No Gold in the s'BlacIk Hills"

A special from Washington city,
dated June 7th says-"Thc Rev.
Samuel Human, a missionary of the
Episcopal Church, who, escorted by
United States troops, accommodated in
the Sioux Indian country after the
expedition made by Gen. Caster, is
published In his report this reverend
gentleman gives the result ofthe ex-
petition of which he was a member
to be a belief that if any gold exists in
the Black Hills it will not be found in
quantities sufficient to pay for work
ing He does not believe gold was
found there by Clusters party, but
thinks the specimens brought out
were taken in by those who reported
the discovery. Gen. Custer has no
personal knowledge that gold was dis
covered in the Black Hills. He found
none himself, nor did he see others
find any. The entire story of the gold
discovery rests on the testimony of
three men who had been on the from
tier for years, who were familiar with
the Indian traditions about the great
wealth of the country, and who ac-
companied the Custer expedition as
guides or wagoners. Firmly believ-
ing the stories of the wealth ofthe Black
Hills, and knowing the expedition
would remain there but briet period
and have limited opportunities for
prospecting, these men, Mr.. Human
believes, took nuggets of gold with
them in order to manufacture evidence
should none be discovered. Their
motive was according to the theory
to excite the public mind, create a
widespread demand for further and
more thorough explorations, and to
induce large numbers of men to emf.

wealth be found in the hills. the tide

affirmed that Moulton is not now like

But if they try that they will be floor
ed, for the only precedent which at all
bears on the case happens to be in the
lady's favor. If, therefore, the oppon-
ent5 Of Miss Merington carry the case
before the Courts, it is likely to even
tuate by revealing not only that the

under English decisions women have

ORIGIN OF THE BAkBEh'S ROAaE-
To the curious IN small matters, a
trihe Of antiquarian research relating
to the ancient and honorable guild of
the BARRIERS may be worth noticing.
Those who think that a barber's pole is
painted red, white and blue IN respect
to the national colors, viii please find
themselves corrected. In Mr.. J. Cordy
JeaffresOn's Book About Doctors, "
we find the following:
Lord ThurlOw, in a speech delivered
IN the House OF Peers, July II, 1877,
opposing the Surgeons Incorporation
bill, said that, "By a statute still IN
force, the BARRIERS and surgeons were
each to use a pole. The BARRIERS were
to have theirs blue and white striped,
with no other appendage; but the sur
geons', which was the same IN other
respects, was likewise to have a galIpOt
and a red rag to denote the particu-
lar nature of Heir vocation. The
reason why the surgeons pole was
adorned with a line Of blue, red
and white, winding around its length
in a regular serpentine progression,
was this: The blue represented the We
nous blood, the more brilliant color the
arterial, and the white was symbolic of
the bandage used IN tying up the arm
after Withdrawing the Ggature. The
stick itself is a sign that the operator
possesses a stout staff foIshis patients
10 hold, accelerating the flow Of blood
by the muscular action Of the arm.
The phlebOtamist's staff Is of great an
tiquity. 10 is to be found amongst hls
properties in an Illuminated missal of
the time Of Edward l., and IN an en-
craving Of the Comment Orbls
PictUs.'
