A TWO-YEAR-OLD MARVEL.
Ten millions of Dollars in Gold Derived
from the Black Hills
TDeadwood Cor. Chicago Tribune.1


TDeadwood Cor. Chicago Tribune.1
A country sometimes springs to full
stature at q single bound. and thus it
may be said of the Black Hills country,
the two ear-old marvel of the West.
In this brief time it has changed from
a tracklese, unexplored region, into one
of the richest gold-producing countries
in the world. Hidden away a hundred
feet beneath the mountain side, and i'm
prisoned in the heart of the rugged,
pine-capped mountain, with hundreds of
feet of rocky wall between it and day.
light, in fancied security the precious
metals have lived on and on and, as
century after century passed away, one
may imagine the yellow nuggets con-
graduating each other that peace and
plenty were still with them that the
avarice of humankind had not yet
clutched them from the motherhood and
sent them out into the world upon their
varied mission-here bringing peace and
happiness, there war and bloodshed;
here being the medium of expression of
the noblest instincts of our nature, there
of those which bring the blush to the
cheek and tear to the eye-upon their
mission of SO mixed good and evil, JOY
and misery, that one sometimes cues
tons whether its possession is
blessing or curse. In the
teeth Of the prohibitions of civil
law and military order, with the
hostile rife of the savage browning every
divide in front, and from rock and ravine
upon either flank speaking their 60 [ for
bid in the fall of 1875 few rough pi-
oneers-I feel that should call them in
spired benefactors- pressed i'll here, and
the result has been that $4,000 900 of
gold has been added to the wealth Of the
country. And still the work of produc-
ton goes on, doubling in regularity and
speed. The first trails were hewn by
brave, determined men, bent on the &C
quirement OF home and fortune.
Following them came a heterogeneous
army, composed partly of the industrious
and useful, and partly of shiftless, useless
Adventures. Punched by dull times in
the States, and thinking to take advan-
tage of the profusion of wealth in circu-
lation in the hills, they came, vast
throng But gradually society rights it.
SELF Tramps have learned that the
mountains and ravines are generous on
~ to the Industrious and deserving.
Doubtless many such who came have re
NAMED; few have been hung; the red
skins have mangled some; while good
~ number have been sent to the Peniten-
tiary-until now it may be said that the
population Of the hills in point Of intel
igence, obedience to law and general Gull
ture, will compare favorably with any
other section Of the West. Deadwood
is undoubtedly the metropolis Of the
hills, and the gulch proper contains
population of about 1000 people, and is
the center of trade for the entire hills,
saving the Rapid City and Haywood Sec
ton of country lying forty-fve miles
southeast.

Pope Leo XIII.

The accession of Cardinal Pecci tc
the "Chair Of Peter" is hailed with
manifest satisfaction by his subjects.
This satisfaction is based exclusively. OF
course, upon his reputation as a prelate
and his personal qualities as a man.
While opinions appear to differ concern
ing his probable course in relation to
the vexed question of the temporal
power, criticism, Protestant and Catho-
lie, is unanimous in praise of his ability,
his courtliness of address, and dignity OF
character. IF his assumption of the
name of Leo XIII. may be accepted as
the key to the principles by which his
administration is to be motived, the aus
pices under which his reign begins may
eliminate in record of splendid service
to art, civilization, and humanity, for
which the office of pope affords perhaps
greater opportunities than that of any
other crowned ruler.
Indeed, In appearance, in characteris-
tics and in tastes Leo XIII. at once sug-
gests Leo XII. This one is So; Lee
XII. was 81 when installed. The lat
ter, though greatly worn by sickness,
possessed the suavitY of address which
has been SO much observed in Cardinal
Pecci. Like him, Leo XII. was of I'M
usual stature, of fine, frank countenance.
II the administration of the Pope-elect
repeats the spirit of Leo XII. s, his
memory will be ardently cherished. The
twelfth Leo reformed the affairs of his
Government with enlightened energy.
Material improvements - draining.
bridges, roads, tunnels, etc.-received
his personal attention. He compelled
the exercise of rigid economy in the use
OF public money while applying the
proceeds Of taxation, which he reduced
to the material and educational interests
of the people. He recognized the uni
versities, created new congregation to
look after the schools of the country. en-.
larged the art collections by extensive
purchases. restored more than one
basilica, and found time to examine the
"Index." One Of the results of his in.
spection was an order to remove from
the list of condemned volumes the
works of Calico. His interest il edu.
cation, in organized benevolence, and in
the active propagation of religion in its
klndest and most useful forms, are
themes upon which historians of the
Papacy delight to enlarge. Chicago

Sol Smiths Curse

Sol Smiths brother Lemuel, young
actor, was killed in Augusta, Ga. His
murderer, Flournoy, was acquitted by
the jury on the plea that the killing
might be classed as the result Of duel.
After hearing the verdict, Sol Smith
said to the homicide:
Before God and man charge you with muir
dering my brother ! The sleep of the innocent
will never more be yours. You are murderer,
and will ever more carry the mark of hOmi-
eide upon your brow. From this time forth In
this world you will never sleep again.
Two years later Sol was accosted by
an abiect-looking wretch, who stood be-
fore him in an attitude of supplication.
It was VIM. Flournoy.
"Why do you follow me ?" said Sol.
Because [ want you to shoot NE

emo, it is not for me to punish you, -
was the reply.
" 1t is not punishment ask you to infict-
that have received already, in full measure
it is vengeance I ask you to take, for your
brothers murder upon his murderer. I en-
deavored to persuade myself I committed the
deed in self-defence, but know better now. I
am murderer. You said would never sleep
more, and never have. have closed my eyes
at night as usual, have stepped my senses in
brandy until Inconsistencies came, but that
blessed sleep you drove away has never returned
to me for one moment. My life is burden to
me. Take it. Let me die by your hand, and
then may feel your brother may forgive me.
I will die tonight !" he said impressively, as
Sol turned away and left him.
The next morning Flournoy's body was found
at his country place. 1t was riddled by bullets

The New York Postmaster Sued for
Using a Patent.

In the postoffce in this city, as in
most others throughout the country, the
canceling of the stamps on letters and
the printing OF the postmarks is done
simultaneously. The cork to cancel the
stamp and the die 10 make the post
marks are fixed side by side on wood
en- handle, so that both can be- used to-
gether. For the use of this simple in
strument in this single office $3.50, 900 is
demanded, and Postmaster James has
been sued for that sum. United States
District Attorney Woodford says that at
least 81, 600, 900 is involved in the case,
because the double stamp is generally
used IN the postal service, and an action
may be instituted against every post
master. -NeW York San.

eloquently alluded to the sunburst as a
happy omen. The President sat directly
in front of the speaker, and, from the
reporters gallery, behind her, I had
caught his eye, soon after he sat down.
When Miss Dickinson referred to the

tarily, and ] thought his eyes were suf-
fused with moisture. Perhaps they

A Model Workshop.

An admirable economy seems to pre-
vail at Krupp's town of Essen. Every
workman is in sense a partner, because
outside of his wages sum accrues, and
is put aside for him, according to the
profits Of the shop in which he works.
At the end of sixteen years it would usu-
ally yield as much per week as his wages.
Single men can live well on 81 cents a
day. The Bread Company of Easen
supplies bread pure to the hands at cost
price. A great secret of the cheapness
is that there are no middlemen and no
illicit or dishonest gains made on any
thing.

at his astonished little sister.
And away they went, down stairs, out
OF the house, and at full speed towards
the neighbours where mamma was at
work. It was lucky it was not far, for the

nearly crazy. Bare-headed, covered
with dust, and dripping with sweat,

Mrs. Andrews, but Johnny held up
the paper. She recognized the

twice through it and then sank down her
head upon the table and cried in thank

had done an hour ago over the recovery
Of her doli-things.

There was land enough with the home
cottage for nice garden, and to raise
the supply of potatoes and vegetables
for winter; and, when Johnny grew big
enough to work 1t, the Andrews were
prosperous indeed. Johnny grew up
bright, good boy, and little Minnie was
a great comfort to her mother in every
way. And the happy mother always re-

The Cars Lease OF Life.

It is rumored from st. Petersburg
that the Gar is seriously indisposed-
weak and so thin that he sits on pillows
and soft cushions to prevent the bones
from coming through the skin. He is
said to be depressed also with a pre-
sentiment of bis approaching death. No
Romanoff has lived beyond so years, and
he will be so in April. When his sister
died, some two years ago, she reminded
him of this and told hin he must be
prepared to go before he was so. They
say that her words made a great i'm
preston upon him then, and now that
he is not well, they constantly recur to
him. Chicago Tribune.

New Treatment of Diphtheria,

DR.. E. N. Chapman, of Brooklyn, N.
Y, in the Scientific american, claims
great success in the treatment of diph-
liberia with quinine and whisky. He
claims that itneutraGzes the diphtheritic
poison and destroys the membrane. He
cites numerous cases to prove his posi-
ton. He claims that any local APP
plications are worse than useless. He
gives it in large doses and begins early
in the formative stage of the disease. IF,
as he suggests, it is as much a specific
as quinine for intermittent, it is a valu-
able discovery

Died week before last in Timbuctoo:
4 remarkable accident happened to him,
He was hung head down from banyan-limD.
The royal lion made proclamation
For day Of fasting and lamentatioD,
Which led to curious demonstration:
The elephant acted as if he were drunk
He stood on his head, he trod on his trunk;
An over-sensitiye she-g0rilla
Declared that shock would surely kill her;
A frisky, gay and frolicsome ape
Tied up his tail with yard of Grape;
The donkey wiped his eyes with his ears;
The crocodile saed bucket Of tears;
The rhinoceros gOred young giraffe,
Who had the very bad taste to laugh;
The hippopotamus pulled and blew,
TO show his respect for the Kangaroo
And a sad but indignant chimpanzee
Gnawed all the bark from the banyan-tree.
