PRoeys of former exploration are
found in various parts of the Black
Hills region. and it is probable that
gold was discovered there about thirty
years ago by several separate parties of
sdventhrers, all of whom'were killed by
Indians. The bones of men and beasts,
mingled with rusty mining tools, were
in one place discovered within rude
fertilization of rocks. In another spot
q rotted sluice box. made of a hewn
tree. showed that mining operations
had been carried on.

GENERAL HowARD's PLAN
Seems to be to conce nitrate all his forces
from the north, east and south in
Southeastern Oregon, and force the In
dams to.surrender. He is massing the
troops in three columns and each
column is marching from different
directions toward where the Indians
are supposed to be camped. 1t is pos
sible that the Indians may suspect that
they are being surrounded and en-
deavor to escape in northerly direc-

The two companies of the Fourth Ar

A Strange Burial.

The obituary of the Gentleman's Maga-
zine for 1873 contains an account of the
funeral of Mr.. John Underwood, of
Whittlesea, in Cambridgeshire. When
the burial service was over, an arch was
turned over the coffin, in which was
placed a small piece Of white marble
with this inscription: "Non omnis
mortar. 1888" The six gentlemen who
followed him to the grave sang the last
stanza Of the second book of Horace.
No bell was tolled; none but the six
gentlemen invited to the funeral (and no
relation) followed the corpse. The coffin
was painted green, and the deceased lay
in it with all his clothes on. Under
his head was placed Sanadon's Horace;
at his feet, Bentley's Milton; in his right
hand was placed a small Greek Testa-
ment; in his left hand a miniature edi-
ton of Horace, lettered "Mysisamins.
J. U.," and Bentley's Horace under his
back. After the ceremony was over they
went back to his house, where his sister
had provided cold supper. After the
cloth was taken away the gentlemen
sang the thirty-frst ode of the first book
OF Horace, drank a cheerful glass, and
went home about in the evening.
MIR. Underwood left nearly 10000 to his
sister, on condition Of her observing this
will, ordering her to give each Of the
gentlemen 10 guineas. He also specially
desired they would not come in black
clothes. The will ended thus: (Which
done I would have chem drink a cheerful
glass and think no more of John Under
wood" PAU the Year Round.

The Monkey and the Dentist.

One of the large monkeys at the
Alexandra palace had been for some
time suffering from the decay Of the
right lower canine, and an abcess, form
ing large 'protuberance on the jaw,
had resulted. The pain seemed so great
it was decided to consult dentist as to
what should be done, and as the poor
creature was at times very savage, it
was thought that if the tooth had to be
extracted the gas should be used for the
safety of the operator. Preparations
were made accordingly, but the behavior
of the monkey was quite a surprise to
all who were concerned. He showed
great fight on being taken out of his
cage, and not one struggle against being
put into sack prepared, with a hole
cut for his head, but forced one of his
hands out and snapped and screamed
and gave promise to be very troublesome.
Directly, however, Mr.. Levin Mosely,
who had undertaken the operation,
managed to get his hand on the abcess
and gave relief, the monkeys demeanor
changed entirely. He laid his head
down quietly for examination, and withf
out the use of the gas submitted to the
removal of stump and a tooth as quietly
as possible.-London Nature.

The Microscope as a Detective.

Some years since it was discovered by
the authorities of a railway in Germany
that barrel which, on being dispatched
from certain station, contained silver
coin, had, during the journey to its des-
tination, been emptied of its contents
and filled with sand. For some time no
clue to the perpetrator of the robbery
could be discovered; but at length
learned professor having been consulted
On Tic subject, called in the aid of the
microscopes. And this was how the thief
was found out. The professor knowing
that even though in the very minutest
degree, there was distinctive difference
in the sand found near the various sta
tions along the railway line, and for
samples of it from each of the places
through which the train containing the
silver coin had passed. With the micro
scope he then carefully examined the
sample, compared it with the sand found
in the barrel, and thus identified the
station from which the latter had been
procured. Having, in this ingenious
manner fount out the station he wanted.
little difficulty remained-for the rail-
way servants employed at it, by one of
whom the robbery had been committed,
were so few in number that the culprit
was readily detected.

Journalists and the Plague.

In New Orleans, Vicksburg, Memphis
and smaller towns, they have refused to
go away, as they might, and as so many
others have done. They determined to
face the dangers very formidable one,
since very few of them had had the
fever, and large number were new to
the southland so challenge death in
order to render the service which they
knew would be sadly needed. Scores OF
them have been down with the pesti-
lence; many of them have died, but none
have faltered or retreated. On some
newspapers only one or two journalists
have been left, but the survivor or sur
vivors have kept religiously at their
work. Nor have they by any means re-
stricted themselves to their business;
they have distributed supplies many
belong to the Observation-Disclosures to the
sick and dying, and worked necessarily
to- relieve suffering, to help humanity in
every way possible. They have seen
death steadily approaching; they have
looked him calmly in the face; they
have felt they must be victims. But
they have not blanched, nor abated ef-
fort while they could lift voice or hand;
and, as their fatal turn came, they have
shown remarkable fortitude, fighting
disease to the last, and, when forced to
submit, yielding as dauntless men over
come, not as men conquered. The south
ern journalists deserve well of the ma.
ton. They have been fearfully tried,
and their trial has brought cut all their
virtues. They have proved themselves
to be men not less than journalists, and
! very manly men. They may have de-
fects neither few nor small; but surely
lack Of courage and want of humanity
are not among them.-N. Y. Times.

"How long is q whale?"
"Some whales are eighty feet long,

a Dramatic Tragedy.

An exchange suggests that modern
playwrights, on the watch for new SEN
sation, could hardly ask one more dra-
matte or more dire than the catastrophe
that happened at sea not long ago:
Two dozen boats full of Greek sponge
fishers were getting water in Mandrouka,
when party of Arabs tried to make
them pay tribute of money and food for
the privilege. They were driven of
after a bloody fray, with their ammuni-
ton gone; but just then a contraband
seller Of powder came on the scene with
his vessel. The fishermen hurried to
him, and got his promise not to sell
powder to the Arabs till after their own
departure next morning. He gave the
pledge, but then, rejecting what good
thing he had lost, broke his word and
landed few barrels ct midnight. The
fishermen rushed aboard his vessel, volu-
BILE with reproaches, and, it is said, struck
him. The enraged trader drew his re-
volver and fired into his powder barrels,
when terrible explosion tore to shreds
the vessel and all on board. OF the
seventy Greek fishermen that 50 persisted,
fifty-fve were from the Isle of Halkins,
the others were mostly Rhodians and
sailors from Calymnos One might
fancy that an accidental or ill-aimed shot
fired the vessel; but the more palpitating
theory is the one contained in the Athens
(Greece) Messenger already given.

The Fever in Philadelphia in 1898.

Samuel Breck, in his delightful
" Recollections," has made some record,
in an incidental way, of the ravages Of
the plague in Philadelphia during the
summer and autumn of 1898. Its rapid
march being from ten victims day in
August to one hundred day in Octo-
Der, found the city with no hospitals or
hospital stores in readiness to alleviate
the suferings of the poor. "For long
time nothing could be done other than
to furnish collins for the dead and men
to bury them" Finally large house
was fitted up, and among the
" eminent philanthropists" who volun-
teered to superintend it was Stephen
Girard, "who has since become the
richest man in America" The burning
fever caused "paroxysms Of rage which
drove the patient naked from his bed
to the street, and in some instances, to
the river, where he was drowned. In
sanity was often the last stage of its hor-
rors." The committee of health was in
session day and night at the city hall in
Chestnut street. "The attendants on
the dead stood on the pavement in con-
siderable numbers soliciting jobs, and
until employed they were occupied in
feeding their horses out of the collins
which they had provided in anticipation
of the daily want" The whole number
of deaths in that year Mr.. Breck places
at more than 4,00O."

Rosewood.

1t has puzzled many to decide why
the dark wood so hi hly valued for
pianos, and in these times so cleverly
initiated, should be called rosewood. Its
color, certainly, does not look like that
of rose, but when the tree is first cut
the fresh wood possesses a strong, rose.
like fragrance; hence the name. There
are half-a-dozen or more kind of rose
wood trees found in South America and
in the East Indies and neighboring is
lands. Sometimes the trees grow 50
large that planks four feet broad and ten
feet in length can be cut from them.
These broad planks are principally used
to make tops for pianofortes. When
growing the rosewood tree is remarkable
for it's beauty; but such is its value in
manufactures az an ornamental wood,
that some of the forests where it once
grew abundantly, now have scarcely
single specimen. In Madras the govern
ment has prudently had great planta-
tions of this tree set out in order to keep
up the supply.

The Volcano We Annexed.

The inhabitants of villages on the west
and south side Of Ounalaska island COM
plain of the sudden disappearance of
fish from their shores and streams. The
cause of this disastrous phenomenon is a
volcanic eruption on the adjoining island
of Oumnak, accompanied by a heavy
fall of hot ashes, and earthquakes. The
volcano on Oumnak has been considered
extinct for many years past, but two
weeks ago new crater opened, at least
ten miles away, on q sloping plain of but
slight elevation above the sea level.
Owing to the latter circumstance, the
lava flows but slowly and hardens before
it reaches the shore, but the fall of ashes
extends over large area of land and
water. Persons passing the east side of
the island in canoes suffer from sulphur.
ons gases whenever the wind blows from
the shore, and the laundering noise of
the eruption can be heard at the village
of Ounalaska during the still hours Of
the night. Should the eruption continue
any length of time, it will be impossible
for the natives to collect their necessary
supplies of fish for the winter, and
suffering must ensue. 49, San Francisco
Bulletin.
