The Rev. Myron Reed recited an
amusing incident of his military ca
reer at the Loyal Legion banquet the
other night. His regiment got into
Nashville one morning, and the fol-
lowing morning he was to go and re
lieve the guard at the Capitol. He
took up his company, and was told
the first business was to put the pris-
oners to work to clean out the place.
He set them to work with mops, pals
and brooms, and just as they were
fairly at work person came up and
wanted to know what he was doing
making such noise.
Here, | don't want anything of
that, said Mr.. Reed. Just get your
broom and help these men.
Do you know who | am?
No, l don't know, and | told him
again to get his broom and pail and
fall in quick. Then he introduced
himself-Andrew johnson, military
governor of the state of Tennessee,
and | excused him.

There is a sunken forest Of white
cedar in New Jersey which has been
continuously mined for valuable tim
Der for over eighty years. The curl
GUS industry of digging for the sunk
en- logs is carried on by the people of
DennisviIle, Cape May county, vii
lage which was brought into existence
solely through the wealth of the bur-
led timber in its vicinity. Over the
sunken forest trees of large size are
growing, and in many instances these
are cut away in order to get at the
more valuable timber. which lies only
three OF four feet below the surface.
The exact age in which they lived is a
matter of curious conjecture. 1t is
probable that they were buried many
centuries ago by the action of an
earthquake. Commercial ADVERTISER.

The census of 1890 will show the popula.
tion Of the country to be slightly in excess of
81, 100000. Never in the history of the world
has there been such phenominal growth,
growth with all the elements of strength
and permanent prosperity Us that of the
United States. A hundred years ago the
wealth and strength of the land was east of
the Allegheny mountains; the west, as we
unstand it to-day, was unknown; that vast
scope Of country called the Louisiana pur.
chase had not yet been obtained from FRANCE;
Florida was owned by Spain. and the north.
ern boundary Of Mexico was an indefinite
line extending through Kansas aud Colorado
to the Pacific coast. 5 The country on the
northeast and the northwest were unknown
or in dispute; the negro was a chattel and
woman a servant. A century with ITS wars
of sword and pen has effected the marvellous
change that the last years Of the twentieth
century enjoy.
1t is not too much to expect that within
tile next hundred years, even during the
lives of those now taking all active part in
the nations al.irs, the English speaking
people of America will become one nation in
fact as well as in common ties of interest.

Last Wednesday the Independents

Denver and nominated state ticket. So
far as the ability aud reputation of the nomi-

but independent moves of this sort can never
be a success. the co mprising elements are too
prone to stick to the acquired habit of kick

sake of the Independence than the principals
of the party. 1he two old parties are the
ones from which We must expect good.

Delta county is in the midst oi inasriii-
cent harvest of grain. II is reported that in
maly instances the oat crop produces 100
bushels to the acre. This is magnificent
showing for the new agricultural district of
Western Colorado. 1t also testifes to the
value of irrigation. There is q great deal Of
just such land as that which has proauced
these crops not only in Delta but also in
Montrose, Mesa and Garfield counties. In
fact, the valleys of the Uncompahgre, the
Gunnson and the Grand rivers contain some
OF the finest agricultural land in the Far
West. The day will come when those val
