bills; one, for the Mississippi; the other,
| for the smaller streams, creeks and
| branches. He said that his purpose was to
perfect the navigability Of the great river as
that of an arm of the sea and that he wished
| to seperate it, as a great national necessity,
| from petty Jobs and electioneering expen-
ditures. Mr.. Cox then predicted at the
| first session of the 47th congress the partial
or total failure of the $40 600, 900 river and
harbor bill Six millions were not used by
| the war Office under this bill and the eight
million bill of the last session failed in the
| senate. Hence nothing was gained but
much lost by this confusion of great and
| triting propositions, the scheme involving
the enactment OF tritiing and wrongful
appropriation by the force and weight OF
wise and just measures from which the first
could rot be separated. Mr.. Blackburn
voted with Mr.. Cox on this issue in the
Forty.titth congress, and with him signed
the protest against such measures as did
Mr.. Carlisle. Randall, as well as Carlisle,
is Of record as voting against these stipend
GUS river and harbor bills. Randall was so
anxious to be approved in this behalf that
he telegraphed Cox to find pair" for him
on the $20,OOO,0OO bill. This fact is Of
record. IT the Times Democrat must as
sault somebody in this behalf why VIC
timize Mr.. Cox? Randall has broader
shoulders and Carlisle and Blackburne
longer legs, to say nothing of the area OF
the rest of their persons.
TOM CoRWIN cox.
But only proposed to prevent gross
wrong to Mr.. Cox, whose ability and learn
ing is second to that of no member of the
house. He will persist in making the con-
gress and country laugh and is not, there
fore, one of the solemn ID fools" of
whom Tom Corwin said, "they always get
mp in the world" and then the old Ohio
humorist and statesman added, 'if l had
lever cracked q joke l would have been
president. Mr. Cox is the anti-monopoly |
revenue tariff, anti.land-grant candidate.
He is the finest sci olar, of the keenest, |
quickest perceptive Tlculties, and most |
perfect aster of the rules and of the poll !
tics of the house and of the country. He |
certainly deserves fair treatment, even if he |
should not have the speakership. !

my MOTHER
ron rnEsUsDAY ngsALp,

IoHTHEHuNpAY HEgALDi
It's growing laie-the day Is done.
slt within my room alone,
drop my book TO rest while,
| With musIng deep the hours begulle,
When softly falls upon my ear
A gentle voice so sweet and clear,
Hook Without across the street,
And see woman, fair and neat,
Holding babe upon her breast,
And sweetly singing II 10 rest.
A song heard in boyhood's hour,
That has o or me a strange, sweet power,
song my mother used to sing,
And fancy bears me on her wing
backward down a shadowy aisle,
Ana am now. once more child.
Pm stand ing by my mothers side,
she murmurs soft, my boy, my pride!"
AND fondly draws me to her breast,
Then bids me now go to my rest
Now, kneeling by my little bed,
My mother bends above my head,
One loving arm close clasps me round.
Her tender words, how sweet they sound
Say, Now Law me down to sleep,
And pray the Lord nv boy to keep"
Then folds me way so close and tight
And bids me kiss her Sweet good night"
fall asleep mid happy Dreams
How rosy bright the future seemsl
Oh! Time, how swift has been our flighty!
How long ago that happy night.
How many changes you have wrought
How many cares your years have brought
That precious mother lies to-day,
Within church yard far away.
AM no, In no dark grave she lies
But far above. beyond the skies.
In that fair land of endless day
My mother lives. and lives for ave.
The boy she fondly called her pride,
Through earth has drifted far and wide.
Has grappled with the sons of men,
Fought life's way with sword and pen.
Has made name, men call him great,
A country's praises on him wait,
His fame has travelled many miles,
Gained mans homage, womans smiles.
All things conspire his life TO crown.
Great wealth and honors weight him down.
Oh! Mother from your lofty height,
Look down upon your boy tonight
For he is weary ofthis praise,
OF folly's world, its gold en- maze,
Has wearied OF the homage grown
That ever to the great is shown.
And he would lay this glory down,
That with SO many cares abound,
Would throw it down as tho toy,
To be for Just one hour, boy.
To lean his head upou your breast
From care and weary toll to rest
And know that in life's crowded mart,
There beats for him one fond true heart
Fame and ambition are cheat
Their brilliant glorles oh, how fleet
Honor is but an empty sound!
Wealth, with unrest is ever found.
Earth has its pleasures, confess,
Traces of Eden we still possess.
But what we have of heaven above,
Is chiefly in mothers love.

Inexhanstible beds of gypsum cncircle
the entire Hills, just inside the foothills
and outside the main Black Hills. At
present it is only used by plasterers.
With the advent of railroads, it will be
shipped to the states east Of the Missouri
rive, there to be used as a fertilizer on
their worn u lands.
Petroleum is found on the west side Of
the Hills in Wyoming territory near the
boundary line between Dakota and
Wyoming. No works have as yet been
established for refining. 1t is only used
for lubricating purposes by the Home
stake and other companies at their
mills.
Salt springs are situated about eight
miles northeast Of the oil springs and in
Wyoming territory. Salt for the entire
Hills is manufactured here, and sold on
the ground for two cents per pound.
Marble of a beautiful purple color is
found near Rapid City and Custer, and
sand stone, granite, slate porphyry and
limestone is plentiful, and is found in
every part of the Hills.
The Black Hills is a well watered
country, being drained by the forks of
the Cheyenne river and their tributa-

ers, 50 per day mechanics from 81 to Sc
per dag miners, 81 per day.
Money is loaned at from Is Ia sc per

rate of interest is that there are so many
opportunities Of investing money to
good advantage that few people have
any to loan, and The demand has always
exceeded the supply.

CUSTER CITY,

The pioneer town ofthe Hills is situat-
ed In the southern portion about twelve
or fifteen miles from the foothills and
lis natural advantages are acknowledged
by all as eXcelling all others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located iii Il valley ten or twelve miles
long by one mile in width, it is easily
accessible 20 railroads either from the
east, south or west, and is the only town
in the Hills that could be tapped by a
road running on an east and west line,
from either Pierre or Chamberlain. To
tap amy other town, a road. having as its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the Pacific coast. would have to make a
ietou. nom 100 to $50 miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point in view. Thus situat-
cd it draws to It's support the business
of the mining districts of the Southern
Hills and also that Of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter ex.
tending for sixty miles 10 tie south and
west. Ii is also the centre Of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within n radius Of three miles no less
than Il half dozen producing mines the
annual yield Of which is upward o,
10000 pounds Of understandable mica &c
the mine. On the north, and from two
to ten miles from town are the bonanza
gold mines of the Southern Hills includ.
ing the Grand Junction, Old Bill, Hart.
ford, Atlantic, Salmon, st. Elmo, Penob.
scot, Gold Star and others, a majority Of
which have mills, hoisting works, etc.
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are to be found rich con.
per and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields, gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
sandwiched in between all. AS an illu
stration OF the money to be made or
even a small piece of farming land ir
The valleys surrounding Custer we viii
state that j. \. Wright on seventeen
acres, located two miles west of town
cleared 81 500 in one summer. On tn.
south, within six or eight hours ride
are the famous Hot Springs, whose cur
alive powers are already attracting the
attention of the outside world, anc
which are equal to those of Arkansas
The town is the county seat of Custer
county, which hasan area Of 5000 square
miles, t%wo-thirds Of which is agriculture
and grazing lands and the other thirt
mineral, the latter occupying the north
crn portion Of the county are covered
with Il heavy growth of Norway pine
The town has a $1,000 court house, tw,
fine church-buildings, belonging to the
Methodist and Congregational societies
and will 500 have a large school build
ing. Business is increasing, improve
ments are being made daily and it il
bound to be the metropolis ofthe South
ern Hills. All those Of our eastern
readers who think Of coming TO Dakots
to locate and invest in either mercantile
mining, agricultural or stock-raisins
pursuits can do no better than 10 camr
in Custer county or city.

Frenchman recently from California

At last the wife, tired out and com let

absolutely refused to give her any more
substantial wealth, never even dreaming
for a moment thai at that late day the old
woman would carry her vile threat into
execution. But in an evil hour, the old
female gambler did so, with the dire re-
suits stated. As the young wife refuses
to give up to her husband, and
as her attorney, one of the
leading lawyers of this city, declares that
under the peculiar circumstances of the
case the marriage is legal, it is stated that
the young broker, goaded on by his indig-
nant mother, will institute a suit for a
divorce at an early day.

BERLIN, Feb. 7.-Referring to the dis
cussion IN France on Gen. Theb urdin's
conduct at Metz, the Kreuz Zeitulg says:
The government is right in deeming it a
matter for the French people and army to
consider whether they are willing to accept
as the highest representative of the army,
a general who has broken his word of
honor.
BERLIN, Feb. THE Emperor William
held a conference Tuesday with Count Won
Hatzfeldt, foreign secretary. The import
ance attached to the interview is a reported
discussion which related to Bismarck's
health.
BERLIN, Feb. THE Prussian provinces
of Saxony, Hesse and Nassau, have been
designated for the great military ma
neuvers under the personal dHtection of
the Emperor William. Five weeks have
been devoted to the siege operations at
Grandeasse.
BERLIN. Feb. THE emperor is especi-
ally gratifed at the acceptance of the
Prince of Wales of the coloneecy of
Blucher's hussars. He announced the ap-
pointment in a very touching autograph
letter to the prince.
A deputation from the regiment request
permission to tender personally to Wales
the expression of their sense of the honor
conferred, and hops he will attend the
spring or autumn parade, and present the
regiment to the emperor.
HAMBURG, Feb. THE case against the

amined. 1t is rumored that prosecution
for manslaughter is intended.
BERLIN, Feb. THE liberals and ultra
mantanes protest against holding sessions
of the lantag and reichstag sumultane-
ously.
Germany continues excited over the
elevation of Gen. Thebaudin to the French

possibly prove a source of fresh calami-
ties for France and Germany, and mis-
fortune to other countries likewise.

mission. 1t was an old bill introduced four
years ago. The only change was
in the clause empowering the
commission to lease land
instead of purchasing. The principle in
volved in the bill is wrong.
Aid. Glenn spoke at length in favor of
the protest, and gave forcible reasons upon
which the council should oppose the bill.
Aid. Morse stated that the committee
from the council never approved of the
bill nor any portion thereof.
The resolutions we're adopted.
A warrant for $454 was ordered drawn
in favor of Weeks & Holscher for material
used at the pest house, and warrant for
1875 was authorized drawn in favor of
Edgar Folsom.
The sum of $44 was ordered placed to
the credit of the First ward fund.

includes that territory commencing at the
Mississippi river at point on Fourteenth
avenue northeast, thence south to Western
avenue south, thence southwesterly to
Second street, thence to Sixth avenue,
south; thence to the river.
AID Glenn was anxious to have the
ordinance passed under suspension of the
rules. The ordinance was placed upon
second reading and passage.
A warrant for $273.32 was ordered drawn
in favor of the Sisterhood of Bethany, that
being one-third of the fines of fallen
women for January.
Also warrant in favor of J. S. Void
for grading Fourteenth avenue, south.
The ordinance granting permission to
the American District Telegraph company
to erect poles and string wires III the
streets and alleys was given a second read
ing for amendment. The ordinance was
referred back to the committee on fire de-
partment for amendments.
The ordinance prohibiting the blowing
of locomotive whistles in the city was
taken up and given second reading. 1t
was then read by its title and passed.
The report of the commissioners upon
opening and extending of First avenue,
south, was confirmed.
