OUB CIVILIZATION.
Americaus who go abroad are often
brought to the blush by the evidences of
American barbarism which confront
newspaper readers almost daily. We
who remain at borne or who reside in
law-abiding communities are apt to think
too little of events, 'occurring in distant
sections of tbe Union, which iu foreign
conutries bring disgrace upon our entire
people, and are laid ith a certain degree
of justice at the Nation's door, without
any nice distinctions as to localities and
conditions.
It is scarcely too much to say, that in
some parts of tbe United States the crimi
nal courts have entirely resigtied the!
more important functions to irrtaponsibl
mobs, who deal out life aud death, gen
ertlly tbe latter, to supposed criminals
without any regard to law aud upon tbe
flimsiest evidence imaginable. It is sel
dom pretended that the machinery ot
lawful justice is inadequate; aud it Urate
that these mob executions are done upon
tbe spur of the moment and in heat of
blood, In almost every instance prison
ers are taken by force from their legal
.custodians and deliberately put to death
with evidence of tbe ooolest method aud
premeditation. Indeed there Is reason
to fear these revolting barbarities are iu
fiotne sections regarded almost in tbe
light of amusemeuU, the craving for
which grows with its gratification, and
rather welcomes hideous crime as au ex.
,cne for its indulgence.

SUMMER TRAVEL, THE SLACK SEASON AND

Nobody can tell bow many people leave
New York to live in tbe country during
tbe heated term; but tbe number is cer
tainly a very large one. Yet a look at
t le streets, the stores and the shops of tbe
great city conviuces you that the popula
tion has not been at nil diminished, al
thongb the crowd of tbe in-comiug and
out-going steamboats aud railroad trains
every morning and evening bears witness
to tbe fact that tbe regular increase of
temporary residents is very great. The
Superintended of tbe Elevated Railroad
says that travel on these roads falls off so
much dnring tbe summer months tbat
he is obliged to discharge 500 train bands
who are employed during tbe winter.
The slack time is between tbe beginning
of June to tbe middle ot September; but,
unless appearances are deceiving, that
period will close two weeks earlier. Large
numbers of people who bavo been at the
seaside aud in the mountains for several
months are now hurrying back to tbe
city, ai d tbe prospect is, that before
many days, the hotels will be crowded

Special Correspondence.
Denver, Col., Aug. 20, 1682.
It is scarcely necessary to write much
concerning the city of Denver itself, ns
people all over the East have heard so
much of it during the last few years that
nearly every reader knows nearly all there
is to be said bbont it It is the Chicago
of tbe far West; a modern city iu all re-
spects, with fine buildings, publio and
private, beautiful, regulur streets, im'
mense business establishments, magnifi.
cent hotels, and all the appliances and
improvements ot a modern metropolis.
It is credited by the last census witb con
siderably less thau 60,000 inhabitants
I don't remember the exact number but
I should say tbat fully tbat population
sojouru within its limits. There is not
a more thriving, busy, bristling, enter
prisiug, growing city in America, or any
where else, than tbis same Denver, end
probably there is not another city of its
size doing aDy where near tbe amount of
business that is done here. Walking
down any of tbebusiness streets oue may
see establishments that would do credit
to tbe largest cities of the Union, and
am sure that tbe beautiful city of Wash.
iugton, with its 150,000 inhabitants.must
take a place to tbe rear of Denver in tbis
respect. As an evidenc of tbe growth of
the city, bb well as of tbe increase of trav
el this way, bike tbe changes iu tbe hotel
accommodations. The old American and
the Grand Central, wbicb four years ago
seemed to be all that was rtqnired, have
been overshadowed by the St. J.imes and
the Windsor, the largest and grandest ot
bostelries. Tbe former is conducted by
David A. Gage, formerly of tbe Grand
Pacific, Chicago, and also tbe well re
membered Treasurer of tbat city. Tbe
newspapers ol Denver are also sn index
of its greatness. Outside of thres or four
large cities there are no better dailieB in
the country than the Denver Republican
and tbe Rocky Mountain News, or even
the Evening Times. Here, again, the
National Capital Is left iu the rear.
One ot the things that have helped to
make Denver great is tbe location aud
investments here ot so many bonanza
kings so many of tho million lira miners
ot Colorado, whs have come here to live
and invest their wealth iu improvements.
publio aud private. If you ask a Denver
man who these men are he will meution
Lieutenant Governor Tabor as first and
foremost. This is partly because he bus
been about tbe l'ickiest man in the State,
and because be has done a great deal for
Denver, for witness of wbicb see tbe
Windsor Hotel, of wbicb bis son is man

ornamented by a heavy moustache, which
is slightly tinged with gray. His arms
and legs seem made of wood and bis
joints of iron, Iu conversation witb the
luckiest of men one soon forgets bis pe
culiarities of manners and appearance.
There is so much straightforwardness
and strong common sense in what be says
tbat no one who knows him wonders tbat
he has become one of the great masters
of tbe great art of money making.
Tabor's history is one of the romances
of mining. Twenty.two years ago, when
tbe "Pike's Peak or bust" fever was at its
height, Tabor and bis wife left tbeir borne
in Maiue to seek a fortune in the wild
West. Tbey didn't find it. For eighteen
weary years they went up and down the
foot-bills and mountaius of Colorado pur
log tbe phantom gold, and growing old
and discouraged iu tbeir tiresome and
bootless search. He was sober and she
thrifty, but Bomebow tbey did not get on
ir. tbe world. While keeping a little
store at Oro City, a small camp about two
miles from where Leadville now flourish
es, aud where tbe first discoveries of
quartz were made, in Leadville, Tabor
"grub-staked" two prospectors to search
for ore, on tbe condition that he should
have half of all tbey should discover.
The first ore tbey founl ran only eight
ounces to the tou, but as they went down
o tbo "Little Pittsburg" tbe quality
steadily improved. About tbis time
Leadville had outgrown Oro City, and
Tabor moved his store to the larger place.
He came to Denver and bought a bill of
goods amouutiug to $2,500, and not bay
ing money enough to sttle,be offered bis
share in the mine to tbe Denver firm,but
tbey preferred to take tbeir chances on
getting their money back when he had
disposed of his wares. Later he bought
$3,700 worth of goods from another firm,
and actually auoceeded In Inducing them
to take his half of the Little Pittsburg In
payment. When he reached home, how
ever,' he received a letter from tbe firm
asking bim to take back his mine, as they
bad no desire to go into tbat kind of
business, and assuring him they would
trust him for the bill. Well tbey might.
for within three months be had bought
obt both his partners for about $150,000,
paying them out of the proceeds of tbe

Moffat & Co.. for $1,000,000. His wealth
is now variously estimated between $5,
000,000 and $10,000,000. Mrs. Tabor
delights in diamonds and fine clothes.
and is now endeavoring to obtain a legal
separation through the courts without
divorce. He has offered her the new
