CoL Lonnsberry in the Hills.
The daily papers of Tuesday announce
the arrival of Col. Lounsberry, editor of
the Bismarck TRIBUNE, in complimenta­
ry terms. Well they may. There is not
a man in the Union, who has been a bet­
ter friend or done more to develop the
resources of the Black Hills than Col.
Lounsberry.
The railioad strikes are all over. No
good accomplished, and many valuble
lives lost, and millions of dollars worth of
property destroyed, but the probabilities
are that a working man's party will be
inaugurated all over the United States
What influence this new organization will
have on the future destinies of the coun­
try, remains to be seen. It is much the
best way, however, to settle the whole
business through the ballot box.
United States
We have used considerable industry
as well as expense in trying to find out
who the new marshal of the territory is,
but up to this time we are unable to give
the desired information. We are still in
hopes the Raymond means our Capt. J.
W. Raymond, but, of course, are not sure.
The Dakota Herald, of a recent dais, -ays
"that the President has tendered the ap­
pointment to John H. Raymond, of Mis­
souri. The commission makes it J. B.
Raymond not J. H. or J. W. However,
time will tell.
Where the Money is,
Sec'y Sherman says that there are
$60,000,000
ot greenbacks deposited in
the vaults of the United States treasury
for safe keeping, upon which the Inter
Ocean truthfully remarks:
The iron vaults serve in lieu of stock­
ing legs. No wonder times are clcse.
What we need is a state of affairs that
will bring out this idle currency and give
it circulation among the people.
The large wheat crop in the west this
fall will have a tendency to circulate some
of this surplus capital, but
if
the owners
can afford to salt down so much money
without drawing any interest, the rest of
the world can stand it.

Niobrara Pioneer Mr.Jos. K. Steer,
whom we mentioned recently as having
been discharged from the Santee Agen­
cy, has been re-instated. Petitions have
been circulated among the Indians by
both parties, but the one praying for his
retention considerably overbalances the
other.
Farties who are good authority on the
subjeet, say that the Bohemians in the*
Niobrara valley have the finest wheat
they ever saw in any place, and they
have traveled extensively in a number of
states in the Union.
Sioux Falls Pantagraph: Some un
worthy perverter of veracity has tele­
graphed to a Wisconsin newspaper that
Dakota's wheat crop has been "injured
one-tenth part by the grasshoppers. A
mere wholesale fabrication could not
possibly have been invented. On the
contrary the 'hoppers have, as a general
thing, left wheat entirely alone, and the
whole amount of their, depredations thus
far, giving the largest margin possible,
will not amount to one two-hundredth
part of the entire crop growing.

RUSSIANS BADLY WHIPPED.
ST PAUL, Aug.
4th.—The
SEVEN MILKS.
Lossin killed and wounded is estimated
at seven thousand. The disaster is so
complete that the Russians will be obliged
to withdraw all forces south of Balkans,
except, perhaps, at Balkan pass.
The Russians have also met with re­
verses elsewhere along the Danube and
in Asia, around Ezeroum. Reinforce­
ments are being hurried forward to both
Russians and Turks, and the latter are
moving to follow up their recent suc­
cesses.
CREMATED.
Ten girls and two or three men were
bunted in a box factory at Cincinnati
yesterday.
In Pittsburgn seven men, while lining
a furnance, were precipitated into the
fiery volcano by the burning of the ropes
supporting the scaffolding. Two were
taken out dead, and the others are not
expected to live.
THE STRIKE IS OVER,
and the strikers are resuming business,
except in the mining districts, where
nothing is being done. There was no
disturbance yesterday, but considerable
excitement prevailed.

The Odor of the Human Body From
Nervous Affections.
Dr. Hammond's Addren to the Neurological Asso­
ciation.
Dr. Hammond called attention to
some facts in regard to the natural
odor of the body in the human species,
and of the faculty which some of the
lower animals possessed—that of differ­
entiating between the odors of differ­
ent individuals. Besides the inherent
odor of the body there was reason for
believing that an entirely different one
may be given off, not only as a conse­
quence of disease, but as a result of
economical disturbance. During the
middle ages manifestations of the kind
in question were not uncommon in the
persons of both sexes and were attribu
ed to miraculous power. That such
cases existed was probable, |not, how­
ever as a special gift of God, but as a
neurosis similar to other instances
which had come under the doctor's ob­
servation. Cases were then eited of a
number of the more important instances
ameng the saints, who were consid­
ered highly odiferous. So far as the
author of the paper was aware there
had been no attention given to the sub­
ject in the relations now under notice.
The cases cited as
bearing upon this point were briefly as
follows:
A young married lady of strong hys­
terical tendencies, from whom, during
a paroxysm, an agreeable odor similar
to that of violets, was exhaled only
from the left lateral half of the anterior
of the chest. At such times the pres
piration was remarkably increased in
this region as compared with the cor­
responding part opposite. The odor
was perceptible at a distance of several
feet, but was entirely absent during
the intervals of the paroxysms. From
an examination of an alcoholic extract
of the odiferous respiration exhaled
by this patient, it was presumed that
the odcr was due to the presence of
butyric ether. The local application of
several remedies to the parts, among
Thich wsre preparations of carbolic
acid, soap and water and other alkaline
substances, gave the patient only tem­
porary relief froa ilie odor but the
internal administration of the salicylate
of soda, in doses of five grains, entirely
cured this lady of her violaceous edor,
and the prespiration of the region was
reduced to the normal character.
A second case \7Z% that of
In a third case a pine apple odor was
emitted from the okin of the head,
neck, and checi of woman whenever
3he was angry.
A fourth case was thr.t of r. man who
during frequent hypochondriacal peri­
ods, emitted a violaceous odor. No
opinion as tc the actual and immediate
cause of these odorous emanations Tras
expressed, further than- that thej were
duo to a nervous disturbance.
Dr. Hammond passed around a small
vial containing an alcoholic extract of
the odoriferous perspiration of his first
patient, which had a distinct violent
smell also a second vial of the same
extract, with the addition of bicarbon­
ate cf sods, smalling strongly of pice
apple.
The Bozeman Courier, cf July 19th,
states that a raft of lumber, destined
for Tongue river or the Yellowstone,
had passed Shield's river all right.
This is the first attempt to ran lumber
down the Yellowstone. Next seaaon
we hope to see pine lumber, in log, by
the million, run down that river to cur
city, and here manufactured into Iuni»
ber. The running of lumber in rafts
•S7ill never be a success on the Missouri,
owing to the great amount of sediment
In the water, which would soon deposit
on a raft in sufficient quantity tc sink
it. We hope some enterprising Konta
nian will, the coming winter, cut a few
millions of logs for use on the Yellow­
stone and at this place. They need
have no fears of a market at good pri­
ces.

Charley Collins has retired from the

The timber in the Black Hills is being

The Bismarck TRIBUNE recently spoke
of Fred Penhler as a member of the staff
of the Deadwood Champion. The Cham­
pion repudiates and says Penhler left for
the East with an overcoat and rifle be­
longing to attaches of the Champion of­
fice.
The Deadwood Champion says the Ft
Pierre stage company has "gone glim­
mering through the past like a school
boy's tale, the wonder of an hour." In
other words it has petered out completely
and the stock has been disposed of at
sheriff's sale.
The Deadwood Champion says: "The
Black Hills, the very district that the
government officials and the Indian ring
didn't want opened to white settlement,
pays twice as much internal revenue tax
as all the balance of Dakota Territory.
Dr. Jennings, the collector of this district,
took in
for the month of May, $1,-
for June, and
$2,000
for July. Ail
this money found its way into the treas­
ury. Not a cent cf it was lost in a dog

Daily Times:
Most of the claims on Deadwood and
Whitewood gulch are being worked day

There is a good opening for a quartz
mill in the vicinity of Battle Creek, in
the vicinity of Harney city.
Chamber C. Davis made an essay of
ore from the new silver district on Battle
Creek that 6howed
$8,(29.74
Some «f the silver quartz from Battle
Creek is very light colored and gives
the appearance of more sliver than
quartz.
They are doing well in the Harney
district near Hayward, on their placer
claims, and report comes in that they
are getting out big pay.
The silver district on Battle Creek has
been staked off for miles since the new
discoveries, and it is supposed to &e the
richest discovery in the Hills.
Mr. Tuller, of Sioux City, having read
the Champicn article on the scarcity of
cats in the Black Hills, and the specula­
tions to be derived by importing them
here, has loaded up one hundred of them
of all ages, sizes and quality, and is now
on his way here. Another party in Chey­
enne also acted on our suggestion, and is
bringing in a load. There'll be music in
the air, and a cat-er-waul in hair when

ABOUT ANITA DICKINSON.
Her Family, Her Surgonnflfngt
HerFntnre.
Hew York Correspon denoe of the Baltimore Ameri­
can.
I saw Anna Dickinson the other day,
and the contrast between her life at
home and the stormy episode through
which she has passed was so marked that
I thought your readers might be interes­
ted in assisting to trace it. Few people
know Anna Dickinson as she is, or the
sort of stock from which she sprung. She
is generally supposed to have been a poor
girl, of New England birth and parent­
age, with an assertive, dominant will,
and strong but uncultivated intellect
Nothing could be farther from the troth.
She is a born aristocrat, if we have any
such, able to trace her ancestry back
300
years, on the eastern shore
of Maryland,
on! the mother's side, and^through one Of
the oldest and proudest of Pensylvania
lines on the father's Her mother was
an Edmundson—shareholding Quakers,
until, in her mother's grandfathers time,
a liberal movement in the'society obliged
its members either to give up their slaves
or resign their membersnip he chose to
give them up. Her mother—her "patron
saint," as she loves to call her—is a wo­
man of refined appearance and exquisite
manners, who has always sustained her
place in the very best society. As a girl,
her most intimate friend was Miss Fish­
er—Sallie M. Fisher afterwards Mrs.
John M. Clayton—and an illustricusman
said «f her that she was *(the finest lady
and most thoroughbred woman" he had
ever seen. Anna Dickinson's grandfa­
ther on the father's side was a Pensylva
nian nabob, whose ancestors had occu­
pied for six generations a plantation, or
rather principality, of
2,000
acres, upon
which he lived like a prince, and became,
probably, somewlat of an old Pagan, for
he quarrelled with his eldest, and, I be­
lieve, oldest son, Anna Dickinson's fath­
er, and the latter left his home, deter­
mined to make his own way in the world,
which he did. He became a great whole­
sale merchant, a friend of James G. Bir
ney, of Whittier, Joshua R. Giddings, and,
in short, one of the founders of the Lib­
eral party. Unfortunately, however, he
failed, and six months thereafter, before
he had time to recover himself (for he
was an "old-fashioned" merchant and
had given up everything), he died of
heart disease, dropping dead in the street
on his way home from a Liberal meeting,
where he had made, what there are per­
sons who still remember, the best extem­
poraneous speech to which they had ev­
er listened.
Anna was the youngest of five children,
one sister and three brothers, and there
were plenty of rich relatives on both sides
ho would have divided up the children
among them and given the widow a
home, but this did not suit her ideas. She
wished to keep them together and rear
them herself, and so she did, and did it
so well that her son (one boy died) was
Professor in the first cellege on the Paci
fie slope at twenty, and if Anna did not
share for quite so lenghthened a period
(she left school at fourteen) in the ad­
vantages which her brothers and sister
enjoyed, it was because she was the
youngest, and elected not to do so, seeing
that the long struggle was wearing upon
her mother, and fearing that if she gain­
ed all she wished to give her in the way
of scholastic training, it would be at the
expense of that mother's life. Moreover,
she has lost nothing. Experience has
given her abetter education than books
could have done. From her father, An­
na Dickinson inherits the ardor, passion
and almost insane love of justice which
distinguished her, while from her moth­
er comes the love of fine and rare things,
the tenacity of purpose, the persever­
ance and determination to do or die,
which are equally apart of her nature.
Underlying the whole is a sensitive soul,
which vibrates to every passing breath
like the sensitive plant, and responds so
quickly and truly to the winds that pass
over it, that it almost depends upon them,
whether it discourses sweet music or dis­
cordant sounds, like bells "fangled" and
"out of tune."
Anna Dickinson's home consists of an
apartment shut in from everything but
the breeze, which comes through the fo
liaged spaces of one of the wide streets
of New Yorkt Here she lives with her
maid, her books, her pictures and her
work, and here her intimates share her
dainty lunch or quiet dinner, unpretend­
ing as to discription of viands, but exqui
sitely cooked, and served in such rare old
rhina, with the additon of such delicate
bits of glass and antique silver, that the
soul who loves such things is gladdened
while the body is being satisfied

Twelve Years After the War.
Twelve years ago, Richmond, with
