she Talks and Gives Some TIaan
Words for Practical Thinkers.
For the first time Wheeling audience
had an opportunity TO hear that wonder
ful woman lecture last night. The at
tendance was not as large as we expected
to see, but the house was well filed, only
a few Of whom were ladies.
At eight o'clock Mrs. WooduulI ap-
peared on the stage. She was plainly
dressed in black silk dress and sack.
White cuffs and a iaunty linen collar
were the only decorations to offset its
plainness. Her hair was combed plainly
back from her comely, intelligent face
and rather carelessly allowed to hang
upon her shoulders in half
bunch. The lecturer didn't lose any time
in useless courtesics or superauous smiles.
She advanced to the front of the stage
and opened her lecture. Mrs. Woodruff

Fort Laramie.
Fort Laramie, WyO. r., March IA
-Four men came in to-day from the
Black Hills. They left the mining
camp, eight miles from Harnev's
Peak, on the sixth of March came in
on foot with two pack animals. They
belong to the Sioux City party. Their
names are Warren, Williams, McDon-
aid and Thomas. One of them brought
in ten dollars worth of gold dust the
others had very little dust, and all had
fine specimens of ore. Mr.. Warren
has some silver ore that appears to be
very rich. They also have specimens
| of iron ore and plumbago. They re-
port rich copper and lead mines and
gypsum, and that for twenty miles
where they have prospected on a
creek on which the stockade is built,
which on some maps is called Buffalo
Greek. ten dollars day can be made
with an ordinary rocker. Their main
Trouble is to" much water. They only
struck bedrock once, and to do this,
had to work in water waist deep.
From four to six feet digging brings
them to SO much water that pumps
will have to be used after that
depth. These men came in for
the purpose of getting supplies,
and to raise large party to return
with them next month. They report
this as the only practical route to the
Black Hills, being grea; deal nearer
than Sioux City, and the roads much
better. The streams on this route are
easily forded, and sufficiently near
together to give good camping places
and plenty of water on the entire
route. The distance from here is
about 80 miles. On their way in
they encountered two parties of In
dians at different times, but were not
mOlested by them. The Indians were
very anxious to trade ponies for guns
and ammunition, offering three po-
nies for needle gun. They report
the Indians they saw as being well
fitted out with needle guns and rifles
and plenty of ammunition. They
leave here for Cheyenne in the
morning.

Chicago, March l5.-A Washington
special says, in regard to the rumors OF
the retirement Of Attorney General
Williams from the cabinet, that Beck,
Of Kentucky. in conversation with
the correspondent, says that Williams
retirement is certain, as he will never
wait till the Democratic House OF
Representatives assemblies, a. they
would surely impeach him. Beck is
represented as saying that the same
facts that warranted the Impeachment
of JudGe Durell, in New Orleans,
would he used in the impeachment of
Williams, for he authorized the acts
upon which Durell's impeachment
was based, and that this is only one!
among his official acts deserving i'm
peachment. Beck thinks that Car
pcnter would stand the best chance of
confirmation us the successor OF
Williams.
