A peculiar feature here is what miners cll the *‘Chinook breeze,” frequently in winter a worm wind will come sweeping over the mountains from the west, melt ing the snow, and causing very fine weather, AGRICULTURE, The valleys are rich and fertile and the Contributed to The Bar.)

At the last Black Hills fair were an exhibition of native green corn, wheat, rye, batley, oats, clover, and rices. This is due to the action of the rie road, which transports the dressed carcasses, and has refused to be governed by the excessive rates agreed upon by the other trunk lines to the west. The rates on Chicago dressed beef are now 60 per cent higher than the rates on cattle, but even with this discrimination we have reasonably cheap beef. It is now proposed to great- ly increase the rates, with a view of shut- ting cheap beef out of the eastern mar- kets altogether. Commissioner Fink has prepared a report on the subject, in which he recommends the higher rates on the dressed beef shipments, and a pros- sure has been brought upon the Erie to | agree witlfthem. Theplain English of it is thatin order that the live stock by the rail- roads may prosper, the people shall pay extortionate prices for the meat they consume, Thus a tax is levied upon bus iness men and workingmen in the east to Tndians and were socalled from their dark | timothy; pumpkins weighing ninety-three | gnrich cattle dealers and railroad officials appearance when viewed from a distance. On a bright day the traveler, coming to- ward the Hills and seventy-five or eighty miles distant will see what appears to be | an indistinctly colored and imperfectly outlined cloud hanging near the horizon. Upon approaching nearer, the cloud scems to grow darker and the outlines more distinet until he arrives within thirty or forty miles of them, when the moun- tain peaks dispel the cloud iilusion and he learns that what he has been regarding as a black cloud is the Black Hills, The seenrry of thess mountainsare both varied and beautiful, All around them and in among them are beautiful valleys and parks. Thero are also beautiful streams of clear, cool water flowing from golden mountains down into the valleys below inviting the tiller of the soil to stick in his spade and reap a thousand fold. | The Indians favorite hunding ground was among and around those hills. No wonder then that he fought so desperately to keep the white man away, for here he | found the bear among the rocks, the wild | deers mid the parks and forest, the ante- lope lived among the foot-hills and the buffalo_grazed in the valleys and upon the plain, and upon the mountain streams the beaver had built his house. The Indians say they kney there was gold here long before the ~white man came, but they do not know where it was first discovered. They frequently took specimens of gold into the trading posts, DEADWOOD may properly be regarded as the metrop- olis of the Hills. It has an active popu- lation of 4,000. Being the county seat of Lawrence county, the United States district and county courts are held here, and pre- sided over by the able jurist, Judge Church. There are in Deadwood churches, schools, a number of wholesale and re- tail business houses, two banks, and is incorporated; also two daily papers— The Times and The Pioneer. LEAD CITY is situated about three miles southwest of Deadwood, and is noted not only for its mines but for it great quartz mills, It hasa population of about 2,000,and num- bers about sixty business houses, also having schools, churches and a bank. One paper is published here—The Lead City g‘rib\mo. TRRRAVILLE, This thriving camp derives its import- ance from the fact tSmt the Deadwood, Terra and Caledonia mines and mills are located here.

DAKOTA HOT SPRINGS, These fi ous springs are situated in Fall River county about twenty-five miles southeast of Custer City and eleven miies west of Buffalo Gap, and on Fall River four miles above its mouth, The medici- nal qualities of these waters have been known to the Sioux Indians for years, and have be in the habit of taking their sick to them when afflicted with chronic diseases. The country around these springs cannot be surpassed for fer- tility and beauty. When proper arrange- ments are made are destined to be- come_one of the greatest attractions of the Black Hills, as a resort for the sick and pleasure seeker, The medicinal properties of these waters consist of iron, sulphur, magnesia, soda, potassie, li ete., making it oneof the best com known to pharmacy, and a specif chronic diseases, such as rheumatism, scrofula, crysipelns, indigestion, piles, constipation, syphilis, ete. The present owners at no distant time expect to com- mence a series of improvements of the most substantial and attractive character. Your townsman the Hon. Judge Dudley is largely interested in them, The beauty of this place cannot be ex- celled by the famous watering place of Baden Baden, Germany, having a water- fall of seventy-five feet, four miles below those springs, also a cave, groves of cedar and elms, besides the mcfiicinml proper- ties it contains, it is also highly charged with electricity, curing some cases in a very shoru time FACILITIES FOR TRAVEL, between the Black Hills and the east is over the Sidney line owned by Mr. Marsh & Co. of Omaha, (T. H. Russell general agent Deadwood, D. T.). This line runs from Deadwoad to Sidney on the Union Pacific railroad, a distance of about 280 miles in 48 hours, persons desiring to go east, or to Colorado, California, or the southern states, will find this the most direct route for them to travel on. It is one of the best equipped routes in the west, large and comomdious stations, with every facility for the comfort convenience of the passengers, having Dbeen erected on the route at intervals of from twelve to fourteen miles apart.

G SGE ). SI i & Changes in the Cattle Trade. 1t is very evident to the close observ- er that the shipping of dressed beef from towns like Kansas City and Chicago to the markets of the seaboard, and even back near the points of original supply, has proved a decided help to the cattle- raisers of the west, because it has ren- dered the western markets comparatively inde‘wndunt of fluctuations in the east, which at times were soviolent and sweep- ing us to swallow the profits of n season in a very fow days, and all because an ar- ticle so bulky as live cattle is not casily transported from point to point, but must sell when it reaches its destination or eat up the profits that ought to accrue. Upon this topic, an interesting one for cattle-men, the Drover's Journal re- marks: “‘For many years Chicago has been famed as the greatest live stock market on the globe, but, notwithstanding that fact, she has been greatly dependent upon the Eastern seabord and to a less extent, on the intermediate markets, When the New York market was overstocked and weaker, Chicago was weaker in sympathy. Now, New York muy be full to overflow- ing of live cattle and Chicago loaded heavily without any perceptible weaken- ing in this market. New York nolonger controls Chicaga, but Chicago is more and more getting to control the live stock business of the whole country. Tt is the one great distributing center. The reason of the market change is attributable to the growth of the dressed beef business of Swift Brothers & Co., Armour & Co. and G. H. Hammond & Co., to say nothing of others engaged in dressing and preserving meats here, exert greater influence upon the market than the eastern seaboard” buyers of live stock ever did. They buy freely not only of good cattle, but of the best that are offer- ed. Some of the finest cattle seen here in months have been bought and dressed here this week at outside prices, for shipment to New York in refrigerator cars, Some of the most high toned butchers in the eastern cities are taking from these Chicago firms. The meat is in vastly better condition on arrival there, after having been slaughtered in Chicago, than if sent on foot. This is a fact that needs but little demonstration, It is pat- ent toall, Heavy trains of live cattle continue to go eastward every day, but the daily teains of refrigerator beof are rapidly growing in number, The pooled railroads,with Commission- er Fiok and his figures, have not s coeded in their recent attempt to dest this common sense method of transport- ing beef, We have the authority of the Newark (N. J.) Sunday Call forthe state ment that “notwithstanding the diserim- ination of the railroads in the freight rates on Chicago dressed beef, by which the Chicago shippers of this beef, or, rather, the persons who purchase it in at Galena ll.uapma his ores to Omaha, it was found ig, but the Col. now has & smelter quartz mill in the oust, uro obliged to puy for o wuppo- sittioun mount of offl i order to_pro- tect the rich live stock shippers, this beef without the least shew to pretense of justice or right. — GORRING FIRST LAUNCH, Seven Hundred Busy Workmen in the New Ship-Yard at Port Richmond, Philadelphia Record. rican Ship-building Company, for Morris K.

It is a beautiful specimen of marine architecture Many other contracts are being filled by the new company, notably a large iron ship for William H. Starbuck, of New York, which is rapidly approaching com- pletion, Two tugs for the Pacific const will be launched in a few days, when the construction of two more for use at Ha- vana, Cuba, will immediately begin. Last week, Commander Gorringe states, he contracted for the building of two iron three-masted centre-board schooners for Philadelphia parties. One of these—for Captain Johnson—will be 136 feet long, 33 feet beam and 11 feet 6 inches depth of hold, and the other— 141 feet long—is ordered by Captain Malloy, who will put it in the West India and coasting trade. Seven hundred men are employed in the different departments of the yard, Eve thing is in readiness for placing in posi- tion a floating dock and steam-riveting machine. A Visit to a Farmer's Daughter in Ohio Who Wears the Largest Shoes on Earth. Cincinnati Enquirer. Sanpusky, July 7.—Fannie Mills has the biggest feet in the world, so far as known, and they are still growing. Your correspondent came hers on purpose to see the wonderful sight, which would, under ordinary circumstances, be a very indelicate proceeding. It seents strange and rather unusual in a young man to travel 200 miles to see a pair of feet, and those belonging to a woman. Fannie Mills is 22 years old, and re- sides on the dairy farm of her father, George Mills, two miles from Sandusky. Your correspondent called at the Mills home at evening, and the head of the household was standing in the yard. His greoting was kindly and he entered into conversation on the subject of his daugh- ter's big feet. He laughingly remarked that people didn’t generally believe the seemingly incredible storiss concerning Fannie's immense pedal extremities, but to prove that they were really so large he invited the reporter into the house to see for himself. The young woman was called by her father and wabbled, rather than walked, into the front room. She worea long gown, which was scarcely long enough to hide the deformity. She sat down in a chair and exposed her feet to view. It is almostimpossible to exagger- ate the marvellous sight. She removed her shoes and then great white pillow cases, which were worn as stockings, The feet look like two immense hams. The toes are irregular, and the little toes are ropresented by two little knobs. There are no toe nails, although the pla- ces where they should be are clearly de- fined. Your correspondent undertook the delicate task of measuring the feet. The right foot is one foot six inches in length, and the left one inch shorter. Over the instep of the right is twenty- one inches, and over the other one inch less. The big toe of the left foot is eleven inches in circumference. The right foot is longer than the left by an inch, but the latteris heavierand thicker, The feet are respectively seven and eight inches wide. From this actual measure- ment of Fanny Hill's feet any can rea- ily imagine what marvelously large shoes she must wear, ~ Heretofore the have been manufactured in Albany, N. Y., but a Sandusky shoe firm has the lasts and a pair of shoes on exhibition which have attracted great attention. Her feet have increased in size since the display in the shoe store window was made. The left shoe is 16} inches long, the right 18 inches in length; the left shoe is 7riuchus wide, and the other 8 inches, The right instep of the shoe measures 19} inches, and the left 17} inches. Fannie Mills weighs 109 pounds, and, although delicate imking. says she has good health. It takes two calf hides to make her a pair of shoes, and all her vitality goes to sustain her massive limbs and feet. The girl had unusually large feet when she was born, and they have con- tinued to grow alarmingly fast ever since. The girls of Chicago, whose big feet are proverbial, must now surrender the palm to poor little Fannie Mills, who bears her hard fate cheerfully, ——— A Thrilling Scene, New York Sun, A shapely girl appeared at a fifth-story window in Boston, Her long hair was loose, and her gown was white, so that to the uncritical eye she looked like a person right from bed; but she wore shoes and stockings, ns was subsequently observed, and there were numerous touches of a careful toilet. Howover, she fairly rep- resented a girl hastily aroused from sleep by fire Her mevements were rapid, too, and her manner wild, She flung open the sash and climbed out on the sill, The square fronting the building was almost instantly crowded, With a shill cry dropped herself. A thrill of horror v h the multitude, But the girl was not dashed to pieces on the sidewalk She descended with great but harmless celerity into the arms of a man, who be gan at once to expatiate upon the merits of his device, which consisted of a single wire, attached to a kind of harness, and pulled out from a box by the weight of the person hitched to it.

Boston Herald “I have been amnusing myself by tak- ing a census of the occupations of 500 ple whom I met consecutively to- *Could you find any 500 consecutive peaple in Boston who were occupied?” “T took H500 who were doing some- thing.” *‘What were the results?” “The way I came to do it was through seeing nine men, all in a lump, going in to take a drink. 1 m-mh»m\ what pro- portion of the crowds could go along the streets without ‘gu ng' on the way. | Of the 500 and odd people who were do- | ing something besides walking and talk- | ing, 217 were drinking,” “‘That seems incredible.” I know it does, but it has been a very hot day, and T was in an unusually favor- able locality for taking a guzzling cen- sus.” The above conversation and a glimpse at the immense shipments from ar ex- tensive bottling aitAblighsrant suggested an inquiry, not only into the drinking tendencies of the day, but more particu- larly into the quantity and v of driniks constimed in_ this vicinity during the warm season. One gentleman inter- viewed s “There are well marked eras in business, and while it may not be said that the progress of civiliza- tion in America has been indicated by the drinking habits of the people, it is a fact that society and industry and the general health have been consids affected by the provalent dri habits Tof each generation. then, there are the eras veferred to, well defined, interesting, and even amusing. The drinking habits of early colonial days in New England were characterized by that abstemiousness which accorded with the severity of discipline and sobriety of life which made the future America pos- sible. In he southern colonies convivial habits were more prevalent, although quality, rather than quantity, regulated the consumption. As near as can be learned, for the first century of colonial life in New England, the forefathers drank v little of anything save water, and sparingly of that. ~In the early days of the t century the West In. din trad revolutienized the drink question and the inhabitants of New En- gland became a rum-drinking people. It was plain rum, not whisky, not brandy, not much wine until after the revolution, when the fancy aleoholic beverage came into use wherever luxury prevailed. An- other century epoch came when the Washingtonian movement almost de- stroyed rum drinking. But alcoholic drinks revived, and since the war lager, ales, ete., in various forms, have had an amazing consumption. Almost every- thing drinkable is now in demand, and those who drink at all drink a great deal. Americans are said tobe fast becoming a nation of guzzlers, and there is some basis of fact for the assertion. Some one has said that in the days of the Pilgrims two drinks a day sufficed; at the time of the revolution men drank five times a day, while immediately after the war of the rebellion the American seople averaged thirteen drinksper diem, Hospirar tiie accelerating ratio will go the gout and dyspepsia of the future will doubtless determine. On one of the scorching days a little more than a week ago, a Boston man drank forty-one times, and that is *‘small potatoes” of a story when set beside the ‘marvelous ab- sorbing power of a New York Dutchman. Certain 1t is that drinking or not drink- ing is pretty much a.matter of habit. The writer knows persons who take not adrop of fluid from the morning to the evening meal, and who are in perfect health. It is no question of control nor self-denial, for the question of drink is often not thought of throughout the day. The growth of the drinking habits of the American people is evidenced by the sta- tistics covering tea and coffee. The im- portation and use of these articles have increased rapidly. In 1860, 26,326,928 pounds of tea and 182,095,206 pounds of coffee were consumed in the United States. In 1882, the consumption was 77,191,060 pounds of tea and 435,- 579,280 pounds of coffee. That. is, thirteen years ago, tea drinking in this country amounted to seven- eights of a pound a year for each adult and infant, while five and three-quarters pounds of coffee per capita was the allow- ance, One year ago each person in the land used one and one-half pounds of tea and eight and one-fourth pounds of coffee. From 1860 to 1866 the consumption of both tea and coffee decreased each year, on account of the high prices incident to the war, but since then they have yearly jumps in figures, In one year after the war the consumption of tea and coffee more than doubled. . As an evidence of the remarkable in- crease in lager beer drinking may be stated the fact that in the month of June 1876, a leading firm in Boston sold sev- enty-cight barrels of lager. During the same month of the next year 2,600 bar- rels were sold,’and the trade has been in- creasing ever since. This firm is now bottling fifty barvels of lager per day. The expenditure of Boston during the last year for simply intoxicating drinks indicates the immensity of this drinking capacity. The outlay was 851,000,000, o —— THE PROFESSION A UNIT. Mr. €. H.
