Language of the Clouds.

The colors of the sky at particular times
afford wonderfully good evidence. Not on
!y does rosy sunset rresage fair weather
and rudy sunshine, but there are other
tints which speak with equal clearness and
accuracy. A bright yellowish sky in the
evening indicates wind; pale yellow, wet
. neutral gray color constitutes a favora-
Bile sign in the evening and an unfavora-
BILE ono in the morning. The clouds are
full Of meaning in themselves. If Their
forms are soft, underlined and teathery, the
weather will be ine. If the edges are
hard, sharp, ard definite, it will be foul.
Generally speaking. any deep, unusual line
be,okens wind and rain, while the mere
quiet and delicate tints bespeak fan
weather.

Who has not heard Of the Black Hills
and the rich treasures Of gold and other
precious metals supposed to exist there,
Year after year expeditions have been
formed o. talked Of to explore this region,
but DO reliable information has been oh
tanned concerning it The expeditions
formed have been checked by Government,
interference or driven Of by Indians. On
~ month ago the Bozeman expedition re-
turned, disorgsnixsd and to some extent
dishearteoed. often . months continued
lighting with the indians, reporting barren
| results.
To-day there is forming on the banks of
the Missouri an expedition consisting of
from seventy Eve to one hundred as brave
boys a. ever drew bead on a redskin, to
be lead by the redoubtable Chris Gibson,
and sworn to visit the Black Hills and re
port. They come in squads to Yankton,
from Mooreheaj, from TRANSPORTATION
the East, the FAR West, and from the South
and. early in june they will meet where
provision has been made for crossing the
river, and with pack mules loaded with
-four, bacon, ammunition, ETC.. take up
their Of march for the Eldorado of the
North
Who 10 the brave leader Of this band of

Caris Gibson, who will live in history
and song a. one Of the bravest men of his
time. Those spirits who cannot help
admiring tbs valor Of Daniel Booze, II
the pluck and persistence Of Kit Carson,
will delight to revere the name Of Chris
Gibson. For twenty-eight years Chris has
operated on the Western plains, as
guide and interpreter. or occupying posi-.
tons of higher trust.
For years be has been an attache of the
Seventh Cavalry sort of nephew of the
regiment, but Of late, hris has chosen to
take his own course, and in this case he at
ONLY proposes to 60 independent of she
Seventh Cavalry, but in spite of it.
Gibson will be remembered as the man
who, in single banded combat with a party
of seven dssperadoes, at Sargent City,
Kan, IN February, 1873, killed Sam
Wright, Thomas McLeland, and Jack
Stutzman, shooting also an arm eff of an
other, when the remaining three abandonded
the contest. The citizens of Sargent, for
this act, voted Chris their thanks and pre-
scented him with $3.50 shotgun, and the
railway managers gave him pass for a
year over their line Of road. In November
before Chris had killed a companion of
the roughs named CIayburn, as in this case
in selfdefense.
Those who wish TO 60 with him should
apply to him ut once at Bismarck. There
is no fee, bus parties joining will neel
mule, gun, rations, etc.

A COUPLE OF "DEARs A short time
ago, two young girls, Laura Huntington
and Mary Carey, living in the town of
Dupont, near the county line, with the as
sistance of az old hunting dog captured
and killed two deer in about an hours
time, clubs being the only deadly weapons
used. The girl. waylaid the first deer as
he was crossing field, and drove him in .
to log heap, where be somehow became
disabled and was soon dispatched. They
had hard y recovered from the excitement,
when they saw the other der sailing to-
ward them with the Id dog after him; to
head him of and stop his Roadway was the
work of . moment, when the dog seized
the game, giving the girls chance 20

1t is stated that party of army officers,
who having been engaged IN mounting guns
and otherwise putting the gulf forts In SER
viceable condition, while sailing through
Mississippi Sound, s,noe the recent food,
encountered remarkable scene. For miles
were seen logs, drifswood, and patches of
turf and soil floating out into the gulf,
filed with wild animals, who chung to their
frail barques with thetenacitd of shipwrcck-
ed mariners. Among the animals were
seen rats, racoons, opossums, rabbits, ALI
gators, and moccasin snakes in uncounted
numbers, ell brcughr down from the
swanps and marshes, perhaps from fifty to
one hundred miles inland. The novel ex-
bibition had & scientific snterest, as it sue
gested the manner in which, during past
geological periods, animals were transport.
ed from regions far inland to the mouth Of
esturies, and their bones being entoomed in
the silt nd soft mud, furnished the organic
remains which are preserved for ages in the
hardened strata. It was, doubtless, by
similar means that tho fossils now found
in the solid limestones were eugulphed and
preserved: and also that animal life has
been distributed over PORTIONS of the globe
