Deadwood Times, 10th.
We have learned the location of the rict
ing, but are epjoined not to divulge 1t al
only about one hours ride from Deadwood
The new bonanza was struck by two pros.
pectors sent out by DR.. Law last week. The
vein has already been uncovered to the
width Of one hundred feet, exposing re
markedly rich ore. A large specimen o
the sock Is now on exhibition at the county
registers office. 1t is composed of whit,
quartz, slate and gold. 1t is loaded will
gold. Flour gold blossoms all oyer 1t, aut
by the aid of a glass it car be seen beneath
the surface OF the transparent portion O
the specimen. The doctor informs US tha'
the whole face Of the vein Is lousy with lhs
glittering metal. As 500 as the stakes are
set as he wants them, and other little pre-
liminarles are fixed, We will publish the
location Of this last and richest bonanza ia
the Black Hills. If the ore IS one tenth
part a. rich as the specimen on exhibition,
it will mill about 10000 per ton. The
doctor intends to visit the new dis.
covery tomorrow, and upon his return
we shall have something definite to saw
about the big find.
LATER-Since the above was put in type
we have obtained further facts regarding the
big strike from a gentleman who is in the
ring. The information was given without
any injunction of secrecy, hence We can give
our latest information without violating our
arrangement with the first party. 1t is on
the western extension of "the belt" north of
Bald Mountain, distant from Deadwood
about eight miles. 1t will be remembered
that about two years agoa furore was created
in this section by the finding of a sack full
Of %fabulously rich quartz in the vicinity Of

vein recently encountered is similar in char

UGLY POSSIBILITIES,

There are some ugly posi-
bilities involved in the Presi-
dental election which is rap
idly approaching. Unless
some unforeseen and improb-
able changes occur in the in
term, such as might bring a
new champion Of Republican,
ism to the front, Grant will,
so far as we are able to judge,
be the candidate of the mon
opolies Of the country, or Of
the great rings and vast
cliques which, like pillars of
gold, sustain the tottering
fabric of Radicalism. The
whole tone of this clement
whose immense financial
ST. ength must be fully grant
ed, seems to advocate a CEN
tralization Of the governing
power, and the gradual weak
ening Of States rights,-to be
nominally, indeed, left intact,
but actually paralyzed. AS
the great party Of liberty and
of State rights the Democracy
towers morally above it's an
tagonist, with a consciousness
of strength such as it never
possessed before. It feels like
Ant@us when first flung to
the earth by Hercules,
stronger for the misfortune oil
1876; and also stronger with
knowledge of the approaching
peril. The contest, it is to be
feared, will be a very bitter
one. Never was Radicalism sc

UNEARTHED EVIDENCE.

On the let Of May, 1877, the

cry was made tkat the books in tho
Auditors Office had been lost, sto-
len or strayed. Geo. 3. johnson,
Auditor under Packard, had them
carted to the Custom House one
night, about a week before the
downfall Of the Packard govern
ment.
Two of these books were "Con-
solidated Bond" books. containing
the evidence OF genuiueness OF Ger
tain State bonds, and, of course, the
amount Of the State debt.
1t was thought these books had
been burned, and all evidence Of
the State debt, honest and ftaudu.
lent, lost with them. But they
were not.
The long looked for books have
come to light. A few days ago.
the janitor of the Custom House
was noseiug round, clearing away
some rubbish in an unused room,
which he intended converting into
an Office. Books. papers and
speeches of statesmen that had
been cast aside as waste paper, had
been removed, when a trench, or
trough, in the floor was discover
ed. This looked suspicious and
set the workmen to further pros
pecting. After removing shavings
dust, campaign speeches and other
filth, a dry-goods box was struck.
THE box contained those books
the evidence of Republican rascali-
ty and fraudulent bonds. Now,
there will DO little difficulty in
tracing the amount of the State
debt, and separating the genuine
from the fraudulent portion. truth

err terrible things. It is true
that such utterances upon
either side can not be estimat-
ed at their face value; but the
fact that their authors found
courage to utter them in spite
of public sentiment is at least
proof that very intense pol
itical feeling prevails In a
less restless epoch men would
not dare to announce them
selves as champions Of such
doctrines but in the general
uneasiness they are taken lit
tie notice of-just as men
seeking refuge from some cat
aclysm, pay no attention to
wild animals who accompany
them to a place of shelter. It
is not going too far to state
that there are grounds tor
natural uneasiness. Aside
from the peril to which 1T
least a portion of our liberties
are exposed, there is a serious
probability that fraud or vio~
lence may be attempted in
this last desperate struggle of
Republic7 nism TO maintain
the ascendency. Those who
did not scruple at fraud in
1876, will they scrup;e at
worse in 1880? Already we
have the unpleasant prospect
of a contest between conserva.
tive patriotism and Republi>
can ring-money gold is to
be poured like an inundation
to sweep away the barrier
which public honesty might
erect between a Republican
President and the White
House. Premature it would
certainly be to conjecture de-
fpitely what results might en-
sue from another attempt to
carry a Presidential election
by fraud; but whatever con-
lectures may be made, they
are all necessarily more or
less unpleasant. The public
can scarcely feel a sense Of re-
lief until the campaign has
been all mapped out, and the
leaders are chosen; and per-
haps even then the horizon
will grow darker.-N. O. City

THE LAST ARROW.

During the expedition Of the
French against the confederate five
nations in New York, in 1896, the
following incidents occurred. XII
odago. Mohawk chief, had for
his wife beautiful half bred girl,
whose father was said to be no less
parsonage than the governor gen.
eral Of New France, the veteran
Count de Frontenac. A small
force of French musketeers and
pikemen surprised the summer camp
of Kiodago's band at what is nov
called Trenton Falls, just before
daylight, when, not dreaming Of an
attack, they were wrapped in slum-
Der. Hand grenades set their
lodges on fire, and a murderous as
sault was made upon the half-awak-
ened natives. Some persisted in
the lames-some were cut down in
the combat, and others still, among
whom was Kiodago and his wife,
escaped to the hills. A small par
ty ofseven, marking the course pur.
sued by Kiodago, followed. The
valiant chief had lost both his
tomahawk and war club in the
strife, out he still carried his trus-
ty bow, and there remained in the
culver just three arrows. The
warrior determined that life must
tell for the loss of each arrow. Two
arrows were sent whistling from
the bow, carrying destruction with
them-but just as he was drawing
the bow for the last time a shot
from a musket carried away his
thumb. The warrior betook him
self to flight, now bounding over
the rugged crags, now crossing and
recrossing the mountain torrent to
mislead his pursuern, and finally
reioined his wife at the entrance oil
cavern, where she had sunk d WI
in utter exhaustion, pressing bel
babe to her bosom. Soon, howev'
or, voices were heard, and looking
down they discovered party OF
three, led by renegade scout,
pressing forward in the direction
of their rocky fastness. The chic

A SERMON TO e1RLs-oN COOKING.

Cooking>c!asscs have been popu-
lsr among fashionable yohng ladies
of late years. But there is no
cooking-class which quite.equals in
its opportunity for excellent in
formation, that which you may find
at home. Presuming that I am
talking to girl who has just left
school. I advise you to make use of
your leisure in taking lessons Of
your mother. There is an abso"
lutely splendid feeling of independ-
ence in knowing how to make per.
fectly light, sweet, substantial
bread. Then try your hand at
biscuit, mullins, corn bread, toast,
and all the different forms into
which breadstuffs may be blended.
Toast seems simple thing enough,
but is frequently so poorly made
that it does not deserve the name.
Toast, necessity of the sick room .
is often a hopeless mystery to women
who have not the vaguest idea OF
how it is evolved from the raw man
tarial. After you have mastered
the bread question, try meats and
vegetables. Any bright girl who
can comprehend an equation or
formulate syliogism, can over
come the difficulties which beset
her when learning to cook Lucent
syrups. golden CAKE, delicately
Drowned bread, quivering jellies,
melting creams, and the whole set
of material things glorifed, because
made for loves sake. and for the
good of ones dear ones, are fit ex-
pressions for any woman. The
charm of this accomplishment lies
in the fact, that it imparts to its
owner q gratifying sense of power,
it bestows on her, too, the power
of blessing and resting those she
loves best. Wherever the cock
goes she takes her welcome aloug.
One may tire of the sweetest sing
ing, Of the ]oyeliest poetry, of tie
most witty conversation, but of
good cooking, never. But I would
be sorry to have you contented to
be only cook. only a domestic
machine. That is not my meaning
or intention. Be artist, poet, in
ventor, and well-bred woman be
tie most and the best that you can,
and add, as a matter of course,
ability to keep house we'll and to
do all that good housekeeping in
cludes.-M. E.. Sangster.

THE POT OF GOLD.

"a cobbler in Somersetshire
dreamed that a person told him
that if he would go to London
Bridge he would meet with some
thing to his advantage. He dreams
cd the same the next night, and
again the night after. He then de-
termined to go to London Bridge,
and walked thither accordingly.
When arrived there, he walked
about the whole Of the irst day
without anything occurring; the
next day was passed in a similar
manner. He resumed his place the
third day, and walked abont till
evening, when, giving it up as
hopcless-had determined to leave
London and return home. At this
moment stranger came up and
said to him: Il have seen you for
the last three days walking up and
down this bridge; may ask if you
arc waiting for any one?' The an
swer was, Nor Then what is your
object in staying here?' The cob
bier then frankly told bis reason
for being there and the dream that
had visited him three successive
nights. The stranger then advised
him to go home again to his work,
and no more pay any attention to
dreams. I myself he said, *had,
about six months ago a dream. l

have remained quietly at my bust
ness. 1t Immediately occurred to
the cobbler that the stranger des-
cribed his own orchard and apple
tree. He Immediately returned
home and dug under the apple.tree
and found a pot of gold. After
this increase of fortune he was en-
able to send his son to school, where
the boy learned Latin. When he
came home for the holidays, he one
day examined the pot which had
contained the gold, on which was
some writing. He said Father. /

A Fatherly Man.

Griswold street, from Fort to Oon-
gress, offers such superior facilities for
falling down in the winter, that all the
newsboys and bootblacks who look upon
the bright and cheerful side of life loaf
around that section a great deal in order
to be on hand when the climax occurs.
Seven of them stood in row yesterday
morning as fatherly, unwie]dy citizen
turned the corner of the Moffatt block.
"Select your spot /" they yelled as
he reached the descent, and in about q
minute he reached the conclusion that
they had gather.d d there to see him fall.
Some men would have jumped aside into
the street, but this fatherly man oontin-
ued on. He resolved to himself: !:
"Now these boys are poor, forlorn
boys. They seldom have any fun. They
are hungry, ragged, and do not look
forward to Christmas. They wish me
TO fall. If, by falling, can add to
their happiness, it is my duty to do so. I"
Those boys may never know that the
good man fell on purpose 10 please
them. He suddenly made slip to the
left, stretching ont his leg until it look
ed to be ten feet long-then slip to the
right, and as he recovered he stuck his
heels toward the south pole, clawed out
like million angle worms fastened to-
gether, and the snow where he struck
flew sixteen feet. He didn't get up and
tell the boys that it was put-up job to
tighten their burdens of care and sorrow
for moment, but he knows, and the
reader knows, that it was.-Free Press.

sufficient to fill more than one OF the
panniers, he balanced the burden by
filling the other with stones. AS he

wayfarer who fell into conversation with
him, and in course of it remarked,
What fool you must be- very pro-

'don't you see TINT, if you were to dis

rejoined the other. Il thank you for
your wise COUNSEL and forthwith the
silk merchant threw his stones out on
the read, and distributed the cargo in
equal proportions between the two
panniers. As, however, they continued
their journey, the merchant remarked,
you are very clever and discerning

Keep Dwellings Dry.

A warm and dryatmosphere is not ur-
wholesome, but when cloudy or rainy
weather brings sultry air which damp
ems everything arot1nd us, the atmos.
phere may be loaded with the germs #
disease, and fire is needed to destroy
them. The walls, the ceilings and the
floors of apartments should never be al
lowed to become damp. Sometimes,
when the warmth of the air is oppressive,
fire is more necessary to preserve health
than il is at another season to protect us
from the cold of winter; and the rooms
of DIV sling should never be left with
out the means of warming and drying.
Investigations have shown that many
of the most fatal diseases are caused by
the germs of vegetable and animal life,
and that humid atmosphere is most
favorable for their propagation. 1t is,
therefore, neglecting to avail ourselves
of the great discoveries of the age, and
failing to protect ourselves from scourges
which 80 fearfully aflict families, when
we ignore the dangers which surround
us. Apartments exposed to the full ac-
ton of the sun may be less comfortable
in hot weather than those from which
the suns rays are excluded, but they
are more wholesome, and when conta-
gious diseases prevail in closely built
cities it is found that the inmates Of
houses on that side of the street expos
ed to the sun are less liable to be attack

are always found where there is the

The Bill that Followed the Dinner.

An American gentleman paid round
sum for dinner he gave to six friends
at fashionable Paris restaurant few
weeks ago, according to the corre-
spondent of q London paper. After
coffee and cigars he asked for the bill,
and the waiter, bowihg with great def
erence, presented it to the host, who
ran his eye over the several items.
Asking pardon of his guests he showed
them tie bill, and desired to know if
they thought 280 francs ($56) reasona-
BILE s1m to charge for the dinner they
had had. The opinion was unanimous
that the amount asked for so ordinary a
dinner was more than eIorbitant. The
proprietor was called in. He entered
with pompous bearing, and, after hear
ing the case, regretted that it was not
the custom of his house to reduce any OF
the charges made. Two hundred francs
(S40) were offered him and refused with
great dignity and when he found that
the American gentleman was inclined to
argue out each item with him, he waived
his hand deprecatingly, told his custom
ers that he was unable to give them any
more time, and asked them, since they
appeared unwilling to pay the amount
OF his bill, to do him the favor of consid-
ering themselves his guests. He let
the room; the 200 francs we're sent down
to him, but were refused, and the party
Quilted the place, furious at the imper-
tinent manner in which the dinner hf d
