London was yesterday ,paralyzed
by the news of the fall Of Khar-
toum and the wiping out Of Cor
dons army. The British taxpayers
must by this time be getting weary
Of the military diversions in
Egypt.

WIND AND TONGUE

The Enterprise and Gazette are
now rowing with each other over
the document read by Mr.. Fulton
at the Silver Convention. We be-
believe that every man who at
tends a convention should be al
lowed to speak as long as he
pleases On the floor, as that has
been an old custom in this State.
We have always believed however
that some steps ought to be taken
to shut off the wind and tongue
of men who never let an opportun-
ity pass of making an appearance
in public meeting. Men should
learn as soon as possible that meet
ings of this kind are not called to
give any particular individual a
chance to advertise himself. There
is to much useless chin music at
all these gatherings, and we be-
lieve since Col. Shaw has set the
example Of openly calling a man to
time who was neither interesting
nor enlightenlng a convention, he
has set an example that future con
ventions will do well to profit by.
The bill authorizing the publica-
ton of the tax roll passed the SEN
ate Yesterday almost unanimously.
The bill was once lost but recon-
sidered, and passed, as it soon be-
came apparent to the Senate that
such a law would result in more
assessment and more
collection oftaxes. It op-
presses that class of people only who
like to see their neighbors pay all |
the taxes. Many a man who now
evsdes the Assessor will make |
fuller returns Of his property if |
he realizes that everybody IS go
ing to know what he pays.

Lincoln on a


Denver Tribune.
a short time before the fall OF Vicks-
burg great dissatisfaction became rife
at Gen. Grants tardlncssin moving
on the enemy's works; there was a
pretty general feeling in favor OF re-
l%ieving Grant from his command and
appointing some one who wouldmake
short work OF the formidable strong
hold of the enemy and relieve the
people from their great state OF anx-
iety. Mr.. Lincoln had great faith in
Gen. Grant. He "a being constantly
importuned and beset by the leading
politicians to turn Grant out of the
command. Being in his office oneday
about this time, he said to me:
81 fear | have made Mr.. Wade OF
Ohio my enemy for life"
"How?' he was asked.
"Wade was here Just now urging me
to dismiss Grant, and in response to
something he said led me to remark:
Senator, that reminds me OF astory.'
yes, yes Wade petulantly replied;
1T is with you, sir, all story-story-
you are the father OF every military
blunder that has been made during
the war. You are on the roadt HI,
sir, with this government by your
o~bstinancy, and you are not a mile
off this minute | good-naturedly
said to him: Senator, that is about
the distance from here to the capitol,

grabbed up his hat and caneand went

Lincoln then continued to say: ITO

prevails, wen Washburne. who has
always claimed Grant as his by right

really believe | am the only civilized
friend Grant has left. Grant advised

Is Earning q Lost Ar,9

One would think, with the increase
in darned or morris work." that
darning would be assigned a place
among the fine arts. 1t seems, however,
to be one ofthelost arts. Almost strik-
ing ILLUSTRATION ofthe fact came to the
writer's notice a few days ago. A
young girl was showing a beautiful
table cover. The entire background
was of darned work, and the design
was eNquisitely embroidered. What
a fine needlewoman must this maiden
be, l thought; how / should like to see
the stockings she darns. AS if divin-
ing my wish, q sister brought n darn
ing-bag made by the embroiderer to
show me popularity OF the pattern.
In SO doing several pairs of stockings
fell out, and, to my dismay, l saw
that they were darned in a n
that would have brought q blush to
the face OF any daughter OF the past
generation. The thread was coarse.
the stitches uneven, and the effect
rough in the extreme. The incident
brought to mind the story OF
the party of young people who
We're out for a walk. Among
them were two sisters, who were in
doubt as to whom the attentions Of
an exceedingly desirable parti We're di-
rected, for up to this time he had been
provokingly impartial. The young
folks suddenly came to a place in the
road that had been rendered swampy
by recent rains, and three or four of
the girls lost their shoes. This was in
the days long gone by when low shoes
were worn without %fastenings.
Among the unfortunate losers ofshoes
We're the two sisters. As it happened,
their Grant belongings were restored
by the gallant admirer. But in put
ting t%heshoes upon the maldens' feet,
he noticed that on the toeof livestock
ing of one sister there was a rough,
coarse darn, while the stocking OF the
other, which was also darned, had
been mended so skillfully that the re-
pairs were scarcely to be distinguished.
The halting lover no longer vacillated.
The good darner was chosen to be the
mistress OF ''tower and hall" Peo-
pie We're surprised, for the other sister
was more beautiful, but the husband
always said that the excellent darn
decided the choice which he never re-
gretted.-San Francisco Argonaut.

President Lincoln's Visitor.

Mr.. Lincoln was quite i'll early in
the winter of 1868, and was not in
clined to listen to all the bores who
called at the White House. One day,
just as one of these pests had seated
himself for a long interview, the Pres
ident's physician happened to enter
the room, and Mr.. Lincoln said, hold
ing out his hands:
doctor, what are those blotches?"
"That's varioloid, or mild small
pox," said the DOCTOR"
"They're all over me. 1t is con-
tagious, l believe" said Mr.. Lincoln.
every contagious, indeed!" replied
the Esculapian attendant.
-"Well, | can't stop, Mr.. Lincoln; I
just called to see how you WERE" said
the visitor.
ooh, don't be in a hurry, sir!" plac-
idly remarked the Executive.
THANK you, sir; I'll call again." re-
piled the visitor, executing a mastery
retreat from a fearful contagion.
..Do, sir" said the President.
"Some people said they could not
take very we'll to my proclamation,
but now, / am happy to say, l have
something that everybody can take "

During the summer the journey is de-
lighted and although attended by many
discomforts, has it's compensations to
those who are willing to rough it and
are fond ofmountain scenery. Ladies

Plenty OF mules and good guides can
be secured at the termini Of the rail-
ways, but travellers have to carry
their own food and bedding.
There are no hotels on the way, but
only "shacks' or log houses, which
furnish nothing but shelter. Very often
peoplewho are not accustomedto high
attitudes r attacked with q disease
called .'sirroche," from which they
sometimes suffer severely. Itcomes in
the form OF dizziness and pain in the
head, with vomiting, and so suddenly
that people have been konwn to fall
oftheir mules and be seriously injured.
The road is always dangerous, cling
ing to the edgeof mighty precipices and
upon the sides OF mountain cliffs, and
only trained mules can be used on the
Journey. During the winter season the
winds are often SO strong as to blow
the mules with their burdens over the
precipices, and leave them as food for
the condors that are always soaring
around. These birds know the dam
gerous passes and keep guard with the
expectation of seeing some traveller or
mule go tumbling over the cliffs. There
are some bridges, too, that must be
crossed whose construction is not sat-
isfactory to nervous men. They are
made of cowhide stretched across the
ravines after the manne OF modern
suspension bridges, and the floor path,
just wide enough for a mule to pass is
laid OF the branches OF trees lashedto-
gether with hides.

lead their mules when they cross these

happen, and when they do occur it is
usually because a traveller is reckless,
or a mule is green. The foxes some
times gnaw the hides, butno accidents
have occurred from this cause for
many years.
The journey on mule-back usually
takes five days of travel at the rate Of
thirty or forty miles a day, but good
riders with relays of mules often make
it in less than threedays. Long chap
ters might be written to describe the
scenery OF the mountains, which is as
sublime as can be found anywhere,

has been in use forcenturies. THERE'S
