COLORADO CANNIBAL.

DENVER, April 12.-The trial OF Alfred
A. Packer, the San Juan ghoul, charged
with numbering his five companions in
San Juan County in 1872, which has
been in progress at Lake City for the last
few days, was concluded tonight and the
case given to the jury, The evidence
shows that party of six organized in
Utah in 1872, to prospect in Southern
Colorado. While in the vicinity of the
present site of Lake City, binding
storm coming on, they lost their way,
food gave out, and for days together they
lived on rosebuds. The men became
desperate, and some were crazed. While
his companions were in this condition
Packer deliberately fell upsn them and
butchered the whole party, and for sever
al weeks lived upon the flesh cut from
their bodies. Yesterday, in the course Ol
the trial, Packer made statement calm

periences of the party from their setting
out in Utah, and closing with the mos
sickening details of the murder and the
subsequent feasting on human flesh
claiming that the killing was done il

each member of the party except Packe
possessed quite large amount of money

LAKE MILLS.
Union.

At the meeting last Saturday the sew
eral speakers advanced many good rea-
SONS for the building of a summer hotel.
It seemed to be prevailiug.opinion that
Lake Mills offers superior natural adyan-
tagts for the location of such ass hotel.
Gentlemen from Chicago and Jefferson
could not say enough in praise of Rock
Lake and its beautiful surroundings.
There was hardly speaker who did not
think the project would be y success.
Nearly all agreed that the summer resort
business is our natural bent, that we must
cultivate it ii we desire any great degree
of growth and prosperity
E. A. Seaver's new katie factory is
nearly completed, and forms not only an
additional business help TO the place, but
ADDS much to the looks. The building
is 50 60, two stories high, and situated
in position TO show to the best possible
advantage. The machinery is being put

JAPANESE HOLIDAYS.

The Japanese have more than 20 fan
ciful names by which they designate their
beautiful aUntry, but the sobriequet
which to a foreigner, seems the most fit
ting is certainly the land of holidays.
No excuse is too trivial for japanese TO
make holidays, and when he does not
make them himself the Government
politely steps in and makes them for
him, Thus, one day in every six, called
ichi roku, is a statute holiday; so is the
third day In every moon, whilst the list
of national festivals commemorative Il
great men or of great deeds is simply in.
exhaustible. If great man dies in Eng
land, they commemorate him by a monu-
ment in Westminster Abbey; if a great
man dies in Japan, he is remembered By
a holiday; SO that what with the mythical
great men who are thus remembered and
the historical great men Who have died
during the past five thousand years, it is
a little difficult to find day of the Jap
anese year which has not the name of a
celebrity attached to it; just as, in glauc-
ing down Roman Catholic calendar, we
find that every day has its particular
saint. But the greatest day of the year,
the festival par excellence of the people,
the festival into which is compressed the
essence of the fun and enjoyment and
happiness of all the other days put to-
gether, is the festival of the new year.
We may be familiar with the celebration
of the day in Paris or New York, but the
proceedings there are tame and lifeless
when compared with the spontaneous
Outburst Of rejo eng which characterizes
New Years Day in Japan.

The NEW POSTAGE STAMP.-The Post
Office Department has agreed upon the
design for new 2-cent postage stamps fol
6rst-class matter, and the work of print
ing for distribution and sale will shortly
be begun. A medallion of Washington
in panel is the most prominent feature,
and half round the top the words gu. S.
postage" are placed. This is departure
from the present system when the initials
1'U. S. are used. At the lower portion OF
the stamp the words ''2 cents are situated
divided by the figure two. The design is
conspicuous for its plainness, and there is
an absence of any decoration not in
keeping with the subject. The likeness
of Washington has been pronounced per-
feet by all who have seen it. 1t is a copy
of the head of the painting in the East
Room of the Presidents house.

The MATTER OF WAGES Robert P
Porter, member of the late Tariff Com
mission, now in Europe, writes two.
column letter to the New York Tribune
from Hanley, the center of the pottery
industry in England, giving in detail the
condition of the manufacture, facts and
figures of the trade, and the wages paid
employees. 1t appears that the wages of
operatives are very low-about 100 per
cent lower than in the United States.
AS the only fair method of comparing
wages, Mr. Porter takes the same de-
partment Of work in each country. For
example, plate makers in England aver
age $3.50 week; in the United States,
5000. dish-makers make SO. so; Amer
leans $19.42. English cup,makers, &c.
go, Americans $l9.67. And so on through
the list This is certainly very favora-
BILE showing for American operatives.
The pottery industry is not extensive in
the United States as yet. The total
value of the product, according to the
census of 1880, OF all the potteries, stone
ware and porcelain manufactures in this
country was only 81, 7,949, 229-about halt
the value of British exports for the same
year. But the manufacture is rapidly in
creasing here, and already the effect is
noticeable in the reduced cost of these
wares to the consumer.
