surplus. Whiskey was plenty and dull sale
at Cheyenne prices.
The Indians were thick in the foot hills,
and there was DO chance for prospecting.
The Indians, who were friendly during
winter and early spring, since Crooks de-
feat never come into camp, but shoot at the
whites every time they see them. Scarcely
a party ever went out to prospect that two
or three of the number were not picked off.
In one instance twenty-one were killed out
of q party of forty.
Mr.. d. showed us a nice specimen of gold
brought from this country, but the diggings
are far too light to satisfy experienced
miners. We may therefore expect that
many wlldo as this gentleman has done

WE had the pleasure Of meeting s.. Il.
Drace, late of Franklin county, Mo-, who is
direct from the Black Hills, from whom we
learn some important facts respecting this
new Eldorado.
He says French gulch, Spring creek and
Rapid creek are almost entirely abandoned.
Hill City, Rapid City and Mountain City are
completely evacuated, and that Gustav
seem soon destined to share the same fate.
Whitewood and Deadwood, eighty miles to
the north of Gustav City, are the principle
scenes of business. AT these points there
were some claims which the owners claimed
were paying from $40 to.s15 per day. Pro-
visions were scarce and high, and could
only be obtained from parties who had a

LET Us HELP ONE ANOTHER.-This
little sentence should be written on every
heart and stamped on every memory. 1t
should be the golden rule practiced not
only in every household, but throughout
the world. By helping one another we not
only remove thorns from the pathway and
anxiety from the mind, but we feel sense
of pleasure in our own hearts, knowing we
are doing duty for fellow creature. A
helping hand, or an encouraging word, is
no loss to us, yet is benefit to others. Who
has not felt the power of this little SEN
tence? Who has not needed the encourage
ment and aid of kind frienda How sooth-
ing, when perplexed with some task that
is mysterious and burdensome, to feel a
kind hand on your shoulder, and to hear a
kind voice whispering, ''Do you feel dis
couraged? I see your trouble-let me help
YOU" What strength is inspired, what
hope created, what sweet gratitude is felt,
and great difficulty is dissolved as dew be-
meath the sunshine. Yes, let us help one
another by endeavoring to strengthen and
sustain the weak and lifting the burden off
from the weary and oppressed, that life
may glide smoothly on and the fount of
bitterness yield sweet waters; and He
whose willing hand is ever ready to aid US
will reward our humble endeavors, and
every good deed will be as ''bread cast upon
the waters, to return after many days." if
not TO US, to those we love.

A FROG BAROMETER. Out at Lafay-
cite Park policestation they have wealth
er prophet which eclipses lice and all the
barometers in the neighborhood.i 1t is a
frog of the genus ssHyla,' more familiar
to the general reader as the tree toad.
Hunt, the Superintendent of the Park,
was mildly abusing his barometer one day
for misleading him, when the officer on the
beat, an old frontiersman, said he would
show him trick. He took glass jar and
threw into it some stones and couple of
inches Of water. Then he whitfield out a
little wooden ladder and put it in jar.
After some lively scrambling tree toad
was caught, chucked in, and a tin top
screwed on. The weather indicator was
complete. When it is going to be fair
weather that toad roosts on the top round
of the ladder, solemnly blinking the hours
fore change to bad weather, s'the gen
eral," as they call him, begins to climb
down, and hours before storm sets in he
squats himself on stone, and, with his
head just above the surface of the water,
peers aloft at the coming storm. Let the
weather be changeable and "shifting,o as
sold Prob" says, and the toad goes up
and down that ladder like scared MILDLY.
When it is fair and the toad roosts aloft,
his skin is of light grayish green. When
the change comes the skin turns black as
the toad goes down the ladder, becoming a
jet, shining black by the time he reaches
the bottom. The fame of the toad has
spread through the Lafayette Park neigh
borhood. st. Louis Times.
