Colorado.s Peculiar winds.

swell, no, said the Coloradan, 1--WE don't
have any winds to amount to ANYTHING, but
1t blows few minutes there now and then.
The winds are peculiar, too; never saw any
thing like them anywhere else. They are
what you might call discriminating breezes.
I've seen a man so along the street, and it
would be blowing hurricane on one side of
him; and on the other side it would be dead
calm. I've seen mule stand braced against
the wind blowing behind her, with her tail
blown right up straight, and one ear put
away ahead of her nose, while the ear on the
other side would be i'll natural, calm posi-
ton, and that side of the beast would be
sweating 1t will take the skin off one side of
your face and not touch the other. | saw a
man with whiskers get one side of his face
shaved by wind like that, as clean as any
barber could do it, A small boy and dog
We're walking up the street with him at the
time, and they each lost one ear. I've seen a
man lose one leg of his pants and coat tail,
and get his hat knocked all over on one side.
They don't do any particular damage, those
winds, but they are as peculiar as can be!"-

usual pleasant remarks introduced, to crowded
audience at the court house tonight, Hon. j. d.
Savers
The major proceeded to discuss many important
questions In reference to the surplus in the treas
ury and payment of the public debt. lie intro
duced figures showing the amount on hand. claim
ing that the surplus should be applied TO the pay
ment of bonds now due and redeemable at the OPP
ton of the government lie pointed out the differ
ence of the law here and in England, where In the
latter the holding of the bonds was source Of
revenue to tho public exchequer He quoted from
the different presidents who all urged the payment
of all public Indebtedness and denouncing the sys-
TEN Of funding as plan by which the larger por-
ton of the people were mortgaged TO the smaller
with scarcely hope of even being redeemed.
Mr. Sayers also showed how the heavy inter
est the United States has paid since the war oper-
ated on different parts of the country, and con-
tributed in no small degree to the pecuniary EN-
barrasments of the present time.
In speaking of the Blair bill he denounced the
policy, and showed that the federal constitution
did not warrant the slightest authority of the ex-
ercise OF such power The education of the
people belonged exclusively TO the states and the
real object of the bill is to depote the treasury
and to extend the power and to broaden the juris
dicton of the federal government
Abiding TO the policy of the general govern
ment he showed the amount of land granted to
railroads, wagonroads, ETC., through fraudulent
entries under the redemption acts,
and the enormous amount due
on subsidies 10 be over one
hundred million dollars. SThe major declared
himself in favor of the enforcement of the collec
ton Of this amount at maturity and the forfeiture
of the unused land grants.
In discussing the tariff, he proclaimed himself
thoroughly and sincerely in favor of reform and
reduction. lie opposed the relieving of liquors
and tobacco of taxation, and backed up his argu-
ments with facts and figures lie concluded with
an earnest appeal to the people to not become dis
heartened, aud after interesting the large audience
for two hours the major bid them good night.

Marian, Marian, Marian"
He howled and he whined in a desolate way,
'Mariar, Marian, lIariar,"
And all he appeared to be able to say
Was "Riar, Marian, Marian"
He howled and he walled this singular cry,
With sob in his throat and a tear in his eye,
And started to see if bootjack was nigh
'AIariar, Marian, Marian
And that was the last time the Thomas cat CRIED
Marian, Marian, Marian"
For he dropped from the fence to the ground,
where he died,
Singing "Riar, Marian, Mariar;"
picked up a bootjack of seven pounds weight,
aimed at his head and l threw very straight,
And all that he said though its strange to relate,
Was ''Riar Marian, Marian"
