rY- In an essay written by Guiteau, several
years ago, he remarked that men ought not to
perform acts of charity with the expectation of
receiving thanks. If his act of assassination was
one of charity, as he would like the world to be-
lieve, he has certainly not been disappointed in
the matter of thanks.

The Highland Central State still keeps
yelling for n Democratic County Convention,
and asks why one is not called; then it proceeds
to give the correct answer. 1t is simply because
one or two of the Democratic managers want
Office. They want to hold off until after the Re-
publican Convention, when they expect to pick
up enough sore-head Republicans to run for most
of the Offices, as bait to entice Republican
votes to ticket on which they propose to figure
for a couple of the fattest offices. But never
mind it will not pan ont.

IT is said that "Brick" PomerOy,
the somewhat noted editor, founder
AID publisher of the 'LaCrosSe
Damocrat," afterwards of "Pome-
rows Democrat" daily and weekly,
of New York, is "flat broke" out IN
Colorado. He is howe, e. President
of a successful mining company that
may pu, him on his feet again, hnan-
ciailv. His lucky mining specula
tions since coming west few years
ago quite turned his head, and led
him, always extravagant, into such
lavish expenditures that he hnds
himself stranded once more. His
ilcome has at times been enormous,
but his extravaganza proves too
much even for the most marvellous
luck. Quick witted, brilliant wri
ter and especially adapted to literary
pursuits, his fame might have been
very great if he had only been bless
ed with better judgment. dis abil
tiles, instead of running too far into
blackpuardism and shallow nonsense
would, if harnessed to single lofty
purpose and kept in steady strain
by a clear Judgment, have wrought
wonders. As it was, his course was
always erratic. From the extreme
of violent, even secesh democracy,
he drifted off into the greenback
craze, and finally into mining specu
lations. He has amassed and spent
two or three coed sized fortunes, and
built up several newspapers which,
though vigorous, were short-hved
He is a most voluminous writer, and
his books, novels, &c, written at a
time when he had the editorial labor
of large daily and weekly paper
to accomplish, with all the exacting
details connected herewith, bespeak
prodigious labor and an iron consti
tuition. He is reported to be man
of regular, temperate habits, with
none OF the prevalent small vices of
the average business man-and in
this fact, together with his remarka
Bile mental vitality and versatility,
mainly lies the hope of his friends.
The present report may be bat one
of the many sensational yarns so fire
quently started concerning MIN, but
we do know that his fortunes have
varied greatly. He is seldom out
of journalism entirely, and is at this
time editor and nominally y half own
er of the "Great West" large pa
per founded by him. He has a resi-
dence nearly completed which will
be the finest in Colorado. Always
operating upon a large scale, his on
ly fault, financially, is i'll overreach-
ing.

$1,000 for telegraph line from Port

adds that the construction of these
lines, being importan, to the com

is we'll to secure Lhe co operation OF
