Fred Silloway left his horse standing

The horse became frightened and began to
run back towards the pond when Mrs.
Sllloway became frightened and jumped
from the wagon and was badly hurt, but

SwANToN.--The Rev. j. H. Rabbit has
concluded not to leave Swanton at present
and the people say Amen and feel gener.

is much improved of late, since her
return FROM Massachusetts.
The butter market, Tuesday, was largely
attended; quality not quite as good as
usual and prices generally lower, ringing
from II and 1-2 to IS cents; small lots of
prime of course bring higher prices, going
as high as % cents.
The glorious Fourth is past and many
feel great relief when the noise and clamor
and rowdyishness is over and hope not to
be subjected to mob rule again for one
year.
The st. Adams Nj. f. Sunday school
invited the M. L. Sunday school here to
loin them in picnic at Missisquoi Park
on the Fourth, which was heartily accepted.
The result was large company and
grand good time was enjoyed. A good
way to celebrate tho Fourth.

AMERICAS PAPER WALLS. When

AMERICA PAPER WALLS, When
Britannia ruled he wave3, and WIS
mistress of the naviglhle waters Of The
world a patriotic British barb wrote
glowing verses about the wooden walls Of
England, meaning thereby the hulls OF
conquering ships. This was long before
monitors and war vessels heavily plated
with iron, were even so much AS dreamed
Of The poet went on TO say that Britannia
needed no forts along the steep; that her
Notifications move conveniently about on
the deep. encircling the island kingdom
from far and near-a series OF wooden
walls. Had any one suggested to the poet,
or the naval heroes of his times, paper
walls upon the deep-war ships made of
paper-the suggestion would have been
scotfed at as emanating from lunatc.
The bare idea of paper flpa ing would
have been regarded as idiotic.
1t has long ago been practically dem
onstrated that paper can be made to resist
the action of water, but only last month
it was shown that paper atoat can turn
aside pistol bullet. A Lansngburgh
IN. r. firm completed paper steam
boat for Pittsburgh company-a compar-
atively small craft, but twenty feet in
length, with seating room for twenty five
persons, and carrying capacity of three
tons. The hui! is solid body of paper
three 'eights of an inch thick. This is, of
course, what ia technically known as the
shealhing, or, in the parlance of landsmen,
the outer covering: the portion floating
directly on The water and extending
upward, forming the sides. To prove the
staunchness of the paper hull, II bullet
from revolver was fired ut it from IA
distance of only four feet The shot did
not penetrate the paper; did not even
abrade the surface ut the point Of impinge-
ment.
If paper toy steamboat, with three
eights of AN inch covering, easily turns
aside bullet fired at it at The very short
range of four feet, is it too much to expect
a time when paper huls three feet in
thickness will resist the penetrating force
of the powerful artillery projecties as
readily as the ponderous ironcads of our
day do? A heavily papered ship of war
would be far less cumbersome than craft |
sheathed in plates of iron eight or ten
inches thick. The paper clad vessels of
war could attain Il high rate of speed, and
would draw less water than the iron bulls |
which the naval powers of the world now
depend on for offensive and defensive |
warfare. The American poet of the future
may yet sing the praise OF paper walls,
and the artillerymen Of the next century
may fire paper projectles against the foes
OF the republic.

A New HOME FOR WESTERN SPLENDoR.
-Ex Senator Tabor has given up the
idea of building million dollar hotel at
the corner of Sixteenth and Arapahoe
streets, and Mrs. Tabor told a friend the
other day that the famed palace of the
California bonanzes and the mansions of
the Stewart's and Vanderblt's should not
be so fine as the house her husband will
build.
1t will be in the middle of block of
ground covering 80 lots of the regular size
The mansion will contain about 80 rooms
and will be arranged as the dwellings of
the ancient princes wero--for the enter
tainment of guests and to accommodate the
furthest extreme of festivity. There will
be banqueting halls, long and wide, each
with different furniture and fittings, which
will be so selected as to serve for any
event that is likely to occur. There will
be one room which can be used for recep.
tons attended by more guests than can be
accommodated in the reception rooms of
every day use. In the centre there will
be fountain, whose drops of spray, as
they sparkle in the rays of light from a
hundred gas gets, will fall upon the rarest
exotics. The floor will be grand mosaic
of Colorado's most beautiful minerals, cut
and polished by skillful lapidaries, and
arranged in odd and beautiful conceits by
one of New York's most noted artists.
The walls will be co.ored in beautiful tints,
and the soft swelling dome will seem to
| fade away in the blue distance OF the sky
which will be there repr scented. Here
and there in inches gracefully cut will
stand the form of a Venus, Pysche. or
Diana, chiselled in virgin marble, and
these will be relieved by rare paintings.
executed upon the walls themselves, not
hung there. Each gas jet will have
prisms of glass so arranged upon it that
| light of any color can be made to suffuse
the whole room, and TO give the flowing
mountain waters the colors of a rainbow
The sleeping apartments will be en- suite,
and the furnishing as truly elegant as the
suggestions of an accomplished designer
can make them. There will be every
facility for amusement-a billiard room
with its constant attendants, a bowling
alley, and wide room for lawn tennis,
when the weather will not permit the
game to be played in the grounds outside
The stables will be on the same scale of
elegance that the house is, and there will
be saddle horses and driving horses to
suit the taste of the most fastidous horse.
men. The grounds surrounding the man
sion will become a garden of beauty. In
the tower of the house there will be an
observatory fitted up, where one may look
miles away upon the plains or upon the
most distant mountain peak, or if he
desires, make observations in astronomy.
Architects will at once begin to prepare
plans for Mr.. Tabor's approval, and
before summer has set in work upon this
magnificent mansion will be commenced.
