Monticei.I.o, June 1st, 1822 It is vcrv
long, my dear sir, sinco I havo written to
you. My uVloc.iteil wnt lun now became
so stifl' that I write slowly ami with pain,
ami therefore write as little as I can. Yet
it is due to m11tu.1l friendship to ask once in
a while how you do. Tlio papers tell us
that General Stark is oil' at the age of ninety-three,
till lives, at about the same age, cheerful,
lender as a grasshopper, and so much with
out memory that lie scarcely recognizes bis
own household. An intimate friend of bis
called on him not long since. It was dilli
cult to make him understand or recollect
who bo was, and sitting ono hour bo (old him
the same rtory four times over. Is this life '.'
with laboring steps
To tread our former footsteps? pace tho round
The beaten track to eu what
To t.T-te the tasted-o'er our palets descant
It is but inot the life of .1 cabbage, surely

have left or are leaving in one by one, sight,
hearing, memory, every avenue, of pleasing
sensation is closed, and , debility and
mal-aio lelt 111 their places; when the
friends of their youth aro all gone, and .1

I really think so. I have ever dreaded a
doting old age; and my health has been
generally mi gund that I dread it still.' Thu
rapid decline of my strength during the last
winter has mado mo hope some times that I
sco land. During summer, I enjoy its tem
perature, but I shudder at tho approach of
winter, and wi-h I could sleep through it
with the durmoiise, and only wake with him
in spring, if ever. They say that Stark
could ualk about bis room. I am told
you walk and firmly. I can only reach my
garden and that with sensible fatigue. I
ride however, daily ; but reading is my de
light. I should never wish to put my pen
to paper, and the moro because the treacher
ous practice souio people hare of publishing
one's letters without leave. Lord Mansfield
declared it a breach of trust, and punisha
ble at law. I think it should be a peniten
tiary felony ; yet you will see that they havo
drawn 1110 out of tho arena of tho newspa

to bucklo 011 tlio armor of youth, yet my in

receiro tho kick of an airs.
To turn to the hews of the day; it secerns

This pugnacious humor of mankind seems to

Tlio lll.uk Hills.
W1IEP.E TIIEV AI1E, AXI HOW THEY
THEM.
Probably no topic at present claims a
larger share of interest iu tho public mind
than the newly discovered region, known in
general terms as tbo Iilack Hills. Yet prob
ably, too, not ono in fivo hundred, if asked to
locate definitely by this much talked of re
gion, could do so with any accuracy. Wo
propose, therefore, first to tell our readers
WHF.l:!'. THE IlI.Af'K HILLS AI'.E.
They lie in Wyoming and D.tkotah, be
tween tlio 48d and nth degrees of latitude,
and occupy an area of about luO miles in
length, Northerly aud Southerly, and about
sixty miles iu breadth. Tho base is about
2,500 to .,,000 feet aboro tho sea level, and
tbo highest peaks do not exceed 7,000 feet
The Eastern boundary line of Wyoming,
10 1th parallel of longitude, runs about mid
way through tho hills. Tlio whole rango of
hills lie iu the forks of the Ujg Cheyenne
River, which is tho most important stream
in that region, and which pours itself into
tlio Missouri, Mime HO miles abovo l'ort
Pierre.
HOW THE ISI.At'K HILLS HAVE I1EEN 1IITH
Eltro l'.EACHEI).
From cither Kort Sully or Eoit Pierre, in
a due vct direction to tho Wyoming line,
which runs through tho centre of the hills
nearly, is a distance of 220 miles on an air
line Formerly there was .1 road from Fort
Pierre to Fort Laramie, over which military
and traders' stores wero freighted, and the
di-tance fixed at !!2o miles. Tho road neces
sarily pased over the bad lauds considerable
of tho distance. Any route followed from
tho Upper Missouri will encounter them. In
the summer the heat is inteiiso in tho coun
try between the Upper Missouri and the
lllack Hills, the gra-s is not good for stock,
and the water is strong alkaline. For the-c
facts, says tbo Cheyenne Leader, we are in
debted to perrons who have frequently pass
ed over the route during the past twenty-five
yeais, to officers of the army, and tothoofii
cial reports of Lieutenant G. K. Warren and
lircvet llrigadicr General W. F. Reynolds,
of the Topographical Engineers of the Unit
ed States Army, tho former of whom twice
explored the country iu KSo.j-il, and again in
1S57-S, and the latter iu lS.-ll-liO.
WHY CALLED 'HIE 1ILAIK HILLS.
The lllack Hills lake their name from tho
dark green appcaranco that tho magnificent
forests of pine, that cover their sides and top,
give to them. "I think it safe to say," says
Dr. Ilayden, in his geological report of their
exploration in ISo'l-CU, page 0, "that at least
one-third of this area, (estimated at 0,000
square miles by him,) or about 2,000 square
miles is covered with excellent pino timber,
or 1,280,000 acres, Now, the next question
arises, bow is this timber to be made availa
ble? At least four to six months iu the year
tbe-e streams ( Relic 1'ourche and South Fork
of Cheyenne) are quite high. Tho logs could
bo tut and transported to tbo sides of tho
streams during tho dry season, and when tho
streams are high in the Spring of tho year,
they could be taken down into tho Missouri
River with a good degreo of safety and ea-e.
"Tbo lllack Hills, which appear in the
di-tance, and derive their name from their
dark aud gloomy appearance, contain an in
cxbausliblo quantity of tlio finest limber,
mostly pine, which will doubtless remain un
distui bed for many years to come."
FF.I1TII.1 1 V,('I.IJI ATE AND J1INEP.AI. V.'EA LTII.
Tho fertility of the soil in the Iilack Hills
was noticed by Lieutenant Warren, in 185S,
Speaking of tlio valley in that region, bo
says in bis icportof that year: "In theso
mountain formations which border tbegrcat
plains of thu West, are to be found beauti
ful Mowing streams and small, rich valleys
covered orer with lino grass for liar, and
btisccptible of cultivation by means of irriga
tion, F1110 timber for tuel and lumber,
limestone and good stone for building pur
poses aro hero abundant, Gold has been
found in valuable quantities, and, without
doubt, tlio more common ami useltil miner'
als will bo discovered when moro minute ex
aminatioiis are made."
In tho same report, further 011, ho says :
"Tlio country furnishes tho means of raising
siillleient quantities of grain and vegetables
for the use of tho inhabitants, and beautiful,
healthv, and desirable locations for their
homes. Tho remarkable freedom from sick
ness is 0110 of tlio attractlvo features of tho
region, and will, iu this respect, go far to
recompense the settler from the Mississippi
valley for bis loss iu tho smaller amount o
products that can bo taken from tho soil.
The great want of stiltablo building materi
al, which now so seriously retards tho
growth of the Wet, will not bo felt here
HOW TO ItEAt'II THE BLACK HILLS,
Tlio route from Clipycniio Northward is
tho safest, speediest, cheapest and best to
reach tho lllack Hills. Clieycnno is at tlio
junction of two competing railroads from tho
East tho Union Pacific a ml Kansas Pacific.
It will be two days' railroad travel to Chey
eiine from Chicago or St. Louis.
From Cheyenne there are two routes to tho
Hills, Tho 0110 by way of Tort Laramie
Raw Hide Unites, Old Woman's Fork, and
Heaver Creek, is one hundred and eighty-two
miles. This route passes through a settled
country for a bunded miles or so. There is
now a istago Hue on it that tarries tho Unit'
cd States mail to ond from tho fort, nnd'aho
passengers at $10 npiccc.
The other route Is by way of Reel's ranch,
down Horso Creek to near its mouth, cross
ing tbo North Platto River nt Nick Janlso's
ranch, about thirty miles East of Fort Lara
mie, nnd thence in n Northerly direction
orer a good road Red Cloud Agency. This
rottto i.s also traveled by a stage line, which
carries tho mail and passengers from Chey
enne to Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Agen
cies. Tho faro to Red Cloud is $15, and tho
distanco from thero to tlio Ulack Hills ls
about fifty miles.
thh Firrinti: in stop.f. fop. that ueoion.
General W. F. Reynolds, who made a topo
graphical surrey of this region in 18.)9-fi0,
says : "Tlio whole region of tbo Black Hills
is unquestionably, nt no distant date, to af
ford homes for a thriving population. Tlio
mountains will furnish sufficient supply of
pine lumber for ordinary uses, and although
timber Is very scarco in tho region as a whole
(from Fort Pierro to tho Powder Hirer,) yet
tho lllack Hills will fully supply this great
deficiency in tho districts immediately ad
joining." His route from tho Missouri Rircr,
led him to tho lorks of tho llig Cheyenne,
and then he skirted tlio Northeast nnd South
sides of tho hills. Ho describes them in his
journal as a succession of mountain ranges
with beautiful valleys between, tho soil of
which is rich and fertil, aud covered with a
heavy growth of grass. Groves of ash, oak,
elm and other varieties of timber aro men
tioned as being met with, fringing the clear,
beautiful strcaVhs of water, purling down
from tbo bills into tbo Hello Fourchc. Be
tween tbo forks of Cltcyenno very decided
evidences of tho existence of gold were
found ; but prospecting was discouraged by
him on account of danger from the Indians,
and for fear of making tbo expeditions a
failure. "It was for theso reasons that the
search for gold was at alltimesAliscnuraged,"
ho says, "yet 'still it is often difficult to
restrain tlio disposition to 'prospect,' and
there wero moments when it was feared that
some of tho party would defy all restraint."
I'lico descriptions, and discoveries, lie it
remembered, of the Iilack Hills wero made
.sixteen or seventeen years ago, by reliable
army officers, whosoonly object was to nitiko
truthful reports of tho country, and were
made under manv disadvantages.
To Hail Spellers.
Under somo mysterious law of compensa
tions, which run through many of the trans
actions of life, tbo bad spellers aro to receive
their reward as well as they who won their
prizes at our recent spelling bees. The Pop
ular Science Monthly ono of- tho very best
of American periodicals quotes from Eliztir
Wright, who some years ago said: "Of an
other thing I have no doubt at all, to wit
that learning to spell is a discipline pernici
ous to good mental habits," and says "Tbo
pupil who should spell a word as reason dic
tates, would bo Hogged, or in some other way
disgraced, beforo tho school. On tho other
hand, tho pupil that can bring his mind
into the most perfect harmony with an irra
tional system, can go on perpetrating absurd
ities the longest without failing, wins prizes
aud applause." So the man who spelled
neighbor "nabor" may comfort himself with
tlio reflection that bo was possessed of a
more logical mind than the irrational being
who won theprizo by spelling psycbopaimy-chi-m
according to Webster. The Science
Monthly thinks that tolerable spelling Is an
inportaut thing, but that tho mind should
not be dwarfed or stupefied in order to gain

how Gnosr Sroitins OuifiiNATE. On
the wall over tho bed of a dying woman in
Cohoes, N. Y., a cross appeared. It besan
with .1 mere outline, deepened in color until
tho woman died, and then faded. She saw
it, and supersticiotisly regarded it as a pre
monition of death. The neighborhood was
intensely excited and hundreds went to see
the cross. At length 11 mattcr-of-fa'et news
paper reporter investigated and learucd that
leak iu tbo roof had let water into the
plastering, tbo discoloration taking tho sig
nificant shape by chance, and that when the
rain storm was over tho cross laded. It is
probablo that fright aggtivated the woman's
disease and killed her.
