CHRISTMAS IN the BLACK HILLS.
An Interesting "Reminiscences in Which is
Blended Pathos and Hunor.

Two years ago to-day achieved my
first and only pie. Its components
were dried apples, brown sugar and the
paste. Envious persons invited tc
partake of it thought fit to disparage
my efforts, after the banquet. A few
claimed that the apples should have
been cooked. before being incorporated
into the pie; others insisted that the
tenacity of my crust was unusual. Be.
ing somewhat sensitive, / was hurt,
and have never constructed pie since.
What change these two years have
wrought Then there was but one
woman in the Black Hills. She Mrs.
Hepburn) and her two children lived at
| the Custer stOckade. There was not a
pane of glass OF foot of sawed lumber.
| A pillbox would have held all the gold
taken out of the gulches. While you
favored ones were eating your turkey,
etc, we dined on bacon and venison-
and hope. To-day we dined on turkey
and oysters and celery and sweetneats,
and washed it down with Cliquot. One
Cf our game had the misfortune to
be shot by mistake by his employer, q
few weeks ago, and our table was laid
by his bedside. Our feast was prepared
and served by men; and none but
bachelor legs sustained the mahogany.
A most pleasant hour was consumed at
the table. and Notwithstanding the
fact that no fair woman lent her gra-
cious presence, everything passed off
smoothly.
At the Congregational church a
famous Christmas tree, laden with toys
and presents for the little folks abode.
Hardy miners, on the way to their
lonely cabins, paused TO listen to the
childish laughter, and having paused,
were allured in by the bright lights and
happy faces within. Many who had
looked upon the rosy cocktail almost
too often, were sObered by reminiscent

such sight for twenty years. Fathers
of grown sons and daughters, to whom
they were total strangers. My partner
in claim, man Of fifty, has not seen
his wife or children for fifteen years.
A prominent merchant in town has a
daughter nine years old, yet he has
never seen heI but three times.
The proper observation Of Christmas
time is duty we all owe. but in place
like Deadwood, it is doubly so, for it
was good, not only to the ninety or one
hundred children that participated
but the score of men who skunk in, half
guilty, wholly abashed, and departed
with a consciousness of their own short
comingness that did them good.
On the whole our Christmas was Il
success. Our people are prosperous,
Gaunt hunger is unknown, for no
needy person applies in vain to the open
hearted miner. Our quartz is good,
and we have much to be thankful for.

ing Of about two hours duration on
Thursday. While Mrs. Lawrence, of

interrupted by Mrs. Crocker, who de-

journment committee of delegates,
consisting Of Mrs. Isabella B. Hooker,
Elizabeth Boynton Harbert and Sara
A. Spencer. had an interview with
Vice President Wheeler and Speaker
Randall, their object being to obtain
the consent of the two houses, permit

THE California delegation in the
House Of Representatives, after con-
sultation on the subject, have conclud-
ed to have all bills concerning the
Chinese question referred to the COM
mittee on Education and Labor. This
committee has already charge Of the
Shelley bill, and is so constituted as to
be likely to give the question full and
fair consideration; besides, it has very
little business and can therefore devote
more time and attention to this subject
than most other committees could
readily give. Efforts for speedy action
will accordingly henceforth be concen-
trated upon this committee and upon
the Senate committee on Foreign Rela.
tions.

Denyer's Latest Sensation.

The evident attempt of Georg" i.
Taylor, st. Louis printer, to shoot
his wife created intense excitement
about the streets Wednesday. Mrs.
Taylor, with her sister, Miss Pierce,
were about entering the dry goods store
of Drew " Mcnamara, on the corner
of Fifteenth and Larimer streets, when
Mr.. Taylor, who had followed the two
women from Larimer street, came up
and joined them and engaged Mrs.
Taylor in conversation. But a few
words passed between them, the woman
evidently trying to get away from the
man. As she stepped away from him,
he grasped her about the neck with his
left arm and, drawing small revolver,
held it close to her head, and pulled the
trigger. He twice tried 10 discharge
the weapon, failing in each instance.
Miss Pierce had taken hold of him, and
was vainly endeavoring to wrench the
pistol from his hand, when the strug-
Cling Ii. and wife fell to The pave
ment ..t this juncture Il number of
men, attracted by the unusual occur
renee, came running to the scene,
among others Mr.. elise, whs at once
took hold of the desperate man, forced
him from his wife and took his pistol
from him. Officers Duggan and Hop
kins came up ut this time and the man
was at once taken into custody and
conducted to jail
| Mrs Taylor was uninjured, though
hysterical from fear. and was assisted
| to her residence. II is understood that
Mr.. Taylor stated to the officers, in
answer to Il question as to his motive,
that he intended TO kill his wife and
then himself; that he should kill him
self anyway. Denver Tribune.
When the people OF Denver become
acquainted with some of the main
causes that have led to this unfori unate
