..Neut.r Gender" IN Politics.

During the discussion preceding the
vote, on Edmond's resolution in the
Senate the other day, Senator Ingalls,
drew comical picture of the hybrid
creature known as Mugwump. He
said the neuter gender was not popular
either in nature or in science. male
and female created He them" But
where was the third sex Gf that could
''sex" be called which sex had none

caprice of Nature aud at others from
accident or malevolent design possess
ing the vices of both and the virtues
of neither; unable either to beget or
bear; possessing neither fecundity nor
virility; endowed with the contempt
of men and the derision of women
doomed to ster;lity, isolation and ex-
tinction. "But," said Mr.. ingalls,,
"they have two functions-they sing

usually selected as guardians of the
seraglios of Oriental despots." Re-

less discussion about baldheaded
American men. Wash your heads
thoroughly once a week with lather
of soar and water, rinse all the soap
out, and rub the scalp lively TIL II IS
dry. Never wear an unventilated hat,
ne hat at all when you can avoid 1t.
Wear straw hat instead ofsfelt when
ever possible. Give your scalp sun
light and air. Don't smoke too much.
Follow these directions and you will
never be baldheaded. Even If your
hair has begun to get thin it will re-

wear fur caps. It is the wearing OF
hot and unnatural head coverings that
makes the hair fall out. 1t quite

this: Nature meant your hair to keep
YOUR head warm, not fur caps or felt
hats. Felt hats and silk hats are an
abomination. These are the wretches
that make American men baldheaded.
1t is not their mighty intellects or their
excessively fine nervous systems. II
YOU render the hair superfiuous by
making hats do its duty for it. nature
takes it away. She will not tolerate
useless things.

The Custer CHRONICLE is informed
that it is the intention Of the Golden
Summit company to resume operations
on that property on the lst of February
Operations among stockholders will be
resumed a few days later in the nature
of an Observation-Disclosures.
The Times, true to its instincts, never
loses an opportunity to throw cold
water on mining enterprises not confin-
ed to the narrow limits of the belt, in
this instance assuring stockholders Of an
early assessment, and assurance based
entirely upon the desire for its &C.
complishment. Should an assessment,
be made, which is not at present indi.

The new telegraph enterprise that
has been engaging the attention of the
leading citizens OF Buffalo Gap, which
has for its object a Geographic connec-
ton with the Hot Springs and Custer,
seems to have awakened an interest in
Deadwood, which, considering the fact
Of that place not being included in the
list Of points named for connection, can
only be accounted for on the grounds OF
the supposed injury that Deadwood
would sustain by the building of the line
contemplated. We have failed to see
anything in the published proceedings
of the meetings called at the Gap to con-
slider the feasibility of the scheme that
would indicate n intention to extend
the line north Of Custer, which, taking
into consideration the fact of this place
having both telegraph and telephone
connection with all the principal points
in the Hills, would seem to be quite
sufficient to meet the present require
ments.

An article in a recent issue of the Gus.
ter CHRONICLE, in reply to a Deadwood
paper which alluded to mining failures
of the Central and Southern Hills, is
worthy Of close and careful p~erusal.
The writer, whoever he may be, strikes
the nail squarely upon the head when
he says Deadwood and "the belt" papers
should be the last to speak of mining
failures, as there are TO be seen on every
hand in the vicinity of Deadwood, Cen
trail and Lead City idle stamp mills, all
that remain TO tell ofmining enterprises
set on foot with great flourish of trum-
pets, and which proved failures. Such
monuments of erratic judgment are to
be found in all mining camps and dis
tricts. "The belt" has great mines, but
il has also it's poor ones. The Central
and Southern Hills probably have the
same. When the same close economy
of management and the same business
methods which have made the Home
stake famous the world over are applied
TO the development and working Of
mines in several Of the central and
southern districts, the Black Hills will
have more Homestakes and more Iron
Hills Ofthis there can be little doubt.
The Homestake ore could not be made

two miles and crushed in a twenty
stamp mill The ore of the Grand juno
ton aud other mines between French
and Elk creeks, embracing what is gen
orally known as the southern and CEN
trail districts, will pay and paw well when
worked as the HOmestake is worked

a vote Of 80 to %. Senator Voorhees, OF
Indiana being the only democrat voting
in the affirmative. in order for this
bill to become a law, it has to be sub
mitted to a vote Of the house of repre-
sentatives, and that favorable action be
given it bv that body is now generally
conceded to be a matter Of the gravest
doubt.

The enthusiastic letter which appears
in the Rapid City Daily Journal Of the
9Th inst. which purports to have been
written to an eastern friend bv one Of
Rapid City's visitors after a s~ojourn Of
but one day in that modern metropolis,
when fully considered in all its bearings,
cannot fail to impress the unbiased
reader Of its fishy character, and would
seem TO fully justify the belief that it
was but the outburst of enthusiasm
from n Of Rapid City's irrepressible
boomers. That one days sojourn in
Rapid City could thus e~nlighten a man
upon the distant surroundings seems
truly remarkable, and that at q single
glance from Hangman's hill he could
aoquaint himself with the Black Hills
country. it's great mineral and
vast wealth, all centering in Rapid City,
would seem to give to this very remark
able man rare powers Of determining
unseen situations, coupled with a more
extended vision than is commonly al
loted to man. That this astute tender
foot could not determine the fact while
perched On Hangman's hill, that Rapid
City was absolutely not in the Black
Hills at all, seems a paradox. This
letter fully establishes the fact, in our
minds, ofthe utter folly Of compromising
eastern correspondents for writing up
our Black Hills towns, while it is now
made SO glaringly apparent that the
thing a be done 81 !mpressively at
home.
