COLORADO AK& LEADVILLE. M dold. KUIver, ami ItulIIon. A Trip Went. Lincoln Juuni.il. Everybody troiujj to Colorado must go to Denver. The city of Denver is not Colorado, entirely ; but Colorado would be very incom plete without Denver. Gold-seekers go to Denver and make that tnerr starling or outfitting poiut for the iniurs. I.EADVILI.E, or the old "California Gulch," is just I now the objective point for every ! fortune hunter. Years ago, when ( the great gold excitement of Colo , rado tilled the whole country, I "California Gulch" was one df the I best paying diggings in the Moun I tains. Leadvillc was unknown by 1 that name, but Leadvillc was more i numerous then than now. ' To-d&y "California Gulch' i6 un- heard of; the pay dirt Ironi the 1 creek is all worked; for years the great mining camp has been deecrtcd but presto change, the rock is found . rich in silver, and tens of thousands of people must needs start for the Leadvillc, the old ground named. A FltAUD, a 6narc, and a delusion that is Leadvillc. Xot but what there arc some rich quartz ruiucs there, but it takes a small fortune to open and work a ven a small quartz lode. Thero is a fortune for a lucky few who have possession of all the claims that arc worth anything; but the great mass of people who go there, and who have gone there, will never eco the inside of a silver mine, un less they go to work for day's wages, and arc thereby enabled to earn their living. BOAUD AT LEADYII.LE. It costs about two dollars and a half a day for very common board, and plenty of men are willing to work for their board, if they can only get a job. This docs not in clude cofl'ec for each meal, as that costs fifteen cents extra. Neither does it include hot cakes, for they cost twenty-five cents extra. A beef steak is out of tho question, as that is seventy-five cents extra. NOTHING TO DO. , Thousands of men-have gone to Colorado this spring that can not possibly find employment enough to keep them from starving. They ! will have to get money from home before they can go forward or return. "Vc caution everybody who reads the Journal, don't go to Colorado expecting to gel rich in the mines. ' HOW TO GO. I If you want to hunt gold or silver be sure that you start right. Cal culate tho cost and go prepared to make or burst. , You must go prepared to hunt the mountains over all summer. You must not go where the crowd goes, for there everything is taken. You must take money enough with you to furnish all things needful for a summer's prospecting. I A BIG THING. If you find a good paying lode, you have bought the winning ticket in the biggest lottery in the world. If you don't get a good mine of (Cither gold or silver you're burs ted, for you have nothing. No half-way business, no "making expenses" and searching for gold mines. If 3'ou want to go and invest a fortune in buying a miue,and anoth er one in getting it to running, then 'go by all means, to Colorado, for ijthcrc they will sell you mines worth to millions. have met hundreds of men going to Leadvillc. "We have met tribute their mites towards the ( ource of prosperity ? GO FOR PLEASURE. If you want to go to Colorado, go for pleasure. Then you will get your money's worth. Then you will come back happy and satisfied. How to go, when to go, and what to see will be outlined in the next from Gad. lVnftKYlIIc LUcrnry. If the following address delivered by John Eusden on the occasion of the last season meeting of the "Watts- villc Literary Society shall be in the least instiumental in furthering the organization of similar societies, the object of its publication will have been accomplished. En. Journal. Jlr. President, Ladles and Gen tlemen: Our 'Literaries" arc about to close with this eveniug's enter tainment; that they have been a success must be very gratifying to the promoters of them. In taking a review of those meetings permit me to remark, that tbey have been second to none, and in the opinion of many, superior even to the Co lumbus society. Occasionally we have regretted that the young men of our commu nity have not availed themselves of the opportunity a Horded them of improvement, which was the pri mary object of this series of meet ings. Again, we have regretted that we could not furnish sittings for the audience, although we boast of hav ing the largest precinct school in Platte county. Our pleasures have been great, and surely uone greater could be named Hum the sight ol the many very happy looking faces so closely packed, the eager eye and anxious car wailing ou the debate or listening to the amusing decla mation, the laughable dialogue, or genial song. Praise is due to all, for the will ingness put forth throughout the meetings, and especially would we name those from a distence, who have upon so many occasions as sisted us iu our exercises, not for getting that social buirgy with its fiuence you to purchase of men whose trustworthiness you have the least reason to doubt. A penny thus saved at the time of purchase will oftimes be fouud to be many doMars years hence. I have at least 40,000 fruit trees and fail to find one damaged by our cold winters, and no protection either. ."While much of it promises a bountiful reward this year, peach es, grapes, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries arc all right. I close with a word of advice, Set fruit this vcar, and cultivate it well. Polk Co., JVc&r. k. Get the Standard. "TAe best authority. . .

Vernon, Ale. Her grandmother sold a piece of property in London, N. II., for $000 iu United States notes. After keep ing the tfOOO some time, she bought six yards of print for a dress, and paid in said currency $100 per yard, it taking all of her $C00 to buy said dress. When she sold the house, currency was somewhat depreciated but not much. When she bought the six yards $1 in silver or gold would have bought one yard, but in currency $100 per yard was paid. The old lady has been dead thirty years, but the calico outlasts her. a niroiu-Ve i uunurcus coming oacK. GOING. They went out with bright, hope ful faces, with money iu their pock- jcts, with blankets, provisions, arpct-sacks, and revolvers. They came back discouraged, moneyless, provisions crone. carnet-Misks "ono. blankets gone, revolvers gone, and in many cases overcoats sold for ifood. COMING RACK. They came back afoot, whereas jthcy rode out of Denver in 6lyle. jThe railroad train was too slow in bringing them out, but will be slower taking them back home, un less they raise tho necessary fare. One man out of every ten thousand may make a fortune in the mines this season ; the other niuc thousand orine hundred and ninetv and nine trill mflkf n fi.iltirn i" .""": ""- , . .. I iuc xcnvcr papers are uoiugall thcy can to stop the wild, insane rush for Leadvillc, but the great American nation has heard of the five or six men who "struck it big," snd it seems as if the whole Ameri can people must visit Colorado and see if they cannot aleo pick up a fortune for nothing. i THE RAILROADS are doing a rushing business.

" . seasonwie iramps ana dead heats who will Hue the railroad track will all ! "be homeward bound. The hotels arc crowded from cellar to attic. welling houses in Denver are as scarce as they are iu Lincoln. Fur- mished rooms command a premium. Outfitting houses arc doing an im mense business. Foundries and ma chine shops cannot turn out the iwork fast enough for the mines. Leadvillc has certainly been a mine of wealth to Denver and to the whole State of Colorado, but how is t with the poor devils who cou- gcuial freight ''from over the hills from Postville," through cold and snow, bleak winds and darkness, their only guide the long ears of the mules in advance, their only comfort the warmth of their capa cious hearts, all aglow with friend ship's happy fire. We all waut to be happy. Iu youth wc look for ward to the future. The davs. the months slip away, and wc find our selves living common, prosy lives. The most critical as well as bitterest moments of existence are when the burdens of life fall consciously on the careless, happy heart of youth, merrily dancing down the long path of life. Suddenly, we know how few pcopbifeel happy; how every middle-aged face bears deep wrin kles, and that the light and sparkle has fade-out of the ecs. If, dur ing this series of meetings wc have but removed one wrinkle of care, brought happiucss again but to one heart, brought again the sparkle to eyes dimmed with the burdens of life, the end has been answered, and and all assisting in our "Literaries" arc happy. The exercises of this evening will now commence, and wo trust the remembrance of those meetings will live in your memories, and bring forth a fruitful harvest, rich in our love to each other, cementing us all in one compact body until, (God willing) next fall we may emerge from our chrysalis state with fresh life and increased vigor, to again maintain our position as foremost ami best of all literary societies in Platte countv. "Now then, state your case," &aid a Detroit lawyer the other day, as he put i $5 bill away iu his vest pocket. ""Well," began his client, "suppose the man living next door want's to put a barn up right against my line, coming within two feet of my house?" "lie can't do it, sir, can't do any such thing," replied the law yer. "But I want to put my barn right up against his line," remarked the client. "Oh! ah yes, I sec.

Journal: Tell your readers thai this is the time to unkc up their minds more fully to determine what they want iu hardy fruit?, and then hitch up their wagons, go to the nearest nursery and get what they waut. 2evcr stand and listen for a mo ment to those oily tongues and unreliable agents that overrun new countries and sell seedless peaches and leather pears as big as a young pumpkin kept iu jars of water for I affirm such has been the case. Neither will it do to buy eastern grown fruit trees, for in the first place the varieties which do well there will not do well here. Our soil is strongly itngrcguatcd with alkali aud other mineral substances that are not found iu the clay banks of Ohio, for instance. Last and not least, the climate is very different. The Baldwin iu N. Y. is a splendid apple; in Michigan it is almost an entirely different apple, while it will not do here at all. Agents, as a rule, will sell just what is wauted near their nurseries. This does not include all, for our friends over in Iowa have done the right thing in this county, and have douc great good. I predict, however, that next year we will hear the usual wail go up that this is not a fruit country.when the truth is that wc have about twenty -five different varieties of apples and crabs that will staud any degree of cold that might overcome to the country, and the same may be said of our adapted peaches, and so on throughout the catalogue of northern and western fruits.
