PRAIRIE.DOG VILLAGE.

Four hundred and thirty,6ve miles west OF
Omaha, is situated the great Prairle-Dog
City, one of the largest settlements on the
line of the Union Pacific railroad. Several
hundred acres, each side of the track, have
been taken up by the sagacious little prairie
dogs, and there they have made their homes,
and that without buying one lot from the
company, or as much as saying: by your
leave" The dwellings consist oflttle mounds,
from foot to eighteen inches in height, raised
by the dirt excavated by their burrows. On
the approach Of the train, the little inhabitants
can be seen soampering from their homes.
Arrived there, they squat upon their hams
or stand upon their hind feet at the en-
trance-a hole in the top-barking at the
train as it passes. Should any one venture
too near, down they 60, and their city is as
silent as the Getty of the dead" 1t is said
that the opening In the top leads to q subter.
raueous chamber connecting with the next
dwelling, and so on through the settlement /;
but this is a mistake. The prairie-dog is of a
sandy-brown color, and is about the size of a
large gray squirrel. In their nest, living
with them, are found the owl and the rattle
snake, thoug Oh whether welcome or not is un-
certain. He lives upon grasses and roots,
and is generally fat, and is by some, Msxcans
especially, considered good eating, as his
flesh is sweet and tender, though rather
greasy. Wolves prey on the little fellows
and may be seen sneaking near the town
hoping, by chance, to pick up some 0traggler
But the dogs are not easily caught. Some
ope is always on the lookout for danger, ano
gives the alarm on the first intimation O.
trouble. Then away they all scamper tt
their holes.
1t has always been subject of curiosity
and inquiry as to how and where prairie dogs

CoLoRED MEN IN CONGRESS- day Of
colored representatives in Congress is mum.
bered. It has been matter Of very general
remark that there are but three colored mem.
bers in the present House-Cain, Rainey and
Smslls, of South Carolina, all of whose seats
are contested by white men. In the last
House there were seven colored members, and
in the Congress before that more. 1t is the
general impression that hereafter, unless COL
ored members are elected in the Northern
States, none will ever be seen again in Con-
gress. As the three in the present Congress
have only been admitted on prina tacie cases,
on certificates manipulated by the notorious
Chamberlain and Cardozo, cooked up by the
fraudulent returning board of South Carolina,
it would not be at all strange that the House
Election Committee, after consideration OF
their cases, should give their seats to the
contestants in each instance. The colored
Congressman has been a very decided failure.
Elliott, of South Carolina, was the most prom
inent one that ever held a seat. His speeches
were remarkably good, and it was generally
believed that they were prepared for him BY
Ben Butler. Smalls, who now represents
South Carolina cons. .ituency, has just emerged
from jail, where he was confined for frauds
in that State. If the juries of that State do
their duty, they will have him in the peniten.
tiary before long. Southern States will not
elect any more colored Congressman, as even
the negroes are opposed to them.-Haryord

worth $4,000. Along with this flint vein,
there is very thin streak of brown ores, i'm
mensely rich. The miners view this flint vein
with an eye of suspicion, to have hidden in
its secret recluses, the sought for treasures;
The Martin mine is in the neighborhood OF
Broad river, in York county, where every
stream gives large showing of gold, from
the mouth of Kings creek to Bullock's creek,
distance of 12 miles. This section has never
been properly developed. Here, perhaps,
would be the very best chance for the location
of mine. Although worked to very limit
ed extent, it has paid in every instance. This
same formation, which extends through Union
county, shows on Fair Forest creek some very
rich mines.
We are too extremely poor, and have, for
the last few years. been too much harassed'
to develop our great mineral resources in this
section of the country, and know too little
how. Capital and intelligence would find this
good location for mining purposes. Capital
lists are welcomed in our limits and every en-
couragement given them. Come, at least,
and see, to Blacks Station, on the Atlanta
and Charlotte Railroad, or Yorkville, on the
Chester and Lenoir Railroad, as there will
be citizens ready to give you any information
desired. EGO.

Our AMSTERDAM LEATHER DEALINGS
The American Consul at Amsterdam, Hol-
land, reports to the State Department that
the house of Daniel Loeb used to largely ex-
port leather, principally tanned calfskins, to
the United States. The Consul, noting the
cessation of these exports, called upon the Sc
nior partner for an explanation. His answer
was "We are no longer exporters. We now
import from the United States. Affairs in
Europe are about being turned topsy:turvy
by the Yankees" He then said that not
only did the house import leather from the
United States, but that it had also begun to
import New England shoes, and that Euro
pean manufactures cannot compete either in
price or quality with the Americans.

A BUDGET OF EDITORIAL GOSSIP.

Mr.R.R. Hemphill, better known as "3ob,"
of the Abbeville Medium, and who is in Co.
lumbia, serving on one Of the investigating
committees, writes the following letter to his
paper:
We are on the eve of astonishing changes
in the political condition Of our State. For
the qualification of those who delight to spec.
ulate upon the future, I will outline what is
to be. In this scheme there is, however, q
hitch or two which will be apparent to those
who are familiar with the law. But should
everything turn out as it is predicted, there
will be "happy family" next winter.
By the admission of the Charleston delega-
ton, and other events which will undoubted-
ly take place by the time the Legislature as
sembles, the composition of that body will be
very different from what it has been, and the
way will be opened for the promotion Of
many who deserve honor. Judge Northrop
having been made United States District At
torney for South Carolina, there is vacan-
cy in the Seventh Circuit. To fill this place
we will elect Gen. w. H. Wallace, our Speak
er. Then Colonel G. H. Simonton, OF Charles
ton, will be elected Speaker. Associate JUS
tice Wright will be impeached and thrown
out of Office and in his place we ssill elect
Lieutenant-G Governor Simpson. By this time
there will be fraud enough found against
swails President pro tenn. of the Senate, to ex'
pel him. This will make Colonel Simonton
Lieutenant Governor. AS compliment in
Edge6eld for carrying the election and inau'
gurating the policy Of peace and reooncilia'
ton, and because he deserves it, John e.
Sheppard will be msdespeaker of the House.
The United States Senate will become 50 in.
dignant at the rascalities of "Honest John
Patterson that they will expel him and make
a vacancy there. We will then elect Cover
nor Hampton to the United States Senate
This will make Simonton Governor and Shep
pard Lieutenant.G Governor. Colonel Robert
Aldrich, of Barnwell, will then be made
Speaker on account Of his ability, experience
and "gooa looks" The Glow country" vii
have Colonel Simonton for Governor and tn
"up-oountry" will have John c. Sheppard to-
Lieutenant. Governor, who, on account Of hi
position, will be enabled to marry rich. 3.
this time, the Bond Commission will hav
thrown out all the fraudulent claims agains
the State and we will be almost out Of debt

and wholesome, the North will be disposed t

living on the prairie far away from any river
or stream, obtain their water. Mr.. +. Leech,
formerly of Mercer county, Pennsy lvania,
and frontiersman of experience, asserts that
the dogs dig their own wells, each village
having one with a concealed opening. 1t
matters not how far down the water may be,
the dogs will keep on digging until they
reach it. He knows Of one such we'll two
hundred feet deep, and having circular
staircase leading down to the water. Every
time dog wants drink he descends this
staircase, which, considering the distance, is
no mean task. In digging for water, the AMI
mails display as much pluck as in resisting the
efforts of the settlers to expel them from the
land of their progenitors.

How he Cor HIS CAP1TAL.-The late
Wesley Harper, of Harper & Brothers, began
business on capital secured for him BY the
prudence of his father About the time when
James and John Harper set up for themselves,
younger brother, Wesley, also wished to be-
become printer. The father removed from
Newton to New York, 80 his sons might have
a home with him, and Wesley was set to work
in the Office of his brothers, at first as COM
positor, then as proof.reader. All the time
his father charged him for board, to the boys
surprise, for his father had no special need OF
the money. Soon after arriving of age, the
reason of this apparent harshness appears:
II think you should 60 into business soon,"
said the father; "the money you have been
paying me for your board for six years has
been saved for you. It is your capital to
start with" With this money Wesley Har.
per bought into the firm, becoming an equal
partner.

AN ODD GEN1us.-The Burlington (Vt.)
Press says a queer genius lives at East
Burke-a man who probably has not spoken
to another man directly for the past twenty.
five years. He will talk with q woman or a
minor, but never with man; even his own
sons, as they arrive at twenty.one years of
age, are talked to no longer. When he can
do no better, he will talk to the stove, or
horse, or whatever else happens to be near,
and say: "Old horse, you tell Mr.. Smith l
want to buy his farm" Mr. Smith can speak
for himself, but will only get an answer as he
hears it addressed to the "old horse" This
eccentric individual will allow no man to sit
at his right hand; he will sooner stand up or
leave, and has often stood up through church
services when be could find no seat without q
man at bis right hand. He speaks in meet.
ings, and is quite an earnest, interesting
speaker.
