TitE BLACK HILLS.1

It may be that anything any one might say as to tbe folly of rushing to the Black Hills alter gold, without any more light on the subject, would convince no single adventurer of his folly, or dispossess any emigrant of his beliel in the extent and the richness of the new Eldorado but however the result may be, the proapeet certainly looks gloomy and unpromising to all who are lost on tbe eve of arl intemperate and W-oontidered rash to the imaginative goldmines.

Who knows that gala exists in the Black Hills in paying quantities? What is the nature of the evidence thus far adduced to prove any of the wild storiea afloat true or even reasonable? Outfitting towns in the west, and towns upon the probable routes of travel are busy in manufacturing extraordinary ac counts of the ricfiness and extent of the geld deposits, but every -line of information so far pabliahed consists of hear say evidence or sensational newspaper storiea and interviews. More real and tangible facts were sent back concerning the gold discovered at Pike's Peak on Cherry Creek, oh the Gila river, on Frazfer river, in Arizona but the inex

end to all was suffering, misery,

privation, or death. Here and there ceimin reported returning miners from the Black Hills got back to Sioux City, Cheyenne, Fort Dodge or Qmaha, with gold In bottlea or butfc-lkin pouohei, and straightway the cry raised of 4 world of gold in a land of beauty and delight That was enough, and the tide has begun to rise. It is too late to check it, of course, in any degree, but it is not too late to say to all who may be reached that when the worst has come to tbe v^orst perhaps, they will find out that all that glitters is net gold.

USQLEOLOQ Y.

Elsewhoro we print from the Express a very full description of the exhibition given of so-called "mind-reading," by Mr. J. R. Brown, at Dowling Hall, Wednesday evening. In our opinion it is nothing more than "muscle reading." It will be observed that all tbe experi ments are of the same nature—the subject involuntarily leading him to a secreted objeet. Mr. Brown has caused quite a sensation of late, throughout the country. Recently, in Philadelphia, while scientific and professional men were puzzling their brains over his wonderful tests, some doubting, bwe believing and all wondering,* Mr. Whitehouse, an unpretending citizen stepped into the arena, and after performing very successfully most of Brown's experiments, snapped bis fingers at the idea of its being "mind reading" in any sense of the term, and boldly declared it to be nothing more than an ability to detect the slightest movement of the muscles, which, directed by tbe will of tbe subject, involuntarily pressed both towards the object hidden. Brown'a theory of "mind reading," Mr. Whitehouse contends, is effectively disposed of by Ms Inability to detect a real or imaginary pain in the hand of the subject held him while experimenting, and by his public admission that if patient and operator were botb blindfolded, ltwould be impossible to And any object, however intently tho mind of the subjeot might be Axed upon iLjs

We remember years ago that us boys used to do this same trick, but never thought of terming it mind reading. As a newly discovered science, it should mote properly be termed, as at the head of this article "mosoleolegyi"

Tea worst feature of these labor strikes, andono that is not sufficiently dwelt upon, is the deterrent efltect upon men who would otherwise pat large capItala into manolkettiring. The war with labor la now the most Important element of risk to be taken into account in planning a manufacturing venture, the other chances of tiade, and accidents of ftn, wind, and weather, falling ciear intotha background. So, while tbe laborers get nothing, in one cam out or a thousand, for their strike, they indirectly causo a very serious redaction in tbo total amount of work, to the grave litfnry of tbe country, tbo working claaa, and all other clause.

NEWSPAPER men are proverbial for slinging around their wealth. Robert Bonner has just given one hnudred thousand dollars to Rev. Dr. John Hall's new church, in New York.

THE eastern papers complain that country merchants are only buying "from band to mouth." That is not true Of our merchants. Never before were their stocks more full, and never before were they more hopeful of a good trade.

PHILOSOPHERS and scientists, familiar with solar phenomena, last year predicted a cold summer for the year 1876. If the spring is any indication of the character of the season, it will not do to put away furs in camphor and snuff, or put the overcoat in the upstairs closet.

ILLINOIS has one of the very bestlnstitutions for feeble minded children that the United States affords. It is to the credit of the late legislature that it passed the appropriation bill for this institution without a dissenting voice. The bill gives, for this purpose, $176,000 for anew building and ?10,000 for land.

IN New York rates of interest are very low now.

IK a temperance address at his Hippodrome in Philadelphia, Barnum said: I will undertake, and give bonds for the fulfillment of the contract, that if the city of Philadelphia will stop selling liquor and give me as much as was expended here for liquor last year, to tun the city next year, I will pay all the city expensee no person living within her borders shall pay taxes there shall be no insurance on property a good dress Mbd suit shall be given to every poor boy, girl, man and woman aU tbe educational expenses shall be paid a barrel of flour shall be giveu to every needy and worthy person and I will clear a half million Or a million dollars myself by the operation."

A cuheb&s concatenation of cdlctonstanoes has recently transpired in England, showing the dangers that environ the seeker of connubial bliss. That a simple question of temperance should be tbo cause of the destruction of the happiness of "two souls with but a single thought*" 1* iriost lamentable/ ft seems that Mr. Hurst was a man of unswerving temperanoe principles, of so ultra nod unbending a character as to lead Mm into the extrem|s of teetotal ism. Miss Wynne had beln accustomed 1o her brown flout at dinner. Mr. Horst and. Miss Wynne were engaged to be married. Mr. Hurst's conscience prompted him to question the |»opr!ety of marrying the stout bibber unless she would abjure the use of her favorite beverage. To *hu purpose he demanded that she sign the pledge but Miss Wynne refused to giro up a long established habit, and Hurst broke the engagement and came no more. She sought revenge in

by action in court, and after a

full knowledge of the facts a verdict waa given for the plaintiff Of "7ft, and costs."

IDSFWORTH DIXOX, in his "New America," sketches a most charming pair of young Americans whom he haa motj, conquering a home from very cuity materials, amidst tbe uiost discouraging difficultiea. The man is a squatter on a of forest land, which he has redeemed from loneliness. Yet all is comfort, without a sign of poverty. Ha says: "Walk up thia garden-way, through these naat little beds of fruit trees, herbs and flowers. This path might lead to a gentleman's villa, for the road is wide and swept, and neither sink nor cesspool, as in Europe, ofiends eye. Things appear to have Wton in their proper place* The shed, if rough, is strong and snug, a rose, a japonica, a Virginia creeper, climbing round Uw door. Inside the house i« so eerupuk»uely clean that you might eat your lunch

gentlo-HJfe Is about your in ttur mtle parlor there area vase of flowers, apri]#r a bust of Washington. Yo'u see at oi gltpv* that there is a bright and whole* aopm woman in this bouse. Annie Smith is the^typeofa cUfce of women found in America-and in some parts of England—but nowhere else. In station she is little above a peasant in feeling she la little below a lady. She baa a, thousand tasks to perfcrnv-to light her fires, to wash and dress her children, to scrub ber floor, toiSefc her «ud fowls, to milk her cows, jtnig^b in herbs and frui^, to dress and cook the dinners, to scour and polish her pails and pans, to chura her butter and press her cheese, to make and mend the clothes but she laughs and sings through these daily toils with such a gay humor,auch a perfect tastj, such an easy compliance, that her work seems like pleasure and her care like pastime. She is neatly dressed, beyond, as an Englishman might think, her station in iife were it not that she wears her clothes with a perfect grace." It is matter for rejoicing that the keen English observer saw such women in America. May we long have plenty of them for him and tbe rest of the world to see.

DR. GARDNER, the author of some noted English medical works, and more recently of a practical book for tbe masses, on longevity, gives in its pagSi some advice to old persona, of which the following is a specimen: "Secure mental tranquility and avoid anxiety. Sobriety is most congenial to long life, bat a judicious use of wine or malt liquors is certainly beneficial to age. Old persons require a diet containing most nutrition in tbe least bulk, and meals should be small and frequent. Nothing is so fetal to old people as cold their dwellings must therefore be well dhdned and kept free item damp. Rooms should be heated up to 60®, night and day. Afire in bedrooms in spring, fell ana winter is also essential. Suitable clothing varying with tbe season should be worn. Beware of hot baths, ssys the dootor afoot or vapor bath, with friction, is best. Mild exercise in favorable weather. Such are tbe principle points claiming the attention of the aged."

Among tbe primary canses of disease Dr. Gardner places water with its impurities. Three pints of water are taken into the system, and when we examine tbe inner surface of the vessels in which common water is boiled snd observe the deposit found, we can form some idea of the bad effects of its injudicious use. Iron is the least injurious constituent found in water, but all the other earthly matters are injurious. No matter is really perfectly healthy but that which is distilled. Hot water in small quantities is recommended to old people as a digestive a little ginger or grated nutmeg may be added. Mineral waters and springs ate of course good in i, but their use is only advisable iif moderation, and old persons, he at hoi

BACK WINDOWS.

F^or discerning a uion's true oharacter, commend us to the rear of hia house. The front is a sham tbe rear alone is Sincere. At the street, the world beholcls a species of mask. The front is ornate and beautiful. The steps are polished and iuviting. The windows shihe like mirrors and the curtains are closely drawn. Here the most impertinent curiosity is rewarded with but an occasional gftmpse of the inmates.

But to us, who command tbe rear view, all masks are dropped. The house is rough aud unfinished. No attempts are made to beautify it. Its dingy walls, perforated with square holes of windows are as bare and ugly as the fancy can conceive. At these windows all the femilv economy reveals itself, while the

cats, and the accumulation of heaps of unheeded dust. Everything carelessly thrown out of the windows finds a resting place in the yard below. Newly washed linen flutters on the olothes line, and tbe smell of pleblan dinners floats up from the kitchen windows.

We see enter the front door Mamma and her daughter. They are delightfully affectionate, serene as May, and gushingas April. In the hall their wraps are hastily thrown off, when in Mam ma's eye appears the flrst^ flash of afire Papa knows so welL Half an hour

towel, is tearing around In the first story. A homely young person, in a faded calico wrapper, is peeling potatoes in the kitchen, and hurling a thousand threats, in a high key, at a small boy making mud-pies in tbe yard. Small boy retorts volubly and in elegant phrases, until the middle-aged lady descends into the fray with her back up.

At this juncture a man appears. A moment before he entered the front door. Tbe world saw him, a dignified, commanding gentleman, with that quiet assurance or gianner that indieates a man at t)6ace with mankind and himself. His hat and coat were faultless, bis gloves im maculate. Aa he opena the front door the sound of the fight reaches him, and his commanding carriage is left, with his hat and coal, on the bat rack. The man who appears at the kitchen door is an humble Individual in his shirt sleevSa and armed with a coal scutife.

How like a man's house are all his dealings with the world! The side the world gaces upon is beautifhl, and enrichedby a thousand touches by diplomatic phrases: by judicious smile* and sympathetic sighs Tby pretty littls Diiments, that mean nothing ore thing. It Sa a sort of marble front at t&reet, with flowoisat tbe windowa and tbe curtains drawn.

or everyktthe

We are so anxious that people should like us and think well of us. that we expend roost of our care in decorating this front. What b*re and ragged walla we often leave behind! Suppose all the world were suddenly permitted to view nnr back windows, would people ksow us?

In speaking to an acquaintance, we praise him ant judiciously flatter him, until be leaves us assured of our high estimate of his character, and more at peace with himself could he but have that*ther view of ue! Tbe family oi good opiniona he saw so serenely enter the front door, appear at the back disguised beyond recognition. In the yard Ue malicious *poeehee,and a little inuendoee, and heaps of indescribable staff compose of winks, and soda, and smiles.
