Black Hills Grumblers.

. There are constant rumors of growl-
ers and grumblers returned from the
gold regions, who pronounce the
whole western country a fraud. This
is to be expected when thousands of
people leave for a wild and unsettled
region, moneyless, in the winter sea-
son. Such people are prone to meet
with .h~ardships, and would suffer from
restitution anywhere else. No II
ought to go to the new Eldorado with
out expecting to work hard and meet
with disappointment and reverses.
This is the history OF California, Colo
RADIO, and numerous other well settled
mining districts. We remember cross
ing the plains twelve years ago, meet
ing extensive trains of returning. dis
appointed gold seekers; and yet Colo
rado has since that time developed her
rich gold mines. Utah has opened her
silver Mines and even Nevada and
California AVE greatly enhanced their
wealth. but 1t usually takes work in a
mining district to accumulate II COM
potency just as much ~ it does else
where. or else everybody would he a
miner. Aside, however, from mineral
deposits, we venture to say that as
much gold lies latent in the soil in
those fertile valleys of the Rocky
Mountain districts as there is in the
mines, and in saying SO we need not
deprecate the richness of the mines
either. Omaha Bee.

A merited Reward.

While DIR. Kennedy's reputation as
being one Of the boldest and most sue
cessful surgeons in our state had much
10 do with the rapid Introduction of
this Favorite Remedy in our city,
where he has practiced for the last six
years, with unparalleled success, yet
this does not account for the introduce
tion and continually increasing de-
mand for the medicine in other states,
while at home the sale of Favorite
Remedy has nearly IL not quite super
seeded all other and older preparations.
Let IL be remembered also that up to
this day the Doctor has mol advertised
the article in any of the adjoining
states, and yet there sis hardly a state
In the Union but what has ordered the
medicine through the regular business
channels. These facts force us to con-
clude, and we are frank to confess,
that the real cause of the wonderful
success of the Doctors enterpl Use Is
due to the medicinal merit of the pre-
paration. We publish the following
letter, written by a first-class business
firm Of another state, where the people
have seen DIR. Kennedy O. even
heard of his professional reputation.
However, we copy the letter word for
word, and leave the readers of the

Dear Sir Please send us at once one
quarter gross of your Favortte Rene
dy. Your preparation has given uni
versal satisfaction to every person who
has used 1t in this place.
One lady who has purchased and
used three bottles of the medicine tes-
tifes on her own account to Its won
derful merit, while others speak in the
most glowing terms of its great heal
ing powers. The question is often
asked Is 1t possible that this medl-
cine gives the same satisfaction in all
other places !" We used to sell Ayers
sarsaparilla and vegetine, but since we
have been able to secure your Favorite
Remedy 1t has quite superseded the
sale of these articles.
We wish you would advertise it in
this section. Although 1t would have
to bear competition with other medi-
cines, yet we are satisfied 1t would be.

About seven o'clock last night, as a

carrying n box of lighted lamps up
stairs, one of them was overturned,
and the box was soon in a blaze. The

Mr.. Ford rushed up. seized the blazing
box, and at great danger to himself
carried it down stairs and threw it
into the gutter, thus averting a serious
conflagration.

ACCORDING TO LAW.

Events are rapidly declaring the true
issu e. 1t is whether men will abide by
the for ms Of law, or constitute an outside
and provisional government which de-
clares it's own will paramount to the law.
To take The whole Southern States as q
consti tuency we have seen that one by
one they have been wrested from the
form al laws OF the land and ere now held
in defiance of those laws. We're the rights
accorded by the constitution recognized
by the people Of those States, there
would be delegation in Congress
divided according to the local
preponderance of the one party or
the other. The virtual violation of the
amnesty oath by intimidation of the eman-
cipated people, has given the control of
almost the entire South to the larty in
imical to the grant OF exercise of those
rights.

side. revolutionary and disafected party

THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND HONEY CHANG.
ERS,

ELS.
There was no other sect in Jerusalem
perhaps none throughout all the land o.
Canaan that gave our Saviour while on
earth SO much trouble as the chief priests
and the money changers. Toward all
other classes of offenders he manifested
that wonderful charity which has been for
more than eighteen centuries the admira-
ton of mankind. He stood the friend OF
the poor publican and sinner who hum
bled himself and said, "Lord, have
mercy" he postponed sentence upon the
woman who had been caught in fagrante
delictu until some one or other of the &C.
cusing bystanders, among whom was q
large number of priests and phari-
sees, could comply with his impos-
sible condition: 'Let him that is with
out sin among you throw the first stone. +"
When he saw the effect his words had
produced, how the chief priests, lawyers,
doctors, pharisees, scribes and the gen.
eral run of the meddlesome people of
Jerusalem fled to their places Of obscurity,
he sent the woman away. His divine
mercy extended even to one of the thieves
on the cross who were executed at the
same time he was lynched by the Jewish
buIldozers. But there is not kind word
for the chief priests, lawyers and money
changers recorded anywhere in the New
Testament. He seems to have too thor
oughly understood their hypocrisy, big
otry and sel6shness to have any patience
with them.
These tribes of barnacles-these social
pests-showed the same bad traits of char
acter in the first century that their sue
cessors in New Orleans and Charleston do
in the nineteenth. Our chief priests and
money changers are all partisans. They
are Democrats. They commended for the
divine origin of slavery, and refuse to adj
NIT the colored population to the common
rights Of humanity. They live in COM
na"ni'ies "nere the papers every morning
lay upon their breakfast tables report of
the assassination of some negro. Then
they roll up their pious eyes and thank
God for his many mercies, eat breakfast

WHY THE BANKERS HATE THE REPUB-

The hostility Of the old bank presidents
of New Orleans to Republican govern
ment in Louisiana has been frequently
remarked. On every occasion of public
excitement, Old Moneybags makes haste
to put his autogra oh to statement de-
nouncing Republicans and patting on the
back the hungry and sometimes riotous
Democracy. Half dozen times in the
past six years this has occurred; and
sometimes people ask the reason why.
A little paper that lies before us as we
write may serve as an explanation of the
singular fact aforementioned. The paper
goes on to state that at q certain period
during the rebellion certain banks of New
Orleans, under an act of January 90, 1862,
advanced money to aid the rebellion
against the general government, and gives
