For the 11Forrasa LETTER FROM COLORADO. - GiIEILET, COL, January, 1873. Enrron : I think that if you could be moved instantly frum your home among the hills of Bradford, and placed somewhere upon the plain of Colorado, you ti,wonld think you had got into a dttVrent zone; as well. The mercury in the tberrnOtneter, at my open door, as I write, at 4 o'clock P m., indicates 70 degs. above zero. It has ranged from 65 to 90 degs. above zero, at noon, every day for ten or twelve days past. We have had about two inches of sntivr i thus far this winter, and not-a drop of rain since August, I believe ; although I have almost forgotten when it did rain last. This winter has been a delightful contrast to last, when we had good sleighing for a hundred days in succession, and the mercury frozen up down in the bot tom of the therniomater. I think Colorado cah beat the world on sudden changes, of temper sture. One night about six weeks ago, the mercury at seven o'clock P. u., indicated 4 degs, above zero, and settling rapidly, when the wind veer ed around to the west, and the mer cury ro e 40 degs. in less than an hour. Our warmest winter wind comes from the west, directly off the fields - of eternal - snow, away up on the Snowy Range. Work on the grade of the Colerado Central Railroad, has not' been in- terrupted, and the huudreds of miles of snow fences and snow sheds, built during the past summer, along the Union Pacific Railroad, have not been: needed,' although they may be be;ore spring opens. It seems to us out hero that a lit tle Congrest.ional legislation in re gard to -fares and freights on the Pa cific railroads, would be a good thing. Perhaps if the troops of Congress men who ride over our roads during the summer, were compelled to pay the same fares that we ordinary mor tals have to, they would realize what an imposition it is upon the traveling public. The fare from Greeley to Omaha, 570 miles, is forty-three dollars; from Cheyenne to Denver, 106 miles, ten dollars. I came' West in a palace car: I shall be rejoiced if I ever get. money enough to go back on an emi grant train. It seems to me that if the railroad companies would reduce their fares about one-half, they would - get enough more passengers to far more than cover the difference. I had a small box come from Owego as freight, and only weighing thirty .five lbs., mid the charges amounted to five dollars! However, we hope for better times, when IVO get our Julesburg road running. The State movement creates but very little excitement outside of po litical circles. I doubt if a majority of the people in the Territory are iu favor of a State government. Our taxes are high enough now. It is very pleasant to read in our papers about low taxes. It is true we had no Territorial tax in 1872, but our other taus were high enough to hal ance•that, as any Colorado tax-payer can testify, The. story about Colora do having 100,000 inhabitants is all " bosh." The censtis of-1870-gave us a trifle over 37,000 inhabitants, and we may have 70,000 now, but I do not believe-it. Colorado is peopled by as go, ahead, enterprising people as e.in be found anywhere, and she is going to make a noble State ohe of these days, but there is not a bit of hurry. Otir town and community are thriving finely this winter. We have one of the best grist-mills in the .ierritory, daily turning out hundreds of pounds of far better flour than can be made from Eastern wheat. Two raw-mills, running night and day, make music where, less than three years ago, there Was nothing to be heard but the howl of the prai rie wolf. The logs sawed at these mills wore run down froin the moan tons last summer, on the eachera la- Poudre river. Our main irrigating ditch, 27 miles long, was enlarged last spring to a uniform width of W- I teen feet on the bottom, with banks four feet high. It is now being .ez ttndPd four miles eastward, making a ditch 31 miles long. The ditch which waters the town is also being enlarged and extended. Our colony lauds are surrounded by'\it fence, built by a common fund. The . fence is about sixty tulles in length; and encloses about. 40,000 acres of tillable land. Our crops were bountiful' the past year, and our prospects for the future are bright. )Looker, founder of thoiolo• naLIIDIAIS as azumazaiscal PDX4I3I ny, and at present its efficient Presi dent, started to-day for England, sent thither by Abe N. 7.‘l'ribune. to writs up the agricultural interests and resources of the mother country: Mr. Meeker was formerly egricultu ral editor of the Triune, Was a per sonal friand of Mr. Greeley, and one - of his most devoted followers and supporter", politically.

THE FEAR OF DEATH. The dread ,of death is universal and instinctive; and yet how many rush into its arms ! Suicide is a mostrimpressive fact in this connec tion. The disappointed lovei, the discouraged adventurer, the suspect ed clerk, the child wounded in its self-love or fearful of punishment, faces the great enemy and invites his blow: Every now and tbeh the com munity is shocked by suicides so un provoked and so frequent as almost to persuade us that the natural fear of death is passing away. The incon sis'ency is easily expla ned. Lord Bacon elys there is no passion that will not overmaster the terror of death. For passion is thoughtless ; ocenpied wholly with an immediate suffering, it makes no estimate of any other kind of pain; absorbed in en instantaneens sorrow, it takes no other sorrow into adcount. The mind entertains but one passion at. a time, whether it be joy. fear. But men are not always or generally under the influence of passion. Ordinary life is cairn, calculating, considerate, and it is to ordinary life that death is so-terrible. It is the. thought of death that is terrible, not death. Death is gentle, peaceful, painless ; instead of bringing suffering, it brings an end of suffering. It is misery's cure. Where death is, ago ny is not. rlhe processes of death are all friendly. The near aspect of d ath is gracious. There is a picture somewhere of_ a fearful face, livid and ghastly, which the beholder gazes on with horror, and would turn away from, but.fot a hideous fascination that not only rivets his. attention, but draWs him closer to it. On ap proaching the picture, the hideous ness' disappears, and when directly confronted it is not any more seen ; the face is the face of an angel. It, is a pictur - a of death, and the object of the artist was to impress the idea that the terror of death is in appre , bension. Theodore Parker, whose übservatien of death was very large, has said he never - saw a person of any belief, condition or experience, unwilling to die when the time came; and my own more limited observa; tion confirms the truth of the re mark.. Death is an ordinance of na ture, and like every ordinance pf na ture is directed by beneficent laws to beneficent ends. What must. be, is made welcome. Necessity is beauti ful. STRENGTH AND HEALTH. It is ignite a common idea That health keeps pace with strength. There are people who really think that you may determine the compar ative health of a company of men by easuring theirarms—that he whose arm measures twelve inches is twice as healthy,as one who measures but six. This strange and thoughtless misapprehension has given rise to nearly all the mistakes .hue f made in the ph3sical cultire movement. I hAe a friend who can lift nine bun Bred pounds, and yet is an habitual sufferer from torpid liver rheuma tism and low spirits. On the contra ry, I have many 'friends who would stagger under three hundred pounds, - that, are in capital trim. Bat I need ;Jot elaborate a matter So familiar to physicians and other observing peo ple. 'No test . of -health • would prove more faulty than a tape lino or a lift at the scale beam. Supplse two brothers—bank clerks, in bad health. They are measured around the arm. Each mark exactly ten inches. They try the scale l beam. The ar rises exactly at three hundred pounds with each. Both seek health. John. goes to the gymnasinin, lilts heavy dumb bells, and heavy kegs of nails until he can put up one hundred and twenty five pounds and,lift nine bun- Aired, and his arm reaches , fifteen inches Thomas goes to the moun tains, fishes, hunts, spends delight ful hours with the young ladies and plays cricket., Upon measuring his arm we find it scarcely larger than when lie left town, while he can't put up sixty pounds nor lift five hun dred. But who doubts Thomas will return td the bank counter the bet ter man of the two ? John should be the better man, if strength,is the principld or most essential condition of health. Ir I were a poet I would describe Satan with manners polished: to the last perfection; hair flowing in grace ful ringlets ; eye a little bloodshot, but gloating in bewitching languor hand soft and diamonded; step - light and elastic ; voice mellow as a flate ; boot elegantly shaped ; conversation facile, carefully tuned and French ; breath perfumied until it really would seem that. not biug hail ever touched his lip* save balm and myrrh.-701- madge. A SOIIsTiO young lad; *wad ilk BEST AFTER Lisoi. In making an effort to acquire brain power, our first struggle is to gain control of the will—the chief engineer under whose dirliction our mental and bodily habitnwill bo es tablished. The will is commander in-chief in the battle of life. It should have absolute power to insure the presence of every division; bri gade, regiment'and company - at the post of danger, prepared by disci pline to stand and-wait, though tin der fire, to march, or storm the ene my's forts. Whosoever -can not, by order of his will, compel his inanities to come into line and face the idver sary, may as well hoist the white flag, or surrender at once. But even when full command of the will is gained, the battle is not fought. It is by bard study, persisted in so long as the full strength of thonght can` be maintained that we accumulate brain power or capacity, but the more intense the current, the .short; sr time it should be allowed to flow. The ordinary processes of thinking are not attended with fatigue. Those exercises of the brain which may be, called "intellectual gymnastics, ' if not too long continued, are useful in developing strength and endurance. When the `power denved front the natural forces of the body has been consumed by'long continued brain work, it is the practice of some per sons to increase their flagging ener gies by artificial stimulants! The mind seems fresh, *Eiger and ener getic, the body feels weary, and thus the student imagines that while his spirit is willing it; is only his flesh that is weak. But this is not so ; of all the laws of our organization,none is more inexorable than that which demands rest after work. • Day and night aro emblematic of a law of nat ure which is applicable to the vital forces. Muscular avion, so far as it hae been observed, obeys that law. Continuous strain of muscular fibre in one direction leads to its destruc tion, continuous stretch of the mind to insanity. Even if we never apply our faculties. tnexcess, we must have repose after labor ; lit those who are inclined to disregard this law look to themselves. or they may have to pay dearly for their temerity in the future, when the powers which they now aouss forsake them all to . get her. POOR PEOPLE. There are, various kinds of pover ty. People 'perishing with' famine are poor. People- that cannot' pro cure fuel in the winter, nor sufficient clothing for warmth and comfort, are poor. People that are compelled by their circumstances to live in squalid apartments, in ill.ventlated alleys, are poor. 'People that are In firm iu health, and need a warmer climate and have _'no means to go away with, are poor. These are p )or in their own view, and in the view Of all mankind. People may be said to be absolutely poor, too,whose intellectual natures. have begun their development, and yet who csunot procure books, or access to libraries, or eutranceinto schools and colleges.: But, after 'all, it is " style " that makes many peOple poor ; the show in which other people live. The house that was well enough furnish ed before, becomes mean when the next neighbor furnishes .her rooms with more expense and elegance. Bricks or wood were good . enough, till another's brown-stone front went up. And the sidewalk and ~the horse-cars would answer very well, till 'a neighbor's horses pranced along the street, with glitering harness and glancing wheels,,and a black coach man with silver buttons drove up to the door. And the same is true in circumstances of much humbler de gree. Content is known to live in the eottago; but takes its leave after it has once visited the " mansion." " Style " is the world in many peo ple's thoughts. Is not this arrant folly, good people? Is our own house the less comfortable because that of our neighbor is larger ? Are our own blessings 'the less apprecia ble because his apparently outnum ber them ? Out •upon such Lily I The strong-minded and the wise nev er find themselves poor, however small'their means and however eul tiveted their tastes may be. The world of God's creation is So much larger, so much fuller, so much more to them, than any work which man can create, that they never have a want beyond their 'means. Cannot you be - as wise as they ? WELLINGTON & STRATEGY. On a certain occasion, during, Wel lington's campaign on the Pyrenees, that " Great Captain " beiug disc pleased with the dispositions Gen. Picton . had made for receivibg the assault of Marshall Soult, who men aced him in front, ordered the plan to be entirely changed. Bat the diffi culty was to delay die attack of the French until the change could be of fected. This the " Iron 'Duke " ac complished in , person, in the follow inmnanner : Doffing his cocked hat and, waving it in the air, he rode furiously to the bead of a regiment, as if about to or der a eharge. Thereupon arose a tremendous cheat. from . the men', which was taken up by corps -after corps until it reverberated along the whole extent of IPicton's line As the roar died away, Wellington was heard to remark musingly, as if ad dressing himself, " Soult is a skillful but, ca utious commander, and will not attack in force until be has. as certained the ' - meaning of these cheers. This will give time for the Sixth Division to come -up, and we shall beat him." It turned out as he I - anticipated. S.nit, naturally enough, supposed thoEm trignendona shouts announced the 'arrival of large rein forcements and did not attack until too late. Had he !hack at the right moment, he would have won an easy victory ; as it was, he met with a bloody Tet:dee. . This was strategy: Not the .strate gy of books, but the strategy of genius, engendered and executed in the same moment.- There is no such thing laid down in Jomini. The idea was born of the occasion, and carried • ant on the intent. _, ABOUT OALIOOES. Except when used for under-cloth- i ing or linings cotton cloth is gener ally ornamented __with colors. ,The art of • dyeingi ania T-tinting cotton and linen fabrics was - known to #Oll3O of the Eastern nations from a eery : early.date. The Egyptians practiced dyeing in blue, purple and scarlet at least 2.500 years before the Christian era. The art' of Calico-printlng was introduced into this country, from India, - and 'was began in 167& To wards the clotte, of the seventeenth century, a demand sprang up in England for the ' cheap and gaudy prints of India, Persia and' China; and the result was that the silk and woolen manufaCtiares began to suffer. In response to the outery, Parlia ment first prohibited the impor,tation and use of Eastern prints,, but as the home calico trade went on extend ing, imposed a duty, afterwards dou bled,-on the productions; interdicted the using 9r wearing of printed or dyed calicoes, ',whether printed at home or abroad, and even.. of .any printed goods of which cotton forms a part. But this portion of The act was repealed in sixteen years. and thenceforth cloth compoSed of linen warp and cotton weft was made and printed. The cloth-printing trade continued to be confined almost ex clusively to the neighborhood of Lon don. In 1774 the law which prohib ited the printing of English-made calicoes was repealed, and by the ' aid of a series of wonderful inveu- tines and improvements the art of calico printing 11m:trifled and, in creased. There are five general - styles in calico.printing, namely : 1. The fast color or chintz style, in which' the mordants are. applied to the white cloth, and the colors of the design are afterwards developed in the dye bath. 2. Where the whole surface receivefa uniform tint from one col oring matter,' and, figures of other colors are afterwaid brought up by chemical chive:es and reactions. 3. Where the white surface is impress ed with figures in l a resist paste, and is afterwards subjected to a general dye. 4. Steam colors; in which a mixture of the mordants, and dye ex tracts is applied •to the cloth, and the chemical combination ie effected by agency of steam. 5. Spirit colors, cousisting of ;mixtures of dye ex-, tracts with nitro-mutriate of , tin. The 1 latter are brilliant bat fugitive. The art of the dyer and the calico printer is based on the proper under- - standing and rise of mordants. The term " mordant " is applied to cer tain substances with which the cloth to:be dyed must be impregnated; otherwise the coloring matters would not adhere to the cloth, but would be removed by weseeeet. Thus the I t red color given the cotton , y mad derwouid not be fixed un ess the cloth were previously steep d in a solution of salt -of aluinin . The cloth has the_property of de ou3pos hig the salt and of combipOg with and retaining a portion of aluinina. The red coloring principle of I the madde- has an affinity for-the alumie na and combines with it. The con sequence is that the coloring , matter ie_absorbed by the alumina, the dye becomes " fa3t," that is, cannot be removed by water, even when soap is added, though water is sufficient to remove the red coloring matter from the cloth if the alum mordant has not been previously applied. Blocks in printing have - been' au , perceded, by the cylindet machine, except in dress pieces for the Eastern market, commonly from one and a half to eight yards in length, and which from their shortness and other. technical causes, it would be Anprofi; table to print by the latter mode. In ; the block-printed goods, chiefly made for the Indian market, the colcirs are -somewhat "loud" and the. designee, peculiar. The dress ,pieces made for people of the Hindoo religion have a broad border of peacocks round the skirt, the upper part wearing a spot ted or diaper pattern. The' ground work et all is Turkey red, 'but the birds and other designs are produced in blue, yellow and green. The Mo hammedans considered it sinful - to imitate nature too closely; and tho' • thereare peacock figures in the de signs prepared for ladies of that faith, they are, drawii in the rudest ' fashion and marked out in Mosaic. None of the designs of these Indian garments would find admirers in the; country, and as the artists are bound down by certain conventional rules, they have no scope for the creation of original patterns. As we have al ready explained, what is printed ou the clothes not the compiete color, but a substance to discharge the retl and absorb anether,color. This sub stance is applied in the form of a paste, which has no resemblance to . the ultimate color. ie . ._Am. • CLEANING Franies BEDS. When feather beds become soiled and heavy, they may be clean and light as follows : Rub them' over with a stiff brush' or broom,:dipped in Lot soap:suds. When clean; lay them on some clean boards where the rain will fall on them. When thoroughly soaked, let them dry in ;e; hot i,un, for six or seven successive da . )s, shaking them each day. They should be covered with a thick cloth &Ong the night. If exposed to the night-air, they will become damp and mildew. This way of washing the bed-ticking and feathers makes them , very fres!i etd light, and is much easier than the old-fashioned method of empty ing the beds,• hile it answers quite us well. .
