drop down with heavy thump into
a woman's lap. This would be objected
to here, not so much because OF the I'M
propriety OF the man sitting in such a
place, but because OF the coarseness Of
such position.
For the same reason there Is no low
comedian, as in English-speaking coun-
tries. The drunken buffooner OF "Tood-
les" would not amuse, nor the maudlin
drUlleries Of "Diggory." The pulling
away OF a chair from a person as he sits
down would hardly meet with approval
in theater Of the Barriere. The Gallo
spectator demands an exhibition OF the
pretty and the graceful in speech, ac-
tion, and decoration, and in these lie is
as exacting as he is Indifferent in the
moral features.-Albert Rhodes, in the

Our Exposition Commission, through
3 special committee from our most
prominent citizens, are making prepara-
fstions for an unusual display OF native
eres and iron manufactures. No de-
partment Of manufacture Is more
worthy Of careful and thorough atten-
zion, and the prompt and energetic work
Of the committee in preparation for the
display shows their appreciation of the
fact. New countries naturally develop
their mineral resources slowly, but the

The assassination Of the President of
the Republic of Equador-announced ed in

most of them will return. The wealth
of the Black Hills does not lie in It's min

rich, fertile valleys and green hills for
pasturage and enormous forest OF pine

A small shower OF rain comes daily,
and with vegetation all around seeming
to strive for the ascendancy in yigor and
luxuriance. The blankets in our tents
and clothing in our luggage seem free
from dampness. The scenery is Of the
most superb grandeur. In fact the Black
Hills compare to an oasis in the desert,
rendered doubly enchanting by the pas
sage OF The dry, burning, desolate,
windy, barren country to reach it. To-
day heard the profer Of bet that in
four years the Black Hills would have a
population Of bO, ,000 Inhabitants. Be this
as it may, the settlement of the Black
Hills is but question of time-Indian

Our. planters ought to be careful to

means OF supplying them. About many

where the good housewife drops her lye

The returns are not in, but enough is
known to pretty accurately indicate
that the call for a Constitutional Con-
yentfon in Kentucky was voted down by
the people. The present instrument is
not by any means perfect, butts perhaps
rs good as one that would be made to
supersede it, and the result was in all
probability the best that could have oc-
CURED. Most Of that which is objected
to in the present Constitution is more
the fault of the laws passed under it
than of the instrument itself. The last

the voters Of the State. With these
restrictions the men who are hungering
and thirsting for first-class job Of con-

waiting some time. There are many, and
some important, changes that might be
made in the fundamental laws Of the old
Commonwealth, but the propriety of

We have "A word Of advice to give
all persons in ar1 about Cheyenne
anxious to reach the Black Hills. 1t is
this: Do not rush OF madly. Go
slowl There nre thousands upon
thousands Of people anxious to go
there and into Northern Wyoming,
who want to be assured thut their
presence in that country will beNpro-
tccted by the United States troopsif
necessary. The government is now
engaged in an effort to obtain from
the Indians Il CessIun Of all their claims
to Northern Wyoming and the Black
Hills. There is every prospect that it
will be Successful IN treating with
the Indians who claim that country.
by the first of May perhaps this will
be effected. Then the country will lie
opened from tie Big Horn River to
the FORTS of the Big Cheyenne. Let
nothing be done hat Will retard or
Interfere with this result. The time
will be short until this is an accom-
plishcd fact.
In tie meantime, for a month or so,
parties here and arriving here can go
into camp, if they cannot find or do
not want employment; or they can
prospect the Black Hills south of the
North Platte River, between Laramie
Peak and the Metcalf Mining District,
on Crow Creek. This region abounds
in copper. silver and gold lodes, some
of which are pretty rich. Perhaps
they can very profitably spend their
time in looking over this region for a
month or two.
1t will be better and wiser for all, to
do nothing now to excite the Indians
or change their present humor toward
the government and the white people.
II they cede all the rights which they
claim to Northern Wyoming and the
Black Hills, then the government will
be Bound to afford protection to the
lives and property of all white settlers
that may go into that section.

supper, they ceased wondering.
Once upon a time there was another

wondered thereat for u time, but soon
it became known hat he could not
get it, and their wondering ceased.
