No Gold i'm the Black Hills.

Mr. John W. Clark writes as follows
from Cheyenne to the Detroit Tribune

for the purpose of learning all the latest

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

of the gold region of the whole country
traversed 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 proper
test is made of the sample of ores
brought in.
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
lished 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.

Best Organs ON Most Favorable Terms,

The new terms offered by the Mason
& Hamlin Organ Company, for the sale
of their celebrated instruments, create
dissatisfaction with many dealers, who
declare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other organs, espe-
cially by peddlers. By these terms a
person is allowed to hire an organ, pay
ing only reasonable rent for it-hav-
ing the privilege, of course, of return
ing it at any time after six months, or
of purchasing it at any time. If the
purchase is completed within year, the
whole cost of the organ is only five to
ten per cent. more than if all cash had
been paid at the beginning.
Dealers say this is much too small q
difference for the accommodation in
time, and privilege of returning, given.
The Mason e. Hamlin Company are
determined to try the experiment thor
oughly, at least, being confident that
their organs will prove so attractive and
satisfactory i'll use that scarcely any will
ever be returned to them. Circulars
with full particulars can be obtained by
addressing them in Boston, New York,
or Chicago.

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 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 you
can find no time to attend to these
things. The fact is, you have no right
to be solvenly. 1t can do you no good
but on the contrary, it will mar your
peace, wound your self-respect and i'm
pair your credit. Then, by all means,
spruce up 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
more money in the market and of
greater value to you at home, if you
spruce up little now and then.

A Fortunate 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 dc 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
home in half a 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.

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. DIR. Hutchi-
son, Chairman of the. Sanitary Commit
tee, has had the matter under investi.
cation ever since, and yesterday sub
mitted a long report, which afiirms 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-
tensively 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 its 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. Acompetent 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 commence
ing a prosecution against the alleged
offenders. -NeO York World, Sept %.

An Old Aiaye.

"Never cry for split milk" is an
adage venerable for its 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 800, has kicked over the pail just
as it was filed with warm, rich milk !;
don't cry for split milk-what' s 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 your 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 oc-
casion of it, and see whether more eau
ton on your part might not have
avoided them; and if you find they might,
then be more careful to shun the pro-
ducing causes in 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
well to go on repeating the follies from
which one has already suffered, or re-
newing indiscretions which are sure to
bring renewed penalties.

See left and light OF us,
