LAST MONDAY, with on: wife and boy,
we went to OWatOnna, to see Barnum's
Hippodromc, and we saw it. and it was Il
big thing under a big canvas. The
Congress Of Nations was a gorgeous
affair, and in many respects a very fair
representation Of the different sovereign
ties. The carriages, horses, and Flags,
were magnificent in the extreme, and ex-
cited the admiration Of all who behel1
them. Aside from the horses used for
carriage and draft purposes, there were at
least fifty elegant racers, most of them
imported and many of them were trained
''steeple chasers,' and "hurllc jumpers"
To person who has an eye for fine stock
a view of these horses was luxury, and

The present is a time when everybody
should exercise great caution. 1t is the
"hot season." and all are liable to sudden
attacks Of sickness. The stomach should
be treated with the utmost respect, or it
may create disturbance. Don't cram it
with green corn, cucumbcrs, and raw on
ions, nor drcnch it with ice water. Eat
moderately Of well prepared food, sleep all
you can, and he strictly temperate. Those
who labor in the fields should keep a
mos, cloth under their hats +" prevent in
jury from the suns rays, take a bath every
night and sleep in clean night shirts. Be
cheerful. Nothing ligl,cns the burden
Of constant toll, so much as a cheerful
spirit. FONT be vuI gar or profane. A

hence our advice is,take things coolly, and
keep your conscience clear.

accompanied hy Dan Haructt, an old
frOnIiersmuu Of Dakota. and Charley
Collins, one of the men who organized
the expedition to the Black Hills,
which went out last fall, and to which
Witcher belonged. In long interview
Witchcr repeats his former statements
in regard to the existence Of gold i'm
large quantities in the Black Hills.
He says that the first dirt pauncd out
yielded fifteen cents to the pan pros
pectors had no quicksilver with them,
and so lost the fine gold. what they
got being shot gold. Wilcher denies
the stories of suffering among those
composing the expedition, and says

nounce their intention of Immediately

lieving they can more readily accom-
Plish their purpose than at Sioux
City. Harnett says that he is well
acquainted with all the leading Sioux
chiefs, whose people occupy the Black
Hill's country, and has talked freely
with them upon the subject of the
occupancy of the country br the
whites. He says that the Indians
know that the country is rich in min
erals, and that the whites will even
tunlly get in there, and before they do
so, they want to make treaty with
the government to reliuquish all
claims to the reservation. They are
willing to do this for S25, 600 cash and
an annuity for fifty years. They want
to go to Washington to talk the mat
ter over, and proposal was sent re-
! Gently to the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, who replied he WIS unable to
! act in the matter because the appro-
priati"n Tor transporting Indians to
Washington on such missions, was
exhausted. IIurnctt asserts that the
immunity from molestation 10y In
dians, which both Custur's expedition
and the mining party enjoyed, was
due to the fact that Spotted Tail re-
strained his young men from hostili-
ties, fearing that n conflict would
destroy all chances of bargain with
