REMINISCENCES.

The

The days of Pandemonium: oldest settlers of Colorado are fast passing away, but the memory of the good old days will go on forever. Life in Colorado in 1859 and 1860 was a delirium of romance. No words can describe the scenes that were enacted during that wild chaotic period. Thousands of men, organized in bands or wholy disorganized, were constantly arriving from every part of the world and leaving for the diggings. Outlaws and professional gamblers opened saloons by the score at every polut where men congregated. Money was scattered everywhere as if by the wind. Miners who had realized fortunes in a few months came down to Denver to squander them in a night at the gambling tables. Scarcely a woman was anywhere to be seen. All restraining influences of society were absent, and we cannot find an expression better suited to the case than Pandemonium on a frolic."

IN LORD SALISBURY'S DISPATCH of February 21st he makes the declarathen that it is now quite clear that the aivisers of the President do not claim Bering sea as a mare clausum, and, indeed, repudiate that contention in express terms. Mr. Blaine says: "Lord "Lord Salisbury reasserts his contenSalisbury's expression is in a form to tion that the words 'Pa ific ocean' at mply that the United States has the time of the treaty between Russia hitherto been setting its contention and Great Britain di include Bering upon the fact that Bering sea was a sea, in the same sense that the Atlantic mare clausum.

The Christian missiouary was already on the ground and good parson Dyer managed to find a place where he could preach on Sunday. One of the first men who arrived with his family came to one of these meetings attended by his wife and baby. During the sermon it chanced that the baby cried and the mother was abou to withdraw, when the preacher addressed her thus: "My good woman, I beg you to remain; the innocent sound of that infant's voice is more eloquent than any words I can command. It speaks to the hearts of men whose wives and children are far away, looking and praying for a safe return of the loved ones at home." The infant's cry seemed to them like the music of angels.

It is not at all strange that the Apache Indians, whose only God is nature and who attach reverential significance to every peculiar or unusual work of creation, should regard singing springs with superstitious awe and avoid that delightful spot, for such is in perfect accord with the history of that rapidly declining race. Neither is it surprising, when the character of the surroundings are considered, that it should be associated, in their unwritten mythology, with a story of love.

There was some mystery connected with his coming west that his best friends were never able to fathom. He was evidently driven away from home by a deep grief which he would never explain. His most memorable bear fight took place in Middle park in 1872. He started out one morning with his gun and revolver, and a big knife which he always carried. When he got about a mile from camp he passed around the roots of a large tree which had fallen to the earth. As he passed around the tree, Jim stepped right into a nest of cinnamon bears. He was so close to them he couldn't shoot, and only discharged one shot from his revolver, but with his big knife he killed all three.

Two hours later some of the boys from the camp found him lying unconscious among the three dead bears, one of which lay across his legs. Jim had

Where the birds are used in one direction about 200 are maintained, 150 for each direction after the first, so that where three courses are covered there are 500 pigeons.
