MOODY AND SANKEY

Are mot the sensation they were when
they began. You can gel into the Rink
now, without the slightest trouble aud un-
occupied seats begin To shrw. Sull the
Evangeisls keep up their etfrts with as
much vigor as ever. and the religious er-
ment of Brooklyn seem to be in no wise
discouraged. While their SUCCESS is not
what was anticipated, there can be IL"
question that they have accomplished great
good. They have succeeded IN awakening
the protesting ChrisIia us to a more keen
sense of their duty, they have brought back
backsliders and have alarmed thousands
Of sinners. The requests for prayers come
from every State in the Union. Moody's
method is peculiar. He selects subject
tor each meeting, and compels the attention
Of the audience to that one subject, and
nUhing else. For instance the other morn
:ng, the subject was Love" Frequently
good brother, in the course Ofhis remarks
would get at some other phase of Christian
experience, bu: the moment he did ST.
Moody would bring him hack. He had
to talk of "Lovc'' or nothing. They now
hold five meetings each day.

News from the Black Hills.

Witcher and Gordon, two members az
the party which left Sioux City for the
Black Hills In October last, have returned
10 tilat place for achievements am sun-
pines. The story OF their adventure. a.
related on their return, l. as folIows
The expedition was composed OF twenty
seven men and one lady aud her son
There were six wagons. The party were
well armed and supplied with provisions
and mining tools. Tie expedition left
Sioux City October q; struck the Niobrara
about 10 miles above its mouth and fol-
lowed that stream some distance. then
struck across the country 10 q point east
OF the Black Hills, on the Cheyenne River
Met party OF 200 mounted Indians, and
held peaceable parley with them. After
reaching pass at the foot of the hills
they struck into the mountains, and. after
picking their way, reached a point within
two miles Of Harney's Peak In fifteen DAYS
from the date OF their entry into the hills
They erected stockadc eighty feet
long and built log cabins from the
abundant timber. They found that
cold weather greatly impeded
their prospecting. They sunk twenty
five prospecting holes and struck gold In
every instance, from grass to bedrock
They found numerous gold and silver
bearing quartz lodes, and some specimens
that Mr.. Witcher has brought back are
pronounced very rich. The party never
saw an Indian while in the hills. Witch.
er describes the parts of the hills they saw
rs having magnificent valleys, seemingly
limitless forests of pine, abundance of elk.
deer and other game. The greater por-
ton OF the return trip was made through
snow drifts, over trackless country. In
most stormy And severe weather. They
discovered in coming out of the hills a
good natural road that shortens the wav
out by thirteen days. Their animals hv,d
on grass they found beneath the snow.
Witcher says he can tax, loaded ox-teams
into the hills from Sioux City in thirty
days. The members left in the hills are In
good health and spirits. There is no evil
dence Of other parties being in the hills.
Nothing was heard or seen Of the two dis
astrous army expeditions sent out to in
tercept them.
