4 Vienna paper says: James Gordon
Bennett, q very rich American, has
settled hinsclf in the former residence
Of Henry ", and his extravagances,
made light by the ownership Of millions,
have not in any degree damaged Pau.
For example, Bennett engaged the
Vienna Capelmeister Strauss, with his
entire company, at an hOnoraium of
10000 francs, TO come to Pau, where he
played Il series Of concerts ut which all
Pan were guests.
Mr.. Mackay, the American nabot,
who, with his soirecs, costumed balls,
etc, has busted all Paris, came with his
wife to Pau To honor them Mr. Ben
nett arranged bail, engaging private
express trains which brought from
Paris and other cities, also from the
neighborhood Of Pau, brilliant com
pany The people called this ball "the
diamond ball" for at no opportunity
save this and here was it possible to be-
hold such wealth Of diamonds. 1T
was not mere dewdrops that sparkled
and glanced, it was Niagara of brilli-
ants and diamonds" said member Of
the company, who pitied Mrs. Mackey
because her treasures Of jewelry almost
weighted her down.
Now some ignorant people would sup
pose that the renowned James Il. was
the only editor who lived in such ex-
travagant style. Pshaw that is mere
b. g.atell. We have often lived in the
former residences ofpre historic man: in
the deserted tepee OF the grand high
muck, a muck of the Dakotlhs, and at
an enormous expense We have engaged
a chorus of coyotes to eXcruciate the
tvmpanium before now, that would dis
count any Strauss company and not half
play their game, and it did not in any
degree damage our paw either.

their own living from that time on until
they are gathered up for the market.
Once year the various owners have to
ur leftake task like the present one
for the purpose Of branding their calves
which can now be done so as to give
each proprietor his own stock, as the
calves now follow their mothers and
whatever brand she may have is put on
the offspring. Tlris looks easy enough,
but when it is taken into consideration
that the stock turned out year ago has
been allowed to roam wherever it pleas
cd, and that they must he gathered up
and each calf branded on the range to
which it belongs in corral $50 the
rules of the association demand.) 1t will
be readily seen that it is no fool Of Job.
Each tributary of the Cheyenne has to
be explored from head to mouth and all
the hills and valleys laying alongside Of
il, are liable to have little bunch Of
stock hidded away somewhere in its
recesses. Everything in the way Of
stock that can be found Is driven out to
the river there to join the main herd
each owner then cuts out the stock
which belongs to him and men are de-
tailed to keep each one Of these indivi-
dual herds, which is moved along with
the roundup until the range is reached
on which they belong where they are
kept then un.il the whole country has
been secured and all the cattle gathered
into the range to which they belong.
Branding will then commence. ID. II.
Clark, of Rapid City, who is owner Of
one OF the large herds Of this county, is
the foreman or captain Of this roundup,
and thus far has given the best Of satis-
faction to the stock men. 1t must be q
position requiring thorough knowledge
Of the n9ost advantageous method Of
handling such vast number of wild
cattle, as well as handling large num-
Der Of hot bloodel men. 1t is evidently
no sinecure. 1t is generally estimated
that the percentage Of loss during the
winter will not exceed six per cent not
withstandine the bad snow storms and
the fact that large amount Of the stock
was driven from Texas last year. The
large proprietors all say that the range
rs the best they know Of and they in
tend to drive in nany thousand more
this summer. Custer county is to-day
the largest stock raising county In the
territory, having now not less than
10000 head. This IS Il vast industry and
fs perhaps the surcst investment that
can be fos1nd The old saying that Gus
ter county had gold from the grass roots
down il now reversed for it is a fact
that she has plenty of gold from the
grass roots up.

Beecher on Conklin..

In q recent interview Henry Ward
Beechcr said in answer to the question:
"Ought Conkling to be sent back to
Washington ?"
$40, he is totally in the wrong, and
ought to go down. | have been u great
admirer Of his abilities; have stood by
him in his support of Gen. Grant, but in
this matter he has forfeited any claim to
aid and comfort. 1t will be very hard
for him to beat the Robertson element,
AS they have two powerful engines at
their command, the administration in
flucncc and the one thousand custom
house appointments. With all these
favors in his pocket, Robertson is all
powerful Moreover, Robertson is a
good man, and if he succeeds in this is.
sue, will be more powerful than Conkling
has been, and will supercedc him in
state politics He is man of character
and ability"
"Conklng is not a corrupt man is
he"
"IIc does not hesitate to employ the
machine and all Juggling appliances of
politics, but he is not personally ap-
proachable with money. Blaine is what
has kept him from being president"
"Conkling is overbearing, and dicta-
torial and unforgiving is he not"
He is imperial and ;mp!acahle; he
never forsets an injury, nor forgives an
enemy. He never looks with any
degree Of allowance upon man whom
he thinks has betrayed or wronged
him."
But is it not treason in his eye to OPP
pose him in any of his purposes"
1T would appear so. He cannot
brook opposition"
Gen Grant will stand by him in the
impending contest will he not"
"Yes, he is fastening on to New York
but he is making the worst move Of his
life. He is working against his bes
| interests"

The Hot Mineral Springs.

We have taken occasion to speak Of
the beauty and healthfulncss Of the Hot
Springs thirty miles south of here several
times, and have wondered why some
entcrprising individual has not taken
hold of them. We now learn that Mr..
Joseph Laravie and Mr.. John Davidson
intend to make this great resort for
invalids, affected with any of the dis
orders for the cure Of which the Ar
kansas hot springs are so famous. They
have already bull: q good cabin and will
at once proceed with the erection Of
suitable hotel for the accommodation Of
guests One bath has been cut in the
solid gvpsnm into which flows con-
tinuons stream Of water from the spring,
the temperature is regulated to about
blood heat. Several who have tried it
pronounce it luxury well worth the
trouble OF going there. The proprietors
for the present invite everybody to come
and use the bath free Of charge. They
are situated about ten miles west of
Buffalo Gap and are approached by
good road, turning off from the road be-
tween Custer and Buffalo Gap about
four miles north of the station. The
springs were discovered in 1875, by DR..
McGillicuddy, the present agent at Pine
Ridge, who was then with Prof. Jenney's
expedition. He, however, was unable
to improve them according to his origin
al intention, and he informed the pres
ent owners who last year located them
and have now commenced their i'm
pfovement. From what we learn Of the
springs they are no doubt destined to
become famous resort for invalids and
| pleasure seekers

The Cross Belt.

The mines on the Cross belt are more
than satisfying their owners. Where all
seem to be rich in gold there is one
which has lately shown wonderful pan

ing out in mortar good grub stake
while pushing the development of their
mine. They are all waiting the drop Of
the Cross mine stamps when they ex-
pee. to get their ore tested. This mill
is now completed and started UP some
day this week. Mr. Cross feels as con-
fidsnt of success as a man holding four
aces. Everything is so arranged about
his mine and mill that the expense will
be very light, and we agree with Mr..
Cross that the chances are largely in his
favor. He has gone to work slowly but
surely, and such persistence and deter
mination as his, deserves to meet with
commensurate reward.

The Miners Funeral.

from the Lake City Col.) world.l
The miner, Anderson, Of whose death
in Summit notice was made last week,
had a romantic trip from Del Norte to
Summit. Fourteen men drew the body
lashed to sled to the top Of the divide,
and eight men came on from the
divide to the toll-gate with the corpse.
From the toll-gate to Del Norte the trip
was made in wagons. Here is an Incl
dent Of frontier life we'll worth ponder
ing upon by our Eastern readers. We
reprint it from the Prospector as an
instance of that unfailing friendship
which Exists in the breast of men
whose exteriors may be rough, but
whose humanity would impel them to
wade through flames to pay the last
tribute of respect to a fellow man.
Picture the procession ~ading up The
snow-clad mountain, silently drawing
the body upon rude vehicle. Above
timber-line, where silence reigns sup
rene, the cold almost uncomfortable,
those friends, stalwart, good aud true,
pursue their toilsome way over the
snow crust, to be rewarded only by the
consciousness that the remains Of their
cOmrade shall find Christian sepulture
i'm dedicated ground. Some account OF
this kind act will, doubtless, go across
the sea and reach, perhaps, some cottage
in Sweden, where the old parents shall
read the letter, and, amid their binding
tears, thank God that in far off Americs
the body Of their son. whose soul wen
out of this world from the loneliness o
a cabin-for Anderson died suddenly
with no one near-was cared for an,

The Roundup.

The Cheyenne river Roundup started
in OH Hat creek about two weeks
ago, commencing at the south west
corner of the range and intending to
work from that point down to the
mouth Of the Belle Fourche. Those un-
acquainted with the modus operandi are
probably not aware what sort Of job
the stockmen tackle when they begin a
roundup. The cattle when driven into
the country are turued loose and seek

LATEST.
From the New York Dog Fight.
No Probability Of an Election.
LATEST.

New York, May 3O.-Conkling told a
friend Saturday there was nothing to bc
gained by withdrawing now, and having
gone SO far he intended to fight it out.
A member of the state committee living
outside the city, who called upon Conk-
ling yesterday, and afterward talked
with IL Tribune reporter, said ConGling
was bitter in his denunciations against
that man from Maine This committee
man said his fight was not against Gar
fold but against that man from Maine.
Garfield is all right The question with
Conkliny is whether he shall allow
Blaine TO manage the parry in this state.
Blaine has not been able to carry Maine
in September and then rush over here
and interfere with Conking and then go
to PENNSYLVANIA and make speeches and
attempt 10 undermine Cameron, and
again in Illinois he did the same thing
with Logan. He did succeed in defeat
ing Carpenter in Wisconsin and he in
terfered in the same way with Morton
in Indiana.
Albany, May 80. Most Of the repub-
leans insisted on "A caucus before Tues
days session; and they have enough to
make it imperative and binding on all
who desire to act with the republican
party in the state to obey the summons.
The half breeds although averse TO "A
caucus, will confer and review their dis
sensions Tht Stalwarts are as confident
as ever; they believe the others will be
unable to unite on any one and the re-
action will select Conkling and Platt.
Corncll's friends claim that he is the
strongest man yet named. There will
be Il democratic caucus tonight and it is
rumored they will nominate two inferior
men.

SOMEWHAT MIXED.

Albany, May 30.-The stalwarts on
the start put down some ninety names
Of members on their roll for caucus
These names have been reduced until
the list contained only a minority Of
some fifty names, but these Withdrew
their names or at least most of them

ling anG Platt.
