The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune says: Senator Blaine
is managing his own campaign. On Sat-
urday, the 9th, he gave a reception to the
Republican Congressman and correspond
ents; last night he had the Democratic
Congressmen and correspondents, and on
the 10Th the Republicans are again in
vited, and on the 9th the Democrats, so
that honors will be easy. His headquar-
tiers are in the billiard room in the upper
story Of his own house, and on the table
are large piles of letters from every State,
assuring him of aid and proffering sup
port. Four clerks brief the contents Of
these letters, and write out the replies
dictated in short hand. Another clerk
furnishes paragraphs for publication in
friendly presses, giving the cream of
friendly correspondence. All this is done
under Mr.. Blaine's personal direction,
and should he be nominated he will con-
duct the himself, making three
or four speeches in as man. large cities.

In the Lower House Of the Maine Legis-
lature the Republican ma~jority-as declared
by the Supreme Court Of that State
provided for the publication Of the decision
which gave their party the State Govern
ment. A Greenbacker member moved an
amendment to publish with it the decision
Of the same Court made two years ago-to
which The recent decision is in violent
a~ntagonsm. On this, little Eugene Hale,
who nov enjoys the two or three millions
his fatha-in-law, lack Chandler, left him,
jumped to his feet, and protested that it
was IAN attempt on the part Of the OPPOSE
ton TO oelittle the Court" 1t would be
a moral .mpossibility to belittle that Court
after ths very effective nj in which
the judges have themselves completed the
job; buthow, viii Mr.. Hale be good enough
TO explain, could the publication of the
Courts ewn decision belittle that tribunal ?
A Court that is ashamed Of its own decis-
ions is not a Court to command the
confidence or respect Of the people. Mr..
Hale vofully Numbered.

SACRAMENTO, April lo.-Kane was taken
to Jail by the Sergeantat-Arms, last night
at 1 O'Clock, and placed in a cell. Greed
Raymond was engaged as counsel to get
him out of prison. The prisoner to-day is
in the Sherifrs cell. He refuses positively
to give the name of the man who tried to
bride him. An application for a release may
be made, on the ground that he was tried
and convicted during his absence
Later.-Senator Kane is nue. broken.
He has not slept for 0 d or five nights.
His ATTORNEY advises him to make no eff
fort for a release, but to remain in jail un-
til the end Of the session.
The Senate met at 10 O'Clock, the Lieut..
Governor presiding.
SAN FRANcIsco, April 10.-Weston's walk
against time has attracted scarcely m at
~tention, and is a fat failure. As regards
the score, at / o'clock this afternoon it
was only 1874 miles. The walk will close at
IL this evening.
Senator Kane, now in Jail in Sacramento,
will probably make no effort for his release,
preferring to wait until the adjournment,
which viii occur on the 10th, when he will
be set at liberty.

newspapers here, both Democrat and Re

THE CHRIsTIANCYs.
How the Daughter Of His Landlady
Won b Old Senator.

The story Of their domestic troubles il
one which has often been repeated in his
world. There could have been nothing
attractive to q rosy young beauty in a feeble
old senator, except his reputed wealth and
social position. The senator, however, was
not so dazzled by his dream Of love and the
prospect OF cheering his declining years
with . bonnie young bride as to lose his
wits entirely. Before his marriage he
transferred all his property, consisting Of
real estate in Michigan and Kansas and
mill property in Indiana, to his daughter.
The only thing left was a life insurance
policy for $50, 600, of which, in case OF his
death. the widow will get one-third. When
the bride, after the delightful honeymoon
was over, discovered that the property had
been disposed Of, it is not improbable that
she declared that the old man was a fraud.
A gentleman who was acquainted with
Miss Lugenbeel relates that she announced
her intention Of marrying a man "as rich
a. butter" sometime before she caught the
senator. After the marriage he met her
again, and she reminded him Of her decla-
ration, adding that she had kept her word.
Another cause Of trouble in the Christiancy
family is the existence Of grown-up chill
d~ren--older than the young wife-who took
. great interest in the old mans connubial
affairs.
The way in which the marriage was
brought about. according to = story pub
lished ct the time, was unique. The sena-
tor boarded at the same house with Miss
Lugenbeel. One day Miss Lugenbeel, it is
stated. glided down the stairway, rushed
into the parlor where the old man was
seated, and astounded him by throwing
her arms about his neck and kissing him
In q vigorous manner. She quickly drew
back. however, and explained that she had
mistaken him for one Of her relatives.
The old gentleman liked 1t, however, and
Immediately began proceedings to put
himself in a position where he could be
astounded again.

some OF the Pioneers Of h Black
Hills.

TDesdwooG Times.l
There were other men who came to the
Hills in early days; not only great men,
but good men; men who had LETT their
! homes in other countries and came here
with their lives in their hands to help
found an empire that would be an honor
to civilization, Christianity and humanity.
Prominen. among these was Samuel l..
Hartman. familiarity known as Laughing
Sam. He toiled not, neither did he spin,
vet every dsy saw him feasting on the fat
Of the land. and his raiment was immacu-
late. He always had money, and was un-
s~crupulous as to the manner in which he
became possessed of it. Sam was q bravo,
and in his daily intercourse with Dead
wood society was q walking arsenal, going
around loaded down with arms. At the
time we speak Of, samuel Young was q
bartender in Lewis & Mann's saloon On
Main street, and Laughing Sam was q
frequenter OF the place, and becoming en-
ragged at Young for demanding pay for
certain drinks be had, got out his gun and
proposed to make a pepper box out Of
Young's carcass. Young retreated, and
was followed by the laugher into a back
room, with all kinds Of threats of extermi-
nation il he ever dared to insult him again.
Young was unarmed. and could do nothing
else but retreat. He told Sam that the
next time be came into the saloon, to COM
prepared, as be would shoot him ON sight.
During that evening. Sam came across
Myer Baum, known in those days as
hummer Dan" a Jew. q gambler and a
quiet, peaceable man. San had q peculiar
overcoat, different from all others in the
camp, with stripes running across it,
something sfter the manner OF the embel-
ishments OF q zebra. Sam, thinking to
test the earnestness of Young, persuaded
Baum to put on his overcoat and walk
into the salonn. 1t was Sans intention
TO go in with Baum. and il Young made
any hostile demonstrations towards the
striped oyercoat to come to the front, and
having Young at & disadvantage, put him
in a situation to start a graveyard with.
hummer Dan. after buttoning up to the
chin, marched in, and as soon as Young
saw the striped overcoat he unlimbered
his gun and pumped his belly full Of
bullets. His prompt action scared Sam,
and he ignominiously fed. hummer Dan
was killed, and Young was tried for the
murder and acquitted. Since that time
Sam Young went on a stampede with
George Dow, and news has come that he
was hung in Oregon. Laughing Sam was
tried in Rapid City. in October, 1878, for
highway robbery, cinched, and cent to the
penitentiary for nine years, and is now
learning TO make chairs.

Twsnty-nine journals are to-day pub
Iished in this country, conducted exclu-
s;vsly by colored men. Among the eight
or nine thousand periodicals now issued
in the United States, twenty-nine seems
= very small number, and it is, but it is
large enough for all that to do effective
work IN the present. with . prospect be-
fore It Of future usefulness which no man
can adequately measure. Twenty-Five
of these are in the South, where, perhaps,
they can do most good. The rest are
distributed among Eve other States.
When we consider how brief has been
the period during which this negro jour
nalism has sprung into existence, we can
mot but be surprised at its remarkable
development. At the breaking out OF
the civil war there were not beyond two
or three in the whole country so con-
Quoted from that number to twenty
nine isa step in the march Of progress
that may well merit recognition. Doubt
less it is but an earnest Of what the future
has in store. II is, we trust, the leaven
which viii in time leaven the African race
in this country. We take it for granted
that in the South the circulation of these
journals Is confined principally to the
negro population Such as have no
means or opportunities Of attending
school, win in their newspapers find a
means Of instruction and enlightenment
hardly inferior to that afforded by the
free schools themselves. They reach
every age and every condition, and not
the rising generation only. They indi-
cate : rate of progress among the former
serfs Of the country that has not been
suspected by the general public What
ever other advantages shall come to the
colored = c in this country, its great
hope must always be in education The
more advances they make in this direc-
ton, the more rapid will be their progress
in other directions. We have more hope
in this fundamentally than in legal n
actments- It gives this long oppressed
people . fair opportunity Of working out
its mental emancipation, and we will be
~grisvously disappointed if in the end the
results are not everything we can reason
ably hope from 30 suspicious a beginning.

LONDON, April 10.-The Times says the
Queen is expected to arrive in England by
the end Of next week. We may, therefore,
expect in a very few days to see the formal
close Of Be~aconsield's administration. At
Lord Beaconsfeld's age it is probable that
his active career is over, and that he viii
not again WELD power. His career has
been an eminent one and by the great ma
jority Of his countrymen he viii not fail
to be regarded with the respect due to one
Of the most distinguished Of statesmen.
The article concludes: II Gladstone re-
mains outside the Ministry, it will be inn
possible to constitute il on q thoroughly
stable basis. The total number of votes
polled thus far is 1,525, 900 Liberals, and
La 900 Conservative, showing q gain Of
451 900 Liberal, and 11s, 900 Conservative
votes.
A Burmah~ correspondent ~contradicts the
report Of King Thebaw's death.
The smallpox is ravaging Mandalay, the
capital, and the heir apparent has fallen a
victim. The Mandalay astrologers main
tain that In order to remove the evil infiu-
cuCc . Blcat preparatory eacriuce Is requl-
site. The victims will be taken from all
ranks to the number Of 400. The priests
contribute 100. and the remainder are men,
women and children. Many arrests have
been made to secure a sufficient number Of
victims. The priests. who have hitherto
enjoyed immunity from sacrifices, are leav-
ing Mandalay in great numbers. The
Catholic convent was entered to procure
victims from among the girls there, but the
attempt was frustrated. The internal con-
dition Of the country is most unsatisfac-
tory. The people, while seeing the folly
Of drunken King Thebaw's acts, are help
less to effect a change.
ST.. PETERSBURG, April 10.-The Agence
Russo declares that China has not been in
stigated by any foreign power to assume an
attitude hostile to Russia, and that it would
be premature to apprehend serious compli-
cations relative to the Kuldja question, as
the nature Of China's proposal is unknown.
Russia. however, Is not accustomed to re-
gard . treaty which has been concluded as
nonresident, and il new negotiations be-
come necessary they will be carried on
under conditions better calculated to Sc
cure the execution Of the treaty.

Friday, would have been better known
to fame had his efforts in connection with
the Petersburg mine during the late civil
war been properly seconded by his brother
oficen. His project Of blowing up the
Confederate fort situated on Cemetery
Hill, in front Of Petersburg, Va, was
looked upon with comparative indiffer-
ence BY Gems. Grant and Meade, and was
mot wholly successful because, a. Gen.
Grant subsequently, said. The advance
was intrusted to Gen. Ledlie. the very
worst general officer in the Army Of the
Potomac" Had the enterprise been suc-
cessful it i possible our sectional strug-
gle might have terminated in July, 1864,
at ~Pstersburg. and not in April, 1855, At
Appomattox.
