Imagine, if you VIII, vast and seemingly
endless plains, over which you may travel
even by rail for days without leaving them
and if by stage or wagon for weeks. Gently
undulating, like tidal swells upon a quiet
ocean. without tree or bush, the surface
greenish yellow, or golden brown, or duh
purple with sun cured grasses. The cool
air, cloudleSs sky TN September) and you
have Dakota-at least four-ffths of the whole
surface of ii. And this description applies not
only to Dakota but to the by far the largest
portion OF our northwestern territory out
side the mountain regions This boundless
prairie averages above the sea about 1000
feet It's drainage and that Of the mountains
behind it is by the Missouri, which flows
southeasterly fully 1000 miles within Da-
kota. The Big Cheyenne, made up of two
forks, one taking the water shed of the Black
Hills of the north and west and the other
from the south and east, forms the principal
afiuent of the Missouri river in Dakota All
these waters are clay colored and roily from
fine clays held in suspension.
This great plain region of Dakota is wholly
made up of level strata of vast deposits of
the chalk and other periods, formed when
great inland sea covered this and other like
regions of the northwest. After the drainage
of this sea its bed has since been cut through
by the Missouri, the Cheyenne and other
rivers, deep into the level strata, showing,
where you look from the top of the bluffs
bounding the rivers, thread Of dull yellow
water, finding its winding way, perhaps
hundred feet or more below you, through
food plain of shifting sand and clay, which
varies from half q mile to five miles wide be-
tween the bluffs This food plain at high
water is covered many feet deep, but at this
season is dry and irregularly covered with
cottonwood poplars, aspen ike in their silver
and bright green leaves. The descent to the
food plains may be bold or gently sloping.
Here and there ct frequent intervals the
water shed of the plains finds its way to the
rivers by gentle sloping valley or draw, as
It is called, down which teams and loaded
wagons can easily follow.

A LITTLE SIGNIFICANT.

1t is noted with deep regret that Presi-
dent Harrison failed to indicate fnan-
cial policy in his late inaugural address.
While he talked on pretty much every
other public topic he was strangely
silent on the silver question. All men
OF ordinary discernment realize that the
silver problem is the greatest which con-
fronts the people of this country in the
present generation. It is the one over
shadowing issue of the day. Upon the
fair treatment of silver depends almost
wholly the future prosperity of this
country. contraction of the volume
of the peoples money cannot be longer
tolerated. It is sure to bring panic and
ruin and financial chaos. II President
Harrison is wise he will promptly ex-
tend helping hand to silver. Should
he full to do 80 his administration will
rs surely Drove dismal failure. The
fall and complete restoration of silver
il the sole issue upon which he can
achieve a success as brilliant as it would
be j1st to the people and the business
interests OF the country. But We con.
TESS tnat the outlook is not bright.
The new Presidents silence on the
grentest of living themes is not calcu
lated to inspire hope. He that is not
for US is against US. Mr.. Cleveland
mad the courage to proclaim against US.

successful, although at first most Of us
doubted his powers. / have tested
him in every possible way, and he has
never failed. No one Whereabouts
doubts his powers. The vicar was
perhaps the most incredulous, until he
had tested the man thoroughly, what
convinced him most being that when
Mullens was asked to find water in his
flower garden he set out accurately
the running sewer from his house for
a long distance-not a trace of which
was discernible above ground, and
which no one knew but the vicar. He
did other work of the same kind at the
mansion here, finding an old disused
sewer, the existence Of which was susA
pected, but although searched for
could not be found.
He has been employed, I believe. on
similar duties by the London authori>
ties. He discovered our water tnains
and branches here wherever he crossed
them in the course Of his journeys.
greatly to the surprise of an engineer
from Sheffield who constructed our
reservoirs, and who followed John
"afar off, for several days. The same
engineer afterward confessed to the
writer that he was puzzled; but he ad-
mitted the mans powers. Mullens
used the hazel and thorn "twig" only.
No member of his family has the gift"
hence every thing has to be done by
himself. He asks no assistance
save "twig," cut close by, and a lad
to follow behind and put peg in
where he makes a mark with his heel.
He charges his fare and a modest fee,
and is willing to submit to any reason
able test. He does not profess to ex-
plain his power. knows little or moth
ing aboutNscience and is rather litter
ate. Not few large breweries and
manufacturers owe their water supply
to him. He does not profess to find
still water; it must be running. In
the case of the water mains here the
"twig" turned up above the pipe in
the field, woods and highways, where
no sign of the ground having been dis
turbed appeared, the pipes having
been long down, and no one knowing
any thing about their whereabouts but
the waterman, who depends on the
map when he looks.
Mullens says ''twig" from a vari-
ETY. of trees will do, but the hawthorn
and hazel are the most active; and the
way the point whirls around in mo-
mont above water is marvellous. The
''twig' is Y-shaped; and the man,
holding a leg firmly in each hand and
the point downward, steps slowly for
ward, STOPPING. On one occasion /
held one end of the "twig," where it
projected through his hand, the vicar
holding the other end, both firmly,
Mullens simply holding it. but with
out the power to move it up or down,
yet it whirled round as before, except
where we held it. aud consequently

force it exercised. Chambers Jour-
