Colorado Distances.

The air of Colorado is so transparent
that stranger finds it impossible to esti-
mate distances. He thinks range Of
hills close at hand, when they are fif-
teen miles away. An amusing anecote
brings out this transparent deception:
A couple of Englishmen once started
from Denver for the foothills, Judging
them to be four miles off: After walk
ing eight miles and finding themselves
apparently no nearer to the range,
they came to the Denver irrigation
ditch, about four feet wide.
One of them stopped on the bank
and began to strip, his companion ex-
claimin 81
"Why, what are you going to do!"
II am going to swim this river"
"Why, man, it's ditch, and only d
yard or so across!"
Glow do I know it isn't quarter OF
a mile? We've been fooled enough al
ready, and I'm not going to risk wet
ting; you can jump in if you like"

The Report to Bs Presented to the Cover
nor Regarding the State Institutions for
the Insane.
ST. PETER, Special, Sept 1.-THE report OF
tho officials of the hospitals for the insane will
DO sent to the governor in few days. The
report is for the twenty months preceding the
slst day of July, 1884, and includes estimates
Of expenditures for the next two years The
report shows that there are 500 patients on the
roll at St Peter and SS7 at Rochester, making
total of ,193 at the two places. This is an in
crease of $50 in the twenty months, or an average
increase of l61S per month. The report says:
The above figures at first sight seem start
ling, and lead one to ask, "Are we all going
crazy?" But when we carefully consider the
rapidly increasing population of our growing
state, ever bearing in mind that we cannot in
crease the population without increasing Grim
inals and insane proportionately, then the fig
ures are not so startling as they seem.
The trustees have long been DESTROYS of dis
posing of the temporary buildings in st Peter,
but owing to the rapid increase OF insane they
have not had sufficient room to dispense with
the temporary buildings. The trustees IN their
report will ask the legislature to pass bill
allowing them to sell these buildings rs soon
thereafter as they can secure sufficient room
WITHOUT them The report asks for expenses
for the next two years, as follows:

erage number of patients for 1885 and

The board in their report will renew their re-
quest for an appropriation for sufficient amount
of funds to enable them to insure all the hos
ptal buildings at both cities If the legislatures
refuse to appropriate money for this purpose
and there should be loss by fire, the response
oility will rest with the legislature not with the
trustees

States say to congress two years ago? He sale

demands of a government economically admin
istered and he urged upon congress that i'm
mediate reform in that important particular
ought to take place. He referred to the 81,
Co., eco surplus In the treasury, which he
said would at the end of the year be
increased to $5OO,OOO,0O0. and contin-
ued: Have you stopped to think how
much that is? 1t is more than half the paper
currency of the Unite States, and when it
comes to be $500 600, 600 and it will before con-
gress can act, if the population of the country
is properly estimated at 80, 0O0, coo, then there
is locked MP in the treasury and vaults dug
down deep beneath it from 50 to $40 for every
man, woman and child in the country. What
for? Ought there to be change? The Demo-
Gratis say their platform at Chicago that the
revenue must be reduced to the requirements
of the government economically administered
What do you say to that? Whatever the gov
eminent don't need belongs to the people. If
you owe it to the government, pay it; if you
don't owe it to the government for the purpose
of carrying on its affairs economically admin
istered don't pay it
The Republican party have now abandoned
substantially their old friends, the Germans,
and they are laying hold of my Irish friends
with zeal that is absolutely beautiful. What
has the German done that he shall be abandon
ed by the Republican party? How is it that
no address to him and his patriotic devotion
is made, and it is only made to my Irish friend?
The only fault know of the German is that
he thinks he has right to decide for himself
what he shall eat, drink and wear. The can
didate for president of the United States
thought it proper thing for him to say that
he did not vote on the prohibition question at
all. What say you my German friends? Is
prohibition right or wrong? Wrong, OF
course, it is as the Democracy in
every platform has declared. Governor
Hendricks then recited at length the Kosta
case, in the administration of Pierce, in 1854,
and the McSweeney case in 1881, when Blaine
was secretary of state, as tending to show
which party was the true friend of foreign
born citizens, an9 he decided in favor Of the
Democrats. s'For four mcnths," he said
''Blaine neglected an appeal made by wom-
an in a distant land applying to him for the
honor of his country for the justice of her law,
for the dignity of her citizenship, that her hus-
band should be released. 1t was not a ques-
ton of sentiment, but question of expressed
written law YetJames g. Blaine was 'dash-
ing American" as they say. not a bit Irish, as
say, and neglected to answer it, and no in
structions were SGT to our minister at London,
and McSweeney did not come out of jail until

At least three men on the average jury are

The Africans do not believe in long
winded essays, even in their diplomatic
'reaties: The extradition treaty be-
;ween the King Of Ethiopia and the
khsdive Of Egypt is as follows, and en-
braces every criminal case: "His Ma
iesty the Negoosa Negust and his High
ness the Khediye engage to deliver
up, one to the other, any criminal or

punishment from the dominions of the

The announcement that the Chilean
Government has declared war Of ex.
termination against the monarch Of vul4
tures-the candor-and offers IS for
every candor killed, justifies some re-
marks as to the possibility of the Chilean
Government realizing its purpose. The
candor has, indeed, been declared IAN
enemy to the republic" and candor-
hunting has become a highly lucrative
business: but when one takes into con-
sideration the astounding powers of the
bird and it's wonderful habits, one finds
il hard to believe that the Government
can ever succeed in destroying tine species
at any price.
In the German Empire, seventeen
years ago, there were 800 towns, with
populations of between 5000 and co.
600, which were without railway accom-
modations. In the year 1880, the num-
Der of such town was only 1872. OF
towns having populations Of between
1000 and 5000, there are in the empire
1875, of which only 46S had any rail-
way accommodation seventeen years
ago. by 1880 the number of towns SO
provided had risen to 932.
The Philadelphia Ledger says Of
street car conductors who assist women

of courteous attention"

An Old Earthquake.

The late earthquake still continues to
be fruitful object of discussion, and
what people of former times said Of
them has been extensively quoted.
Horace Walpole writes: "You will not
wonder so much at the earthquakes as
at the effect they have had. All the old
women in town have taken them upon
the foot of judgments, and the clergy
have driven foot and horse into this
opinion" But it was not the old ladies
only who were frightened-frantic terror
prevailed, and 730 carriages passed
Hyde Park corner flying into the coun-
try. Horace Walpole speaks of certain
ladies of fashion going to an inn IL
miles out of town to play brag till in
the morning and then TO come back"
he adds, II suppose to look for the
bones of their husbands and families in
the rubbish" In those days everything
was turned into ridicule. Warm dresses
were made for the ladies called "earth-
they quake dresses" in order that might
sit out of doors at night without suffering
and fast young men going home at four
in the morning would rouse the peace
full slumbers by knocking at peoples
doors and crying out in watchman'a
voice: "Past o'clock and q DIR eadful
earthquake"
