Dakota for Specimens.
Black Hills Times .

A portion of the territories of Montana
and Dakota contain wonders which the
lover of nature may search the globe over
in vain to equal. Their like does not rest
upon this footstool. The National Park
is the worthy museum Of unexampled
wonders, which by right great republic
shoul possess; the government itself being
the great wonder Of the triumoh OF hui
mainly. The geysers. the falls, and the
thousands Of of objects worth journey
to see, of the Yellowstone park have in
manner been described again and again.
but the wonders of Dakota are but little
known except to select few scientists.
To the student, to the geologist who
would read the past history on the pages
creation, who would wish to examine the
yestiges Of of former age, and trace the
pathway of time in the high road Of ma
ture, no country on the face of the earth
presents the field that Dakota does. At
some age how far back we dare not pre-
tend to say, the beasts of the field and
| the fowls Of the air made this land their
paradise. Their bodies lie embalmed al

tiles Of the soil and climate have preserv-
ea them almost intact. even when exposed
to the atmosphere. Thousands Of tons of

miles Of Deadwood. and giant fish or rep

the territory, the bad lands especially, APP

these researches, we wonld say, leave of
tinkering with the trivial fields Of the cas-,

Bible reading has become fashionable
since the advent of the new version. The
sales have been very large in all the prin-
cipal cities, and would have been much
larger but for the very comprehensive
synopsis of the changes, which were pub
lished by the newspapers Immediately
after the issuance of the new revision.
While some buy the book who never pick
up bible from one year to another, the
majority of purchasers are of course vitality
interested in it's contents.

A Washington dispatch says: tx
Senator Dorsey is in this city completely
broken up in mind. The star-route reve-
lations have Frustrated him. He is no
longer proud in spirits. 1t is alleged that
for a week his house has been under de-
tectives eye, who reports to the Attorney
General all who communicate with him.
1t is said there is evidence not made pub
lie which will place Dorsey in more en-
barassing position than he now is. In
1876 Dorsey was active and instrumental
in exposing Blaine's connection with the
Eityio isos.z :...S Fer. Smith railroad Of
!! Arkansas, which defeated him for the
Presidential nomination. Nowthe scenes
have shifted, and Blaine is on top.

DRUGS, CHEMICALS, ETC.

Within the past ten days immense stocks OF
goodl have boon received at Canton. Trains have
been running daily, and cars Allied with merchan-
disc have been left here to be run out on the track
between the Pembina depot and Beloit. Hundreds
Of tons Of goods of every descripi on have been
opened out and the stores are filled to overlooking

places for their wares. Goods that were ordered
during the blockade together with the usual spring

goods never was known before in Canton.

The stock Of dry goods and groceries must be
seen to be appreciated. Nothing in the history Of
CANT on has equaled it, and the rarest chances
are now offered to purchasers. The drug stores
are filled to erowing, and when you are in town
you should not fail to drop into Lewis & Houses
and see their goods. They have complete assort-

selling lead and oil together with the celebrated

1 Mining Romance.

A year igo an American prOspec!or of the better sort, understanding Spanish thoroughly, while looking over Ibe archives of an old church near Magdalenn, Sonora discovered manuscript report of a Jesui; priest who travelled over Arizona mCTe r!fin one hundred ears ago. 1he tiave missionary, in the cause of CLrist and in the interest ot Spain, had traversed deserts, f.rded rivers, crossed mountains and batiled with Indians. lie was finely educa ed, particularly ;n mineralory and geo. ugy.

IL Is said 10 be d mine richer than any yet discovered, but adds that Tn SO- nora there Is mine as far ahead of Silver King ss Silver King Is ahead Oi OIdlnETy mines. The longitude and latitude Of thl, mine IS gwen, aud the paper adds that wheE lhis mine Is developed untold wealth will be dug out, and silver will become a drug in the market. It is also stated
 Il Hl lhts mine has been somewhat de- veloptd, and that the suit.cc indies tlous were surprising. From an eX- animation oi tue uata, Nr John J. CsrIillo of Los Angeles. was led to hunt for the mine, ant he believes he has four q it. He finds an old shaft at n 6 eXaos locality Large trees have grown Up In it, and the dump is cov- cred with vegetation. Ages have elapsed since the miners have been silenced in death. CnceasiBg vegeta- lion has in a measure obliierated ihe work, but it is estimated that 5000 tons of ore, averaging SlOO to the i"n, are on the dump. Mir CarTill0 is now on ihe way 10 San Francisco with eight ions Cf the rock, and proposes immediately to develop the mine. He expects to strike virgin silver at depth of forty feet below the present bottom of the shaft, and as native sil- Yer can be picked up any place on the old dump, be has every assurance of success.
