A party of distinguished French
gentlemen consisting of Baron de
Grancey, Mons. Faure, and Mons.

The Chronicle.

With this issue The CHRONICLE begins
It's seventh volume. Tn the future as in
the past, it will be our chief aim to
make THE CHRONICLE a general dis
seminator of the news Of the day, and
our course in the past in the free dis
cussion ofa.l questions political or other
wise, without alliance with party clique
or faction will be strictly adhered to.
Our persistent efforts in fostering the
interests of this city and county, and
the Black Hills at large will be faith
fully continued, and fearless advocacy
of Clusters private rights will be earnest
ly maintained. While it has been TO
some extent thankless task to labor in
this field in the past, it is isgratifying for US
TO announce the appearance Of silver
lining taking form upon the margin of
the cloud which has marred our pros
perity, and we feel assured that our
patrons will tender US such substantial
encouragement IN the future as will
enable us to keep the CHRONICLE in the
front rank of western journals.

bringing one of the horses to his knees,
a second application brought him to

skilled in horse management instantly
appeared upon the scene, suggesting as
many methods by means of which order
might be brought out of the manifest

was entirely confident that his method,
that of tying his tail to the single tree
was infalible, which was finally adopted
by reason of the wonderful power Of his

all efforts upon the part of others to
make their methods understood. The
horses tail was accordingly made fast
to the single tree under Browns in

whereupon a scoop-shovel and broom

Custer City.

The healthiest place in the world is
Custer City, in the Black Hills of Dako-
ia, guess. Out Of Il population of 500
they don't average one death year.
There is no regular physician here, and
only one drug store, which is not a
profitable institution by any means.
The people are not only the healthiest,
apparently, on the face of the globe,
but they are as agreeable and cultivated
as any community in the whole free
west. The situation is charming and
picturesque to degree. The town site
comprises natural park, itself lying at
an altitude of 5,400 feet above the sea,
surrounded by the tall, pine-clad hills,
and abounding in the curious and inter
esting slate formations, which present
an even greater variety of shape than

the highest point in the Hills, lying a

On the west, few miles away, extends

vicinity are the Buckhcrn Mountains,
Calamity Peak, and small range of
bare hills, where even the hardy pine,
which grows so frequently ont Of the

Custer will then become a bus.ling
young city in fact. Its beautiful sur

its name-that of the gallant and we'll
beloved soldier who made the original
authoritative discovery Of gold in the
Black Hills-will all combine to render
Custer City point of rare promise and
attraction, in the new and early future
which awaits it.

UNION PRISONS.
A Lecture i'm the ssWar TaIks''
Course by Col. Davidson.

A Lecture i'm the ssWar Talks,
Course by Col. Davidson.
The lecture room of the Young Mems
Christian association was well filled by an
appreciative audience to hear Col. j. Ii.
Davidson's war talk" on Union Prisons.
He stated that in the spring of 1865 he was
ordered to prepare prison or pen for Cou-
federate prisoners on Crary island, in
Hampton roads. 1t was found unfit by the
government surveyors because of its exposed
position and slight elevation, hence he Sc
lected place on the beach near Newport
News and Fortress Monroe. A pen was
here constructed with one side open TO the
sea. Piles were driven out in the water to
a depth of twenty feet. The ironclad Roam
Oke was anchored short distance from the
water face, and her small boats patrolled
the front at night to prevent the escape of
prisoners. Before the fence was more than
half completed a transport arrived with
5000 Confederate prisoners. They were in
terrible condition, poorly clad and covered
with Vermin. Within thirty minutes after
being admitted to the pen they were
stripped and bathing in the clear
water, which was denied the fed
eral prisoners at Andersonville. The
sick were removed to hospital tents, sur
ge0nS were brought, also fresh meats and
ice from Fortress Monroe, and the prison
ers were provided with better and larger
tents than their guards. After other Incl
dents, he gave an intensely interesting mar
ration of the reception of the news of the
assassination of President Lincoln, and its
effect upon the colored troops, the white
and colored officers, and the prisoners. AS
the flag upon the staff in the center of the
pen was lowered to half mast, the prisoners
gathered in little knots, inquiring one of
another what it meant. Finally Young
man approached him, saluted, and asked if
he might inquire the cause. Upon being
informed he turned to his comrades and ex-
claimed, my God! Boys, this is the worst
thing that could have happened to us here"
Precautions had been taken, however, to
protect the prisoners, in case of an out
break. and no harm was done in any way,
nor was any manifestation other than that
of grief made by either prisoners or guards.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE congress of the
National Trotting association continued its
session to-day. Nearly the entire forenoon
session was consumed in a consideration of
the report of the secretary and treasurer.
some complaints having been put forward
by various members of delay in obtaining
an accounting of disputed moneys turned
over TO the secretary. John Splan was one
OF the cOmplainants, citing that he had been
compelled TO pay $3.50 over 10 the arbitra-
ton committee. and that it must have gone
into the sinking fund. Mr.. Bierman of
Indiana offered the following resolution:
Resolved. That a special meeting of the
congress of this association be held in Cleve-
land on the third Tuesday iU November, 1856,
and that the committee on investigation or
the secretary and treasurer report at this
meeting, and that 500 copies of such report
be printed. and mailed 10 each member at
least four weeks before said meeting.
After a sharp debate the resolution was
tabled. The committee appointed to
choose board of review for 1856 reported
through Gen. TiltOn. The following officers
were elected: president, James Grant of
Davenport; Gen. w. S. TiltOn of Maine.
first vice president; Edward Mortimer of
st. Louis, second vice president.
After reassembling. Mr.. Beaman of Iowa
moved the repeal of article 81,
which provides that the bylaws OF the as
ISOLATION can only be amended or repealed
by the vote of majority at two successive
congresses of the members, and amendment
of section three of article Is. so as to
provide for the election of the secretary and
treasurer by the congress instead of by the
board of review. Mr.. Edwards of New
jersey strongly championed the resolution.
An almost interminable debate ensued and
the resolution was laid upon the table.
The proposed changes in the trotting rules
were then taken up, each rule being consid-
cred separately, and several minor changes
were made. A committee of seven was ap-
pointed 10 revise the bylaws and report it
to the next congress. Adjourned to meet

the humorous to the pathetic that Mr..
Florence finds an opportunity to display the
finest points of his genius as an actor, and
