In answer to the hundreds o
communications we are in daily re
ceipt of, we have compiled the bud
ger OF information herewith given
for the benefit of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it is not as complete as we desire
and promise to make it, we think il
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query propounded is
whether we really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit OF
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been Of quite recent occur
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and -four
ishing town, with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West and north of the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
are full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
DISTANCES.
Following we give the distances
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,

Laffite, the Banker.

Charles Laftte, the great French
banker who has just died, was one of
the best known men in Paris. He was
known not merely as fnancier, but
also as man of fashion and pleasure.
He was one of the founders of the
Jockey Club. He was passionately
fond of racing and introduced steeple-
chasing into France. Strange to say,
though he ran them; in fact he knew SO
little that he could not tell his own
horses apart. For all that he loved 1ac
ing for its own sake and betted
very little. He was always great
dandy in dress, and was always
a noticeable figure with his rose or
posey of violets in his button hole when
attending the race course or the skating
club. He loved whist even better than
he loved racing, and would spend the
greater part of the night at the whist
table in the Jockey Club. Though he
did not bet on the race course, he play
ed for very high stakes at the whist
table. A rubber of f40 did not scare
him. He lost with the most supreme
good temper; not a word nor frown
ever betrayed his annoyance. He
had great amount of business
to transact. Besides looking after
his bank, he was director of
the Havre railway and had great deal
to do with Italian railways. He was
not fortunate in love nor in law. Sep
arated from his wife in 1854, he was
condemned to pay her a pension of e.
440, the pension being guaranteed by
lien upon sum of s29, 900 and he had
to give her sum of 100000 as dowry
to his two daughters. He had many
lawsuits, one of them in this country,
and which resulted in his having to pay
ESQ, 900, after having spent ESQ, 900 on
the lawyers whom he retained to resist
the claim.

4 Remarkable Professional Success

Among the notable professional men
Of this country who have achieved extraordl
nary success lis DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo
n. Y. The prominence which he has attained
has been reached through strictly legitimate
means, and, so far. therefore, he deserves the
enviable reputation which he enjoyed. This
large measure of success is the result of q
thorough and careful preparation for his call
ing, and extensive reading during long and
unusually large practice, which have enabled
him to gain high commendation, even from
his professional brethren. Devoting his
attention to certain specialties OF the science
he has so carefully investigated he has been
rewarded in a remarkable degree In these
specialties, he has become recognized lead
er. Not few of the remedies prescribed by
him have, it is said. been adopted and pre-
scribed by physicians in their private practice.
His pamphlets and larger works have been
received as useful contributions to medical
knowledge. He has recently added another,
and perhaps more important work, because of
more general application, to the list of his
published writings. This book. entitled The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser" il
designed to enter into general circulation
DR.. Pierce has received acknowledgements
and honors from many sources, and especially
scientific degrees from two of the first medl.
cal institutions in the land Com

A Terrible Land Slide at Reunion.
From the New York World.


One of the loveliest islands of the
East has just suffered tremendous
misfortune. An enormous landslip OF
earth and rocks occurred near ST.
Denis, in the island of Reunion. over
an extent of 2 kilometres, which buried
no fewer than sixtytwo persons under
a mass of ruin so metres in depth, and
of course destroyed everything within
its range. This landslip-which recalls
the dreadful catastrophe of Goldau, in
Switzerland, 50 touchingly described
years ago by an American author, Mr..
John Neal, of Portland-proceeded
from the high mountains of the District
of Salazie, about kilometers from the
hot springs which exist there, and
which have undoubtedly volcanic Or
igin.

DELLS BILL,

which made its regular appearance In

shape of an amendment to the charter
of the city of Eau Claire, authorizing
the city to construct water works. The
fight on this measure is between the
cities of Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire.
and its provisions are SO we'll known that
their statement here would be a mere
waste of time. Nor do I think it is of
any particular interest to your readers,
but for the fact the local quarrel on the
measure involved has already cost the
State many thousands of dollars, and
bids fair to continue the leeching pro-
cess for all time to come-at least, I'M
til "Dick" Wilson and "Thad" Pound,
the respective leaders of "The Dells"
lobby, are gathered to their fathers.
AFTER THE REPORTERS.
A bill has been introduced in the Sen
ate regulating the issuing of stationery,
etc., to reporters. The originator of the
bill. Senator Bryant, is quite eloquent
on the evil which has grown up in this
matter, and intimates that Eordes of i'm
pecunious newspaper men claim report
ers' privileges at the commencement of
each session, draw the liberal supply of
papers, pens, jack-knives, etc., ETC.. af-
ter which their reportorial duties sud
denly cease, and they are seen no more
until the next session, when the little
game is repeated. There is certainly
room for reform in this matter, and
there is disposition on the part of the
more respectable newspaper men to
abolish the system of free stationery al
together, and compelling representatives
of the press to defray their own ex-
penses. Should this be done, the Gre
porters' table y would probably furnish
ample accommodation for the represent
atives Of the very few journals who
would keep regular correspondents at
the capital.

THE CATE NJ DILL MEMORIAL

was the subject of an animated debate

verthorn and Barron leading. The me-
mortal requests Congress to investigate
the election and determine Judge Gates
right to the seat. The matter was post
poned for one week, and will create
earnest discussion when it again comes
up. l believe it was generally under
stood that DIR. McDill's acceptance of
the superintendency of the Asylum for
the Insane was tacit admission on his
part of the legality of Gates election,
and it seems to me a waste of time and
eloquence to discuss the matter now.

politician-his ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain-are past compre-

AN AGREEMENT.

here, and prominent members of the
legislature in relation to Legislation on
the railroad question. The meeting re-
suited in an agreement upon bill for
the repeal of the Potter law. Mr..
Potter himself took prominent part in
the conference and was satisfied with
the result. The bill agreed upon was
introduced on Wednesday, but as yet
have not examined it sufficiently to an
nounce the exact provisions-will do so

THE MILWAUKEE COURT-CRIER QUESTION.
The subject, which has of late been
the theme of considerable discussion
among Milwaukee lawyers and poll
ticiars, and even drawn the judiciary into
the controversy, is in fair way of So
luton by the passage of law abolish
ing the Office. And this notwithstand-
ing the remonstrance against such
action from the judges of the circuit,
county, and municipal courts of the
county, presented few days ago. Such
a bill has passed the Assembly and will
no doubt be concurred in by the Senate.
The opposers of the bill charge that the
measure has it's origin in political par
tizauship, and Ought not to prevail, es-
pecially in the face of the judicial re-
monstrance stated above. I believe,
however, the Milwaukee Taxpayers
Union initiated the movement-at any
rate they May claim it as peculiarly a
vic tory of theirs should it succeed.

Arrangement of the Grant Adj
ministratiOn.


BosToN. April 26.-The Republic
can State Convention of Massachu-
sets assembled to-day, and chose
Hon. John S. Sanford permanent
chairman. The chairman in his
speech said: "No one who has
watched the current of political
events has failed to see a wide
spread and growing dissatisfaction
with the management of national af-
fairs, and, as q consequence, there
have been large and significant de-
Elections from our ranks. We have
seen the Republican party routed in
its strongholds, AID the National
House of Representatives occupied
by our opponents. It is idle to dis
gnise the fact that there have been
periods within the last few days when
a national election would have
brought imminent hazard of a Dem
ocratic restoration. Have you any
longer doubt as to the causes which
have wrought this change in our for
tunes? Surely we have not abiured
our creed. Our distinctive policy
and aims were never more clearly af-
firmed our traditions and the names
of our great leaders never more rev.
erently held. No; the protest is not
against the record or creed, but
against the method of administra-
ton; against dominant influences
and tendencies that have debased
the character and tone of the public
service; against leadership that
has welded power and patronage for
its own ends, and not for the public
good; against a partisanship, mar
row, intense and violent, that has
usurped the place of broad and en-
lightened craftsmanship, and repell-
ed accessions of recognized charac-
ter and ability as an element too re-
pugnant to be tolerated; against a
tide of financial morality that has
corrupted the standard of official
honesty and turned places Of public
trust into opportunities of private
gain or public plumber. The Repub-
lican party will be recreant to CON-
handing duty-nay. invite the pen
atty of deserved defeat. if it does not
place itself with unhesitating cour-
age in front of tie movement for re-
form and carry it forward with un-
compromising zeal. The duty and
remedy is not to scuttle the good old
ship, but to pump out the bil2e wa
ter, discharge but the recreant, and
summon TO the command trua- ond
worthy men. There is nothing in
the temper of the country, however.
nor in the recent elections to justify
presumption on our part. We. too,
have much to be forgiven. The is
sue of Immediate and radical reform
confronts us. We cannot evade it.
