The New Era.

The present year promises to- mark an
important epoch in the history of the
progressive development Of the trans
Missouri region. The opening Of the
Black Hills and the occupancy of that
'country by the civilized race, is now an
assured fact. Whether the indolens
savages, who claim the Black Hills ~
their heritage, shall peacefully consent to
the occupancy of that region, or whether
they forcibIy resist the encroachments OK

and Custer Park can never again be turn.

Whether the new Eldorado shall fulfill
the sanguine hopes of the advcntarers
who are now invading the Black Hills, or
whether disappointment awaits these gold
hunters, one thing is certain, the revOlu-
ton wrought by the invasion will be per-
manent. If the precious metals IN that
country do not prove abundant enough
or sufficiently Temupcrative tor men of
small means, the prolific soil and the
great timber belt of the Black Hills will
furnish sufficient and paying employment
to every man who may venture into that
country for The next decade Even il q
large proportion of the adventurers
should. in case Of disappointment, seek
their fortunes elsewhere, thousands will
remain permanently to till the soil amt
work the timber. The Black Hills arc,
however, not the only region that will
encounter the tide of civilization during
the present year. The Big Horn country
and the Yellowstone Valley furnish great

promise better homes. or remunerative
The accessibility of these

A CENTENNIAL. ANECDOTE.-In looking
over some old papers in the Office OF the Re-
glster of the Land Office we find mass Of
testimony in support Of a centennial land
claim. Among the rest Is an affidavit OF
General John Smith, OF Frederick, who was
o member of the Legislature Of Virginia du-
ring the Revolutionary war. In 1t he states
that his memory was particularly impressed
with the facts which he relates by the fol-
lowing anecdote Of General Charles
Lee soon after his disgrace at Mon
mouth: sHThe conversation leading to
the subject OF fine horses, General Lee
observed that man was a presump-
tuous creature; he prided himself upon his
similitude to his Maker, and arrogated to
himself superiority in all the good quail
ties incident to humanity; but that IN his
opinion fine horse was by far the nobler
animal; his superior in dignity and az
pearance as well as honesty. Colonel Alex
ander replied that true it was man would
not compare in many things with fine
horse; but that fine ,coman was equal to
anything in creation. according to his no
ton. 'Pho!' said Lee. 'Your passions
blind and mislead you. Man is bad enough,
but woman, - psha.i'"

soldier should have been well sworn at by
