HOnOrS to oan eX-PreSident.

A cable telegram states that Lord
Beaconsfeld's (DisraelD Cabinet has
decided that General Grant shall be re.
ceived in Eng land with the marks of
consideration bestowed on ex-sover-
eigns. This is an unusual compliment
both to the recipient and to the coun.
try Of which be was so recently the
chief ruler. The government and peo-
pie of the United States have reason to
be pleased with it, as a mark of respect
to our national dignity as we'll as a per-
sonal distinction to the most eminent
of our citizens. Now that General
Grant is out Of politics, free indulgence
will be given by his countrymen to
their national pride in his career and
their abiding gratitude for the brilliant
services which make him to this gener-
alton of Americans what the hero of
W aterloo was to the last generation of
Engllshmen. There is no true Amer
lean who will not delight to see him
honored abroad, and the country hon.
nored in the person Of its late Presi-
dent. Whatever tends to promote
kindly feelings and pleasant memories
between great powers, is an internation-
al benefit.

The Black Hills.

A correspondent from Deadwood
under date of May 18th writes as fol-
lows:
arrived in this city on the 11th
inst, was on the road twenty-one days
out of Cheyenne. I came in by the
new road (mud up to your neck). I
paid six cents per pound for my weight
and baggage, with the understanding
that l was to ride all the way; but,
alas [ soon discovered my mistake: l
had to acalk all the aeay-36G miles.
Board is SIS per week, and hard to
get at that; day-bosrd alone is $40 per
week. The town is crowded with men
out OF work and out of money The
truth OF the matter is. too many are
coming here for the Hills to support.
Wages range from 81 to 81 per day for
those that are able to get work. To-
bacco, chewing, is 81 per pound;
smoking, about sl.25 per pound;
cigars, common, Is cents; ordinary, 25
cents apiece. Flour, s2S per hundred
or 500 per barrel: how is that for
high? Potatoes Is cents per pound.
Everything is sold by the pound here
One man has got up a corner on flour,
aud has run it up from SIS to S2S per
hundred in the last three days.
Whisky is 25 cents drink, and very
poor stuff at that Every other house
is either saloon, gambling house or
house of prostitution.
This is oue Of the most lively towns
that the country has ever had; that is
what the miners here all say. Hardly
a night passes but what there are half
a.dozen fights right in the main street
of the town. My advice to people in
the States, who intend to come here to
mine, is to stay where they are, for
there are five men to every position
here. They will have to put up with
a great deal of hardships and privations
in their overland trip from Cheyenne
to Deadwood-360 miles. | speak
from experience, and, therefore ought
to know. You can make the trip by
stage from Cheyenne to Deadwood in
about six days: fare $50; meals on
the way SIS, making about $40 for
the through trip. [ came in a train of
covered wagons for about $50, but it
took me twenty-one days to get here.
Freight from Cheyenne here is cents
per pound. A dime or nickel is never
used in this country almost every
thing is rs cents. The money in cir
culatlon is gold dust and silver coin.
There are two daily papers here
the Pioneer and the Times. In size
they are about twice as large as an

The Ashland Press sa

The Ashland Press says: "Some
quarrymen in getting out stone for the
foundation of new hotel at Ashland
the other day, found enclosed in The
SOLID sandstone, about Is feet above
the surface, a fully developed toad,
weighing abou: three pounds. He pre-
sented an abnormal appearance, excep1
that, where small fssure in the rock
occurred, just in front of his head, his
starboard eye had grown into the cayi-
ty, and when removed from his prison
his eye stuck out about two inches and
half. He seemed perfectly healthy
in every respect, and on his release, he
inflated the bladder beneath his throat
and triIled hymn of rejoicing. He
is supposed to have been encased In
the rock since the Silurian period, when
the rocks and toads were in metamor-
phic state-when the Mastodon and Ich-
thyosaurus Inhabited the shores of the
great inland sea. Naturalist, wha
have examined the toad, decide that
he belongs to the genus 'Joadns cir
phanti,' species which was supposed
to have been extinct for thousands ot'
years. These Batrachians attained to
an enormous size. The bones of one
in the private museum of the late Prof.
Agazzis indicate that the reptile must
have weighed from 500 to 700 pounds.
