Approaching the financial embarrassment
OF the people OF our region from past yicissi-
tudes, as also the necessities consequent up
on 4 gentle and comfortable subsistence, we
have extended almost broadcast an open
hand Of credit. To deserving necessity it has
never been closed Time, Season and Cir
cumstances have now arrived for sett lement.
\ Dollar in Credit is worth Tens of Dollars in
Silver or Gold. A Response In the carly
passing days by our Ledger Record of patr ons

which we are now SO extensively preparing
ourselves to accommodate and extend.

The Singer Sewing Machine.

Over one million and half in use. The
most durable and lightest running machine in
the world. As an evidence, the Singer, Rem
iugton and Wheeler & Wilson were invented
about the same time and put into market, and
at the present day the Singer has over one
million and half in use, the Wheeler & VIII
son has about five hundred thousand and the
Remington has the small, insignificant mum.
Der of five thousand nine hundred and fifty
three, which can be seen on the upper end OF
the needle burr, which makes the Remington
the last choice OF the people, and they would
not have sold one quarter that number had
they not sold them under fictitious name.
For many years the Remington machine CON-
pany have attempted to force their machines
on the market as the Remington, but failed,
which reminds me of several occurrences.
Fifteen years ago the third day of July, l was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with a
friend by the name Of d. II. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler Il
Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler &
Wilson agent had confidence enough in bis
machine to sell it on Its own reputation, but
the Remington agents confidence failed him,
and he attempted to sell 1t as the improved
Weed. Some five years ago, while was SELL
ing the Howe, l happened to meet an agent
that was selling the Remington. lie had as
little confidence IN his machine as the first
one l met, and he attempted to sell it as the
improved Howe, and have been credltably
informed that the Remington agents are sell
ing their machines here as the improved
Singer, which is false. There is no improved
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through me. Those who wish to buy the
Remington are welcome to, but 1 deem it my
duty to inform the good people of the South
west, through the columns of your paper, SO
they will not be imposed upon in buying ma
chimes. A machine that cannot be sold on
its own reputation should not be sold on the
merits of a machine that has been long tried
and proved, without doubt, the best in the
world. The impositions offered are OF the
deepest dye. W. MASON,
General Agent for the Southwest.

one Of the drunken Salt Lakers.
You've got no legal authority to ar
rest him, so just take your claws of
him or Pn-"
This is my authority" said Pete
Mckay, drawing, hispistol. "Tm a
citizen OF Custer, and intend to turn
this man over to the city Marsh
al Who dares to interfere with
me?'
NO oner' answered one or two
of the bystanders, and half a dozen
pistols flashed out of their scab-
bards,sHd for several minutes there
was an ominous silence in the group.
1t was a fine tableau. There lay the
victim of a drunken rufI1an's reck
lessness, the brains slowly oozing
from a hole in the forehead. Over
him stood the sobered rufIiian, pale
and paralyzed with horror, while pis-
tol in hand stood the merchant,
grasping the shoulder of the sub
missive Milligan, behind him q doz-
en- or more miners, hunters and en-
igrants, silent, determined merchant,
whlle opposite them was ranged the
Salt Lake party, irresolute and sur
prised. 1t was a critical period in
the history of Custer. A shot from
either side would have resulted in a
terrible slaughter. The least at
tempt to rescue Milligan would have
brought forth volly from the citi-
zens, and then Judge Lynch would
have been called on to finish up the
business.
Marshal Burrow soon arrived and
took charge of the prisoner. A jury
was at once empanneled and a
frontier trial commenced in a little
log cabin, the home, Office, bedroom
and courtroom of the provisional
Judge. The trial was brief; the
principal witness was the reporter;
nearly all the other spectators at the
tragedy were too drunk to remem-
Der what transpired. The six jury
inen brought in verdict of "not
guilty" And then the acquitted
man was arrested for shooting with
in the city limits and fined s25 and
cost, which was paid, and Milligan
started forth a free man, to drink,
bragg and shoot again should the
spirit prompt him to do so. This
is a true sketch of Black Hills life
and fully illustrates one Of the pecu.
liar phases of frontier justice as ex
ecuted by a people who govern
themselves in Il little republic Of
their own.

A Printers Dream.


A pdnter sat in his Office chair,
his boots were patched and his coat
theardbare, and his face looked
weary and worn with care. While
sadly thinking of business debt,
Morpheus slowly round him crept,
and before he knew it he soundly
slept; and sleeping, he dreamed
that he was dead, from trouble and
toll his spirit fed, and that not even
a cow-bell tolled for the peaceful
rest of his cow-hide sole. As he
wandered among the shades, that
smoke and schorch in lower Hades,
he shortly observed an iron door
that creakingly swung on hinges
ajar, but the entrance was closed
with a red-hot bar, and Satan him
self stood peeping out, and watching
for travellers thereabout, and thus TO
the passing printer spoke; "Come
in, my dear, it shall cost you moth
ing and never fear; this is
the place where I cook the ones
who never pay their subscription
sums, for though in life they may
escape, they will find when they are
dead it is TOO late; 1 will show you
the place where / melt them thin,
with red hot chains and scraps oi
tin, and also where / comb theil
heads with broken glass and melted
lead, ard If of refreshment they only
think, there's boiling water for them
to drink; there's the red-hot grind
stone to grind down their nose, and
red-hot rings to wear on their toes
and If they mention they don't like
fire, I'll sew up their mouths witt
red-hot wire; then, dear sir, yor
should see them squirDI, while
roll them over and cook TO turn.
With these last wards the printer
awoke, and thought it all q practi
cal joke, but still at times 30 rea
did it seem, that he can not believ'
it was all a dream; and often b.
thinks with a chuckle and grin, .
those who save their tin, and neve
pay the printer.

Another investigation has dis
covered what ails Carl Sehurz. The
man who has found him out writes
about it as follows from Milwaukee
to the Chicago Times: The trouble
with Schurz is-and up here in
Wisconsin we know him better than
he is known elsewhere-he is a
born revolutionist agitator. Tilden
means peace, conservatism, quiet; a
calm after a long and fearful
storm; the restoration of public
credit, of the currency, of prosper
ous and wholesome honesty; still
ness in the Union, which makes the
least interesting but most comforta
ble period in national history
s0uiet to quick bosoms is a hell,
saws our old friend Byron; and sucI
condition of things would b.
nearly hell TO Carl Schurz."
