THE PIONEER VERSION.
Deadwood Pioneer.

Judge Bennett does not seem to be
satisfied with the condition of his boom
in the Hills. He has been very much de-
ceived by the few of his admirers who
have been~in continued correspondence
with him, and personal inspection
does not find the field so rosy tinted as
represented. He should have expected
this, because his informants have not
the reputation of being good judges of
political events. They have misrepre-
sented the peopleto the Judge, and the
judge to the people, and where the Judge
expected great boom and the latter ex-
pected a great man. Both are disap-
pointed. Each over-rated the situation,
and the field is now open to any of the
numerous aspirants.

A Grassl,opper Sharp. :

Chicago, July 3l.-Prof. Cyrus Thom-
as, of Carbondale, Illinois, member Of the
United States etomologist commission,
claims to have discovered solution of
the grasshopper plague. Mr.. Thomas
has just returned from an extensive tour
in the far northwest, where he reports
the crops in good condition. He says
the grasshopper does not like moisture,
and that he is always fond of dry prai-
ries. This being the case, he lectures, if
the people of the west will engage in for
est culture to limited extent the trees
will in time cause grasshoppers to make
away from the fertile fields of the west
into regions where they cannot do much
harm.

ANOTHER GOOD PLACE FOR IT.
Huron Central.

Huron Central.
The day is not far distant when the
capital Of Dakota will be removed from
Yankton to more central location and
we believe, as does the majority of the
Dakotaians, that its new situation should
be on the Jim. No better point on the
river can be found than Huron, its many
railroads, extending in. every direction
conceivable and the natural advantages
which it offers proves our assertion. BY
all means the gateway of central Dakota
should be made the capital.

A Remedy Proposed.

Paris, July 31-A late European paper

taxation on improved means Of transpor-
tation and revision of the land tax.

The Wheat Crop.

Chicago,J July 3l.-The Times this morn

number Of places in the spring what grow
ing section of the northwest, from which
it appears that while spring wheat crop
in northern Illinois and Wisconsin is in
ferior, the yield in Minnesota and Dako-
to will be unprecedented in quantity and
quality. Good Judges estimate the pro-
duct in Minnesota at 100000 bushels.
In Dakota, where the berry is
unusually large and solid, yield of
from fifteen to thirty-tive bushels per
acre Is expected. Harvesting is in prog
ress in many places.

OLD JOURNALISM.

We have all heard good deal about an
tiquities in the shape of fossil newspapers
published in England when journalism was
In its infancy. But IL will, perhaps, be
new to many readers to know what was
the condition OF the periodical press in
France and Germany hundred years ago.
II was about this time that curious ex-
ample was afforded In Prussia of a news
paper bestowed gratuitously on those by
whom II was expected TO be read. The
journal in question was addressed "1o
every father Of a family" and was, no
guidance of the recipients. The Gauiois,
which records this fact, gives also sketch
of one of the French weekly papers, printed
in 1880, or thereabouts and from that time
forward through the earlier days of the
revolutionary period. This is the Mer-
curry of France" which was a weekly jour
nal of the character now called oficious,"
and did not pretend to be innocent of gov
ernment influences. 1t was published on
Saturday, and each number is said to have
octave pages which were equally divided
between home and foreign intelligence.
Literature made up the principal part of it,
and each number invariably began with a
copy of verses, besides containing other
poetic effusions of very various merit.
These, as well as many of the articles, were
for long time composed in a pastoral, If
not bucolic style, and were full of mild
illusions to the beauties of nature and the
tender passions of shepherdesses. Even al
the stirring moment when the Bastile was
being stormed, the editors of the Mercurt
were calmly and delightfully."- engaged in in.
diting rhapsodies upon the charms ofcottage
lifeamong the perfumes of the heather, and
near the branches con which Philomena
had established herself" Polemica
writing was unknown, and attacks upon 9
contemporary were as rare as they are now
common in the ranks of the Gallo press
The revolution brought political discussion
into vogue, but not in anything like iti
present shape, for while the Constituent
was sitting it was forbidden to the editors
to make any reflection or commentary upol
the debates they had reported. And whei
any event occurred over which the govern
ment was disposed to draw veil-asin tn,

"not to say word about it."--Londoi

Two notices. framed, glazed and sus-
pended upon the walls. Of dram-shop on
the New Canal at st. Petersburg, close to
Madame Sassetskis "Refuge for the Home
less, are reckoned among the curiosities
of the Russian capital by q well-known
writer in the Goios They run as follows;
''I exhott the gentlemen who honor my
establishment with their patronage to forego
robbery and theft while within the pre-
cincts, not TO thrash one another, and ON
the whole, not 10 make unpleasant noises.
Those who act In contravention 10 this
warning will receive punishment in my
dram-shop of sort that they will expert
ence no difficulty in feeling"
The second notice affords a quaint con-
trast to the first, which enwraps hideous
threat in exquisitely courteous phrases,
while the native benevolence of the eccen-
trio dram seller shines out generally in the
following kindly advertisement.
"As soon rs the cold and rainy weather
shall set in, five copecks viii be here ad-
vanced to each needy and weary man, that
he may pay for bed whereon to rest his
body"
1t appears that the author of these re.
markable notices faithfully adheres to the
text of both. If his customers misconduct
themselves he lays into them with a cud
gel; but any poor wretch presenting him
self after eight in the evening for assist
ance receives the promised five copecks
after he has exhibited his legitimatior
papers and listened to short exhortation
read aloud to him from a religious book.

HOW SHE M EFT HER BEAU.


Lord Lytton defines a selfish man in one
of his novels as one who would burn down
his neighbours house to boil his eggs for
breakfast. Clemence Broissier, young
peasant girl, aged sixteen, serves to illus
trate this theory. She fell in love with a
peasant boy of her own age in a neighbor-
ing village, and as the beautiful Hero
lighted her torch on her watch tower at
Sestos to attract Leander, so did this dam
sci set fire to ricks, barns and cottages to
draw Romarn to her village, and then, dur
ing the confusion, she contrived to get
stolen interviews with her lover. The
fires became as fast and frequent as in the
Chinese village when Ho-ti and Bo-bo first
accidentally burned down the cottage where
the SOW had farrowed and first tasted crack
ling. Fires blazed forth wherever SOW
farrowed in every pig-stye and cottage.
Mile. Broissler struck lucifer in the
thatch whenever she felt desire to meet
her sweetheart Inquiries were instituted,
and the damsel was sentenced to ten years
hard labor, but as the French laws do not
permit the inAiction of this penalty ON fe-
males, she will be shut up for a decade in
the central prison for females at Clermont
Ferrand.

ADANeNnous LANDsLir.

An "Eye-Witness" sends to the Baaf
Nachrichten an account OF the eartnslip
Which has SO jeopardized the existence OF
vitznau, Switzerland. The danger was
first perceived early one morning recently
when great masses of rock fell from the
side of the Rigi, which rises above the VII
lnge. pushing before them a considerable
breadth of cultivated land, many trees and
loose stones, the whole finally lodging on
marsly slope at the foot of the mountain
path from vitznau to Scheidegg. The
immense weight Of this mass of matter
pressed from the soil near II large quantl-
ties of slime, which, together with pieces OF
rock and small stones completely filled up
the bed Of the Dossenbach, in which, how
ever, at the time there was very little water
At first no danger was apprehended, and Il
was only when the stream Of slime, earth,
stones and water, creeping slowly Gown
ward, reached the bridge on the road froc
Vitznau to Gersau, that an alarm was
given. Then the tocsin was rung, help
sent for in hot haste to Lucerne, and means
taken to keep the danger at bay pending
the arrival of reinforcements The Gersau
bridge was destroyed to facilitate the pas
sage of the river of mud Trees were cut
down, abattis made and temporary parapets
raised to confine the Shiny stream within its
banks and protect the village from the i'm
pending deluge Meanwhile other parties
of workers cut channels to permit the out
flow of the liquid matter into the lake and
wrought hard to clear the bed Of the Dos
senbach of the stones with which it is en-
numbered 1t is hoped that these measures
will be effectual, albeit the danger is far
from being over, and several times the toe.
sin has been again sounded and the vii
layers warned to be ready to quit their
houses on short notice. A singular clrcum-
stance is that at the moment of the fall OF
the rock from the Rig, the shore of the
lake at the embouchure of the Dossenbach
sank considerably, so that the stream will
now fall, instead of flowing, into the lake
as heretofore. This occurrence tends to
confirm the theory that the esrthslip was
caused by an earthquake

ANEoDorE OFF rHAoKEnAx.

1t is related of Thackeray that, being very
desirous to see Bowery boy" he went
with friend into the haunts of that pecu-
liar creature to look for one. Very soon
his companion pointed out to him a genu-
inc specimen, standing on the corner of q
street, against lamp post, red-shirted,
black-trowsered, soap-locked, shiny hated,
with a cigar in mouth elevated ut an angle
of forty-fve degrees.
After contemplating him for few mo-
ments, Thackeray said to his friend that he
would like to talk to the fellow, and asked
if he might do SO.
"Surely," he was told; "go to him, and
ask him to direct you somewhere"
Thereupon Thackeray approached, and
said, politely:
"My friend, should like to go to"
such place.

peculiar tones, and without moving any
thing but his lips, as he looked up lazily at

A CURIOUS ROMANCE i'm REAL
LIFE.

A curious romance in real life has, ao-
cording to Madras paper, lately been
brought to light in Bangalore. Many years
ago corporal in battery of artillery To-
Gated in that station married an East In
dian girl, whose parents and relatives re-
sided there, but being sent home, his young
wife accompanied him. Shortly after his
arrival in England he deserted, and body
being found floating in the Thames, was
identified as the levanting corporal and
buried. His wife, believing herhusband to
be dead, having indeed identified the
corpse, married another husband; he died,
she married again; the third husband
died, and she is now living with store SER
geant in the ordnance lines, Madras.
Shortly after the arrival of the wing of the
Thirteenth Regiment in Bangalore, SER
geant happened to espy photograph of
the man who was supposed to have died
and been buried many years ago. He at
once said he knew him, and on being told
he could not as he had been dead many
years, he replied that the identical indi-
vidual was at that moment in Bellary, and
paymaster clerk of the Thirteenth Regi-
ment. On this statement the photograph
was sent from one man to another alliden-
titled it as being the likeness of the real
Simon Pure, and as last step it was for
warded to the adjutant, who also agreed
that it was the paymaster clerk. Ample
evidence having been produced, the pay
master clerk is now prisoner at Bellary,
having given himself up as deserter.

AN oNION-BITrNG PARTY.

Atan onion party in Rockland recently,
a wicked brunette played q high game for
kisses. AT party of this description it is
customary for the girls to go into a dark
ened room, when one of the party bites a
mouthful from an onion. A young man is
then admitted and it is his proud privilege
to kiss the batch of girls until he is enabled
by the taste to determine which one of them
bit the fragrant fruit. The brunette afore-
mentioned, in this case slipped the onion
into her pocket, instead of biting it, aud
