George Vanderbilt.

Mr.. George Vanderbilt, the Youngest
son of Mr.. William H., is great pet
in the family, and as much for the rea-
son that his tastes are ve.y different
from the others as because he is the
baby. He is the only one in the family
with any leaning toward literature. He
is not very literary young man, but
his tastes instead of turning toward the
racetracks, or towards yachting. turns
to books and things OF som what s.m-
liar nature. He has quite fine library
and a collection of articles of unusual
and unique interest. One of the most
remarkable of his possession; is the
chess table and chess-men that formerly
belonged to Napoleon L.. and which he
used during his exile st st. Helena.
Not only this, but there is even more of
ghastly interest ATTACHED to this SOU
venir. 1t was standing by the table
when the physicians were making their
! post mortem examination of the dead
Emperor, and when they took out the
heat, they pulled open one of the
drawers OF this little table and
laid the heart upon it and
to-day one may see the deep stains of
| the blood on the inside of the drawer
This relic belonged 10 Mr.. McHenry,
OF railroad celebrity, before it came into
George Vanderbilt $ possession. Young
Vanderbilt, who was fire uent visitor
at Mr.. McHenry's house in London,
used to look at this table with longing
eyes and often expressed his envy of its
possession. So Mr.. McHenry, who was
fond OF the young man. determined enc
day to send it over here to him as a
surprise. In the meantime he met q
friend of the Vanderbilt family, who
told him that he had been authorized
by Mr.. William H. to offer him S1O, 900
for that chess-table to present to George
on his twenty-tirst birthday. * eep your
S1e,0J0,' said Mr.. McHenry, II have
no use for it. The table is already on
its way to George, and will reach HIM
on his birthday" which it did to his
great delight. The same day, bv the
way, Mr.. William III. said to Mr.. Nc
Henry: Il have Just paid over to
George 80, 500,0 0C0 as his proportion OF
his grandfather's will The boy must

Where Is the GunnisOn Country !

It is in the heart of Colorado, west OF
the continental watershed of the Rocky
Mountains and midway the State north
and south. Cut there they speak OF it
merely as a valley, but within its
bounds you might lay the whole State
Of Ma sachusetts. This is an estimate
OF area On the other hand, You might
rut the whole population and available
wealth of this big valley into the Bay
State without anybody knowing it.
Wait a century, however, and then
try it.
The Indians who, until the last two
wears, thought as well of it in their way
as the white usurpers do now, had vari-
Gus ways of reaching lis sunny hooks;
but tn ordinary entrance for us is by
the railway over Marshall Pass This
railway is that courageous narrow
gauge line, the Denver and Rio Grande,
whose feats Of engineering have aston
ished the world. 1t runs from Denver
l20 miles, down the foot of the front
Tor eastermost) range of the Rocky
Mountains at Pueblo, before it can find
a passa re through the mountains into
the interior. And what passage it is.
L
River, which at that point throws Oft
its very last fetters, comes TO its ma
jority as it were, and pursues in mature
sobriety its long course across the Kan
sas plains and through the Arkansas
forests on its way to It's nirvana in the
Miss ssippi. Above Pueblo the river
valley is hemmed in by hills and rocky
walls for forty miles, and as you ascend
IT along the tracks that follow its shore,
you get better and better glimpses of
the great mountains, but no clearer
comprehens on of how the stream
passes the mighty barrier, since no sign
of any depress on appears. At Canon
City you are close undet the mountains,
and still you see no way through. Ten
minutes later you find it.-Ernest IN

workmanship. Cne large Clipped inn

Russian Morality.

Morality. even in respect to the re
lations of the two sexes, is almost un-
known among the upper classes OF
society, and if the curacy of this
startling statement be doubted a
reference to any modern novel or story
in the Russan language will prove that
not even a native and patriotic writer
can describe his countrymen and
countrywomen except in colors which
French nogelist would shrink
from depicting Virtue and con-
stancy are, as rule, wanting in both
husband and wife, The depravity
which the upper classes have for cen
turies largely imbibed from nurses and
servants bred under demoralizing
condition of ser,age, and which has
naturally reacted upon the class from
which it sprang, has spread and be-
come intensified to terrific extent with
the spread of education. The Nihilistic
plague affects nearly the whole female
population above the pea antry. The
widest possible definition OF women's s
rights is acquired at the institutes of
noble young ladies, as well as at the
humblest boarding and day schools,
and the en-, ,oyment of those rights
after marriage is encouraged by the
immortality OF the men and the facility
with which auricular confession to a
debased and servile priesthood con-
dones every oi1ense against the laws o.
God and man. 1t may be here asked,
''Has the Greek Orthodox religion pro-
daced no effect on the morality OF
bo Pm natiopq qff A1oof he l.,
answer is: None whatever. As caste
drawn originally from the servile class,
the priesthood, and particularly the
parochial clergy. is to this day, with
only too few exceptions, stepped in the
grossest ignorance and superstition.
Dependent upon his parishioners for his
daily bread, the priest can not, even ii
he would, avoid pandering to the.r
vices. He shares with them the de-
basing vice Of drunkenness, and be can
therefore show no example of honesty,
morality, industry or true enlighten-
ment. He takes but little part in the
great work of national education; in
deed, his participation in that work has,
in many cases, according to Russian
State paper. been rejected on the
ground of the danger which it would
present to the moral and intellectual
development OF the people. The church
is already fast losing the fictitious hold
which it has had over superstitious
and Ignorant nation. The report of an
Imperial commission issued in 1861 at
tested that even in the old centers of re-
ligious fervor the churches were rapidly
being abandoned by the peasantry for
the dram-shops, and were being fire.
quented only by old women and chill
dren, while secession from the orthodox
church, into which the Greco Un;ates
have recently been driven in so barbar-
GUS manner, was very much on the
increase. Society and religion are thus
both going through a period of dissolu-
ton in Russia, while the country is COW
cred with network of secret societies,
all aiming at the subversion of the shat
tered fabric OF the State.-Broo I'm
