1t is laughable, to say the least, to
read in a state paper that Nichols
was obliged to withdraw from the gu
bernatorial canvass in 1884 because of
his attempt to make use of his posi-
ton as chairman of tie Republican
State Committee to advance his per-
sonal interests, and that, therefore,
{. S. Page, occupying the same po-
sition on the State Committee, should
not be nominated. The LITER has
a very distinct recollection of that
campaign. 1t opposed Nichols, but
not upon that ground, and it has no
recollection of hearing of that charge
at that time. Nichols was ''run off
the track" by being charged with sell
ing liquor and on account Of his
knowp close affiliations with the Cen
tral Vermont rail- Dad dynasty
"Only this and nothing more.
These charges are not likely to affect
chairman Page.

A TALE OF LONELY GULCH.
TRUE STORY OF TWO GRAVES IN THE
ROCKY MOUNTAINS.

An Old Prospector Tells of an Affecting
Separation Between Man and Wife.
"Over the Range' from q Miners Cabin
In North Park.
81 noticed few weeks ago in your
paper description of lonely graves in
the mountains of Colorado" remarked
gentleman to the writer Monday. cat
the time read it was travelling in the
southern portion of the state, and it re-
called to mind two lonely graves that
know of which lie hidden in the recesses
If the mountains in Routt county. Of
course, there is history attached to
them, and if you have time l will spin
the yarn"
Being informed by the scribe that lie
always had time to listen to a good story,
the gentleman said:
''In the year 1872 was prospecting in
the neighborhood of Hans Peak and the
Rabbit Ear range, and at that time very
little was known of the rich silver veins
which traversed that portion of the state,
There were other prospectors in the coun-
try and the few of us felt elated over the
finding of several leads that contained
gray copper, and we went to work with
will to open the veins up. You have
no idea of the many difficulties that one
has to contend with in a new country
and the privations one has to suffer. But
the excitement attending the life of a
prospector that some day he will strike
it and be recompensed for ali his trouble
buoys him up, and he endures all hard
ships and privations with good grace.
The country at that time was well
stocked with game, and we never had
any difficulty in procuring all the fresh
meat that was needed. | had built a

sentinels.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From A Live VermOnter.-HOw Our
Law Makers Act.

Law Makers Act.
Calling to mind the exercises in oul
school books, read and oftentimes COM
mitted to memory, containing the utter
ances of Webster, Calhoun, Sumner, Clay
and the many others, in the halls of Con-
gress, we are apt to think of this body of
men as unusually sedate and dignified in
their department. You will be surprised
to learn that the formal proceedings of
no body or gathering of men in the
country are conducted with less decorum
and considerate attention upon the part of
those engaged. A district school meeting,
presided over by some illiterate person
unable to properly pronounce two lines of
common reading, and split up into heated
factions by a ten years feud, will not ex-
hibit one-half the disorder and disrespect
often witnessed in Congress.
Take the Senate for instance. Hardly
an occasion will occur when any conSid-
cradle part of the body are paying any at
tention whatever, to the proceedings be-
fore them. One of the greatest and most
noted members may be delivering himself
of a'master effort, laying himself out with
all his strength of mind and limb, utter
ing passages that will be spread upon the
pages of every newspaper in the land,
and his brother members are, meanwhile,
enjoying the delicacics of the restaurant,
hob-nobbing in the cloak rooms, or are
gathered in small knots in the very SEN
ate chamber itself conversing in audible
tones with each other. Two weeks of
constant attendance never disclosed any
time when the majority of the members
were paying attention to the proceedings.
And these proceedings are actually open
ed with pray er, which is very often, how
ever, the only fitting part of the exercises
since the Lord only is there to listen.
Take, for instance, the afternoon of
March 9TH. senator Blair from New
Hampshire is speaking upon his pet edu-
cational bill, a bill moinentous in its ef-
fects, and we find listening Evarts turn
ing half around in his chair; Payne from
Ohio. who seemed to be ever the most at
! tentive of all; Voorhees, who shortly
