the idea as peculiarly ingenious, and has since
faithfully acted upon it, but was heard the other

he could find his literary friend at home.

pressing the belief that "some condensed form
of tame dynamite" might be utilized for the
benefit of those who fain would fly OF course.
"Poetry," Mr.. Upper well knows, can be made
tame enough. But the trouble would seem to
be, Mr.. Upper, that dynamite, like the tongue,
cannot be tanned. Even a small and unObtru-

ablebodied men in one round. But where is the

olution was taken of going through the form
of passing the bill after the constitutional
time had expired. 1t was accordingly
passed" by each house by'a party VOTE and
the enrolled bill was signed by the Speaker
of the House. But the Lieutenant-governor,
as President of the Senate, refused to sign it,
He main tanned that the time within which
it could have been passed had expired be-
fore this vote was taken. The bill was never
presented to the Governor.
The general appropriation bill was
defeated by the Democratic Legislature
in order to compel the Governor to call
ever for an extra session if that bill had
passed. The specific appropriation bill had
been disposed of; it had been defeated. 1t
only remained to pass the general appropria-
ton bill and to adjourn. But the Demo-
cratic plug-uglies and ward bummers, whose
puppet and exponent Mr.. Speaker Bynum
seemed to be proud to be- would not permit
it, despite the efforts of a number of leading
Democrats including the chairman of the
ways and means committee.
The Legislature disappointed nearly every
body. Democrats denounced it not less
loudly than Republicans; and we know that
Governor Porter was importuned by promi-
nent Democrats, not less than by Repub-
licans, not to call an extra session. He
yielded to what he believed was the will
of the people. He is not hot-headed par
tisan or man addicted to resentments He is
now, we know, determined not to call ane extra
session unless it becomes entirely impossible
to conduct the State government without one,
or an overwhelming and irresistible express
sion of the people demands one. He hopes
that the permanent appropriations, together
with such provisions as he can make without
any breach of law, will enable him to carry
OH the government until the Legislature shall
again regularly assemble.

views of the man who could entertain it. No
man of broad views, of liberal culture, would
be guilty of such breach of politeness,
to say nothing of the untruthfulness of the

than the original offense for he now tenders
a gratuitous insult to his own people when

"another carload OF those elegant, Sc paint
inGs9" With "old masters" pouring in by the
carload, what more could the most ardent art
missionary ask? AS special favor too, we are
told that these gems can be had "On time" and
for $3.50 each-dfty cents for the picture and So
for The frame, perhaps. At this rate they are
cheaper than calcimining, and no one need be
without a comfortable winter supply.
ABOUT this time of year women who "never
speak as they pass by" look at each other up
and down and back over their shoulders. They
are out on the shopping war-path, and are not
as dangerous the glare in their eyes would
seem to indicate. What they want is not gore
not many cores anyway-but ideas as to bon
nets and the "set" of the new cloaks. A little
later, when their investments in this line have
been prayerfuly and carefully made, the
anxious, reaching for something they can't
touch expression will give way to a look of
serene satisfaction with themselves and a lofty
indifference to the "duds" other women have
on.
YOUNG people anxious to become writers of
novels can find the recipe in Anthony Trollope's
autobiography. Three hours day, he thinks,
will produce as much as man ought to write.
He accordingly devoted that time to his liter
airy labors and wrote with his watch before
him, requiring of himself $50 words every
quarter of an hour The $50 words he claims
to have found forthcoming as regularly as the
watch went The mechanical part of the art is
very fully set out and literary aspiran5 who
follows the advice cannot fail of success pro-
vided he has any ideas to make his industry
worth while.
If one may judge from the look of serene self
satisfaction worn by members of rural brass
bands, bound in blue and gold, there is joy in
fine raiment which no plain citizen can hope to
share. 'ff could feel as delighted with myself
for an hour as that drum major does with him
SELF would trade places with him and give him
my days profits" said a sbaid business man the
other day. But he did not make any overtures
to the drum-major, realizing perhaps that some
thing more than clothes was needed for the
transformation. Not every has within
himself the germs of this gorgeous human BIOS
som.

RANDOM NOTES.

MISS PHELPS found that there was both marry

yond the Gates" husband and wife, who had
lived harmoniOusly here. were reunited in the
abode of bliss. The scene between herself and
the lover whom she had not met tor twenty
years, and who had married another" is very
like real life before the bonds of flesh are burst.
She met him in the fields ely sian Unexpectedly,
and the first question from her lips was, "Where
is she2" Having explained that ''she" was on
earth and had found comfort long since; having
shown that no barriers remained between them,
and reasoned away her scruples, the lover
asked, 'Then do you trust met Gomez

as to the qualifications of the minister finally

the gentleman in question is qualified for some
pulpits, but is in the dark as TO how he is rated
on the eight points of fitness laid down some
time since as necessary for the happiness of
this particular flock. What is his percentage
as to intellectuality2 How high does his mag

going back to this fold, but unless the coming

creatur es must enter now and then. They do
figure rather too much in the novels of the day

the Grand and have been greeted by crowded
houses. Calls before the curtain after each

and old admirers have increased their praise
of the great tragedian, while new admirers
are numerous and are delighted with the
rich treat they enjoyed.

be the same that carried it to such success in

hope Monday evening will inaugurate for
this enterprise a season of uninterrupted

Their Little Game.

AS was promised our readers a few
weeks since, a thorough examination of
the journal Of the last Colorado house Of
representatives was made for the purpose
of learning defnately whether senate
bill No, 7 passed that body or not. The
editor of this paper, in company with a
member of the last general assembly,
visited the office Of the secretary OF state
last Saturday AFTERNOON, and was kindly
and courteously allowed the privilege Of
looking over the journal. We had some
hopes the report that the bill did not
receive the constitutional majority was
untrue and without foundation in fact ;
but the delusion and hope we're vain.
Upon investigation we found that the
bill was reported back by the judiciary
committee Of the house, with the rec
ommendation that it be passed, on the
sixth day of February. On the ninth 1t
was put up for final passage or defeat, and
met the latter fate, receiving only four
teen votes out of twenty-nine cast.
Twenty members were absent or did not
vote. The story of the motion to recon-
slider and the defeat Of thai motion has
already been told in these columns, and
need not be repeated. The bill was
beaten and so far as it was concerned
that should have settled it.
! All that is left for consideration IN the
matter now is the careless or dishonest
! Criminal in either case conduct of those
who defeated exemption legislation at
the last session of the legislature. We
tried in a former issue to make clear to
our readers the circumstances which
transpired in the senate on the last day
but one Of the session, and which cir
cumvented pending action on the ex-
emption bill of Mr.. Royal, which had
passed the house, and would have passed
the senate but for the. announcement
that senate bill No. 7 had passed the
house with amendments. All refamiliar
with the fact that Senator Tilford had
named Mr.. Royals bill as the one he
should call up in his turn, and that the

A Friend Conc.

On Wednesday, the eighteenth in
stant, James NOwlan died in this city from
asthma, after a very short confinement.
He had been suffering for some time
from this disagreeablb and to him fatal
disease, but was able Ito be around and
attend to his business up to within few
days Of his death. Mr.. NowIan was well
known to many Of our readers, having
been prominently cd injected with the
Irish movements of this city and for
sometime engaged in an associate ca
pacity with Mr.. McSheehy, publisher of

time of his death. Deceased was edu-
Gated at Trinity college, Dublin. He en-
listed in the English army at the open
ing Of the Crimean war, and served
during the whole of that memorable
campaign. After the close of the war
he was engaged for several years INNER
camille pursuits. He came to America
in 1868, and was at one time a promi-
nent member of the Chicago board of
trade. He afterwards published news

was connected for number Of years

last summer as deputy United States
marshal with A. L. Morrison, Of Santa
Fe, who was an old friend and associate.
He was connected with some New
Mexican interests at the time Of the eX-
position of last year, and afterwards be-
came associate editor Of the Celt.
We were personally very we'll ac-
quainted with Mr. NoWIan, and ever
found him courteous and obIiging, and
the superior intelligence he possessed
upon matters of interest to us made our
intercourse peculiarly interesting In
his demise the cause of the suffering
poor in Ireland has lost warm and de-
voted friend, and progressive journal

go out to the beretT wife and fatherIess

rience:, Two years since the editor Of the

affecting the ulner nerve Of the left hand and
arm. All the remedies known to the faculty
have en- tried in vain. Three days use of

an entire cure. There is hardly the slightest
