TIE TELL-TALE HEART.

We give herewith the Tell-Tale Heart, the most wierd of Edgar Poe's stories:
 True !-nervous-very, very dreadfully nervous had been and ann but why will you say that am mad2
 The disease had sharpened my senses-not des- troyed-not dulled them.
 Above all was the sense of hearing acute. heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. heard many things in hell.
 How, then, am 1 mad2
 Hearken! and observe how healthiy-how calmly, can tell you the whole story.
 It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived it haunted me day and night
 Object there was none.
 Passion there was none.
 loved the old man. He had never wronged me He had never given me insult. For his gold had no desire.
 think it was his eyeI
 Yesl it was this
 One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture-a pale blue eye with film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold.
 And so by degrees-very gradually-I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself the eye forever.
 Now this is the point.
 You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely proceeded-with what caution with what foresight-with what dissimulation went to workl
 was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before killed him.
 And every night, about midnight, turned the latch of his door and opened it-oh, gently l And then, when had made an opening sufficient for my head, put in 6 dark lantern, all closed, closed, that light shone out, and then thrust in my head.
 Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly thrust it inl
 moved it very slowly-very, very slowly, so that might not disturb the old mans sleep. 1t took me an hour to place my head within the opening so far that could see him as he lay upon his bed.
 H4!-would madman have been SO wise as this? And then, when my head was we'll in the room, l undid the lantern cautiously-oh, cautiously (for the hinges creaked)- undid 1t just so much tht single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this did for seven long nights-every night just at midnight-but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work i; Evil Eye.
 And every morning, when the day broke, went boldly into the chamber and spoke courageously 10 him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquring how he had passed the night.
 50 you see he would have been a very profound old man indeed. to suspect that every night, just at twelve looked in upon him while he slept.
 Upon the eighth night was more than usually cautious in opening the door. A watch's minute hand moved more quickly than did mine
 Never before that night had felt the extent of my own powers-of my sagacity. l could scarcely contain my feelings of triumph. To think that there was, opening the door, little by little and he not even to dream of my secret deeds or thoughts
 fairly chuckled at the idea and perhaps he

ONE OF THE NEW STATES.
Something About South Dakota and Its Principal City--One of Its PIo- neers- M Magnifecnt Chances for
 Wealth Getting

In national affairs the year ls9 Is to be note worthy principally for the adm sslon into the Union of four new states. Of these states South Dakota has the largest population and possesses more claim to the right of self gov ernment than any of the others. Four years ago she adopted A state constitu ton. elected a full quota of state officers. two con nEressmen n. a legislature and two United states senA tora The state has therefore been for four years fully ready for a position In the rank of the slaterhood of states. Had Admiaslon been granted four years ago. the population would be st least 100 00 greater than it now is, and all material development would be propor. tionAtely advanced. But at IAst Admi ssion Is all but an accom- pli shed fact. and South Dakota wIll soon experience . boom almost equal to that of lSS3 when the railroads actually sus- pended the sAle of tickets to immi igrAnts In. deed, Ihe good effect of prospective admission has been felt for several months past There has not, tt Is true, been a great Tush of set. tiers. but never before has there been SO great an influx of investors. Capital is generally timid, and a territorial form of government has been considered too irrespons bie and in SC cure to be attractive as . neld for investment But the effcct of coming statehood has been to cause capitalists In large numbers to seek to place their wealth in South Dakota.
 Perhaps the city which above all others has fett the benefit of this changed condition of affairs Is SIOUX Falls. Al no period in the hts tory of the place have the real estate trAns fers been numerous or so large in amount The record for the nrst six months of the year was as follows
