sure to see it! And just as you take
it off to braid it your door bell rings,
and you peep through the blinds and
see that elegant Mrs. Brown come to
make call. And you get your head
up at random, without glass, and pass
the interval of her visit in fever of
dread and terror, lest your coiffure be
onc-sided, or otherwise out of proper
order.
Now, anybody may laugh at these
little worries, and call them childish,
but the fact of it is they wear ones
nerves and patience out much sooner
and muc.A. more surely than those
greater worries which We call misfor-
tunes.

that is one Of the best assurances of
success practical miners will ask.
He also saw, in his rides near the
wagon train. outcroppings of what he
took to be pretty good gold bearing
quartz and fair indications of lead.
Mr.. Corners home is at Charleston,
His. but he has been for the most of
nine years employed summers in the
army wagon service. He served under
Custer in the southern Kansas expedi-
ton of l868.and the Stanley Yellowstone
expedition of last year, as we'll as the
Black Hills expedition of this year.
His mining experiences have been am.
ply sufficient, he thinks, to justify him
to judge Of gold prospects, and to know
the Custer Valley discoveries were real
and as stated. He has washed, for in

do and Maxwell's mines in New Mexico.
He is young man whose looks and
conversation indicate intelligence and
good judgment, and commend his state
ments as entitled to respectful consider.

It will be seen that the advance was
general, although more marked on corn
and oats than on other grains, and in
these two markets the chief interest of
the speculative element now centers.
The cash oats are owned by the same
operators who successfully run the
July corner. The corner made is q
little mixed. Some operators claim
that the king Of the July corner is a
large ''short,' and his own personal
movements warrant the conclusion.
There are not few, however, claiming
to be well posted, who say that If
all his trades through brokers were
made known, it would turn out that
he is long to large extent.
He positively refuses to settle, aud
many parties who had bought from him
and sold to other parties at a good
profit, are afraid Of a repetition of the
dodge played upon them in the middle
of July, viz: the delivery of the grain
on the tap Of the bell, too late to allow
them to get the corn off their hands,
being thus compelled to sustain loss
both ways, where they really had a
profit. In anticipation Of this event
many parties are buying the cash grain
and carrying it. so as to be ready for
any emergency. This is also the case
with many commission merchants, who
have sold short on orders and who do
not want to be caught in the gap by the
backwardness Of their customers in fill
ing their trades.
Wheat is very steady, and is not
manipulated as yet, although the out
look is not encouraging to ':shorts.' -
Rye is very firm, but the trade is not
large, and the market does not attract
much attention. Barley is higher and
scarce, with prospects of squeeze"
before all outstanding trades are pro-
vided for.
Freights by lake are now cents for
wheat to Buffalo, against IL l-2 to l3
cents year ago, and yet the shipping
movement is not large, owing to the
difficulty experienced in obtaining the
grain at prices to allow a shipping mar.
gin.
It is generally conceded that (di-
rectly and Indirectly a large line o.
September contracts in wheat, corn,
oats, and barley are still unprovided
for, and as the recent large advance has
not had the expected effect of increas.

Little Worries.

Great misfortunes can be borne with
patience, for we feel that they come
from the hand of God, and are designed
to fall upon US for some wise purpose.

For whitening scorched linen, it is
often sufficient to wet it with soapsuds
and lay it in the sun. Another method
is, where milk is plentiful, to put one
pound of white soap into gallon of
milk, and boil the scorched article in it..
Another plan sto squeeze out the juice
of two middle.sized onions, which is
boiled in half a pint of vinegar, with
one OF. of white soap and two OF. Of full
ler's earth. The mixture is applied
cool to the scorched part, and when
dry, washed off with clean water:

These figures show how comparative.
" easy it is to control the trade, as it
requires only a comparatively small
amount Of capital to hold the grain in
store and to care for the daily receipts.
As vet the advances and the firmness
Of the market have been produced BY
legitimate uences-the law Of sup
ply and demand-causing an advance
both at Liverpool and New York; and
with the present low freights there has
been shipping margin nearly all Of the

the grain East and obtain more money
to carry on the deal. 1t is generally
conceded that fair j number

Mr.. Matt. Conner, who served as
wagon master under command of Capt.
Smith, quartermaster, in the late Gus
ter expedition, and who is highly re-
commended by Capt. Smith for the
intelligence and faithfulness with which
he assisted in the care Of the wagon
train, states as follows, concerning his
observations in the Black Hills coun.
try:
It is one Of the most beautiful
mountain countries he has ever seen.
The soil of the valleys is black and is
very rich as is evidenced by the rank
vegetation. Pure water is abundant.
That the climate is mild is shown by
the abundance ofgame and the variety
of natural vegetable productions, in
cluding great number of species Of
wild flowers and all the forest trees
that are native to Kansas and Nebras.
ka. 1t the northern ranges the timber
is mostly pine. spruce, ETC., large tim
Der and looking at distance as if it
would cut up into the best Of lumber,
but Mr.. Conner, who is not himself a
judge Of timber, was told that the pine
was of inferior quality and most Of it
useless for numbering. He noticed only
Norway and pitch pinc. Southwark
from Custer Valley, he says, are for.
ests Of hardwood timber.
That gold was found there in paying
quantities and that the indications are
such as promise large returns from flu
ture prospecting, he knows by personal
observation. The first gold was dis.
covered by Ross and Mckay in Custer
Valley, which descends from what ap.
peared to be an upland prairie, is Dor.
dered by such prairies for eight OF. ten
! miles, and is very large valley gradually
narrowing until about fifteen miles be.

had large mining experience in Montana
and Colorado, and Mr.. Mckay in Cali.
fornia. But Mr.. Conner did not rely on
them for his knowledge Of
the gold discovery. He had
considerable opportunity to
explore and himself washed out gold cl
which he presented some two dozen
''co]ors" to Capt. Smith. This he found
himself: He took part. in digging a
shaft. when the miners undertook to &c
to the bed rock, and found gold from
the grass roots down, for eight feet, un'
til further progress was stopped by va
ter. Another attempt was made on a
bar below to get to the bed rock but
! the digging was hard and, for lack Of
time, the rock could not be reached.
In both these shafts and in the surface

TO his mind that the miners Cross and
Mckay did not exaggerate ir

Valley aiggings will yield common
laborers ten to twelve dollars .
