The railroad facilities ot Gunnison are unsurpassed. The Denver it Rio Grande railroad , from Denver and Pueblo , and over Marshall Paas , or the continental divide , to Gnnulaon , and thence to Salt Lakfl and Ogdcn , furnishes an outlet east and weal , and for acenlo beauty the grandest on this continent is saon on this route. Then the South Park , a branch of the Union Pacific , gives another outlet to Denver and the east. The business and patsouger trafllc of the Burlington , and Atchlson , Topeka & Sante Fo rail roads , going west of Denver and Pooblo , contribute to the great ssenlc route of the Denver it Rio Grande road , and add greatly to the traffic of this road.

I now como to TUU CATTLE INTEREST itself. A mailer to which I have given a great dool pf Btudy , aud have formed my conclusions after tunny Interviews and in quiries with BOtno of the oldett and moat succe sful cattle breeders in the west , but of ono thing I was much surprised , and that wsa the almost universal ton- donoy among Iho old practical tock raisers to curt&ll the number of their herd < and to breed bettor cattle , to ktop tbolr cattle more under their own super vision and limit the extent of their ranges , and to feed hay , wherever prac < tlcablej in winter. Imtend of allowing their stock to drift with the winds and roam over hundred of miles of territory , and mixing with everybody else's cattle , dying or wandering off never to be seen again , they are fast adopting the close quarter rule , and , strange to say , they insist that the profits from the latter plan are far greater than the old way. They breed better stock and raise better beef. The death rnto is almost nothing ; the In. crease is fully 30 per cent moro than in the promiscuous herd , and the prlco jrhon they come to market their cattle is far better , The profits from legitimate atock raising In this country are simply Immense , and a comparatively tmall amount Invested In the basliicec , and well managed , usually makes a millionaire In from eight to ton yonrs - IGO acres land controlling a email ranee , and that the owner can Irrigate ao that ho can cntfrom 150 ro 250 tons of hay , with IGO high grade cows and three thoroughbred bulls will become , with good management , a rich man in ton years. In other words the incre&so of his cattle alone will pa ; thirty for ono In ton years , and If his cattle are of high grades and thorough breds , they would bo worth at the end eton ton years at loaat § 200,000 , and the whole original outlay did not oxceei 50,000. The result can bo domonfitratet by the success of hundreds of breeders all over the west. Our people in the last had bettor wake np and got some o these good thlogj before they are "non come-at-able. " TIUVELEH. Who Sovcntoon-Vcar Locusts , L'hiladolphla Ledger. Three strange racmbora of the bug family , commonly known as "aovonteon poor locusts , " wore picked from the leaves of a tree in Washington Square early yoatorday morning and brought to the Public Ledger office , They are SMC bo bo among the first neon In this city [ or Bovoutoou yeara. They are ocarcoly more than hr , f the fiizo'of the white Dodlod cicada , which ia a yearly visitor to the park and eqnares , nnd , unllko It , they are of n roo'dlsh broirn color , with protruding rod eyes. Profunsor Joseph Lcidy , of the Unl- voreity of Pennsylvania , was ohown the Insects later in the diy. They were , ho said , the first ho had seen for a lonp time , though during the morning ho had examined the boughs of the trees at his summer residence at Walllngford , In the vain hope of finding some , knowing this was the year they were oxpoctcd to visit : heao parts , after an absence of seven teen aummors. Placing ono of the inaocts in his hand as fearlessly as it it were a fly , Dr. Leidy , old an Interesting and instructive story of Ua life and habits. "Don't ' make the very common error , " ho began , " of call- ngthem locusts , fnr they are not locusts , Hit cicadas. All the locusts In the world are nothing but grasshopper * , and while grasshoppers will oat every bit of ; roon they can get hold of , all the cica das in the land can't oat a blade of grass , so they are not much to bo feared. John ; ho Baptist while ho was preaching In ; ho wilderness lived , wo are told , on lo- custi and wild honey. This doesn't mean that ho fed on what are commonly called locusts , but the meat waa that of of grasshoppers , which the Digger In dians to thla day esteem a luxury. "Another popular error , " lr. Leidy wont on to say , "la that these cicadas do a great deal of damage to trees , and only recently I heard a learned professor in a scientific lecture tell hla audience > f the ravages of these animals on the > ark of a tree which ho had seen from ho window of a railroad car. The aev- entoon-yeap oicadsa subsist entirely under ho ground , on the julco which they suck rom the roots of trees , aud are as harm- ess as any animal that ever breathed. I mvo never known of a Blnglo case of a terson having been stung by a cicadas , and it ia an Impossibility for them to bite. "Strange to say these cicadas appear n one part of the United SUtea ono year , " said the professor , "and In another > art the following summer , bnt seven- eon years always elapse between their visits to the eamo place. Only last sumner - nor when ] there was not a voatlgo of hem around the city I eaw largo num- > ers in the neighborhood of Spring Lake , tf. J. While the cicadas ara rather carco here nor the Grat warm sunshiny lay wo have will bring them out in car- leat. They came out of the ground , caving holes largo enough to admit your ingors. These 'chimneys' are often two oet In depth , and the young cicadas as cend and decond in thorn until they are nearly mature , when they climb up a tree and throw off their laryal shells. "Thon the male Insects lly around for abaut a fortnight , sounding their 'drums , ' s If to call the attention of their mates jofora they disappear forever.

V/orld'a Dispensary Medical Association , GG3 Mftln Buffalo , N , Y , IN THE BOSTON STYLE , A Seance at Which There Was Lois 01 FIE Mcilluin , Iloportor unrt Spirits Hold n Vnrloy Gftrlamls Another World , Now York Mercury. In the spiritualistic field there are many competitors , and on the basis of a gen eral belief In the communion of spirits with mortals are set up many different shops end modes of manifestation. Miss Mand Lord , a representative of Boston's boat Ideas on the spiritualistic belief , catno to Now York last week to TEACH SOMETHING NEW , being attracted by the Mercury's atten tion to the subject. Mies Lord calls her self "A physical and test medium , " She Is certainly physically , weighing about ono hundred and eighty pounds. Miss Lord does not give materializing seances , end in this her good judgment comes In. Last Thursday evening Miss Lord gave A SEANCE IN A 1'RIVATE 11ESIDENCE on West Forty-third etrcot. It waa n circle of twenty ton ladles and ten gen tlemen , and the Morcnry was among them. Miss Lord , in the formation of the circle , displayed a keen knowledge of human nature , as she WRO scrupulous In placing a gentleman between two ladles , and correspondingly n lady be tween two gentlemen. The circle was formed in the back parlor , and before the lights were turned out , Mlsa Lord stopped into the center and medo a little speech. She said the atmosphere was very closa and heavy , which might interfere with the coming of the spirito. Thnro did not eoem to bo enough elec tricity to vivify the spirits. But with this drawback and the prrsonco of so many strangers she thought there would bo n good circle. A chair } for the medium waa then placed in the center of the circle , the light was turned off and the room became an dark as Erebus. "Novrall join hands , " sild the medi um. Hands wore joined in the darkness and drawn Into each othcra'laps. "Now , " said the medium , "lot come shcptlcplaco his feet against mine eo that ho will know I cannot Icavo the chair. " SOON TIIE SriUIT.S IlEQAN TO AR1UVE. An old doctor made a great time over the troops of spirits that came around him. "They are the spirits of thoao who yon have killed in yonr practice , uomo to hold an Indignation meeting , " observed a sarcastic female voice , and there was a roar of laughter around the circle at the expense of the doctor. "Not sol" ho proteatod , "for they all . " "Thon thanking seem friendly. they are ing you for a good thing in having has tened them over to the spirit land. " A testy old gentleman was then treated to a company of spirits. "This is all very well , " ho said , "but they ought to tell their names. I want some test of that kind. " "I wish I conld glvo you satisfaction , but yon must ba satisfied with what the spirits glvo you , " explained the medium , "They have given mo nothing definite yet. So far It is all guesswork , " retorted the old gentleman , ready to argue the point right there. The good nature of the modinm came to her aid and pre vented a wrangle. Then some person suggested that as the aoanco seemed out of gear , It would bo well to have some singing , as the commingling of voices in unison around the circle would produce harmony and bring the spirits back. A revival hymn was aung , and astho chorus of the lint verso died away , sounds of "smack , smack" "pop aqnoo" arose from several places In the circle. AS THESE SUGGESTIVE SOUNDS came out through the total darknosa a thrill of laughter went all around the band locked or supposed to bo hand- locked circle. Ono male voice , ovl dontly that of one of the guilty oneseaid "Hero they are on my knee , climbing up to kiss me. " The lady on the right of the reporter leant her face over toward tils and said aho waa herself a medium , although she had never given any pnollc seancoa. The reporter leant over IiU Face and said he w&s delighted to have the honor and pleasure of sitting beside a medium. Just then the attention of all was attracted by the crashing of frail wood work and the falling of a chair. This caused quite a commotion and eho sild if the friends on that side would not keep better order she would stop the seance right there. It was explained that i chair had fallen , but why a chair should iavo fallen In a circle where nil the chairs were occupied arid the Bitters1 hands locked in each other was not ex plained. The circle was now in A Sl'IRIT OF ItOISTEUOUS MERRIMENT and every mon squeezed the hands of his right and loft femnle bower by way of cheering on the fun. 'Ilia circle was Drought to order by the appearance of spirit lights moving all around , whiio a ical of thunder outeide evoked the re- nark from the medium. "Taat is good , [ t will lighten the atmosphere and emble ho spirits to more clearly and strongly define themselves , ' The medium then noved her position , going around from vest to east , and placed her feet against hose of a very tall country looking chap n a gray suit , who had with him n eparo 'onng ' woman of some six foot in height , lut the electric current did not got united irtwoen him and the medium , who In- ormod him that ho was too positive , too elf contained and drawn Into himself , 'One foot I can fool , bnt the other oeras to have no fooling whatever , " she omarked. The current appeared to lave been lost , and for some time the orformanco was unsatisfactory. "Ootno up this way. I'm in good lectrlcal condition , and I want to prest ny foot to yours and ask you eoruo quos- Icna , " said the Mercury man to the mo- lum , who seemed to consider the sag- estlou a good ono , for aho passed a gou- loman whcsa name tnruud out to bo 'Ike , " and hurried np to the reporter , 'Ike" protested that ho WANIUn HIS FEET PRESSED o those of the medium. The reporter ese for his rights , Bo had one of the medium's feet all to himself , but found ke's big foot contesting poesseeslon of ho other. The reporter wanted to know f this was n fair deal , and if the presence of an Inharmonious man's foot on the mo- diuin's right ollppor would not spoil the reporter's spirit reception , Tno gond- latnred , jully medium taid , "No , " but gnoml Iko and told the reporter there wore five beautiful spirits around him. Che reporter rttiibutod this to the two very sympathetic ladies between whom 10 sat. "Oh , you are very raedlnmistic foursolf , " the medium cried. "You are a true medium undeveloped. " Jest then he IKl'OUTER'fl FINDERS WERE ORAUBED BY A fal'IRIT iand and other mystorlone hands played atl around his head in careeeing style , , Then a beautiful female form arosa rlghl batwoeu his knees nnd.tho medium cried : "Don't you see her ! How beautiful ! Them she la , right between you and mot" Suddenly a delicious odor of fresh flow ers greeted the reporter's olfactory nerves , "Sho brings yon flowers , " said the medi um , enthusiastically , "And she anys this is for the Horror YOU PLANTED ON HER ORAVE. " The reporter could not recollect that ho had over planted flower * on any lady's Brave , nor was ho out with thn boys on Decoration day. However , the thing was too practically pleasant to disavow. "Can any of thcso spirits toll mo who she Is } " the reporter asked. "No , not just now , " "I thought so. Then I nsk aa a test that Bomo of them do BO , " "Thoy will later on , " explained the median ) , "and there is ono that lately pissed over who Is very anxious to communicate with you. " At this point a roco was slipped into the reporter's lund by some mystorion agency and a spirit voice said : "That 1 from your sister.1 After a pause the medium said : "Yon hnvo a titter here who was not regularly in the family : iot known as ono of your family. YOU WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN. " "Can't ' do it , " replied the reporter , 'A sister not in the family Is too para doxical a problem for mo to solve. Besides sides , my father was a strictly mora man. " The ladles all tittered and some of the men gnflawod. "There wora eight all told In your family , " the medium remarked. "My father owned np to fourteen , and all reg ular , " responded the reporter. "That's a coed showing , " observed an old Rontlomau In the opposite eido of the circlo. THE MEDIUM , THE REPORTER and the spirits hero hold a parley to straighten out the matter. This waa In terrupted by two or three little acrcams from the other aldo of the house. "Hero ahn la on my lap , " cried n male voice. "Oh , ho has hold of mo , " cried a female voice. "She has got hold of my hair now , " chuckled another male voice. "Suchlovityi Is unoeomly on such an caslon and in the dark , " protested the reporter. "la this a variety show or communion with the spirits ? " "You need not tay any such thing , " sharply crlud the female volco which had spoken as above. "Yon need not eay wo are making any variety ehow. Wo nro doing nothing of the kind. " The modi- nmisllc lady at the reporter's right - whispered pered to him that the spirits themselves were fond of fun just the same as mor tal ? , and a spirit hand patted him on the knee , while a spirit volca said , "That's all right. Let them enjoy themselves. ' THE HARMONY , HOWEVER , WAS BROKEN up and the medium led while the circle followed in the singing of "Nearer My God , to Thco. " While the singing was going on a larga bonquot of flowers was mysteriously thrust into the reporter's hand and ho was delightfully fanned by a spirit. The spirits eoomed to hnvo combined to glvo him a good time. The hymn ended , the medium , addressing the reporter , cried out In horror , "A friend of yours has met with a sudden death. It Is cuicidc. " Some of THE LADIES SCREAMED. "Impossible , " declared the reporter. "I have no friend so idiotic as to do any such thing. They would sooner snlcido somebody else than themselves. " "Accident , " whispered a spirit , patting its hand on the reporter's knee. This correction brought relief to the nervous ladies , end the medium passed on. "Your father waa drowned , " oho told a lady. "Oh , dear , how did you know that ! the latter responded. "Yes , " resumed the medium , "and It was from a vessel not ono of our modern bid steamers , bnt a vessel a a well , some sort of u vessel. " Then there was a rousing smack , and the lady exclaimed. "That was my father's kits , I know ! " would know it from all others. " THERE WAS SOME COMMOTION and shDfllint ? of chairs , and something that sounded like the rustic of a silk dress in the disorderly air of the circle , and the modinm observed : "Thero are too many silk dresses In the room. They are non-conductors and militate against the success of the aoanco. Wo will now close. " A m < itch WAS struck , the gas lit and the circle broke up , The aoance lasted from e'ght ' until 'ton o'clock. Miss Lord's performance IB all in total dark ness , and is the jollleat affair of the kind the Mercury investigator has yet partici pated In , but his faith In spirit manifes tations was not established by It.

In Apr ! ? , 1883 , Mr. John MnoMahcn led Miss Mary Lilly to the hymeneal nlUr , from -which the brldo departed to her own homo , where she remained , re fining to consummate the marriage , from which oho was finally released by Jndgo Brown , who granted her a divorce with the right to roeumo hot maiden name. The cause of this strange action on the part of Miss Lilly was not owing to any misconduct on the part of the groom or refusal on hla part to provide for her support , bat bocansoof her decided and deep-rooted projudlco against boarding- houaoo. Bofoto consenting to become Mrs Mao- Mahou the fair Lilly hud erected a premise - iso from her lover to commence house keeping Immediately on the conclusion of the marrlngo ceremony , bat Mnc , as his male companions call him , was a jolly dog unu would hnvo promised her , with cqnal roDBons , n slice of the moon if aho had requested It. Mary Lily loved Mao fondly , but know ing 88 she did the misery-producing cap acity of the average Galena boarding house , she heroically resolved to surren der her heart's tondorcst emotions rather than shipwreck her happiness In trying to "wrastlo" with the othcroal bill of faro of a fashionable boarding housg. The bride had not Intietod before the ceremony upon eooing the "homo" to which John hud promised to lead her , because ho had allayed her tiuplcions by vaguely hinting at a nlco surprleo ho had in store for lib tootaey-wootscy ; s ? , alter the minister had pronounced the magic words which in ado the twain one , Mary said to her beloved : "John , dear , I am just dying to ECO our now homo. Come , lot ua go there at onco. " Drawing her tenderly to his manly breast , John communicated to her the paralyzing intelligence that their "homo" for the present would bo the third story of Mas , Bangle's boarding houso. "Ho , John' " replied Mary. "You may go to Mrs. Bangle's and enjoy yourself - self If yon like It , but no boardlnghonao for mo " "Just coma for a little while , darling , " appealed the nowly-mado groom , "and wo will go to housekeeping as anon aa wo can find a sultablo location , " "No , Tohn ; you have docolvod me once and I will not trust you again.

" "I shall return to my miserable boardinghouse - ing-houso from which I had fondly hoped my marriage would release mo , and when yon have provided a homo , as you prom ised , come and see mo.
