LIFE IN TIE BLACK HILLS.
A comstoeker's Description Of Scenes ct Dead
wood.

sNany saloons there?. Saloons all over
the place and whisky four bits drink.
They put two barrels up ON end, nail
board across for bar, and deal it out. A
miner who wants to treat pours some gold
dust on the barrel head and says, Set 'em
up They never weigh the dust, but they
never say word, and if he's little tight
and pours out ten or fifteen dollars worth
they never mention it. They have three
faro banks running all the while. They
don't use checks for the boys when they
won pile of checks they threw 'em all
over the place, and some were too drunk
to handle 'em. So the checks got played
out. Now man puts little gold dust in
a dollar greenback and it goes for two
dollars. Ten dollars worth of dust in
ten-dollar greenback goes for twenty dol
lars, and SO on. They never weigh dust
at all, but guess the amount y Have
you daily paper?" "Yes, sometimes
it's daily, and then when the compositors
get drunk it don't come out for several
days. If man wants gun-wadding he
goes and pays four bits for paper. When
ever they start new city government they
print lot Of ordinances; then there's
grand rush for the paper. Sometimes it
comes out twice week and sometimes
twice a day. ." Much shooting?" "Oh,
yes the boys are all on the shoot. Every
man carries about fourteen pounds of fire
arms hitched to his belt, and they never
pass any words. The fellow that gets his
gun out first is the best man, and they lug
off the other fellows body. Our graveyard
is big institution, and a growing one.
Sometimes, however, the place is right
quiet. I've known times when a man
wasn't killed for twenty-four hours. Then
again, perhaps, they'd lay out five or six
a day. When a man gets too handy with
his shootin' irons, and kills five or six,
they think lie isn't safe, and pop him over
to rid the place of him. They don't kill
him for what he has done, but what he's
liable TO do. suppose that the average
deaths amount to about one hundred a
month but the Indians kill some."-Vir-

SALES OF WAR MATERIAL.-We read
that both Russia and Turkey have for some
time past been sending large orders for
small arms and cartridges to the United
States. Asupply Of Colts rifle machinery
had been sent to Russia, and is turning out
large numbers of rifles for the Russian
army. - The humber already manufactured
in Russia by machinery purchased by Gen.
Gorloff from Colts Rifle Company is estI-
mated at 3,000, 900. Russia has also during
the past year imported from another Amer-
ican firm 100000 pistols. There has likes
wise been perfected in America what j..
now called the Russian cartridge, 30, ,000,-
600 of which have been made in Bridge
port, Conn. Cartridge machinery has also
been sent from America to Russia, and
400, 600 cartridges are being manufactured
daily at st. Petersburg and Moscow. The
Turkish government has entered into a
contract with the Rhode Island Company
for the supply OF 500, 600 Martini Henry
rifles, of which $50, 900 have already been
shipped 100000 more are ready for export
and materials for another 100000 are on
hand at the works.

Railroad from Denver to Salt Lake.

The Colorado Pacific Railway Company
have filed articles of incorporation in the
Office of the Secretary Of State. It is the
object to construct railroad from Denver
to Salt Lake, and if names amount to any
thing, they have those in the list that will
go far towards rendering the road GER
tainty. Capital stock, SIC, 0O0, 900, divided
into 100000 shares OF 800 each. The
principal place of business in this State will
be in Denver, at which place most Of the
City will be the seat of business in Utah
Territory.
assures us that the company has been Or
ganized with the positive intention of build
ing the road. He has long had the pro-
ject in view, has indeed been agitating it
for several years: Eastern capitalists have
already had their attention directed toward
the line, and they will certainly gladly put
their capital into it. He says the survey
will be begun early this spring, and thinks
the day not far distant when the locomo-
tives will be steaming across the country
between Denver and the Far West.
It is the opinion Of Mr., Hughes that the
route will be generally along or near the.
line of the wagon road opened by him in
the year 1865 from Springville, Utah, to
Denver. He has no doubt that d railway
can be built from Denver over any Of sew
eral different routes to the mouth Of White
river, to point opposite the mouth Of the
Uintah river.and thence up the Uintah and
it's branches to Strawberry valley, and
thence across the main range of the Wasr
atch mountains to the waters of Hobble
creek, and thence to Springville by an easy
grade. Springville is five miles south of
Provo City and 50 miles south of Salt Lake
City. He says that the White and Uintah
river country exhibits large beds of the best
coal, pronounced by Professor Denton of
Boston to be equal to the coal of New .
Brunswick. 1&
Mr.. Hughes favors the route hence via
Berthold Pass to Hot Sulphur Springs,
thence across to White river, and down the
same through the vast coal beds of that
stream.-Denssr Tribune.

CAMILLE.
The Last Of Matilda Heron On the Stage Of
Life.

New York, March s.-The World has
these details of the death of Matilda
Heron: She lay wrapped in an old shawl
which for years she had carried with her
wherever she went and which she valued
because her brother died wrapped in it.
When an attendant attempted to remove
it in order to arrange her bed, the dying
woman said don't take it away want to
die in it; my brother died IN it, you know.
Yesterday afternoon she told Biou she
had given up all for her. She made her
peace with heaven and now she wanted to
die. Towards. the last she fell into doze,
and on waking said in low tone, "Poor
Tilly never did any harm to any one."
These were about sher last words. Her
daughter, Bijou, was allowed to kiss the
death face and then vacated the room. She
was pale and quiet, moving as if mechanic
ally, and murmuring, stpoor mamma"
She had been afflicted a long time with
internal disease, which caused her great
suffering, and for the past three months
confined her to her bed. Her eccentric
disposition prevented her at first from con-
senting to consult physicians, and by neg
lect, her disease made rapid strides until it
became well nigh incurable. About a
month ago she was prevailed upon to con-
suit physician, who recommended sur
gical operation which was successfully per-
formed, and the patient had a fair pros
pect of recovery, but she neglected to diet
herself as advised, and last Monday she left
her lodgings and removed to the house
where she died. The excitement and IA
tigue of moving out aggravating the case.
Her domestic life was unhappy. All the
money she made by Camille was spent.
Her marriage with Stachel, and her latter
days would have been spent in actual pow
erty but for the salary which her daughter
earned on the stage.

Execution of the Murderer of "Wild
Bill " at Yanktor, Dakota.

YANKToN, March 1.-At quarter past
10 o'clock this forenoon John Mccall was
executed under direction of United States
Marshal for the murder of John b. Hitch
cock wild BilD in the Black Hills the I'd
Of August last. Mccall was young man
of about 25 years. He behaved through
out with the utmost GOODNESS and nerve.
He was attended during the last few days
by Catholic priest, and while not denying
his crime appeared to regard his sentence
as just, and evidently endeavored to go
prepared to enter the next world in q prop
er spirit. 1t is ascertained that John Nc
Call is his true name, and that he has
father, mother, and three sisters risiding in
Louisville. To one of the latter he wrote
very feeling letter last night, in which he
seemed fully reconciled to hisfate. Great
credit is due to the United States Marshal
for the careful preparations made and the
manner in which his unpleasant duty was
performed.

The marriage of the Hon. Mrs. Norton,
sI-~>.Ai- --A+ ..,anxr,actad- 10 af the most
extraordinary social events of the day. The
fair bride must have nearly, If not quite,
reached the age Of three score years and
ten, and the cable dispatch informs us that
she is afflicted with chronic rheumatism,
which confines her to her chair. The
bridegroom, Sir William Stirling Maxwell
who is better known to the world by his
fathers name of Stirling, having assumed
the name of Maxwell, with the baronetcy,
since "The Cloister Life of Charles v"
made his literary reputation-is himself no
chicken; but he is ten years younger than
his bride, who was a noted woman of soci-
ETY. while he was at school, and that is a
long while ago. The Sheridans have been
a brilliant family through many genera
tions, and Richard Brinsley himself was
scarcely more famous than were his son
Thomas Sheridan's three beautiful daugh-
ters, celebrated in the albums of the Gay
as "l'he Three Graces." One them be-
came Ghe DucneSS OF o0In6ISeG, the SecOuo
Lady Dufferin, the author of "The Irish
Emigrapt's LAMENT" and the mother of
the present Governor General of Canada,
and the third, Caroline Elizabeth Sarah,
who published poems at the age of twelve,
was married at nineteen to the Hon. Geo.
Chapple Norton, Recorder Of Guilford, the
younger brother of Lord Grantley. They
were separated after eight or nine years,
and the scandal about them lasted for
long time, though whatever Of it rightly at
tached to Mrs. Norton appears to have long
since been lived down. Norton died a
couple of years ago, and it is to be hoped
that his widows second matrimonial e1pe-
riment, though long deferred. may prove
happier one. 1t is little difficult for those
of us who have Heard our grandmothers
sing s. Bingen on the Rhine" long years
ago to think of the author of that ancient
song putting on grange blossoms at this
late day.
