The Power OF Music.

Music possesses a power peculiarly
its own. 1t can excite the purely emo
tional portion Of our nature to q degree
without parallel in any other art in
which q definite human feeling is not
presented to us. In its vagueness lies
concealed a readiness to adapt itself to
the expression of combined thought
and feeling with an intensity altogether
transcending any other vehicle which
our nature possesses. And the secret
of this power take to be this: Every
man and woman who thinks and feels,
except in the most commonplace and
superficial fashion, is conscious, in
some degree, to the inexplicable myste-
riousness of the life we live and of the
universe we live in. 1t is not ques-
ton of this or that theology, or of this
or that philosophy, or of this or that
mode of living All of us are conscious
of the same desire to escape from the
bondage of our personal loneliness and
Ignorance into some sort of freer atmos-
phere, in which our faculties may range
and expand in new and more unham-
pered exercise, and our enjoyment of
existence and our perceptions of truths
may become more definite and real
And it is because it puts into species
of articulate voice this undying desire,
that music exercises its spell upon those
who are sensitive to its charm.
As in all other matters, men are vari-
ously endowed in this respect, and this
endowment does not necessarily accom-
pany any other popularity of natural
endowment. At the same time, the
sensibility to music takes various forms,
in exact accordance with the rest of
mans nature. The man of shallow ma
ture likes one kind of music, the man
of thought and depth loves another
There is music which touches the weak
and morbid, but which is repellent to
all healthy and masculine minds.
There is music which by no possibility
can be understood and enjoyed by a
fool; and there is music which is essen
tally low and vulgar.-Co,nhiH Maga-
zine.

THE MISSION OF A SIMPLE FLOWER
The late Jos. Breck, of Brighton, was
once riding in horse-car, when, MOTTO
ing little girl in the car journeying
with her mother, he presented her with
q flower from a beautiful bouquet which
he held in his hand, accompanied with
one of those sweet smiles which so oft
en- broke over his countenance. Some
months after he was again riding in q
street-car, when he noticed a little girl
looking intently at him. Turning to
her he remarked: "You seem to know
me, my lady?" "Oh, yes," said the
child, eagerly; 81 remember you. for
once you gave me q flower" "Ah," "
said Mr.. Breck, smile again illuminat-

A STRANGE FREAK.-A man who evil
IDENTIFY is unworthy the name of father,
recently ran a very narrow risk while
playing ghost in order to frighten
his own children. He was an occupant
of frst-class tenement house, some
times called French flat, and one even
ing wrapped himself in sheet and
emerged suddenly from a small room
adjoining that occupied as sitting-room
by his family. The children fled into
the hallway, and the man followed them,
still keeping on his white robe. Just
then the occupant of another floor hap
pened to enter the building, and
hearing the noise, walked upstairs to
ascertain the cause. As he did so the
ghost-like form appeared, whereupon
latest conner, O rough, practical sort of
fellow, drew pistol and fired. The ball
grazed the head of the would-be ghost,
and his habiliments dropped from him
in an instant, as he retreated to his own
room. The assailant, supposing the re-
treating form to be that of thief, fred
q second shot, which fortunately missed
him, and the whole house was speedily
in an uproar. The police were summon
ed, and the parties all taken to the sta
ton, where the ghost player received a
severe reprimand. No one being hurt,
they were discharged; bat there's little
fear that those unfortunate children will
again be troubled by ghostly visitants.

THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN
Views Of a Soldicr-.vigorous and
just Treatment Urged.

uaI Ireatmcnc Urged
Having noticed misconstruction Of
his language in relation to. Indian op-
erations during the past winter Gen. Nell
son A. Miles writes a friend from Tongue
river, under date Of Feb. s, as follows:
Isee it stated in the Eastern papers that
am credited with giving it as my opin-
ion that this Sioux war is at an end.
This is evidently a misconstruct1on Of nv
language. After our success on Cedar
Creek and the Yellowstone, wrote that
I believed we had reached the ssbeginnine5
of the end, = but that much would depend
upon the course taken by the govern.
ment regarding the Indians, which
should be vigorous war against the hos
tiles and just treatment of those at the
agency, which would tend to weaken the
former and increase the latter. Even af-
ter:they are overpowered by troops in the
field the great work is not complete; the
wise and judicious management of forty
thousand Sioux Indians scattered over
such vast territory is something requir-
ing the careful attention of the govern
ment and the Jealous and hearty cooper
alton of its officers and agents. When
these people are forced to abandon their
ancient mode Of life, ample and prompt
means should be provided to enable them
toIlive, otherwise, hostilities are liable to
recur at any time.

A Grist OF Indictments~.Tria1 and
i Conviction of Peter Branlgan for
Murder and Cllas. Stuart for
Burglary sHCug ON
4 Trial for Murder..The Lawyers
Fayoritc Toast.
'sSucces to crime' is favorite toast
among the lawyers but they have no
reason to complain of the success that
crime has met with in this locality DUR
ing the winter. He'll, so to speak,
seems to have broken loose TO such an
exten: that special term Of court was
deemed necessary for the disposition of
the rapidly accumulating cases, and, to
the end that those inclined to lawless-
ness might receive warning which it
would be we'll for them to heed. The
court convened on Friday last; on
Saturday Chas. Stuart, charged with
burglary, was convicted. And on Mon
day the trial of Peter .Branlgan for the
murder of Private Massingale, Co. G..
17th U. S. Infantry, was commenced.
Tuesday evening the jury reported
verdict Of guilty Of murder in the first
degree. The defense, it is said, was
ably conducted by Messrs. Flannery,
Williams and Davis but the case seem
ed too clear to hope for anything less
than the verdict the jury found. Words
passed between the parties it is true
but the evidence shows that the poor
boy was shot down like dog and shot
twice more as he lay on the floor beg
ging for mercy. An attempt was made
to show an assault by Massingale but
the witness hired to perjure himself, on
cross examination admitted his perjury
and added to the strength of the prose-
cution. The penalty for Bran,gan's
crime is death, and he will receive the
death sentence sometime this week.
As we go to press SerSt. Houghtail
ing is on trial charged with the murder
of Joseph Kelly, private belonging to.
the 7th Cavalry; and VIM. G. EDWARDS,

From the Deadwood Pioneer of the 10th
inst, we CLEAN the following:
Ward Bill, formerly of Bismarck, has
gone to Colorado to look after the effects
Of Belmont Clark murdered while freight
ing.
Messrs. Gable, Stewart, Burke, Logan
and Lighthall have been chosen members
of the Crook City council for the ensuing
year. L. w Valentine was elected treas
urer, and Richard Mills, recorder.
Mrs. Kate Smith, OF ssHidden Treasure
No. ~ died suddenly few days ago,
Of poison, taken, probably, accidentally.
Numerous placer mines are mentioned
which yield immense returns, some of
which are operated day. and night.
Quartz bearing free gold visible to the
eye in tempting quantities seems to be
the general rule in most of the quartz dis
coveries.
A claim is mentioned in Hidden Treas
ure Gulch where one man pans out
enough gold daily to pay his eleven asso-
ciotes and a handsome little pile besides.
One quartz lode is mentioned as being
a twelve foot crevice which is worked to
a depth of ten feet with big returns.
A bonanza has been struck at the foot
of Main Street, Deadwood, which yields
18 cents to the pan; another on White
wood creek a few rods from the city which
yields forty cents to the pan.
E The depreciation of Indians is mention
ed. They confine their operations to the
more exposed settlements and never at
tack unless they think they have the drop
on the boys. In the several raids which
have been made lately, only one person
has been killed and one wounded, though
a large amount of stock has been run off.
An associated press dispatch says one
hundred and eighty head of cattle and
horses run off from the Black Hills BY the
Indians have been recovered. Also that
troops have been sent to the Hills and
ordered to attack an Indian village on the
Belle Fourche.
lack Mccall who murdered Wild Bill
a. Deadwood, will be hung tomorrow at
Yankton.
The Black Hills treaty with the Sioux
having been ratified by Congrss the coun-
try IS now open to settlement, courts
have been established and law and order
