A LOT Of Denver people propose to
attend the Harrison and Morton inaugu-
raj IN the typical dress of cowboys. The
idea seems to us a ridiculous one. Many
OF those who will wcar the dress probably
never followed a herd of cattle in their
lives and the costume will be as awkward
for them as though they were attired in a
dress of the time of the Roman empire,
However, if they are determined upon
some freak of the kind they can do no
better than to come to Cheyenne for the
desired articles. This is the headquarters
OF the entire West for the showiest cow
boy forgery that has ever yet been in
vented. A liberal discount will be made
for large orders, and Denver can't dupli-
cate the s'yle and prices. Come and see

1t is a queer psychological fact that
highly bred settlers and pointers, with
their instincts well developed. often be
come frightened at the first real opera
ton of the pointing instinct and never
recover from it. A local sportsman had
a well bred, fancy pedigreed setter which
he raised with due regard for his future
usefulness in the field, and at maturity
started out TO give him a trial on game.
True to his nature the dog galloped over
the fields in the merry style of his trained
ancestors, and coming suddenly upon a
large covey Of birds he stopped at the
scent of the birds In obedience to his
pointing instinct.
The dog had never seen a game bird,
and the odor of the cover rose so thickly
about him hat be was fairly intoxicated
with the delightful sensation of the
point" he shivered in his excitement,
and 30 pronounced was the effect upon
him that his hair rose with his sensa-
tons. Presently the birds began TO rise
with a noisy whir, and the unexpected
sight OF quails and the noise they made
getting away so alarmed the dog that he
turned tail and ran off to hide in the
bushes. Since that time the dogs fear
of birds has been so great that he always
runs away from them. He will hunt
diligently to find birds, and he will make
his point after they are found, but the
ome he stops to point he recollects
his first birds, and with the most abject
expression he steals away from the
object he has worked 80 hard TO find.
This popularity is by no G con
mon, and sporrsmen ave named the act
blinking. Chicago Tribune.

application:
The number OF able and enthusiastic
citizens who are willing and anxious to
devote their time and energies to the pos
tai service of st. Louis for the next four
years is encouraging" it says. THE list
gives assurance that whatever else may
happen to this great and growing town,
its business is not likely to suffer because
of inability TO find a postmaster. Mean

CLAIMS that there will be no necessity
for sacrifice on the part of any OF these
jealous persons for a little more than a
year and n half The business of the
ST. Louis post office is very well conducted
now.
I'VE cannot say much for the postal
service in general, and especially for the
railway mail service. But matters coming
properly under the Jurisdiction of the St
Louis post Office were never in better
shape than they are now. In other
words, st. Louis never had a better post
master bar the present incumbent, Mr..
William Hyde. He has proved himself
to be an active, Industrious and energetic
public officer. Why should he be turned
out before the expiration of his legal term
of tour years. The act could not be just
flied on any decent ground whatever; and
among all the applicants for his place we
do not know of a single one in whose
behalf it would be eIpedient to burglarize

The Deaf Mutes' Union League of
New York gave a ball on Wednesday
evening. A party of about 200 young
ladies' and Young men attended it, and
they formed a very happy and joyful COM
pany, Notwithstanding the fact that nearly
everyone OF them was both deaf and
dumb. There was excellent music, and
the dancers kept remarkably good time to
it, aided somewhat by the vibrations of
the orchestra and by watching each other
very closely. The young ladies we're ex-
cellent dancers. There was never aquieter
ball given in the city. The sound Of the
human voice vas rarely heard, but the
dancers kept up a lively conversation for
all that.

Beyond Gunnison City the railway
runs through the valley of the same
name, closely following the river. Soon
the well worn channel grows narrower,
tho cliffs noun higher; vegetation is
less abundant, and suddenly the sun,
light is entirely shut out by broken sum
mits, and the black canyon of the Gun
nison holds us fast in its embrace. This
gorge Is grander, deeper, darker and
more beautiful than the Royal which we
passed through earlier in the day. 1t is
thrice rs long and much more verdant,
and although its walls are of red sand
stone they are sufficiently dark hued to
give the place its name. At times the
canyon narrows and is full Of sharp
curves, but again it has long, wide
stretches. which enable one to study the
steep crags that tower heavenward tw o
or three thousand feet above us. An open
observation car is attached to the train,
and the lovers of nature feast upon the
charms Of this wonderful locality.
Currecanti Needle, the most abrupt of
the towering pinnacles, stands like a
grim sentinel, watching the canyons
solitudes. 1t is red hued from point to
base, and has all the grace and symmetry
of a C~leopatran obelisk. The sunlight
which bathes the pine tops in golden halo
never reaches down the dark red walls.
Huge powders lie scattered about and
project out many feet above the travel
ers' heads, rs though about to fall.
Somber shades prevail; fitful winds sweep
down tho deep clefts; the rushing green
hued river fills the space with sullen roar
Everything is on n scale of grand proper
tons; detail is s%upplanted by magnih-
cence, and ones feelings are stirred to
their very depths. Cor. New York
