self a character for stability and hon
esty of purpose. that has made him
honOred and loved at home and re-
spected abroad.
Third Because he has the pnlim-
tied confidence of the masses in all
sections. who believe. in his patriot
ism, and who are willing to trust
him with the reins of Government,
confident that he will not prove a
second Andrew demonstrating to
nullify the results achieved by the
hte..war. The people feel eonfdeut
that no man in this nation is so well
fitted to bring order out of chaos, and
to deal out even, honest justice to all
classes alike. and to ultimately brig
back the country'to its wonted peace,
prosperity and happiness, by the
power of his strong will. indomitable
courage and we'll poised judgment.
Fourth-Beeause such is the condi-
ton of h e..country, politically. finan-
cially and morally, that we must
have a positive man like. Dir. Blaine
for President in 1877, in order TO Sc
cure to the people The blessings OF a
Republican form Of government in
all the States and Territories.
Fifh-Becapse the. name Of Jas.
e.. Blaine is a tower of strength
throughout the length and breadth
of this land. which cannot be Sc
truthfuily..said Of any. other.-1nan in
the nation.
Sixth-It being a potent fact that
the great work Of reconstruction in
in all the. States is not.yet compile
ted, it is IN imperative necessity that
the strong hand. steady eye, and
brave, loyal heart of Jas. e.. Blaine
should guide the good old ship of
State through the turbulent waves,
that no hidden danger Of state rights
heresy ,sor sympathy with ex-rebels,
may prevent her from entering the
haven of safety in lasting triumph
and victory.
For the foregoing cogent reasons,
aid many others W. could name, the
LEADER and a large majority Of the
Republican voters of the country, are
in favor of the Hon. Jas. G.. Blaine
for the next Presidency ; If he re-
ceives the nomination at Cincinnati,
which We think is a foregone conclu-
ion, he will be triumphantly elected
by the American people.

Mr.. Mix" said the family ply
stefan of that gentleman to him, the
other day, ''your mother-in-law
won't live long unless she has more
exercise" "All right" said Mix.
and then he walked off some ways,
and said to himself, If exercise is
going to ave her, l will spike her
down SO she can't wriggle." There
never was anything very refined or
gentle about that man Mix. He is
so bluff and rough and means So
much of what he says.

THE War Department seems TO lie
a little un!ucky. Ex-Governor Floyd,
who was its Democratic Secretary
during the Utah war in 1859, not
only gave official acceptances to his
transportation contractors which are
unpaid to this day. but Bailey, a
good Democrat and relative of
Floyd's by marriage, took the liber-
ty of loaning to these same Demo-
cratic contractors some Of the Indian
trust fund bonds which were in his
custody MS q clerk af the Interior De-
partment, He did it TO oblige Russ.
ell, Majors and Wnddell, and he
thought it would please Floyd, he
said. Jake Thompson, then Secre-
tary of the Interior, did net appear
to be much pleased /; neither did old
Mr.. Buchanan. In these transactions
of Democratic leaders, citizens of the
United States were swindled by
worthless acceptances and the appro-
printions of trust funds as collateral
for army contractors, but we do not
recollect that the Democratic press
was very greatly Mortified at the
spectacle. If we remember rightly,
Governor Floyd was held innocent of
any Intentional wrong, and his blum
der as it was called, vas palliated in
every possible way. Was he not a
pink of chivalry, and fond ola cock
fight "a Virginia gentleman. &C.?
But that did not pay to Peirce & Ba-
con, of Boston, the official acceptances
of the War Department, o restore
TO the Indians their stolen bonds.
Que would suppose, to read the DEM
ocratic Journals of recent dates, that
their party was immaculate. We re.
fer them to the volumes of Covode's
Report.

In answer to the hundreds of
communications We are in daily re-

get 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 it
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 too admit of
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been of quite recent ccur-
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.

TRANSPORTATION, ETC.
A line of daily stages, carrying
passengers, mail and express, will
begin running between Cheyenne
and Custer City on or before the
LIST of April. Fare will be as fol-
lows: First-class, Cheyenne to
Custer City, $40; second-class,
Cheyenne to Custer City, SIS;
third-class, Cheyenne to Custer City,
$40. These rates apply only to
through tickets.)
Our forwarding houses can fur
nish transportation for 100000
pounds at a shipment. Freight
charges, Cheyenne to Custer, range
from 81 to 6 cents per pound, ac-
cording to kind of animals employed
and time consumed on the road.
Horses are plenty and cheap here.
Prices range as follows: Well-bro-
ken saddle horses, $50 to SIS each ;
or with saddle, bride, etc., from $40
up. Well-broken work teams, 500
to $3.50 per span /; single carriage
horses, 500 to $3.50 each; mules,
5000 to S400 per span.
1t will cost less to outfit here than
to bring outfits with you. Heavy
stocks and hot competition cause
this. We TO not say so because we
are paid for it but because we have
yet to see the man who has outftted
elsewhere who does not affirm that
his outfit has cost him at least 25
per cent. more than it would if pur-
chased here.

DRIFTING TOGETHER.

Forever thine whateer this heart betide;
Forever thine where'er our lot be cast
Fate, that may rob us OF all wealth beside,
Shall leave us love, till life itself be past;
The world may wrong us, we will leave its hate:
False friends may change and falser hopes decline
Though bowed by cankering care We'll smile at fate
Since thou art NINE beloved and am thine.
Forever thine when circling years have spread
Time S snowy blossom DER thy placid.brow
When youths rich glow and purple light are fled,
And lilies bloom where roses flourish now,
Say shall love thy fading beauty less,
Whose spring tide radiance has been wholly minef
No! come what will thy steadfast truth I'll bless,
In YOUTH in age, thine own, forever thine.
Forever thine, at evenings dewy hour,
When gentle hearts to tenderest thoughts incline,
When balmiest odors from each closing flower
Are breathing round me. thine forever thine;
Forever thine, mid fashions Ileartless throng
In courtly bowers. at folly's gilded shrine,
Smiles on my cheek, light words upon thy tongue,
My deep heart, still IS thine, forever thine.
Forever thine, amid the bosterous crowd,
When the jest sparses with the sparkling wine.
I may not name thy precious name aloud,
But drink to thee in thought, forever thine
would not sweet, profane that silvery sound,
1.-THE depth of love, could not rude hearts divine,
Let the loud laughter peal, the toast go round;
My thoughts, my thoughts are thine, forever thin

Thus we see that the ash from the $500
quarts of milk is about the same in amount as
from the acre of wheat, and that it does not
differ greatly in composition.
Nitrogen is another element that the wheat
and cow both remove from the land. Wheat
contains 13 per cent. of albuminoids, which
will yield two per cent. of nitrogen. The 25
bushels will, therefore, remove 80 pounds of
nitrogen. Milk contains on an average four
per cent OF nitrogenized bodies, which will
yield GA per cent. of nitrogen; or the $500
quarts will give 80 AZ pounds of nitrogen. 1t
is not quite so easy to make the comparison
Of the amount of carbon removed aor does it
make so much difference, as the carbon is
derived mainly from the atmosphere, in the
one case by the wheat plant directly, in the
other by the grass which is eaten by the cow.
From the above it is easy to see why old
pastures run down; and the remedy is exact
ly the same as should be used if wheat had
exhausted the soil; that is, the ground must
be manured. And the composition of the ash
of the milk shows why potash salts and su-
perphosphates produce such remarkable eff
fects on old, worn-out pastures. These fur
nish exactly the elements that have become
exhaused. Farmers who buy grain largely
for feeding, and apply the manure produce to
the land, are thus almost unconsciously re-
turning to the land that which they have re-
moved in the form of milk.-Boston Journal
of Chemistry.

Among the notable professional men of this coun-
try who have achieved extraordinary success is DIR.
X. v. Pierce, oi Buffalo, N. Y The prominence
which he has attained has been reached through
strictly legitimate MEANS and, far, therefore, he
deserves the enviable reputation which he enjoys.
This large measure of is the result of thor
ough and careful preparation for his calling, and
tensiye reading during a long and unusually large
practice which have enabled him to gain high COM
mendation, even from his professional brethren.
Devoting his attention to certain specialties of the
science he has carefully investigated he has been
rewarded in remarkable degree. In these special
ties he has become recognized leader. Not few
OF the remedies prescribed by him have, it is said
been adopted and prescribed by physicians in their
private practice His pamphlets and larger works
have been received useful contributions to medical
knowledge. He has recently added another, and per-
haps more important work, because of more general
application to the list of his published writings.
This book entitled 'The Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser is designed to enter into general
circulation. DR.. Pierce has received acknowledge
ment and honors from many sources, and especially
scientific degrees from two of the first medical inst-
tutions in the land.
