Keep the Farm and Home Tidy.

Somebody, we know not who, wrote,
years ago, the following good advice.
Like other good things it comes to the
surface occasionally and will bear re-
peating:
If you get a moment to spare, spruce
up; put the gate on its hinges, put a
little paint on the picket fence you built
last year trim up the door yard make
it cozy and inviting. Do not say Won
can find no time to attend to these
things. The fact is, you have no right
to be solvenly. It can do you no good
but on the contrary, it will mar your
peace, wound your self-respect and inn
pair your credit. Then, by all means.
spruce up a little, at odd times, and at
even times too, for that matter. 1t will
make you feel vastly better, and, may
be, trife proud of your pretty home
stead. Your wife and children will be
made happier for it /; your neighbors
will be enriched, beautifed and blessed
by it. And your farm will be worth

No Gold in the Black Hills.

Mr.. John ". Clark writes as follows
from Cheyenne to the Detroit Tribune
| arrived here from Detroit last
Wednesday en- route to California, and
concluded to remain over at this point
for the purpose of learning all the latest
news from the Black Hills region
Some twenty or more persons left this
vicinity nearly month ago with the
understanding that they would join ex-
petitions from Montana and other
places. They succeeded in meeting
only one party of forty-six persons,
which they joined, making the whole
number sixty-six. They represent that
they have made thorough inspection
of the gold region Of the whole country
trayersed by the Custer party, and with
out meeting with any success in the
discovery of gold as reported by Gen.
Custer. In fact, not color of gold was
found in any of the streams by any
member of the party.
Several lodes of silver-bearing quartz
were found, but as to the real value of
the same no one can tell until a proper
test is made of the sample of ores
DrOuSnI III.
The country is represented as having
every appearance of long and severe
winters, and with the exception of the
gold report by Gen. CUSTER is nearly
the same as that report heretofore pub
hshed in your paper.
The company made hurried marches,
knowing that it would be unsafe to re-
main long in any place on account of
the Indians, who are reported as being
very dangerous and numerous.
I received my information from Mr..
James Dubois, long resident of Cali
fornia, and thorough miner, who was
one of the party returned, en- route to
Salt City, where he resides. I advise
all persons having an idea of going to
the new Eldorado to abandon the same
at once. Surely there is anything but
bright outlook at this time.

A FOrtul. ate Orphan.

In the year 1866 the cholera made
terrible havoc in Belgium, and at
Client it swept away three generations
in one family, leaving only little
child, Florimond Depauw. The Jour-
nal de Grand records an interesting in
cident in connection with this child.
His father had been employed in the
grain market, and when the facts be-
came known that his child was left
desolate, those employed there mani
tested great interest in the little boy,
whose disposition was such as to make
every one fond of him. His holidays
were passed among them, and he had a
home in half dozen families. When
he came out at the head of his class in
the free-school, the other day, and
gained the municipal medal, his nu-
merous friends in the grain market sub
scribed, and presented him with a
handsome silver watch, with an affec-
tionate inscription indicative of the
pride and interest they all felt in him.

The town is at stand still. The
grass encroachments upon the sandy
streets tell their own story. Just as it
was twenty years ago, it is now and,
though I had only the remembrance Of
days long since passed to assist me in
my wanderings, [ had no difficulty in
finding my way to spots around which
SO many pleasant memories cluster. AS

the grand old elms lining the streets on
either side, or looked about me to find
few signs of life, I could not realize that
here, in this "Sleepy Hollow" where
man might sleep longer than even Rip
Van Wrinkle did, was struck the first
hard blow for American rights. The
place was more than quiet, it was still.
Even the twitter of the birds was softer
than in the midst of stirring life, and in
stinctively trod softly, lest the passing
football might wake an echo it were
painful to hear. This is Lexington at
present. Perhaps it is fitting that moth
ing of newness should enter in, but the
town should be undisturbed in it's
dreamy quiet, consciously proud of the
fact that here, 100 years ago, was heard
the birthcry of the nation that back to
this spot, in all time to come, every
mind must revert when it dwells on the
New World made free. On a spring
day in that stormy time, handful of
men gave their life for their country.
To-day, modest shaft marks the spot
where they fell, and tells the story of
their patriotism in words that cannot
fail to carry us back to the dark days
when the struggle and the sufferings be.

An Old Adage.

"Neyer cry for split milk" is an
adage venerable for it's age, and full OF
wisdom as applicable to a great many
things.
Your favorite dog has suddenly dis
appeared; your most valuable horse has
fallen lame ; the frost has nipped your
corn and killed your early beans the
nudge has ruined your wheat, and your
rye doesn't fill well your new COW, that
cost $100, has kicked over the pail just
as it was filed with warm, rich milk 4;
don't cry for split milk-what' the use?
1t is necessary to your happiness to
bear with philosophic unconcern the
unavoidable and almost innumerable
little ills which beset every human
pathway.
The wisdom of the MAXIM which we
have quoted, however, is incomplete
unless it be coupled with another, not
usually laid down in connection with it.
which is this : Don't spill .you' milk.
If the milk be spilled through your
fault, and you apply the maxim not to
cry for split milk, you simply substitute
culpable negligence with foolish in
difference.
When any evil or unhappiness befalls
you, look calmly at the causes and &C.
casion of it, and see whether more eau
ton ON your part might not have
avoided them; and if youfnd they might,
then be more careful to shun the pro
ducing causes i'll the future.
1t is not worth while to waste the pre-
cious moments of this short life in idle
regrets. On the other hand, it is not
we'll to go on repeating the follies from
which one has already suffered, or re-
newing indiscretions which are sure to
bring renewed penalties. LE

Poisonous Candy.

The Brooklyn Board of Health held
an important meeting at the corner of
Court and Livingstone streets yesterday
afternoon. About two months ago the
attention of the board was called to the
fact that large quantities of poisonous
candy, most of which came from Boston,
were sold OF various places in Brooklyn.
The subject was partially investigated
at the time and referred to the Sanitary
Committee of the Board of Health for
investigation and report. DR.. Hutchi-
son, Chairman of the Sanitary Commit
tee, has had the matter under investi-
cation ever since, and yesterday sub
mitted long report, which afirrns that
all the candy sold in Brooklyn is almost
wholly unfit for use, and is little better
than poison. The poisonous ingredi-
ents are, he says, introduced very ex-
tenslvely for the purpose Of coloring the
candy and increasing the size of the
different kinds. There are 341 candy
shops in Brooklyn where this poisonous
stuff is sold to thoughtless children and
others Ignorant of it's dangers. The
magnitude of the task of discovering
and suppressing all the places where
this candy is made and sold is so great
that the Board of Health could not
grapple with it without mourning great
expense. The report says that it would
be necessary, in the first place, to
analyze the contents of the candy-shops.
This would require 10000 separate
analyses. Acompetentc chemist couldnot
make more than ten of these examina-
tions each day, and without careful
analysis he did not think the Board of
Health would be justified in commenc-
ing a prosecution against the alleged
offenders. -NeaO York World, Sept. 25.
