his accuser, one COMBS:

false, as you know they are; you must

COMBS promptly retracted, declar-

WAYNE COUNTY, INDIANA, SEPT. 8,


Max Adeler has a friend named
Simmer, who deserves pity. He was
going up to Reading not long since,
and when reaching the depot he hap
pened to look in the ladies' room. "A
woman sat there with lot of baggage
and three children, and when she saw
Simmer she rushed toward him, and
before he could defend himself she
threw her arms about his neck, nes-
tied her head upon his breast, and
burst into tears. Simmer was amazed,
indignant, confounded; and ere he
could find utterance for his feelings,
she exclaimed
20, Henry, dear Henry we are uni
ted at last. Are you welp Is Aunt
Martha alive? Haven't you longed to
see your own Louisa?"
AAnd she looked into SINNERS face
and smiled through her tears.

Then she buried her bonnet deeper
INTO his waistcoat, an6 began to cry
harder than ever, and said
20, Henry, how can you treat me so?
How can you pretend that you are not

The Black Hills Gold Discoveries,

The dailies publish very remarka-
BILE accounts of Gold having been dis
covered in the Black Hills, Dakota
Territory, and the excitement in con-
sequence bids fair to be a rival of the
furor created when California was
first announced to be the promised
land" for Gold. The Chicago Inter-
Ocean says:
The Black Hills can be reached
from Chicago in sixty days, and we
should not be surprised to see gold
excitement spriLging up over this in
telligence riyaliug the California fever
of 49. Already the frontier towns
ale in tumult, and the excitement is
spreading. Little is talked of or
thought about save the discoveries in
this wonderful Inland. Besides the
the gold which is found in
such abundance, iron, plumbago, and
gypsum exist in limitless quantities,
and the soil and the climate are of the
most inviting description. There is a
treaty which makes any incursion by
the whites into this region unlawful,
| but the government will without
doubt take speedy measures to make
satisfactory arrangements with the In
dians for its occupation. 1t would be
a sin against the country and against
the world to permit this region, SO
rich IN treasure, to remain unimprov-
ed and unoccupied, merely to furnish
hunting grounds to savages. We owe
the Indians justice and fair play, but
we owe it to civilization that such a
garden of mineral wealth should be
brought into occupation and use.
| There will be little difficulty, however,
if care is observed not to precipitate
hostilities by too speedy and un-
authorized invasion. Those contem-
plating going there should wait for
the proper permission, though we
doubt if this will be the case, as the
temptation is too strong to brook de-
lay. We shall probably hear in con-
sequence Of collisions with the In
dians, though these will not stop the
tide which not even the fear of death
seems capable Of stemming in such
cases.
1t will not be many days now before
we shall know officially still further
Of this important discovery. Suhi
! cient is already known, however,
to make it certain that the region il
/ rich in mineral wealth, and extends
| tie strongest inducement to settle
4 ment and development There is no
1 greed like that for gold. and there is
always danger ofihasty and precipitate
action under the stimulus of an ex
citement which urges the settler to
fields like these. Men should reflect
well before they move in such mat
ter, and weigh well the chances, the
hardships, and the probabilities OF
failure. 1t is always wise to let well
enough alone, and those who are in
the enjoyment of comfortable posi-.
tions would exhibit sound judgement
by remaining where they are. tt
others the case may be different We
utter this timely warning in view Of
the inevitable excitement which mus,
spring up over this discovery, and tt
caution people against the headlons
rush which brought SO much disap
pointment and suffering to thousands
in the days of the first settlement ot
California.

The Foreign Demand for Wheat.

Hon. Alexander Delmar, late Dr.
rector of the National Bureau Of Sta
tistics, gives the latest advice of the
condition OF the present harvest in
Europe, and also some very valuable
statistics giving comprehensive view
of the whole situation as regards the
European supply of and demand for
breadstuffs, and particuliarl, of the
one article in which the Northwest
has such great interest at stake, viz.
wheat. The first prominent fact is,
that tie crops of this grain through
out Europe are nowhere poor, and in
nearly all countries are rather above
the average in quantity From Mr..
Delmars statistics it appears, that
notwithstanding the crop of wheat in
Great Britain is somewhat better than
that Of last year, that nation will be
compelled to import as much wheat
as last year, viz: about 81, 2,4OO, 900
bushels. The important question of
the Northwest is, how much of this
will be required from the surplus of
the United States? The total exports
| Of wheat and wheat -four from the
United States to Great Britain in the
| eleven months up to July 3lst last
were 47,941 ,760 bushels (including
-four reduced to wheat or at the rate
of fifty-two million of bushels for the
year As is shown by Mr. Delmar's s
statistics, this was about fifty. six per
cent. OF the total amount imported in
to the United Kingdom: but the
favorable reports of the crops
1 fhra,,~hout 20 h.
impression that the United States
cannot expect demand from Great
Britain for so large a proportion of
her deficiency this year. The gran
aries of Europe are SO full and so
near to the great consumer that the
prospect of an active foreign demand
for American wheat is not very favor
able. The Importance ofthe British
demand for our wheat may be esti-
mated by the following figures. which
We find in the reports Of the Bureau
of Statistics:
The total exports of wheat -four
from the United States to all conn
tries, in the year ending June 30
1872, were 64,532, $50 bushels (includ-
ing flour reduced to wheat.) The to-
tai exports of the same in the year
ending June 30. 1873. were II ,625, ,575
bushels of which considerably more
than half--39, 1867 ,891 bushels
to Great Britain. Mr. Delmar's fig
ures show that the exports of wheat
from the United States to Great Brit
ain in the last year were exceptionally
large. tits therefore doubtful if they
will be SO large in the next twelve
months.

A FITTING TESTIMONIAL.
A Friends Tribute to Miss Flora
Hardinx-The Funeral at Charles


tom. %
To the Editor of the Sentinel:
SIR: As the sudden and myster-
ioas death Of Miss Flora Harding is
exciting so much comment and attcn-
ton from Indianapolis and other jour-
| mails. line from one who has known
her long and we'll. may not be out of
place at the present time. Flora
Harding was born and brought up in
this city Charleston, Ill.) Her faith
er, George Harding, Esq, and her
mother, Mrs. 1nnes Morris, for rea.
sons all their own, were divorced in
marriage in 1859. The care of the
daughter and one son devolved entire
ly upon the mother Her struggle
was hard one in those days, not only
with poverty but with that opprobri-
UNI and ostracism which society sees
| fit to inflict
UPON ITS VICTIMS
at such times under like misfortunes.
| Miss Harding's tastes were literary;
books were her companions, and
teaching school-a labor she delighted
in-was her occupation. Thus Flora
inherited from her mother a love of
learning, and from her father the
points of ready writer. Her own
productions and her lifelong devo-
tion to books and study give evidence
of the truth of this statement. She
was always old in judgment and her
self and mother were boon compan-
ions. She was, perhaps, from the
force of circumstances, reserved and
reticent but her confidence once given,
she was spriehtly and communicative,
always exhibiting great power of
thought and Judgment OF understand
ing. Her truthtulness was proverbial.
Later her mother married Mr.. John
Morris, and Flora engaged in teach
ing school here in Coles county. That
this terrible calamity Should have
come upon her so suddenly, is a mys-
terry unexplicable to those who have
known her SO long and we'll. We
therefore hope and pray that upon a
thorough and proper Investigation the
real facts in the case may come to the
surface. To her true friends it seems,
that all that is left of her now is the
beautiful"
| HER FUNERAL
was largely attended at the residence
of her step-tather, Mr.. John Morris,
Saturday afternoon at 4 O'Clock, the

ing the officiating clergyman. His
