Wigs for Women.

A wigmaker talked me into a secret,
the other day. 1t was becoming fash.
ionable, he said, for women to wear
wigs. Wigs are not worn TO cover w
badness, or because the hair is thin, but
TO save trouble and as prccaulion
against accident, A woman who has
straight hair is just now out OF fashion
as far rs her head goes She must
crimp her hair and paste it into little
waves and puils around her forehead
and down the sides Of her head. This
requires great care, and becomes bur.
dcnsome after time. Besides hair that
IS not inclined to curl at all is apt 90
defy crimping pins and pomade and
sraighten out at an inopportune mo.
men'' The wigmaker, therefore, ha.
como TO the rescue Of women so unfor.
tunate as TO have rebellious hair. He
makes wigs that may be worn on the
front OF the head, between the line OF the
forehead aud the crown. The false hni,
Is crmped and never straightcns out.

at the head OF the tickets and it shall be un.
lawful for any person to print for distribu-
ton at the polls, or distribute to any elector

LOOKING over the prospects of the ranch
men of Delta county we cannot but come to
the conclusion that they have cast their lines
in places both pleasant and profitable. With
a vivid recollection of the vast amount of Ia
Dor and care necessary to prepare the soil in
the eastern States that it would produce
even n small crop, we are constrained to say
that II is a pity that men should work and
slave as many of the eastern farmers do, on
soil so 10th to yield them a fair return for
their labor, when here are thousands Of acres
ready only and waiting for seed and the hand
of the husbandmen to reward him more rich
" than has ever been his lot before. Here in
these fertile valleys is soil SO rich and pro-
ductive that ten acres, rightly managed, will
produce crops sufficient to support family
of reasonable wants. Irrigation each year
so renews the soil that lnanuring will never
be necessary here. Steps will be taken this
season to move the abundant crops which are
being harvested, and our ranchmen will enter
upon an era of prosperity that will never
fail any farmer in this county who viii COM
bine good management with fair amount of
labor. Taking into consideration the pro-
ductiveness of the soil, the abundance of
water, low cost OF building irrfgating bitches,
and our almost perfect climate, we who are
the fortunate dwellers in these beautiful val
leys may well be content, wondering only
why thousands of others living in lands less
fair, do not come here and share with our
big bonanza.

THE reduction in postage goes into effect
October lst. Then the letter stamps will be
only two cents each. Careful calculations
were made in regard 20 the reduction of re.
rcipts, but it is generally believed that the
reduction will be only temporary. New uses
will be found for the cheaper stamp. Circu.
lars will be seat sealed at the new rate in.
stead of the penny rate and unsealcd. Many
other uses will be found. The majority of
the postal cards now used are not used in the

THE postoifiees Of the country are divided
into four classes, the first three being called
Presidential offices for the reason that the
postmaster is appointed by the President. In
order that postofice can be of the Presiden-
tial raall the salary must be at least 81 900
year The fourth class is much more nu-
merous than the Others, receiving, as the
Offices do. less than a thousand dollars, and
the postmaster is sappointel by the Postmaster
General. The first class comprises all offices
where the salary is at least s., 900; the second
class ranges from 5000 TO 5000, and the
third class from $1,000 to $1,000. There are
in the state OF Colorado i3S postoflices Of all
classes. This represents n growth of forty
five offices within the last fiscal year. The
increase during the nine years has been 295
offices. There are thirty eight Presidential
postofiices in Colorado, only one, Denver,
being of the frs, class. In the second class
there are nineteen, an increase of three since
the last adjustment of the salaries. They
are Greeley, Rico and Silverton. Since the
last adjustment Alma aud Salida have been
promoted to the Presidential offices. There
are sixty-six money order offices in the State.
The largest single increase is in the case of
Pueblo, where a gain Of 500 is recorded.
Rico secures an advance Of 500, and both
Greeley and Silverton gain 500. Others
gain a single hundred.

Important Decision of the Telephone
Transmitter Patent.
A recent important decision of the commits
soner of patents in the telephone transmitter
Gaze has Just been made public The case
came before the commissioner of appeal from
the decision Of the examiner OF interferences
on motion to reopen the case decided by him
on March 10Th lest which was denied. The
case is that of Daniel Drawbaugh against
Adolf Eccord, claiming priority of the inven-
tion of the telephone transmtter. The ex-
aminer Of inr srferenceJ in March last awarded
the priority of invention TO Ec eord and sub
Eequently DrawbAugh filed a motion for the
re-opening OF the cs on the strength of newly
discovered e-idence of priority OF his inven-
tion. The examiner Of Interference refused
to reopen the cate on the ground that with
reasonable diligence appellant could have
produced the alleged new evidence at the
former hearing, The commissioner in
overruling this decision holds that
that though it may appear that
with proper diligence Drawbaugh might
have produced this evidence at the lest hear
Ing OF the case, yet that such a showing while
1t would initiate against his motion for a new
trial in coarts at law, caDnot be hold sufficient
to prevent the reopenng of the case in the
patent office. The syllabus of the commission
ers' decision is that as the questions to be de-
cided in the patent office are who is
the prior inventor, and to whom
should patent be Issued it Is necessary that
testimony material - establish who was the
prior inventor and who first reduced the inven-

Chandler gained 13 over Fridays votes,
Briggs IA and Tappan 9.
Mr.. Briggs, of Manchester, rose to a personal
explanation. He said that an article appeared
in the National Republican at Washington
Saturday containing an order issued under the
direction of Major Gen. Sumner Dec. Z, 1862,
dismissing Briggs, then assistant quartermaster
Of the 11th New Hampshire volunteers, from
the service for resgDing in the face of the enc
my. He demanded al explanation. After The
battle of Fredericksburg he applied to Gen.
Sumner in perEou for leave of ab-ence to attend
to important business al home, bat the request
was denied. Gen. Sumner said be could accept
resignation, whereupon it WAS pre- ented. He
Came home, locked after his busine.s, retarned
to the front and aeJumed his former position,
which had been held open for him. He coz
tinued with the regiment until obliged to re-
sign on account of sickness, and an order
(which he ready issued Aug. 1, 1862, granted
him an honorable diEcharge from the service.
1t was the hrst perconal explanation that he
had ever been called upon to make during
long term of public service, which included
six years iii Congress.
At the conclusion OF his remarks resolution
accepting the explanation given as perfectly
satisfactory and exonerating Mr.. Briggs from
ANY suspicion of cowardce was unanimously
adopted.
1t is stated on the beet: of authority tc might
that Briggs will withdraw from the Senatorial
contest before vote will be taken tomorrow.
Ills supporters VIII go largely 10 Chandler,
Tappan and Marston. Chandler's friends claim
his vote will reach In the neghborhood of 30
in the next ballot. The Stevens men have de-
cided to vote for him through tomorrow at
least. Mr. Ray is prominently spoken OF as
the dark horse, although he may not appear in
the list to-morrow. Mr.. Briggs withdrawal is
freely discussed tonight, some alleging it TO be
in the interest of Chandler. This statement is
emphatieally denied, however, by his most in
tinate friends. At the caucus Of the Demo-
Gratis tonight about 70 were present The sub
Ject OF transferring votes TO Gen. Marston in
case the latter receives 60 or thereabouts was
discussed, some gentlemen favoring, others oc-
posing such action No vote was taken upon
the matter 1t is probable that more than one
ballot Will be taken tomorrow, although the
more conservative friends Of all the candidates
do not look for an election for several days, il
then. The inward situation is unchanged and
bids fair to 80 continue for some time.
