q. L. Wood is back from the Sioux
Falls Convention.
Mr.. A. w. Cobb, the owner of Byron
Sherman came in on Tuesday.
John L. Sullivan has been taken back
to Mississippi, on a requisition from
Governor Lowery, and will probably
learn that even champion sluggers are
alnenable to law.
A couple OF drunken fellows attracted
considerable attention on Wednesday
afternoon by running their team along
Mann street and yelling like a couple
OF Indians. A fine Of ten dollars and
cost would fit them.
The Black Hills Boot and Shoe Store,
recently opened at Sprando's old stand, on
Main Street, is devoted exclusively to that
trade, and will make better bargains than
can be found elsewhere and farnish a stock
to select from that is surpassed by none.

At a recent trial at %Cincinnatti, Ohio,
the wonderful three-year-old colt Axtell,
m Guy, who was the phenomenon Of
last year, were both speedcd with run
ming mates for the purpose OF lowering
their W records and both succeeded,
AXtell made the mile in 2:142a, Guy in
2.1OH.
The opening OF the great Sioux reser-
Vatlon is now assured. AS predicted in
last weeks issue, the obstinate chiefs
haggled and iockeyed, got in all the talk
and got out all the beef they could and
when they found that no better terms
would be given just tumblcd in to line in
true Indian fashion. The change came
one than was expected, as it did seem
that Tor once the Indians had struck an
attitude which they intended to main
tain for some little time, but inconsis-
tency and vaccillation are. their charac-
teristics and they have maintained
their record.
Acouple OF up gulch papers and a
number OF knowing people in this city
have asserted and inSinuated that I have
notsold the Democrat office, but simply
made adlop, as they say, to catch the
land notices. In answer to such and to
I'LL whom it may concern, i make this
statement and offer: S1S33 OF the
notes and county scrip paid by
MIR. Erdmnn to me, are on deposit in
the First National bank OF this city, for

The Great Paris Pawn Shops.

The annual report of the Board which
administers the m0nts-de piete, OF estab-
lishments at which money is lent upon
objects placed in pawn, is to the effect
that during the past year QSSS) 1,510,
$50 articles were pledged for sum Of
81 425, 357, and 7o0, ,3S4 objects pledged
anew for sum OF a945, 445. The num-
Der of objects sold was TT, ,415, and they
produced Il total OF about f1S0,000.
The greater part of the articles pledged
were for sums OF from six to ten francs,
and then came the article, edged for
from three to four francs. Only LII
Ter cent of the who'e amount lent was
in sums between f20 and $40, while the
proportion on p edges over E40 was hut
1.23 per cent. The Board of Directors
calculates that the total reduction to
persons who have pledged goods within
the last two years, brought about by the
gradual dim mutton of tine rate of inter
est, is at least IL 5000, and they propose
to obtain the sanction of the next French
Chamber to two other measures, one for
loans upon negotiable securities, which
will be of benefit to small investors and
the other for the reorganization of the
system of appraising the articles offered
in pledge. = London Times.

Queen Victoria's Crown.

Queen Victoria's crown, kept with
other royal regalia under strong guard
at the old Tower, and worn only on
State occasions, is one OF the most costly
insignias now in existence. To begin
with, there are twenty diamonds around
the circlet or head-band, each worth
81, 500, or $50, 900 for the set. Besides
these twenty there are two extra large
cen re diamonds, each valued mt $l0,-
600, making $4,000 more; fifty-four
smaller diamonds, placed at the angles
of the others, each valued at $500; four
crosses, each worth s60,G00, and com
posel of twenty-five diamonds; four
large diamonds ON top of crosses, each
having money value of $1,000; twelve
diamonds in the fieur- de-lis, $50, 900;
eighteen smaller diamonds contained i'll
the same, $40, 900; pearls diamonds and
rubies upon arches and circlets, not
mentioned before, $50, 1000; also forty
one small diamonds, formed in roses
and monograms, $25,000; twenty. six
diamonds in upper cross, $15, 800; two
circles of learls about the rim of the
head piece, $1,000 each. The total
money value Of this relic in any jeweler' s
market in the world would be at least
5000, 900, metal and all included.

A Limbless Politician.

Fl. Kavanagh, who is lying seriously
i'll in London, and who sas for many
years in Parliament for the County Of
Carlow, Ireland, was, says The Dundee
Advertiser, physically speaking, the
most extraordinary man that ever sat in
the House of Commons. We have had,
and still have, blind men in Parliament,
and deaf men are more common than
the constituents expect. Mr.. Kavanagh
had all his senses, but he was without
arms and legs. He had to be carried
into his seat in Parliament. He ad-
dressed the house always sitting, and
was allowed to vote without going into
the lobby. He was by no means a
silent member. He spoke frequently
on Irish questions, and sat ON quite a
number of select committees-a special
lift having been constructed to raise
him to the level of the corridor in which
the committee rooms are placed. He
was man of some mental vigor, but
his parliamen ary efforts were concen-
trated in the defense of Tory and land
lord ascendancy in Ireland.

Appalling Heresy.

The following anecdote, about ia
NOUS old character in Whitley County,
KY, is going the rounds. Joshua i ar
net was wag and religious or tor,
and possessed prodigious memory.
"Unc Josh, a. he was generally
called, had an appointment to preach
one Sunday at an out OF the way log
school-house III his neighbourhood, and
two noted lights of rival denomina.
tion attended the me ting for the pur.
pose of criticising the sermon. Cne was
named Jones, the other Warman. Uncle
Josh, who, it appears, was aware of
their intentions, concluded to checkmate
them, and instead of preaching ser
mon he began repeating from memory,
and without any comment whatever, one
of the Epistles Of ST. Paul /; for nearly
an hour chapter after chapter fell from
his lips, accompanied by grave and de-
corous gesture and intona ion. Brother
Jones, at the end of some thirty min
utes, arose with grave disapproval writ
ten all over his face, retired from the
house, and took seat in the yard upon
a bariless and PROSTATE tree which was
used as horse block. Brother War
man stood it some ten minutes longer,
when he, too, arose and joined Brother
Jones. We'll, Brother Warman, what
do YOU think of such q sermoni' said
Brother Jones. 'Think2' said Brother
Warman, why, I think that if the good
Lord will forgive me this time for listen
ing to such rotten doctrine, / will never
be guilty again.

Domestic Service.

In 1881 there were in the United King
dom 100000 seryan S; in 1881 their
number was cnly few over mi lion
and quarter. More sign ticant still is
the circumstance that while during the
decade lS71-Sl the general popu alton
increased by more than Ia per cent, the
ranks OF the domestic servants were re-
inforced by less than per cent. This
is not because the great households call
for fewer servants than they did in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centur es.
but is due solely to the propagation Of
democratic and socialistic ideas. The
majority of the domestics spring from
respectable mechanic and artizan homes,
which are the very centre of democratic
government 1t is interesting to notice
that like causes are producing like effects
in both Great Britain and the United
States. -[Good Housekeeping.

Manners of the Moors.

The manners of the Moors are, with
slight differences, those of the more CIV
ililed Arabs everywhere Their houses
are III the same style of architecture,
the gardens are the same, the CUISINE
SIMILAR with its staple dish of koussa,
and its scakes, fruit and confectionery.
The dress is that which is seen, with
tlivi i differences of fashion, through
out Northern Africa and in Arabia. The
Hebrew quarter is conspicuous feature
of all cities Morocco. 1t is surround
ed by wall, whose gates are closed at
s o'clock every evening. A certa IL cos
tune is obligatory to distinguish item
from the Mussulmans. They are al
ways Ii BILE to insult when seen in other
Gu rters. If IL Mohammelan boy sp is
in the face of an aged Hebrew or pulls
his hoary beard nothing is thought OF
it. Formerly they were obliged to 90
barefoot in tn streets, but now they are
permitted to wear slippers, which, how
ever, they are forced to remove when
they are before IL mosque. They must
never be III sight when the Sultan pas
ses. The use of arms is not permitted
them. They are only allowed to ride
on mules, and only then in the country,
while as to public positions it is hardly
necessary to say that they are never
thought of in that connection. Not
withstanding all this they are CONNER
cially active, very rich and engaged in
the most important enterprises. Their
complete emancipation will only be pos
sib'e, however, when Moro co falls en-
tirely under the domin on of one or sew
eral European powers. Francisco
