Black Hills will be most thoroughly
tested this season. A large acreage has
been fenced and planted on Spring,
Rapid and Spearfish creeks, and the
crops are reported to be in thriving
condition. Already fresh vegetables
have appeared in the Deadwood and
Custer markets, and the growers are
reaping n rich harvest of dust.

The perspiration to great extent dep
nrates the Blood, that is, it carries off
its impurities. If the pores become
INSTRUCTED, these impurities, when they
do not remain latent in the circulation,
cause eruptions. The remedy for this

The Murdered McLachlan.
The coroner's jury in the McLachlan
case held an inquest Sunday afternoon
and rendered u verdict to the effect
that deceased came to his death from
the effects of 4 gun-shot wound infict-
ed by some person to the jurors I'M
known.
The body of McLachlan, which was
brought to the city last Saturday night.
was buried on Sunday morning, MI.
James B. Woods, of the Big Horn sta
bles, taking charge of the funeral. 1t
is probable that his relatives will order
the body taken up and forwarded to
McLachlan's old home in Nova Scotia
for burial. Mr. Woods received a tele-
gram from d. McLachlan, a brother of
the murdered man, who resides at
S~hubanacadie, Nova Scotia, on Sunday
morning asking if his brother had been
found, and an answer was returned to
the effect that his body had been dis
covered, that particulars had been for
warded by mail, and also requesting
directions as to burial. To this no re-
ply has yet been received.
The evidence as given before the cor-
oner's jury, went to show that Nc
Lachlan, who had driven some distance
off the road, probably in order to get
better feed for his horses, was in the
act of preparing breakfast, when his
horses disappeared. He was baking,
cakes, n having been cooked, and an
other, partially done, was left lying in
the baking pan. 1t is believed that
upon seeing the thief or thieves driving
off his horses, McLachlan dropped his
bake-pan, seized his rifle, and started
in pursuit, firing as rapidly as possible;
that after the thieves had led him on
until well out of the way of pursuit or
observation, they turned, fired the fatal
shot which blew the top of McLach-
lan's head off, and left him dead. That
white men did the bloody deed is a
foregone conclusion, as had it been In
dams they would have returned, and
robbed the body. What the villains
did afterward is not known. 1t would
seem, however, that they became fear
full of capture and punishment, and
turned the stolen horses loose upon the
prairie. There is some suspicion at
tached to the Greeley granger from
whom n of the stolen horses was re-
covered some three weeks ago in this
city, and he will do well to allay this
suspicion by returning the other horse
as soon as possible, with a satisfactory
explanation as to how the team came
into his possession.
Let us hope that this dark mystery
will be speedily cleared up. The muir
derer of Jennie Martin is not known.
The murderer of the Jacksons is at
large. Shall the murderer of William
McL.achlan escape the halter

Obituary..

A epecial dispatch from Versailles
KY, in date Of May 20 to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer says:
"This community was very much
startled by the announcement THIS
morning of the death of Major Harris
H. Johnston. Major Johnston re-
tired to his room in the Versailles
House apparently in his usual good
health, and requesting to be called
early this morning. About six
o'clock this morning servant called
at his room, and after trying for some
time time to awake him became
alarmed, and Informed the proprie-
tor, Major W. j. Stitt, who placed a
ladder to the room window and en-
tered, when he found Major Johnston
cold in death. A Coroner's jury was
Immediately impanneled, and rem
dered verdict from apoplexy. The
remains we're taken late this evening
to Frankfort. He will be buried in
Louisville tomorrow evening"
The deceased was a native of this
Parish, being born on the present
"old Brown Place." adjoining the
Fair Grounds, and was the son of
Judge John Harris Johnston, so long
our Parish Judge under Louisiana's
first constitution, and was nephew
Of DR.. j. P. Davidson, also an old
citizen of Rapides. The father Of
the deceased was one Of the three re-
markable and talented brothers, so
we'll and favorably known here in
past days. We allude to our former
U. S. Senator, Josiah Stoddard John
ston, and the late great Confederate
Commander, General Albert Sydney
Johnston. All of these we knew in
our young days, and remember we'll
the deceased as a promising and
bright lad. Al of that great family
have nearly passed away, only two
to our knowledge being living. J.
Stoddard Johnston, the brother of
the deceased, is the present Secretary
of the State Of Kentucky, and
is a prominent statesman of
that State, rejecting honor
on bis Louisiana and his honored
parentage. Willie S. Johnston,
native of Rapides, and now resi-
dent of Philadelphia, grand son of
the Senator, as also of the late Archie
P. Williams, Of Willow Glen, is the
other surviving member of the illus
trious family, the death of whose
kinsman we are called upon to an
nounce in these columns.

when Andrew Jackson was President,

that Tennesseean, who had been ap.

Hickory. "for the full amount, interest
included, payable in sixty days, and

the President. He took it, read 1t,

the back in his well-known autograph,
and handed it back eaying: "Tske

them from me that at its maturity II

said the auctioneer. The horse was
soon knocked down to a spectator
who had been greatly struck by the
auctioneer's honesty. After paying
for the horse, he said: "You were
honest enough to tell me that this
animal was blind in one eye-is
there any other defect?" eyes, sir,
there is! He is also blind in the
other eye"
