the rails will be laid and trains running regu—

is a population here of about 1500 people,
less than there has been previously. owing to
a “rush” to Silver Cliff, a mining camp about
twenty-five miles from here, which promises
to be a second Leadville. A line 'oi stages
are now running from this place'to Leadville
and the trip consumes two days. I witness:-
ed the arrival of one of the stages last even-

much as if they“ had earned their passage.

“BUCKING nucnonos.”
The broncho horse is a Mexican breed,and
his peculiarity is a propensity for “bucking. ”__
Mark Twain describes his experience with- a
“bucking horse” in his “Gilded Age,” and a
sight that the writer witnessed at the Springs
last week, must have been .a correct repre-'
sentation of at least one day of Twain’s ex—'
perience. A Missourian, who had served
in the Confederate cavalry, and who prides
himself on his horsemanshlp, is the owner.
of a large-sized Kentucky horse, and having;
talked a great deal of the superior qualities;
of his steed, trotted him out one day for the;
gratification of his acquaintances to show
his many “points” of excellence, and at the
same time to exhibit his own proficiency in;
the saddle. Prompted by a high degree of
courtesy, no doubt, our friend tendered us
the first chance in the saddle, but we were
satisfied to be a spectator on this occasion.
The Doctor mounted, and for about five min-
utes he capered around very nimbly on the
back of his “Pegasus.” when suddenly the
animal came to a halt, threw his head be-
tween his forelegs, then jumped clear of the
ground, two feet or more, and kept it up for
fifteen minutes at least. continuously. To
the Doctor’s credit as a horseman be it said,
he remained on the horse’s back, but such a
shaking up as he got on that occasion he will
ever remember. Two days he passed in
bed, and for more than a week did he limp
around the hotel, and a pair of black eyes
that would have graced a pugilist were a part
of his reward. “He's a “bucker” from
“Buckersville,” said the Doctor, the morning
we left the Springs, “but I stuck, didn’t I 4'”
We acknowledged our belief in his superior-
ity as a “sticker,” and in reply to his inquiry
as to “how a native-born Kentucky horse
could acquire the vicious habit of ‘bucking,’ ”
we told him “it undoubtedly came from his
employing a Mexican hostler.”
“ moan TRNDERFEE'I‘."
Town elections were held in Colorado last
week, and in Canon City one of the successful
candidates for Town Trustees,' was Mr. R. S.
Lewis, formerly of Naugatuck. Conn. Elec-
tion night was very lively, guns and pistols
were fired in the streets. and a timid “ten-
derfoot,”. who had just come in that evening,
made inquiries as to the cause. A half-dozen
commercial travelers took in the situation at
a glance, and told the new-comer that the
Indians and citizens had been indulging in a
skirmish up in the mountains for several
hours but they were now having a tussle just
at the outskirts of the town. Two guests of
the hotel, one of whom had erysipelas in his
foot and the other recovering from a bad
burn from a ladle of hot iron, were moving
about on crutches, and they were pointed out
as some of the wounded-l The party of
jokers was increased by taking in shelf-dozen
clerks in stores, who soon after came into the

exchanging a few words with some one in the

the rifle or gun to some one else who would

or Colonel so-and-so, and depart. These ac -
tions all tended to excite the “new corner]!
and. being of quite a timid disposition he
grew frightened to such an extent that he'de-
cided to go back to Pueblo, and on being in-
formed that there would be no train until the
next morning, inquired of the clerk if he

down on a hand car. “He must get to Denver
at once,” he said; ThrOugh the interference}

WEST ~STRATFORD.
At a school meeting held in Stratford not
long since, quite a lively discussion sprang
_up between citizens of this place and old
' Stratford, in regard to the division of the
school fund. Some pretty plain truths were
spoken,and WestStratford came off victori-
ous. Old Stratford is contented with the
district system, while’ we have .two of the
finest graded schools in the county, and our
citizens take a just pride in the manner of
conducting them. Since the meeting,citizens
of the old town have confessed that they
believe the graded system to be the cheapest
and best, but a mule is a mule and will kick
under any circumstances. When we see
men acting such a part we cannot help think-
ing of those memorable'words of the late
Rev. Dr. Mead, “ThankGod that some men
die,” or words to that effect.
We have noticed in several papers lately,
an account of an accident which lately hap—
pened to the Rev. Geo. L. Fuller. We re-
member listening to him preach years ago.
He was then quaint and plain in his dis;
course, but nevertheless we believed them to
be truths then and do still. When a ho e
remember hearing the following story old
concerning him. We do not vouch for its
truth but tell it as it was told to us. , ' Just
before service he asked a young man how it
was with his soul. “I have not got any,"
was the young man’s answer. Nothing more
was said at the time, but in his prayer Mr.
Fuller prayed that the Lord would bless that
young man's soul, and if it were possible
that he had no scul'to bless his gfzgard.
Some of the old-fashioned Methodist preach.
ers were very plain, and after telling the
above story, way-are reminded of asomewhnt
ludicrous incident, .to which we were aneye
witness. A preacher of the Methodigt per—.
suasion wan preaching a, sermon .on infidelity,
and while deseribing the different classes
of infidels he became very much animated.
Just then a young lady,
infidel, came into the church. She was
wearing a new dress. "Infidelity with a new
dress on,” shouted the preacher. Of course
the words were not intentional, but they
came at a very inopportune momeut. W.
- ing. The potatoes were actually boiled with
who was an avowed.
. , Ecumenism.
The Castle at Eisenach.
On our way to Berlin we stopped at the
little town of Eisenacb, a quaint place of
open—timber houses and crowding red. roofs
adornedwith a. thin growth of moss. Curi-
ous iron water-spoutes, wrought in many an i
odd twist and terminating in the heads of
beasts, hung over the street. More wonder-
ful still were the wrought-iron bell handles,
dangling beside some of the doors, a long
rod of irop with delicately worked orna—
ments of flowers and leaves twisted about
it. I wanted to bring one home, but one
could almost ’as easily carry the whole village
in a trunk. ‘
I think we stayed at the Thiiringer Hof.
Anyway it was a charmingly queer little
place. Our one waiter, who was also our
landlord, looked like a Spaniard. He was a
modest, retiring young man with a refreshing
air of deference and he trotted about, taking
queer little-running steps, and attending sol-
emnlyto our wants. Thee was a porcelain
stove erected in the dining-room and in each
of our sleeping apartments of course,~where
they remain all the year round.
We slept under. the usual coverings of
down, which are in reality light, fiufiy
“feather beds.” Though it was July we did
not often find them- too warm, but they were
given to rolling of! upon the‘ floor in the
night, so that they are a constant source of ,
complaint among the members of our party.
And it was our habit to demand beds made
in the “English style.” In some of the small
hotels, and it was a delight 'to two members
of the party at least, to reach a town where
the hotels were all small,—we found bare
“floors in our sleeping rooms snd rugs of fur
before the beds.
It was at the _Thiiringer Hof that we had
one of our first experiences of German cook-
in.
caraway seeds! What an item for the letters
home. ' '
Thiiringia'is a sweet sounding word. I
loved it when I read German fairy tales as a
child. .
At Eisenach we were not far from the
Thiiringian forest. The name is beautiful
when applied to a forest, but why it should
have been attached to the awful thing in the
shape of a cheese that the waiter brought to
our table I cannot imagine. I am not trying to
get' off a joke upon, the odor. of the German
cheese, though wehad to have this one taken
away directly on this' account. It was the
sight of it that I objected to, and even En-
riquito, who, since his stay in Europe has
learned to devour any known cheese, recoiled
from this one in horror. It was long and
narrow like a banana, its hue was sickly and
it was ornamented with a caraway seed here
and there. It had evidently been » taken
dripping from a jar of brine. , Let me not
dwell upon the painful subject.
In the little town is a'house where Luther
is said to have lived with Frau Ursula Cotta
when attending school in 1498,and in another
house, Bach, the great composer, was born
in 1685, Let thosetwo dates give dignity to
my description. Not that I culled them from
my garden of memory, my dear friends, no
such sturdy plant. grows there.
We did~not "happen at Eisenach upon a
market day. Would that we had, for I can
imagine no brighter, nor more busy scene
than the market with the women under
their umbrellas surrounded by their baskets
of fruit, flowers, or vegetables. 1
The Women Of Eisenach wear a calico
mantle, full, flowing and milled and their
heads are wrappedin dark handkerchiefs.
Over the town, crowning. a thigh, wooded
hill, is the castle called Wartburg. It was
founded by Louis the Springer in 1070,what.
’ever he did I consider him a' most unfortu-
nate person to go down to posterity with
such a lamentable name. He may have been
proud of it. ‘ People are sometimes proud of
very queer things. The castle is 624 feet
above Eisenach. I hope' that means some-
thing to you. I have to do all my measure-
ments by comparison, so Iam oblidged to
carry about a few steeples, or such things, in
my mind.
Wartburg was occupied by the Landgraves
of Thiiringia (doesn't that sound fine ?) down
to the extinction of the familyin' 1247. Since
1847- it has been restored and presents a faith-
ful picture of the condition of the castle in
the 12th century, its most glorious era. It
was then occupied by the art-loving Land-
graves and was the scene of the contests of
the greatest mediaeval poets. And it was
there in the 16th century that Martin.Luther
found an asylum, and where the mighty
struggle for religious 'liberty took its rise.
Luther Was intercepted on his return frbm
Worms by his friend, the Elector, Frederick
the Wise, and taken to the castle for safety.
His room, which has undergone little altera-
tion, may still be seen. ‘
There we saw his table, drinking-vessel,
costume as ‘J unger Georg,’ bookcase, letters,
portrait and other memorials, and there the
great Reformer worked at his translation of
the Bible, for nearly a year.
I think the Wartburg was the first castle I
visited. Imagine my feelings as I stood
upon the drawbridge at,the entrance. What
'American' girl has not dreamed ofncastle
walls and meats and drawbridges to say
nothing of the port-cullis, ever since her
babyhood? I . _
From the ivied Wall of the Wartburg, and
from the South Tower, there is a lovely—no,
I will neither say lovely, nor enchanting
there is" simply a view, ah, such a view of the
dark, forest-clad, Thliringian mountains and
the valley of Eisenach. Within the castle
are exquisite frescoes representing scenes
from the history of the first Landgraves, and
of the ‘Sangerkrieg,’ or contest between the.
great rival minstrels of Germany. In a cer-
tain gallery are wonderful frescoes of sweet
St. Elizabeth in difierent scenes from her life.
. Her father was Andreas II, of Hungary, and
_her' husband, the Landgrave Louis the-
Clement of'Thiiringia. It was she, I think,
who carried bread to the poor in spite of her
husband’s commands to the contrary, and
when he discovered her and demanded what
she carried, 10, the bread was changed to
roses. There is a fine armory at the castle
and a beautiful chapel. I have left until the
last our journey to_ the Wartburg. When
the carriage was at the door Enriquito was
missing. ' Whenever he vanished in a myste-
‘rious way there was nothing ‘to do but to.
find the addresses of the antiquity shops in
the place and follow him. We found him up'
many a crooked stairway,contemplating with
admiration an old helmet, or some rusty and
ancient weapons. In reponse to our glances
of reproach he tore himself away» and .we
started for the castle. The road wound
steeply up the mountain side. By the way,
there were women working in the fields,
making hay. old. old women were resting
on their .way home from the forest with
heavy loads of fagots on their poop-'backg,
By the readside grew quantities of small,
blue flowers, which I discovered to be actu—
ally forget-me-nots. Think of it, the grass
mositively full of the sweet blue things. We
began to ascend, the flowers grew thicker
and a" bare ~ leaped. from the wood and ran
across the road. We could not stay in the
carriage. > All around swelled the fair blue

The Exodus ‘ investigation. '
Senator Dan Vorhees has had a “flood of
light" poured in upon his cloudedbrain again
upon the exodus question. The Senate Com-
mittee on Tuesday week examined a colored
man named John G. Lewis, a resident .of
Nachitoches Parish, La., and an ex-momber
of the Packard Legislature. In answer to
the general question as to the causes of the
exodus, Mr. Lewis began by stating that the
colored people in Louisiana have had since
1874 “a very up-hill road to travel.” Their
political rights-had been denied thorn, and
this was the prime cause of the exodus
movement. Another cause was the. unfair
treatment by owners of land and merchants.
them, and feeling aggrieved they had looked
around for relief, and the only solace oflered
is to emigate.
‘» Referring to the political causes for the
'exodus, the witness said that Louisiana‘was
Republican if that vote could be gotten out,
and there was no way to reverse it lawfully.
The Democrats, however, had reversed it
unlawfully. . He then related the manner in
which he claimed this reversal was accom—
plished by the Democrats in his parish (Nach-
itoches). He said that in September, 1878,
an organization called the “298" Association
was instrumental in effecting this reversel
They herded the blacks together and forUed
them tovote the Democratic ticket. Badges
announcing that the wearer had voted the
Democratic ticket were pinned to the lappels
of their coats aftervoting, as a source of pro-
tection from the mob patrolling the streets
and these badges were far more potent than
the arm of the law. They drove from the
parish Republicanleaders for no other reason
than: because they were-influential and popu-
lar‘with their friends. The witness himself
was driven away because he was organizing
a Republican club. White men had to leave
their friends, their homes and theirvcoimty
simply because they were, popular with the
uegroes and could control their votes.
The witness thought the exodus would con-
tinue on the increase, but that it would not
assume greater proportions to the West than
heretofore, as _a great many would go to
Texas and the border.
The election of a Democratic President in
1880, the witness thought, would create con.
sternation among the colored people of the
South, and they would endeavor to goes they
went to Kansas—pell-mell—anywhere where
they felt sure they would be treated better
than in the South. '
These statements were .not exactly what
the “Tall Sycamore of the Wabash!’ was ex-
pecting, and so the witness was dropped like
a hot cake. and the committee adjourned.
It is exceedingly amusingIo watch the dif—
ferent efforts put forth by Senator Dan to
place some deep political construction on
this matter. His paramount idea- seems to
be that this is a deep laid scheme of the Re—
publicans to fill the Northern Democratic
States with colored Republican voters and
thus set a solid North against a solid South. .
On this account he snaps as greedily as s
,trout. at anything that will bring any discred-
.it upon the Republican party. But, as in
this case, he sometimes catches a Tartar, and
them—6h, how suddenly he is dropped.
Some hitherto inattentive member suddenly
recollects that he has an important engage-
ment elsewhere and so moves to adjourn,
while his friends, only too glad of this_loop-
hole, second and cary the motion. Some day
we may get an impartial verdict on this sub-
ject, but I hope the accomplishment of none
of my longings may be so indefinite as to
time. H. S.
A Late'But Welcome Return.
BY REV. THERON BROWN.
A touching instance of redemption at the
“eleventh hour" occurred not long since in
the City of Elizabeth, New Jersey. The
age of the parties concerned almost suggests
a picture of what. a prodigal’s home-coining
might have been in theantediluvian days.
One of the best known and most respect—
ed men in business circles in New York fifty
years ago was Isaac J aques, merchant draper.
’ He was one of the founders of the Seaman’s
Bethe], and later an original mover in the es-
tablishment of the Fulton street daily prayer
meeting. He accumulated wealth, and built
a fine counttry seat in Elizabeth, where he
might spend the resting hours of his useful
life. Every home comfort and pleasure aurA
rounded him there—to appearance. But he
had, his secret sorrow, and when his son
from the kind retraints of his house and- be—
came a confirmed profiigate, every one knew
what the sorrow was.
For more than thirty. years John Jacques
was to his father and mother worse than dead;
a depraved, debauched outcast whom no love
could reach. Their breaking hearts sufiered
in silence for him, an the pain became the
'pain of despair, and they lost sight of him,
as they thought, forever.
But at last the prodigal came to himself.
Of his own accord, or obeying a voice he
counsel, signed the temperance pledge, and
laid hold of kind hands that would lift his
ruined . self to manhood and hope. One
whole year noble friends in the city of New-
ark provided him employment, and watched
his life. John Jacques was is earnest. They
did not doubt that he_had become a reformed
together—a party of sixty—members of-the
Reformed Club and Women’s Union, and
took him with them to his father’s house to
give the aged man a happy surprise. The
patriarch, bowed with the weight of his
ninety. years, received the company with as-
tonishment, but admitted them to his spa—
cious parlors, not recognizing his son. Their
errand was soon told. “Good news, vener-
able father: Your son, who went long astray,
feeding upon husks, is restored and in his
right mind. We bring him home, where we
know there is enough and to spare. Behold
him, your child, and a child of God now,
with a renewed heart—a son no longer lost
but found." The emotion of the old man
wasindescribabie. It was his son indeed, a
—-a man in prime—his son once flushed with
vice and passion, now» standing before him
clear-eyed,‘comely and strong. He flung his
arms around the neck of his “boy," and
kissed him, and wept aloud. The bystanders
wept, too, when they saw that scene—the
child of nearly three-score, and the sire of
four-score and ten, embracing each other and
mingling their tears together. Voices were
lifted then in addresses of thanksgiving, and
in prayers and hymns; and the visitors went
‘awsy with a memory in their hearts that will
never fade.
Unless the answer to Simeon’s prayer has
.Iately'taken, his peaceful spirit, old Isaac
Jacques still lives in his home in Elizabeth
City, in happy re-union with his long lost
son—Umregata'onalat.

Joel Barlow.
[From the History of Bedding].
Joel Barlow, the poet and statesman, was
born in Redding,March 24, 1754. He receiv'-_
ed his early education first from the Rev. Mr
Bartlett, pastor of the Congregational church
in Bedding, and second at Moore's prepara—
tory school for boys, near Hanover, N- H.
He entered Dartmouth College in 1774, at
the age of twenty, and shortly after removed
to New Haven and was entered at Yale.
His college course was highly creditable in
many respects. During the college terms he
was u faithful student, especially winning
distinction for literary attainments; and du-
ring the long summer vacations he joined
the Continental army as a volunteer, and
aided in fighting the battles of his "country.
He graduated in 1778. From 1779 to 1783,
he was chaplain of one of the Connecticut
regiments .in the Revolutionary army.
Shortly after leaving the army in 1783, he
married Miss Ruth Baldwin, daughter of
Michael Baldwin, Esq., .of New Haven, and
-in 1785 settled as a lawyer in Hartford, Conn.
In Hartford Mr. Barlow appears as lawyer,
journalist (editor of the American Mercury),
bookseller and poet. In the latter capacity
he produced a revision of Dr. Watts‘s “Imi-
tation" of the Psalms, and also, in 1787, his
famous poem, “The vision of Columbus.”
In 1789 he accepted from the Sciota Land
Company the position of foreign agent for
the sale of their lands in Europe, and went
to England and later to France for this pur-
pose; but shortly after his arrival the com-
pany made a disgraceful failure, and he was
again thrown on his own resources. Fortu—
nately his literary reputation had made him
quitealion in the French capital, and be
easily succeeded in obtaining work on the
Fruch journals. Later he embarked in
some ' mercantile ventures, which proved-
successful and brought him a competence.'
He at first participated actively in the French
Revolution, which broke out soon after his
arrival in France, and becoming disgusted
with the atrocities Of the Jacobins, he with-
drew and went over to England. In Lon—
don, in 1791, he published his “Advice to the
Privileged Orders,” a work _ which drew out
a formaleulogium from Fox, in the House of
Commons.» This was succeded in 1702 by
his “Conspiracy of Kings,” a poem so bitter-
ly hostile to royalty, that he‘found it prudent
to leave England for France immediately on
its publication. Onohis return to France, at
this time, the privileges of'French citizen-
ship we're conferred on _him, only before ac-,
corded to but two Americans, Washington
and Hamilton.
Gregorio, former Bishop of Blois, and other
dignitaries to Savoy, and aided in organizing
that country into a department of the Re-
public. While here he wrote his “Hasty
Pudding," the mock-heroic, half-didatic
paem, which has chiefly endeared him to his
countrymen. 'In 1795 President Washington
appointed him consul to Algiers, with in-
structions to ratify the long pending treaty
with the Dey, and to liberate the American
prisoners there. Colonel Humphreys, the
American Mther to Portugal, an old friend
of Mr. Barlow, himself came to Paris to
urge him to accept; and proving successful,
the two friends left Paris on the 12th of
September, 1795, for Lisbon. From Lisbon
Mr. Barlbw proceed to Algiers oia Alicant,
and after a year and a half of effort, succeed-
ed in ratifying the treaty and in liberating
the captives. He then returned to France.
During the succeeding eight years he resided
in an elegant villa near Paris, formerly the
property of the Count Clermont Tonere, en-
enjoying the friendship of the chief men of‘
the nation, as well as that of all Americans
of eminence who visited the capital.
But in 1805 the desire to once more revisit
the land he had left seventeenyears before,
became too strong to be resisted longer, and
disposing of his estates in France, he return,
ed in July of this year to America. He was
warmly received in his native land, and after
an extensive tour, extending into the wee-
tern country, he returned to Washington,
where he built an elegant mansion called
Kalorama, and which was widely‘famed in
its day for its beauty and elegance, and
as beingthe resort of all the famous men of
the times. At Kalorama, Barlow gave his
chief attention to the cultivation of the
Mubes, and to philosophical studies. Here,
in 1808, he finished his great poem,"'The
Columbiad," which was printed in Philadel-
phia. andowas one of the most elegant vol-
umes ever issued from the American press.
He also busied himself with collecting ma—
terials for a general history of the United
States. In 1811 President Madison offered
him the responsible position of Minister to
Fcance, in the hope that his reputation and
his influence with the French Government
might secure for us a treaty giving indemni-
ty for past spoilations on ‘our commerce and
security from further depredations. Barlow
accepted the position'from motives of the
purest patriotism, in the belief that his tal-
ents and position might be made useful to his
country. He sailed from Annapolis in July,
1811, in the‘ historic frigate Constitution.
Captain Hull, which had been placed at his
disposal by the Government. His negotia-
tions with Napoleon, while on this mission,
were conducted through the Duke (is Bassa-
no, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and covered
a space of nearly a year and a half: Napo-
[eon acknowledged the justice of the claims
of the United States, and expressed a wil-
lingness to ratify a'treaty of indemnity; but
he was so absorbed in directing the campaign
against‘Russia, and in his other operations
on the European field, that it was very diffi-
cult to bring the matter toa satisfactory con-
clusion.
Barlow received a note from the Duke dc Bas-
the Emperor had deputed the business of- the
treaty to him, and that if Mr. Barlow would
come to Wilna, he had no doubt that the-
trcaty might be speedily ratified. B:irlow,on
receipt of the note, at once set out, and trav-

Over my window the ivy-climb” ' ’
Its roots are in homely jail. '
But all the day. it looks at the sun.
And at night looks out at them. .
The dint of the room may dim its green,
But I call the breezy air; .
“Come in, come in, good friend of mine,
And make my window fair.”
' So the ivy thrives from morn to morn,
Its leaves all turned to the light;
And it gladdens my soul with its tender
green .
And teachés’me day and night.
What though my lot is in lowly place,
And my spirit behind the bars?
All the day long I may look at the sun
And at night look out at the stars.

There's a glorious outer air
That will sweep through my soul if I let it

THE BAR
“Ho’s fbar’ is always mpplicd with the choicest
byuors.”-—Horsr. Anvnnrisnssns'rs.
Why call it a bar ? Say, whence is derived
This name for a depot of spirits of evil?
Was the name by some sly friends of virtue
contrived, ' '
Or, like the thing named, did it come from
Ithe devil? ' - . ' " '
Be thisas it may, ’its a capital name
Short, easily said, and of meaning most

And-I rather suspect from the devil it came ;

Because prim facr'c, it bars from the liq-

But (that’s not its full, honest meaning,by far;
Just jingle the money, the rum follows

I’ll tell what it means—’tis a bar to all good,
And a constant promoter of erery thing

’Tis a bar to all virtue, that is well under-

School ReadingMadé Interesting
The Boston school committee have de-
vised a plan for lending special attractive-
ness to the usually dull half hour devoted to
‘the exercise of reading in the public schools.
The regular readers have been supplemented
by selected stories from general literature.
The primary children, for-instance, are re-
galed with “Jack the Giant Killer," “Little
RedRiding Hood,” “Cinderella,” and other
popular juvenile fictions printed in a pam-
phlet form for school use. The older chil—
dren have selected tales from the “Arabian
Nights,” and other entertaining fictions are
to be prepared for their delectation. The
superintendent claims that the introduction
of this new feature has been surprisingly
successful. The children-whose every look
and act showed. how tedious and irksome
the reading hour was to them, are now. all
attention and animation. They are not al-
lowed to read the books our of school hours,
and the text is therefore new to them at each
lesson. Especially among’the poorer chil-
dren, whose only pleasure reading is confined
to an occasional dime novel or ”trashy paper,
Is the improvement noticeable, and in no
better way, considers Superintendent Elliot,
can alpureland elevated tastefor good reading
be implanted. ' ‘
