The Denver correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal writes: Persons who fancy Colorado made up entirely of roughs and miners have a surprise in store for them when they visit Denver or its satellites, of which the Springs is the. most celebrated. The most beautiful woman at the Springs was conceded to be the wife of General United States Army. I think her the most perfect specimen of feminine loveliness I have seen in any country lithe, slender, exquisitely molded, graceful carriage, the olive complexion, which we read, but seldom see, large black eyes of mingled languor and fire, shaded by sweeping lashes of intense darkness. Her dancing was the per-tion of grace the poetry of motion.

HOHE AND FOREIGN GOSSIP. New Yobk has a Hebrew population of 50.000, 100 of whom have estates valued at $1,000,000 or upward. A colony of about three hundred families of Pennsylvania are about locating in Arkansas, between Conway and Ozark, on the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad, where land is selling at from three dollars to twelve dollars per acre.1 A Rochester boy escaped from a bigger boy who was whipping him, and ran into a church where services were in progress, supposing he had found a safe refuge. But the pursuer, unaffected the sacredneas of the place, threw the fugitive into a pew and pummeled him until some of the brethren interfered.

While one of these twins was born on the 15th of December, 1876, the other postponed his appearance un'il the 1st of February, 1877.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer, 2eth.

The Rothschild-Moore case grows more and more interesting. For a week past Colonel Johnson and Detective Wappenstein have been searching high up and low down for the missing trunk of the murdered woman, and yesterday they found their prize in the baggage-room of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, to which place it had been sent by Rothschild the day before he shot himself. It was found to be an immense sized sole-leather Saratoga affair, which had been forwarded to this city from Jefferson, Ttxas, via Little Rock, Memphis and St. Louis. The canvas cover had been taken off it, and on one end of it was pasted a piece of brown-colored Manilla paper.

This was washed off with considerable difficulty with the aid of a wet sponge, and then another piece of paper was found affixed to the trunk underneath it. This, too, was removed, and then the name "Annie Moore" was discovered, painted in black letters. The "Annie'' had been partially scratched off, apparently by a knife, but still enough of it remained to render it perfectly legible. It may be stated here that we have learned that the murdered woman's eal maiden name was Annie Moore, and that she changed her patronymic to Bessie when she became a courtesan. In sending the trunk to the railroad baggage-room Rothschild displayed a wonderful amount of cunning, for under ordinary circumstances the trunk, after remaining there without being claimed for a couple of weeks, would have been sent to the old-horse' department, where it would remain a year or so before being sold as unclaimed baggage The officers, after assuring themselves that they had the right trunk, had it conyeyed to the office of the Superintendent of Police, where it was opened.

It was found to contain a large and varied assortment of ladies' wearing apparel. Among it were two splendid light colored silk dresses, one black silk dress trimmed with merino, pair of exquisitely shaped slippers, a silk pincushion with the monogram 4B. embroidered on it, an im mense quantity of underwear, all of the finest quality and most exquisite work manship, several ot tne cnemises were marked There were also found in the trunk a number of toilet articles, and a tin jewel box, but was empty. No letters or papers were in it, however. The police esti mate the value of the trunk's contents all the way from $600 to 1,000.

The trunk and its contents will remain in Col. Wood's office until claimed by some of the dead woman's relatives The finding of the trunk is another damaging proof of Rothschild's guilt, and. bv the way. the evidence against him, though as yet entirely circumstantial, is accumulating: with wonderful swiftness. It has been a subject of wonder to many why Rothschild should have killed the girl.

think, we have found a clew to his motive. On the 10th of January last Rothschild and Bessie Moore arrived at the Jtna House, uan- ville, 111., and registered on its books as Rothschild and lady, New Or leans. They occupied room 52 of the house, which 13 kept by Messrs. Mud bins, White Rich, and that same day Rothschild and Bessie Moore WERE MARRIED bv Sauire McMahan. of Danville.

On A. Rothschild, and she hers, as Bessie Moore. They left Danville the next day. It is probable that Rothschild's object in marrying her was to obtain possession of her diamonds, but hnding that she would not give them up, even to her husband.ihe determm to take her to Texas, where he obtained pos session of the coveted jewels, and rid himself of a wife whom he certainly knew his family would never acknowl edge. night he was resting easy at the Cincinnati Hospital, and his at tendants say that he is convalescing rapidly, and that in the course of a few days he will be able to be up and about.

Dr. O. E. Davis, his physician, was call' and Dr. Pierce has had charge of Lim in his absence.

It is a singular fact that the Baltimore papers have been claim' mg that the murdered woman was a Mrs. John Kirby, of this city, who eloped some weeKs ago witn her brother-in- law, John Ferguson. Some of her friends even went so far as to say that they recognized the clothe described in the circular of the Jefferson Chief of Police as that of the missing Mrs. Kirby. All of which goes to show how people may be mistaken sometimes.

Major Blackburn and Adam Kramer, who have been retained to defend Rothschild, will accompany him to Texas for that purpose. A Mammoth Railway Project. A wonderful railroad scheme is just now being considered, which embraces not only a line from San Francisco through Mexico. Central and South America to Valparaiso and Buenos Ayes, but also one, via Washington Columbia and Alas ka, to a port on Behring Straits, there to connect by ferry with a proposed road to Kamschatka, leding indirectly to all parts of Asia and Europe. It is urged that the South American line would open up States which possesses all the elements of commercial wealth and open a fine field for the expansion of American industry.

The project was submitted at Philadelnhia last summer to the Emperor of Brazil and to nis minister to mis country, as well as to other ministers from the South American John A. Lynch, of Washington, District of Columbia, states that his project was to recom mend to the several States of Central and South America the construction of a line of railroad through their re spective territories, running north and soutn, and so arranged that all, united, would form a continuous line from Mexico to Valparaiso, Buenos Ayres and Rio Janeiro. It is also reported that some of the leading men and cap- lt-alists frnci3C. have taen vigorous hold of. the scheme.

That portion, of the great route (which they say is to connect this conti nent with Asia and Eurocel lvino' within the domains of Russia has already been surveyed and marked out by Russian engineers, under the authority of their Government that is from Moscow, via Orenburg, to Pekin, and a port on the Yellow Sea, in China and via Irkoutsk to Nicholaief, on the Amoor River, and to Mr. Lynch goes ontosiy: For the people of the United States to share all the advantages to be derived from the completion of such an undertaking, it is necessary for them, through their Government, to approach that of Russia, and by treaty lay the foundations for on on to of of of States will construct a railroad from Washington Territory, connecting there i with the Pacific, and through British Columbia aud Alaska to a port tfehring btraits, which is a total length of only about 1,500 miles, there can not be a doubt but that the Russian Government will authorize and encour age the construction ef a railroad from Ockotsk, through Kamschatka to a port their side ol isehnng btraits, thus completing a continuous line of rail road from Valparaiso ana Buenos Ayres all fcurope ana Asia through the United States. How to Explode a Lamp. The Scientific American gives some the circumstances which lead to the explosion of kerosene lamps, the philosophy of all of them being that the flame may pass down the wick and ig nite the vapor which accumulates in the upper portion of the lamp. This vapor is not an explosive as the term is ordinarily understood, but when it is conhned so that the gases resulting from its combustion can not escape freely into the open air, the vessel confining it will be shattered.

This ignition the vapor may be brought about as follows 1. A lamp may be standing on a ta ble or mantel, and a slight puff of air from the open window or door may cause an explosion. 2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from a table or mantel and instantly exploded. 3.

A lamp is taken out into the entry where there is a draft, or out of doors, and an explosion ensues. 4. A lighted lamp is taken up anight stairs, or is raised quickly to place it on the mantel, resulting in an explosion. In these cases the mischief is done by the air movement either by suddenly checking the draft, or forcing air down the chimney against the flame. 5.

Blowing down the chimney to ex tinguish the light is a frequent cause of explosion. 6. Lamp explosions have been caused by using a chimney broken off at the top, or one that has a piece broken out, whereby the draft is variable and the flame unsteady. 7. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts a small wick into a large burner, thus leaving considerable space along the edges of the wick.

An old burner. with its air draft clogged up, which rightfully should be thrown away, is sometimes continued use, and the final result is an explosion. A Woman Sold at Auction. American papers have often com mented upon the fact that in some parts of England women have been sold at public auction during the last century. lesterday the novel sight of a woman being sold under the hammer was witnessed by hundreds of people in front of Currie's auction store.

When it be came known that such a sale wa3 to be made a large crowd gathered to see the woman, and many were wondering if the authorities would allow such a disgraceful scene to go on. At 10:30 the woman was brought out. Her name was unknown, but she was recognized by some of the bystanders as a person who had worked in a millinery estab lishment on Street before the fire, and her character had never been question ed. She seemed perfectly composed in the presence of so large a crowd, and never moved a muscle of hei face as the auctioneer called out for the first bid. She stood in an elevated position.dress- ed in plain muslin, without any special attempt at display.

bhe was a handsome brunette, with regular dark hair and eyes, and a complexion as pure as wax. bhe was finally knock ed down for 8, and, to tho surprise of every body, the bidder was a married man. He says the woman is somewhat dilapidated, but he thinks he can melt down the wax and make her up into tapers from Christmas-trees. She originally cost $800 in New York, the workmanship being of the best, and was for a long time displayed in a Broadway milliner's window before she was shipped to the Comstock. Virgin-ta (Xtv.) Chronicle.

A Historical Tair of Scissors. Among the relies loaned to the Old South Exhibition by the town of Con cord are a pair of scissors, of which the following interesting story is told A young English staff officer was fre quently sent to Concord to the house of Col. James Barrett, on business connected with the Commissary Depart ment, and, while waiting for a reply, would amuse himself by talking loyalty to James Barrett's oldest daughter. Millicent, to hear her rebel replies. He asked her what they should do if it should become necessary for the colo nies to resist, as there was not a person that even knew how to make cartridges.

She replied that they would use their powder-horns and bullets just as they shot bears. "That 'said the young man, would be too barbarous. Give me a piece of pine and I wilt show you how." After whittling the stick to the proper form, he took these scissors and cut the paper for the pattern cartridge. The sequel shows how apt a scholar she was, for all the cartridges were made under her superintendence by the women of Concord, her only male assistant being her younger brother, the late Major James Barrett, who drove the last load of cartridges from the house after the British came in sight, on the 19th of April, 1775. There is also on exhibition a hymn book, which was given by one of the prisoners taken from the British brig Boxer, in the fight with the Enterprise, of Portland, to the Sheriff, who brought him to Bos ton for exchange.

Boston Post. A little girl 12 years old went to a music store, in Worcester, the other day, and bought a piano. Sur prised at seeing 50 bills carelessly nancuea Dy one so young, the proprietor put the police on her track. It was ascertained that ehe had previously purchased a sewing-machine, a gold watch and chain, a chamber set, and a lounge, paying cash in each instance. Her mother had on deposit in one of the savings banks $1,080, ef which the father had no knowledge.

The girl took the deposit book and went to the bank, where she asked for $200. She was told that she must present a written order with the book, and at her request one was prepared. This she took away with her, and subsequently returned with it duly signed and witness- a I ed, when she received the money. Her mother, not being ab'e to read, had made her mark at the girl's request, and the father's name as a witness had been forged. The depravity of this child is simply stupendous.

For grease spots of any kind, benzine gasoline are much used, applied with small spenge or linen rag. lhey do not injure any colors, but they have to be used with a good deal of persever ance or they will spread the spot With in cnti to 1 7 rpmnri or it Ti1rr llQfl eqUai parts of alcohol and ammonia to clean coats and pants and nothing is better. For very nice articles of clota ing chloroform is better than any thing fide it will remove all kinds of grease, paint, or varnish. Magnesia, powder- t-d soapstone, or French chalk are of ten used to remove grease by absorp tion.

To do this spread some over the spot, cover with paper, and set on it a warm flat-iron; repeat the operation until the spot disappears. To remove tar, pitch, varnish, or paint, work the spot up well with a little lard, and then treat as an ordinary grease spot. How to Ponr Tea. There is more to be learned about pouring out tea and coffee than most ladies are willing to believe. If those decoctions are made at the table, which is by far the best way, they renaire ex penence.

ludgment. and exactness: ii they are brought on the table ready made, it still requires iudrment so to app rtion tnem tnat tney snail prove sufficient in quantity for the family party, and that the elder members shall nave the stronger cups. Oftea persons pour out tea who, not being at all aware tbat the first cup is the weakest, nnd that the tea grows stronger as you pro ceed, bestow the poorest cup upon tbe greatest stranger and give the strongest to a very young member of the family who would have been better without anv. Where several cups of equal strength are wanted you should pour a little into each, and then go back, in Ihn n.r aa ana then the strength will be apportioned properly. This is so well un derstood in England that an experienc ed pourer of tea waits till the cups of the company are returned to her before she falls any a second time, tbat all may share alike, ou should learn every one's taste in the matter of sugar and cream, too, in order to suit them in that respect.

Delicacy and neatness may be shown in the manner of bandlimr and rinsing the cups, of helping per sons to sugar, and using tbe cream pot without letting the cream run down from the lip. There are a thousand little niceties which will occur to you, and resolve to do it with the thrift of a good housekeeper, and the ease and digDity of a refined lady. When you have once acquired good habits in this department, it will require less attention, and you will always do it in the best way without thinking much about it. A very happy match once grew out of the admirii felt by a gentleman on seeing a young lady pieside well at the tea-table. Her graceful and dexterous movements there first fixed his attention upon her and led to a further acquaintance.

Housekteper. Black hill Stories. A party cf miners in the Black Hills recently compared eyes and ears over a camp-fire. One said When I was coming to the Hills I looked for Indians until I could see a mosquito a mile away." Another said that his eyes were weak, but he could hear gnats jumping around on the rocks four miles off. The next man had listened for Indians until he heard the mountain-sheep light on their horns in the Big Horn Mountains, 300 miles away.

The fourth, with his head on his pillow, had strained his ears until he heard the Chinese nailing up tea-boxes. The fifth, in crossing the Rocky Mountains, had found a petrified forest the trees turned into solid stone. As he loi ered on the edge, a dear started across the valley and was transformed in a moment into solid stone. A bird flew past him, and, perching upon a tree, began to sing. Suddenly the bird was changed to stone.

The song she was singing was also petrified, hanging down from the beak of the bird a cold, coldstene. Virgihii City (A'itr.) Enterprise. A Barbarous Joke. For some time a clerk in Dr. Gatien's drug store at Sutton, a young man named Bergeron, has been amusing himself by putting explosive chemicals in a mortar and getting the uninitiated to pound them until an explosion took place.

On Thursday of last week he was trying his favorite trick on a young Frenchman namea josepn ixDgie), who Hve3 near Mawcook, whom he fav- ored with a heavier charge than usual. When the explosion occurred the man was knocked over, while the moitar was driven through the counter, seriously damaging it, and bottles acd glassware also suffered. The man was picked up insniible and unable to hear or see, and very fint hopes are entertained cf hM recovery. Sach tricks not be too strongly condemned, and. piobably, an example will be made in this case which may prove a warning others.

Yeretiae i Sold by AU Druggists. an nil UUIHJ IL I Her dress was of white silk, elaborate fashioned her jewels opals and dia monds, that flashed upon her neck in gleams of alternate light and prisoned tire. After expressing my admiration of her matchless loveliness, I was cool ly lniormed she was an Indian girl, a half-breed, her mother having been a full-blooded Cheyenne squaw, and her father a Frenchman. The mother.

chief's daughter, died at the birth of this child, and the father, who had been a prisoner of the tribe, escaped with his Indian baby, to whom he was devotedly attached. She received a good education, many accomplish ments, was the companion of her fa ther in his travels in foreign countries, and at length revisited with him her native land, and journeying westward to the new city of Cheyenne, sought in vain for her birth-place amid the changes of the past twenty years. She has a true daughter's heart, a woman's sympathy and love for her mother's race, which fashion and cultivation can not efface, the birthright given by her dusky-faced young parent. All through the passes ot the mountains, over the plains of Colorado, and Wyoming, this bright young creature has traveled, gathering up scraps of the history of her tribe, preserving their legends and relics. She has hovered in the vicinity of the battle grounds of the frontier, has lingered in fascination about the camp hres, and listened in breath- less silence to the songs and war-cries of her mother's race.

In this wandering search over the West she became acquainted with the officers on our frontier, and was the t- ast of many a gallant fellow who now lies scalped ana murdered by the savage tribes. She had been married but a lew montns to lien, ti ana ap peared in all her bridal splendor at the bprings. Her husband was a handsome soldierly gentleman. iier lather, a small-eyed, venerable man, whose gray mustache was-waxed and whittled to two microscopical points near his ears, danced with the girls, and poured complimentary nothings into their ears. How or by what law of nature he claims the splendid woman, the queen of beau ty, this high-bred, or aristocratic, im petuous creature as his child, I can not understand.

He was so disappointing, she so bewildering; he so silly in his actions, she so regal in her mien. His devotion to his daughter, which was unmistakable, was the one redeeming quality.

Conrad's storerooms, near the post, is the most extensive establishment in the place. It is here that the hunters procure their supplies and deliver most of the hides brought in. Yesterday Mr. Conrad's sales amounted to near $4,000, about 2,500 of which consisted of guns and ammunition, lnere are now said to be 1,500 hunters on the range, and most all of this number receive their supplies from this point; consequently the propriety of keeping such large stocks of ammunition and provisions From Mr. Garrison I learn that he has en route from the prairies 1,200 hides.

A marriage certificate was issued by the County Clerk on Thursday, Febru ary 7, to T. E. L. Logan, aged 22 years, and Minnie Dyer, aged 31 years. Logan is a pock-marked, florid-complex-loned man, who was employed by the Chief of Police during the prevalence of small-pox in the city, to attend to the afflicted at tho pest-honse.

Minnie Myrtle, formerly the wife of Joaquin Miller, is well known in Portland, and needs no description. Suffice it to say she is a woman of culture and intelli gence, with an attractive personnel bhe has a fair reputation as a writer, and contributed several readable arti cles for publication. She was the au thor of fully one-half the poems contained, in the first book written by Joaquin, entitled "Joaquin, et and published by S. J. McCormick, of this city.

Her pathway through life.thus far, has non been strewn with roses. It remains to be seen how she will succeed in the future. Speculation is rife, and the general expression is one of good will. -Portland (Oregon) Standard. In Providence, R.

blue glass is working well. A book-keeper who had been tortured with rheumatism for sev eral years inserted six panes of blue glas in his office windows, exposed his foot, arm, and shoulder to the light, and within 48 hours was cured. An elderly lady, whose left knee, ankle, and foot were swollen to twice their natural size, bathed in blue light, and in three-quarters of an hour the sore- ness ana inflammation aisappearea. An old gentleman whose rieht foot has been useless for a year is slowly recovering behind three mazarine panes. The wife of a prominent manufacturer who has been afflicted with paralysis and unable to walk for three carried down stairs to the parlor and immersed in blue lifht.

In the course of an hour or two the family below were startled by sounds overhead, and on entering the parlor what was their astonishment to find that she had risen from her chair and walked across the floor. Strength had returned to her limbs, she was able to move her arms, and immediately incredulity in the tfficacy of blue glass was banished from that house. Very little color in the attire of the ladies, at present. It is Lent, all in it, or a cisco, Giacomo bporcogambi made a wafirer with Sisnor Nonposso Bevero that he could eat 100 vards more maca roni than the latter. Mr.

The Health and Poliee Committees of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors have just laid out the future Chinese burial ground, a short distance beyond the half-mile track, parallel with Point Lobos Avenue.

E. B. Taylor said, in a recent lecture '0n the Philosophy of Lan guages," at tne ixmaon institution: "Sbould the extraordinary increase of English-speaking people continue at existing ratio, there will in twenty years be 860,000,000 of them, as against of French or German. The English language bids fair to overwhelm all others." The news from India in regard to the famine existing in Bombay and Madras is not cheering. The number of persons now on the relief woiks in Bombay has increased to 337,000, while in Madras it has risen to besides those receiving gratuitous support.

Bengal and Burrnah are exporting large quantitities of grain to the distressed districts. An English factory inspector says that cleaning machinery in motion continues to lead to very numerous and painful mutilations." In the half year ending April, 1876, 126 persons were killed in England by factory accidents, 481 amputations were necessary, there were 260 fractures of limbs or bones, and 2,193 other injuries in all 2,497 males and 709 females. Edward Ivory, a negro in Augusta, put on a white shirt. That was an unusual thins for him to do, and he went to a barroom to display himself thus attired.
