WORDS OF CHEER FOR THE BLACK HILLS
LUNATIcs.-Those who seek death by slow
starvation will doubtless be able to find it
in the Black Hills. Flour is quoted at 10
to IL cents pound, and bacon 25, sugar 40,
salt II, and beans Is cents pound, while
molasses sells al $3.50 20 So per gallon, and
tobacco at from 81 TO $3.50 a pound. Aner
travelling $50 miles by OK or mule team
from the nearest railroad point, Cheyenne,
the gold hunter finds himself at the dig
gngs, where, if he is lucky enough TO get
good claim and Is au expert miner, he can
by hard work make dollar a day. A cor
respondent who has carefully explored the
diggings, reports that very few make that,
while the largest amount realized has been
500 per mouth, which would scarcely pay
for provisions. The correspondent of the
Kansas City Times says lie has carefully
gone over the digglngs and has not yet seen
a nugget; that no gold from the mines has
been sold at Custer City; aud that the opin-
ion of old miners there Is that the diggngs
are emphatically fraud. The excitement
is kept up, however, by the papers at Chey-
enne and other Quitting towns on the from
tier, which publish glowing accounts of tho
gold fetched back by returning miners.
But it is moro than ever manifest that no
one has returned with AS much money as
he took with him; that more gold can he
made digging bitches In Iowa or Illinois
than in the diggings, and that those who
are rushing to the Black Hills are hurry
ing TO extreme destltulion and suffering,
with all the chances that they will have TO
endure yet greater suffering In order to get
back.-CAiod0o Tribune.

The Hard Times.

The result of tho panic, and the conse-
quence of the hard times which have fol-
lowed in its wake, have been sufficient to
try the courage of the strongest men.
Families which had lived in comfort and
ease have been suddenly reduced to pow
erty and distress. The man with wife
and children dependent upon him, finds
d. himself obliged 10 cut down expenses TO Il
minimum, and TO commence new s,rug-
gle in the world; and the youth with a
mother and sisters to provide for, is thrown
out of employment, perhaps, and vainly
seeks new place. Mechanics find scanty
occupation, and large numbers of profess
ional and educated men are idle. 1t is
much the same story everywhere. Tho
sad reality thrusts itself upon our notice
in everyday life, among friends, neighbors
and acquaintance, and the reelection is by
10 means pleasant. But what have men of
true courage to do under such circumstan-
ces? Can the troubles be removed by
Tears or groaps? What avails il TO mourn
over the past? We have TO deal with the
present, and it presses on us daily with its
cares and its wants. There is but one right
situation with all the hardships which be-
long TO it, and then to set forth vigorously
and manill!y in the work of c-establish-
ment. Success may not come at once, but
earnest, perseverng etluils will accom-
plish the purpose at length, as certainly as
they have in times past. Continued stag
nation in the industrial pursuits of man
kind is as impossible as the extension of
winter through the summer months, and
soon, almost before we are fully conscious
oft, the country will have started up The
manifold and complicated machinery of
business throughout lis length and breadth.
II is the time for hope, not for desponden-
cy. Recovery is at hand,-prosressing
quietly in various ways, but exciting little
attention, so gradual and continuous are
the developments. The true way TO meet
adversely, is 10 stand up strongly against
II, and contest every inch Of ground with
the unwelcome intruder. The world adj
mires pluck and respects its possessor, and
those WHO display it, and endeavor to help
themselves, are always sure to receive aid
from Others in various ways; while those
who sit down and wiring tEeir hands in ut
ter hclplessness and wretchedness, only
subject themselves 10 greater Distress
