Black Hills.

Government. it seems, has made
up its mind to enforce respect for our
treaty stipulations with the Indians
The adventures who in defiance
of the law have settled in
the Black Hills territory are to be
driven out by the troops, and we are
to preserve the reservation from
piraticAl attack until we are prepar-
ed to steal the land in a lump. 1t
was not, however, until the Indians
prepared to scalp the intruders that
the government moved, and it is
not sure than even now the troops will
arrive in time to prevent bloodshed :.
If prompt and decisive measures be
not adopted to secure the Indians in
their rights we may be again involv
cd in one of those expensive jobs
called al indian war. We can't uf-
ford such luxuries just now.
In New Orleaus the other night,
the Rev. George Harper looked ou,
the window upon startling scene. A
young man WAS passing two others

long knives. and fell upon him with
savage thrusts. The clergyman turn.
ed his head away to avoid seeing the
flow Of blood, and when he looked
again none Of the three were there.
Horrl6cd and mystifed, ho hurried.
ly dressed himself and ran to police
station, and there, betwaen spasmodic
efforts to catch his broath, ho de-
scribed what he had seen. A thor.
ough search of the ncighborhood was
made, but nothing was discovered.
The clergyman's story was reported
in the next mornings newspaper, and
before night the occurrence was OK
planned. The students at a New Or.
leans law school get practical ipstruc.
ton by trials of suppositious cases,
and tue mimic murder was intended
to be used in this way.
The "Wa Washington tea party" in
New York last Tuesday is said to
have been very brilliant affair.
The tables represented the thirteen
original States, and were presided
over Ivy the ladies belonging to the
best and oldest families, quantity
attircd in tho robes of their ances.
tors. Perhaps the most beautiful
effects we've produced by South Caro-.
lima and Pennsylvania, the former
exhibiting n table bountifully sup.
piled with Southern delicacics, and
spanned by al arch formed of South
crn moss, in W hich the word Carolina
was traced--the latter resting in q
bower Of evergreens, filed with beau.

tho call for help from the sufferor
by the recent tornado. Meeting
were held, and all classes seemed t,
vic with one another in generous con
tributions in money, clothing ant
provisions. Over $4,000. have beel
collected. Of this amount wo notio
that $348.80 comes from collection
made by committees of tho colore'

the recent floods had subsidod. IIo

which temporary bridge had beon
thrown to replace the one washed
away by the swollen waters. 1t
seemed insecure, and he feared to
risk his train and his passengors in

its tender, and ordering tho fireman
to leave his post, that but one life
might be endangered, hc dashed at
full speed for tho other bank. These
were moments Of brcathless suspense.

which he fell swept his body far away,
leaving only his name, David Halo

reckless act.

After the storm.

After the storm calm:
After the bruise a balm;
For the i'll brings good, in the Lords own time,
Aud the sigh becomes the psalm.
After the drought the dew;
After the cloud. the blue;
For the sky will smile, in the sun s good time,
And the earth grow glad and new.
Bloom is the heir of blight,
Dawn is the child of night,
And the rolling change OF the basy world
Bids the wrong yield back the right.
Under the fount of i'll
Many u cup doth Gil,
And the patient lip. though il drinketh Oft,
Finds only the bitter still.
Truth seemed Oft to sleep,
af blessings slow 20 reap,
. Till the hours Of waiting are weary TO bear,
And the courage is hard to keep!
Nevertheless, know
Ont of the dark must grow
Sooner or later, whatever is fair,
Since the heavens have willed il so.

Keep your Iips from dull complaining,
Lest the baby think I is training.

MEMPHIS THEATER.
Grand Opening on Monday, the
18th Inst.
Excursion Trains on the Mississippi
and Tennessee and Memphis and
Charleston Railroads.

Next Monday night the regular dra-
matte season at the theater will be
opened by a very fine actor, Oliver Doud
Byron, who will present his sensational
drama, entitled Across the Continent.
Excursion trains will on hat day run
over the Mississippi and Tennessee and
Charleston railroads, and the local river
packets will also carry excursionists at
very low rates. The inducements for
people to come to the city are, hat less
than half fare is charged. aud in addi-
ton an admission ticket to the theater
is furnished to each excursionist. Man
ager Brooks has made perfect prepare.
tons to receive the excursionists at the
theater. The play viii be presented
with new and appropriate scenery
especially gotten up for the piece. and
we feel satisfied that it will give univer-
sal satisfaction. Mr.. Byron plays his
own pieces, which, although of the sem
s%ational school, are highly interesting.
Across the Continent gives a vivid pic.
ture of a trip oyer the plains and noun
tsins Of the great West, through all Of
which the action is rapid, thrilling and
romantic. 1t is expected that at least
three thousand people will come in ON
the trains and river packets. Our couu.
try friends will enjoy a pleasant trip and
will be most Hospitality entertained
while in our city. During next week we
expect to see the theater crowded
nightly, a compliment which Mr.. Byron
and the management well deserve.
