at is Il habit of mine, many people
say, in excuse for any peculiarly OF
custom. This class is very numerous,
and belong to such inferior characters
that they are often found tripping. If
an occasion present itself when the doing
of the "habit" is ~incOnvenient, straight
way they ignore it altogether. Again,
some people will stick to their habit,
right or wrong, convenient OF inconven-
lent, and of course punish themselves by
so doing. 1t not seldom happens that
they will ~obstinately persist III doing a
deed that everything on earth-perhaps
V G in heaven-rises IN phalanx after
phaIanx to thwart and prevent. Such
people need to be reminded Of Il higher
power than their own will. Almost in
yariably they are forswOrn, and suffer
bitterly from the fuItillment. Then
there are people who have ridiculous
habits-mOSt innocent and most laugh
able. Such was the case Of Il gentleman
who went in or nursery 10y the name of
Mr.. Tiddydol. He gained this name
because he invariably ended every sen-
tence with the ummeaning and ridiculous
word "Tiddydol." Even those who
were accustomed to him could hardly
help smiling-sO incessant was his use OF
the word, so unconscious was Mr.. Tiddy-
dol OF ever saying it. An instance of a
similar habit occurred III the case of an
old Welsh Clergyman, who had a fashion
Of interlarding each sentence with the
phrase, "Complete and do it," Such
peculiar habits are of course very rare,
and therefore worthy of special notice.
Some people get into the habit of SO rul-
ing their lives that they are quite put
out, bodily and mentally, if there is the
least failure in the fultillment of this
routine. These are slaves to their hab-
its, and DO not III the end derive as much
comfort as they expect from them, be
cause they are certain to iostle against
some II else equally Il slave to his hab,
1t is a very agreeable thingt to meet with I
person who says, with hearty self-satls-
faction, sit is my habit to be pumctual.

TIE UJChEDEST BOY.
The youth of Missouri are apparently
very precocious, as shown by the follow
ing correspondence of the Scdalia DEM
Ocrat:: "Pomeroy Bleeding, a son of
Mr.. f. L. Bedding, living in Cambridge,
No, was detected last "Wednesday III an
attempt to murder his father, mother,
and brother-in-law. Mr.. Bleeding is one
of the wealthiest and most popular men
in the State, and being DESTROYS of giving
his son a good education, sent him to
Fayette, Mo-, a small place, where he
thought he would not get the oppor-
tunity of practicing his accustomed ras-
cality. After Pomeroy had been there
for a few weeks his father went to visit
him, and found that he had gotten deeply
in debt, and was engaged to be married
to a young lady who had broken off an
engagement for that purpose. Mr.. Beed-
ing, thinking this was the wrong life for
a school-boy to lead, took him home.
The boy wished to marry, but he had no
money, and had no means OF getting
any, and he was not of age so he deci-
ded to kill his father, mother, and
brother-in-law, who constituted the
family. To do this he tried to get Mr..
Stanton, n man of not the best reputa-
ton, to assist him. He told Mr.. Stanton
he would give him $500 for the job,
saying he could get a man in st. Louis
for 500, but was afraid the st. Louis
man would kill the wrong persons. Mr..
Stanton told Pomeroy to meet him in a
Lighthouse on n certain night, and they
would proceed from there to commit the
deed. Mr.. Stanton had no idea of keep
ing his promise, but told Mr.. Bleeding Of
his sons designs. Thinking that the
father would not believe him, Mr.. STAN
ton got two men to accompany him to
the Lighthouse as witnesses. After they
had arrived there PomerOy commenced
telling Stanton the details of the work.
Just then the men from underneath came
III, grabbed him, and took him to his
father. Mr.. Bleeding had him horse
whipped, gave him a draft for $50, and
discarded him. Pomeroy went to Glas-
gov, got his draft paid, sent for his
trunk, and went to st. Louis, since which
time nothing has been heard from him."
"GE4SS TIDOT."
Judge Turple has been reading
a paper to the ''Fiat Lux" Society
on the origin of the phrase ''grass
widow" or "grace widow" for the
first has no foundation, in fact, and is
simply a barbarism, or fungus, which
has attached itself to the English Ian
g1age. ''Grace widow" is the term of
one who becomes a widow by grace of
favor, not of necessity, as by death, and
originated in the early ages of European
civilization, when divorces were granted
but seldom and wholly by authority of
the Catholic Church. When such de-
cree was granted to a woman the Papal
receipt stated 'Viduca de gratia, which
interpreted is "widow of grace In the
law of the French it would read, "Neuve
de grace" which in English gives
"widow of grace" or "grace widow"
{ veuve" being translated as "widow.'

Nor Report rsom ,ho Black HIS

from me Colorado T-ulscripL)
Frank Z. Worth. OF Golden, and
Charles Jones, a California minerand
prospector, returned from the Black
Hills country on Saturday, after a
nine days exploration or the forbid
den land. The following shows the
incidents Of the trip:
Question. Where did you start
from and at what date?
Answer. From Il point on the
North Platte, below Fort Laramie,
on the End Of May.
Q.Did you meet any troops on
your way in?
A. No. We started in the night
and managed to escape them, owing
to the smallucss of our party. .
q. Did you meet any hostile In
dians inside the reservation?
A. The second day IN we met a
band Of about thirty. They ordered
us out, and watched US all II day to
see that we went out.
q. How did you manage to escape
the Indians?
A. We got away from them in the
night, and took a northwest course
into the mincra! country.
q. Where did you first discover
indications Of gold OF silver?
a. We madp II two days march
into the country before we com
menced to prospect. We then pros
pected several gulchcs without nc
cess, but the fourth day in we found
three good silver leads, and sank on
n of them about ten feet.
q. How wide is the vein, and what
Is the nature of the ore?
A. The vein we sunk on is a foot
in width, and the ore is of a blush
color, carrying iron pyrites and some
gold. The wall rock on one side is a
Hnkish Granite-on the other it is a
softr decompOscd rock, which is pro-
badly hard further down.
Q. Did you find any mineral con-
tanning free gold in any quantity?
A. The only gold we found was a
little we panucd out in a guIch, about
five 'colors' to the pan.
q. What led your party to leave
the country"
a. The snow. va, melting so fast
that 1t hooded the guIches, and pre-
vented further prospecting for gold.
Besides, our stock Of grub" was ex-
hausted, and the Indians made their
appearance too often for comfort.
Q. Do you intend to 90 back, and
what do you think of the prospect
for pay?
@. We intend to go back sometime
inJune. The prospect for paying
silver mines is good, provided means
are supplied for working the ores.
The gulch mines might pay well if
thoroughly prospected.
Q. How did you manage to get
out?
y. During the night Of the nth
we made the North Platte, near the
road to the Red Cloud Agency. 1t
took us about three days from where
we prnspCctcd TO complete the jour-
hey. The distance being about eighty
miles.
Q. Did you meet any parties going
in? ..H
A. Yes. We met several parties
on the roud between Cheyenne and
the river. The troops stationed at
the latter point will be apt to stop
them until the country is opened,
unless they escape the troops and
steal in during the night. -r..
Q. Do you know the or To-
cality Of the guich where you found
the gold prospects?
y. No. But 1 was told in Chey-
enne that it is Gustav Gulch. Our
silver mines 9ra in the Same locality
