THE AMATEURS AT TRINITY CENTER.
Bills have been printed and circulated
for the Amateurs performance Of Trinity
Center, on Tuesday, the Goth inst. In
speaking of the affair last week, we re-
marked that the troupe would give their
first performance for the benefit Of Mrs.
Coyle. AS people might draw a wrong
inference from the remark, we will state
here that the ball and supper will be Civ
en- at the Trinity Center Hotel, which is
under Mrs. Coyle's management, and
that the Amateurs, with the intention Of
having general good time" proposed to
unite their performance with the ball and
let the price of tickets include admission
to both, to those who desired to dance.
Our attention has been called to the mat
ter by n note from Trinity Center friend
who points out the inference which may
be drawn from the remark. We here
take occasion to disclaim, both on our
own behalf and on that of the "Ama-
tours" any intention of leaving an i'm
preston that the lady mentioned has
sought, expected or needs any benefit"
than such a one rs comes in the natural
and legitimate line of her business.

YE FISHERMEN, - Our junior is an
enthusiastic disciple Of 1zaak Walton,
and possesses withal, an epicurean fond
ness for mountain trout. Thus it followed
that when our devil boastcd Of his know
ledge of crystal brooks where the MUIR
muring water leaped and dashed in the
glad sunshine, he found ready listener.
1t did not take long to ''enthuse" a hungry
looking timer who also has penchant
for fried trout, and the pair decided to go
fishing and take the devil along for a
guide. The party disdained the use of
such primitive implements as hooks and
lines, but took along a pick, shovel and
pan. The modus operandt intended was
to dam the water from certain holes
where trout we're wont to congregate,
bail them out, when the fnny tribe would
be left at the mercy Of their pursuers.
Sunday afternoon was powerful warm,
but the ardor Of the fishermen was at 1e-
yer heat as they started forth. They
went and commenced operations. They
dug channels long and deep to drain the
aforesaid holes, and they damned the
stream to facilitate their enterprise. They
are ding yet, but it is the 'devil'
and not the stream. The result of the
expedition can be summed up thusly :
Profits four small trout and two pairs Of
blistered hands. Losses watch key
and gold stud.

CANON CREEK We were at Canon
Creek on the occasion Of Gilzean's party
on the 10Th inst, for the first time in sew
eral years. Canon Creek is one of the
'heavy" mining camps Of this county,
the claims now being worked are gener-
ally deep banks of heavy gravel and rcd
loan. Red Flat seems to be the present
center of mining there, and from what
we could learn, the outlook for mining
next Winter seems very favorable. Mr..
Depinett, who has kept the trading post
on the creek for some years past, has been
engaged in fitting up an old claim for
about year, and the indications are that
it will pay well. Dcpinett has disposed
of his establishment to NJ. Lang, of this
place and will devote his time to working
the claim. Mr.. Personnctte will clerk
for Lang, when he takes possession. The
ball ut Gilzean's was well attended and
dancing kept up with great spirit until
daylight. The road from Canon City to
Junction City is kept in excellent order,
and is n monument to the enterprise and
energy of the people of Canon City, by
whom it was built.

Doctors disagree. Each school of medicine has it's own theories, and as these theories differ wide ly it is clear that few if any of them be right But if medical men cannot agree upon any theory system of practice, the public find no difficulty in agreeing as to notorious matters of fact. For instance, they have observed for many years that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters uniformly cure dys- pepsia, constipation, rheumatism, biliousness, nervous debility, and many other diseases which the prescriptions of the pharmacop9ia do not and cannot cure and they know therefore that there can be no mistake about it. On this point they are firm and positive. They take their stand on in controverible facts. and they state to another yer bally, and sometimes by letter, what they know about relieving and preventing sickness with the standard vegetable tonic and alterative of Amer ica.

 Here then, the invalid has a guarantee of value that be relied upon, viz: the sober udgment of the public. After twenty years of observation and reflection, the American people pronounce Hostel ter's Bitters the best nvigorating and regulating medicine at their command, and give evidence of the faith that is in them by purchasing more of 1t than of any other advertised medicine manufac- tured this continent. large pum Der of phy si- points in therapeutics, admit tho extraordinary merits of the Bitters tonic and alterative, and recommend it 8 a preventive of malarious dis cases and e remedy in intermittent or remittsnt feyers

In the matter of washing dishes many servants are Wofully deficient, and yet a sticky plate or cup is the abhorrence of all neat househeepers. To avoid un- necessary annoyance, we should teach our domesties to wash first, and dry i'm mediately, all glassware, then cups, saucers, and spoons; after that the greasy dishes, from which all scraps have been scraped then the knives and forks, taking care that the handles are not put in the hot water, as that loosens and blackens them, while they are readily cleansed by damp cloth. Silver forks, whether solid or plated, should never be tossed about with steel knives, as the latter are sure to infict unseemly scratches.

 The water for washing glass and deli cate china should never be very hot, and even granite or stone ware should not be immersed in water where you cannot easily bear your. hand, for though the dishes may not actually break, they soon become full of unsightly small dark checks. Avery little soap suffices, more than just the quantity necessary to remove grease is apt to leave disa- greeable roughness. For delicately painted French china, fair warm soft water without any soap is best. Two tin-pans, one for washing and the other for rinsing, rather deeper than milk pans, and painted on the outside to pre- vent rust, are often preferred to the wooden dish-tubs. Hanging from pegs over the sink should always be kept a hemmed dish-cloth (if unhemmed, it is sometimes apt to find it's way, unaided of course, to the fire or the barnyard, to save the trouble of washing it), a teacup towel, and one for saucepans, etc. One of the first, two of the sec ond, and four of the third named, will ordinarily be sufficient for weeks s use. All should be distinctly marked, that there may be no excuse for taking a teacup towel to wipe the spider. All milk utensils should be thoroughly scalded with boiling studs, then rinsed, wiped with a cloth wrung as dry as pos sible from hot water, and kept in an airy place. Singular as it may seem, a perfectly dry towel should never be en- ployed to wipe tins which have been used for holding milk. The reason I cannot tell, but of the fact am sure stickiness is left behind by the dry towel, which will soon become sour ness,

How MONEY GOEs,-In our country
every good workman can get ahead, If
he knows how to deny himself, and to
save. Much money is worse than vast
ed in poor families, An exchange
says: .--


4 ardvwording man-as for instance
bricklayer, mason, or blacksmith
drinks about eight glasses of beer daily,
at an expense of accents per day, or SO 80
per week.


Eight glasses of beer daily. at five
cents q glass, cost each week
SO so, and each year $146. We
suppose this is more than one-sixth of
the yearly earnings Of the average
''hard- working man." Tt is probably
tWo-t thirds as much as the "hardwork-
ing man" pays for rent, and twice as
much as he pays for clothes. 1t would
enable him to take q six weeks rest each
year, If he saved it, or pay his expenses
to New York and back three times, and
almost to Europe and back. It would
buy him good lot of ground not very
far removed from the city, or if put out
at interest would bring him as much
as he gets for two or three days labor
It would buy him three times as mucl
bread as he could eat, or would prob,
ably suffice to pay his meat bill.

ADVERTISING THE STATE.-The State
agent of the Louisiana immigration So
ciety announces that he is in almost
daily receipt of letters from abroad con-
tanning inquiries with reference to the
price, location, and products of saleable
lands in our market.


These inquiries are elected by thefre-
quent publications of newspaper ar
ticles setting forth the advantage which
the State affords to immigrants. 1t will
thus be seen that the press Is valuable
motive power, and If for time the
press should subordinate the discussion
of political topics to that of immigration
interests, the State would be advertised
and good results would follow. The
State to prosper must do as all successful
business men do, advertise freely and
often in the columns Of the press.
We suggested the other day that one
of the first steps, after the organization
| of parish branches of the immigration
Society, should be to place small farms
in the market, and to advertise these
lands particularly in the parish news

d 1t our citizens were asked in what con-
tsists the strength of our Republican in

that is is our superior educational facili-
ties: This is, only partially true. The
school is the secondary influence that
tends tosthe assimilating process that is
going on in this vast country to bring
the people into homogeneous mass.
The main influence at work is the simple
desire that the foreigner aspires, as soon
as he lands upon these shores, to own a
home, and in all our vocabulary there is
no word SO potent or powerful as the
word " home" It is thing which nei-
ther the Irish peasant nor the German
laborer have in their own country any
conception, but is here the goal Of their
hopes and desires. Education comes
next, and is a something the need Of
which is not felt until the adornments Of i

Never before in this country have the
farmers been so intently engaged in
thinking as now. Heretofore they have
allowed others to think for them, and
act for them, and make laws for them.
They are now thinking for themselves.
They find that thinking by proxy is not
quite the thing. They know that farm
ing by pro1y don't pay. They are in a
brown study. They find themselves in
debt. They labor as hard as ever, but
get less pay. They have always paid
taxes, but never SO heavily as now.
They see heavy foreign demand for
their products, but on account of extor-
tionate transportation rates, will reap
but little advantage therefrom. They
find they have no control over the
prices Of their own products, while all
other classes fix the price of their labors
or their products. They see they are at
the mercy Of rings, combinations and
clques. Those whom they have chosen
to represent them in the national affairs
have betrayed them, and become the
representatives Of the capitalists of the
country. While most of the other class
es have been doing we'll, they have been
falling behind. Is it any wonder that
farmers are thinking something is
wrong? Is it any wonder they are as
sociating together and discussing the
causes Of their grievances Is it any
wonder that they are turning out by
the thousand, and attending farmers
meetings wherever they are announced ?
They mean business. They intend to
take hand themselves in their own
affairs. They are trying to find out
what is wrong, and when they do ascer-
tain what it is, nothing can prevent
them from removing it. Farmers are
naturally conservative. They move slow
but with a terrible earnestness. When
the farm wagons get started there is
trouble ahead.


We are glad the farmers are thinking.
Brains are the controlling element every
where. The brains Of the farmer are
now at work carefully considering the
situation. They are getting ready to
take their part in the struggles of the
sfnture.-Rural World. .

THAT LOST Cow.-We read of a

He is absent-minded. A few nights
since he went out to drive his cow.
Arriving at the pasture. ground, he
found that the COW was gone, but the
bell which should have been around
her neck was lying on the ground. He
placed it in his pocket and forgot all
about it. Every now and then it would
give smothered jingle, and he would
think it was his COW, and would start
off in fresh direction. He followed
the bell, as he thought, until twelve
O'Clock that night, and walked twenty
miles. When he reached home. the
cow had been there five or six hours,
and his wife went over to the CITY to
advertise for him in the "Lost and

haps he wasn't mad when he found

Under the above head many Of tie


newspapers and public men Of this


country and Europe are discussing


the probabilities Of a relapse of our


republic into a sort Of d military
autocracy; and many express the
opinion Of those in Europe with great
satisfaction that our republic is
failure, and is on the eve Of disso-
luton.


In proof they point to the facts
that the rights Of the states are now
almost entirely lost sight of in our
national legislation, and that there
is rapidly growing tendency in
every department of our government
to Capitalization; that the people, in
their eagerness to reward our sue
cessful generals, have given the ad-
ministration Of our government into
the hands of inexperienced and in
competent men-into the hands OF
men whose education and habits
tend to make them favor the central
ization of power, and which induce
degree of contempt for the rights and
just demands of the individual.


In view Of the facts cited it is we'll
worth while for Americans to inquire
whether we are unconsciously drift
ing from the landmarks which our
liberty-living forefathers established.
If SO, is it better for us that we are?
In fine, does the happiness and we'll
being of the people depend upon
maintaining the federal government,
which we believe contemplated as
fully as any government could that
the individual should have the,
largest degree of liberty consistent
with public order?


The question to be answered
shall we give up that form Of govern
ment for another, which may have
some advantage in point of strength,


we think should be answered in the
negative. We must get back to first
principles--to the points from which
we have drifted during and since the
close Of the last war, 1t is a long
road to travel, and unless we soon
commence to retrace our steps we
may never get back. The present
political uprising of the people all
over the country, regardless Of party
considerations, and the coming to-
gether and the working together of
those who have been SO long separa-
ted by strongly drawn party lines,
indicate that the people are begin
ming to appreciate the dangers
which threaten the republic. 1t is
pleasant to contemplate that some-
time we will have the return of the
good old days, when statesmen shall
fill our halls Of Congress, and when
presidents shall be selected who have
studied the history Of governments,
and the rise and fall Of republics to
some purpose; who will feel that this
government is instituted for the bene-
fit Of the governed of the toiling
masses, rather than the few whom
fortune favors, and who will seek to
administer its affairs in such a way
as the greatest good will be dono to
the greatest number.
