The discovery of rich gold mines
in the Black Hills Of Northwestern
Wyoming has directed general at
tcntion To our Territory, and letters
Of inquiry in relation o the climate,
resources, etc. Of our young common
wealth reach this Ofiire daily. As
we have moi the time to pen a reply
to each correspondent, we will at
tempt to answer their queries culIee-
lively by giving 4 general resume of
what may be ronsi tently and truth
fully claimed fur our Territory
CLIMATE. HEALTHFCLNESs.
Wyoming Is a Territory of i'm
mcnss extent and hence must have a
variety of climate. 1t Is a!So a
mountainous region and what i true
Of the climate Of the valley at;sl
plains would not be true OF the
higher elevations; hut, speaking gen
araIly, and with special reference la
the portions already settled and the
portion inviting settlement, we say,
without hesitation, there is not a
finer climate in the world. 1t Is per
fec.ly healthy, the air Is dry, pure
and bracing; there is no nIalaria anu
hence mn ngue occurs here Wyom-
I0k iSffct ifbfu tUt t4NEtutt w htat
and cold, the yearly average temper
AZURE being the same as that OF Ohio
and Indiana. Our winters are
usually warmer and far plpsIsanter
than those OF Illinois or Pennsylva-
mia. Snow rarely falls to any con-
siderable .iepth in the valleys, and
when il does, a warm sun or wind
usually takes it off in n day or two,
so that cattle have abundant grazing
the year round.
RESOURCES.
The special resources OF Wyoming
are stock raising, mining and. in
some portions, agriculture. Furm
lands are Abundant in all the valleys
and when irrigated are not surpassed
for fertility and productiveness. As
to mining, Wyoming has rich depOs-
its of gold, silver, copper, irUn, lead,
and coal Our mines arc, of course,
less developed than those Of the older
Territories, owing to the presence OF
hostile Indians in the richest mining
districts of this Territory. When we
are relieved from the presence of our
red brethren, hat Is when the gov
eminent takes measures to- keep them
on their permanent reservation in
Dakota, the development of our min
lrg interests, especially in the Black
Hills aud Big Horn mountains, will
be ON a scale that Will Surprise the
most sanguine.
Immense tracts of our Territory
ESTIMATED TO cuver $4,000 square
miles) arc underlaid with the finest
coal t q be found west of the Rocky
Mountains, so that Il perpetual supply
of cheap fuel is Il certainty with II
Timber OF good quality IS found in
nearly sillparts Of Wyoming, consist
ing mainly of pine, cedar, hemlOck,
and cottonwood.

A CRAZY DOCTOR's EXTRAORDI-
NARY FREAK

Ellen Case, young woman employed as
a domestic servant in a family at Oakland,
Cal, was attacked By a trivial malady, and
Dr.. Pentack was called in. This Dr. PEN
tack had long been known as an obi man,
full of freaks in professional and social con-
duct, yet he had reputation for skill in the
practice Of medicine, and enjoyed a large
practice. Really he was a maniac, and in
sanely in love with the girl whom he was
summoned to treat. he had made some
advances which she had Tepulsed. The
sight Of her III put the idea into his crazy
head that if he could only get two quarts of
her blood he could construct from it an eX-
act counterpart Of her. This cOun-
teTfsit creation, he supposed, would
be endowed with life, and be in all re-
spects ike the original. BE announced
that It Ould be necessary to bleed the
girl, and he actually let out f.Om her arm
the two quarts that he wanted, taking it
away in pail. The operation was inju-
riOus TO the patient, and nearly killed her.
Another physician was sent for, and, upon
hearing what DR.. PentaCk had done, he
communicated TO the police his belief of
that practitioners insanity. a visit to
Pentack's residence was made at once. He
was found boiling the blood in a kettle,
and mixing various chemicals with it. He
begged to be let alone in his experiment,
declaring that his process was certain to
evolve living woman within a few min
Utes if he was not disturbed. The officers
arrested him, and he is now in an insane
asylum, where he talks about nothing but
his process Of making fac-similes Of human
beings from their blood.

PROF. BACKUS.
A Brief, bat Satisfactory Look Smash
Vile and Her Instituticns-His Ae-
ceptance still a Matter of Doubt

Prof. I. J. Backus, Of Vassar College,
Observation-Disclosures Of the State Normal
School, in course Of organization here, ar
rived from New York and spent yesterday
in Nashville, actively noting the educa-
tional features Of the city and the chances
of success with the normal school. He
called on the Governor, State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction,
and prominent citizens, and Wis
tied the public schools, Vanderbilt
University, the University Of Nashville,
which is to yield to the new normal enter
prise, and other places and was highly
pleased with what he saw everywhere. He
was shown around by the Committee Of
the Board of Trust, and expressed himself
as more than satisfied with the surround
ings, but reserved his decision as to
his acceptance of the appointment which
has been rendered him.
He made a favorable impression on al
whom LIE met, and to conuOiseuTs appeared
every inch a teacher. From limitations
given by him, the trouble about making up
his mind in regard to coming here, was
want Of perfect assurance that the novel
enterprise, to the head of which he is
called, .can be made a perfect success,
He wants to know exactly what
scope will be given him in
making up bis corps Of assistants. It is
thought, however, by the Normal School
Committee that there is little doubt Of his
acceptance. Of our public school system
he said it was a decided attraction 70 him.
The reputation OF Prof. Backus gives this
testimonial weight.
The Professor left for New York at 9P.
II. last night.
