CITY,

The pioneer town ofthe Hills is situat-
or fifteen miles from the foot hills and
its natural advantages are acknowledged
by all AZ excelling all others either in
the mining or agricultural districts.
Located in Il valley ten or twelve miles
long hy one mile in wid.h. il is easily
accessible to railroads ci.her frcm the
east, son'il or west. and i. the only town
in the Hills hat could be tapped by n
r1s.i running on an east ahI west line,
fru,t either iierre or Chamberlain. To
tap any other town, a road, having as its
objective point the Yellowstone park or
the pariti.' coast, would have TO make a
dctnIr from leo to POO miles. Already
surveys have been run by various roads
having this point i'm view. Thus situat-
CT ], draws 20 IL slipper: The business
OF the uininy districts Of the Southern
Hills and also that Of the farming and
stock raising interests, the latter ex-
tending for sixty mics to The south and
west. II is also the ccntre of the richest
mica district in the world, there being
within a radius of three miles no less
than a half dozen producing mines the
annual yield of which is upward of
20,0O0 pounds of understandable mica to
the mine. On the north, and from two
20 ten miles from town are the bonanza
gold mines of the Southern Hills inciud-
ing the Grand Junction, Old Bill, Hart
ford, Atlantic, salmon, ST. Elmo, Penob.
scot. Gold Star and others, Il majority of
which have mills, hosting works, etc,
now in operation. On the south for ten
or twelve miles are TO be found rich cop
ppr and silver mines and on the west
the coal fields. gypsum beds, salt and oil
springs, while fertile farming lands are
s;,ndwiched i'm between all. As an illu-
stration OF the money TO be made on
ever "a small piece Of farming land in
he valleys surrounding Custer we will
state that J. \. Wright on seventeen
acres. located two miles west of town,
cleared ST 500 in summer. On the
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, and
which arc equal to those of Arkansas.
The town is the county seat Of Custer
county, which hasa an area Of3,0OO square
miles, two-thirds Of which is agricultural
and grazing lands and the other third
mineral, the latter occupying the north
ern portion of the county arc covered
with a heavy growth of Norway pine
The town has a $4,000 court house, two
fine church-buildings, belonging to the
| Methodist and congregational societies
and will o have u 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 Dakot;
10 locate and invest i'm either mercantile
mining, agricultural or stock-raisin,
pursuits can do no better than to cam
in Custer county or city.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.
The Lecture of Rev. L. Dewitt
Talmadge.

4 large audience assembled at the
Congregational church in this city, on
last Thursday evening to listen to the
lecture of Rev. 7. Dewitt Talmadge
ON THE Bright Side of Things" DR..
ralmadge is a man of fine appearance
and commanding presence, and not to
be compared to the carricatures made
of him by Puck" and exhibits none
Of the ludicrous CREATIONS attributed
to him by the same Journal. The lee
turer strOve to impress upon his
hearers the tact that person could be
noble and brave and at the same time
gentle. loving and kind, and completely
refuted the idea that it was an evil
dence of weakness in man to always
be polite and gentle manly. He cited
the case of Henry Clay, who as speaker
Of the house Of representatives. never
had occasion TO use the gavel to preserve
order and gain attention in what is
usually a scene OF boi5trous confusion,
is a remarkable instance of the Won
derful influence Of quiet, gentle firm
ness. As word painter he certainly
has but few equals. His portrayals Of
human character and everyday Incl
dents was 50 good that no one could
withhold his admiration. In cOnclu-
sion, his description of the burn
ing Of the Smithsonian Institute some
wears since, to which he was an eve
witness. was vivid, powerful and
peculiarly affecting. He urged upon
all to encourage a cheerful dispo-
siti0n in order to drive away undue
care aud anxiety. His lecture was full
of good points and taking hits. Being
someW hat enthusiastic is to this re-
markable man whose sermons are SO
widely read, we give herewith a pic
ture which will, we think do more
Justice to him than Will the represen-
Iions in PUCK"

The republicans Of the United states
senate have not east off Malone and
Rlddlrbcrgcr, but on the contrary have
honornd them above their fellow mem
brrs. Malone is the chairman of the
committee on public buildings and Il
mcmbct If fOm other important com
miltccs. Riddlcbergcr is chairman of
the committee of manufactures and a
member Of four committees besides.
As the republicans Of the senate have
an.ajority Of only two over the demo-
Gratis, they control the offices by the
grace of Mahour and RddIcbcrgcr;
hence the honDr5 paid to these two re-
pudialors Verify the q. o. p. has fallen

comforting honors upon the best and
pmrcst statesman Of the country il
must pay such men rs Mahouc and

by the republicans of the state so
much and beyond all reason, that it
would be but simple justice to homer
this man with the nomination, who
while having been one of the worst
kind Of political bosses with which
which the country has been afflicted of
late wears, is anything but hypocrite.
and equally incapable of the double
dealing of the self-gloritied saints who
shout themselves hoarse over victory
gained and shut their eyes to the dis
reputable means by which the victory
NAV have been obtained.

No local contest in Virginia will attract
more attention on May Oath, than that in
Norfolk county. Sheriff Lesner who has
for many years, according to the Norfolk
Virginia,s, "had undisputed control Of the
Republican party in that county" has
kicked against Boss Malone. He has
also shown his power by holding a
straight-out Republican convention and
securing the nomination for reelection to
the Sheriffalty. The same body nominal
ed ex-Congressman John F. Dezendorf for
County Treasurer. This split of Republic
cans from the Malone party is made the
more dangerous from the fact that the
vote in that county in November was
Wise (Coalitionist) 1871, Massey tDem. J
l.247, and Dawson {Rep.) 524, leaving the
Coalitionists margin of only twenty
woes to 60 on if the Democrats should
take it into their heads to add their vote
to that Of Lesner's friends. The election
of Lesner would in all probability be fol-
lowed by sending an opponent of Malone
to the State Senate tins fall. The situa.
ton is so grave that Gen. Malone has
gone to the field in person and pitched bis
tent in the congenial camping ground of
the navy yard. where he is guest of Com
modore Mayo.
