Observation-Disclosures seems to be no abatc-
ment of the remarkable interest aroused ia the
cause of temperance, which seems to be carry

During the week past from forty to fifty per-

plications for admission are as numerous.
On Monday night Mr.. John Kilgour, of
Ioudon county, delivered a temperance lect-
ure in the Baptist Church to 4 very large audi
ence. His lecture was fine effort, evidencing
great research and presenting an appalling ar
ray of whiskey statistics. At its close, Mr.. X.
O. Haines stated that any one desiring to join
the temperance order could do so by repairing
to the Hall. There seems to be a generous III

of'cavaIry and two companies of infantry,
under Gems, Crook and Reynolds, arrive
in the hills, from Fort Fetterman on the
LIST inst.
As to whether there is large Quantity
Of gold In the Black Hills L l. exceed.
ingly doubtful. Some has been found, or
II Is pretended. There is very little
prospecting in progress at this time, the
miners being engaged in erecting cabins
and getting things in readiness for the
search. Chinese laundrymen have ar
rived and have swung out their signs.
Lunch houses and whisky shops are in
abundance, and the hills are alive with
people. Many Of those who were early
on the ground are in 4 sad state Of desti-
tuition, and sqads are besieging Fort
Laramie for food. A hardy old miner
who had Just returned from the hills was
asked whether there was any gold there,
and this was his reply: "If there's any
gold in the Black Hills 1t is so deep in
the bowels Of the earth that the men there
will never find It. In my opinion, all
the gold that will be taken from the hills
will be in the pockets OF the storekeepers,
who have swooped down on the place
like a lot OF vultures. This is mag
nifcent harvest for the hotel keepers and
merchants Ia Cheyenne and Laramie,
and they keep up the excitement" Near
ly all who have returned from the hills
seem satisfied that they have wasted time
and money.

was absent from her residence the other
night, some person or persons entered
therein and stole jewelry and money to
the value Of about 500. The burglars
evidently thought they would make a big
haul, as Mrs. Hess isengagcd in building,
and might be expectedto have large sums
ofmoney by her.
Mr.. ]. K, Cow, Of the Leader, is so in.
disposed as 10 be unable to discharge his
duties this week. His illness il not,
however, dangerous.
The series OF meetings now being held
in the Presbyterian Church each evening
are exceedingly well attended. Mr.. John.
son, who is assisting the pastor, is an i'm.
pressiye and eloquent speaker, and great
good may reasonably be expected to
result from this series Of meetings.
To-day and tomorrow meeting will be

STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF Schools.
The last number Of the Wat Virginia
Educational Monthly publishes communi.
cation which sets forth the kind OF man
that should be chosen 10 the important
Office Of State Superintendent Of Schools.
1t is commended in this article that he
should be thoroughly conversant not only
with the school system and laws Of his
own State, butwith the school history and
laws Of other States and countries. He
should be learned in the best school d.
dactics and school experiences Of the
world, and know both how to make and
explain school statistics.
It's alsocontended that the office Of Su-
perintendent OF Schools should be "flled
from the ranks Of our free aud Normal
School teachers"
"This would exclude, and very proper
ly too, all college teachers. Their work
and calling are as diverse from the spir-
it and peculiarities Of the free school
work as many other professions in the
country. Ohio has numerous colleges,
with distinguished instructors, and yet
from the beginning Of her free school
history, not one Of them has ever had the
office Of State Commissioner Of Schools.
The reason is apparent. The Office does
not represent colleges. Itrepresents the
free and normal school systems, aud be-
comes the stimulus 10 those. teachers rs
the reward Of great attainments and ex.
cellency in their chosen profession"
