" A YEKV touching story of apprecia
tion of a dog's usefulness and grati
tude for his services conies from New
Mexico. A man who got lost in tire
mountains and found starvation star
ing himself and his faithful dog in
the face , cut off the dog's tail and ate
it , and beino ; a humane man he
* O
thoughtfully gave the dog the bone.
Louo CoLEuinoi : is delighting his
English friends -with stories of his
American visit , and amonc : them with
* Cj
this. Ho was at Mount Version with
Mr. Evarls and , talking about Wash
ington , said : UI have heard that he
was a very strong maji physically ,
and that , standing on the lawn here ,
he could throw a dollar rio-lit across
O
the river on to the other bank. " Mr.
Evarts paused a moment to measure
the breadth of the river with his eye.
It seemed rather a "tall" story , but it
was not for him to belittle the father
of the country in the eyes of a foreign
er.'Don't you believe it ? " asked
Lord Coleridge. "Yes , " Mr. Evarts
replied , "I think it's very likely to be
true. You know a dollar would go
farther in those days than it does now. "
RKJEAEKIXG on the analysis which
disclosed the presence of a large per
centage of fusel oil in the so-called
"rock and rye" candy , the Brooklyn
Eagle says : "It may be of interest
to parents as well as our temperance
agitators to know that the nervous
derangements of dipsomaniacs are dis
tinctly traceable to the effects of the
fusel oil in their potations , and that it
is from the ingredient that the medi
cal faculty meets with the greatest
difficulty in restoring tone to the shat
tered system. One of its effects is to
produce that appetite for strong drink ,
which in the majority of cases of
chronic intemperance defies cure.
The candy seller , therefore , is not
only guilty of sellingan acute poison
tcxvchilclren , but of the crime of per
verting their moral nature and invit
ing the evils that follow in the train
of drunkenness. "
Tin ; following dispatch , sent to
Col. D. C. Dodge , general manager
of the Denver and Rio- Grande rail
way , last Monday , and received by
that gentleman while out on the line ,
is about as brief and pointed as any
communication of this character could
be :
You arc hereby discharged from service
the employ of the Denver and llio' Grande
railway company.
F. LOVEJOY , President.
153- order of the board of directors.
There is considerable music in
Colorado railway atmosphere at the
present time. The annual meeting
of the stockholders will occur on the
7th inst. , at which time Mr. Lovejoy
will either be sustained in this ac
tion or respectfully requested to re
sign. The chances are his summary
dismissal of Col. Dodo-e will be ap-
O * 1
proved. Col. Dodge represents the
Palmer interest in the "Baby Road. "
This faction received a very black eye
last year when Gen. Palmer was com
pelled to resign. The stockholders
seem to be determined that all Gen.
Palmer's friends shall also walk out
of the service of the company. Re
publican.

BENKELMAN.
Our business men feel jubilant over
the business prospects , after so long
and dull a winter. Business is looking
up and increasing rapidly.
Our town has been quiet , this week ,
and we voice the sentiment of Bcnkcl-
man's best citizens when we state that
we hope the days of ruffianism arc past.
There arc several sheep herds in this
vicinity , which have become thin du
ring the long and severe winter. There
is considerable scab existing among
them , but losses haven't been great , as
sheepmen have made complete prepara
tions for them.
We have had a heavy snow storm ,
this week , and stock suffered worse
than during any storm tins winter , owing
to their being so poor. There has been
considerable loss in young calves. But
now the weather has turned fine , grass
is growing nicely , and I think all dan
ger of loss is over.
