' Denver (CoL), January Denver pa pers this morning publish reviews of business, mining, etc., in the State for the year 1879— the most prosperous year of Colorado's his tory. ' • The business summary of Denver for the year shows an increase in trade and mannfact urts oP fully one-third over the preceding year. - Transactions in real estate have been something wonderful, the consideration being $2,777,000.- Over 400 brick and stone build ings, estimated in value at §2,200,000, have been erected, extending ' the proportions of the city in all -directions. Many very fine business blocks have been put "up, and one hotel at a cost of half a million dollars, be sides others, costing less, but still creditable buildings. - ': Cattle shipments from the Stale number 107,824, the income to the State being $2, --500,000. The wool product was 7,000,000 pounds ; wheat, 2,250,000 bushels, and oats and corn in proportion ; garden productions were large, and some fruit was raised during the year. ■ . -, . ... ■ The Western Union Telegraph Company extended their lines 825 miles. : Railroad building was considerably retarded bylaw suits. The Denver and South Park extended 70 miles timard]j^>dvi]]e and the Gunnison country, and tW'AtchisoD, Topeka and Santa Fe built "through the Grand Canyon of Arkansas, thougjr*not permitted to operate on account of litieatiou during the year. Jay Gould came into actual possession of the Kansas Pacific, Denver Pacific and Colorado Central roads, and obtained a large interest in the Denver and South Park and the Den ver and Rio Grande. It is predicted that 900 miles of road will be built in 1880. ■■' The product of the mines in, given by coun tie*, as follows : Lake, -311,477,040 ; Gilpin 82,008,055; Clear Creek, $1,912,410; Boul der, $800,000 ; Ouster, $720,000 ; Park, $434, --74 9; Gunnison, $300,000 ; Summit, §295,717 ; Chatfee, $71,240; San* Juan, §483,500. Total, $19,110,802. In 1878 it was $9,820, --743, showing an increase in one year of $9,290,118. Lake connty shows the enor mous increase of 88,759,605. Clear Creek and Park counties are the only ones which do not show an increase.* • . While speaking of the Leadville yield it may be stated that the total of ores treated by smelters for the year 1879 was 110,483 tons, realizing 810,504,100, or a value in pure silver and metallic lead of -898 per ton. This certainly is the largest average value of sil ver ores in bulk, and the greatest production ever known in any camp of its age in the world's history of silver mining. It should be observed that the gold product of the Harrison smelter, amounting. to $12,940, has not been included in the above table, but which being added, gives us as a total pro duct from 110,483 tons of ore a commercial value of §10,517,040. The numerous produc ing mines have much ore on hand, and all the millipg establishments carry stocks which, by the most painstaking and conservative esti mates, are reckoned at 12,000 tons, 'of an average value of $90 per ton. . Edison's Exhibition— llls E'cctrie JLlgbt ; . Perfrctoa at Vast. ; Menlo Park (N. J.), December 31st.—Ed ison's laboratory was to-night thrown open to the general public for their examination of his electric light. Special trains from the east and west were run, and, notwithstand ing the stormy weather, . visitors came in crowds. The laboratory was lighted up with twenty-five electric light*, the office and counting-room with ten, and the jet and adjoining houses with some twenty more. The method . of operating the lights from a centra^ station was shown in the laboratory in detail, and the lamps ware subjected to a variety of tests. One of the lamps was placed by Edison a large glass jar filled wjth wa ter and the j current turned on. . The little piper filament emitted it* customary beau tiful illumination without the slightest dim inution on account of the water.' It was kept ; : , (*-■ Vj :/: ■ :,., ■ BUItMSG IX THE WATER For several hours. Another light wa* turned off and on as many times as it was calculated it would be in actual household practice in thirty years, and without any perceptible injury to the light. The process of sub division was illustrated by the inventor in detail, as was also the method of measuring the amount of electricity consumed. The latter is an exceedingly simple system, and consists in the electricity d«i)ositing minute particles of copper upon plates placed in an electric meter, the quality of copper deposited when weighed, the amount of electricity conmmsd. A motor, operated in connection with the electric light, and by the same current/ was aUo shown, runuing a sewing-machine and pumping water. The inventor regards this part of hU system as furnishing an assurance of THE GREATEST ECONOMY, As electricity will be largely consumed in the daytime, whereas gas in only used during five or six hours at nijjht, and all machinery used in its production is idle and eating up in expense during the balance of the twenty four hours. A mong khe visitors were a num ber of promirent gas stockholders, who sub jected the systtm lo the severest scrutiny ; and as the bright and beautiful light, buiri ing«vithout flame or flicker, stood all their tests, their skepticism was considerably Rhaken. Ex-Secretary Kobeson, Hon. Wm. E. Chandler and Senator Plumb of Kansas, were among the notables present. The in ventor and hia assistants afforded all who came every opportunity to inspect the sys tem, from the making of the paper filament to the production of the light. The exhibi tion was in <;very respect a success. The laboratory will remain open to the public a few days longer. Then Edison proposes to review his work and get nil in readiness for general use throughout the country. EDISON SATISFIED. New York, December 31st — "I do not think the electric light can be shown in New York for gome time to co ne," remarked Edi son to a reporter yesterday. "So long as the Electric Light Company is satisfied that the light is a succeis, I care little for ad verse criticism." •irnnrt Krri-jillon :il MnTnnnnh. Savannah. January Ist— General Grant and party arrived here at l^Li\ m , and were received by th« Mayor and Tjoard of Alder men and the Collector. The colored military, who had been parading in honor of Emanci pation Day, assembled at the depot with a band, and when the train rolled in gave loud cheers. General Grant was taken iv charge by the Mayoi, the remainder of the party being accompanied to the hotel by commit tees t>f Aldermen. The colored military desiring to escort General Grant, the bat talion was tormed, and a carriage containing the General and the Mayor was escorted from the depot, followed by a large crowd. At the hotel a considerable number of whites gathered, but there was no demon stration. As the General left the carriage and ascended the hotel stops three cheers were given by the colored military. The »..i '. lUiir i'onsrr** at Pltt»l>urg. _ .PITTSBCEjs-(Pa.), January Ist.— Social istic Congress held its last day's session here to-day. D^egate T. C. Brappy, of Boston, in the chair. An animated debate took place on the report of the Committee on Platform, which was adopted after several amendments had been made. The preamble and platform do not differ much from that adopted at New ark, New Jersey, in 1877. V? The question | of nomiaatisga candidate tor President came up at the evening session, and I was opposed by P. 'J. McGuire 'of St. Lonis>, Winter of New" York, and others,* and* was advocated by A. E. Parsons ;of ■■ Chicago ? and T. C. Brappy of Boston. .;; After four hours' heated die'ctusiori,' Parsons and Brappy carried their point. Caleb Pink ' of King* county. New York ;> A. E. Bishop of Chicago and Oaborn Ward, were selected, and will . be referred to the party ; the two name* receiving the high est number of votes to be the candidate* far President n.ii'l Vice-President. McGuire of St. Louis, Van Pettonof Cincinnati, Wagner <>f Br.H.klyn, ami Winter of St. Louis have l>er.-istently advocated coalition, and chargts have been made during the session that an attempt was being made to sell out. The Congress, at 11:30 r. M., adjourned sine die. till in l>tnl Murdrr by a Jilted Woman. Washington, January Ist. — This after noon, as John H. Morgan, son of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, was walking along G street with a friend, they were met by Lucy W. B. Horton. who suddenly drew a revolver, and sLot Morgan through the shoulder. ' Be fore she could fire a second time, Morgan turned and seized the weapon. The wound is not dangerous. Miss Horton began suit against Morgan last July for breach of prom ise of marriage. Since then she has lost her position in the Treasury Department, and has been generally unfortunate, and she claims she has been persecuted. She main tains that her assault on Morgan was nopre meditated and their meeting unexpected, al though she expresses regret that she did .not kill him. « A Mi.-ri fr am I Constable Mortally W'oanded. Cincinnati, January Ist.— A Van Wert (Ohio) special to the Cvmmtrcial gives the particulars of an attempt by Sheriff Stith and others to arrest two men in a house of ill-fame last night, supposed to be the mur derers of Bernard Pickers, who was shot near Delphob a few nights ago. One of the men, named Groseman, fired on the Sheriff, blew out the lights, and continued firinp until the Sheriff and Constable Redmasg were both mortally wounded. The men escaped, but were pursued and one captured, with §900 in tiis possession. He refused to give his name. All Qnlct at the Capital of Maine. Augosta, January Ist. — The armed guard at the State House is there only in the night time, and then do not keep any one away who has business at the Capitol. The au thorities explain thu'; Buch a force is deemed prudent, on account of threats made in pub lic meetings and otherwise to force the regu larly constituted authority. It is very quiet here now, nothing of public interest having occurred. The Fusionists and Republicans will be here in large numbers by Saturday. It is expected that the decision of the Court at Hun;. or on the questions at issue will be rendered by Weittward- bound Passengers. ■Omaha, January Ist. — The following through passengers were on to-day's train, leaving at 12:15 P. 11., to arrive in Sacramento January oth : Miss M.

J.), January Ist.— To-night a file broke out in a clothing store on Broad street, about three doors abov* the Western Union Telegraph office, to -which it extended. The clothing house, , Western Union office and three other buildings are burned down, and the fire is now beyond control of such apparatus as the town affords. | Feats are en tertained that the whole block will be de stroyed. At present the large brick stove store of John Sutton is burning, and unless it can be saved, all efforts to protect the rest of the block will prove fruitless. ■ Cincinnati, January \ Ist — The Gazette special from Fort Wayne, Ind., says : A fire to day damaged Wilson & Mahler's hardware store $4,000 and the stock $7,000. The build ing was insured for $3,000 and the stock for 37,000. . Inauguration of Governor < ornvll. or .. Sew York. Aluant, January Ist.— The inauguration of Governor Cornell took place at noon to day in the Assembly Chamber of the new Capitol. It was a very plain and simple ceremony, lasting only a few minutes, but was witnessed by a vast concourse of citizens, many of whom were from distant parts of the State. j£/Jj I 'ln-rc Born Drowned while Skating.

Several Kohistan and Logar chiefs have tendered their submission, y . The enemy's losses in killed and wounded during the last fortnight are estimated at 3,000. On the 30th of December General Bright made a descent upon some of the vil lages whose inhabitants had been prominent in harassing British outposts, and took them by surprise. • . % ■ Search for Victims of the Tay Bridge Id- ■ aster Suspended. ; . .. London, January — Diving in the Tay at the scene of the recent bridge disaster has been suspended, owing to the boisterous weather. The railway authorities- say there is little doubt that the bodies have been washed seaward, and a boat expedition is be ing organized to search for them. Appeal for Aid for Fnmishlns Persia. London, January Ist. — The Turkish Mis sions Aid Society lias written to the TiiAes regarding the famine in northern Persia, stating that they have received a telegram from Oonniah to the effect that the famine in all that region is increasing daily, and that unless strenuous efforts are made to fend help from England and America a great number of the population must perish. There is only two months' supply of food to sustain the people for the next seven months. »;«roi-l for c\-£i:ipn\ss Engrnie on Her 1 Kil to /.uliilnixl.

DO ANIMALS RESIST TEMPTATION? Temptation frequently begets in the dog, cat, and other animals the same kind of men tal or moral agitation, and the same sort of result, as in man. Sometimes we can see— in the dog, for instance — the whole play of the animal's mmd — the battle between its virtu ous and vicious propensities, its pro;nptings to the right and its endeavors to stick by the right, its longing for the wrong — for the tit bit, which it knows it would be improper to steal — and the final triutnuh either of virtue or temptation. The poor animal, knowing or feeling the weakness of the flesh, sometimes has the moral strength, the force of character, the good sense, to avoid temptation alto gether. But dog*, like men, are apt to have the most trying temptations thrust unex pectedly upon them, and then comes the tug of war of the appetites and passions— the moral turmnil that may make shipwreck of or that may strengthen virtue. Sometimes, then, by the dog, as by the mar, temptation is successfully resisted after perhaps a series of protracted and painful moral struggles that have been very apparent to the onlooker. Unfortunately, howeveai equally in dog and man, the resistance of temptation is less com mon by far than non-resistance or non-success in resistance, the result of which is various forms or degrees of wrong-doing. Cleve has announced to the French Academy the discovery of two new ele ments, which he has named respectively thulium and holmium. He was led to in vestigate the earth erbia in which Marig. nac had discovered ytterbium, and Wilson scandium, in order to distinguish the sub stance in this earth which gives the red color and the beantiful absorption spectrum to its Baits.

N^w York, January 2d.— A Washington special says : Yesterday, when the President's reception rooms became well peopled, De Ahna, who failed to get confirmed as Cus toms Collector of Alaska, left his friends at the portico and placed himself in line leading to the Blue Room, where the President was receiving. The group then moved iuto the vestibule to watch him, for he had said on leaving them that he in tended to tell the President to his face what he had brought him to, and thus try to shame him before the crowd. As the line advanced toward the Blue Room De Anna's face grew sullen, but his friends mis-' interpreted the expression, never dreaming that he would dare to proclaim his grievances at such a time and in such a place. Finally De Ahna reached the President, who extended his hand to him. De Ahna ignored the proffered hand, and, stepping back, threw open his heavy overcoat, and bracing his arms against his hips, craned his neck forward and looking straight into the President's eyes, began in a tone of voice characteristic of Voorhies when spreading himself before the Senate is) " For eighteen months you have denied be justice." The President turned his head aside and De Ahna's eyes began to glisten. People in trout of him passed out into the East Rsom and those behind gathered around him. He made a forward movement, as if to switch the President around, but the latter saw it and turned slowly back of his own ac cord, evidently much annoyed ' Oh, you needn't turn away," De Ahna went on in a loud voice : " I h^ve come here this New- Y«ar day to tell you what you have brought me to by denying me justice, for eighteen months, "and I shall «ay what I have to say." De Ahoa was now talking loud enough to be heard through all the rooms. " What I have to say. is," he continued, bis body swaying, as though at the slightest provocation he would be ready to start a first-class riot, "that if your wife anil children had toßuffer for months what my American wife and five little ones have had to suffer for nearly two yeais ; if yours weie subjected to such outrageous treatment and privations that mine have had to put up with, and simply because justice was denied to you as it has been to me, you would not only be in utter despair, as I am, but you would never have another happy day." Loud vcices had been coming from the vestibule during the last of thisoutbarst, and as it ended four pairs of hands dropped on De Ahna's shoulders. "Come, we've had enoughof this; go out peaceably or we'll put you out," said a brass-buttoned police sergeant to De Ahna. " You needn't trouble yourselves about me," was the response, as De Anna shook himself free. •' I have said all I want to, and dow I am going; but that mau," pointing at the President, as the brown hands again fell on his shoulders, and a fifth policeman from be hiad began pushing him towards the East Room, "is a despot who doesn't know — " The rest of the sentence was lost in the din, as five blue-coats pushed the Ex-Collector's un willing body into the East Room. Hayes turned smilingly, with extended hand, to the next guest in line. Tli<- Maine Mnddlr--AutniHla Mill quirt. Augusta, January 2d.— General Joshua L.

SPAIN'S GREATEST MATADOR. Leaving a Desktui of Love letters, Locks of Hair and Faded Bouquets. (From the Courier dcs Etats L'nis. ] We know what a number of celebrated people have died this year —statesmen, men of rank and celebrities in literature and art. But there is one more name to be added to the necro'ogy of 1879. This name is neither that of a politician, nor of a painter, nor of a poet, and nevertheless the defunct in question enjoyed more pop ularity in Ms. own country than all the scholars, artists and deputies put together. We refer to the matador, Frascuelo, whom all Spain has applauded for ten years.whom the prettiest women of all the Spanish provinces have, in tarn, called Frascuelito, and who has now died of .1 horn thrust naturally received in the exercise of his profession. Frascuelo, among Spaniards, was a hero, and as Theodore de I'.aiiville said the other day of Victor Hugo, he had already become immortal. He will for ever remain the prima spada of legends. Ihir ing his lifetime he was the curiosity, above all others, that his countrymen showed to strangers, and he was proud of hia dis tinction. He was born at Ar.dah aia, and at the age of 10 years went to work in the slaughter-houses of Seville, where all the matadors begin their careeV, theseslanghter houses being for them a sort of academy. At 18 he was engaged in the famous com pany of El Tato, who also died of a horn thrust. At first he was a simple chalo — that is to say, he was charged with the duty of exciting the bull by shaking a red handkerchief before his eyes. Then he was promoted to the position of ban derillero. The mission of the banderillero is to plant little javelins in the shoulders of the animal. At this dangerous game Fras cuelo was wonderfully expert. When the bull rushed at him with lowered head, he steppei lightly between the animal's horns, and bounded clean over him, planting hia banderillos while in the air. Or he would simply await the attack, leaning on a long pole. When the animal rushed at him he would lean over him, using the pole for support. The bull might break the pole, but Frascuelo would be sure to land on hia feet some five paces from his former position, and then solemnly salute the spectators. It wa» by an unanimous vote tiuit he was raised to the dignity of a prima spada. One day at St. Sebastian his chief, I. - gartijo, was wounded and wa» unable to continue the tight. The crowd called for Frascuelo to tak& his place. Frascuelo picked up the sword, ran at the bull, and classically planted the weapon in the back of the animal's neck. After that day lie killed over 300 bulls in the same manner, and was often wounded. The crowd wor shiped him, not only for his skill and cour age, but also for the singular richness of his costumes. He thought nothing of spending $4,000 for an equipment, and, like a pretty woman'who chances her dress for every ball, he never wore the same costume twice. Frascuelo leaves a considerable fortune, and his heirs, more over, will find in his desk an immense col lection of love-letters, locks of hair, faded bouquets —in line, a collection the like of which is not possessed by any living man, not excepting even the most applauded of tenors. BOSTON PHRENOLOGISTS IN 1840. Chance had given some distinction to Boston as the focus of a doctrine which, though probably to be classed as pseudo scientific, has had a permanent effect on theological belief through its bearing on the question pf moral accountability — we mean phrenology. Those admitted to the intimacy of a late popular physician in Boston remember an ear of Spurzheim's neatly preserved in alcohol ; and thou sands of visitors to Mount Auburn have had their attention called to the monu ment which marks his* last reating-plaee. S^ix years after the German apostle had planted his seed and been himself interred in a foreign soil, the interest already ex cited in figured and lettered skulls, and bumps, and organs, and "examinations," was confirmed by the arrival of (ieorge 'Combe, with his dry, unhumorous Scotch mind, his pure and earnest nature, and his considerable reputation as a writer, and as a strictly scientific expounder of the truths of phrenology. For nearly two years his lectures were listened to in all the great cities of the Union. In June, 1840, he returned to England. "It was the fre quent remark of Mr. Combe," says Mrs. Child, in. her familiar " Letters from New York," that of all nations whose heads he had ever had the opportunity to ob serve, the Americana had the organ of veneration least developed." " Venera tion" was marked "full" on the chart made of Father Miller in 1842 by a "phren ological friend," and on the same chart ' Marvelousness " was set down as "mod erate." But the good old man perhaps made some allowance for the prepossessions of the examiner, seeing that the prejudice of another had in that very year laughably ' betrayed the uncertainties of this sort of ' divination. His incognito being preserved, as was customary, the phrenologist re marked to his introducer : " I tell you what it is, Mr. Miller could not easily make a convert of thin mini to his bare-brained theory. He has too much good sense." Putting his hand on the or^an of marvelousnes, he proceeded : " There ! I'll bet you anything that old Miller has got a bump on his head there as big as my list" Sin'li mistakes serm like a rciuctioad absurdum of the whole system ; but, other considerations apart, they hardly do more than prove the incompetence or charlatanry of the individual professor who makes them. Every attempt ti> popularize the result of learning and research is exposed to such disgraces, and it was for this rea son that the old Puritans founded Harvard College, expressly to avoid "leaving an illiterate ministry to the churches;" Father Miller himself being precisely tine of this kind, and his calculations and predictions being the result of his want r.f scholarly discipline, though it must in candor he al lowed that his theory of Scriptural inter pretation is not open to this objection from the orthodox. Some of these, hy-theway, complained of phrenology as favoring fatal ism too much. Mrs. Child, on the other hand, hailed it as "the democracy of meta physics," a view not less abhorrent to the clergy, whose occupation it threatened to take away. APOTHEGMS.

Thij being objected on all sirks it is agreed that it is a fault and a hindrance to knowledge. What now is the cure ? No other but this, that every man should, let alone others' prejudices and examiDe his own. — (Locke. Education, then, briefly, is the leading human souls to what is btst and making what is bost out of them ; and these two objects are always obtainable together, and by the same means ; the training which makes uiun happiest in themselves, also makes them most serviceable to others. True education, then, has respect first to the ends that arc proposable to the man, or attainable by him ; and secondly, to the material of which the man is made. So far as it is able it ehoosnj the end accord ing to the material ; bnt it cannot always choose the end, for the position of many persons in life is fixed by necessity ; still less can it choose the material ; and, there fore, all it can do is to fit the «ne to the. other as wisely as may be. — [Ruikin.
