Pueblo, Colorado-Growth oil
the Place, Its Climate, etc.

A recent letter from Pueblo, Color
ado, gives these points respecting the
towns Oh both sides of the river
Good to best business lots only from
one hundred to five hundred dollars
per foot (residence lots are cheap in
comparison, ranging from ten to sixty
dollars per foot; brick in the wall
costs $13 per thousand, and stone 81 IS
perch lumber is worth from $25 TO
$50 per thousand, and mechanics
labor is about twenty per cent higher
than in Dubuque. So improved prop
erty is worth something here, but
there is demand for it and rents are
comparatively higher. Why this is so,
or how long it will last is a mystery
to me. 1t seems as though men come
here to engage in business just for the
glory of the thing, as from what 1 have
seen and heard, there is not a branch
of trade in the retail line that is not
fully represented, and the grocery
business seems overdone. So, while
these towns both have the geographi-
cal position and railroad advantages
to make large commercial and man
ufacturing city, and become the
metropolis of Colorado, I think that
everything in the way of its future
growth and Importance is fully anti
cipated by anumber of their capitalists
for at least the next three years, al d
that property and rents re now high
enough for city of population of
fifty thousand people, which depends
on comparatively nothing but min.
ing country for support. 1 must say l
do not admire the climate of Pueblo,
and it is said to be as good as any in
Colorado. The difference between
shade and sunshine is too great, and
dust storms are altogether too frequent
particularly during this and next
month. The dust is almost as impal-
pable and penetrative as the air, and
no doubt is largely composed of aIkall.
1t is very disagreeable anyway, and
about every third person you see here
is more or less troubled with the
sniff1es. My ears and nasal portfolios
were pretty well plugged with it be.
fore I left, and my eyes were as blear
and bloodshot as an old toper's, but |
was "roughing it, and exposed my
phiz to the most heavily charged
breeze. 1 also think it bad climate
for nervous diseases, and yet while
high attitudes are known to be unfav-
orable for putting on flesh there are
many corpulent persons here who
came to the place as lank and lean as
picture of famine; and the children,
as a rule, are the latest and sauciest
(self-reliant [ mean) I ever saw.

The Dispensary.

THE SEEDS OF DIsEAsE.-Most
people think bad smells prolific of in
lection, and carrion and decaying
matter generally to be breeders of dis
ease. Some are quite satisfied when
the foul air is deodoriZed, quite un
aware that the infective particles may
remain the same.
But we must not mistake here.
Our success in battling with epidemics
will depend on our getting the exact
truth in the case.
Liberia soon becomes the grave of
every white man that goes there to
stay; but the keenest scent detects
nothing of the malaria in the atmos
phere.
All may he fragrance and beauty
where yellow fever is decjmating the
population. 1t was the finest part of
Chicago that was ravaged b, scarlet
fever, while the other parts were
almost exempt. Diphtheria has of
late years had proportionally more
victims in the mountainous regions
Massachusetts than in Boston and our
larger cities.
The fact is, infectious diseases come
of germs just as truly as the products
of our fields come of the seed sown.
These germs are almost infinitely
small, but their mature plants-they
are strictly vegetable-have the power
to multiply at an almost infinite rate.
Each disease has il own gem. Small
pox cannot come from typhoid germs;
nor measles from scarlatlna; nor vel
low fever from cholera-and so uni
versally. They must come each from
its own seed, as much so as wheat,
corn, the apple, elm or oak. They
cannot come without seed, for science
knows of no spontaneous generation.
But the seeds of higher order require
good soil and other favoring condi-
tiens. 1t is equally so with the SEE DIS
Of disease. Their choicest soil is filth,
and their is no other favorable condi-
ton equal to depressed state of
ones physical system-whetl,er de
pressed by bad food, impure air, SEN
sual indulgence. long continued anx
iety, fear watching or undue fasting.
