LETTER FROM DENVER, „ COLORADO- ’. . _ _
Mu. EniTOIt:—Home was vividly
brought to mind last evening by a stray
copy of your journal.
D< iicato health necessitated leaving
the South years ago, since which time I
have been constantly tra veling.
The past summer was spent in Arizona
and in tho Hockey mountains, cross,ng
and rccrossing the “Great divide;”
climbing passes, traversing pictures,pie
valleys,visiting Indian reservations, pros¬
pecting gorges with walls towering thoK
sunds of feet above the beaten train and
pausing at camps of rich gold and silver
mines.
Last mouth I rode to the top of Pike’s
Peak on the new “log wheel” railroad re¬
cently opened for tourists. It is the m< st
novel railroad in existence, compassed
with those of Mount Washington, N. II.,
and the Khigi Switzland are insignificant.
The winding and curving necessary to
attain three milts of attitude makes «the
road ten miles in length. Its cost was
a half million dollars. The road-bed is
twenty feet wide; the culverts are of sol¬
id masonry and the bridges and rails arc
of the heaviest steel, with a double log
wheel m the centre. The track is sub¬
stantially anchored at short intervals to
ilie solid rock. The cars, without being
tilted, aro bang Within fifteen inches of
tilerails and two pinion brakes are so ar¬
ranged, that when necessary, the train
can be stopped in ten inches, either as
r,vending or descending. The engine was
coupled at the rear and pushed the train,
i desireablc innovation, relieving ones
eyes from the constant annoyance of
cinders. Stops were frequent at all
■sightly points. The round trip, costing
#5.00, occupied three hours and was the
best investment of time and money made
in ten years of foreign and home travel
A chat with Sergeant A’Keeffe, in
charge of the signal station on the sum¬
mit, elicited the following interesting
facts:
The lowest temperature experienced
was 57 below zero, tlie highest 02 above;
the mean highest winter temperature 14
below. The winter zephyrs were often of
considerable strength. In one instance
one hundred and thirty-five miles per
hour was indicated, at which point tlie
wind blew the balls from tlie socket and
the roof from the cabin, followed by a
marked increase in velocity continuing
several hours, during which he estimated
tlie speed attained at 150 miles per hour.
Everybody with energy and enterprise
prosper in Colorado, because money is
hauled in car-load lots from the mines,
(lows i:i barrels from the oil wells, and
buds and blossoms on its fertile soil.
The best feature of all is that the
■growth and development of the State lias
■only just commenced.
My recent exploration of the famous
Death valley in south eastern Calafornia
was made in the company of that distin¬
guished botanist and savant the Roy. E.
.(I. Head, chaplain to the one hundred
and third Royal English Artilery, for a
dong period stationded at Cape Lawn,
Sonth Africa, but, who, since liis resigna¬
tion, has made 22H2 Arapahoe St. Denver,
Col., Ills home.
[t is not generally known that the rev
eroned gentleman possesses a formula ac¬
quired from a native African practitioner
quite as important to humanity Prof. Koch, as that of j
recently discovered by j
Germany. It is nothing less than a radi¬
cal remedy for blood poison in its varied
forms, the efficacy of which 1 have repeat¬
edly seen demonstrated in the immedi¬
ate recovery of victims of rattle snake,
tarantula, and centipede bites in southern
Arizona, where such venemous i entiles
abound. It proves also to be a radical
and immediate cure for all inoculated vi¬
rus and for mercurial and all other forms
of rheumatism. It builds up the exhaus¬
ted constitutions of both sexes, increases
the appetite, strengthening and invigor¬
ating the entire system.
Sneli is its positive and recognized val¬
ue in medical circles that the English
government is negotiating for the right to
i ts use.
Long continued experiments prove it
to bo far more positive in its results than
bathing ” in the celebrated Hot Spring of
Arkansas.
Fie se‘favor me with a few copies of
your paper to distribute among minier
eus old-time Southern friends residing
here and elsewhere in the State. They
will 1 know appreciate home news quite
as much as does your occasional eonets

Mu. Kniroi;:—John J. Ingalls is out of
a. job. Hurrah for Livingston; hunch for
Kansas. The old partisan specimen of
negro domination has been vvofully snow¬
ed under, no longer to spout his rancor¬
ous venom against the south from a
seat in the t . 8. Senate. The great dem
oeratic tidal wave that arose and swept
the continent struck the Pacific shore on
the coast of Kansas and rose a mountain
high and rebounding Cell with coBossal
ponderossity and swamped long John’s
political barque and lie has sank to rise
no more, and this “little bantam’" is
ing about that, too. Condolence, Colo¬
nel Brock, across the bloody chasm.
If this “little bantam” can’t do any
thing else but crow, tlie legislature of
the great state of Kansas can belch thun¬
der, and they have done it. They have
belched that old venomous varment out
of tlie senate and this ■“little bantam” lias
been wishing for that for six months and
it has conso. Whoop! One strong stob of
the “grand old party” is gone. Ha! ha,
and that good piece of political legisla¬
tion that was so much good foi the peo¬
ple and especially the people of the south
(the Henry Cabot Lodge Force bill) has
been shelved also. What will become of
your vote new, Colonel? Can a man that
lias been raised in the south indorse such
infamous coercive measure as that? 1
pause in bewilderment! Tlie will of the
majority (unless republican) would have
met with no more regard by the return
ing board of that bill than the cries of a
small chicken does when fast in the claws
of a hungry liawk. The people of this
country are not quite ready yet to create
Dukedoms and lifetime Lordships. The
elections last fall prove that, and the
people of this great country are becom¬
ing aroused to the fact that they have a
l ight to demand tlieir rights at the hands
of tlieir public trustees, and the “little
bantam cock crows” bully for the main
want. Hurrah for Livingston! Hurrah
for Kansas! I am a democrat if I am a
little 2x1 one.

UNCLE NED ON THE LAGRIPPE.
Mit. Editor:— I wish to say a little
about tllis grippe we hear se much talk
about. It is nothing only tlie influenza
that we have always liad during winter.
It’s nothing only theie forked tongue
medicine quacks and advertisers that are
causing so much sickness. They have
started a new disease, whereby they are
getting the people to believe there is
something terrible the matter, and sure
enough there is when they begin to take
medicine. I speak from actual experi
euce.
There was a time in the history of the
world when men lived to be old before
dying without the aid of medicine and
physicians. There were no stethoscopes.
pleximeters or ophHiolnioscopes in those
days. When a man felt gloomy lie did
not know whether it was his consience or
liis liver out of plum, or Bright’s disease,
Possibly the cause of the ignorance of the
people , . that , , age arose from . tbe fact
m
that they did not find in the papers any
warnings to avoid delay in attending to
tlieir hacking coughs. No admonitions
regarding what should speedidly be done
for pains in their backs, and no disci ip
tion of golden remedies for opium habit
or some cure for catarrh. In fact, they
did not have any papers to lead. The
progress and discoveries in medteiuo din¬
ing the present have produced a differ¬
ent order of tilings.
Now, every one cun bo his own doctor
and can consign himself to an early grave
as speedily as if lie was in tho hands of a
learned physician. . 1 ho who roads
man
the paper will discover that he is 1KVW
and lias been for some time, unknown to
himself, suffering from dreadful ills and
lie nil! learn how to speedily euro them.
He will ti|!id that if he will try a certain
remedey put up in one dollar bottles lie
will never suffer from heart burn, cold,
beat or paintoi’s colic, and if lie takes
another remedy he will not die in the
house. To read these exhortations to
the sick, some of them romantic inn ra
lives woven around an incident that
points and suggests tie in oof sonse'iodyjs
only genufnd bitters. One would sup¬
pose that every ono wlu» could read non
pavel would diagnose his own ease; find
in newspapers the remedy to fit it, and
would soon lie so burdeiiod with health
that lie would have it to se’!, to invest
and to give to tho poor. But the supposi¬
tion would not be born out by actuaj
f:tills.
j There is Major, for instance, who
| fought all through the war and came
, home in good health. Twelve months
ago he read an article in a newspaper that
told how men wive going down to the
tomb accompanied l,y Bvight's disease
and they did not. know it. The writer
said symptoms diferred in different ca
scs. Some times it was a headache at
morning, other times it was diziness in
the head, at others weakness in the legs
when one was out late at night. Again,
it was a continuous desire to drink or
cliew something. The Major recognized
the symptoms. lie had suffered from all
of them. He became ^alarmed. Fortu¬
nately in the same article he found IV. W.
15. recommended as a sure cure. He
bought a bottle and as directed abstain¬
ed, etc., while under treatment. Bright’s
disease disappeared. But no sooner did
j Major get rid of it than cramps took pos
j session of him. Glancing ov£r his paper
| he found that Rough on Cramps would
j scatter a whole collection of cramps in
1 tried box of it.
| fifteen minutes. He a
j Instant relief. But no sooner was lie
j rid of the cramps than his liver refused
to act. He again had recourse to his
papers where he had choice of a dozen
liver lubricators, well recommended by
prominent clergymen. He tried some o 1 '
these remedies and soon had liis striking
liver working ten hours a day. No soon¬
er did he get rid of it than he found him¬
self with neuralgia. He got a neuralgia
indicator to be used in connection with
cold baths. The indicator knocked the
neuralgia but tbe cold baths brought on
rheumatism, and so it has gone on. The
Major has or immagined he had about
seventeen diseases. The last we seen cf
him was about a month ago. Gout had
claimed him for its own and he was going
armind on crutches. Doubtless by this
time he lias got a gout cure that lias done
its work and left in iis trail
a new disease to make inroads on
his constitution and imagination and to
give him an opportunity to limit for a
new remedy for the LaCrippe.

Umt.ic Ned.
