There is some extremel cold. weather usually in January, but it only makes one ,appre- ciate the fine. more keenly. October, November. and December are really en- joyable months in this peculiar region, as .a .general •thing. After February, wind and snow storms are to be expec- ted, with a reasonable amount of cer- tainty, daily.

There is a wretched apology for rural school about every twelve- miles, kept open in the winter, as a rule. There isn't a public library in the State that I have heard of, unless it be in Denver. There is as good as no Siinday. The harder classes of labor are suspended. on that day, it is true, only, as it proves, that the saloon and the gaming tables may secure the greater patronage. • The former and many others pay precious little attention to the sacred chariacter of the Sabbath. Three-fourths of the population never enter a church. There are no public amusements worthy the name. When a fourth -rate itinerant affair does accid.entally find its way here, a dollar a seat renders the play not. worth the candle to most people. Misses Kellogg and Carey got to Denver last winter. They are al- ways good, but five dollars a single ticket and. ten cents a mile railway fare, with hotel -rates to match, induce numbers to refrain from attending, especially those residing at a distance. Public morals are at a pretty low point, and. profanity and obscenity seem almost as if they were indigenous to the soil. or climate. To lie and. cheat clev- erly are accomplishments in the opin- ion of all but a worthy and honorable few.

The impression prevails that all whites in Memphis will be attacked. If the fever makes as great drafts on -the working organizations during the coming ten days as it has the past ten days, nobody will be left to direct the efforts of nurses and the distribution of supplies. The doctors, nurses, Joinder - takers and even grave diggers are broken 'down. A common occurrence is for two or three dead bodies to be found in the s4ae house.

Twenty cases of feveil are reported, although it was strictly ' quarantined with every road\ guarded night and day.
