The Rush to the Black Hills.

The number of new buildings in pro-
cess of erection at Sidney is something
surprising. Some of them are substan-
tial and of fine architectural beauty.
Business is very brisk and rents high.
The travel to the Black Hills from this
point will average about 100 persons per
day. They go in teams, on foot and by
stage. There seems to be great
scarcity of transportation, and those
having teams bound for the Hills find
no difficulty in securing passengers and
freight. They charge from $12 to $15
or passage, carrying from fifty to 100
pounds of baggage, the passengers
walking most of the distance. The most
OF the people going to the gold beds are
sensible and, apparently, Woodworking
men. OF course, the town is filed with
gamblers and thieves, and, judging by the
signs on the places of business, whisky is
the principal article of traffic.
Early in the morning, if you are OBJ
servant, you will see coming down from
the hills, out of barnyards, box cars and
from every conceivable place where a
man could sleep, hordes of tramps, who
are entirely destitute of money or pro-
visions, all animated by an ambition to
go to the Black Hills, and it is probable
that most of them will succeed in get
ting there.-Sidney (NeJ. Letter to the
omaha Bee.

The War and Its ASPECTS.
[From One Chicago Tribune.l

What end shall we forecast for this re.
newal of the old, inevitable struggle be-
tween the past and the present, between
Asia and Europe? If not the last en-
counter of the two, it will have much of
the character of final one. 1t may not
reverse the history of more than four
centuries ago, and present to us Sultan
Hamid falling like Constantine Paleo-
LOCUS, before the shattered walls of Con-
stantinople; but it will at least decide
the tenure of Moslem rule in Europe.
The Turks themselves feel this, with the
true instinct of an imaginative race the
common soldier knows it as well as the
Pasha who commands his division. Rus
STA will find on the Danube a wall of ia
naticism, no less than of fire and steel
The recent successes in Servia, and the
recollections of 1858 and "a, will con-
tribute still further to inspire the Turk
ish armies; they will fight fiercely and
stubbornly, and it will require equal
courage and very skillful generalship to
break their line OF defense.
Our expectation of the results of the
war, briefly stated, is this: that, after a
desperate resistance, Turkey will be
forced to succumb; that Russia will con-
tent herself with a slice of Armenia, q
new harbor on the southern shore of the
Black sea, and her former European
boundary, including one mouth of the
Danube; that she will lay no hand on
Constantinople, stop short of any pro-
ceeding which might provoke the armed
intervention of other powers, and leave
Turkey a phantom existence in Europe
for few years longer. But the infiu.
ences which the war will set in motion
are incalculable, and it is possible that
the end may be very different from that
which We have prognosticated. -Ncu

A Country Bride.

A few days since there arrived at the
Sherman House, Chicago, newly -mar-
ried couple. 1t was apparent at first
sight that they were unused to city
ways, but the bride was so radiant with
the fresh bloom that country life and air
alone can give that the groom was en-
We'd by all the young men who make
that hotel their abiding place. The
morning after their arrival, the chamber
maid visited the young couples room, at
the unconscionably early hour of
o'clock. A "come in" answered her
knock, and on entering the room she
found the bed made up and the room
in the neatest kind of order. The cham
bermaid was astonished to find all her
work anticipated, and proposed to sweep
the room while the young couple were
III the dining-room. "Why," was her
answer, "we had breakfast two hours
ago." During the stay of the couple,
the chambermaid had no work to do in
their room. The revelation to the SER
want that woman in hotel could do
something for herself, was strange one,
and was duly reported. The young men
took n deeper interest in the little lady
who knew how and was not afraid to edo
up" her own room, and the example be-
coming contagious infected the other
ladies in the hotel, much to the satisfac-
ton of the chambermaids.

The Consumption OF Cotton.

The supply of cotton goods to the
world is mainly furnished by Great
Britain and the United States. The
consumption of cotton goods in this
country is equal to twelve pounds per
head of the population, while in Europe
it is only equal to five pounds per head.
The cotton manufacture in Great Britain
retained for home consumption is about
six pounds per head, and ON the CONT
nent of Europe not over four and half
pounds. The exports from Great
Britain to countries other than Europe
and the United States is 800, 600, 600
pounds, while 100000 pounds are
sent from the United States. The ex-
port of cotton fabrics to Asia, Africa,
South and Central America, Mexico, and
Australia is less than one pound of cot
ton per head to the population 1t fol-
lows, then, that only one-ffth of the
population of these countries is supplied
by machine made cotton. There re-
main, therefore, outside of the United
States and Europe, 800, 900, 900 of people
whose clothing consists mainly of cotton
cloth, who are yet supplied by hand
spun and woven cloth. To supply those
people with machine-made cotton ut
the rate of five pounds per head will
require 100000 additional bales of
cotton year and 40, 100000 additional
spindles

One Thousand Millions of Municipal
Indebtedness.

The Public, of New York has, prepared
summary of the debts of cities in this
country as far as they can be ascertained,
and makes the total to be 81, 004, 900. 600.
In 1870 the reported debts of the munic-
ipalities recorded in the census amounted
to $269, 035,5 5l. Since that time there
has been an increase to S774, 069, 104, OF
176 per cent. The debt of other munich
palities was 1853, 20S, 979 in 1870, and this,
with the interest that has naturally nc
crued, carries the total up to 1907, 512,
$50. Adding to this an estimated in
crease for the past year, we have the
present municipal Indebtedness of the
country at 81, 004, 100000. Commenting
on these facts, the Public says
1T seems safe to say that the interest
on municipal debts, though not fully
paid, involves tax OF about $50, 000,-
600 yearly. This large sum must be
paid i'll addition to the cost of municipal
government, which was over $114, 000,-
600 in 1870, and has largely increased
since that time. 1t is probably much
within the truth to say that the munich
pal governments and debts cost us $780,
100000 yearly, and i'll addition we pay
about $145, 900, 600 for State and county
purposes, while the revenue of the
United States Government is 1924, 600, :
600. About 1929, 600, 600 yearly we pay
in taxes, besides about $50, 900, 900 for
postal service, and unknown sums in fees
to various Federal, State, and local Off
Gals. And, after paying more than $l5
per capita for government of various
sorts, besides untold millions in fees,
we still find municipal debts increasing
at the rate of more than So per capita
yearly. In 1870 the assessed valuation of
property in the country was about $14,-
000,000,000. Taxation for various forms
OF government exceeds Al per cent.
yearly of that valuation, and, moreover,
the increase of municipal debt is about
z per cent. yearly. We either pay in
taxes, or run into debt, at the rate OF B.
per cent. yearly on the assessed value
of all property, and still we wonder that
we do not prosper"

A COttOn.Picking Machine.

The cotton gin created a revolution in
the cost and production of this import
ant fleece. Recently another invention
has been perfected which may produce
almost as marked an effect as the cotton
gin. It is the picker. 1t is wagon-like
machine which is driven through the
ripened fields and picks clean every
scrap of cotton lint, and nothing except
cotton, and saves the labor of 100 hands.
Where the price of the staple may go &c
with this invention in general use it is
impossible to fathom. The machine is O
North Carolina affair, and is said to dc
good work.

ministered. For denouncing the Grand
Vizier's exile as unconstitutional, Said
Effendi, a writer in the Aussarak, is
kept a prisoner, with a chain
around his body and letters on his feet.
These incidents, which are telegraphed
from Pera to the London Times, show
that the abolition of inhuman modes of
punishment, which has been decreed in
a hundred imperial firmans, is hollow
farce.

The Proper Temperature.

DR.. Richardson, of England, who is
now recognized as a high authority on
matters of domestic hygiene, says that
81 deg. Fahrenheit is the right degree OF
temperature for health, and that those
engaged in literary or artistic work can
not possibly be too careful on this point.
If their labor be prolonged or severe,
the temperature may be allowed to run
up to SO deg. or even 10 deg. The same
rule applies to all sedentary persons and
children studying. Our rooms here are
apt to be OF least 10 degrees too hot for
healthy p ~sons

The Longest Railway.

It is claimed that the most extensive
line of railway in the world is that of
the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
Company. At the close of 1875 the line
in operation comprised 3,195 miles, and
1,22S9 miles more are being built, or
concessions therefor have been obtained.
Thus, when complete, the system will
embrace 4, 4239 miles, and the directors
are contemplating q still further extern

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Red Ridinc-Hood,

fNct lltinS -iOOu.
ON the wide lawn the snow lay deep,
Ridged DER with many drifted heap;
The wind that through the pine-trees sung
The naked elm boughs tossed aud swung;
While, through the window, frosty-starred,
Against the sunset purple barred,
We saw the somber crow flap by,
The hawks gray feck along the sky,
The crested blue-iay nitting swift,
The squirrel posing on the drift,
Erect, alert, his thick gray tail
Set 10 the north wind like a sail.
1t came TO pass. our little lass,
With hattened face against the glass,
And eyes in which the tender dew
OF pity shone, stood gazing through
The narrow space her rosy lips
Had melted from the frost's eclipse
%'Oh, see, )" she cried, the poor blue-jays
What Is il that the black crow says?
The squirrel hfte his little legs
Because he has no hands, and begs;
He's asking for my nuts, know:
May not feed them on the snow?"
Half lost within her boots. her head
Warm-sheltered in her hood of red,
Her plaid skirt close about her drawn,
She 1oundered down tho wintry lawn;
Now struggling through the misty veil
Blown round her by the shreking gale;
Now sinking in drift so low
Her scarlet hood could scarcely show
It's dash of color on. the snow.
She dropped for bird and beast forlorn
Her little store of nuts and corn,
And thus her tiInid guests bespoke:
Come squirrel, from your hollow oak
Come, black Old crow-come, poor blue-jay
Before your supper's blown away!
Don't be afraid we all are good:
And I'm mammals Red RidingHood!"
o Thou. whose care is over all,
Who heedest cen the sparrows fall,
Keep in the little maiden's breast
The pity which is now its guest
Let not her cultured years make less
The childhood charm of tenderness,
But let her feel a. well as know,
Nor harder with her polish grow.
Unmoved by sentimental grief
That walls along some printed leaf,
But prompt with kindly word and deed
To own the claims of all who need,
Let the grown woman's self make good
The promise Of Red Riding-Hood!
