Causes Of Fever and Ague.

There has long existed diver sity Of
opinion in regard to the principa
causes of intermittent fever. Many
years ago it was generally supposed to
be produced by the malaria of marshy
districts. and residence in that vicin-
ity was considered hazardous. We will
not say that malaria from marshes has
nothing to do with intermittent and
other fevers; but we do not believe
i. is the chief cause Of their develop
mont.
We are acquainted with many fami-
lies that have lived for years on the
borders of marsh lands and have en-
joyed perfect health all the tune,
while tn, residents Of the high lands
near them have suffered greatly from
fevers
We are somewhat skcptical as to
the power of miasm arising from
natural marshes 70 produce disease
Where the water Of mill ponds is drawn
out during the day. and q mass Of veg
etable matter is exposed to the heat of
the sun, or where large masses Of earth
are thrown up from considerable depth
below the surface, sickness is almost
certain to prevail in the neighborhood.
and often extends for miles around.
Batting these causes of fever, which
causes are entirely artificial, we do not
believe that locality has much to do in
producing them. Imprudence in dre.s
IN diet. and in the habits Of life gener
ally. will sooner or later bring disease !;
n little sooner. perhaps. in localities
where the climate is not perfectly sslu.
brious since another element is added
10 those that already exist.
He who expects to enjoy immunity
from illness by simply selecting .
healthy place OF residence without the
exercise Of prudence i'll living will be
disappointed. There is no doubt that
the principal cause of nearly every
form of fever and many other diseases
is impure water. Second in order is

A Black Hills Mystery.

Abou. four weeks ago, party Of .
dozen miners. lured BY the gorgeous
stories of some adventurous comrades
who had wsndsred westward from
Dcadwooi toward Wolf mountains, and
reported that gold in fabulous quantities
abounied IN the aulches Of thst unex-
piored range. outf,ted aud started for
the new discoveries. They did not vis-
il their intended destination, for the
reason tha, upon reaching Beaver Greek
in The Bear Lodge range. sixty miles
west of Dcadwocd, they found rich pla-
Ger diggings.
Stopping to locate claims and prepare
for active operations, they prospected
along the gulch. and were one day 49,
tonished at finding evidence Of the pre-.
sence Of white miners in that locality.
\ shaft running to bedrock in the
gulch was discovered, and the men en-
tered it. From it a tunnel had been
driven, and upon going into that the
explorers were Mortified 10 find two
grinning skeletons. Near them lay
primitive mining tools, such as were in
Use ten years ago.
Hard by stood dilapidated cabin.

the men apparently having been at
work when surprised by the red demons.
1t is thought that four of the party
were outside of the shaft when the In
dians attacked them, and that they sue
ceeded in reaching the shelter of the
cabin. where they were either starved
out or killed by the more merciful bull
lets
Search was made by the discoverers
for the gold taken out by the hapless
men. appearances indicating that they
had mined for quite long time, but
none was found aud as the Sioux
chieftains understand the value of the
yellow dust. and hoard all they obtain.
it is probable that they secured and
took good care of all that had been
taken out by these pioneers. There was
no clue by which 10 trace the identity
of the brave men whose thirst for gold
had led them on To horrible death and
unknown graves. The bodies bore the
appearance of having cen dead about
ten years.
