Correspondence OF the Iimes.l
July 12.-The prospect for corn is
very gloomy in all this section. The
low lands and level surfaces, having too
much water to be plowed. are covered
with grass and weeds, and Ia many
cases are given up. Complaints are
made. too. OF smut in the oat crop. On
the whole, the outlook u far from Ia
vOrable.
Mrs. Sallie Britain, a daughter OF
Bernard Todd. Esq. formerly Of Pc
tersburg. IS visiting Mrs. Or. Latane.
Dr.. and Mrs. b. III. Walker have been
much pleased at a visit from their
children and grandchildren from At
lauta and Florida.
Mrs. Thomas =. Bagby, of West Point,
has been visiting at Stevehsville.
Rev. +. b. Beale. Of Westmoreland.

will take charge of churches on this

Rev. W. T. IIuudley. Of South Caro-

Dom Piatt describes himself as one
of syndicate who wrote the Arthur
Richmond letters. As the Colonel ia
about TO bury himself ia the oblivion OF
his Ohio farm. this confession may be
looked upon as his last farewell 10 the
world. He can console himself with
the reflection that he has coined "a
phrase that will be quoted in newspa-
pers when the Arthur Richmond letters
have been forgotten Exchange.
REPUBLICAN s.-lntrigues Of
New jersey Republicans over their
State nominations are very interesting
TO political observers, because they
show the extent of dissensiOns among
the opponents Of the Democracy in the
State across the Hudson. But
whether the influence OF the absent
William Walter Phelps or If politicians
who have stayed at home prevail IN
the Republican Convention, or whether
the nominee of that party be Mr..
Kean, Of Elizabeth. or any other.
will make very little difference in
the end. The man the Repubh-
cans nominate, whoever he may bee.
is sure TO receive a handsome defeat
at the hands of Governor Albeit. Mr..
Young, or any other representative
Democrat selected by the party that has
long held the Governorship Of New
Jersey and has q safe mortgage on
both State officers and Legislature for
twenty years 10 come. -Er.

Law ones hand upon the newspaper

cultv would be TO find one that will not.
The public demand something more than
a mere mention, and the demand will
unquestionably be satisfied. But there
will be an indictment and prosecution
of one or more of the offending editors,
probably, to test the constitutionality
OF the law. A clause guaranteeing the
liberty OF the press against infringe

the first amendment yigilant

ADVERTISING THAT PAYS "A single

its highest priced column. These papers,
il is said, are never at loss for advertis-
ing to fill their columns. These figures
will doubtless be interesting to the man
who invests ten dollars and then Hat
ters himself with the idea that he is
extremely LIBERAL in advertising.

THE MILK IN THE cocoANUT. ;

Captain Gardner passed through town
yesterday en- route home from Butte
county, where he has been insuring
crops against hail in the Alliance COM
pany. That the company is popular
with farmers is evidenced by the fact
that the captains commissions amounted
to nearly $50 in ten days-Whitewood
Sentinel
If farmers will charge thisit up to
their expense account with others of a
like character, they will find at the end
of the season by striking balance that
the twine scarecrow was an insignificant
matterin comparison with whatiit has
cost them during the year to maintain
the alliance organization. The ADvER-
TIsER is friendly to any movement that
will promote, the farmer and laboring
classes, but experience has shown in
most instances that comparatively little
benefit has accrued from these organiza-
tiOnS

The Star fails to appreciate or see the
intense whitening sarcasm in the item
first mentioned. We intended it to be
SO biting and cutting in its character as
to make the republicans of this district
blush for very shame and go out behind
the barn and kick themselves. Up to
date we have seen but few who have
been troubled by their conscience, how
ever. Hereafter we will label all ironical
remarks in order that they may be justly
and properly appreciated and felt.

Another candidate for public favor has
just reached our office in the shape of
the Buffalo Gap Globe, a new weekly
paper owned and edited by Will H.
Stanley, formerly of the Hot Springs
Star. If the patronage of the paper
continues as it at present appears Will
will be millionaire in few years.
The first issue contained fifteen and a
half columns of displayed "ads' besides
liberal supply of locals. Wewish Will
the best of success and heartily welcome
him again to- the field journalistic of the
Black Hills. The Globe is a straight
and staunch republican organ.

The Champion Mule.

ALI Doten, in n communication to
the Virginia Enterprise, gives the
following description OF an outfit
which appeared ut tho recent State
Fair:
captain Joseph e. lie Blanc, better
known as Cap. White, OF Gold Hill,
was present with his famous black
mule "Jack"-his original namo was
Jackson, from his father being q
jack-and he Qho mulo) was quito n
feature among the outside flyers, es-
pccially going to or from tho races.
His pedigree, other than just stated,
is uncertain, and so also is his q
beyond the fifteen years that Captain
White has been his fortunate pro-
prietor. Nobody over saw such a
remarkable roadster and tho whole
outfit, mule, two wheeled cart and old
Cap. himself, constitute n peculiarly
noticeable figure in highway naviga-
ton. Years ago Jack's gait got set-
tiCbi Scb uib BhNlHCu W u b'luuTD lTOU
Of thirteen miles an hour, and no
never doviatos from it. IIe can't oven
slow down, but, like n locomotive, has
to keep that regular ratio OF speed as
long MS hc is charged with his regular
rations Of half n peck of soaked barley
aud n bucket of water. If ho had n
tonder along TO feed and wator him
no would never stop. Ho is all quiet
enough as long n he is ut tho hitch
ing post, but when his painter is cast
off md ho sees Cap. get aboard and
scttlod down in tho stern shoots with
tillcr ropes vol in hand, no just
swings his oars around, slanting for
wPrd like tho cat.hcads OF m old
fashioned Down East codiishing
smack, or Il Nova Scotia mackercl
catcher, and mcthodically strikes
right out OH that thirtccn-knot gait,
keeping the track like n locomotive,
and just ne regardless Of all other
vehicles or animals"

Voro loft hcro last Sunday night in

Il tino horse belonging to Il. T. Harris.
Wore went to Mountain City whcro
he got n man named Walker to nc.
company him. They arrived at tho
Duck Valley Reservation early Wed.
nesdny morning and stopped for
breakfast. They had been there
about an hour anl n halt when their
man rode In to have q shoe put on
his horse, ono having boon lost since
leaving Elko. After the slloo was ro.
placed and paid for Williams went
out Of tho shop, followed by his pur.
slicrs. After getting outside no said:
well, ] suppose you nrc oftcr mo for
horse stealing" Wore told him no was

prisoner he brought him and tho
horse back 10 Elko where no arrived
