A Blsrouingliig View or Lendvllle. A Ixmlsvlllr (Ky.) druggist, now in Lead villi', 001., the great mining camp, writes home ns follows: 1 have now been here two days, and have looked the town over pretty thoroughly. You may say to I)r. that there are thirty-lire doetors here, and that, in my opinion, this is no place for him. It is the most disntrris'alde hole I ever was in—the mud is ankle deep nil over the town. A thou sand men are constantly marching alsuit with apparently no olyoct in view. The streets present "n very animated npjienr anee, hut the stores don't seein to In'sell ing as much as a casual observer would imagine. I am now writing in a drug store, and have le>n for half an hour, during wldeh time they have taken in seventy-live cents. There are seven drug stores in town, one of which was sold last week for f 10.000, including the house and lot. All of them See®i to have very complete stocks and are ready for busi ness. They expect a hundred thousand visitors this summer. Houses are (wing built in every direction, and prices for rent are fabulous. Three hundred dollars per foot is asked for lots on the principal streets: corner lots, 410,000. It is sim ply ridiculous; they all seem to think the town will last until next fall. The town is unhealthy. I am well, hut know several who are sick. The light air affects my health considerably. Sawmills are just coining money. Mr. MiK>rc told me to-day tliat his mill produced twelve thousand feet daily, which lie sold at fifty dollars per thousand feet—on which he makes one-half clear profit, ami the people almost fought to get it at that. One-storv shells, sixteen lect square, are rented at forty dollars per month. The town is full of gambling hells, openly carried on—keno, faro anil the like. Saloons do a thriving business. Hotels are full and making lotsof money, charg ing large prices for very poor nccoiumo dations. I would not advise any one to Coino hero except with a view to mining. A Lend ville paper gives the following schedule of the cost of necessaries and luxuriia of life in that "city:" By build ing a log cabin at a cost of. perhaps, fifty dollars, a party of two or more ran live by "hatching" for alxuit four dollars per week: it is not safe to count on less. The bote's charge from two to four dol lars per day. Baths cost fifty cents, a cigar twenty-five cents, a glass of beer fifteen cents. Little milk can Is- had, condensed milk being generally useiL Butter costs from forty to fifty rents per pound; eggs, forty to fifty cents per dozen: beans, seven to ten cents; lard, twelve to lourtcen cents; bacon, twelve and one-half to fifteen cents; hams, fif teen cents; beef, eight to fifteen cents; pork, fifteen to twenty rents; venison, twelve and one-half to thirteen cents; cabbage, five to eight cents per pound; potatoes, four to five cents per pound; flour, $1 to $1.75 per 100: corn meal, $3.50 per 100: tea, seventy-five cents to $ 1 .25 per pound: coffee, thirty to fifty cents per pound : sugar, six and one-half to eight pounds for one dollar. Con densed milk is thirty-six cents per can. All the beef, flour, potatoes, vegetables and otlier edibles consumed here are shipped in wagons from Webster, Colo rado Springs or Canon City, and most of these articles an l purchased in Denver, Chicago and Kansas City.

TIIK GREAT MIMING CAMP. The Vnprccrdrntrit Until for Ix-mlvlllr, d'ol— I'in-lou* MrUh In Abundance ■ Nlr*ngr Hrrnri of JVliirm* IJfr A year ago Lcadvillc, Col., wax a de serted milling camp. To-day it contains several churches and three theaters, and is the most bustling, exciting spot in America. Although distant twenty miles from any railroad, hundreds are pouring into the place daily, ami the sur rounding country is filled witli eager searchers for the precious metals which are found everywhere In abundance. Writing from Is'iidvilie. a correspondent of the Louisville ('mirier-Journal says: " I tliink lam fully justified in saying that new 'strikes' are Wing made daily. Prospect holes on the mountain sides for miles around are as thick as chccries upon a tree in full fruit. Dally there comes to town some happy iiimvidual whose pick lias struck into the precious stuff. The streets are full of men who arc ready to buy claims and prospects, yet there Is so great risk in buying that all are cautious and wary. Hourly, aye, constantly, the ripiilc of talk goes from center to circumference and bark again—talk of mines, claims, prospects, strikes, prices paid and received. Every one nearly is interested, or seeking to become so, in claims. Tlie demure looking individual that look* at you over his gold spectacles, .seeming calm and unconcerned, is anxiously waiting news from his claim tip Bfg Evans, Little Evans or Stray Horse gulch. The clerk who is yonder measuring a r<xl of ribbon is in his thoughts measuring tlx distance from the surface to the defswit on his claim. That man reeling in drunkenness along the streets has just eonie in from his claim. So it goes. Everybody is interested, and hence everylsxiy is excite*! over the news to lx gathered. Nor is the mining excite ment confined to this district. C'ar bonntevilie or Ten-mile. Kokomo, Granite, Eagle Itiver. the Gunneson and many other places within a radius of forty miles of I/wlville come in for their share of the excitement. Rcjxirts are constantly coming in of rich strikes at each of the places. But Ix-odville is the center. From this place go tlie pros i><s-tors; to tiiis place come those who have prospered. Plain makes I>-a<lville tin- wonder, and puts it far ahead of any camp known in the past or present, ft is impossible to give a correct or definite idra of the camp. It must he seen to Ix known. Though thousands of letters go from here daily, Isith to the press and individuals, and each writer strives to tell those Ixdiind win* it is and what it is like, yet every newcomiT is sur prised, and in no instance that has come under my observation has the camp failed to far exceed exixs-trttion*. "Take out tlie ringing of the church bells and the small percentage of the population which attend ehureli, and there is no Sabbath in I .end ville. The saw-mills turn out just as much lumber, tlie blacksmith tiro* are just as hot. as much and more money is won and lost at gaming. n.s many goods an- sold on the Sohluith axon a week day. In truth, in pa-sing through tin: town on the Sal>- hath, if the stp-ct loading l>y the churches is not taken no imagination could tor ture it into a Sabbath day. Then- is the same whirr and buzz as on other days; or, if there tx- a difference, it Is on the in erease. for Sunday is the day that many miners rami' in from the mountains to do tlnir trading. Injustice to the car praters, I should mention that I have noticed that not a groat many of them tlius desecrate the Ixird's day; iiiit it d"xx* really l<xik as if marly all who have come here have negWt*l t< bring tlie fourtb commandment with them. " The universal inquiry is, will this rush continue, and, if so. how long? Slirowd men hold their bus iness well in band, so tiiat if the crash should come their lamp* will !■ burning. One thing is beyond doubt, and that i that fin* mountains are full of rarlxmntes. and I now do not doubt that the richest discoveries are yet to Is made, and that tin- half ha* not yet been dreamed of. In addition to the silver discoveries, gold has heen found in its very richness up to the California gulch (the memorable gulch of the I*oo excite ment). Capitalists have taken hold of it. and tlie indications now arc that dur ing the coming summer many gold leads will lx- found. As long n* these discoveries are made Icmfviile will thrive; beyond this I will not attempt to prophesy, for the longer I stay lien- the more bewildered and puzzled am I. The enterprise hero Is astonishing. New lious*-* are going up. as with a magician's wand, in all parts of the camp. A street that was familiar yesterday presents a wholly different appearance to-day. and yet there is a cry for more houses, more room, etc., etc. I succeeded in getting an office on ck'-stnut stn-et, nfter wail ing and watching two weeks. It was ront*i liefbro the house was built, but the party faihsl to take it, and 1 hap pened to apply at the ' nick of time." much to the discomfiture of two or three applicants, who ramc a hour Inter than I. My nxm is 10x12. and lam consid ered extremely fortunate in having to pay only forty dollars per month for it. I am stfil in receipt of letters asking nd vlee about coming hero. I can onlv say what 1 hnve nld before. There is an abundance of mineral, and strikes are constantly being made. One coming here may ixx-omc rich in a week, and lie may fail. It depend* upon his fortune in striking mineral. There is absolutely no room for clerks. ixxikkcepep*, etc. Men of energy and will, who are willing to work in the earth, can find work to do in hunting for mineral, though it is proper to say that the stoutest men liaTe to become inured to the climate before they can do much labor. On account of therarifled air. a walk of one hundred yards exhausts the breath,- so a ' trader foot'(a name for new-comers) is illy prepared for lalxir until he is nooli mated. " Mortality is not so great here as I ex pected to find. A visit to one of the *a loonsal midnight would justify a con clusion of a fearful mm tality.

A Governor'* Arrest as a Horse Thief, It is related that while Tlioina* Mann Randolph was Governor of Virginia, lie was once arrested within a few hundred yards of his home, in this county, and carried a prisoner to hi* own house. Tlie story is to the following effect: The governor was on a visit to his own home, and finding that the fencing on his plantation was pulled down and burned by wagoners passing along from the Valley to Richmond, lie determined to detect and punish them. One evening he observed a party go into camp on the roadside, nnd after dark he strolled down to n jioint where he could conveniently watch them. He staid out all night, hut the wagoners made no deprivations on his fences.

Thus it came to pass that a deer 'in liquor' was dis covered by a feasant, also 'in liquor,' lying 'dead drunk' in a ditch on the road to the village of Queue-en-Brie. The peasant, delighted at the godsend, tied the deer's fegs together with a bamlkcrch'ef. and, having hoi-ted the animal on Ills shoulders, prepared to carry him off. The dw-r. rntiMil from lii- drunken sleep tiy this treatment, )*•- came so troublesome that the peasant, who was of an inventive turn, took off his blouse, pa—.'<l it over the deer's bend and improvised hv means of it a sort of strait-jackct, which paralyzed the lwast's movements.
