CoLoRADo's FIRST GOLD.
How the Discovery of the Precious
Metal Was Made In That
State.

On May 8, 1859, as stated in Fossett's
Colorado G876), John Gregory. a
prospector, climbed the hill into what
is known as Gregory Gulch midway
between the present Central City and
Black Hawk scraped away the grass
and leaves, filled his gold pan with
dirt and took it down to the stream.
Upon banning (washing) it down,
there was about 81 worth of gold in it.
This was followed by a stampede to the
Gregory diggings, as they were after
ward called. Gregory employed five
men from the new arrivals, and by
means of a sluice took out 1912 in ono
week. Other rich strikes were made
almost daily and large amounts Of gold
were taken out in short time.
The Bates, Bobtail, Mammoth, Gun
nell, Burroughs, Illinois and hundreds
of other lodes were found, and thou
sands of claims were taken up. As the
summer of 1859 advanced the wealth of
the gold veins and gulches of what il
now GiIpin county became more and
more apparent. Over $4,000 men were
congregated in Gregory, Russell and
tributary gulches, and many of them
were accommodating wealth rapidly;
but everything valuable was soon pre-
empted and large numbers were forced
to hunt their fortunes elsewhere.

LADIES GO FROG HUNTING.
1t Is Faworite Amusement of French
Women at COnstan-
tinOple.

One of the favorite amusements of
French ladies at Constantinople is
frog hunting, says the London Tele-
graph. a large party is organized, the
ladies all appear in dainty Partisan tot
lettes, with very high heels to their
boots, and each carries long bamboo
rod. The gentlemen are got up in prop
err costume for "la chasse" and bear
sticks. Then they all adjourn to some
marshy spot where frogs abound and
begin fishing. The bait is piece of
raw meat tied to a string at the end
of the bamboo.
The ladies do the fishing, and as soon
as one sees that frog has swallowed
the bait she gives a violent jerk to the
rod, which brings the frog out onto
the land. The attendant sportsmen
then fall upon the ferocious animal
and slay it with their sticks. The Ia
dies sometimes also join in the last IA
tai act, but the men always try to dis
suade them, as in their excitement
they frequently mistake mans head
or foot for the frog and the sport De
comes too dangerous.

Transporting GentIewomen.

The subject of emigration for gentle
women is attracting an increasing
amount of attention throughout the
British empire, both in the mother
land, where the surplus and unem-
ployed woman is a serious problem,
and in the colonies, where these same
women are sorely needed, says the
New York Tribune. 1t is said this is
partly the result of the Boer war. The
intense patriotism of the Beers and
their faith in their cause is generally
attributed to the lessons learned at
home from the women. A life in the
wilderness might not be regarded as
alluring, but there are compensations,
for while the average woman in the
older countries is an unapprecia BILE
unit, even if not actually Surplus, -
the woman in pioneer society is an ae-
knowiedged power.

r1r. Austin's Latest.

All of Alfred Austin's latest, dedi-
Gated with warmeSt sympathy to the
American people" has not been re-
published from the New York Irde-
pendent. Here is the second stanza:
Both spoke the tongue that Milton spoke,
Shakespeare and Chatham welded,
Aud Washington and ali his folk
When their just claim was yielded.
In itboth lisp, both learn, both pray,
Dirge death. aud thus the tether
Grows tighter, tenderer, every day,
That binds the two together.
Shakespeare may have wa yeed hnt
he never, strictly or poetic ,AIIy sneak
ing, "wielded" his 9tc,pne Neither
did Washington with s1vhom the
SWORD was mig liter than tongue or
pen Inc pet laureate of the whole
EngllSh-S, peaking race is therefore in
error in speaking of Shakespeare,
chatham, Washington, and all of
washington folks welding the same
tongne; unless he has some nebulouS
reference in mind to the old fashioned
smoke houses, where tongue and other
meats were hung up and no doubt at
times athletically welded. 1t is no
excuse on poetical-licentious grounds
for the Poet Laureate to urge that it
was essential to lind rhyme for yield
ed. The sober prose of it is that
WaShlngton'S claims were never yield
ed, but enforced, vi ct arms.
Furthermore, the Laureate's allus-
ion to dirging death may be passed
over in silence; but not his picture OF
England and the United States being
Jethered. Says the Standard Diction-
airy, copy of which onght to be sent
to Mr. Austin on general principles:
tether, n. Something used to check
or contine, especially a rope for fast
ening an animal, as to stake, SO as
To limit its range.
The word means, etymologically. j
halter and has no analogy to SIAM
csc connecting link. ''It may be de-
clared in word" Washington IS
quoted as writing towards the close
of the war, "that we are at the end
of our tether, and that now or never
our deliverance must come" Come
itdid, and we have beennever teth--
cred since.
Mr.. Austin begins his poem:
VINO say cherish far Ell feud.
Still nurse the aacieHt grudgee:
Shnw me the title of this brood
OF self appointed judges;
Their name, their race, their nation, clan.
And we will teach them whether
We do not, none others can,
Feel. think and work together.
The Poet Laureate is from Mis-
souri, on this proposition of luck of
brotherly love between Uncle Sam
and John Bull; and he is right about
our not cherishing ancient grudges.
We are liable to cherish some new
and modern grudgeS, howe YER, unless
he breaks himself of the habitof dedi-
eating his verses to this country
Capital. During the last campaign
the Capital was one of the most rabid
Anglo maniacS in the country but we
are glad to see even that partisan
sheet is getting its eyes opened.

They are built of wood. In the
