grand success in every particular. The
weather was as favorable as could have
been desired. The attendance was largo

did. In fact the whole affair was commend
able, and the success assures for the fall
racing splendid attendapce, both from

A VALUABLE FIND.

Claimed 10 Equal the Famous Lyd-
ian stone OF Asia Mia0r.

NkaktkeU 10 tbt ~
Ian stone OF Asia Minor.
"Adam Staunton, an old prospector,
brought to this city few days ago,
says the Virginia City Chronicle, "some
dark -colored, slab-shaped rock samples
about the size of small whetstones,
which he said were procured from a
ledge or mass Of rock in the range OF
hills bordering the northern rim OF the
desert northeast of this city. Streaks
resembling iron stains were traceable on
the face Of the rock, and the prospector
claimed that they were genuine touch
stones, equal to the famous Lydlan
stone, or touchstone originally obtained
from Lydia, in Asia Minor, a country
celebrated by the ancients for the gold
found in the river Pactolus, an aifiaent
OF the Hernus. and the rich mineral
veins contained in the rocks ON Mounts
Tmolus and SiPylus. The true Lydlan
touchstone is a veivet-black quartz or
hinty jasper, aud is used for testing the
purity OF gold assays. The metal is
rubbed on tha face OF the stone, aud the
deposit lett on the velvet-b black surface
is touched with a drop OF nitric acid.
The shade or color OF the deposit alter
the application OF the acid determines
the value OF the alloy. The peculiar
adaptability of this stone for such pur-
pose arises from the readiness with
which it abrades metals-its smooth,
dark color bringing out the different
shades of the metals rubbed on its dark
surface and touched with nitric acid in
strong contrast. The application of
the acid does not affect the surface OF
the stone. The finder claims that he
has had the stones tested and proved
them equal TO the famous Lydian stone.
These touchstones bring from $40 to
$40 each in San Francisco, and are used
by dealers in gold bullion to test the
fneness of the metal before purchasing"

A SINGULAR DRAMATEc INclDEETF1EEp
FOR GIVING THE OLD REBEL YELL.
Macon GA Telegraph and Messenger.

Macon (Ga.) Telegraph and Messenger.
A singularly dramatic incident &C.
Cured Friday near midnight in the
Superior Courtroom at Waynesboro,
during the trial of the Rogers brothers
for lhe killing of the Symses-father
and son. The killing occurred at
McBean's Station in October last.
Eminent counsel had been engaged by
the prosecution and defense, for. both
parties were prominent and wealthy.
The evidence closed and the speaking
began Friday morning, continuing all
during the day. When the court as.
sembled after tea the seats and the
aisles within the bar were crowded
with ladies', while without dense
throng Of men filed up the auditorium.
1t was before this assembly that Mr..
Twigg began his argument at 8
o'clock. Iwiggs is an eloquent
speaker, practiced in and noted for
his oratorical graces. In the course
of his three hours address he at one
time referred in the most feeling man
ner to the devotion and courage of
women. The hour, the occasion, the
audience, and the dim light, from
which the rapt faces were bent upon
him, all combined to form surround
ing well calculated to inspire the ora
tor to his greatest effort. He closed his
address upon the women as follows:
AT the battle of Gettysburg Gen
eral Pickett was ordered to begin the
charge which was to make him ia
nous. AS he went into the terrible
battle his young bride on horseback
followed him. When the hail of death
WAS beating down men. on all sides,
and the plunging shot and shell min
gled their fierce screams with the
means and cries of the mangled,
Pickett suddenly found himself in the
presence of his wife. In an agony of
fear for her safety he cried out to her
as she sat cool and collected as vete-
ran, go back Go back :! For Gods
sake go back to the rear ~ No. re-
piled the devoted woman, in the hour
of danger awife's place is by her hus-
bands side"
At this moment, through the court
room, there rang out one wild, thrilling
cry which nearly lifted the excited
throng to its feet. 1t was the old rebel
yell, heard upon hundred battle
fields and never to be forgotten. A
deep silence followed. All eyes were
turned toward the outer circle. Then
Judge Roney's cold voice was heard
bidding the Sheriff to arrest the often
der. A man was seen lodging through
the crowd, and the Judge continued
1.-THE man who is leaving is probably
the one wanted"
"No, Judge" exclaimed voice
slowly, i am the man. The speaker
stood in the aisle with folded arms,
quietly contemplating the bench.
/" l shall have to fine you $40, then,
for disturbing the court"
Every well, your honor, will pay
the money" said the man, without
moving, "but meant no disrespect.
was Confederate soldier at Gettys
burg, and just could not help from
hollering."
The ladies present sprang to their
feet, and in an instant the money was
made up and paid to the clerk. Tie
involuntary yell of the old soldier was
an irresistible tribute to womanhoOd.
Had the fine been ten times as large
he would not have suffered.

"What beautiful bridge between old age

ton, in his " Strange Story
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge Of life has many high and awful arches,
through which these waters dash and roar In

alone do not sustain these. Natures solid

art and skill must rear and solidify the struc-

CURE FOR Piles.

I Piles are frequently preceded By a sense

WASHINGTON SPRINGS. Dec. Ia, 1883.
ED. ~Posr::-Wessington Springs is
situated at the foot of Washington Hills
south of the Northwestern railway
running to Pierre, Oak. These hills
embrace the best agricultural and graz
ing lands have seen in Southern Da-
kota. They are free from the slightest
trace of alkali, so far as Icould discover
and pure, good water is accessible at a
depth of from fifteen to twenty feet.
They are about six miles wide and
twenty in length. The Rec Hills and
other ranges of hills are, [ am told, sim
liar in character. Sheep, cattle and
horses thrive on these hills the year
around with little extra feed in winter.
The washington springs are four in
number. Soft and hard water are
found here; and, then, there isa spring
here strongly ihipregnated with iron;
another with magnesia, anu still an
other with sulphur. They have al
ready become celebrated for theirhealth-
giving properties, and are sotght by
many In pursuit of health.
The village is situated on a gentle
swell of land near the springs, and is
supplied with water from aspiring of
hard water that takes it's rise at the
foot Of the hills. The town of Wass-
ington Springs is a pretty little burg of
some dozen buildings. 1t has a fine
hotel costing $1,000, which is well kept
by Tarblt Il Woodburn. Mr.. Tarble
is a native Of the Green Mountain
State, and is one ct the most popular
landlords [ have seeni
There is little government land in
this part ofthe territory. Mud "shacks'
every where dot the horizon, interspers-
ed with many made of lumber. There
are few real substantial Improvements
made here as yet, and really no founda-
ton for the fabulous prices at which
some of the claims are sold. Some are
sold at from one thousand to fifteen
hundred dollars for a quarter section
with nothing but a sod shack" and a
few acres of breaking, There IS very
little timber in this part of Dakota: the
water often contains alkaliIot other de-
leterious substances, and I can imagine
no life more cheerless and desclate than
one for many years to come on these
prairles. Let those who have every
thing to gain come, but let those who
are we'll off at nome stay there. They
are sui to be disappointed if they come
to these ,reeless and almost waterless
prairies. More money PERHAPS can be
made here, ESPECIALLY while the 'boom''
continues. but they should know that
it is a ''boom" made up Of lies 50 bare
