Eli Perkins Uncle.

Chowder lives in North Denver.
He is relative of Eli Perkins and q
rival of Sergeant O'Keef. These facts
would have been anticipated by the
reader had he first read the following
communication to The Great Vest
from Chowder, headed s'Colorado
Zephyrs. :" He says: -
The wind began to rise the other
day and it continued to elevate until
it reached an altitude which would
compare favorably with a cow boy
after having Incorporated about four
gallons of Denver whisky. Well, af-
ter about three days of a spree, the
wind got out of breath and retired
from business, and the next morning
when l went out to take view Of the
corpses which are usually lying
around in the way after such. q
breeze, 1 was filled with holy wrath
and indignation upon beholding the
posts of my beautiful yard fence as
bare as q possum's tail. 19E
But my astonishment was unbound
ed when found all the boards lying
on the ground sat the bottom of the
tposts in state OF perfect preserva-
tion-not single board having been
broken. S@wg1 @~YRE !

with the intention of drawing all of
the nails andfeplacins the boaeds, and

Now, what 1 am about to relate as
la ssient1tc fact may appear incredible
lto asose who are ignorant Of natural
PHILOSOPHY or inclined to be skepticsl,
lbut the wheel Of progress cannot be
clogged by ignorance.
| Upon close examination I found
that the wind had driven the-aail:
elsan thfoaghthe boards and counter
Istnk them in the, posts. leaving tht
boards entirely detached from tht
Iposts, but they were held in thei
places for three days, until the wint

A Peck Of Puppies.

Tfoih Tue ~. LOUIS tHfphicit
A most remarkable freak of nature
has been the topic of discussion In
the southern part Of the city for the
past two days. Madge, beautiful
brown hunter owned by Andy Wig
gins, who keeps saloon at the corner
of Columbus and Carroll streets, dis
tinguished herself two years ago by
producing litter of % puppies, all
of which are living and prospaous.
On Sunday last she went into retire
ment with an expression on her bright
countenance which indicated deter
mination to beat the record, and IN
the course of few hours tiny little
Madges were arranged around her in
such profusion as TO warrant the belief
that there were at least an hundred If
them. Madge greeted all comcrs with
an expressions Of pride, and seemed
to realize that she was entitled to n
deal of credit. Tellers were appoint
ed and a canvass of the returns
showed total of 43 puppies, oil well
formed, but none larger than big
fat mice. Unfortunately all hut sew
en- of them were dead. These seven
are now thriving, and hope soon to he
AS big as rats. Madge holds Ievees
at all hours of the day, and is perfect
| ly good natured under the caresses Of
people who come from all parts Of the
city to see her. She is only ten years
: old. There is rumor that the other
parent. when he heard the news on
! Sunday ran and jumped into the
] river.
Ex-Mayor Bassford. of this city,
was in st. Louis at the time, and saw
this remarkable swarm of pnppies.
