Oirealation LARGER than any other
Paper in the Juniata Valley .
GEN. DICK TAYLOR, of ei.niederatt
fame, and only eon of the late President
Zachary Taylor, died in New York city on
Saturday last.
THE Call's reply to our squib about the
unnecessary reduction in the price of
whisky, on the occasion of Grant's recep
tion, is as clear as mud.
THE Pittsburgh riot bill was killed on
Wednesday last, by a vote of. 98 to 101.
Mr. Doyle voted for the bill, while the
name of Mr. Foust does not appear on the
record.
ON Monday morning, while the Czar of
Russia was out enjoying his daily walk,
near the palace, four shots were fired at
him. He was unharmed, and the man
who fired the shots was arrested.
HON. STOCHETT MATTHEWS, of Balti
more, whose eloquence in behalf of Repub
nein principles has been heard in our
town, has been nominated to the Senate
for confirmation as United States District
Judge for Maryland.
UPON opening the grave containing the
remains of Benj. Singerly, who died and
was buried in Pittsburgh - , about two years
ago, the body was found perfectly petrified,
presenting the appearance of yellow marble.
The body is represented as weighing over
nine hundred pounds.
SENATOR BLAINE made a telling speech
in the Senate, on Monday last, on the
array bill. He poured hot shot into the
ranks of the rebel brigadiers, and showed
clearly that their cry of "soldiers at the
polls" was all bosh. "Coffee-pot Wallace"
made a sickly reply.
THE members of the Union League of
Philadelphia, gave Gov. Hoyt a brilliant
reception on• Tuesday night at their club
rooms, South Broad street. The large
building was handsomely decorated, inside
and out, with flags and gas jets. The
banquet is said to have been one of the
finest ever given by the League.
FROM reliable information eithered by
Government detectives, it is stated that
Southern merchants have cr.mbined to
exact double and treble prices for the cone
mosest necessaries of life from the colored
people of that region. This plan of sys
tematic robbery, it is alleged, has much to
do with the exodus of the colored popula
tion from the South.
SPEAKER RANDALL announced his com
mittees on Friday last, and we find that
Hon. H. G. Fisher has been placed on two
of them, those of Railways and Canals and
Coinage, Weights and Measures. The
Southern men get the chairmanship of
twenty six committees, just one half; but
all the leading committees are in the c.,n
trol of Southerners, and the legislation of
the country will be bhaped by these
pardoned rebels.
SENATOR HILL, of Georgia, is in favor
of calling things by their right name, as
is proved, the other day, in the debate on
the admission of Charles H. Bell, as a Sen
ator from New Hampshire, when he said,
"if the Governor of New Hampshire has
the power to fill a vacancy in the Confed
erate Senate," etc. If President Hayes
were only out of the way these Confed
erates would soon make laws to suit them
selveswhen rebel war claims would be paid,
rebel soldiers pensioned, and rebel money
made as good as gold.
THE rebels think they see "a nigger in
the woodpile," and are becoming terribly
alarmed at the large number of colored
people who are leaving the Gulf States for
the North. They say now that it is a Re
publican scheme to populate doubtful
Northern States with a sufficient number
of colored voters to preclude the possibility
of their being carried by the Democrats at
the next Presidential election The rebels
will not permit these people to vote in tile
South, and we see no good reason why
they should not be brought North to as
sist in keeping the Government from
into the hands of its enemies.
AS AN evidence of the revival of busi•
news, the transactions at the Philadelphia
Custom-house for March should be con
sidered satisfactory. Daring that month
the receipts amounted to $1,07'7,808 nearly
$50,000 more than in March 1876 when
many goods were passing through the
Customs for exhibition at the Centennial.
In noticing this agreeable fact the higit;rer
remarks: "There is no longer any doubt
that the tide of trade has fairly turned.
For five years it ebbed and ebbed until it
really seemed as though we should never.
never get afloat again. Then came slack
water, and now the waves of prosperily
have begun to flow in, and in a little while
all our enterprises, which have so long
been stranded, will be afloat again."
ON Tuesday of this week a cyclone
struck the town of Collinsville, Mo., de
stroying a large number of houses and
injuring a number of persons. Fences,
Oink sidewalks, trees, outhouses and sta
bles were blown to pieces or carried away,
and gardens and grounds were ruined ;
The cyclone, as usual, was rotary in its
motion, and struck and bounded from the
earth three times during its passage
through the town. Its width was only
from sixty to eighty feet. One of the evi
dences of its force was the picking up of a
horse and buggy, which were carried at a
height of twenty to thirty feet a distance
of about fifteen rods and dashed to the
earth, the horse being crushed to a jelly
and the wagon to splinters. The ceme
tery, just outside the town, was laid waste,
nearly every tombstone being level,d to
the ground. The storm disappeared in
the east, and there are reports that it did
damage elsewhere, but they are not con
firmed. The total damage ip
is estimated at $50,000.

Mr. Blackburn is a representative South
ern man—a good Democrat—an ordinary
statesman—an outsp)ken politician, and a
brave man in the sense of indiscretion and
bullying impudence. lle can be taken at
his word when be speaks of what the South
wants and intends to do.
Now, what were the war measures which
the Republican party put into shape in
the organic law and the Federal statutes ?
First. That slavery should forever cease
as an institution in the States of the
American Union.
Second. That the freedmen arc made
equal before the law, and that there shall
be no political disqualification. for race or
color.
Third. That not a dollar of the debt
incurred in the war to dissolve the Union
shall ever be paid by assessing the Ameri.
can people.
Fourth. That the principal and interest
of the debt contracted by the Government
to suppress the slaveholders rebellion shall
be paid in legal money of the United
States.
These are the war measures which are
now imbedded in the organic law and the
statutes of the nation. Every American
citizen understands thew. As a leader
of the Democratic party, an organ which
is regarded as authority, one of the dicta
tors who shapes Democratic Congressional
caucuses, Representative Blackburn, of
Kentucky, announced in Congress that the
Democratic party does not intend to rest
satisfied until it has stricken the last vestige
of these war measures from the statute
books. It is the crack of the old familiar
lash, and we cordially accept the i , sue.—

MONTANA RANCH. RAPID CITY, D. T., 1
April Bth, 1879. f
It is both smiling and lovely, this valley of
Rapid, with its river of clear sparkling water,
its rich bottom lands, and long stretches of
rolling prairie, which constitute a back ground
for a picture unsurpassed in its pastoral
beauty and perhaps unequaled in this favored
section. The river is well stocked with cat
fish, mountain suckers, buffalo fish, pike,
white fish. etc. It is one of the best we know
of for rod-and-line fishing, as there are plenty
of deep holes and ripples. The sportsman
will also find lots of Fick rabbits, grouse,
ducks and geese in the valley. Antelope are
still numerous on the prairies at either side,
and there are black-tail deer, mountain sheep
and elk in the font hills, but the latter are
getting scarce. There is not much timber
growing in the valley at present, but there is
sufficient evidence that it has been well wood
ed at one time. We and others have discov
ered lots of decayed roots, when digging for
other purposes. It seems that prairie fires
have destroyed the timber at some former time.
It is easy to grow timber along the river
banks, where it will have plenty of moisture,
and especially on islands which would other
wise be waste laud. We have not analyzed
the soil, but we know that the farmer cannot
desire better. It is easy to irrigate land here
as the river has a rapid fall, such as its name
•implies, and the banks on either side are very
low. The average width of the valley is two
miles, consequently one mile on either side of
the river can be watered. The valley at the
present is only settled up tolhis point, that is
seven and a half miles from Rapid city. The
land for six and a half miles further down, is
better, if that were possible, but from four
teen miles below Rapid until the Cheyenne is
reached, that is for about sixteen miles, the
average width of the valley is one mile. But
some splendid homesteads can be taken up
there, and there is a good deal of timber on
the creek.
"I trembled and something came o'er me,
That saddened the joy of my mind."
Yes, it is a cause of sadness to think of the
famine-pinched thousands who reside in the
large cities of our land—of the number that
have been driven to commit crime through
lack of employment—of the army of tramps
which infest the country like a plague—of
the delicate women and girls, whose lot is
worse than slavery, who burn the midnight
oil dress making, etc., that they might keep
body and soul together. It is a matter of sur
prise that such a state of things should exist
in this enlightened nineteenth century, while
there are millions of acres of unoccupied
lands, while there are lovely, healthy valleys,
like this of Rapid, capable of supporting
thousands of happy and prosperous families.
1 call now see a herd of Antelope on the
hank of the stream, one mile from the ranch.
They have come to slake their thiist in its
crystal waters. Something has frightened
them ; they are off, bounding over the prairie ;
they gain the edge of the bluffs, they stop
and look back ; now they are grazing. The
cause: of their fright, whatever it was, no
longer exists ; they are free. How different it
is with the poor hollow-eyed seamstress of
the tenement house ! If she is pinched with
hunger,if she gets insulted by the vultures
of society, she cannot run away. . She has
perhaps to support a sickly mother, and
younger brother and sister. If she goes away
what will become of them. The time is not
far distant when this, our valley of Rapid,
o ill nurture thousands of delicate and beau
tiful American girls, who will be as free as
the Antelope that now skips over the plains
who will not be pale and hollow-eyed like
the poor worn-out seamstress—who will have
the health and rosy cheeks that riverside
drives and o:tr clear, bracing atmoasphere alone
can give. In my next letter I will endeavor
to describe the mineral resources of the Black
Hills.
ADDITIONAL LOCALS
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE ?—We were in
formed on Monday last, that last week's issue
of the JOURNAL had not reached a single post
office in Trough Creek Valley. Who it; res
ponsible for this state of things ? The papers
for the Trough Creek region leave the maiu
line at Mill Creek, where, we are inclined to
think, the trouble lies. The papers were mail
ed at this place in due time, and their non
arrival is due to carelessness of some person
in the employ of the Government who should
at once resign a position they have proven
themselves unfit to fill. Publishers are power
less to remedy this evil, but we think the
Post Office Department should see that none
tint competent persons occupy such import
ant trusts.
LECTURE.—The Rev. Henry Baker, of
Altoona, will deliver a lecture in the Lutheran
Church of this place, on Monday evening next.
His subject will be "Travels in Europe."• No
words of recommendation are necessary to

respected in our community, a good house.
Proceeds for the benefit of the Lutheran
church. Admission 25 cents. Children under
15, 10 cents. Doors open at 7:30. Lecture
begins at 8.
DIRECTORS ELECiED.—At a meeting:
of the stockholders in W. W. Gary's electric
inventions, held on Saturday evening last,
the following gentlemen were elected direc
tors: W. W. Gary, Hon. Alex. Port, John A.
Paul, G. B. Hotchkin, Wm. Lewis and J. 11‘11
Musser. A committee, consisting of David
Blair, G. B. Armitage, J. Hall Musser, S. E.

A Disease that Wrecks the System.
Every function is deranged, every nerve
unstrung, every muscle and fiber weakened by
fever and ague. It is, in fact, a disease which
if unchecked, eventually wrecks the system.
In all its types, in every phase, it is dangerous,
destructive. Stupor, delirium, convulsions,
often attend it, and cause swift dissolution.
But when combatted with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters its foothold in the system is dislodged
and every vestige of it eradicated. That
benign anti febrile specific and preventitive of
the dreaded scourge is recognized not only
within our own boundaries, but in tropic
lands far beyond them, where. intermittents
and remittents are tearfully prevalent, to be a
sure antidote to the malarial poison and a
reliable means of overcoming disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowelr_:, of which a vitiated
torrid atmosphere and brackish miasm•t
tainted water arc extiemely provocative. All
emigrants and travelers should be supplied
with it. [apr.4-Im.

SUFFICIENT JUSTIFICATION.—The al.
most universal practice among dairymen, of
coloring all winter-made butter intended for
market, sufficiently justifies the firmer in use
ing the best color he can get. The Perfected
Butter Color of Wells, Richardson k Co., Bur
lington, Vt., is the purest and ; at Lthe
World's Dairy Fair it received the iitcriia-
Vonal Diploma. Privggists keep it.
The Great Discovery
E. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron. For
the cure of weak stomach, general debility,
indigestion, disease of the nervous system,
constipation, acidity of the stomach, and all
cases requiring atonic.
_ _
The wine inclnde . s the most agreeable and
efficient Salt of [ton we possess. Citrate of
Magnetic Oxide, combined with the most
energetic of vegetable tonics—Yellow Peruvi
an Bark.
The effect in many cases of debility, loss of
appetite, and general prostration, of an efficient
Salt of Iron combined with valuable Nerve
tonic is most happy. It augments the appetite,
raises the pulse, takes of muscular flabbiness,
removes the palor of debility, and gives a
florid vigor to the countenance

Do you want a good appetite? Do you want
to build up your constitution ? Do you want
to feel well ? Do you want to get rid of
nervousness? Do you want energy? Do you
want to sleep well? Do you want brisk and
vigorous feelings ? U you do, try Kunkel's
Wine of Iron.
This truly valuable topic has been thorough
ly tested by all classes of the community, that
it is now deemed indispensable as a Tonic
medicine. It costs but little, purifies the
blood and gives tone to the stomach, renovates
the system and prolongs life.

A Yankee came from way down East,
Down *here the people Fay
They with a crowbar start the Sun
Upon the break of Day.
Ile came upon the raging sea—
A hand upon the deck
Of Captain Pinkham's ''Bally Ann,"
That hailed from Kennebec.
And now, with wonder in his eyes,
lie stood upon the pier,
And to the Captain of his craft
lie shouted: "LooK A-HERFI!
"‘G od gracious, Captain, can you tell
Where all these heaps do victual ?
Hold on until I get a chunk
Of pumpkin pie to whittle."
Then, with the shavings falling fast,
The Yankee strode along ;
And up through Market street he went,
The wonder of the ttiroug.
At last the Yankee, knife and all,
Was suddenly brought to:
Fur right before him TOWER lIALL
Majestic stood in view.
"JERUSALEM! If this ain't rich"—
The Yankee then gave vent—
"lr I AIN'T UP ON BUNKER HILL
And here's the MONUMENT
"A sentinel is at the door,
But then he has no gun ;
And I'll go in, for BUNKER BILL

And in he steps and asks the clerk
To tell him, if he knows, +a

"What struggle ?" said the wondering clerk
"I know not what you wean,"
"Dos'T?" sail the Yankee, growing mad,
"TitEs YOU' ARE JOLLY GREEN.
'•Ain't this the spot where Yankees Baked
The British nice and handy !
Ain't this the spot where grandsire fell
For Yankee doodle dandy ?
"Ain't - this the monument we rea,ed
To keep in mind the story

Wrote on the page of glory?"

Taking as the SHAFT Of LIBERTY
THE MONUMENT OF TRADE.
