The placer mines near Bushs' ranch
on Rock Greek, are said to be proving
better than the most sanguine Of cur
citizens ever could anticipate. The re-
port m to us, that on Wednesday a
clean up was made by company Of Eve
men, who had been working for 1--WE
days and to their surprise $500 in pure
gold was the reward of their labor.
Other companiesare realizing handsome

The vulgar prejudice against the tax
collector does not extend to the Black
Hills. His arrival in Deadwood City is
announced with a flourish Of trumpets
in the Pioneer. 1t is easy to under
stand why he is a welcome guest. This
region is an Indian reservation and
white men have no right to dig gold
there. But If the United States gov
eminent allows them to 60 thither and
then sends a tax-gatherer among them;
it acknowledges their right to remain
there, and cannot withhold the priv
ileges of court and p~ostofice. These
miners have struck hard sense il they
have not hard-pan.

Z. Nipple Hall, q damphool English
man who zscently came al far west as
Omaha, where he fingered a week or
two, thence returning to Chicago, was
interviewed by q Tribune reporter, and
stuffed the green journalist with stories
like this:
''Sitting Bull has 10000 warriors.
The Indians are brave and desperate,
nearly all being armed with first-class
rides, and constitute q foe not to be
despised, nor to be frightened by =
few companies of United States
troops From the Big Horn to the
Little Horn the whole country is in
imminent danger. None Of the settlers
are secure of their lives for . moment.
The Sioux are liable to dash in at any
time and destroy the settlements and
tear up the railroad. All along the
line of the Union Pacific the station
masters are offering extra inducements
to men to guard the track. Mr.. Sidney
Dillon, President Of the road, is now in
Denver and is manifesting extreme
anxiety for the road.'''
With the exception Of United States
troops, there is not a white man between
the Little and Big Horn rivers, and
there is no railroad in that section.
Union Pacific station-masters are not
alarmed, nor are they offering men
anything to guard the track. MI.
Dillon feels no anxiety concerning the
safety Of the road, and the Indians are
not at all liable to tear up the track.
With these exceptions Mr.. Halls state
ments in the above extract are substan-
italy correct, except that Sitting Bull
hasn't over $4,000 warriors. The Tri-
bune says:
"From the Indian agency 65 miles
north Of Yankton Mr.. Hall went out
100 miles in the Indian country, going
as far as the foothills Of the range
known as the Black Hills. He found q
regular panic among miners, all being
anxious to leave for safer quarters.''
The last sentence embodies = glarine
talsehood.: The miners are not anxious
to leave the Hills, but on the contrary
express the intention Of staying right
there. The fact of the matter is that
Mr.. Hall, like all others who part their
name in the middle, belongs in an
asylum for idiots.

Power or Truth.

Many children have read the tales
Of the Danish writer, Hans Christian
Andersen. A pleasant story Of his
childhood is told in a sketch of his
life. Little Hans was one day with
his mother aud some other poor
neighbOrs cleaning in the field Of q
man who was said to be very harsh
and cruel. They saw him coming,
aud all started to run away. But
Hans elumsy wooden shoes came of;
the stubble, or short stumps of the
grain stalks, which had been left by
the Teapers hurt his tender feet, so
that he could not keep up with the
others, and he found he must be
caught. The rough owner OF the field
was very near, and could almost
reach him with his heavy whip !;
when Hans, whose hopeless case now
suddenly filled him with new courage,
stopped aud turned, and looking into
the mans face, said, Glow dare you
strike me when God sees you ?"
The anger of his pursuer was SUD-
dued at once. Instead OF striking
the boy, he gently stroked his cheeks,
asked his name, and gave him some
money. The truth OF whicn little
Hans had reminded him when about
to do q mean and cruel act, seemed to
make him ashamed of il at once, and
TO canse him to speak and act kindly.

the centennial.

Human skin has at last been utiliz-
ed, and pair of boots is the result.
H & a. MahrenhoIz, bOOtmakers, oi
this city, have long been interested in
experimenting upon the skins oil
sundry animals and fshes, with !
view of ascertsining their adaptabili-
ty for leather. In addition 20 tan.

kangaTo =, alligstors, snacOndas, bos
cOEstric;nrs and czt-fishes, Mr.. II.
MahrenhUlZ, who Is more especially
Interested in the work, has produced
good leather from the skin OF q
human being.
o. this he has made pair of hand
some boots, which have been sent ia
the Smithsonian Institute, at Wash.
ingIOn, for transmission 10 the Gen.
teuuial- Oh 4 pair of boots from alIi-
gator skin also sent, Prof. Spencer V.
Baird, OF that institution, writes that
they Will Oe sccorded 3 place ia the
exhibition, but that he has not decid-
ed on displaying the human boots.
He fears the indignation that uay be
exeiLei against an assumed prJfana-
ton OF the human body. Tie skin
was taken from the breast, stomach
and baeK of a man ia a disseet-
ing room, who had died suddenly
from an accident, aud whom de-
cay had not begun 10 act upon.
It was placed in solution of hemlock
bark Snd white oak bark, usually used
in tanning, aud in three weeks from
the first sleeping, appeared as the up
per feathers and legs Of the boots in
question. The soles were made from
cOwskin. The boots We're not BACKED,
but forwarded in tine light brown c0l-
or that the tanning had created. The
leather u somewhat coarssr than eaI-
skin, and more porous. The pores of
cattle are far more minute than those
OF horses and human beings, and
bovine animals, like dogs, perspire
bat slightly Their heat departs
largely from the open mouth.
After allowing for the necessary
waste, the skin of an average-sized
man will make two pair OF boots,
including the soles, but the latter
would not be sufficiently hard for
use. Here is 4 new idea
for individuals selling their bodies for
dissection before death. The 1IeTcuTy
to-day, in its amusement
Items, the fact Of variety performer
having bequeathed his corpse to a
doctor for dissection in the cOnsidera-
ton of 500. II he had made a re-
servatiOn of the skin. and ordered its
into boots, he might
nave realized another 500. Number
1f the curious would give $50 a pair
FOR them.
Mr.. Mahrenholz is continuing his
experiments upon the human skin,
put with higher view than that of
it for boots. He desires
hat, after tanning, it shall preserve
is original whireness, and is now
sndeavoring, by process different
rom that ordinary availed, to attain
lls end. In case of success, he pur-
1Oses TO tan the cutieles Of a man, a
woman and a child, and stuff them
