ed by over feeding. We are assured

sugpes: Texas fever. The symptoms
do not sustain this. In cases of that
fever, we understand, the animal is
stupid and always dies with the head
thrown back against the body; and,
further, that disease is contracted
from exposure, and no cattle having

carry the germ of disease for that

probable. Change of pasture will
cure that fever, but has no influence
in checking this malady. The reme-
dies administered are numerous but
ineffective. Climate may have some

sAIl is not Gold that Glillers.' -

So much has been said about the gold
at the Black Hills, that word or two
on 'the other side" may not be amiss es
pecally when it comes from Lieut.. G. ID.
Wallace, of Clusters expedition, who has
been there, and whose views are thus
given by the Sioux City "Journal"
Lieutenant Wallace's views in regard
to the fabulous wealth said to be hidden
ia the Black Hills are somewhat differ
ent from those OF many others who have
expressed themselves upon this subject
He admits that there is beyond doubt
gold in the Black Hills, yet the state
ments made by the majority of those
who have visited that country, he look
upon as highly colored, Some portions
Of the Black Hills, he says, would be
hard to beat as regards the natural beau
ty Of the scenery, and there are mex
haustibIe beds Of gypsum waiting to be
utilized The pine that grows among
the hills 50 beautifully is said 10 be

One of the men concerned III the
Trenton Massacre has turned states
evidence, and the participators have
been indicted for the horrible butch
erv. Here is what Ben Davis the
man alluded to. says about it to re-
porter OF the Nashville Banner.
After everv other man had dis
mounted they went to the jail and
demanded the negroes from the Jail
er. with whom they had to talk right
smart before they got the keys. The
taller was told If he didn't give up
the KEYS they would kill him, and he
gave them up, and when they got
the KEYS they shook them, veil was
given. the negroes taken out. and
then followed another vel. They
tied twelve OF the negroes. two and
two, with rope obtained from old
man Lpveswcl One by himself and
then three together. They we're ia
ken on the Huntingdon road. Nick
Ivev was the only negro among hem
that talked any. and he was told by
one Of the crowd, with an oath, u
shut his mouth, or he 1.-THE disguised
mani would kill him. Davis was told
that lvey at one time got down on
his knees. bur he did not see that
While crossing the bridge one of the
negroes said, s'go" and all the ne
groes save FIVE attempted to spring
over the bridge, and the greatest con-
fusion followed The shooting was
indiscriminate. Every object which
seemed to have the appearance Of a
negro WAS shot at. About every 9TH
er man did the shooting. One of the
disguised men who was jerked off the
bridge hy one of the negroes got in
the way of stray bullet, and had his
finger shot off. The FIVE negroes
who didn't go was shot down. When
he let there were ten of them lying
face downward upon the ground.
They were left for dead Davis new
err did know what become Of the six
negroes that ran away. He knew that
he counted ten that were left for dead.
They Tell where they were shot. The
disguised men shot four or FIVE ne
groes in the head after lying there,
supposed to be dead. Some one said
th,t they had better GO around and
shoot every damn one in the head.
They were thus shot with pocket pis-
to's. Three of the negroes were "
ing there groaning, and that is why
they shot them. If they had made
no noise hey would not again have
been shot. One of the men said:
"Let', go down and kill those damn
devils that's grooming" The boys
were all in a mighty big hurry, and
left the place mighty fast. : ffer
getting short distance away they
all separated.

At about twenty miles from Ber-
lin is situated the village of Speren-
berg, noted for the deepest well that
has ever been sunk. Owing to the
presence of gympsum i'll the locality,
which is at moderate distance from
the capital, it occurred TO the Gov
eminent authorities in charge of the
mines to obtain supply of rock salt
With this end in view, the sinking
OF shaft or well sixteen feet in diam
eter, was commenced some five wears
ago, and at the depth of two hundred
and eighty feet the salt was reached.
The boring was continued to furth-
er depth Of nine hundred and sixty
feet, the diameter of the bore being
reduced to about thirteen inches. The
operations were subsequently prose
cuted by the aid of steam, until a
depth OF four thousand one hundred
and ninety-four feet was Obtained
At this point the boring was discon-
'inued, the borer being still in the
salt deposit, which thus exhibits the
enormous thickness of tire thousand
nine hundred and six feet.

The Damage Of the Scandal.

The printing of Mr.. Tilton's state
ment brings to close what NAV be
called the "Trial by Newspaper" OF
the present controversy. II is nearly
four months since Mr.. Tilton, by the
publication Of his letter to DIR. Bacon,
began this extraordinary scandal
During these four months the coun-
try has suffered from worse than
Egyptian plague. Better that the
waters had turned into blood, so that
the fishes in the rivers had died
better The plague of frogs and of flies
corrupting the land; better the muir
rain, the locusts or the horrible dark
ness; we might even say better that
last awful blow which fell upon
Pharaoh's people before they would
let Gods chosen people go, than this
dreadful visitation which for four
months has fallen upon the American
people. No event of this generation
has brought more evil in its train

Fatal Cattle Disease.

Some two months ago Nessrs

of cattle in Davis county. Missouri
and brought them to the farm known
as the Rider place, | miles north.
west of this place, where they have
been feeding them, preparatory t.
putting them on the Chicago market
this winter. The cattle were doing
well and fattening nicely, until one
week ago Wednesday, when it was
noticed that one of them WAS taken
with disease which is raging with
alarming certainty, threatening the
humiliation of the entire herd On
that day it was noticed that one act
ed rather curiously, and immediate
assistance was rendered, but to no eff
fect-by evening it was dead; and
the destruction has increased until
the number of living this morning on.
ly counts 65, the dead representing a
loss of about $4,000, estimating the
value per head al $50 here.
The disease is as curious in its
workings as it is fatal in its result
The first indication of an attack is
noticed by a violent twi,ching of the
muscles of the under jaw of the ami
NAL; then frothing at the mouth
from which saliva flows freely, the
eyes become watery, and the animal
seems TO suffer the most intense pain
which increases from the moment
they are attacked until death ensues.
which in no case has been longer than
twenty-four hours. They commence
rubbing the head, mostly on the lief,
side, and continue until the skin, and
sometimes one of the ears, is entirely
rubbed off, the head swells up so as
to close the eyes in many cases. The
last struggle seems to be tre-
mendous one. The animal stands
erect, and straining every muscle to
Its utmost tension, giving evidence of
powerful internal convultion, they
