Colorado Az Sam. "n,..e.,,."

One of the TRiBUNE's subscribers
at Fowler writes to inform US that
the "Mizzouvi' story in our last
issue is not "unprecedented in the
early history Of legal proceedings
in Colorado" The story related
by the writer is probably an
evidence OF the fact that "Miz-
zourians" were among the early
settlers in Colorado, and intro
duced the legal methods to which
they had been accustomed, in this
section. The Fowler story is as
follows: "APpropos Of your arti-
cle in the issue OF August 2Ist,
relating to the action OF a notary
public, clerk of the district court,
and complainant in the same case,
/ wish to mention an instance oi
similar character, which occurred
in Pueblo county, near here,
some years ago. The Santa Fe
agent was also postmaster and
justice OF peace. One day some
tramps committed slight ofense
on the railroad property, near the
station, within his observation.
The agent personally appeared
before himself as justice Of peace,
made complaint, which was duly
verified under oath, case docketed,
warrent issued and delivered to
himself as specially appointed
constable to serve. Tramps arrest
ed, brought into court, tried,
same party being sworn as prose-
cutting witness; prisoners convict
ed and sentenced to sixty days in
county Jail; mittimus issued and
given to same individual, who
took prisoners to Jail, where sen
tence was duly served.
s'Ail Of which is a matter Of
record and can be verified. !
merely mention this circumstance
to show that the action of the
district clerk in "Mizzouri," was
not unprecedented in the early
history Of legal proceedings in
Colorado.

In the midst of the furriers from St

progressing, amidst the rows of upturned
faces are sallow Tartars, pale-haired
Scandinavians, and swarthy Roumanians,

strengthen ones conviction that there is
money in the fur trade.
What bizarre destiny for the glossy
coated deniZens of the distant sub-Arctic
forests: first to be trapped or shot by the
hardy Indian, collected into bundles by
the half-breed, and received by the pale
face factor at some remote fort on the
shores of that inland sea which bears old
Hendrix Hudson's name. Here, although
this journey itself has been performed
under almost incredible hardships and Sc
verities for the Company's servants, the
animal but begins his real though pos

flock to meet him; he is carried off to
Leipsic to be cured and dressed, and per-
chance eventually finds his way to Mos

When youth reaches manhood he is
tattooed-that is, SCARED with deep
gashes along his back and bosom.
Their legends, which are numerous. are
not lacking in poetic sentiment. The heat
OF the sun. they say, shows that it needs
fuel, of which it procures fresh supply
when it descends below the horizon. The
stars are the chiefs dwelling place when
deceased; while to eat the kidney of an
enemy imparts the strength of the dead
man.
The natives were used by the settlers
to hunt for escaped convicts, being equal
to bloodhounds in their scent.
With civilization the aborigines have
disappeared from the settled portions, and
it is only a question of time before they
will become extinct. And thus, by re-
search only, do we realize the step of the
progress of civilization in Australia, once
practically unknown, save as the home of
criminals, and at the present sought not
only by those whose fortunes or health
are at low ebb, but by the progressive
men of today.

RECENT LITERATURE.
OF

HISTORY OF THE S3D IND. By
John II. Mcbride, the last Adjutant OF
the Regiment. To be had of Capt
Chas. Seaton, Martinsville, Ind.
The 33d Ind was one of the splendid
organizations which helped to make such
a glorious history for the Army of the
Cumberland. 1t went out in September,
1861, under the command of Col John
Coburn, helped much to win the first
victory IN kentucky-at Wildcat Gap,
1865.
This is model history in its way-tells,
mainly, in a bright, conversational way
the doings of the regiment and brigade,
and the main regret is that it is not many
times longer. 1t is one Of the books that
one reads interestedly from title page to
iinIs. But small edition has been pub
lished, and those desiring copies should

Sixty varieties live on this island. The
Tyre bird is very beautiful; its tail when
spread resembles a Tyre. An amusing
anecdote is told concerning this bird,

employer, do you call it lawyer bird?'

has big brow and long bill"

which is spread the yellow flowers OF the

The leathery turtle found on these
shores are often nine feet in length, while
the crocodile is 30 feet long. There are

their bronze backs and green legs. But
| the most dreaded are the aan-eating
sharks, which infest these coasts. Or
snakes there are 63 varieties, FIVE of which
are poisonous.
When the country was first discovered
there were about 10000 aborigines; they
were cOffee-c -colored, and averaged in size
| about five feet six inches, with wayy hair,
| crisp boards and dark eyes.
No system of Government was found
here. The natives were divided into
many small tribes, constantly at war with
each other. No trace of religion was evil

be of Buddha, "a gigantic old man who
| had lain asleep for ages, and who is ex-
pected to awake some day and devour the

Their dress was a cloak of mating or
skin, fastened with a skewer on the right
side. Their huts were sheets of bark, put
up to the windward, and called mia

By the Spirit OF Wine the devil may
accomplish all his purposes, and through

such as, gladness and mirth; but tho
gaye'y Of the cup soon turns to sadness

Other promises he makes are physical

these promises become trembling and
blear-eyed; prey to every disease; they
are stricken by the heat and perish by
the cold.
The deceitful spirit urges the broken
