4 FEW days ag- the Star made rather reckless statement about who were the friends of Arizona in passing laws favorable to keeping up the price of silver, in which 1t sought to besmirch such men as Jones of Nevada and Hill of Colorado. The CITIZEN took occa- sion to puncture the false position of the Star upon the silver question, and now after four days of cogitatiOn over the obstuse problem, it comes out with the following: "The CITIZEN would have it's people believe it was a Demo- cractic president that vetoed the silver bill. and a Democratic Congress that demonetized silver" We beg leave to state that the CITIZEN has too much respect for the intelligence of its readers to attempt to convey any such false impression. The readers of the CITIZEN
 know that James Buchanan was the last of that race who signed as president, and that Democratic Congressmen have but a single idea on finance or money and that Is 10 cnt down appropriations for current expenses ono year, to toe made up in deficiency bill the next. That IS what they call tinancieriug. Neither are they particular about "the dollar of their daddy's,' but they do not forget the old fogy ideas of their daddies, and they are stIil for Jackson.

STRANGE CONCIDEYcEs.

\ Remarkable Narrativ. or Recent EycUt~
 oT Everyday Life.
 In the small town of Zeltz, la Pru-- sian Saxony, lived two women, Frau Schmidt and Fran Feustel, occupying adjoining rooms in the same house. ln February, 1881. each was made on the same day the mother or trplets, al bows. This was a decidedly curious coincidence In births. The Rev. Mr. Busch, of Wiuona, AlInu., wlase hyc children were al born on Sunday, la8 been the subject of newspaper pararraphs, but his case is less note worthy than that of a resident ui Mid dletowu. Conn, three of whose four children have the sama birthday l6. 4 less remarkable coincidence Is noted in the case of Mrs. William Ninuing, of Mount Auburn, O., who celebrated on one day the anniversary of her birth, of her wedding, and ot the birth of grandchll1. Why should ac- cident have ordained that the same company of mIustreis should have visited Washington OF the day that President dariieli was inaugrrated, on the day that his remains were borne ln state to the capitol, and on the day that the oratiOn was pronounced upon him by MT. Blaine?
 An odd coincidence was reported not long ago m these columns. Tn lS52 a fire destroyed the city of Kingston, Jamaica. On the day of the fire Aaron de Cordova was born. Aaron de Cor doya's grandfather was the first man on the island who erected building. After the fire. three months, ago, ln the same place, the present Aaron de Cor doya was the first man who erected a building It was a curious fate which ordained that the son of the Austrian Baron Carl von Hofer, aud Andreas Hofer's great-grandson, should perish bv q bullet discharged during rifle match being the fifth member of this distinguished family slam by such a wound. Three years ago one Lewis Hiltz, of Independence, Mo, killed Joseph Melody. but was acquitted on the ground of insanity. Two years later. on the same day and at the same hour, he received fatal sunstr0ke on the same spot where he committed the crime. Coiucidences relative to deaths are numerous fl not always very note worthy. On the 18th of Aprl lSS3, Edward Goss was buried st Troy, in this State, from the same house at which ln 1870, the same clergyman had buried his brother James. Both brothers GIed on the same day Of the month at tbe same hour.-New York World.

PIXIES PEAK.

\ Irainway Co be Built to the Summit.
 \ correspondent Of the Colorado Jour
 nal gives an interesting accout of the new tramway Go be built to the summit
 Ot PlEe's Peak. Visitors to Manitou
 will have the pleasure of visiting the
 peak three times a day as soon as the
 trsmway IS finished if they so desire.
 The people of Colorado Springs are at present stirred up and excited about the
 proposed construction of tramway
 10 the summit of Pike Peak for the more easy transportation Of visitors
 than the painful and tedious bronco ride now indulged in. This tramway is in successful operation in California fer distance of thirteen miles, and In 8 number of other places Tn the noun tains for a shorter distances, transport ing in buckets heavy weights of ore. Mr. HusOn's (the patenteel plaE IS to instruct three of these tramways, each nearly three miles long, one b ginning at the end of the other. The first will start from the rear of the iron spring at Manitou, and the last will be termln- able in front of the signal station on Pike's Peak, at an elevation Of i4.2OO feet. The supports will be made of trees not less than eight inches iD diameter and aoOut twenty-four feet high, braced above and below. On these an end less wire cable or one-inch wire viii revolve, and upon which will be fastened at intervals of aSOut one hundred feet each large, covered arm chair in which two persons can comfortably sit. This will be sus- pended about eight feet from the ground, and pass at entering and discharging points along a movable platform to load and unload without stopping. The low CT section will be propelled by sn engine at the lower end. The center one will bs driven by water power, utilized On the mountain side through a turbine wheel. and the third by an engine erect cd on the summit of the peak. When the engine is there erected and smoke escaping daily, 1t will be Tn appearance a reproduction of Mount Vesuvius, and lead credulous ~tenderfeet" to believe the story then to be told, that in Colo rado the enterprise of it's citizens makes volcanoes along with all their other won derful deeds This will pass over two foot shelves, run in a new patent mater ial of MT.

rHE friends of Philadelphia have been horrifed; William Penn's house on Letetia street was not long since turned into a rum-shop, and few days ago was torn down altogether. Tue -UlUau- brims" should have looked after the property instead of allowing it to fall into vulgar hands. They should bear in mind that this Is a free country, and that the owner of any particular piece of property has perfect right to tear down and build up if he sees it to do so. It Is rather sad to see such hallowed land marks pass away, but who is to blame: Then again We should bear in mind that such things must be, otherwise our towns and cities would present an ancient and diiapidated aspect indeed, as there Is scarcely an old house of any description that does not possess "reminiscences of some kind or other dear to some people; and while they may not have been occupied by Penn or Wash ington, they may have been occupied by good people well known in the com munity, whose old friends love the walls which held them. This Is an age of progress, the Yankee spirit Is abroad, and if there are these who desire to save the ancient landmarks, they must come forward and plank their money down for that purpose, and take such prop erty out of the hands of ordinary flesh, otherwise they will have to submit with. out a murmur, for no nan has a right to say to his neighbor stay thy hand
 when no law is violated.

EARLY MISTAKES OF YOUNG MEN.

How many young men of this town,
 and of every town, ,who start out on life's
 journey, working for a salary, fall into a
 habit ot living fully up to their income,
 and in not few instances spend all
 their salaries and actually run n debt?
 Young men must have associates, must
 form acquaintances. These associates
 are in most instances well-meauing
 young men, but their influence is not
 always good. They may live economically
 as far as board Is concerned, and they
 may think they economize In dress and
 other expenses. Some do: but if there is
 no money saved at the end ofthe month,
 no matter what the salary may be, there
 IS something radically wrong, and if
 such a state of affairs is continued for
 any great length of time. it amounts to
 about the same thIng as throwing the
 most valuable years of a young mans
 life away. Sacrifices must be made sooner or later if a young man would succeed in life, and they are easier made at the beginning than at any other time. It Is true that some young men live at their parents houses, and to q certain extent assist in meeting the current ex- Penses of the family; in such eases it could not be expected the young man could save money, unless the parents al- lowed him certain amount for his own use, over and above what Is needed to cover actual necessary expenses. Some thing should be saved out of each months wages; 1t IS sometimes very hard to do. and requires the closest economy and self-dsnial, but it must be done. No man can accumulate unless hls receipts are greater than his expendi- lures. lt Is not SO much, either, what man gets as what he saves. The young man who receives a salary of S7OO a year, and saves S3JO, is doing better than his neiEhbOr who receives S1,000 a year, and saves Sl0O. Young men should never spend money simply for show, or for the sake of having 1t said they are good fellows. There Is no use of being psuurious, but useless expenditure of money Is about the same as putting so much greenbacks into the fire; the re- 'Uits are about the same SO far as the is concerned
 Ten dollar a month, is a small amoInt .o lay aside each month, yet most young men can, and some very much more if they would only make up their minds to T. it. Ten dollars a month is S12O a 1 year, which, if put out at interest would l bring S2l.60 more to be added tO the l each year. Small as this may seem, five years of such savings, judici- |. ,usly invested or loaned out on good 1 security, would grow to about Sl,00O 1 ,ud nearly three times that sum in ten I fear-. Young men should not despise | .uch savings. Not one young man ont ] ,f twenty, lo SD we'll. Don't be in haste | iblut going into business; learn busi- hess before you embark n it. Forty | nen, out of every fifty young men who go int business before the age of thirty, ail. Strict business principles, and ] ia5its Of economy must be acquired be- ore the young man can hope for suc- ,ess.

Tine EncIe,s Wounded Mate.

The great American bird, observes an Idaho paper, IS under every condition b.rd altogether, but 1t usually hocks alone on Wood river, because its mates are as scarce as lady partners at pro -ramme ball. That eagles are birds Of prey is established by various stories 'u school readers, where they are shown Co have frequently carried off m m alz children, lambs, and other food ten times their own weight, and dlsappeared with them into dim space toward the summit of the mountains, where they store their grub for winter feasts- The largest bird of the eagle species are found in the Wood River mountains, and vet no mules, nor cows nor people have ever been carried away by them. The eagles of this country have often been known to omit devOurlng weakly rabbits and squirrels, and to have shown almost human kindness. An event which occurred ten days ago at Fosters ranch, above Hailey, fully establishes this trait of the Wood rIver variety. One of the rauchers saw huge eagle Hutter over the bgrn-yard, interested ID a fat turkey, and immediately secured his rItie. The first shot broke the eagles wing. and in it's crippled condition It wObbled and topped around, uttering creams ut pain. The man wRs watching the result before firing again, when he discovered another eagle coming from a stance. ft was evidently mate O: the first one. Like an arrow 1t flew tO the rescue, and examining it's wound and seeing that its mate could not escape, It took hold of 1t by it's claws and beak and flew Co the mountain side. where lt laio down the victim of the sport1ve hunter During the past seven days the men on Posters ranch have noticed each day that the mate carried food to the wound cd bird regularly, and IS yet feeding lt upon squirrels, rabbits, birds ana mlee- Nr Foster could kill the two bIrds any day, but has rrfralued on account ot the affection displayed between them A small American dag will be fastened abour the wounded bird, and when It agaiD flies i5 will carry the emblem of freedom with tt Co the highest mountain rps-
