Late dispatches from the Black Hills estimate the number of mi ners scattered throughout the hills from 500 to 1,e0O. Gold has been found in large and paying quantities and an abundance of water with q fine fall has been discovered along Spring and Rap i'd creeks. Miners are reported to be entering the hills at the rate of twenty per day, and new gulch- cs, ravines and gullies are thick ly and rapidly settled.
 As Sheridan has been unable to fulfill his orders of keeping the miners out we shal! probably soon have another "banditti" procla- nation, and, then "who's afraid"

The Cereal Crops in Europe.

AssS WI $ssA Ol'sS ma A&sAA OY>s
 The Mark Lane Express, in it's weekly review of the corn trade, says: "The cereal crop just reaching maturity has been saved by the fine weather. We may yet have moderate harvest in good order. The upward move ment has stopped, and prices have relapsed, partly in consequence of foreign arrivals, which are unusu ally free, but current rates scarce ly reach the average, and are still below those of Hast year. The har- vest in France is progressing rap idly, but general reports indicate less than fair average yield, all though in Paris and Marseilles prices fallen have two shillings. The Belgian and German markets show a similar change.
 Official accounts of the crops in Austria and Hungary show that there is more likelihood of d de ficiency than surplus"

Theodore Hilton commenced writing a book on the day that Judge Nelson delivered his charge to the jury, and has work ed so assiduously that it will be ready for publication by the last of this month. The name of the book is "A Legend" It will make an octave volume of about two hundred and fifty to three hun dred pages. Such rapidity in literary work reminds us of Sir Walter Scott's unpreced ,nted composition of his series of "Tales of my Landlord" which he wrote to clear himself of load of debt,

A Talking Match

the most unique and animated contests known to sporting circles took place the other morning on the accommodation train on the Little Miami Road, going into the city. It was q talking match, projected and arranged between a party of commuters, the champi- ons selected being two of the best takers found on this line of tray cl. One of the parties to the con test resides in the neighborhood of Camp Denison and his antago- mist in the vicinity of Delta Sta tion. It was at the later place the talking match was to open, and close upon entering Miami depot. One pound of raw cod fish minus the bones, and one pound of gin gerbread, were to be eaten between the two, without partaking of wa ter until the terminus was reach en, lots to be drawn, who should eat the cod fish and who the gin gerbread. The Camp Denison men came down the road in high glec, certain ot an easy victory {; but the packers of the Delta man were sanguine their champion would seriously cripple the for mer if he did not sncceed in talk ing him to death. Delta Station is reached. Now comes the tug of war. The Conductor waves his hand to the engineer and the train moves. The combatants shake hands, one scat is reversed, bringing the two men face to fac e and an umpire is seated beside the Camp Denison man. The pound of cod fish is drawn by Della, and Camp Dcnison is given an equal weight in dry ginger bread, the last mouthful of which was to be swallowed by the time the terminus was reached. Now, IS0 words to the minute is con sidered high pressure, and it is only press reporters who can fol low tongues thus oiled. Pendlc- ton station was reached in three minutes; Delta got 250 words, Camp Denison 200. Here big swallow of gingerbread and cod fish is taken. We halt at Tor renee Road, find three minutes consumed, with the following re suit: Camp Denison 240, Delta 300. This was an extraordinary feat for both men, considering the drawback of codfish and glnger- bread. In two minutes we are at Woodburn, and Camp Denison tallies 15O, and Delta 100. The result showed the depressing in fiuence of the dry food they had partaken, but Camp Denison ma king desperate effort, crammed down the remaining portion of his ginger bread, and opened up with volley of words at his op- ponent. Time was called on Denison, but Delta was found too far gone to come to the scratch, saving by signs in the deaf and and dumb alphabet, which were ruled out. Camp Denison there after kept mp a ceaseless talk In the face of his speeches. antago- mist, who, as we reached the Mi ami Station, after ten minutes further run, locked after sub ject for a coroner's inquest, and was taken into the nearest drug store for resusitation.

The New York Tribune says The platform of the Minnesota republicans is stronger and more explicit on subjects about which everybody is agreed than in re- gard to some about which there is wide and important difference of opinion. The currency plank, for instance, is not as definite in terms as might fairly be desired, and is not even as outspoken for hard money as was that of the Minnesota democrats on the sub- ject.
