The force OF men at work on the Denver Il

than the United States army" The speaker
was cx governor Hunt, who had just returned
to Denver from Old Mexico.
How many men are therey" asked Trb.

More than 80 600" returned the governor,
laconically. NEARLY 10000 of this number
are at work IN Old Mexico. There are 5000
or 1000 IN New Mexico, 5000 or 5000 in this
state aud the remainder are scattered through
Utah aud other localities where We are now
doing work.
DO you find any hindrances to your work
from the people IN Old Mexico," asked the
reporter, remem bering that several correspond
ents from the old country mad recently said
that the natives were suspicious Of all new
railroad enterprises.
"The only hiudranCcs we find are III not get

right, but timber is so scarce that we have to
transport all our ties from louisiana or Florida

at has been said by one of the correspond.
ents who was with Grant that the people of
Mexico were not favorable to the United States
railroad invasion - suggested the reporter.
There Is no truth in it ut ALL" answered
governor Hunt shortly That was almost
likely said to hurt our road. IA ! said before,
the leading men want the road, the government
is glad that it is coming, and why should the

PARIS, France, July Is, 1881.
The Paris bourgeois is seen at bis best when
getting ready for a great fes,ivity AT ordina
ry timts, when engaged in his habitual pur
suits, he is apt to display certain amount OF
easy indifference, n tendency to pass away the
hours only too carclessly, but give him an op
portunity of exhibiting the decorative talent
supposed to be natural to all Frcnchmcn, ana
he at once puts his heart and soul into the
task. The sudden change in the aspect OF the
streets of Paris since yesterday is a proof OF
this generalization. Hardly any but official
buildings had then received their display OF
shields, flags, banners and ornamental drapery
To-day the whole network of streets between
the exterior boulevards and the river Is gay
with bunting of every size, color and design
and scarcely house but exhibits some sign
of the occupants taste and patriotism, The
denseycrowded quarter about the Bastille
offers a most striking example of the energy
with which the middle lower classes of the
capital are best on celebrating the grea, revo
ly looks upon itself as III birthplace of the
lightly events that ga, rise TO the national
feast day, and It's inhabitants appear anxious
that the fact should not DC lost sight Of The
activity displayed Is truly wonderful Shops
