(Mlnn.), bearing date of Jannry Oath,
says Special dispatches from Bismarck

Hills country. A party carrying the
mails between Bismarck and the Black

Inc report is vouched for as thoroughly
trustworthy. Twelve thousand men are
now IN that portion of the Black Hills
through which Rapid Creek runs. The
average dlg5ings were s. an hour to each
mar, and they saw $l27 taken out in six
hours by four men. The next day the
same force in the same time took out
sll2. California Joe, a person of re-
nown among gold miners. saw S37 taken
out OF one pan. there being one nugget
worth $40. All the returning parties
brought specimens of gold Of splendid
quality. They all agree in their state
ments with regard to the beauty and
richness of the country, and Custar s re-
port was not exaggerated A large party

THE San Francisco Chronicle pictures
the time when the abundance of gold
and silver will make those articles value
less, and says
Everybody can have silver candlesticks
and gold spoons; but for money as cir
culating medium, as standard of value,
we shall be compelled to use wampum or
shells, or 60 back to some of the earlier
and ruder forms of money. Then labor
will be wealth then intellect will tell
again then land will be the true meas
ure of mans riches. for the earth and
Gods acres are about the only things
that are out Of the reach of imitation or
over production.

SENATOR PIERsoN has introduced a bill
amending the divorce law, providing that
adultry alone shall be cause for divorce
The Senator's bill should be defeated
There are other causes that should be
equally strong grounds for divorce with
the one ne has singled out. Men and
women seeking marriage are apt to "pnt
the best foot forward" to accomplish the
OBJECT, concerning their character. which
are only learned after marriage is con-
ssummated. Why should woman who

ACTING under instructions from Rome.
the Apostolic Vicar of the Herzegovina
lately proceeded to the headquarters of
the insurgents to summon those who
were Catholics to lay down their arms.
The Bishop was received by Lubobratic,
the insurgent chief, who addressed him
thus II ought in reply to thy strange
demand to send back thy head to the
Holy Father, but permit thee to live.
Go tell him who sent thee that if the
Pope is for the Turk the Cross is for us.
Is he the descendant of those who
preached the : sade ? Away with thee

The Bishop, it is said, lost no time to
jump into his saddle and he disappeared

PLEADING FOR FATHER President
Grant it appears is the victim of wo-
mans fascinations. A young lady in
Washington obtained position for her
father the other day through the COM
bined Influences of heryouth and beauty.
She is a pretty. round-eyed blonde, with
waving light hair and delicate coloring.
She went to the President and said: "I
have come to ask You TO give my father
something to do. His mental labors
have been so ardnous that his mind is
somewhat effected, and he has been
obliged to discontinue everything of that
nature and in fact has nothing to do"
Il have often seen you," replied the
President. smiling on the youthful appli-
cant. : and I will try and see what / can
do for your father. but would like you
to write me letter asking me this fa-
vor." The delighted maiden did as re-
quested and received letter from the
President. appointing her father to po-
sition which, while remunerative, did not
require unnecessary mental offort The
President looks very kindly on young
girls and seems to have quite number
of fayorites among them.

The Yokohama, Japan, Herald relates
a remarkable occurrence which shows
that some of the japanese have an extra
ordinary capacity for withstanding the
effects of fiery potations. An Osaka man
offered prize to anyonewho would drink
one sho-one quart, one pint and one
half gill of certain native liquor about
as strong as spirits of wine. A coolie
performed the feat but died the same day
from the effects of it. They buried him
in shallow grave, and about midnight
the next day the earth absorbed the liquor
from his well-soaked body, as he woke
up from his debauch. Pushing off the
light soil that covered him, he rose from
his grave in white shroud, and startled
some robbers near by who were counting
and dividing their money. They took
the strange apparition for ghost, and
ran off in dismay. The coolie picked up
the cash and reported to his wife the
same night, sadder but richer man than
he was before his spree.

faults2 Because there is no real proteo-
ton for landed property and the products

is divided into two kinds-the temporal
and the spiritual, the former belonging
to the Sultan and the latter TO the
mosques. There is no such thing in
Turkey as really free landed properly

FIRE LAST NIGHT.

.|L.. -
The Wedding GneSis r Startled by
the FIRE Fiend.
Lat night a bridal party was indulg-
ing in a supper and other enjoyments at
the residence of Mr.. Edward Kathriner,
on Second street, between Adams aud
Washington, and adjoining the Baptist
Church, The building--an old two-story
d1uble-frsme te~nement--was occupied
at one end by Prof Q. Melnecke, a well.
known musician, aud by Edward Ka-
thriner At the other. While the happy
compile and the wedding guests were at
the supper table, about 3 o'clock, a FIRE
broke out in the partition between the
two tenements and in a few seconds the
flames burst through the roof The fire
started in the part of the building occu-
pied by Prof. Melnecke. The Adams
street fre-boys near by rushed over with
their hose aud threw q torrent Of water
into and through the building, which
soon extinguished the flames. The
greater portion of the roof was destroyed
aud the upper story was considerably
damaged. That portion of the teuement
occupied by Mr.. Kathriner was injured
by water, and a little by FIRE. When the
alarm was given, CONSERVATION reigued
among the wedding party, and all 6ed
from the house, the bridegroom taking
charge of the bride, and carrying her to
a place Of safety. During the confusion
incident to the fire, the supper.table was
swept of everything by 4 lot of negroes
and others who appeared to be carrying
out and saving furniture. When the FIRE
had been suppressed, the wedding party
reassembled in the tenement, and another
feast was enjoyed by the happy couple
aud their friends, who were no to be sup
pressed by q FIRE. Prof. Melrecke lost q
valuable fiddle during the confusion, suC
it is believed to hAvs been burned up By
the flames, or probably had been carried
off by some musicloving thief. The
building is owned by r, Q. Brinkley, anC

How Old Bennet Won his Case

IL Alexander b. Stephens should be
at home and his mind not absorbed by
public affairs, the visitor will find in
him oue of the best and most prolific
anecdotists of the day.
One story-alss that he canno sit in
the types to tell itl-is the Peter Bennett
speech. A DR.. Reyston, doubtless a
most excellent man, had sued Mr.. Ben
net, a farmer, forhis bill. Little Aleck.p
as Alexander is magni6ed by his friends,
told his client, Peter B, that the case of
service and its value were proved agsins:
him in legal form and there was no real
defense, But the old farmer insisted
that his lawyer should speak to the
case Mr.. Stephens told him that h.
ought to speak himself if he thought a
speech could be made, and was surprised
by the retort, Il will, if Bobby Toombs
won't be too hard on me-" Mr.. Toombs
promised and Peter Bennett began:
Gentlemen OF the jury, | amt no
lawyer and no doctor, and you amt
nutber. And if we farmers don't stick
together, these here lawyers and doctors
will get the advantage of US. | amt no
objections to lawyers and doctors in
their place, and some is clever men, but
they amt farmers, gentlemen of the

men Of the jury. | don't believe he's
no doctor, no way. There's doctors as
| know is doctors, sure enough, but this
amt no doctor at all"
This was evidently telling, aud DR..
Royston put in with, Look at nv d.
ploma, and see If | an not a doctor"
His diplomat said the n~ew-hedged
orator, with great contempt. THAT
amt no'hin', for n. piece OF paper ever
made a doctor yet"
ASK my patients" shouted the new
furious physician.
This was the conventional straw that
seemed to break the back of the orator
patience. Ask your p%atients?' he
said in slow and mournful elaboration.
Ask your ~patients2 Why, THRY'RE
ALL DEAD" Then, in rapid declams-
ton, he named case after case, well
known, but mostly among the negro ser
wants of his %neighbors, where his oppo-
nent had treated them and their owners
buried them, aud continued: ASK
your patientsl Why, l would have to
seek them in the lonesome churchysrd,
aud rap on the silent tomb to get answers
from the dead. You know they can't
say nothin' to this case, for you've killed
them allr' The applause closed the
speech, and The defendant won his case.
