THE BLACK HILLS.
Dispatch from Prof. Jenney-Go1d Finally
Discovered in Paying Quantities.

Dispatch from Prof. Jenney-G@ld Finally
Discovered in Paying QuaDt5ties.
An important dispatch from Prof.
Jenney was received at the interior De-
partment, i'm Washington, a few days
ago. It is dated Camp on Spring
Greek, Black Hills, Dakota, July II. !"
Prof. Jenney says
CT have discovered gold In paying
quantities in gravel bars, both on Spring
and Rapid creeks, from twenty to- thirty
miles northeast Of Harney's Peak. The
deposits are the richest yet found in the
Hills, and are faRorably situated. There
is a good head of water in the streams,
amply sufficient for working purposes.
The gold is derived from quartz Lodges
of enormous dimensions in a belt of
clay, slate and quartz. It is twenty
miles in width, crossing the Hills IN
northwesterly direction. At this point
the clay from the bed of the stream
near the camp yields from four to, eight
cents to the pan, and several pieces
about the value Of one dollar have been
found by the soldiers. am engaged III
prospecting the value and extent Of the
region. About 200'miners have deserted

They are pouring into the Hills fron all
directions, and Offer me every assistance
in prospecting the country. But no
matter how good the mines may be, the
future great wealta of the Black Eills
will be it's grass lands, farms and tim
Der. The soil is deep and fertile, and
the rainfall greaten and more regular
than that Of any region west of the Allie
ghany Mountains. !"
The Secretary OF the Interior imme-
diately sent a copy ST the dispatch tothe
President. The Secretary states, that
the government will use all means at it's
command to keep every unprivileged
person out of the mining district until
the negotiations nav pending SHALL be
consummated. As soon as course OF
action is decided upon, the Sioux Conn
missioners will be notified.

Five in the Fea-srtel1..

Five peas sat in a pea-shell. They
were green, and the shell was green.
Therefore they thought that the whole
world was green-in which opinion, they
were about right. The shell grew. and
the peas grew too. They could accom-
modate themselves very we'll TO, their
marrow house, and sat very happily to-
gether, all five in row.. The sun shOne
outside and warmed the shell. The rain
made it so clear that you could see
bhrough it. It was warm and pleasant
IN there, clear by day and dark by night,
Just as it should be. The five peas grew
very fast, and became more Intelligent
the older they were.
ssShall always be- compelledi to sin
here2" said one Of the peas; "*l really
ann afraid that shall get hard fnom sit
ting constantly. ] do believe strange
things are going on outside Of our she'll
as well as in here"
Weeks passed Oh and the peasbecane
yellow, and the shell grew yellow too.
HsAIl the world is yellow IL said they.
And we cannot blame them, under the
circumstances, foa' the exclamation.
One day their house was struck as If by
| lightning. They were torn offby some
body's hand, and were put into a coat
pocket which had been nearly filed with
peas.
"Now there Is going to- be an end of
u.s." they sighed to one another, and
| began to prepare themselves for the
cbAnge. 'Bgt If we live, [ would like

said the smallest, but the largest one re-
piled, "Let come what viii, I am
ready"
Knack! the shell burst, and all five
rolled out IN the bright sunshine. Soon
they lay in a little boys hand. He held
them fast, and said they would be ex-
cellent for his little gun. Almost i'm
mediately they were rolled down the
barrel Of his shotgun. Out again they
went into the wide world.
"Now I am flying out into the wide
world Catch me If you can y 80 said
one, and he was very soon out of sight.
The second one said g I am going to
fly UP into the sun. He is a charming
shell, and would be just about large
enough for me-" and off he few.
Wherever we go, we are going to
bed,' said two others. And they hit the
roof of great stone house, and rolled
down on the ground.

high up, but came down against the bal
cony window of an old house, and

moss closed up, and there lay the PEE

said, as it lay there. A poor woman
lived in the room back OF the balcony
window. She spent the whole day in
making little toys of wood and shells,
which was her way of getting little
money. She had good strong body,
but nevertheless she was very poor
widow, and the prospect was that she
would always be one. In that little
room lived her half-grown, delicate
daughter. A whole year she had been
living there, and seemed as if she could
neither live nor die.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.


Mr.. Btsll-frog gave supper,
And babe his friends to the feast,
From the lower world and the upper
Fish, insect, bird, and beast.
The table was spread by the river
On gently sloping ground:
To the water guests ran if ever
They heard an alarming sound.
The minnows came by the dozens,
The turtles came one by one,
The frogs brought their aunts and cousins
But the pater-fat came alone.
Each guest had his seat allotted

And little tield-moUse trotted

They ate every cress and berry,

And rousing three times three.

NEARLY every State has a candidate
for Speaker of the Forty-fourth Con-
gress. and while each one wants its own
elevated, there is much talk about the
location FROM which the successor of
Mr.. Blaine should be chosen. Kentucky
held the position sixteen years through
the services of Henry Clay, John White
and Linn Boyd. Next, Virginia was
represented for thirteen years by Philip
p. Barbour, Andrew Stephenson, +. M.
T. Hunter, John w. Jones and George
w. Hopkins. Massachusetts had four
Speakers, serving ten years-Theodore
Sedgwick, Joseph B. Varnum, Robert
G. Winthrop and Gen. Banks. Indiana
had two-John w. Davis, two years, and
SCHUYLER Colfax, six - covering eight
years. Pennsylvania has given two,
Frederick A. Muhlenberg and Galusha
A. Grow, and wants to add another,
Samuel j. Randall. New Jersey gave
Vim. Pennington, and North Carolina
Nathaniel Macon. Although the list il
incomplete, it will show the fields from
which the majority of Speakers have
been chosen.

THE long contest in Michigan Tor the
admission of homeopathy to instruction
in the medical school of the State Uni

closed by the establishment of two
homeopathic professorships and the APP
preparation of Sc, 900 by the Legislature
to paw salaries. The law requiring the
giving Of homeopathic instruction was
passed just twenty years ago, but has
been contested by the Regents of the
University at first, on the ground that
the Regents were supreme III such mat
ters, in regard to which the Supreme
Court of the State was evenly divided !;
second, on the ground of the lack OF
funds. But, tho funds having been sup
