with sulphate OF lime in the crystalline
form OF selenite, or the compact one of
gypsum. A bed of gypsum, pure, white
and soft, tour feet In Thickness, exists on
the Beaver. Iron ore, very rich, Ia the
form OF oxide and silieeous carbonate, is
found in extremely large quantities on
the South Cheyenne river and at the
lower end of Beaver creek, near Its con-
huenee with the Cheyenne. The streams
appear to be of two different
kinds, one rising in the mountains,
having water generally pure and sweet;
the other with sources in the plains or
lower foothills, with water 80 saturated
with the various salts lisciviated from
| the soil as to be almost poisonous as @
beverage. The grass is ordinarily good,
but many broad patches Of cactus vege-
tation is encountered. Timber In abun-
dance is to be had on all the streams ex-
cept the Niobrara. From what can be
Judged of the Black Hills now, it would
seem to be q succession Of beautiful
parks and mountain ranges clad with
heavy pine timber.
The effect Of the Pixies Peak gold fever
of 1S59-60 was to develop the region of
country lying between the foot of the
Rocky Mountains and the Missouri river
until tirst-class cities, excellent farms,
handsome residences, and1nonster herds
of cattle are to be found in the region
which but for the Pixies Peak gold fever
might have been nearly as wild and un-
known as was the Black Hills region a
year ago. Many fortunes were made in
the gold mining of 1860 and 1851, but they
were comparatively few and Of little i'm
portance when put alongside of the ben
eft which has accrued from the opening
up Of this fine stock raising country
along the foot of the Rocky Mountains,
and eastward all over what was form
erly known as 'the Plains" and sup
posed to be utterly worthless.
A large proportion Of the country thus
designated was thought worse than
worthless, but has proved highly valua-
BILE for agriculture and stock raising, and
the "Great American Desert" is now
a myth.
The probabilities are that the Black
Hills gold excitement will result very
similarly. Prof. Jenney reports that in
places there seems to be sufficient gold
to warrant mining, and that miners may
probably make from IS to Sis per day in
many of the river beds. This, should the
Government succeed in purchasing the
country from the Indians, will draw
large numbers of gold seekers thither,
who will require food and other neeessa-
ries, and the result will be, as in other
eases, a permanent establishing of bust
ness, and through i. the development of
the agricultural and mineral resources
OF the entire country. The region is un-
doubtedly we'll worthy of development,
and will prove attractive when thorough
ly explored, and from present appear
ances it would seem likely that while
hundreds will grow rich in the mines, in
its rivers and hills, thousands will be-
come SO by gathering in the gold to be
won by the more certain and pleasant
methods of agriculture and stock grow
ing and a general and healthful develop
ment of the country.

GoID IN THE. BLACH HILLS.

That every man who is willing to work
earnestly and faithfully may find gold OF
its equivalent in abundance in the Black
Hills region is beyond a doubt. Prot
Jenney has made pretty thorough ex.
ploration of the region, and in recent
letter says:
1t was truly said of this region that
there was gold in the very roots of the
grass, but it is not the gold of grave
bars or quartz lodges, not the gold oi
the miner or geologist.
In other words, the present appear
ances indicate that while there is con
siderable gold in the Black Hills, the
benefit to be accrued from it's discovery
will be, as was the case with the Pixies
Peak gold excitement, as great in the
result of developing the agricultural and
stock-raising qualities and other mineral
resources of the country as in the actual
amount of gold dug from its rivers and
gold mines.
The Black Hills region consists OF two
distinct varieties of land. One is known
as the ssbad lands" series Of hills des.
titute of vegetation and composed of clay
aafd chalk, varying from white tored and
dark brown in color; intermixed with
FOSSILS of different varieties; the other a
country stretching away from the foot Of
the hills, abounding in beautiful plains,
splendid forests, running streams Of
crystal water and untold quantities OF
game and everything to invite the agri.
culturist and stock grower. Concerning
it the Alta California says:
} The term "Black Hills" is understood
by many persons, especially those who
made the trip across the continent by
way Of the South Pass before the DAYS OF
railroads, to mean small district south
OF Platte River; but q similar formation
is found several hundred miles to the
northward. Excellert water, fine tim.
ber, good grass and inspiring scenery
are found, back of which rise ponderous
red sandstone cliffs to D height, deter
mined by barometer, of over 1000 feet
above the stream below. Game in plenty
Is to be found in the vicinity. The coun
try between the North Platte River
and the foot of the Black Hills
wast at some early geological age
the bed OF vast sea, which, in reced
ing, left the ground covered with vast
Accumuiati0ns OF various kinds OF ma

ulttes and some und described species

ART OF DRESS IN toNoREss.-Take
congressman as class, probably they
are as badly dressed set of men as one
can find anywhere in the country. Two
of the best dressed are Clarkson Potter,
of New York, III the House, and in the
Senate, Gen. Burnside. Clarkson Pot
ter adheres closely to the English style
of dressing. His whiskers are cut af-
ter the English fashion, and he affects
the English style of pronunciation.-
Yet there are but few men in the House
who are his equals in ability and capa-
city for work. General Burnside, the
best dresser in the Senate, affects the
undress military style, and in his pecu-
liar cravats, waistcoats, and original
colors never fails to attract more than
ordinary notice. He was once n tailor
in his early days, and bis training tells
for him in many nice points of art
which escape other men. Among the
worst dressed men in either branch of
Congress is S. S.Cox. He always wears
a bobtail sack coat. and bobtail sack
coat never fails to damn a little man.
His clothes would not bring over seven
dollars and half in any auction store
in the country. There was only one
man in the last House who was a worse
dresser than Cox, and that was Crutch-
field, of Tennessee. Crutchfield is rough
mountaineer, who never wore a collar or
shaved himself oftener than once a week
ANDY Johnson's dress was Of the old
school style of politician of some twen-
tv wears ago, with but one modern con-
cession, and that was that the coat was
frock instead of swallowtail. His
style of dress, the conventional one Of
the American gentleman" Of the years
gone by, consisted of shiny black
broadcloth coat and trousers, with vest
of deep black velvet. Speaker Blaine
affects the double breasted frock. He
generally wears two buttons buttoned,
and allows the rest of the coat to roll
so as to show very neat shirt. The
double breasted frock coat has grown
in favor with the better order Of Con-
gressmen during the last few years
The beauty of this coat is that when it
is closely buttoned it gives a man a very
compact appearance that never fails to
impress loosely dressed crowd. There
is n dignity about a closely -buttoned
double breasted frock coat that can lie
found in no other article of a mans
wardrobe Fernando Wood would lose
nine-tenths of his impressive dignity
were he TO put on a sack coat tand lounge
about in n way assumed by some of his
Western brethren. He always wears a
long black coat that buttons tightly up
to his throat. He looks as if he were
melted down every night and run into
bis clothes every morning. He is al
ways easy IN his manners, however, and
in this respect is, indeed, quite con-
trast to most who make point of dress.
OF the hats worn by the statesmen Of
the period, the slouch nearly always
have the preference. The Western and
Southern members nearly all wear this
style.
