Uxqubstioxably, a great disaster
has fallen upon the people of the east
ern half of Cass county, we had just
passed through a long hard winter of
unusual severity, followed by a back
ward, cold, wet spring, which hhd ren
dered it extremely problematical as to
whether our farmers would succeed in
raising a corn crop or not; the long;
severe winter, and the back ward spring
had about exhausted the resources of
the average farmer, especially the rent
ers who had expenle led all he had ii
living through the winter, an l planting
and tending his crop.
Yesterday forenoon witnessed its
complete destruction, and the result
is, our people living within the scope
of territory embraced in the track of
this storm, will have to address them
selves to the ta3k of getting along and
making a living until another sum
mer. It is UK-less to moralize over this or
like disasters. The courage and forti
tude of our citizens, when tested with
calamities like this one, always proves
equal to the emergencies of the occa
sion, aud all we can do, is to "pick our
flint and try it agaiu.
BLUE RUIN.
The worst hail storm in the history
of Cass county visited us yesterday
morning, between the hours of ten and
eleven o'clock. Information received
last evening from eighteen miles south
of Plattsmouth und ten milc3 west
making n strip of territory north and
south through the county, at least,
from eight to ten miles in width,
shows a total destruction 1" everything
in the shape of crops corn, wheat, bar
ley, rye, oats grasses, fruit and young
timber, everything destroyed aad with
this destruction we K-arn manv farm-er-3
lost heavily in ho an 1 poultry ; j
evea the birds and wild g.ime was de
stroyed iu large quantities.
It is impossible to estimate the dam
age to Cass count v, but It is safe to say
a half million dollars would not cover
the los.
COLORADO CORRESPONDENCE.
Dexvek, Colo., July 11, i883.
A pretty excursion for a short one,
is that from this city to that pictur
esque spot where Manitou nestles
among the foothills at the base of
Pike's Peak The ride from this city
is a charming one, going through a
country slightly undulating and rich
with native growth, thriving villages
and an occasional glimpse of some lit
tle lake reflecting the blue sky, varying
the monotony of the scene. As we get
nearer our destination, the mo untains
which guard one side of the way,- and
show the limits of the great plains,
grow more and more distinct iu their
rugged outlines and show by our near
er approach that what at a distance
looks like an irregular wall of smooth
blue, becomes a rough, rocky, impassa
ble mass of rocks, varying in all the
shades of dark red aud gray, with
patches of jet black and, snowy white,
the whole intermingled with a glorious
ombination of brilliantly colored wild
flower?; among the green of pines and
spruce. As we get very close o the
city, the winding load looks though
going to run into some mountain, but
at just the critical moment, curves
around and we find ourselves htill in
the vallej', among the foothills which
rise upon every Laud and which would
seem like mountains of goodly height,
only that beyond rise tho more gigantic
proportions of the rugged heights.
Manitou is a lovely city, lis principal
street runs an irregular -our: up a
riling ground and is flanked upon ei
ther bide by liouses, fauciiully built
and grotesquely painted. Ever and
anon we come to soiihj bubbling spring
its "waters for the healing of the na
tions," gurgling over its rocky bed and
deposited in some rustic lookiug jvil -ion,
erected by the t isfcaful h nd of
man tor bathiog or drinking purposes.
1 ne vicinity is full l the oiot roman
tic walks and drives, to n uhh-ious to
be fully described in u k-tWr like this,
and too lovely to bo realized by any
thing but experience.
There are thousands of pretty spots
whirl) can be reiichfd by a Fhort walk,
and many which well repay tlin timo
and expense of a drive. One of these
is that to "Rainbow Falls." The dri ve
to these falls is up the old Leadvil
trail, by which all passengers used to be
conveyed to that city when it was only
a mining camp, before the railroad was
built to that thriving city. The trail
is narrow, many places in it only al
lowing the, passage of a single carriage.
Along the sides of the roads rise the
crags, the rough, uneven rocks bein
partially concealed by a wealth 01 the
grass and the foliage f the hardy
trees which find room in very scanty
sou. Soon after startiug, upon ihe
right of the trail, the ear is caught by
the sound of rushing waters and the
eye sees the Minnehaha Springs as it
flows rapidly along over its rough bed,
its waters torn into lacy foam as it
leaps over and curls around the jointed
rocks which vainly strive- to stop its
course. The way gradually rises and
every moment brings a fresh scene of
wild natural beauty, and the air get
ting constantly QUi.' exhilarating, com
ing from the rud'- 1 1030m of the moun
tains, and made odorous ever and nuon
by a breath of pinev fragrance uf the
heart inseuce of the mountain (lowers.
Dropping in huge- volume b?5 woen the
rough-hewed rcou-itaui wdl the
Rainbow Falls fi"! a deep, r K.y basin,
and rushes along with impetuous forcr
among a confusion of broken rocks
with a noisy announcement of ts com
ing. Slowiy climbing over the dabris
of Xature, the beholder approaches
within a few feet of the spot where
the water strikes, from its journey
above, and with the cool spray sweep
ing the face with a feeling of delight
ful coolness, gazing at the falling water
while the golden sunshine falls over-
head the prismatic colors of the rain- i
bow burst upon the vision. Standing j ln a r,mmullit-v H:i 'es as Plaits

Another pielty drive or walk h: ili.u
to the Ute Iron JspiingH, over t b..- "i i
Pike's Peak trail and passing the-il-Mi-hattan

large as the It liubovv Falls, bu". it is a
very pretty cascade. Its waters fall
into a pool of small circumference, the
dark surface of which gives no hint
that its thirty fe t deep. Ihe scen
ery along this trail ii a picture of vs.: y- j
ing beauty and the path leads up grad- J
ua'dy to a considerable altitude. The
mountain?, so lovely at a distance, g-row ;
more grand as v,c get into their mi Jst, ,
and show the deep wrinkles and fur- j
rows upon their aged faces, more plainly ;
a3 acquaintance gets more close, j
The rocks show more variety in color i
and formation, aud the many-shades
given upon the mountain side show
ever and anon a silver thread of some
tiDy brook,, too minute in the great,
catalogue of beauty to ever get more
than a passing notice, out loveiy oj ;

The clouds, which viewed from the ;
flat plains or from the common city
street, seem only patches of white upon
the eky'a blue, assume new interest and j
added beauty clinging to the loity
peak, cut into shreds of film by the
ragged heights or rolling along like
hugs volumes of smcRc across me
mountain side, above its green base and
below its summit of blue or crest of
glistening snow.
In my next letter I will give a brief de
scription of the " Garden of the Gods:"
one of the most interesting of the ma
ny points of interest in the vicinity of ;
Manitou. Now for something more
common-place in the line of news from
the Centennial State.
Next Tuesday, the Exposition will
open to the great public, and the active
career of the enterprise for 1883 will
lerin. The formal openiug this year
i
will be of a very simple nature. There
will be no procession, as there was a
year ago. The members cf.the Stale
and city governments will be conveyed
to the building in carriages, and the
music will be furnished by the baud of
Collander's Minstrels, who will piny an
engagement here during the week. An
address will be made by Governor
Grant, and also by Mayor Routt, and
the oration will be delivered by Senu -tor
Warner Miller, of New York, who
will be introduced bj' ex-Senator II. A.
W. Tabor. The religions portion of
the programme will be conducted by
clergymen of this city. The building
has been open for the reception of ex
hibits siuce the first of the month, und
the building now picsen's a buy scene
of preparation. Car loads of ore and
other articles of display are arriving
daily, and the commissioners arc flying
about u ranging displays, looking al ter
dcc-: a. ions, and talking all the tine.
The ore display will excel that ever
made at any exhibition in the world.
Among the recent additions is that of
the Richmond and Danville Rail
road Company, which has one of the
tiuest private collections of mineral
and geological specimens in the coun
try, and which v id be shown in an ele
g.ml cabinet especially built for the
purpose. The Art Department is grow
ing in the magnitude of its specimens
of the artistic genius of the country,
and the gallery for this display is being
made a lovely spot. Among other cu
ri oi ties, the old Xova Scotia locomo
tive, which attracted so much attention
at the Chicago Exposition, and the first
locomotive which entered that city iu
its early days, will stand out prominent
ly. The Union Pacific Railway has sent
four car loads of specimens, and its ex
hibit will loom grandly. The Horticul
tural Society will make a special fea
ture of the display of the flora of va
rious localities of the West, and moun
tain grasses and wild flowers.
The Grand Army Camp is now about
ready for the " boyp," and will be tully
prepared before their arrival. Ten
thousand tents for the camp arrived
yesterday. The amount of food re
quired for the subsistence of the men
will be enormous. A faint idea of tho
whole may be gained from the figures
in tlic list of stores to be furnished.
Fifty thousand pounds of beef, 10,000
of ham, 1,000 pounds of mess pork, 40,
000 loaves of fresh bread, 20.000 pound j
