Clarke's Pony Express makes con.

Clarke's Pony Express makes con-
nection with the Union Pacific Rail
road at Sidney leaving twice q week,
and making the trip either way in
three days. This line was originally
merely o mail route, the carriers
travel on horse back a light wagon
is now being run, carrying limited
number of passengers without bag
gage, the fare being S25. q number
of Concord stages are shortly to be
put on, making this regular stage
route. Mail on this ronte is carried
at the rate of ten cents per letter.
There will be sharp competition
between these two lines for the gov
eminent mail contract.
THE TELEGRAPH
was completed to Custer City, and
the first message sent from the Hills
on the 10th of October. 1t was ex-
pected at that time to have the line
carried TO Deadwood in twenty days.
The people of Crook City are de-
termined to have it through to their
town before winter. This line is an
individual enterprise. The protector.
MIR. Hubbard, formerly resident OF
Wisconsin, deserves all credit, and
the large profits he will undoubtedly
realize for the energy with which be
has pushed this undertaking through,
in the face of Il difficulties. LIS
completion has been FASTENED by
large subscriptions made by the citi-
zens OF The towns Interested, which
subscriptions are pre- paid by Mr..
Hi5bard, at. the rate of two dollars
for one, in telegraphic scrip, to be
redeemed in telegraphing at the reg
ular rates.
WORD OF EXPLANATION
As the reports and letters | lave
written about the Black Hills, have
been compiled as faithfully as all ma
terials at hand would permit, the
task being an unexpected one to the
undertaken. Popular exaggeratious
and the use of mere here-say reports
have been carefully avoided, and !
have confined myself strictly to those
things which have passed under my
personal observation aud within my
own experience. Population, dis
tances and directions can only De az.
proximated, but survey Of the
country is now being made by
scientific expedition and We viii
soon have a correct map Of the hills
and many reliable statistics.

cial oath, never again TO use alcohol
as a beverage, and have afterwards
violated that pledge,-broken that
oath
The cases are so numerous that 1t
is long since any disgrace or shame
has attached to this solemn falsehood,
this form of perjury. In an honest
end to promote public sobriety, public
integrity has been undermined, and,
if the purpose has been accomplished,
then, the loss would have been i'm
measurable; but we have totally failed
in orr object, while the means used
to accomplish it have been of the ma
ture of burning the barn to get rid of
the rats.
A lack of society is serious ma
tional evil; but lack of truth between
man and man is social destruction. A
state can better support two drunk
ards than one liar; better ten drunk.
ards than one who will swear falsely !:
and how many false oaths have we
induced by the temperance move
ment The number is simply ap
palling; but even more alarming is
the roll of those who have learn
ed, by trickery, and fraud, and perjury,
to evade and violate law. A nation
of drunkards may maintain its exist
ence intact; but nation of liars is an
impossibility, for truth is the bond Of
society; and if, in the attempt to cure
drunkenness, we have induced false
hood, we have been curing ague by
the introduction of yellow fever.
The mistakes of honest men have
wrought the world much woe; but |
doubt if any one was much more mis-
chievous than that of our entire tenn
perance movement. 1t has all been
conducted on the principle that the
criminal is the innocent, imbecile VIC
tim of him who can be nothing more
than an accessory. 1t has confused
the public mind on the question of
individual responsibility. 1t has fur
nished the drunkard, in advance, with
apologies, extenuations,-nay, justifi-
cation of his sin 1t has taught thou
sands to think of themselves as ire
sponsible parties to their own crimes,
and has been ia contravention OF the
divine rule which holds every soul
responsible for its own act. 1t has
incorporated into the moral law a
command never before found there,
and made it overshadow all other
commands.
The eleventh commandments thou
shalt not make or sell intoxicating
drinks-has been enforced to the great
detriment of the decalogue, which
addresses itself to the individual,
never to society, and gives no man
right to apologize for bis own sin
on the ground of temptation.

THE HAUNTED PALACE.

BIZ EDGAR A.. POI.
Ia the greenest of our valleys,
By good angels tenanted,
Once fair aud stately palace,
Radiant palace, reared its head
In the monarch Thoughts dominion
1t stood there
Never sersph spread pinion
Over fabric half so fair.
Banners yellow glorious golden
On its roof did float and flow;
(Tbis, all this, 10 the iolden
Time, long ago.
And every gentle air that dallied
In that sweet day.
Along the ramparts plumed and pal,id,
A winged Odor went away.
Wanderers in the happy valley
Through two lumi nous windows saw
Spirits moving mu scally
To lItes we'll tuned law,
Round about throne, while sitting,
(Porphyrogene -
In state his glory well BETTING,
The ruler of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing,
And sparkling evermore,
A troop of echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but 10 sing,
In voices of SURPRISING beauty,
The wit and wisdom of their king.
But evil things, in robes of sorrow,
AssaiIed the monsrch's high estate,
(Ah let us mourn, for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him, desolate ,
And round about his throne of glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but a dimmed remembered story
OF the old time entombed.
And travellers now within that valley
Through the red-iitten windows see
Vast forms that move Enthusiastically
To a discordant melody;
While, like rapid CHASTITY river,
Through the pale door,
A hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh-but smile no more.

THE TOWNS.
| (Deadwood city is the most -four
ishing town in the Hills. and the bus
mess centre. 1t is situated on White
wood Greek, just below its junction
with Deadw wood Greek. From its cen.
tral position and its proximity to al
the race mining districts, it is des-
tined to hold it's rank as the metro
polls. The extent of this town will
necessarily be limited on account OF
its position, being in narrow gulch,
which at a rough estimate is only
FIVE hundred feet at it's greatest
Width.
The growth OF Deadwood has been
most remarkable. The first hous
was built on the 28th day of last
April Now there is population of
1900 people, and some good build
ings and stores which are as we'll
stocked as any in any town of the
same size in The country From
seven to ten thousand people come
to Dead wood for their mail and sup.
plies. Never in the history of the
city has the business of bull ling
been 81 actively engaged in as at the
present time. The thick forests are
melting away like STOW before q
spring Gun, and long, we'll Isid out
streets are taking their place. In
eve:y part of the city is heard the
sound of hammer and saw.
There are in Deadwood 173 bust
ness. houses of various kinds They
have been classified as follows
Assayers, /; auctioneers, 4; amHse.
ments, 2; bath. houses, 1; butchers,
3; blacksmiths, 5 bankers, l brew,

Lots % #. by 100 are worth, on
the min street, from $500 to $4,000;
on the baok street, from $50 to 5000.
In June last the best lots could be
bad for $500.
CROOK CITY
is town of about three hundred PEG,
pie, located on Whitewood creek,
near the foot hills, 13 miles north
vest from Deadwood City. II is the
centre, not only of a rich mining
district, but of a good farming and
stock. 1t is also the depot for all
trains coming in by Yankton and
Fort Pierre, and Bismarck routs
Crock city has the handsomest
natural position of any town in the
Hills, rising from the level of the
creek in gentle slopes to The hills,
forming natural terraces upon which
the imaginative mind can see in the
distant future, streets Of handsome
buildings towering row above row.

The Yellow Centaur Liniment

IS 1or the tough SKIN, flesh and muscles OF
HORSES, MULES AND ANIMALS.
We have never yet seen a case of Spawn,
Sweeny, Ring-bone, Wind-gelI, Scratches or
POll-Eqil, which this Liniment would not
speedily benefit and we never saw but a few
cases which it would not cure. 1t will
cure when anything can. 1t is folly to spend
$50, for q Farrier, when one dollars worth of
Centaar Liniment will do better. The follow
ing Is a sample of the testimony peoduced.

*'Centaur Liniment can't be beat. 1t cures
