A Thrilling Scene.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger, who was present at a review of
the Austrian cavalry, narrates the fol-
lowing incident: SIT is a grand sight
twenty to forty thousand horses,
where each and every horse knows and
understands the slightest note of a bu-
gle, sweeping over a broad plain, and
changing positions like an enormous
machine guided By an unerring master
hand. 1t must be seen to be appreciat-
ed; words cannot reproduce the picture.
On a certain occasion an event trans
pired which lent an interest most thrill
ling to the military scene. 1t was at a
review, held at Vienna, on the occasion
of the fifth anniversary of the establish
ment of the military of Maria Theresa.
Not far from thirty thousand cavalry
were in line. A little child-a girl
of not more than four years, standing
in the front row of spectators, either
from fright or some other cause, rushed
out into the open field just as a squad
1Oh VI huooulo I'LL ohOVPlh5 iObAN
from the main body They had made
the detour for the purpose Of saluting
the empress, whose carriage was drawn
up in that part of the parade ground.
Down came the flying squadron, charg-
ing at a mad gallop-down directly upon
the child. The mother was paralyzed, as
were others, for there could be no rescue
from the line of spectators. The en-
press uttered a cry of horror, for the
child's destruction seemed Inevitable
and such terrible destruction-the
tramping to death by a thousand iron
hoofs.
Directly under the feet of the horses
was the little one-another instant must
seal its doom-when a stalwart hussar
who wal in the front line, without slack
ing his speed or l~oosening his hold leaned
over by the side ofhis horse's neck, seiz-
ed, lifted the child, and placed it in safety
upon his saddle bow; and this he did
without changing his pace or breaking
the correct alignment of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices hailed with rap
turous applause the gallant deed, and
other thousands a~pplauded when they
knew. Two women there were who
could only sob forth their gratitude in
broken accents-the mother and the
empress.
And a proud and happy moment must
it have been for the hussar when his
emperor, taking from his own breast the
richly enamelled cross of the Order of
Maria THERESA, hung it on the breast of
his brave and gallant trooper.

THE BLACK Hills.
Interest to Those Who
are Going There.
Cheyenne as an Quitting
Point.

In answer 10 the many cOmmunlca-
tions which we receive daily, we have
compiled the following budget of infor-
nation, for the benefit of all those who
are afflicted with the Black Hills fever.
While it is not as complete as we
might desire and promise to make it,
we think it will answer most of the
questions asked. The first query pro-
pounded is whether we really believe
there is gold in the Black Hills. This
has been too well proven to admit of
doubt. Good judges who have the
mean of knowing, estimate the amount
of gold brought from the Hills during
the year 1875, at a million and a half of
dollars; as much more remains undoubt-
ly in the hands of miners and merchants
in the several settlements; for it is only
recently that the Cheyenne and Black
Hills Stage company has commenced
to carry gold dust with a guarantee of
safe delivery.
Gold is found in paying quantities in
nearly all the mining districts opened.
The richest discoveries in placer and
made on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, and along these creeks cluster
the principal mining towns in the Black
Hills.
Owing to the hostility of the Indians
the mountain ranges west and north of
Deadwood received last year but lit
tie attention from the prospector; but
it is known that that section also
abounds in gold and silver, which dur
ing the present year will be brought to
light by the hardy miner.
= How to Reach the Black Hills.
Without decrying any of the propos-
ed routes from points on the Upper
Missouri river, we assert that the route
from Cheyenne northward is the safest,
speediest, cheapest and best to reach the
Black Hills. Cheyenne is at the juno
ton Of the two competing railroads from
the East-the Union Pacific and Kan
sas Pacific. 1t will be two days. rail-
road travel to Cheyenne from Chicago
or st. Louis. The following table will
show the distance and present rate of
fare from these two points to Cheyenne:

We are credibly informed by the rep

panies, that special rates will be given
from Chicago to Cheyenne, to Black
Hills parties, which will be at least one
third less than the above rates.

Enon Cheuenne To the BLACK Hills
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-02-14
From cheyenne 10 the BLACK Hills.


A fine natural road, over which the
United States mails have been carried
for many years, leads from Cheyenne
to Fort Laramie, a distance of ninety
miles. This route passes through a
settled country, and good ranches are
found at convenient distances from
each other. From Fort Laramie to
Custer and Deadwood City a good wag-
on road is found, which has recently
been shortened by III county officers,
thus reducing the distance necessary to
be travelled by freight teams over sixty
miles. The whole distance from Chey-
enne to Deadwood over thisroadis about
two hundred and thirty miles. The
Cheyenne and Black Hills Stage COM
pany, Luke Voorhees,, superintendent,
makes at present tri-weekly trips over
this road to Custer and Deadwood, car
rying passengers, express matter and
the U. S. mails. Earlyin the spring this
company will puton a daily line of coach
es and, with a superb outfit of horses
and stages, well-kept stations at con-
venient points, and reasonable charges,
this stage line will continue to be the
only first-class line of communication
between the Black Hills mining towns
and the outside world. !
The Stage company sells first class
tickets to Custer at $3.50 to Deadwood
City, $4,000.

This route follows the old stage road
travelled last year. When Wards cut
off from Hat creek, via Old Woman's
Fork to Pleasant Valley is completed,
land he is under contract to have the
road ready for travel by March 31st,)
this route will be shortened over sixty
miles. The stage stations will be trans
ferred to the new road, and the dis
lance to be travelled by the Cheyenne
and Black Hills coaches will thus be
reduced to 230 miles.

"On to Big Horn"

of the north is destined to completely
overflow the Black Hills, and before the
close of III or early in '7S, at the far

be heard in the land and the myriads of
gold seekers will pass thither. Here

Fifteen Months for Ri { ..s<1.

One dollar and half is very low yearly subscription rate for a newspa- per. tis only twelve and q half cents per month. Butw are anxious to get all the masses more in the habit of reading. We know that if they will read their county paper they will keep better posted and be more prosperous they will think more and he more prac- tical and provident and better times will be brought about. Urged on by this desire we now make this offer, to-wit: to everybody who will remit us one dollar and fifty cents we will send the DEMOCRAT from now until the lst day of January 1879. Is not this as liberal as you could ask, and cannot every man in Pope County who is any man at all afford to take his county paper at this low figure. Send us your money at once and have your names enrolled on our subscription books, and you will never, never, never regret it.

Renovation, not Prostration.

Did any enfeebled human being ever become strong under the opera tion of powerful cathartics or sali wants? It is sometimes necessary to regulate the bowels, but that cannot be done by active purgation, which 'exhansts the vital forces and serves no good purposes whatever. The only true way to promote health and yigor, which are essential to regular ity of the organic functions, is to in
 yigorate, discipline and purify the system at the same time. The ex- traordinary efficacy of Hostcltcr's Stomach Bitters in cases of debility or lrregnlarity of the organs of di
 gestion, assimilation, secretion and discharge, is universally admitted. Appetite, good digestion, regular habit of body, active circulation of the blood, and purity of all the ani- nal fluids are induced by this su- perb tonic and corrective. It has no equals. moreover, as preventive of chills and fever, and other types of malarial disease. To emlgrants and travellers it is particularly ser yieeable as medicinal safeguard.
