GRAND ARMY REVIEW AT DENVER

The reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic at Denver is proving to be quite an affair, and notwithstanding the great distance of that city from the cen- ters O. population, it Is well patronized. But Denver can draw crowds better than almost any western city during The sum- mer season. It IS the first cIty in the west where the snow mountains can be seen towering above the plain. The al- titude of Denver affords q fair summer climate, while it is in easy reach of In- nnmerable mountain retreats by rail, where the wild sheep, elk, deer and bear may be successfully hunted, while the clear sparkling waters winch meander through the canyons and gulches are plentifully supplied with trout, and the dense forests abound with partridge, which afford an endless variety of sport to the huntsman and those Tn search of recreation. We have no doubt there are hundreds of young people now ID at- tendance at the reunion at Denver who never saw a mountain before coming west on this occasion. Americans, as a rule, are not recluses, but our country IS so large that inhabitants of the Mlssls- sippi valley may travel hundreds of miles without seeing a mountain; a hillock of one hundred feet in night 10 s'tincivat to excite the admiration and wonder in these plain dwelers. Hence a trip to Colorado and the Rockey noun tains has peculiar attractions to western people.
 The Denver Republican, of the 24th, with commendable enterprise issued a "Grand Army Supplement" which con- tains much valuable information to strangers; it tells them where to go in the mountains to see the wonderful. works of nature; the deep canyons with their tortuous narrow gauge railroads, which seem to be equal to climbing the highest mountains in Alpine America" the peaks themselves-snow-caped and grand, towering above the timber line like great seutinels of 'hberty enlightenIng the world" are vividly brought out in a series of wood cuts, which of themselves are sufficient to create a wandering spirit in an ArIzonan and make him long to "cast fly, or stalk for deer, along the bosom of the placid lake"

\ Fungus Hand.

The last of May, 1882, Simon Snyder
 who was working Tn blaming mill al Portsmouth. Ohio, had hls hand SO badly lacerated in the machinery that smputa- ton was necessary. There Is nothing uncommon about that, but hold your
 breath minute. The hand was buried in Mir. Snyder's garden. Two weeks after, upon the mound which the two- year-old daughter of the injured man mad made over the severed hand grew a small fungus-like plant III the exact, shape of the human hand. The Ports month tO.) Blade of June 10, called at tentiOn to the wonder, and gave a full description of 1t. Hundreds of citizens visited Mr. Snyder to see this freak of nature. All are interested. Those who tried to understand it were mystified, and the superstitious were sure Is was some portent of evll. Mir and Mrs. Sny- der removed to Conesville, Louisa coun- ty, Iowa, two months ago, and brought the fingers with them, preserved ID alco- hol. c. E. Harrison, of the Brady street pharmacy, was at Conesville last week and brought the curiosity to Davenport. Mir. Harrison tried to prevail on Mrs Snyder to give 1t to the Academy of Sci ences, but she has not yet consented. The fingers are of a dark brown color; the thumb and nngers approach nearly two exact forms, and perhaps the queer est part of it is that the fore finger is shorter than it should be. MT. Snyder lost the torefnger of that hand two years before the smputation. The little finger was broken of by accident, and shows that the inside Of the finger IS white. Cases are on record where roots and veg etable growth have taken the place and ahape of buried objects of a perishsble nature by absorption and growth con. temporaneous with decay, but this was an exterior develOpment.-DavenPOrt flown Gazette.

BIGGER THAN MhRpI eRAs.


 It has for years been a custom among
 the leading cities of the North to get up
 expositions of one kind or another, but.
 with the exception of St. Louis and
 Kansas City, nothing of the kind has
 ever been gotten up in the South save
 the cotton exposition at Atlanta. Geor-
 gia, some two years ago, which proved
 far more successful than its projectors expected. This year Louisville is trying her hand at the exposition business. and
 President Arthur has consented to open it. But it Is not believed that the Louis vile exposition will prove a very great financial success, because the people of Kentucky, while they like to boast of their hospitality, hold on to their purse strings tighter even than the Yankee when asked to contribute to fund for any public purpose. But 1t IS now an- nOunced that New Orleans will give us an exposition which will surpass any thing ever undertaken in the South A committee Representative New Orleans men are now ID the field looking up the mesns with which to make the under taking a success worthy of the Crescent City. They have been to New York to see the railroad officials who have roads connecting with New Orleans, from whom they hope to raise Sl00,OOO. The Illinois Central has promised S25,OOO, and c. P. Huntington told them that he had no 3yubt his people would do as well. The city Of New Orleans has sub scribed S175OOO and will subscribe S75,- 900 more. They expect to raise S5OO,- 900 to be invested in buildings, which they hope to have completed and ready to open the exposition on the lst of De- cember, 1SSL They also expect all rail roads will carry passengers to and froIs the exposition at half rates, which would include Arizona and enable our people to take part The exhibition will in- clude machinery, new inventions, agrI- cultural and mineral products from all parts Of the United States. The ladies of New Orleans will take charge of the art exhibits, which will be procured by them through subscriptions. New Or leans, being a fine winter resort for Northern people, andas so many of them now spend their winters in the South, we have no doubt but the exposition | will prove a success. It will be called | "The Worlds Industrial Exposition

PREsIDENs- MkNe

Just now many leadig politicians of
 of the east are freely kpresslng them
 selves as to the probabilities of presiden-
 hal candidates, but sthnge to say, they
 are almost invariably for the oPosite
 party to which they jelong. Repubh-
 cans talk very glibb Of the chances
 of this or that democdt, for the nomina-
 tion, and express tlfir opinions of his
 probable strength and fitness for the
 office, but they say little or nothing
 about republican probabilities. The
 democrats tell us all about the repubi-
 can situation, Vho R.e the strong men, and who will likely be the successful candidates, but tbey have little to say about the chanseF Of men m their own party. It has tecome so well under stood by both parties, that in order to kill off a probable candidate for presi- dent, 1t Is only necessary to bring hls name prominently before the public, that all the grest leg iers are extremely careful about expressing themselves ID favor of any man, for fear of injuring his chances refore the people. The business of botl parties now IS. to tell who will not be Il r candidates. MT. Dana, however, who s just returned fsens his -voeIell tIip an exoeptio-- so the rule, as he exprets ses himself freely as to the chances nominations of men of both political parties. He says Tilden is absolutely out of the field this be knows to be fact He speaks very highly of William $. Holman, of Iudi- ana, as the democratic nominee; thinks Joe Mcdonald, of the same State, has a good chance, and that John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois, would be capital candidate. He does not think Arthur stands much show of a nomination, and cites the fail ure of Tyler, Fillmore and Andy John son as examples. He does not think any of the cabinet. except General Gresham. stands any show for the re- publican nomination. He regards Gen. Gresham as a perfectly pure, upright, honest man, and he could almost ez- haust the English language in his praise.
