Thrilling Ev Life and Wonderfal Growth of the State, s of Early The twenty-fifth annive covery of gold in Cherry creek, and the -y of the dis- settlement of Colorado, was celebrated in Denver on the 13th inst. by about 600 of the Pioneer society. The event was pro ductive of many interesting reminiscences of the early days and the hardships of the 50ers. The present membership of the Pioneer society shows that New York State furnished the largest number, 7, while one each of the natives of Missis sippi, Louisiana, Virginia and Rhode Is- land sought the fickle goddess fortune at the base of the Rockies. Ohio, as usual, was close _te tho top, forty-five oing . natives of that State, Ponnsylvania Teoming next with thirty-five. The natives of the Lastern States number 122; Western States, 123; Southern States 31, and foreign countries 81, There were few instances of men being held up in those days. The intel- loctual tramp had not yet heard of Colo- rado, the cultured eastern burglar was still doing missionary work in New Eng- land, and the bogus insurance company was then relioving the widow and the orphan in the land of the Puritans. There were no rich men to grind the faces of the poor; all were poor alike, but brave, A SBAI S RAKSE - oA NERY, 4L honest. Pike's Peak,as the country was then called, lying midway between civili- zation on the east, and Utah on the west —in the midst of a sea of wilderness and plain, with its barren wastes was not cal- culated to inspire a now comer with much zeal, or hopo for a bright future, LYNCH LAW. The first instance of Lynch law was graphically related by Judge Stone. Two young men were arrested for robbinga follow miner. They were tried by a miners’ court and sentenced to be hung. “‘In the meantime,” says Judge Stone, “Governor Hunt, the United States mar- shal for the district of Colorado, had learned of the affair and dispatched to me a warrant for the arrest of the cul- prits, sending me at the same time a jon as deputy to execute the warrant. A crowd of nearly a thousand miners had gathered te see the execu- tion. Under a pine tree two graves had been dug, and beside them was placed a wagon upon which the two condemned criminals were standing with ro] noosed about their necks and fastened to a limb of the tree above, looking down upon their open grapes, and waiting the signal when the wagon should be drawn from under them. A hollow square of men with loaded rifles enclosed the wagon. I jumped upon a pine log and harangued the crowd, urging them to al- low the prisoners a trial in the territorial courts, The people feared an escape and were inflexible, The crisis had come, Suddenly breaking through the guard and leaping upon the wagon, I claimed the criminals as my prisoners. Instantly every riflo of the guard was leveled upon me. Snatching the warrant from my pocket I held it up, showing the seal and the American eagle on the corner, and commenced in a loud voico to read the formal printed mandate of the warrant: “In the name of the President of the United States, we command you to take the bodies of," etc. I got no further with the reading than this, for these words were no sooner ut- tered than a voico in the crowd shouted: “Boys we can't resist the president of the United States. Hoorah for Lincoln!" Immediately the crowd echoed the choer, Hoorali for Abe Lincoln!” Immediato- ly the guns, of the guard were brought to a ‘present arms;” with my camp knifo I cut tho ropes which bound the prisoners add took them to jail in Denver, THE FIRST PLUG HAT, The first plug hat to appear in the dig- ging was worn of P. P. Wilcox. This was as late as 1866, and the Yionuur days were then considered past, but it was a sad example, and was the first step to a sad end, The erring brother has come down to bo an Indian agent of a starvel- ing band of imprisoned Apaches in the deserts of Arizona, where he goes wan- dering about, a mere cadaverous shadow, with nothing to wear but a government commission and a red flannel breech- clout, SENATOR CHAFFEE'S TREAT. I can never forget the bright Sunday morning when the stage rolled up to the Broadwell house. Kor ten days and nights nine of us had been (rn\'ufuug for Denver, My first transaction in the way of business was to invite my comrades and thosesitting about theoftice to drink, lying on the counter a $20 gold piece. After waiting some time for the change, the clerk blandly yet firmly sug- gested that it was “‘all right.' That transaction made one temperance man, my stock of cash was not heavy, THRE PIONEER WOMEN. The early pioneers had a pretty hard time of it, said Wolfe Londener, and we either had tohave the women or go home 1 remember those women going around in their every day calico dresses, sewing on our buttons, putting patches on our sflnhloonl and taught us how to make apjacks. There was nothing wasting in those days. As my friend Judge Steck has said " they didn't wear mother hub- bards, They didn't have any bangs. They didn't have any quarrels with the hired girl about getting \:{.\ These wore a) no loose habits in those With the assistance of these women we have built up a great state, Looking around me I see & woman who in those carly days was known as the wo- man freighter. Bhe was known to some as the female freighter, to others as Mother Corker. She had two wagons and drivers and was boss of the whole outfit. While crossing the plains the party was attacked by Indians. These aoble, hardy pioneers got under the wagons and left the woman to fight it out. The Indians kept circling round ing yellow hair and wore teeth” Later in 1863, when the lady took up a ranch, it was found that she had a beware of counterfiits, Avk your grocer or druggiet for the rnuhso tured b A “BIEELT & BoNa, N, Solo Ageal b—-u:v.u..i:.r. valuable quarry.

THE PRESENT AND PAST, said Senator Chaffee, state in every tion, reaching every mining camp miles enough in length to reach twice around the entire State. Last week Irode on atrain of cars, racing with another train on a rival road, Our railroads, traverse the miles westward, in the mountain fast ness, beyond two of the principal moun- tain ranges, which the two roads cross at at an elevation of over two miles above lovel. A forecast’of this given twen ild have required more faith to believe than would the ab. solute truth of the legend of Greek mythole No Stato has a more prosperous and oxcellent school system. The school pr perty of the State is estimated at §: 000,000, Denver stands unrivaled in her aystem of high school buildings, costing 500,000, in 1882 was £26,750,000. most y. crops, hay, grain and vegetables, £10,- 000,000, 000, Live stock and wool $11,000,- The manufactories of Denver alone nployment to over 5,000 men. The orado Coal and Tron company, of Pueblo, only recently established, has manufactured over 75,000 tons of iron and steel in different formsand over 30,- 000 kegs of nails and spikes. Wo have numerous ore smelting estab- lishments scattered over the state. The ant smelter, located in Denver, gives constant business for fifty-five railroad cars, it is the largest ore sinelting estab- lishiment in the world, The business of the Denver merchants last year exceeded $205,000,000, but time will not permit me to specify more. Our Denver is the wonder of all_ who see it, and is known and read of of all men. Leadville stands uarivalled in the history of the world. A hundred cities and towns and our cultivated fields make up one of the most important States of the Union, Every ounce of gslvd and silver produced is that much added to the measure of all values, consequently min- ing industry is the most important and necessary to keep in harmony the accu- mulating wealth of the world, e —— Relation of Clothing to Bodily Heat, From “Clething and the Atmosphere,” by M. R. Radau, in Pojular Science Monthly for Octobor, The thinnest veil ix a vestment in the sense that it moderates the loss of heat which radiation causes the naked body to experience. In the same way a cloudy sky protects the earth against too great cooling in spring nights. In covering ourselves with multiple envelopes of which we augment the protecting thick- ness according to the rigor of the seasons, we retard the radiation from the body by causing it to pass through a series of stages, or by providing relays. The linen, the ordinary dress, and the cloak constitute for us so many artificial epider- mises The heat that leaves the skin oes to warm these superposed envelopes; it passes through them the more slowly 08 | in proportion as they are poorer conduc- tors reaching the surface, it escapes, but without making us feel the chills which direct contact with the atmosphere occasions, for our clothes catch the cold for us. The hairs and the feathers of animals perform the same function as toward their skin, serving to remove the seat of calorific exchange away from the bm‘.{. The protection we owe to our clothes is made more effectual by their always being wadded with a stratum of warm air. Each one of us thus has his own atmosphere, which goes with him everywhere, and is rengwed without being cooled. The animal also finds under its fur an additional protection in the bed of air that fills the spaces betweon the hairs; and it is on account of the air they inclose that porous substances, furs, and feathers keep warm, Experiments to determine the degree of facility whth which different substan- ces used for clothing allow heat to es- capo were made by Count Rumford, Senebier, Boeckmann, James Starck, and M. Coulier. The results were not in all cases consistent with each other, but they indicate that the property is depend- ent on the texture of the substancerather than en the kind of material, or—as con- corns non-luminons heat-—its color. —— RELIGIOUS, In the Methodist and Baptist churches of the South there are 1,500,000 negroes. Evangelist Moody is going to Ireland to make converts among the Ioman Catholic tenantry. Baltimore Catholics deem it probable that when Bishop Becker of that city reaches Rome ho will have been made anArchbishop, and that_he will take part in the_deliberations of tho Conforonce called by the Pope. Speaking of the British section of the Wes- loyan Cominunity, the chapel secretary says thit 118 places of worship, costing nearly $1,- 5,000, have been crected during the past year. A sum of about £160,000 was lust year expended upon thirty new orvans in Wesloyan chpels. The tenth anniversary of the consecration of Bishop Paddock, of the Protestant Episcopal church, will be celebrated in Boston, on the 19th inst., with a service at St. Paul's church, and a breakfast at the Hotel Vendome, at which Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, will proside.
