There is nothing more interesting to study

the nests of all birds have something to do
with the color of the eggs, this may be thus
explained. Eggs Of blackbirds always vary
in markings, which are sometimes very curl

and light The bluebird's egg has q
standard size, but is often different in color.
The robins probably lay eggs more uniform

But there are exceptions to all these, for even

while others were round like marbles.
The size of the bird does not always regulate

Talking about smuggling reminds me Of .

''You know there is q duty on diamonds and
one Of the passengers had three large stones,
worth several thousand dollars, which he had
purchased in London The problem of how to
evade paying duty on the stones worried him
considerably, but at last he evolved plan,
and few days before the steamer arrived in
New York he proceeded to execute it.
1.-THE chief officer had Q little skye terrier.
and the passenger after considerable coaxing
induced him to sell the dog. As soon as the
smuggler gained possession Of the animal he
tied him up and gave him nothing to eat until
just before we were to go ashore. he then pro-
cured some fat meat from the cook, and cutting
off piece q little larger than a walnut made 8
hole in it into which he placed one Of the dia-
monds.
"a dog will generally bolt q piece of fat with.
out chewing it, and, Of course, . diamond will

the meat, as his owner expected he would, and
in short time the three diamonds were safely

1t rained SO hard last night that people
couldn't sleep for the noise, but the tents
bravely withstood the steady downpour and the
inmates emerged as bright as ever. ANY one
around the hotel tent in the small hours Of the
morning would have imagined himself at Bap-
fist immersion. Aparty which had taken sew
eral Of the tents in the large tent were SO
aroused by the rain that they all sat up and
sang hymns The lecture last night was very
amusing and interesting. 1t was delivered by
the Rev. G. Chapman Jones on "Americanisms.' -
He began with a discussion of the different dia-
lects Of the nations and closed with talk on
the peculiar expressions noticeable in the
American language, some Of the slang phrases
and colloquial dialects.
At 8 O'Clock this afternoon Mr.. Robert Niven
will lecture on ''Carlyle and Emerson, the
Scotch Prophe! and New England Seer" He

and speaks very interestingly of his life and
work and relation to other authors.
At 7:45 tonight there will be the usual must
cal prelude, and at Pm DR.. A. H. Gillet will
give I'm the Heart OF the Blue Ridge" illus
trated by stereopticoE. This is an entirely
new lecture, and the views are all carefully
selected and beautifully finished The subject

with part Of the country picturesque
and wild.
One of the most noted visitors on the grounds
yesterday was Hon. Fred. Douglass. He was
accompanied by several ladies and seemed
very much interested in the exercises.

FOR SALE-PIANOS.
UNJUSTLY IN PRISON.
John L. Campbell Convicted of . Crime He
Never Committed.

Never Committed.
The Denver Times publishes q sensational
story from Grand Junction, which, if true, will
iberate a man from the penitentiary, where he
is now serving a sentence of lifetime. During
the year 1888 John L. Campbell and Samuel L.
Jones were partners in q big cattle ranch near
Unawp canon, Mesa county. Col. On the after
noon of May 10 Jones left the ranch on horse
back for Silverton, expecting to reach there
some time the next day. Several hours later
Campbell also left the cabin for a distant part
of the ranch. Jones was never seen alive
after leaving the house and days afterward his
body was found in a lonely spot riddled with
bullets. Campbell was arrested for the murder
of his partner and though stoutly maintaining
his lnnocence he was convicted on circumstan-
tial evidence and sentenced to the penitentiary
at Canon City for thirty-three years.
During the trial Bob and Ira Smith,
two cowboys of the -man-with-a-gun'
order, were very jealous in their efforts to
fasten the crime on Campbell and were very in
dignant that he should escape with his life and
organized a mob to lynch him, but were frus-
trated- The cowboys hung around Grand juno
ton for two years, when, with the aid of three
embryo BLACK Barts," they held up and robbed
the Rlo Grande express train ten miles east of
Denver. The robbers were finally arrested in
Utah and brought to Denver and lodged in
jail. where they made the acquaintance of
Newt. Norce, man killer from Deer Trail. who
was awaiting his sentence. The Smiths and
Norce became friends AMI exchanged conf
dences. The former were convicted OF robbing
the train and sentenced to a long term in
prison at LARAMIE City, Wyo, and Vorce is re-
siding with the states warden at Canon City.
Norce now tells story which is to the effect
that they are the men who killed Jones and
that Campbell Is innocent. The crime was
committed at the instigation of other parties
who were interested in law suit with Jones at
Telluride. They also drew a diagram for Vorce
showing where Jones saddle, lot of valuables
and -, 500 in cash was buried, four miles from
Unawp ranch. The matter will be investigated
and, if found to be true. the governor will be
asked to give Campbell his liberty.

The Sentence Suspended.

Aaron Walker, colored man with q large
scar on his head that was inflicted by being
kicked by horse, was defendant in the Po-
lice Court today. He was charged with as
saulting a small boy named George Forrest.
He struck the boy ON the head with piece Of
brick.
Walker is subject to fits and at times his mind
seems affected. He claims that the boy threw
sand in his face and 80 irritated him that he
threw the brick.
Judge Miller told him that nothing short OF
insanity would justify such an assault.
Mr.. H. C. Cromwell, in whose family the
negro has resided. told of the latter's condition
and said he would do the best he could to keep
him on his premises
Under those conditions Judge Miller sus-
pended sentence.
