CASHMERE sHAwLs.

more frequently imported into Europe,
are either loom worked or needle
worked - needle worked being the
more original-and they cost from 80
pounds to so pounds in the Punjaub,
without freight or interest, or profit co

AN ESTIMATE OF CARLYLE.

The true monument of Carlyle's
greatness is to be- found in his writings
The monument of his littleness is to
be found In his biography. There is
nothing great in the rancor of dyspep-
sia and the bitterness of bile. Carlyle
was born hater, perhaps because he
was born with q bad disgestion. The
natural language of his life WAS vitu-
peration' In tile slang of the present
day he ''crabbedn everybody and ev-
erything. This may seem hard thing
to say, but no one can lay down Mr..
Froude's final volumes without o con-
viction that such is the case.-L0ndon

Abou Ben Butler (of the tribe that deece)

And saw with some concern, and exc with

A fellow figuring beside his bed.
His eyes, joint evidence constrained to trust,
Ben Butler said: "Young man, what's that

The lad replied: "a list I have prepared
OF who conspiculously love the Lord;
And here have another list, again,
OF such as dote upon their fellow-men;
And still u third have just now begun
OF those whose chief concern is No. ~
"And where am Is'' said Ben. The young
man said:

MORE ABOUT JOHN BULL.


"Our excellent FRIEND John Bull

his own virtue. He is very pround OF

Good gracious! what an emancipa-

Paris. What boldness! What amiable
smiles! How he does go it! IT is no

transformed ON the road.
Then Mr.. O'Rell goes on to tell us

A dispatch to the Tribune-Republtcdn
from Montrose, dated Sept. 9th says that
meeting Of the ranchmen the day before Mr..
T. c. Henry on behalf of the Uncompahgre
Canal Company, proposed to cell the perpetual
water right of one hundred and sixty acres,
for fifteen hundred dollars; also to advance
two hundred dollars to perfect the title, and If
necessary 500 to buy seed; all on five, ten,
fifteen or twenty years time, With no interest
until after November, 1885, then at per cent
for the first year, and 10 per cent after that.
he asks the ranchmen to sign an agreement to
take the water on those terms, after all the
membranes on the ditch are paid, and the
water is through 1t. The ranchmen speak ia
vorably OF his proposition, and it Is hoped that
it will be generally accepted, as every interest
is injured by the failure Of Canal Company to
keep its obligations. A meeting will be ar
ranged for next week, at which definite action
will be taken.

MINING MATTERS.
Primitive Gold washing.

Mining and Scientific Press.
The gypsies OF the Bannat in Austro-Hungs-
~, In washing the gold from the sands OF the
rivers and llains, still use very ant!quated
system, ont Of which, no doubt, the modern
systems have grown. 1t is practiced now by
the gypsies, as 1t was by the Romans in the
same country IT consists in nothing more
than pouring the sand, mixed with water,oyer
an inclined plane, the heavier particles OF the
gold remaining upon the surface, while the
light Impurities are washed away. sometime.
the inclined plane is covered with ~oolen
cloth, to which the gold adheres; wanting the
cloth, the gypsies now and then use Tor the
same purpose the more ancient substitute OF
fleece. The manner OF collecting gold dust
on sleeps aecees, upon inclined planes, is
represented in the curious old work OF Agr,-
cola.
In the rivers OF Colchis the custom IS stiil
retained OF placing sheep skins Ia tic beds OF
the Phasis and other auriferous streams TO
collect particles OF gold, hence, the dedication
OF such feeces to the Gods. and tae fabulous
history OF the Argonauts, far IS Ii related
to the Golden Fleece.
The more common manipulation among the
gypsies OF Bannat, as far As the gold washing
Is concerned, Is performed by mchns OF a plank
Of lime tree, six feet long, and an Inch aud
half thick. At the upper extremity Is a small
trough, and across the board are about dozen
grooves or furrows cut In the wood. The plank
is set at an angle OF iorty-ivc degrees lhe
sand Is put into the trough at the upper end,

Declines a denomination.

Judge Belford has addressed the following
letter to the Republicans of Colorado.
On the 10th instant the Republican party Of
this State, through its chosen representatives,
will assemble to nominate candidates Tor the
State offices and candidate for Representa-
States. / have had the honor to represent the
State OF Colorado in the National House Of
Representatives for six years. During this
period Of continuous service many questions
affecting the interests Of our State have been
passed upon. In every instance / have acted
upon these, as upon all other questions pre-
sented TO Congress, solely with regard to the
welfare of our own people.
Whatever my errors and shortcomings in
other respects may have been, am consoled
with the reflection that no act or vote of mine
initiated against the interests peculiar to Col
orado, although in strict adherence to what
religiou.lg believe to be my duty to my consti-
tuency, / have at times acted an1 voted in op-
position to my own party. For thus adhertng
to the best interests of my State, l have fre-
9aently been misrepresented by the ignorant
and abused by the Inalevolent. But 1t is pleas
ing tn know that accomplished results baye JUS
titled the correctness Of my official acts In this
respect.
Having, as / believe, rendered the state
some service in various positions. / now feel
that should decline further public service, ,es-
pecially as my personal affairs have been ser
iously neglected and are In need OF immediate
attention and the devotion OF my entire time.
/ prefer, therefore, not again to make can
vass for Congress, but to leave the labor and
expense Of the campaign to those whose fnan-
cial resources and physical abilities better
qualify them for the expenditures and work
involved in the coming contest.
To the people of the state of Colorado am
profoundly grateful for the confidence which
they have repeatedly reposed in me. have
never abused that confidence and at the end
of fourteen years OF public service, six OF
which were spent in Congress, will return TO
private life without fear Of ever being called
upon at any time to defend my personal or
Official honor or integrity, either against open
attack, or snesking innuendo.
With the best wishes for the continued sue
cess of the Republican National and State tick
cts, have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant.
