Mm - m—evs A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. The Remarkable Scenery on the Bagle and Grand Rivers. EAGLE RIVER CANON A Rival to the Royal Gorge and Other Notable Bits of Scenery in Colorado—An Un- known Land. Rocky Mountain The com- pletion of the Eagle river extension of the Denver & Rio Grande railrond as far as Glenwood Springs is an event of more than passing moment. Many in- terests are touched and vivified by the radiating rails. Not only the specific territory penctrated, but also the state and even the nation feel the influence and share in the results. To one who “loves not man the less but nature more” the wonderful region of moun- tains and rivers, canons and cliffs tra- versed by this new extension of the “Scenic line™ will present natural at- tractions more powerful than any arti- ficial ones. Therefore this letter shall treat more of nature’s wonders than of sny present or prospective works of man. The writer reckons rare good fortune to have been a passenger on the first regular train ev n between Leadville and Glenwood Springs. Last Thursday morning the train moved ly out of the “Cloud City,” and an ntin the annals of Colorado’s ad- vancemént worthy of the most enthusi- astic demonstrations passed silently into history. AN UNKNOWN LAND. ‘What there is of scenic interest he- tween Leadville and Red CIiff is well known, for the railroad has connected these two places for several years, but all that lies beyond, except to the few adventurous and hardy ones, is an un- known land. A land, however, that cannot long remain unknown, for here are the rivals in grandeur,the superiors in variety of the justly famed canyons of the Arkansas and Gunnison. The Eagle river canyon and the canyon of the Grand ri resent characteristics entirely dissimilar, each being indi- vidual in its beauties, and both bearing but slight resemblance to those they rival. Crossing the range at Tennessce pass by a serics of curves and grades little less than marvelous, the road, by equally devious path, makes the desc to Red Cliff. Shortly before this thriv- ing mining town is reached, at the head of an immense bend, the traveller catches a magnificent view of the Mount of the Holy Cross, towering above its lesser companion mountains, and bearing upon its bosom the sy which has a solemn and my: meaning to all thinking men, whether Christian or ugnostic. The sight of this cross of snow suspended on . breast of granite is a- fitting prepa ion for the succession® of grand and sublime, golemn and impressive scenes which are to follow. EAGLE RIVE A Beyond Red CIliff the Kagle canon opens to the view at first a com- paratively wide expanse, latter more narrow, walled in on each side by cliffs of varicolored rocks whose lofty and ap- parently insurmountable summits bear the dark banners of the pine. Admi tion and awe at this stupendous work of nature take possession of the mind, when suddenly those emotions are over- shadowed by wonder and almost incred- ulous surprise at the daring of man, for there above us on our right, perched like the nest of heaven-scaling eagles, rest the habitations of men! There are the shaft houses and abiding luces of adventurous miners, who, aving climbed these cliffs, pick in hand, have here discovered rich veins of the precious , which being blasted from its matrix, is conveyed to the railrond trdack 2,000 feet below, by a most ingenious s m of tramways and endless steel There is some- thing very imy ve in_ the sight of these frail cliff-perched dwellings, and the shaft-pe nonm-»ll tunnel-pierced rock peuks suggest i il the fabled cavernous labyrinths of Kor. can the traveler find a more ive {llustration of mine methods than is here presented by the shaft-scarred sides of Battle mountain and the pinnacle-perched eyries of Eagle'River canon.

Here are comfortable ranch houses surrounded by fields of g some of it now in process of hary o there are herds of cattle feeding con- tentedly in natural pastures, while on all sides are seen ovidences of peace, prospe and plenty. The Kagle river, a beautiful stream, whose bright waters do not conceal the bright col- ored gravel of its bed, meanders through the valley, adding to the beauty of the scene and carrying with it the practical benefits of irrigation, without which the soil would produce nothing but veg- etation suitable for grazing purposes. A fisherman standing in the stream waved a big trout at us as the train flew past.

Just be distant glimpse of fertile coun the clear waters of the Eagle are lost in the muddy current of the Grand and a canon grenm in extentand more varied in character than that of the Arkansas opens before us. As the train speeds downward, the mountainsg on the horizon behind us seem to rise upward toward the zenith as though the miracle of creation was being repeated before our eyes. Soon, however, the distant mountains are shut out and only the sky above, the river and track beneath and the ecliffs around are visible, and here begins a panorama kaleidoscopic in its ever changing forms and colors, the wonder of the one who sees, the despair of the one who wished to tell others what he saw In places the effect is that of giant Egyptian art and architecture.

Suggestions of the Sphinx an of the pyramids can be caught in the severe and gigantic rock-piled structures on every hand. - These are not made u of boulders, mnor are they sohs monoliths, like. those in the Royal Gorge.

RIVALS THE ROYAL GORGE. the canon of the Grand rival the Royal George? It does. But “‘one star differeth from another in #lory. The two canons are entirely distinet in character.

The president, two mem- bers of his cabinet (Manning and La- mar, for Secretary Manning was mar- ried not long before the inauguration of his chief, one_justice of the supreme court (Judge Matthews), several mem- bers of the house of representatives, in- cluding Long, of Massachusetts; Irva Davenport, of New York; Glover, of Missouri; and McMillan, of Tennessee, has each brought a bride to Washing- ton within _the last two and a half years. and most of the marriages to which reference is made have occurred within eighteen months past. On this list, probably the most noted of the kind in almost any group of men who were at any one period called at the same time in similar capacities to those named with our government, may be added the sons and daughters of gov- ernment officials, including members of the supreme court and of the two houses of congress. who have been married. Among them have been the daughter’ of Justice Miller, of the supreme court; the son of Judge McArthur, of the su- preme court of the district of Columbia; the daughter of the late Senator Miller of California; the late Senator Logan’s son, and the daughters of Senator Eustis, Senator Camden, Senator Ha Senator Colquitt, Representative ive Spriggs. ped Bridegroom. New York Sun: Curious scenes in railroad travel where the actors are a newly marvied couple ave frequently met with, but one took place on southern express that left Jersey City recently which is somewhat out of the usual course of events, When the train drew up at Newark a man and woman, idently anewly married pair,got on the train for Philadelphia. ;\‘l of the other cars being full, the couple had to find seats in the smoking car, where they comfortably ttled themselves flitex' putting a carpet-bag and several pack- ages in the rack overhead. The bride- groom then began to give her his ear- nest and undivided attention, with a view to making the trip as pleasant as possible. The man was dre in a pair of trousers of the bedtick order, 1t of a_pea-green coat dangled lm'g«‘, and massive watch chai around his neck was a bandana kerchief, tied in a knot. Nothing was wanted to complete his toilet but a col- lar, and this s missing. The girl was dressed in a calico gown and a_ large hat, with P T in it, set saucily on her head. After the train had gotten well under s several passengers noticed the pe- actions of the man. His face was flushed, his eyes snapped fire, and it was evident that some trouble had befallen the pair. The man suddenly and began to take off his coat and t. Then he pulled down his 8 and was in the act of remov- ing his trousers when a passenger called the attention of the brakeman to his conduct. Before the conductor could be summoned he drew a revolver and commenced to emphasize his re- marks to his spouse by flourishing it in her face. By this time the occupants of the car became very nervous and began to edge toward the door. The conductor finally succeeded in persuading the groom to subside and put up his pistol. The cause of all the trouble was the mis- placement of the finances of the bridal tour. Things looked quite serious for a time and rather discouraging for the trip. At last the conductor suggested that the pockets of his linen duster, which had been overlooked, be searched, and there was found the cause of the unpleasant episode. The groom was then seized with a sudden paroxysm of delight, and, throwing his arms around the girl’s neck, began to kiss and hug her vigorously. He then pro- duced a black bottle and invited the passengers to take a whack with him to celebrate his good fortune. Result of a M Lincoln Journa trimonial “Ad."

She found her lover waiting for her in a convenient place. The whole party, armed to the teeth, made way to this place to secure . license for the mar- riage. As the girl was under nge, only fourteen, the license was refused. The party then drove across to Carrollton, the lovers in a wagon, while the other members were on horseback, with rifles ready for action. In Carroliton the necessary papers were secured and the marriage took place. Since then the whole neighborhood has divided into factions, and several bloody fights have tuken place.

With a glance at the clerk that was evidently meant for a_confidential don’t-give-it- , he asked for a "nun-yflgn Adams’ friends pummi The clerk made out the license that was to wed the happy couple. The coon picked it up and started out with a grin on his mug that would have allowed the passage of half a loaf of bread. He was called back, however, and asked for the money.

New York Letter: To the one of our resorts there came ten years ago, a dig- nified southern general, with his wife, and a daughter so lovely that all who saw her were charmed, The first few weeks the southern visitors were quite exclusive and frowned upon any at- tempts of the citizens of the north to get acquainted with them. They came sim- ly for a change of air and did not care Jof sooiety. A northorn general, with his family, stopped at the same house, and there was a son in that family There almost always is a son in a north- ern family when there is a pretty girl around.

Thesouthern general was mad,and that made the northern general mad, and there were stormy times about the cool resort on the lake. The old southerner mped his feet and s: they should never marry, and the north- ern general kept cool and said if the young folks wanted to marry he didn’t now any reason why they shouldn’t, and as he was in love with the girl too, and would give all he possessed for her as a daughter, he swore that he would se that she was properly eloped with, that old confederate could go further. The old confederate said he would shoot up enough Yankees for a mess if they tried uch wooden nutmeg game on his family, and so they had it until the sum- mer was gone, and—well, you know how it is yourselves. The young people xed, and finally the southern general could do as they pleased, and married, four boys and two girls thy t have come that union of the north and south, Two of the boys have been named after two of the great- est confederate generals, and two have been named after two great northern generals, and several months of th summer you can see thatold confederate grandfather in Wisconsin, the guest of the northern grandfather, playing those six youngsters, and sev months of winter the northern gene is visiting the south to see those chil- dren grow,and it is a grand sight to see the two grandfathers bending over a cradle, looking at the youngest child, and arguing as to what grand men the child resembles. The old fellows are good friends; the southern general thinks his northern son-in-law is one of God's noblemen, and the northern general knows that his beautiful daughter-in-law is the sweetest woman on earth, Ten thousand such weddings between the northern and southern young people would forever silence those who may w ish to see the two sec- tions at enmity. Love Won Again The Gibson, Ga., Enterpr says: In this county are a wnn(i' man and a young lady, who concluded that they were made for each other and should be one. The parents objected on account of their youth,and to break up the match instructed Judge Calhoun, ordi- , not to sell license to them. A d man came to this place and in- quired where the postoffice was, Being shown it, he walked into Whitley’s store and sajd to one of the clerks: ‘I wants ter buy a par er licenses.” - He was told that, although cari ing a good line of morchandise, the firm did not deal in marriage license, and was directed to the ordin- ary. His husinum was soon made known to Judge Calhoun, and with a smile playing about his countenance at the prospect of his fee, the ordinary asked the name of the parties who wished to be united in matrimon y gave the names of the parties whose parents requested Judge Calhoun not to let them have a license, but called them by their given names., Not suspecting who they really were, and thinking they were aegroes, the judge red the license, and placed the abbreviation “Col.” after the name of each of the contracting parties. The darkey de- parted with the licens Armed with the proper authority the young couple hunted uy a justice of the ‘peace, who, having seratched off the terms “Col.” pronounced them man and wife.
