Show The ladies who are so much given to dying thwir hair briubt yellow-blonde, yellow-blonde, they call it should know that it is no improvement upon nature in any respect. It may be pretty for once or twice, because of tbe novtlty; but artificially is never agreeable for any length of time. Actresses are cbitfly given to the practice, and there may be proiessional raasona with which the uninitiated are unacquainted, unac-quainted, for dying the hair; but if not these play Indies make a mistake. With other women there is no excuse for tbe habit. They may imagine that it heightens their beauty, or modifies thoir honelinew, which it certainly does uot. Nature is the best beautifiei and understands art a good deal better than women and men. She knows jut how to harmonize colors col-ors to produce the moat pleasing re-eults, re-eults, and those who attempt to improve im-prove on her work usually spoil it. It ia true uature hasn't bsen generous gen-erous with eome women, and may have failed to maku them all handsome, but she has not forgotten to give to each eyes and eyebrows, hair and complcxi.-jis to match. It U an esthetic blunder to change any of these to bleach the hair, pencil tLe eyebrows or blanch the complexion; com-plexion; and an attempt to do so is vulgarly unbecoming because it U imuatural. Why dees not some woman coior b hair blue, her nose red, ber -cheeks groeo, or her teeth black? Any of tLxwe is a prettier and ciore attractive hue than the sold, dead yellow, and their adoption as s uggested above would show be-lai: tuate than the bleaching of which there ia each a fancy amoog the aezv "The People's Feiesd," in Fri-1 day morning's Herald, gave a graphio account of his Leadviilc experience. The writer ii an old Pacific coast newspaper man, and familiar with the stampedes and mining excitements of the west; but he never before saw anything like the Colorado craz:-; that U, he nevt-r bffr.re saw so much smoke come from so little fire. He assures us that hia picture has uot been overdrawn, but is lather left unfinished. Ho predicts a four ml crash in Leadville utTiirs one of llieec days, and whereas now everybody is afllicted with the fever, then all will sutler from supreme su-preme dirigu.t. The camp id fearfully fear-fully and ruiiuusly overdone ia everything every-thing but mmi'K, of wnicd (here 3 an oruinouM scarcity. Very lew Itdics arc btiitf profitably worked, and aa to thtnc a shaky ieeliog is tinning in the minds of the owners. Of course we may readily understand what tli- condition of the camp will be when the thousands already there, and the other thousand now ou the ro.id thither, fully appreciate as thoy soon must do, that, in their own parlance, par-lance, "Leadville ia a bilk," The Btory told by Ibis intelligent contributor contribu-tor lully sustains what tbe Hebald hm heretolore said in reference to Leadville, Lead-ville, and emphasizes the cautions we have given to miners against fleeing to Colorado. Utah has more and hotter mines than the Centennial state dreams of. Aside from the single mine that first gave the camp notoriety, all Iho ledges in Leadville, combined, would not make a Flagstaff, an Ontario, a Last Chance, an Old Telegraph, or one of a Bcore of others in this immediate vicinity that might be named. The reports of the year's product will prove the correctness ot tbia assertion, Utah wants capital and people to develop ber mineral reeources, but she doea not desire anything any-thing of the Leadville nature. What progress wc make had better be permanent, per-manent, even if we are years in the advance. An excitement like that over Colorado, without the means to ouavwiu iiui. jjiuvu uiucimoc than injuriouB to the country; a reaction re-action is sure to come that will leave the state in a far worse condition than she would have been had Leadville never been heard of. Such has been the hielory of all Bimilar stampedes. We again caution Utah miners and Utah mining operators, as well bb , buiiness men, against being stricken , by this fatal Colorado fever. Here , there is a oert&inty with effort; there , it is an almost assured failure. |
