Chain Letter Nuisance.

Let us trust that the governors
interference with the chain prayer
letter business will put an end to one
form of impertinent demand upon the
courtesy of men and women. This
particular letter was especially often.
sive because it involved a kind of
threatening of the persons receiving
the letter if they "broke the chain"
The object of the letter was not in
itself dishonorable on its face; it was
to circulate prayer alleged to have
been composed by Bishop Lawrence.
The prayer was all right, and it would
do no harm to those receiving it. 1t
was, nevertheless, an act of imposi-
tion to send 1t to persons with a re-
quest that each receiver should send
a copy to nine others.-Boston Her

Mrs. Lou j. Rountree.

Mrs. Lou J. Rountree, died Wednes-
ay at her home at Kenton, West Ten
essee. Mrs Rountree formerly made
er home near Carter's Greek and was
eloved by all the people of her COM
munity. She had been a great suf-
ferer for the past few years of her
life but bore her affection with pa
fence and bravery and awaited with
simple and unchanging faith the call
of the Master, whom she had served
irce childhood. A few months since
he moved to West Tennessee with
er aged husband, and it was thought
first the change had been of bene-
fit, but such was not the case. A let
er from the bereaved husband to the
Herald contained the following:
To My Many Friends.
Mrs. Lou ]. Rountree departed this
life August 18th, Wednesday, at 1875

for a number of years, and we feel
sure she is in a better world than
this. May. the good Lord bless us
all. C. w. ROUNTREE.

(Denrer Republican, ~e
One Of the most amazing exper,
fences that has ever befallen an East
er1 man in Colorado befell C. H. Ora
ham, of Chicago Sunday, on the top
of the continental divide on the Mof-
fat road, when he had his feet frost
bitten after having spent two and a
half hours walking around on the
huge drifts Of perpetual snow.
Mr.. Grahan and a friend, Douglas
Budd, passenger conductor RUNNING
out Of Des Moines. Iowa, went to the
crest of the divide on the morning
train and stopped off at Corona, where
there is an intermission of two and
half hours before the train back to
Denver arrives. The two men were
greatly interested in the snow at the
top of the divide and spent the en-
tire time shoveling it to ascertain the
depth of the drift.
Mr. Budd decided after spending
an hour on the snow that he was get
ting cold feet, and went to the sta
tion, but Mr. Graham persevered in
the work of investigation. He wore
low shoes, and as result of his
perambulations over the snow his feet
and lower limbs were thoroughly
chilled.
After he got on the train he was
with excruciating pains in
his legs. and on arriving in Denver
went to the Office of DR.. HI. H. Martin,
in the Cooper block, who pronounced
his case one of frostbite, and applied
the customary remedies.

When the veteran editor Henry

the students of Brown university at
it's commencement exercises he ad-
vised the young men to go south. He
knew whereof he spoke. The land
beyond what was once Mason and
Dixon's line has at last awakened in
dustriously and the people are begin

sents an investment of $10,000,000.
During the last year the building i'm
provements in San Antonio, Texas,
cost $1,021 900. The years record for
Chattanooga is about s1,500,000. Dur
ing the same month for Louisville,
KY, they cost s495,OOO; for Atlanta,
Ga, $5S7,000. A significant feature
of this record is the fact that some of
the best of the new buildings are rail-
road stations Atlanta has fine new
passenger depot and Birmingham,
Ala, Memphis, New Orleans and Lit
tie Rock will soon be similarly pro-
vided. The southern states are sure
