Why should >1 be left at the mercy of the first prowling vagabond? There roust be some reason —sonic history connected with it. I felt a creeping in my veins, and then I ro- 1 meniliered, with a shock, that there was no lock on the door. Then I recollected . the clothing up stairs. Was it possible that any sane man would leave his prop erty unprotected in such a fashion? Perhaps the house was haunted. I had Unto This Day. If one loves a half hour of quirg qptd- itation, a withdrawal from tne pomps, and vanities of life, an awakening of the higher thoughts, he should visit tRe great picture of Mdnkacsy, “Christ Kpfare Pilato.” Every face and figure is tin pas sive, the rabble thirsting for • Imnian life, the military, sympathetic woman, the scheming, vindictive high priests, the stern and pitiless Pontius Pilate. Jesus of Nazareth, friendless, forsaken a supreme dignity in his attitude, a di vine resignation u|xm his noble brow. Wo see at the first glance that it is . , , . i ,, . ...... | useless to hope for justice or mercy from laughed at such things but the idea ap- tUat t r i!, lma f, and this feeling increases palled me now. Then by a natural tran- 1 j n lutensitv the longer We gaze into tlie sit ion it occurred to my mind that some horrible crime might have been cotn- It is no disgrace for a prospector to be poor, to have no bed except the blanket on his back, no friendly boarding house where his credit is good, no fortune favored comrade to lend him a helping hand and $5, It carries no suggestion ol dissipation, wild oats, or extravagance, and implies nothing worse than a run of bad luck. So I may say without shame that in the fall of ’80 I was broke. Star tistics show that one out of every 750 prospectors strike “it” I occupied a prominent position among the 740. Like many a better man, my claims had panned out badly, and my assays never climbed above two figures. I had pur- sued the silver ignis fatuus all over the Red Cliff district until my shoes were dropping off, and acquired nothing ex cept a stone bruise on each heel. Any one who has ever ffcx>d by a gambling table recollects the man who first loses a quarter, more in jest than anything else; then a dollar, then flushes and nervously pulls out a hill; then sits down and loses everything in a desperate effort to get even. TTiat is the prospector on a small scale. He plays at the faro table of fate and loses health, home, years, strength—every thing except hope, and all the while smiling at his dreams, until death takes the chips out of his fingers and closes up the game. I had mad • pretty fair progress on this road. I niitted there. One thought that sprang out of nothingness and laid hold of me wiili sickening iteration was that a dead man was under the bed in a back room, and by some curious process that we have ail experienced, but nobody can ex plain, I was aware that Dixon also was awake and frightened. Finally he spoke up: “I feel wakeful," he said. “I believe IT1 take a turn outside.” Meantime the moon had risen and Hooded everything with a white glare. I got up and leaned against the open door, while he, lighting his pipe, began to pace the slope. At last he turned and glanced toward the front of the house. The moon fell full on his face, and, on the instant, lit up such a look of inhu man terror as 1 have never seen before and trust I may never see again. He stopped not a second, but ran, ran with all the clumsy fleetness of abject fear, hard, cruel faces surrounding the Christ. Away with him, condemned l>efore lie is heard bv that voice of the people which is not tfie voice of God. Sublime sacri fice for an unworthv world! As wo leave this wonderful picture, looking backward a^ain and again, and find our selves by tlio closing of a door trans planted from the First to the Nineteenth century, we«re haunted by a conscious ness that the spirit of the crucifixion has come down with us through all these centuries. There is not a year, there is scarcely a day, but that some innocent soul is hounded to the death by the voice of the people. Circumstances furnish the vic tim, public opinion usurps the place of judge, accuser and witnesses, the thoughtless people take up the cry, “Away with him," the cr<j»a Is laid upon his shoulders, it is finished, and the mul titude goes its way. This is the fact to bo remembered, that the spirit of per secution still lives; that by our careless words, our lack of sympathy, our blind adoption of current ideas, our failure to 8i>cak out bodly for the right, we en- Call For Bids.

His namo was Joe Dixon. A gentleman in Golden had “grub staked" us—giving us enough provisions to Kail for three months—with the un derstanding that he was to have a third of any discoveries. We discovered nothing, and devoured the provisions down to tho last bean in the last can. Our elbows were sticking out of our sleeves, a quarter of a year’s beard bris- tlcd on our chins, and we had not a five cent piece between us. This was exactly the state of our affairs when we came in sight of Leadville on our return. Wo approached the camp from the southwest, and it was evening when we paused on the foothills, a mile or so' away, looked down on the glimmering lights and held a council of war. Neither of us was acquainted in the place, and, although we hail some hopes of finding friends in the daytime, tho prospects of spending tho night in a strange town were unpleasant.

Lettered over the door was the simple legend: LAKE COUNTY SMALLPOX HOSPITAL, London's Growth of Population. When the population 1801 was under 0,000,000 that was 958,883. The capital and the king dom have grown together, but the for mer lias always grown faster, so that while England (including London) mounted from nearly 9,000,000 in 1801 to nearly 20.000,000 in 1881, London grew from 958,803 to 3,810,483 in 1881. G n- don more than quadrupled its people, while England (including liondon) did not quite triple it; England (excluding London) advanced in a still smaller pro portion, and it will be seen 1'iut England, headed leader of that fashion which all men dream of, but scarcely hope to nee established. These are the comments he got: “My wife says she must be fast.” “ 'She looks like a baboon,’ my girl • My companion says, ‘If she wants to attract attention so badly, why doc; n't she weal trousers, like Dr Mary Walker?’ ” ••She's got pretty hair; that's why she does it.” • Well, she must want to make a show of herst If.’’ • Deep in tin ir hearts every woman in the house envies her her pluck for com ing l.i \J:at way. for it's right, and if only s.ome swells would do it wc would all bo glad to leave »>ur huts off.” The u'.tercr of this sentiment, so dia metrically opposite to all the others, was the wife of r. n the theatre goer iicura uns, no ions the publisher over to the hotel across the way and said, "l want to drink your health.

The air was rather stifling, from all the windows being down, and the .dust on the sills indicated that they liad not been raised for some time. We lit the lamp, and to make sur( that there had been no recent occupancy of the place, went up stairs. Here were two bedrooms and a sitting room, all well furnished, and in one of the bed rooms hung a quantity of excellent clothing. The windows of this floor were also down, and everything was as silent and lonesome as the grave.
