Sharp's rifle could bring them down
quite as often as the hunters who
made regular business of hunting
them for their hides. This is All
immense business in the West. a
merchant of Fort Worth stated to
me that 10000 buffalo hides had
been shipped from there during the
past season. The consequence Of
all this is, that the meat house of
the Indian is growing "smaller by
degrees and beautifully less.' In
a year or two more the buffalo out
West will be as scarce as deer in
Claiborne. When the buffalo are
all killed the Indians must stay Oh
their reservations for there will be
nothing for them to subsist upon

small parties, and they do very lit

ten Indians. The Indian is COW.

The Rings.

The discovery ofthe colossal frauds
perpetrated by the Indian agencies
IN Dacotah will not probably result
til the punishment of any Of the per.
petrators. The ring is evidently of
such enormous proportions that, what.
ever efforts may be made, its broken
fragments will prove too strong for
the hammer of legal justice to effect
any further crushing. The arru that
yields that hammer is paralyz ed by
corruption; and the government
seems in the plight Of Thor, whose
angry strokes upon the forehead of
the wizard giant only provoked the
exclamation: "NVas that an acorn
which tell OIL my head." The agen.
cy ring belongs to that class of tire.
mcndous monopolics which are &C.
tually threatening TO undermine our
social system. There is not, and
never has been, anything in civiliza.
ton to equal i'll formidable power
and INSCRIPTIONS daring the ring
organizations of the United States.
There are the railroad rings which
are threatening TO run our politics
i'll their own way, and which have
a financial strength largar than that
of the government; the huge mining
rings of the West; the wheat rings
of Chicago: the National Bank ring;
the Western Union Telegraph ring,
which no power can break, and no
competition can strive against;-all

The Sherman scheme of placing
the Indian agencies under the regu-
lation OF the War Department, and
employing retired officers on half.

haps bc adopted in view OF recent
developments. 1t would certainly
be better for the country at large if

The Chicago Times states that
the great uprising for Grant as pres
ident in 1880, extends over the states
of Illinois and Iowa. The Globe.
Democrat, whose editor in chief was
pardODed out of the penitentiary,
convicted of robbing the revenue by
whisky frauds, is the great central
organ for the west. 1t seems that
the zeal for Grant in any locality is
measured by the amount of grain
the distillers can convert into whis-
ky. The whole movement appears
to originate with ambitious, unscru-
pulous men who are opposed to
honesty and economy in the admin,
istratiOn of the government. They
long for the fiesh-pOts of Egypt;
in other words they want to steal
something.

A HOT SPRINGS DUEL.
BY jerks.

Two strangers met in Hot Springs town
one summer afternoons;
When from the sun as pouring down
The terccst heat OF June.
One was bearded Texan knight
A brace Of Colts he had;
Aud he was sroiiiug for a fight,
And was "rantank' rous mad"
The other was from Rackcnsack,
Tall, muscular and grim;
"toothpick' was upon his BACK,
With bloody rnst-spots dim.
Like stays that meet in lcafy glade,
Each AT the other glared;
Two warriors of the highest grade,
For havoc well prepared.
II never seed your face before"
Remarked the Texan wight,
nut II you look al me once more
by hell you'll have 10 fight"
Is'pose you're heclcd," said Rackensack
"fou bet" the Texan said,
And stepping fifteen inches back,
Let fly chunk of lead.
Then, like a hungry panther. stopped
The man of furnished steel
One flash the Texans bowels scooped;
"Old hoss, how do you fecl!'
I'm hunkey," said the Texan chan.
With loftiest disdain,
And sent another bullet slap
Into the slashcrs brain.
They tonight and fought, neither budccd
Before for breath they stopped;
In one pound of lead was lodged,
Tother to mincc-lneat chopped.
"Times up 20 in'" the crowd cried ont;
Come, finish mp the fun"
But neither could renew the bout;
Their sands of life seemed run.
They placed them in the "Rai Hole then
And soaked them for an hour;
And both of these courageous men
Recovered AL their power.
And then they fought a second round,
Resulting just the same;
The people clapped their hands for Joy,
And sworc the mcn were game.
Twas dark when round the 81 was fought
Their blood dyed all the ground;
Each for some small advantage sought,
While circliug round and round.
Two ugly slugs the Texan sent
Into the others brain,
Just ~ the Rackcnsackcr bent
And split his skull in twain.
Again they laid them in the pool,
And left them there all night;
They found them in the morning cool,
Still keeping mp the fight.
Then spoke Mississippi lad,
such grit never saw;
To lose such men would be too bad,
Let's call the fight draw
The crowd agreed, the mon shook hands
Aud each went on his way;
And now iii Congress each ono stands,
To fight for his back pay.

A Great Era OF Prosperity Ahead.
UNITED States Economist

To all who are engaged in CON-
mercial enterprises we would speak
an encouraging word, for all omens

any other land has ever known.
Our mines CLEAN with golden ores;
our fertile fields stand thick with
grain, our people are daily becom-
ing more thrifty, active and intel
ligeut, and to all who are willing to
toll aud labor there will come the
certainty Of generous reward. Let
our rulers be men of wisdom and
integrity, and the land will be
peaccable, prosperous and happy.

| We came By way of Fort Griffin,

above the country surrounding.
The soil is rich and the mesquite
grass abundant. There are no
trees nor shrubs except on the
canons. We found water in holes
and ponds, and hauled wood OH our
wagons. The fearful stories had
heard of the plains ] found to be
simply stories. The roads were
good and hard. In few years all
this country will be raising wheat
and corn. From the base of the
plains on the west side VIC came to
TuscOsa on the Canadian river.
The population in that country are
principally Mexicans who raise
sheep and cattle. There are some
few whites. They all live in adobe
houses, i. c. houses built of sun dried
brick. The brick are about inch.
cs square by 3 inches thick, and
are like the brick made by the Is.
raclites in Egypt-they have straw
in them to hold them together.
The houses are fiat OH top and are
covered with poles, straw and dirt.
Of course they all leak in rainy
weather, but they don't have much
rain in any of this tointry. All the
farming is done by irrigation.
From Tuscosa to this place the
distance is about two hundred
miles. We found some difficulty
in finding grass for our stock. The
sheep had eaten what little grass
there was of too close for an OK to
bite, and they had had no rain since
last Christmas. But here on the
