THE BLACK HILLS.

Reports from the Black Hills lately are
not generally calculated to excite a mi
pratory fever in that direction. General
Merrille, OF Sberidan's Headquarters at
Chicago, who has Just returned from a
tour among the COLORADO Elevations, b"
says the reported richness of the country
is gross exaggeraiioD, which has been
industriously circulated by transporta-
ton companies and others equally inter-
ested in promoting heavy influx Of i'm
migration for their own benefit. The
General states that there appears to be
very little gold, provisions are very high
and absolute starvation is staring hun
dreds in the face.
The Eureka Sentinel recommends the
following antidote for the Black Hills
fever:
There is gentleman stopping at tho
California Lodging-house, on North
Main street, who is direct from the Black
Hills, having left that region one day last
week. He spent two days in Custer City
and was not at all pleased with the out
look. He says business of all kinds is
| SO extremely dull that not a man of the

but all who have been there for any
length OF time are fiat broke. Neither
the saloons nor the gambling tables have
any patrons worthy of mention, which
may be accepted as petty strong evil
dence that "dust" is not SO plentiful as
| some enthusiastic writer's have repre-
scented. As to the mines. they are be-
lieved to be total failure. There is a
little gold in the country, but it sell

ties, and besides the ravines and gulches
are entirely too fiat to admit of the ordin-
airy method of sluice mining. Taken all
in all the gentleman in. question pro-
nounces the Black Hills grand hum

know that he has exchanged 80 unpromis.
ing region for as fourishing town ns
Eureka. Such of our local readers az
may be afflicted with the Black Hills
fever would perhaps do we'll to seek an
interview with the gentleman at the Cali
fornia before taking their departure.
| Ten minutes with him is warranted a
sure cure for the most aggravated case.

THE RAILROAD OLraARcHY.

A very pretty tale comes from Elko.
The Central Pacific Railroad, which
whole souled corporation. like the spouse
Of the celebrated John Gilpin. "has q
frugal mind" pays of its employees in
silver and refuses to take the same kind
OF coinl for freight; that Is. any excess
above the legal limit Of five dollars.
Does not this single fact show the char
actsr Of the men who are controlling this
gigantic monopoly and demonstrate how
utterly false are the arguments Of those
who support 1t. This devil-fsh corpora
ton wraps the whole State Of Nevada in
its paralyzing embrace and devours its
prey at its leisure. This corporation Is
above law. It knows no rule but the
avarics Of those who control it. It has
broken faith with the people and inso.
lently refuses to keep its engagements.
It ds6es the law-making power and re-
fuses to obey the enactments which
brought 1t into existence. It's insolent
defiance Of the laws ia winked at by
fraudulent officials and mercenary legisla-
lures. The peoples officers and legisla-
tors are bought and sold by the Railroad
Company. The paid agents Of the Rail.
road Company are TO be found in tho
Senate OF the United States, in the House
Of Representatives. among the admins
trative officers, in the State Legislature.
In fact. at every point, place and forum
where the interests Of the railroad CON-
panies are involved. We find them in
California-like Jem Farley in the Cali
forniA Senate -gravely assuring the peo-
pie OF this coast that 1t is to their (the
psopls's) interest 10 shut of oil COMPETE
ton by allowing the Central Pacific to own
and build the Southern Pacific SO
~ to head of Tom SCOTS line. We
and the same man and the rest OF the
pack, telling the people, that it is wrong
to control the exactions Of this merciless
law defying corporation. That it is un.
just to put limit upon its extortions,
that 1t is imprudent to prevent it from
absorbing the whole profits of the com.
merce, manufactures, agriculture and
mines Of the Pacific Coast. 1t seems
incredible. that man pretending to re-
present constituency Of the people,
should have the unparalleled audacity
to stand up in his place in the leRisla-
turs and unblushingly assert, that it is
inexpedient to chain the monster which
threatens, like Frankenstein's fiend, to
destroy the being who invoked it. These
railroad rogues say: You must not con-
troll these companies. you must let them
take all the land they please, deprive the
honest settler OF his homestead, charge
what they choose, pay what they think
proper, pay their employees in depreciat.
cd coin and refuse to take it in return,
let them crush out all opposition. ruin
every man. firm or company that dare
oppose them, let them be o power above
the law with none to say Them nay.
Such are the demands OF the railroads
and the arguments Of their hired claquers.
Concsde all this for nothing else will
satisfy them and they might as we'll be
made the oligarchs of the land as well In
name as they will be in fact.

Communication addressed to the Salt

this the Tribune remarks that 1t has not
given due attention to the matter. We
should think not when it compares ex-
port with import duties, and calls duty
on exports a protective impost.

The cotton-seed and commercial manures

AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action IN
the several aSSimilatiye organs OF the
body. and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints OF every
BODY but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best OF
human skill While they produce power
fill effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infiamed-
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing It
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted TO all ages and conditions in
all climates. containing neither calomei
nor anv deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Farming on General Principles.

The London Agricultural Gazette re-
marks: 6 young farmer cannot learn
too early the important lesson that the
profit or loss of particular acts Of hus-
bandry cannot be determined for him on
general principles. He will indeed, do
well to remember the advice Of famous
physician who, on entering a sick cham
Der, Immediately ordered a blister to be
put on the patients head. a young doc
tor, an admirer Of the masters skill
asked him what he had seen at single
glance to justify the blister The reply
was that long lecture would be requir-
ed to expound his reasons fully, since
they we're derived from the close obser-
vations Of symptoms during long expe-
rience. He added in reference to his
rapid insight, ''The patients eve had
something to do with it; but it was not
that alone, so don't 60 and blister an oc-
ciput every time you see an eye" This
is an an illustration of the errors which a
man who farmed on general principles,
with insufficient knowledge Of details,
would be certain to commit. And we
would recommend a course Of practical
observations in the field by every agri
cultural student, in order that he may
avoid such mistakes"

To OBTAIN LIGHT WITHOUT THE Use
OF MATCHES. To obtain light instantly
without matches, and without danger of
setting things on fire, take an oblong
phial of the clearest glass, put into it
piece of PHOSPHORUS about the size of
pea, upon which pour some olive oil,
heated to the boiiing-point, filling the
phial about one-third full, then cork the
phial tightly. To use it, remove the cork
and allow the air to enter the phiai and
then re cork it. The whole empty space
in the bottle will then become luminous,
and the light obtained will be equal to
that of lamp. As soon as the light
grows weak its power can be increased by
opening the phial and allowing fresh
supply of air to enter. In winter it Is.
sometimes necessary TO heat the Phial
between the hands to increase the Auidi
~ of the oil Thus prepared, the phiai
may be used six months. This contri-
vance is now used by the watchmen of
Paris in all magazines where explosive or
inhammable materials are stored.
