lie between the i}rd and 18th degrees
Uf latitude, and the IU3rd and lGjth
parallels of longitude, and occupy an
nrGa Of about one hundred mites in
length, nUrtherly and ~SDuIhUTly, and
about sixty miles in breadth. Their
form is ciiipliCul, and according to
LIEUT.. WHrrUn's report of them, "thU
major axis trends about 20 west OF
North" The base OF these hills is
about 25n to 1000 feet above the sea-
level, and the highest peaks do not
exceed 1000 feet. The eastern bound
any line of Wyoming. IOith parallel
OF longitude, runs about midway
through the hills. The whole range
of the hills lies in the forks of the
Big Cheyenne River, watch j. the
most Important stream in that re-
gion. the north fork Is called Belle
Fuurche, is thirty. yards wide, and
passes around the northern end Of
the range in II seInicirClc, receiving

the hills, which flow into it from Il
great number Of small! streams. It

this range, nea to the sources of the
lAttlc Powder River. in what is
known uS the "divide " between the
waters of the Yellowstone aud those
st the Missouri. The South Fork Of
tho Cheyenne River is about II
hundred feet wide, takes its rise in
the same divide" flows around tn"
southern base Of the hills, and also
receives numerous tributaries which
have their source in them. These
ts . streams unite about forty miles
east Of the Black Hill, forming the

into the Missouri some sixty miles
above Fort Pierre. From either
Fort Sally or Fort Pierre, in a due
west direction to the Wyoming line,
which runs through the centre of the
hills nearly, is II distance of 90
miles, on an air line. Formerly there
was n road from Fort Pierre to Fort
Laramie, over which military and
traders stJrCS were freighted, and
the distance fixed at three hundred
md twenty-five miles. The road
necessarily passed yer the bad lands
considerable OF the distance. Any

country between the Upper Missouri
and the Black Hills, the grass is not

POisons and Their Antidotes.

DIR. G. J. Rockwell writes: Fatal re-
suits of poisoning are most frequently
occasioned by delay in applying, or
ignorance of the antidote. The fol-
! lowing is list of the antidotes Of the
common poisons, and | suggest that
chemists, dyers, druggists and Others
who are brought daily in contact with
| poisonous substances, post this list in
some CONSPICUOUS place in their lab
oratories:
For alkaloids, such as morphine
quinine, etc. emetics and the stOm-
ach pump must be reli,u upon ral her
than chemical agents. Astrln r eDt
liquids may be administered, such
as fannie acid, which precipitates
many of the alkaloids from their
aqueous solution, absorption of the
poison being thus retarded.
For anthony (tartar einetic, etc ::
ANY form of fannie acid may be adj
ministered Infusion of tea, nutgalls,
c!nchona, and oak bark, or astringent
solutions or tinctures). an insoluble
tannate of anthony being formed.
| The stomach pump must be also ap-
| piled rs speedily as possible.
For arsenic paris green, etc.: Re-
Gently precipitated moist ferric hy-
| drate, best administered in the form
of mixture of solution of perchlo-
ride of iron with carbonate of soda.
| Emetics should be also given, and the
stomach pump applied.
For copper (verdigris, etc.: For an
antidote, administer iron filings, also
white OF an egg (albumen), which
! forms with copper compound insolu-
ble in water. Apply the stomach
pump. For hydrOcyanic acid (cya-
hide of potassium, etc.: A mixture
of green sulphate of iron, solution of
| perchloride of iron, and either mag
nesia or carbonate of soda, is the rec
ognized antidote in cases Of poisoning
with prussic acid. Inhalation of
ammonia is also advised.
For lead: Administer solution of
| EPSON salts or alum, and induce
vomiting.
For mercury corrosive sublimate
ETC. Swallow the whites of several
eggs. Albumen gives white pre-
cipitate with salts Of mercury, which
is insoluble in the juices of the stom-
ach.
For oXalic acid In cases of poison
ing with oxalic acid; or salts of sorrel,
chalk and water may be admins
tered as q chemical antidote, with the
view of producing the insoluble oxal'
ate of lime. Emetics should also be
applied.
For tin In cases of poisoning by
tin salts (dyer's tin liquor, solution
of carbonate of ammonia should be
given. White of egg is also said tC
form an insoluble precipitate with
compounds of tin. Vomiting should
also be speedily induced.
For zinc: Large doses of zinc, for
tunately, act as powerful emetics. l
vomiting has not occurred, or ha!
taken place apparently to an insult
cent extent, a solution of carbonate o
soda common washing Soda, imme
diately followed by white of eggs anC
demulcents, NAV be administered.

The Baltimore Sun tells ola new mode
of playing croquet, as follows: 1.-The
latest mode of setting the hoops is to
place them so that the hoop shall be
less than eight yards from the bounda-
ry, and each player is compelled to run
the middle hoop four times. A late
variation of the game is to have two
four-ball games, one set starting from
each end of the lawn. If ball be-
longing to the other set is in the way
it may be taken up and replaced.
by IA rule just adopted, at starting,
the players ball is to be placed on foot
from the first hoop and opposite its
center, instead of mallet's length as
formerly The object is to make the
first hoop a certainty, and so to bring
all the balls into play at once. If the
first hoop is missed the ball is not ia
ken up, but remains where it lies, and
is liable to be made use of by the other
balls, whether they have run the first
hoop or not. This puts player at
the first stroke OF his first turn in pre-
cisely the same relation to all the balls
as he is at the commencement of all
subsequent turns. Thus, IA player may
at his first turn play either for hoop
| or roquet. Formerly he had to run
the first hoop before playing for no.
quet; now he may play for roquet
before taking any hoop. Striking 8
ball tight is abolished, but pegging Out
is retained. II is a sore point, especial
ly with ladies, when about to go out
to have ones plans spoilt by an'adver'
sary who knocks you outside the
boundary, but this is in the chances o
war and makes the game more inter
esting.
Knoxville Whig and chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1875-1882, 1875-08-04
DIVERsIFYING SOUTHERN
CROPS.

A practice has prevailed for years
in the cotton States, of mortgaging
crops early in the season at ruinous
rates in order to procure means with
which to cultivate and get them ready
for market. 1t is a matter of sur.
prise to any one who has given the
subject any thought whatever that
such policy should prevail anywhere.
1t is this that has kept the Southern
planters hopelessly involved in debt
and has been as mill stone about
their necks to drag them down to ruin.
This debt has been increased for pro-
visions to live upon and for mules and
horses, and provender to feed them.
This could have been obviated by
raising their own breadstuffs, grass,
&c. Almost every year we hear South
ern planters say that they are going
to devote less attention to cotton and
more to grain, but they never do it.
There seems to be fascination in
raising cotton that leads them in that
direction, and forbds their engaging
in anything else. 1t is this want of q
diyersifcation in our industries that
has contributed largely to want of
the thrift on our part that character
ICES our Eastern neighbors. The Bal
timore Sun on this subject is hopeful
o. the future. 1t says:
A prediction ten years ago that any of
the cotton-raising States would in 1875 have
a surplus of cereals would have excited an
incredulous smile. Yet the States of Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama
will this year have enough and to spare. In
addition to this unprecedented grain yield,
the old staple, though reduced in acreage,
has by more thorough system of cultiva-
ton rewarded the planters as never before,
and they boast Of an independence that has
heretofore been unknown to that portion of
the country. They claim, that with their
surplus of breadstuffs, they can obtain the
means by which they will be enabled to
hold their cotton, take advantage Of the
market, and sell for cash instead of follow
ing the practice that has almostuniversally
obtained of mortgaging their crops early in
the season at ruinous figures. The agri-
cultural resources and capabilities OF the
South have never yet been fully developed.
It is able to feed itself as well as to clothe,
in certain essential respects, both itself and
the world. The sovereignty of cotton
would never have been disputed if it had
enjoyed the aid of such auxiliaries as the
cultivation of the cereals and manufactur.
lag industry.

NO;POpery Movement in Maryland

The following is the circular which
is being circulated among the Lodges
of the new secret organizations which
has its center in Marylaud:
CITIzENs-You are called upon to
unite at the bsllot.box to resist the
Papal pretentions in our politics. This
Church of Rome has long controlled,
directed and misled the Democracy.
and believes that with her compact
military, church organization, and by
the aid of her ancient diplomacy, her
counsels may totally ignore the Protes-
tant spirit within her party. Convene
then citizens, for the purpose of organ
ization, that you may with more GER
tainty of success defeat at the election
those candidates who do the bidding
of Rome, that you may resist the de-
struction of our schools, and by your
vote maintain the separateness of State
and Church, demanding the taxation
of all church property and the discon-
tinuance of sectarian appropriations"
The new organization is not a ma
tive" party, like the Know-Nothing
party, but embraces many foreigners
in its ranks. Neither is it confined to
any political lines, so far as can be
gathered. 1t is strictly sectarian,
anti-Catholic party, and in Maryland
ii seems to have been organized on the
basis of opposition to sectarian appro-
priations. 1t is said to have great
strength in Maryland.-W Washington

Care Of Horses.

The London Horse Book says: All
horses NUT not be fed in the same pro-
portion, without regard to their ages,
their constitution and their work
because the improperly of such prac-
tice is self-evident. Yet it is con-
stantly done, and is the basis OF
diseases of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account of the
cheapness, because their is no proper
nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly in.
furious, because it brings on intlam-
nation of the bowels and skin dis.
eases. Chaff is better for old horses
than hay, because they can chew anC
digest it better.
When horse is worked hard it;
food should be chiefly oats; if no
worked hard its food should chiefly b.
hay, because oats supply more nourish
ment and discriminating material thar
any other kind of food; hay not 81
much.
Rack feeding is wasteful. The bet
ter plan is to feed with chopped hay
from a manger, because the food is no
then thrown out, and is more easil,
cbewed and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water tina
has salt dissolved in it, because it
pleasing to the animals taste and NOR
easily digested, A spoonful of salt i
a bucket of water is sufficient.

Ethan Aliens Granddaughter.

A telegram from Springfield, Mass,
says: Mrs. Jemima Graves, who
will be 10l years old on the Sd of Sep
TENDER, is visiting her grandson In
this city. She is the daughter of
Ethan Aliens oldest son, and is a
native of Sturbridge. She was mar
ried at the age of twenty-four and had
eight sons and a daughter, her young
est boy" being now venerable, gray
haired man. On Wednesday morning
she rose at o'clock, rode from her
recent home in a small town in New
York nine miles in wagon to Utica,
and took the cars for $50 miles jour
ney to this city; yet did not appear to
be much fatigued by the journey.
Her faculties are remarkably we'll pre-
served, and she is more lively and
social than many women of half heI
years. She well remembers her illus
trious grandfather, the hero of Tlcon.
derogs, and describes his personal ap.
pearance, habits, and dress in detail
She is to spend the rest of her life
with her daughter, Mrs. Eudosia
Howard, at Brimfield."
