In view of the misleading state
ments made in various papers as to
the condition OF the Colorado State
bank and In Gases rejecting upon the
management which the bank has had
in late years. we are permitted TO
print the above letters which we are
sure will be source of qualification
to the depositors whose interests are
involved.
The Herald aims to print only facts
and no paper should make untruthful
or vicious statements as to assets.
which are the perfection of depositors,
with the object of injuring the value
of the assets and thereby injuring de
positors while pretending hyprocritical
solicitude for them. These letters
speak for themselves.

Tho Madriaal.

The word madrigal sounds very formidable to a beginner in music. More than once have I heard the ques tion. What is madrigal?" Strictly speaking, 8 madrigal is an elaborate vocal composition in from three to six parts, generally sung in chorus. The melody should not be carried through . single part but tAhould be dispersed in phrases through the different voices in the conversational manner peculiar to the music of the sixteenth and sev. enteenth centuries. The true madrigal has no accompaniment This form of song Is considered English, but Is thought to have had its origin in the Netherlands. The exact derivation of the word is not known. The first madrigals are believed to have been morning songs, shepherds lays or songs in praise of the Virgtn.-Circie Magazine.
