despatch received from the Black
Hills Geological Exploration throws n
wet blanket over the hopes OF those who
saw millions of gold in that section. Up
to the 9th, no gold had been discovered,
and what is worse, the formations thus
far discovered are of recent geological
age, and mot auriferous." Further ex-
plorations arc to be made near Harney
Creek, and the facts in that case will also
be given to the public. AS the explor-
ing party, at the latest date, were within
twenty miles Of the place where gold
was reported in abundance, and the geo
logical evidences were decidedly adverse
to the idea of the existence of this metal.
it is not likely that any placers will be
struck in tho Black Hills of n paying
character. This is bad news for the boys
who are en- route for that section. They
saw well-hlled purses in the prospective,
and were prepared to wipe out the red
men and enter into possession of the
land that was stocked with gold if it did
not run with ''milk and honey" These
geologists are sad idol breakers, and gold
lot spectators had better meet m army
with banners than one of this practical
class of men. But it is proper TINT rclia-
bic evidence in relation to the Black Hills
country should be spread before the
people, in order that they may act with
their eyes open on this subject

The Providence Journal finds q pecu-
liar illustration Of the old adage, that
''shoemakers' wives have to go barefoot"
in the experience Of Madam Lille, clnir-
voynnt and fortune-teller, who, having
rooms in the building in Boston lately
reduced to ruin by m unaccounted-f for
explosion, was SO badly injured by its
full that it was necessary to take her to
the hospital. 1t would seem to the un-
spiritualistic mind, that her controlling
spirit might have warned their agent OF
impending dnngcr, anl that she who
could foretell precisely how many hus-
bnnds or wives, as the case might be,
each inquirer would have, md describe
the exact shade of their hair md ev"s,
might have made her power of vaticinu-
ton of use to herself The madam is
said to have been badly frightened, and
one would think not only that she would
renounce her claim to prophetic insight,
but TINT the most crcdulous portion Of
the public would lose fnith in fortune
telling. However, since her employment
Is lucrative one, and numbers Of people
like to he Sullcd, it is not probable that
her business will be given up, nor her
gains diminished.

Within the past five years there have
been built and put into operation IL
number of narrow-gauge roads in this
country of thirty-six inches, and two in
Canada Of forty-two inches. A striking
and conclusive fnct about these roads,
according to the Chicago Rai,cqy Reuiem,
is that not one of those in full Operation

bankruptcy, and that every one has

Growing UP TO SPECIE PAYMENT.
exports of specie from the 1st of january
to the 1st Of June, were S:l ,46l 900.
This is So, 000,00 more thnn for the cor
responding period last year, and SILL
O0O.OOO more than in the same months in
1870. Thus are we "growing up" to
specie payment by the accclerating flight
of our specie. The growing up process
by which gold and greenbacks shall APP
proach each other in value, is going on
also in another way by the gradual rise
of the gold premium to II. The Cincin-
natl Gazette thinks that at this rate n
smart artlmetician may reckon mt what
time we shall have grown up to specie
payment. There is consolation in this
kind of progress that the rise in premium
tends 10 check expectation of gold, and
gives us more for it. But while higher
premium is needed TO check exports of
gold, it is not easy to see how gold and
greenbacks can grow to an equal value,
or how we are growing mp to specie pay
ment, or how 1t will be any easier in
1879 than it is now. Perhaps the in
crease OF paper money by tfree banking"
may help the growing up. If not, We
may try fresh issue of greenbacks.
But it is likely that the mere fixing of
the time will do the business without
any growing up. At any rate, our con-
Srcsslonal tinancicrs thought so.

1t is probably not generally known
that the Legislature of New York, Mt its
recent session. passed an Act looking to
specie payments by the banks of that
State in 1878. The Act provides that all
contracts thereafter, made payable in
dollars, without specifying what kind
OF dollars, shall be liquidated in United
States gold of the standard weight md
hneness. 1t also requires the payment
of MI taxes in 1873 and afterwards in
gold or the notes Of specie-paying banks.
The Supreme Court Of the United States,
in n case from Oregon, has decided that
the law making notes legal tender has
no reference to taxes imposed by State.
The question of rejecting such notes as
4 legal tender for individual taxes, by
State authority, may be doubtful one.
