PRACTICAL MINERS, men who have lived
long upon the Pacific slope, have gotten
over the foolishness and waywardness
which SO often did them damage in their
earlier years. We do not hear of their
rushing away in hundreds to new dig
gings, as was their custom ten or fifteen
years ago. Frazer river and other SINH
lar excitements have proven useful les
sons to them. and they are content to let
time and weIl-directed industry make de-
velopments. The Eastern people, how
ever. have much yet to learn in this re-
gard. Witness the manner In which they
are focking to the Black Hills. Not one
prospecting. They do not even know of
the existence of the precious metal in the
famous region, and yet expeditions are
being organized In many cities to raid
upon the forbidden ground. We are glad
to see that California and Nevada min
ers have thus far taken but little stock in
the grand enterprise. General Sherman.
who was recently interviewed on the sub
ject, explained the way in which the ex-
citemeut was started and how it is kept
alive. "Omaha and Sioux City," says
he, "want to be advertised, and they are
succeeding in their wishes. Their mer-
chants want people to come there and
buy supplies for the journey into the min
ing regions. And then there is another
reason. The public has learned. that the
Government has forbidden it the entree
into this Indian reservation, and you
know how it is with forbidden fraits.
Stolen sweets are much sweeter, and the
miners imagine that the Black Hill min
ing region is the only one in the world. ;"

AN INGENIOUS ROBBERY.

A few DAYS since, writes the Paris cor
respondent of the London Daily Telegraph
IN March 26th, a sensational robbery was
committed, of that bold but patient and
thoughtful type which we are beginning
70 recognize as the American style. A.
N. Delapierre, money-changer on the
Boulevard de. la Madeleine. joins to this
business trade in expensive nick-nacks.
Nearly each day for the last six months
an American has made small purchases
in the shop. With the ease and volubil-
ity of his pleasant race. this gentleman
had fallen into the habit of exchanging
long gossips with NJ. Delapierre. who
looked upon him rs one of his best GUS
toners. The other morning the Ameri-
can arrived as usual with friend. NJ
Delapierre had just taken out bag Of
money and valuables, which he placed in
the window while he was talking. There
is. of course, a money-changer's grating
between it and the shop. Presently en-
tered third person, who bought silver
teapot. which the assistant packed up and
carried to the address given. When he
had gone the American produced claw,
such as gas-glebes are set upon, and said
carelessly to the money-changer
wish you would see if you have a glass
to fit this claw" NJ Delapierre went
with him into the back shop aud sought
globe to match, leaving the friend alone.
1t appears that he Immediately opened
the grating. seized the little bag of valu-
ables, and called out, g Haven t you found
glass yet ?" The American came back,
chose some articles to be sent home, and
then went off quietly with his compan-
ion Not for half an hour afterward did
NJ. Delapierre discover his loss, which
amounted to $4,000. half of it in bank
notes and gold, and the rest In checks
andnegotiable paper. A theft so patiently
concocted, so audaciously carried ont. is
worthy of notice. Like our own bank
forgers, these men had plainly some cap
ital, besides shrewd brain and cold reso-
luton. They could afford to wait six
months, and to buy silver teapots and
trifes of that sort.

formed within the past year in our State
authority to solemnize the same, we would
call the attention of all parties interested
to the requlrementso of the statute regulat-

obtain a license from the District Judge,
by producing credentials that the said

this statute the minister may be finedany
sum not exceeding $500, and imprisoned
until such fine is paid.

THE OLD MAN,
The following story is told by the st.
Louis Republican

".
Louis Republican:
One Bush, three-card monte dealer.
follows his vocation at Council Bluffs
Iowa. Some years ago he left his home
In Indiana and went West, in response to
Mr.. Greeley. He did locate lands. but
went to gambling. He prospered, and.
feeling well over his prosperity. sent for
his father to come to Iowa and eat with
him the fruit of the vine and the fat of
kids. The old man thought he would
go and see his prosperous son, and took
the train for Council Bluffs. He was met
by young Bush and taken to hotel.
The young man thought best to caution
his father against the three-card monte
players who infested the hotel and were
on the lookout for newcomers. They
had already spotted the old fellow. The
son knew it he gave his father some
good advice before he left him for the
night. But the game went on in that
hotel, and old Bush looked on until he
was satisfied he could do it as we'll as
anybody. He tried, and got up from the
table two hundred and fifty dollars
lighter. 1t was just all he had brought
with him, and the next day he commu-
nicated to his son the sorry intelligence
that he was dead broke. And young
Bush went for those gamblers and the
hotel-keeper that had permitted the swim
die upon the old countryman. He was
very angry at what had happened. for if
he had considered his father lawful game
he could have robbed him just as well
himself. In the fuss that ensued the old
man found out that his son was sort of
boss three-card monte man, and then he
wanted to 60 home. The dutiful son
furnished the money and saw his father
off on the cars--but his game of respect
able business in Council Bluffs was up,
and the son was sorry that he did not
rob his own father.

A AWoMAN's HANDs.-Bailey says man
is harder than woman, except in his
hands When she sees him take his
ceat-tail to hold stove-Iifter, she pushes
him away in disgust. and takes the hot
object in her bear hand without wincing.
If he should do that, he would drop it at
once, and couldn't helpit. When he has
dish to lift from the stove, he very
properly starts off to hunt up a cloth, and
while he is gone she removes it with her
naked hand, and is there ready to say
things that make him feel small and
worthless, when he gets back.
