To the Editor of THE CHEF:
The weather here has,-but what's the
use of telling you that when every one
knows this, the Uncompahgre region is bless
ed with beautiful weather at all seasons of
the year.
The ice on the Gunnison river which, at
this point, was from eight to fourteen inches
in. thickness, went out so calmly as not to
raise the water an inch. have lived beside
rivers a number of years but this is the first
time l ever witnessed such sight.
Mr.. r. E. Eggleston, the trapper, paid us a
short visit last week. He is a very pleasant
gentleman and we hope to have him come
often. He is meeting with fair success in
trapping game, however is becoming scarce
otter and beaver.
The work of rebuilding the bridges here is
progressing slowly, a large number of the
men having been sent to Green river to hurry
forward the bridge over that stream SO as to
enable the railroad company to get the line
connected through at the earliest moment.
The inevitable Saloon has made its ap-
pearance here. 1t was located at first on the
outskirts of the ''city''-i. C., near the section
house, but when the carpenters moved down
to the camp, q miles west, the saloon"
moved with them. OF course, it is scarcely
necessary to say, some of the men get ''ner-
vous" occasionally and considerable ill-feel-
ing arises. How any intelligent man, with
statistics of intemperanee before him, can en-
gage in and carry such an inferaai busi-
ness | am at a loss To imagine. ! am pleased
to say, however, that but few saloon-keepers
come under that general head 1t is thought
by some that when Mr.. Conner, foreman OF
bridges and buildings, returns from Green
river he will fire the saloon. 1t would be
far better to rob man by taking all that he
has than to cloud his brain with their vile
liquors and then take his money. Having,
years ago, suffered by visiting saloons know
from experience what thcy are.
Now, Mr. Editor, bsinyan old typo myself,

An Indian Nero

Superstition settled many questions
Of war and tribal policy. A band Of
Indians emigrated in a body from the
Minisink region, to avoid a malign
genius of the place. A party Of SEN
ecas chased young Catawba warrior
for five miles. He succeeded in kill
ing seven Of them before they captur-
ed him. The next day, when he was
led out to the torture, he escaped by
a sudden dash. leaped into the river
amid a shower OF bullets, and swan
under water water like an otter, only
rising TO take breath. On the oppo-
site bank he made insulting gestures
Mt his enemies, and fled away. OF
those who pursued him, he slew a par
ty of FIVE while they slept, mangled
and scalped them, and then returning
in the night, dug up and scslped the
seven whom he had slain at first. A
solemn council of his foes decided that
he must be a wizard, and that pur-
suit would therefore be useless. - DIR.

wife a lively young lady who is ex.

made an engagement to accompany a
young naval officer 10 one of the fash

was going, but neglectiDg to say she
had secured an escort. He appeared
TO be pleased, and said that he would
accompany her. This was more than
she had bargained for, and she resort
ed to various expedients to get him to
stay at home. The more reasons she
gave the more he was determined 10
go. Things were getting desperate
when bright idea struck her. She
took the old gentleman's false tee tn
and hid them, and when the evening
came he was still without those neces

obliged to remain at home, while his

Leatheroid is new article which is
being made Of paper. II consists Of a
number Of thicknesses Of cotton paper
wound one upon another over a cylin-
der. The remarkable qualities of
strength aud adhesion it possesses are
derived from a chemical bath through
which the paper is drawn on its way
TO the cylinder. The effect Of the
chemical bath on the paper is said 10
be wonderful. Leatheroid, for the
purposes il now serves, consists Of
of about twenty thicknesses Of paper;
it is shaped upon or around mol1s,
while wet, into the form it is to rep.
resent, and will hold that form per.
petually when dry. When dried it is
as difficult as rawhide to cut with a
knife. Cans made from this material
are about one-iourth the weight Of tin
cans Of equal size; while tin cans are
liable to get bent, cans made from
leatheroid are entirely free from this
objection. They have the elasticity Of
thin steel and no amount Of kicking
and handling will break them. : Bos.

A DANGEROUS HABIT.-The habit
of blowing in the chimney of a coal
oil lamp to extinguish it is common,
but attended with danger of which
few people are fully aware. The heat
of the burning wick generates a gas in
the lamp that is only partially filled
with oil and the least contact of this
gas with the fame may cause the lamp
to explode. The smaller amount o.
oil in the lamp, the greater the dan
ger. To extinguish lamp without
danger, blow directly across the top
horizontally, keeping the mouth about
six or eight inches from the chimney
