My last diatch was written on tic

aontb fork of the Cheyenne irora
point on tbe latter nearest to Fort
Laramie. On the morning cf tbe 4th

tnaia camp near Homey 'a Teak, ar
ming there by a different route on
tbe Cth. On the morning of tbe 7th
tbe expedition began its march north
ward. Bear Butte being our next ob
jective point. We advanced without
serious obstacle until within ten or
iwpvIa tnn.B nf P.r Hutte. when we
found our further progress barred by
a high range of impasse
attempted to affect a passage through
eome one of tbe many valleys where
water-courses ran directly through
tbe hills in the desired direction, but
in every instance we were led into
. deep, broken canons impassable even
to horsemen. Through one of these
I made my way on foot from a high
peint, and obtained a view of the
plains outside, Retracing my steps,
I placed tbe command in camp in a
fine valley in which it bad balled,
and converted tbe remainder of the
day to a further search for a practicle
route through the bills. The result
rfprided mi to follow down a water-
course which led us first toward the
south and afterward toward the east.
This stream proved to le Elk Creek,
the valley of which, as well as tbe
stream itself, proved to be at least
equal in beauty nd extent to any
passed through during the march.
VTe camped twice on this stream, and
as far as we proceeded down the
course we had a most excellent road.
But Ending that like nearly all other
streams leaving the bills, its course
would take us into a cannon which
could be barely made practicable for
wagons, I searched for and discover
ed a iiarrow cap in tie rocky wall
which forma the northern boundary

west Side, passed through the east
ern and most southern ranges, ex
plored the major portion of the inte

eastern ranges which form the boun
dary of the, black Hills. From the
" fact that In all ouf principle marches
-' through the Black Hills we hare
taken without sericus obstacle a heav
ily laden train of over 100 wagons,
it may be inferred that tbe Black
Hills do rot constitute the impene
trable region beretofoie represented.
In entering tbe Black Hills from any
direction the most serious it not the
; only obstacle we encountered at once
near the outer base- This probably
accounts for the story which has so
loBg existed regarding the character
of tbe interior. Exploring parties
hae; contented themselves with
v uim lu'ug Kiuuuui iuo exterior uase,
and from the forbidden aspect of the
hills, as viewed at a distance, infer
red that an advance toward the inte
rior would only encounter increased
obstacles. In regard to the charac
ter of the country inclosed by tbe
Black HilTsIcan n!y: repeat what
I bare elated in previous dispatches.
Xo portion of the United States can
boast of a richer or better pasturage
or purer water tne natural tempera
. tdre f which ia -midsummer, as it
' flows from the earth, is twelve do
jgroes above tbe frecziug poiut, and of :
greater advautages generally to the
farmer or stock raiser than arc found
leewhere. In the Black Hills build
ing stone found in inexhaustible
Quantities; and wood, fuel, and lum
ber sufficient for all time to come.
Rains ai frequent, with do evidence
of either, ilrought er freshets. Tbe
days are' perhaps too short and the
nights too cool for corn: but I be
lieve 11 other, grain could be pro-
diced here ioj abundance. ' Wheat
. particularity would yeild largely.
There is no doubt as to the exlstanee
of various metals throuougbt the
bills. As this .subject has received
the special attention of experts who
accompanied the expedition and will
be reported in detail, I will only men
tion the fact that iron and plumbago,

A Xorweci" .Sketch.
BY BJORXSTER-NE BJOB.N'SO.W
Thord Overas3 was tbe leading
man in tbe parish. One day he pre
sented himself in tbe clergyman's
6tudy, looking very grave and impor
tant. "I've gt a son," he said, "and I
wish to have Liin christened."
"What shall the name be ?"
v-- - r. r..l...- ? i
"And the god-father s and god-
mother's !
Thord named tLcra

fbouid like to have him

med bv himself," he said.
"On a week day, then?"
"Next Saturday, at twelve."
"Anything else?" a:-ked the cler
gyman. "Nothing," and the farmer turned
Lis cop, as if be w ished to go.
Then tbe clergyman ro?e :
"1 think there is yet this." be said,
and went across to Thord, grasped
ma c e ;
i vci to wisn inai ooa mav mase me
child a blessing to you."
'
Sixteen years after, again one day
TLord stood in the clergyman's room
"You wear well, Thord," said the
clergyman; for he saw hardly any
change in him.
"Well I've nothing to trouble me,"
answered Thord.
The clergyman gave no ieply; but
after a pause he asked :
"And what cn I do fur vou this
evening V
-I've come auoui niy son, who s
going to be conCrmed to-morrow."
'Ah, he's a bright lad."
.' I thought I wouldn't pay the
clergyman till I had beard what num
ber the bov s proinir to cct in the
church"
"He is going to be number one."
"Well, now I know that, here are
ten daler for the clergyman."

asked the clergyman.
"Nothing more and Thord went
Another eight years had flown,
when one day tbe clergyman beard a
great stir outside bis study door, and
several men walked in, with Thord at
their head.
l tie ciercryman looked up ana rec
ognized him.
"You come with plcanty of compa
ny this evening," bo said.
"I wish to ask you to publish the
banns for my son ; he is going to be
married to Karen Storliden, daughter
of Godmund, who is now here.
"Indeed; and she is the wealthiest
ycung woman in the parish."
'So they say," answered the farm
er, rushing up bis hair with one
band.
lne ciercrman sat awtiiic as if in
thought, but said nothing; then be
entered the names in bis book, and
the men signed them.
I hord laid three daler on the ta
ble.
"Eut it's oaly one daler,"' said the
clergyman.
"1 know that ; but he's my only
child I'm willing to do what's band
some." The clergyman took up the money.
"This is now the third time, Thord,
vou have come here in behalf of vour
son."
J "Yes, and now I've done with
! him," replied Thord ; and be closed
ibis pocket book, and said, "Good
evening," and went out. The other
men followed slowly.
A fortnight after, one calm still
day, the father and son set out to
row across the lake to Storliden, to
talk about the wedding.
"The thwort bsneath me doesn't
lie steady," said tbe son ; and he rose
up to put it right At the same mo
ment the bottom-board he stepped
upon slipped, and stretching out his
arms and sh:iek"iDg, be fell into tbe
lake.
"Catch bold on ibis oar I" cried tbe
father stretching it out
But tbe son only mado two strokes
toward it before be became cramped.
"Stay a moment!" cried the father
and rowed towards bim.
Bat the son fell back, gave one
long look at the father, and saok.
Thord would nut believe it was
really so, but held the boat still, and
kept his eyes fixed upon the spot
where the son cad gone down, ex
pecting jim to come up again.
A Tew bubbles came up ; then some
morn ; then just a single large one;
that bursts; and the lake lay again
smooth as a mirror.
For three days and three nights
the father was seen rowing around
the spot, without pausing to take
either food or sleep ; be was drag
ging tbe lake. On the morning of the
third day be found what be sought,
and bore it over tbe bills to his
home.
About a year after that time, tbe
clergyman, late one autumn evening,
heard somebody moving in tbe pus-1
sage outside his room door, and care
fully fumbling for tbe latch. Tbej
tlergyman opened the door And there '
discovered it at an
little time or labor.
came in a man with white hair and a
tail Cgure, wasted And bowed down
The clergyman looked long at him
before be recognized him : it was
Thord.
"You come late," said the clergy
man : and then stood still before bim
"Yesres I come late." said
Thord. and he sat down.
Tbe i lergyraan then sat down also
and tlv re was a long silence.
At 1 ut. Thord said:
"I have brought something I wish
to cive to tbe poor I wish it to be a
Warv in mr son's name." and he
rose, laid some money on the table
and sat down again.
Tbe clergyman counted tbe money.
"But here is a large sum,'.' he said.
"Its half the price of my farm. J
sold it to day."
The clergyman sat lang in silence
At last be said gently:
"Well, Thord, and what do you
wish how for yourself""
"To be a better man."
A rain they sat in silence Thord
with bis eyes downcast, and the cler
rvman looting earnestly at him.
Then the clergyman said, gently
and slowly 1 -
"I think now, at last, your son has
become a blessing to you."
"Yes, now I think that myself,"
said Thord. and be looked up, and
two tears fell heavily down bis face
Llrlnr Alose.
Tbe Elmira Gazette says : It may
be all very well to be an angel, and
with the angels stand, but this being
aJiermit and living alone, is not
quite so fine. At tbe present writing
we don't know mucn about trie angel
business, but as to living alone "we
know how it 13 ourself." ror two
long drearv weeks we have tried it
Eor two long dreary weeks we have
been tbe only soul in the house. We
have bad no one to love us, none lo
ca-bur. All alone we went to bed,
not to us a word was said. We got
up in tbe morning just as quickly as
we retired at night. There wasn't
much house work to do, and tbe
barnchores didn't consume much
time. For tbe first few day9 we
studied economy and boarded ourself.
We soon got tired eating the outside
slice of bread at everv meal, and
threw tLe loaf away and bought
crackers. Remembering the diGculty
that Brother Beecher bad with bis
. . . . . , , . j
! the time, wc resolved not to wh
I e
anv li;Les, but just put the dirtv
! ones to soak and use clean ones. As
long as the dishes bold out, we shall
i get along Tith that part of housekeep
ing all right, but Ibey wont last al
ways, as tLe pue of clean ones
ts
daily growirg smaller, and the
pile
ot dirty ones larger. I be crisis in
this particular is approaching, and
unless "the folks" come Lome pretty
soon, we shall have to borrow some
dishes. For the first few days we
made the lcd up nicely every morn
ing. For tbe next few days we put
it off till night, and for the last lew
days we have not made it at alL We
were charged particularly to water
the house plants, and take care of the
bird. The plants have caused us a
great deal of trouble, but we left the
door of the cage open about the first
time we curried that animal off, and
be hasn't troubled us much since.
Of course, we'll "catch it" when the
folks come home, but that is a good
deal easier than it is to catch the
bird. Oa the whole, we arc free to
say that we dont like housekeeping,
and if ever we should be "born again"
aud according to very good author
ity, we have nil got to undergo" that
operation we earnestly hope we
shan't be born a woman, and ee
cially a housekeeping one. We would
rather be an angel.
Don't Aba theld Ilvrse.
If tbe faithful servant that has
worked for you so many years, is not
quite as strong or fleet as in years
gone by, perhaps be is worth as much
to you as to anybody. Good care
and generous feeding will make even
an old horse more valuable than if
starved or abused. If your business
requires younger and smarter horse
flesh, keep the old one for tbe women
and children to drive. Old acquain
tances brc safer than tbe new ones.
If you cannot keep both give the old
one to some old farmer who you
know will be kind to him, with the
promise that he shall not trade him
off to some brutal master, but will
keep him as long as be is worth keep
ing, and then kindly lay him away
where he will be beyond tbe reach of
hunger, cold and pain.
Many an old horse if be knew bis
situation, would thank his- owner to
take away life as a burden too heavy
to bear. We have rot into the habit
of being both too careless and too
cruel to old horses in this country.
Wc owe it to them as our servants,
as well as two ourselves as human
oeings, mat we see to it that our
norses are not necessarily abused or
neglected as soon as they begin to
show signs of old age.
The Iontfon Boy.
"I never get tired of studying tbe
London boy," writes the Danbury
News man. "He is always on the
street, and always in the way. I
never saw such a boy in any other
city. He is not quarrelsom, not
saucy, not adcicted to smoking, and
I never beard one of tbem swear,
even under the most favorable cir
cumstances. To tell the truth I never
beard them say much of anything,
lie is a helpless youtb, addicted to
store windows, rubbing against build
ings, and topling over obstructions.
He has a dreadful tendency to be al
ways packtng up against 6omethinr
and always missing it, to the detri
ment of bis bones; only they do not
fall with sufficient force to break a
bone. I have seen one of them slide
from the side of a lamp-post, turn- a
part somersault, recover himself, bit
up against tbe post again, slip off tbe
curb, .and gradually get down'on his
back ia tbe gutter faking in all some
dozen seconds to do it, while an
American boy would go down and
stave a hole in the back of his head,
and make a doctor's bill of eighteen
dollars in less than a second.

sons of unusual heat and dryness, ara
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements cf the stomach and liver,

treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walseu's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which tho
bowels are loaded, at lV.3 same time
stimulating the secretins of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar

Ia these, as ia all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walter's Vinegar Bitters have
shown their great curative powers in the
most obstinato and intractable cases.
For Infiamniatory and Chronic

these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases

For Female Complaints, in young

Cleanse the Vitiated Elood when

cleanse it when yoa find it obstructed and
