The weather during the week
was sort o. mixed-leaning towards fair,
however.
Mr.. w. P. Hale is having neat
picket fence put up around his new
residence.
The printed ticke, last Tuesday
was elected straight out--another proof
of the power Of printers ink.
The first man who says "turkey
hunt" to the boss Of this rancho, will
get a 'head put on him. He's got
enough of it.
Owing to the frequent rains and
general 'cussedness' of the weather OF
late, the farmers all complain of being
behind with their spring work.
Fishing parties by moonlight is a
new feature, and beats setting in the
hot sun all to pieces. We rather like
the innovation especially when bob
bing for (gum) suck )crs.
The fishing season has opened in
eatnest. Our friend DR.. Miller brought
in the frs, string last Wednesday, ever
since which time, fishing poles have
been in demand.

l.. Driver, mayor, G. ii. Gaylord, re.
corder, S. S. Semmes, Alex. Goodrich,

night.
The lumber for building the bridg-
es over the several crossings about town
is being hauled on the ground, and the
people will soon be able to ride to town
without passing on the e-walks. or,
being compelled to swim the mudholes.
The cake we got last Saturday was
not as good as some we've tasted before,
but we suppose did well enough for the
first one made in the month of April.
AS cake makers, we could not recon-
mend you, Bessie and Lee.
The contest for municipal officers
last Tuesday was quite lively; tremen-
dous efforts were made by the "sum-
mer party to split the ticket and ring
in a few advocates of reduction OF
liquor license, but to no purpose.
Several of our citizens went into
to the show business last Wednesda~.
The manager of Cooks circus having
pitched his canvas according to an
nouncement, and the crowd not being
sufficiently materialized to justify an ex-
hibiton and pay the cense(sIoo), a
few of the citizens made up the amount
and the managers gave US one OF the
best shows that Osceola has witnessed
in some time. The bareback riding of
Vim. q. Miles was unsurpassable,
while the performances of the Robin
son brothers on the horizontal bar can.
not be eaualed.
Owing to the tardincss of Spring
work and the bad condition of the
roads, very few of our country folks
were in, but we will endcavor to make
up for the managers disappointment
when mex, he comes around with his
show by having the biggest crowd pos
sible present to witness his splendid
entertainments.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Jones ave
social party at their residence last
Monday evening, which was truly Ire
party of the season. The elite of our
city were in attendance, and with the
assistance of the 'better half of the "a
nous Cairo band, rendered the event a
most enjoyable one to all. After the
dancing had been continued until some
of the jewellers were getting dry,
wine flowed freely, and many lips
drank the health of the host and host
ess. May they live long and prosper,
is the wish Of all their friends.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A
BURIED PALACE.

Recent proceedings in the Hungarian
Parliament disclosed a most remarkable
discovery, which. were it not so con-
clusively authenticated, would be almost
impossible to believe. The story, as
condensed from the official reports. is
that two peasants, or rather shepherds.
from the village OF Ivan-Egerzeg. near
the ancient city OF Veszprim and not far
from Lake Ralaton. came to Pesth. and
to ieweller offered tor sale some broken
fragments OF what evidently was very
old golden ornament for female wear,
probably bracelet or band tor the up
per arm. The jeweller questioned the
shepherds, and their answers being I'M
satisfactory. he had the men arrested on
suspicion Of being thieves. On examin-
alton they told tale which was so as
tonishing that it was communicated to
the Minister Of the Interior. and this
| functionary ordered an investigation by
scientific officers. The information of
the shepherds was that in the woods
skirting Ivan-Egerzeg. where they had
some huts tor shelter when out at night.
they had been digging little hill. want
ing the earth tor building purposes.
Suddenly they came upon what appeared
to be \ square structure OF brick walls.
with stone covering the aperture. Re
moving this stone they found that these
walls enclosed an opening into the earth
and resolved to sound its depth. Love err
ing \ stone lied to \ rope. they ascer-
tanned that the shaft. about three teet in
diameter. or nine square feet. descended
perpendicular.v to depth OF over 100
Square teet. The pebble they had low
cred reached what seemed like stone
door beneath. and from the sound itself
thew Judged that this opening must lead
; to some large subterranean cavern OF
hall.
They agreed to keep their discovery s
!. secret and TO explore the mystery. A
day or two afterwards the shepherd,
were again at work. They prepared :
small square board treighted with stones
| and in the center II it they placed thres
, lighted candles. This thew let dowr
through the snatt. and By the light o
the candles they saw distinctly that th'
< inner sides oil the shaft were smooth
|. and apparently ended in some larg
apartment. As the candles continued t
burn tall all the way down. they came &
: the deci sion that the air could mot be Vi
. tiated, and it would be sale to go down
e They ext prepared . rope ladder of th
: requisite length, secured several lantern

ded paintings, chairs, benches and ia
bles standing around. Ornamented With
gold and ivory, and large heavy doors,
hung on golden hinges, leading to other
rooms. The shepherd climbed the lad
der and told his companion the dlscov-
ery. Both of them went down together,
and, walking about, found themselves IN
a succession of rooms Astounding with
elaborately carved furniture OF a style
they had never seen before. In some OF
them were low large stands, evidently
once used for beds; there were also clos
medals, coins, daggers, chains, swords.
shields, and helmets. There were also
breastplates Of leather, covered with
iron and studded with ornaments in
gold. Some OF the armlets they took
away, broke them up and carried them
to Pesth for sale, in which transaction
they were arrested as above stated.
The officers of the Hungarian Minis
try ofthe Interior began their investiga-
ton under the ancient law, which makes
all such discoveries the property OF the
Crown, and their report, as communica-
ted to Parliament, is still more startling.
Their researches clearly established it as
a fact, that this subterranean structure
was undoubtedly an odd Roman castle,
built many centuries before the Huns
and Magyars left tAeir Asiatic homes to
invade this part of Europe. This section
of Hungary was the province of Pannon-
ia, of the Roman Empire, and in the vi.
cinity OF Lake Ralaton there was large
permanent Roman camp, the agricultur-
al and military settlements OF the RI
mans extending for many miles, and
traces of the Roman occupation, which
continued down to the sixth century OF
the Christian Era, have repeatedly been
found, But how this vast structure,
which is said to cover two acres, and
built two stories high, with massive walls
of stone and brick, was covered with
earth to the depth of more than sixty
feet, over which forest of heavy timber
had grown up-a forest, too, that's men
! toned as existing in the Oldest preserved
chronicles of the kingdom, the officer!
! have so tar found, is impossible to &C
7 count for. In one room several skele

THE BLACK HILLS.

That .money is the root OF all evil"
has been very fully illustrated since the
commencement of the immigration into
the Black Hills tor it. Within that short
space of time there has been so rank
crop of crime harvested, in connection
with that section of country. that even
the satanic husbandman must have been
agreeably surprised.
The record is made up OF lying, rob-
berry and murder. all on a wholesale
scale with lesser crimes thrown in to
make up the filing. First we have the
national lie, the breaking of solmn
treaty made by great nation with weak.
scattered savages, whom in our strength
and christian enlightenment we are sup
posed to look upon as our wards. Had
a treaty with civilized people. been so
shame tully, wilfully broken. the world
would denounce the outrage aud gov
ernments. would band together to see it
redressed, the wrong having been COM
mitted against poor savages intensifies
the crime, il not in the eyes of men. in
the eyes of god. and nationalpunishment.
will assurdly follow this national sin, tor
his arm is not shortened. Around the
national lie we have thickly grouped the
lies OF spectators, town builders. supply
traders. store keepers, broken down
gold hunters. gamblers and newspapers.
All these so far as their opportunity al
lowed, rivaled. in bad faith and false
hood the bad faith and falsehood Of the
government, and though it is impossibl.
to calculate the amount Of profit which
the liberal investments. made by tn,
spectators in fraud and falsehood
brought to them. we may safely estimate
that the sutferings and disappointment
OF their dupes have been on scale cor
responding with the stupendous lying o
the rogues. Then comes \ wild, blood.

A movement inaugurated by O'Don-
ovan Rosa few weeks ago for the pur-
pose of striking unexpected blows at
English power in Ireland has already at
tracted good deal Of attention and en-
listed large amount of support. Rosa
is one of those men whose sincerity OF
purpose is above suspicion; and when
he pledges his word to undertake any
feat. no matter how desperate it may be,
even his bitterest opponents never doubt
for moment but that he intends what
he saws. However much some people
NAV dissent from his political views,
there are few. we believe, on Irish soil
who would call seriously into question
the honesty and love ofcountry of the
indomitoble Felon- Elect for Tipperary.
It is only the other day that the Irssh
Times, writing against emigration, quoted
Rosa as an authority whose truthfulness
was universally admitted 1t is not sur
prisin9. therefore, that the Irish in
America have entered warmly into the
scheme devised by their gallant coun-
TRUMAN. This scheme IS all at once p4b.
lie and secret; the intention is published
to the world, but the plan is kept care
fully hidden. The hundreds Of CORES
pondents, who have already sent in thei1
contributions to the Skirmishing Fund
have made short, pithy suggestions
which have been duly printed without I
word of comment. Every county II

"When the most gigantic rebellion
that the world ever saw, threatened LIE
overthrow of the government, the Eng

Every petty Canadian sheet preached
a dissolution of the Union. England was

This shows that she was anxious &c
break up the Union.
Her spies were all over the country

She had gone so tar in her vile attempt
to break up the Union as to make prop

we are not so foolish as to expect that
any protest of ours against the false

our government is acting IN regard to
the Black Hills will have any affect IN
less the satisfaction we feel in making
it.
We have always admired Bishop
Whipple tor the manly, christian stand
he has always taken in regard to the
Indians. not that we are an admlrer
OF Indian character, tor we have lived
too long among them to be troubled
with any such maudling sentimentality
but. we love justice and truth, and we
admire the man who stands up for them
with the odds all against him. Neither
do we expect to stay the rush of people
to the Black Hills. The number OF peo-
pie killed, the number returned, utterly
broken and dispirited have tended to
put check to immigration, but the
spectators, gamblers etc. are equal to
the occasion, and now, of late days we
have the announcement, by kilograms,
of the arrival of large sums in gold dust,
at Bismark and other points where
spectators .most do congregate." We
do not believe these kilograms more than
those which proceed them, which we
Judged to be false at the time and know
to be false now.
