Mr. IierYiot was sitting inshis Of

handed him small slip of paper. Il

poor man, who lived in the next
square.
"Tell Mr.. Grant that | will settle
this soon. 1t isn't convenient to-day"
Now, Mr.. Herriot had five dollar
bill In his pocket, but he felt as if he
couldn't part with it. He didn't like
to be entirely out of money. So act
ing from this impulse, he had sent
the boy away. Very still sat Mr.
Herriot tor the next five minutes.
Yet his thoughts were busy. He was
not altogether satisfied with himself.
The shoemaker was poor man, and
needed his money as soon as earned.
He was not unadvised Of the fact.

He unused still further
The fact is," he at last exclaimed,
starting up, "its Grants money, and

have it,"
So saying, Herriol took up his hat
and left the office.

the shoemaker in depressed voice.
A woman was sitting in Grants
shop when the boy came in she had
now risen and was leaning on the
counter; a look of disappointment
was in her face.

Grant. 81 was sure of getting the
money from him. He never dissap-

The woman looked troubled as
well as disappointed. Slowly she
turned away and lett the shop. A
few inmates after her departure Her
riot came il, and after some words
OF apology paid the bill,
"Run and get this bill changed"
said the shoemaker TO his boy, the
moment his customer had departed.

qualities, as is fully sttested by the thous-
ands ofinvalids who have tried them and
found relief Their medicinal virtues were
accidentally discovered on the 4th Of July,
1879. A family went into camp there ST.
tracted by the picturesque surroundings and
the deightfully clear and cool water that
gushed forth from the rocks. The man Of
the family was confirmed rheumatic, and
to his astonishment he began to improve
before he was there n week. At the end of
a month he was completely cured. This
wonderful discovery was not long IN being
noised abroad, in a short time hundreds
from all directions wended their way 10 this
Mecca Of fe-giving waters. 1t is not claim
ed that these waters will cure all the Ills

Gov. Long, of Massachusetts,, is level
headed. He disapproves of the gift of $780,
900 which the New York Chamber OF Com
merce is endeavoriug to raise for President
Garfield S family. In speech the other day
he wisely remarked"that no Chief Executive,
whether of the Nation or of State, should
accept gift from favored few, because it
would have u tendency to place the Execu-
tive under some obligation to the giver." All
sensible persons will concur in this opinion
Gen. Grant set the fashion for this sort OF a
thing, when he too eagerly accepted every
thing Of value that was rendered him by
place hunters. We have seen the result IN
his case. Men whom fortune had favored
with thousands of dollars, which they could
toss about promiscuously, cheerfully added
their subscriptions to increase the gratuities
that Grant cheorfullY received, and were re-
warded by him with official positions, for
which they we're about as well fitted as a
chestnut burr is for an eyestone.

COLORADO.

Mn. II. V. MoRTHIMgR.-DEAR SIR: l
herewith hand you few lines in answer to
a great many inquiries, by letter, to lae in
reference to the climate, health and crops Of
the State of Colorado, and also what can be
claimed for the Centennial State. About
one-third of the l0S,9l2 square miles this
state contains is prairie lands, lying east of
the base of the Rocky Mountains, the other
two thirds are mountainous, with parks and
small valleys sandwiched in between the
mountain ranges this State has vast re-
sources inexhaustble mines OF gold, silver,
iron, coal, copper, etc. The broad plains,
upon which roam millions of cattle, sheep
and horses, her dense forests and lofty noun
tains, mineral and medicinal springs, grand
canon and magnificent scenery, genial eli
mate and whole souled people, these cannot
be described in short letter but must be
seen to be appreciated.
The climate is dry and very healthy I;
diseases common in the older States are un-
known here. Pulmonary complaints are
either eradicated from the system Of nvalds
who resort to this country, or the disease be-
comes SO modified that the sufferer enjoys a
marked improvement in health within the
last few years numerous hot springs have
been discovered in various parts of the State,
which ure admitted to possess great medicin-
al qualities, particularly for the cure of rheu-
matism and kindred diseases. haYe seen
people come to Poneho Springs helpless with
rheumatism, and leave perfectly cured in
weeks. In some counties Of the State irri-
eating canals, carrying large streams of water
taken out of the mountain rivers Lear the
mountain bases, have been built, extending g
for so miles or more over the plains, from
which small bitches conduct the water over
the fields of the farmer, thus insuring good
crops. Irrigation is necessary on nearly all
tillable land in the State. Wheat yields
from 80 to so bushels per acre, vegetables Of
all kinds do well in most parts of the State
where the land is supplied with water coal
is abundant all over the State, at Durango
on the Aninias River, in La Plata county, a
coal vein crops out near the town ninety
feet in thickness. The coal found is mostly
bituninous and is harder and brighter than
most OF the coal found in other regions; q

1t is notorious, despite the regulation
forhidding more than one member Of a fami-
ly TO hold Office, that there are scattered
through the various Departments at Wash
iugton as many as three, four, five and even
six members oI family disguised under
different names. 1t is shame and an out
rage. But they are protected by mysterious
influences and 10 effort is made to oust them.
All through the public service This system
of nepotisin is taking deep root. Secretary
Hunt has three sons handsomely provided
for, while Mr.. Blaine's son is Third Assist
ant Secretary of State. These are conspieu-
ous examples. 1t is about time this sort o.
ahing should be stopped. BIlleting whole
family on the public may be a good thing
for the family, but ii is something the coun,
try at large protests against.

Assistant District Attorney Beeche

Assistant District Attorney Beecher, Of
New York, ia a son of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, the distinguished divine, ond he
seems u inherit some of the susceptibility OF
his father. On Tuesday a charming young
lady. accompanied by two men, visited his
office aud offered bail for a notorious swind-
Ter, whom she claimed was her father She
was winsome Of manners and shed many
tears. Mr.. Beecher was moved. Whether
it was the tears or the woman's beauty that
moved him, we cannot say, but he accepted
as bondsman one Of the companions Of the
alleged daughter, and the swindlereNas re-
leased. The bond proved 10 be worthless
An inpressionable young man, like Mr.
Deecher, would hardly come up to the re-
quired standard for District Attorney of thii
country, though he may fill the bill in New
York.

Prof. Swift. Director Of the Warne

Prof. Swift, Director Of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, n. Y, has just verified
the discovery of another comet, in The Con-
stellatioh of Auriga, made July 18th, by
Prof J. NJ. schaeberle, of Ann Arbor, Mich.
This new comet is apparently coming direct
ly toward the earth, and, for telescope
comet, is very bright indeed, it can readily
be seen with good opera glass. 1t is quite
remarkable that it should be in just the
spot where the present large comet was first
seen by the naked eye in this latitude, and
it shows that the two bodies must have cross
ed each others paths. This maEes the fourth
comet discovered within ten weeks, a cir
cumstanec heretofore unknown in history.
Prof Schaeberle has duly fled his applica-
tion for the Warner prize of 5000, and as yet
he is the only claimant:
