Ram STAYED OFF a War.


at is strange that the newspapers
don't print Colorado news" said man
from the Centennial State yesterday.
1--WE came near having the biggest riot
this country ever saw. yet l never saw a
word about it in the papers. I'll iell
you about it.
''Several months ago party of Eng
lishmen formed company for the pur-
pose of building a canal through the
dry and arid agricultural districts of
the State. The organization was known
as the High Line or Canal Company.
Work on the ditch was completed last
summer.
when all was ready to irrigate the
farms, which were then burning up
under the blazing sun, the corporation
raised cir scale of prices for service to
such an exorbitant figure that the farm
ers rebelled. The drouth continued un.
I'll the wells and springs dried up.
Notwithstanding the deplorable con
di ion of the agriculturists, the company,
whose ditch was bank full of water,
refused to cut their rates to a point
where the farmer could moisten his
farm and thus save his crops.
II NOW lIldl Inlu0S began TO take
a serious turn. The farmers threatened
TO cut the ditch unless the company re-
coded from their position and warned
the Governor of the State on Friday
that unless he took steps III their interest
before the following Tuesday they
would take the matter into their own
hands The Eng ishmen, becoming
alarmed at the threats Of the irate farm
ers, posted armed men along the banks
of the ditch and gave them instructions
to shoot down the first man who should
attempt to wreck the works.
Saturday and Sunday passed with
out any word from the Governor. On
Monday the farmers armed themselves
with rifles and shOtguns, preparatory to
storming the ditch all along the line
the following morning. When the sun
went down that evening the feeling was
general that battle would be fought
within twenty-four hours.
During the night fierce rainstorm
burst over the disturbed district, resus
citating the dropping vegetation and
filling the streams to overlooking. The
casus belli having been removed by the
of the elements, the farmers
dropped their guns and set about their
work You see, this is a rather in
teIesting incident of Western life, from
the fact that a rainst0rm saved many
human lives"

Beautiful and Wealthy.

The Philadelphia Times says: The
most beautiful aoman in New York
who is she, what is she and what is she
like! Laying aside the often disputed
question as to whether beauty is purelv
or in part subjective or objective, this
title is said to belong now to the beau
tiiul widow Of the late Louis G. Ham
mersly, who has just reappeared in New
York society after the conventional
period of mourning. The records show
her to be ii daughter of Commodore
Pnce, Of the UniteI States Navy, and
locate her birth in Troy, n. Y, little
over twcutysiX years ago. She is tall,
erect and slender, and has face of I'M
usual sweetness. Her costumes are
wonders of artistic construction and she
has not this season Worn one of them
twice. Her Jewels, too, have been
changed every night. When i'll quite
young she married the eccentric Mr..
Hammersly, who was as rich as CrUsus
and AS erratic as Edgar A. Poe. If ever
a woman was wildly loved it is SAID that
Mrs. Hapmers!y was that woman. Both
before and after his marriage the hus-
band Of her choice lavished attentions
upon her, said and believed her the
queenliest of quecnly women and proved
his sincerity by bequeathing his entire
fortune to her The tattlers tell that she
was won by her husbands money and
not Ivy his intrinsic worth, but her quiet
devotion to him during her five Years
of married life is an argument they
never touch. Not many women, even in
moneycd New York, can boast of hav-
ing -. 000, 00Gin her own right, and yet
Mrs. Hammersly has more than that in
addition to her physical charms.

How a Farmer Puzzled a p g.

A farmer was annoyed by one of his
neighbours pigs blowing his rye field and

his own, he had not really gone through
the log, so in he went again and out

Calm and Candid.

When General Sherman entered Colds

on his way to join Grant before Rich
mond, there dwelt in that town GER
tain Col. n, who was one of the most
rabid Secessionists that could be found
His house was situated in the north end
of the CITY and at the end of u street, so
that anv one coming into the town from
the south would see his residence as
soon as he would enter the south end of
this same street. When General Sher-
man and staff came INTO the town they
came up this street and stopped just In
front of Colonel KS residence; the Col
Unel, who was out on his porch, greeted
them, and an officer, saluting him,
asked what his sentiments were in re
gard to the war.
~ am a strong Union man, answered
the Colonel, with dry smile.
'Ah, indeed" said the officer, rather
sarcastically; land how long have you
been a Union man :"
II have been Union man. said the
Colonel, slowly, and as if considering
his words, ''eyer since | saw you and
your staff come into the end of that

Tired Eyes.

People speak about their syes being
| tired, meaning that the retins, or seeing
portion of the eye, is fatigued, but such
is not the case, az the retiua hardly ever
gets tired The fatigue is in the inner
and outer muscles attached to the eye
ball and the muscle of accommodation,
which surrounds the lens of the eye.
When near object is to be look ed at
this muscle relaXes and allows the lens
TO thicken, increasing its refracting
power. The inner and outer muscles
are used in covering the eye on the OBJ
ject to be looked at, the inner one being
especially used when near object is
looked at. 1t is in the three muscles
mentioned that the fatigue is felt, and
relief is secured temporarily by closing
the eyes or gazing at far-distant objects

preacher, to this broad land of ours,
| and especially in the matter of religion.
| What names and denominations we had !.
,, " hat variety of creeds! What room
for choice! Why raise difficulties
about tri1eS The whole land was be-
fore them, with all the creeds in Chris
tendon. They could have their choice.
''Let there be no strife between us"
''Is not the whole land before thee I"
If we ultimately arrived safe at the
grand central depot of the universe
Haven't would be small question
whether we came by the broad or the
narrow gauge.
1t was an important question, accord
ing to the preacher, what should be the
rule when wife differed from husband
or when husband differed from wife in
religious matters. Should the wife go
with the husband, or should the hus-
band go with the wife =? DR.. Talmage
took the ground that there was saving
influence in each of the evangelical
churches; and he argued, first, that if
one or the other was not a Christian, it
was the duty of the one who was to
make every sacrifice to save the other
"ALighty God" the preacher ex-
claimed raising his eyes and his hands
to heaven, sis it conceivable that any
one will sickle about tribes, as names,
denominations, creed, litanies, forms
and methods of baptism and such like,
when an immortal soul is in peril e.
The preacher argued In the second
place that if either husband or wife was
too rigidlv sectarian to believe that sal
vatiOn was outside the church of her or
his preference it was the duty of the
stronger minded and the more generous
to yield to the other.
Il like them all, = said DR.. Talmage.

with them all, preach to them all, be

nothing OF sectarian sentiment. | like
the liturgy of Eplscopacy, the warmth
OF the Methodists, the liberty of the
Congregationalists and the strength of

1t was argued in the third place that
if both were stubborn then they should
agree to differ. Let each go where 1t
was most agreeable. Let them avoid
wrangling before their children and be-
fore their servants And then about the
children Let them choose for them
selves. The children were often quite
as able to decide as their parents, and it
was often found that the children
brought about agreements upon church
questions when all other means failed.
After all, the great matter was not creed,
but salvation.

A Ricn Illinois Woman. :
from the Chicago MALL


Except that Cresus in corsets, the
CHILEAN donna we read about, Mrs.
Meredith, of Cambridge City, is the
cattle queen of the world She is now
in this city and lifted my hat to her
yesterday. Mrs. NJ. is the widow of
Gen. Meredith. Gen. Meredith, when
he was alive, was one of the pioneer fine
cattle breeders in this country. He be-
came rich as the craze for high priced,
imported short horns grew, until in the
eos and the early '70s he was worth
probably $500, 90. He had the Airdries,
and paid out SO, ZOO as readily for a
bull that happened to be after his own
heart as more conservative men paid out
mon ey for good lands with houses on
them. But the General went broke when
the craze subsidized. His son failed after
him, but the widow. with all her style
and grace, had better head for bust
ness than either the husband or son.
She took the herds that were left an
managed them, and, where both men
had failed, she succeeded.
Gen. Meredith used to own $40, 900
bulls and ran to So, 900 calves. His
handsome widow has got over that folly.
Sic breeds cattle for money, not for
glory. The General was quixotc from
the standpoint of cattle men. The
widow is practical. The modern idea
in cattle raising is to raise herd and to-
breed it up until it has certain distinct
i've characteristics fine beef, for in
stance, or of fine, rich milk, or of great
beauty. Mrs. Meredith would be happy
if she could sell twenty calves a year for
$3.50 apiece. The General was never
satisfied unless he could have sale once
in two years. and could get S., 900 or
$40, 900 for his cows and bulls. Cattle
men now are gratified if they can take
their customers out into their fields and
show them herd OF cattle each one of
which is so much alike every other one
that there is no distinguishing them
This is the latter day theory; the Gen
erals was the old fashioned. Men and
women are getting rich now breeding
fine animals. All the old cattle lords
who held the Generals views went broke
IN 1875.

Newspaper Sensations

The newspapers relate two different
stories IL at are equally remarkable as
illustrations of the strange things that
of human lie, and the romance that
often attaches to a criminal career. BY
the filing of the will of Juan Peiro
Terry, wealthy Cuban planter who re-
Gently died in Paris, his widow is made
a millionaire, and an unborn child be-
comes a legatee to the extent of
$1,000, 900. The peculiar part of this
affair is that Mrs. Terry began her
career as q barmaid in Liverpool, was
afterward married to Bullard, famous
bank burglar, whom she left when she
discovered that he had a wife living,
and finally contracted an alliance with
Terry, the son Of the wealthiest planter
in Cuba. By his death she and her
children are lett with an immense for
tuneg The other case is that of Hope,
another bank burglar, and probably the
most daring and skillful craftsman in
his line living. So successful have his
burglaries been that he is now worth
more than half a million, but his money
is of little service. Hope has just con-
cluded term of eight years in Cali
fornia prison, and upon his release he
was taken in charge by an officer, who
will bring him to New York city to be
tried for robbing the Manhattan Saw
ings Institution in 1873. There is little
doubt of his conviction, since most of
his coadjutors are at present serving
long terms for the same crime. 1t is
probable. therefore, that in spite of his
wealth Hope. who is now fifty six
years of age, will be forced to spend
twenty years more In confinement. The
way of even the successful transgressor
is sometimes hard.
