately dispatch substantial gifts another Governor will be found to replace them. The distracted Governor, who has already robbed his own people wistfully turns his eyes and thoughts to his rich neighbors-thc Turkomans. Forthwith he organizes an expedition, and sends forth spies to acertain at what point are encamped the greatest number of Turhoman women and horses and the smallest number of men. This being as- certained, he starts at the dead of night, accompanied by his murdering robbers, and swoops down upon his unfortunate victims. Those Turkomans who are able to fight, or likely to give any future trouble, are ruthlessly murdered, and the old men, the boys, wives, daughters sisters are bound hand and foot and brought back into Persian territory Then commences scene disgraceful alike to humanity and morality The old women and infants are separated from the young and beautiful land many of the Turkoman women are very beau tifuD; every point of the latter is looked into and discussed by the men told oi for this purpose, just as the inteded pur. chaser of horse trots out the animal to examine him. Those possessing the best points are sent off to the Shah and other great men at Teheran. Those with some fault or other are kept by the Gov. ernor himself, and distributed among his favorites, high and low, his servants al ways being generously treated in the distribution of the human spoil. The horses and other stolen property are likewise disposed off. But what becomes of the old women and little ones? These are locked up until some Turkonan re lation can buy their release for f20 ol f25 each, and if thIs happy arrangement can not be effected they probably die o starvation. 1 could mention many startling instances of the above which have lately taken place. There is regular season for these expeditions, commenc. ing about April and ending about Octobern

"Them ere Mallards..
Madison find \ cou,,or

Three Madison boys who went to Corn creek duck hunting few days ago put out some decoy ducks and then built a blind of corn-stalks in which they con- cealed themselves. Alter waiting awhile they card a noise on the rear side of the blind, They were astonished the next moment to find two long rifle bar rels poked through the corn-stalks, They hustled out and found two native hunters, who, deceived by the decoys, were trying to draw beads on "them ere mallards.n

DON'T GO OUT MUCH.

Ella Wheeler, in poem, says there is Nothing New" Ella don't go out much. Fashion writers say there are seventy five new styles of spring bonnets, besides great many other new things.
 PIANoFoRE IN CHINA.
 Rumor has it that 'Pinaiore" has been done into Chinese, and the St. Lotus Spirt says perhaps it runs in this way: Me neble, neble thick ride on big pond" "Wassee, neble?" ''Ony lip, one thine, somethime."
 NO DEFAULTING.
 We shouldn't think 1t very profitable for sailor to board ship. It holds such a great quantity. But, after all, it can't tie its things up in pocket hand kerchief, and drop out the back window, defaulter to the amount of fraction of ton of hash.- Yonkers Stat@mdn.
 BOVINE ESSENCE.
 Please pass the butter, is obsolete. Allow the oleDmargarine to slide down this way" is now the "propah capah." ."- New Haren Register. Chuck me hunk of grease" is more expressive.-New York Express. "Circulatet the congealed bovine essence" has been used with effect h0cneSter EdpreSS.
 THE USES TO WHICH IT IS PUT.
 Oleomargarine has only one advantage that we ever heard of. If you don't wish to use it as butter-and the chances are pretty heavy that you don't-you have only to run a wick through it and use it for candles. It is also useful for chalking the bridge of the nose, in case of colds.-Puck.
 MANS ADVANTAGES.
 Running to fire is one of the undeni- able privileges of an American. Run he will. Andit dosen't make any difference whether he is lame in both legs, and wears a porous plaster and chest pro- tector he's bound to get to the fire. We mention this simply to show that men have some advantages over wemen.- Ner York Express.
 WORTH A FORTUNE.
 An Icelandic youth has written i've act tragedy entitled "Sigridur Eyyjaf- jordarsol." We have often wondered why some one didn't write a play thus entitled. It will be worth a small for tune to hear the young man who goes out between acts for cloves attempt to pronounce the name of the tragedy Norristolcn Herald.

 HOW IT WOULD RUN.
 contemporary says: "It school boys and school girls, who are able to write. will take about fifteen minutes each day to write up diary, they will find at the end of the year most interesting vol ume." Oh! very. The school boys would run something like this: January Kicked Bill Stubbs for trying to steal my top. January Put a crooked pm on Tom Jones' seat and made him jump. January 3-Master licked me for shying spit balls at the ceiling" And the school girls would read: "Jaunary Bought three cents worth of chewing gum. January 2-Lucy Pynch, the mean thing, didn't invite me to her party. January S-Charley Broughne walked home with me at noon. think he's just splendid!" They would make most interesting vol umes, indeed.-NorristoCn Herald.

 Alasl my son IS found at last; My long lost lIttle Robbie, Who in 1850 was My pleasure and my hobby.
