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.

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

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.

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.

HIIMORODS SKETCHES.
We have recently moved into a .•
ousilhat had a front yard. We s
liavieslways lived in houses whoini ,

will play in the yard whether there
r's any street - running through it or
not. After two or three of them had ,
arely escaped being "rnu over with
the teams that insisted on running t
through our front- ard, my wife said
we must rent a house that hadn't 'a

Wife said - the yard looked- bare
without shrubs .and flowers,: , and
vines. I hinted- that a little grass
would help, too. , She asked -mp if I

hail been at such pains to, cellect,and .
set them out in the back yard among
t i'e other rubbish. .
he next morning she asked me if
I V'onght I could get the roses for
the front yard. I told her I knew a ti
man who had got a lot of early rose
potatoes, but it wasn't the right time j
of year .for setting them out. (I
have an idea thatthe groundis much
better employed in raising a potato
than,in raising a flower, unless it be
a barrel of flower.) Wife said I . I
hadn't a bit of taste. She then gave
't men membrauda of roses she :want
' ed. I wa4 busy all day, but just as
I Was taking a car for home,l thought
of3be roses. I referred to ti.e mem
' oranda and found the following
" Get a few geraniums, fuschsias,
heliotropes, roses, bourbon, running
rose, " Prairie Queen," golden tea
' plant:vines, English ivy, " Wander
e ing Jew," seeds, etc.
' I studied it hard' but it was
ly incomprehensible. She he l i evi
•dently got things tidied up. Howe'v
' er I went to the florist's and told
what I wanted.
_Said :
t Give, me a few geraniums, :and a
few shes, and—
• " A few what?" asked! the flower
man, looking puzzled.
A 'few shea," said I, turning very t
red, I kuo ,, , for I couldn't tell fur s
the life of me what my wife wanted t
of a few sites about the place, as Ae
never could dire in - the same house
with auQther woman.
As the florist - looked more stag-.I I
gard thap ever, I handed him the 1
memoranda, when-he burst out into
a load laugh. !,
" Why, man," he - cried, "'its fu-
Chaise she wants!"
And then he roared again. -
" Well, whatever it is, give ; me a_
couple of yards of it, anyhow, front

-'You see I' : was mad.
I got the things the !,iileinorands
sei-nied to cull forint various places,
and wen, home.'
" Hero, Mrs. Boggs," said I testily.
" are the things for your front yard."
" Why, what iy this? " cried she,
na I thrust a two gallon jug among
the other things.
"Bourbon, my dear; I found it on
s the memoranda. Pretty thing 'to
, set in the front yard, though. How
long do you suppose it'll stay there,
with the neighbors we've got?"

How DIIII4NG C, USES A POPLEXT.
It is the essential nature of all wines . 1-
and spirits-to send an" increased
amount of blood to tip brain. The
first effect of taking a glass of wine
or stronger form of alcohol, is to
send the blood there i faster than
common, hence the circulation that
gives the red face.' It increases the
activity.of the brain- and it works
faster,-and so does the tongue. But
as the blood goes to the, brain faster.
than common, it returns faster,- and
no special harm results.- But sup : -
pose a man keeps on drinking, the
blood isr - sent to the brain so fast, in
such large quantities, that in order
to,make room for it; the arteries have
to . enlarge themselves ; they, increase
in sizet, and in doing so they press
against the more yielding flaccid
_veins, which carry the blood 'out of
the, brain, and thus .diminish their .
size, their pores, the result being that
t::s3 blood is not only carried to the
arteries of the team falter than is
natural. or healthful, but it is pre
witted from leaving it as fact' as usu

deaths 'are in operation. Hence,
