KEY HILL.
From the Alexandria (Vs.) Gasette.l
Tue oration of Ben Hill, the great
statesman from Georgia, in response
to Mr. Mr. Blaine, who advocated
the exclusion of Jefferson Davis from
amnesty, was an able and eloquent
defense of the “chieftain of the lost
eause,” which elicited a feeling of
gratitude from every Southern
heart; aud a local poet, though not
presuming to affect poetical excel
lence, chooses to express that grati
tude in the following words:
From the field of Appomatox,|fro'a Manassas'
bloody plain.
From the lip* of those now living, from the
graves of those who’re slain.
From the widows aud the orphans, from the chil
dren yet unborn.
From the ruined homes and places of a people
most forlorn.
There swells s voice of gratitude no strife nor
storm can still,
A rousing shout of thanks to thee, great, glori
ous Beu Hill.
The moaniug winds that sigh above the foot
boards aud the head
Of two hundred thousand Southern men asleep
now with the dead.
Badly sing with praise to thee, for those who
cannot sing,
Aud all the thanks of blended hearts in one great
anthem ring.
And when upon the grassy mound that marks the
soldier’s tomb
Once more the Southern violets in early spring
do bloom,
They’ll wear for thee, great Georgian, a brighter,
lovelier hue,
For the words you spoke for Davis were beauti
ful and true.
And Virginia sends h*r greetings, us the other
States have done,
To our sister State of Georgia, iu honor of her
son, .
Who in the nation’s councils lus mighty logic
hurled,
Aud saved our fallen chieftain from the censure
of the world.

THE MAN WHO WANTS TO BET THAT IT IS
FLAT.
New York World.]
An Englishman named Hampden
is possessed of a tixed belief that the
world is flat, and no seientilio evi
dences of it3 sphericity move him in
the least. So sincere is his fait h on
this point that he constantly backs
it with bets whicn he of course al
ways loses. But with the heartfelt
curse of a baffled though still un
shaken Briton lie begins again direct
ly, looks out for a customer, haggles
about the stakeholder and the um
pire, and puts up his money anew
with undaunted pluck and confidence.
He has been engaged in this business
for a period of years, and it is pos
sible that his losses begin to tell on
his fortune, as he has just brought
suit against the stakeholder of his
last wager for the recovery of the
money paid over by that gentleman
to his antagonist. While he rejects
the conclusion drawn from them, he
does not impugn the fairness of the
scientific processes which caused
judgment to be given against him.
hut bases his suit upon the plea that
he has had no consideration for his
money. This seems to imply that
the obstinate namesake of that great
statesman and patriot who stood out
with equal fortitude against the pay
ment of ship-money, intends to
abandon his efforts to correct the
aberrations and expose the pretou
sions of science,or at least to spend no
more money in that fruitless endeav
or. It eannot be denied that he has
backed his opinion manfully. His
cosmological theory has at least ttiis
claim to respect—that it is a very old
one, and was the fashion long before
the one at present held had been
heard of. Neither Hecatmus nor
Ptolemy nor the geographer of Hav
en na had any doubts of the flatness of
the world, or that the sun rose out
of or sunk into the ocean, as it ap
peared to do. Could Mr. Hampden
have livedln their time, and got bets
enough,he would have coined money.
“Sad is the fate of the bard born out
of time,” as the poet sings, and
equally sad, as the plucked Briton
hus found out, is the fate of the cos
mologist who comes into the world
the proportions of which he would
rectify, a few hundred years after all
the judicious stakeholders have
passed away, and a stiff necked and
perverse generation has come upon
the stage which rejects the plain tes
timony of appearances, and fashions
its belief on remote and deluding
forms of evidence. These forms Mr.
Hampden scorns and spits upon ; but
as they beat him everytime, he is
perhaps wise in giving up the strug
gle and suing for the recovery of his
lost money.

Wind Traveling Seven Hundred 11110*
an Ilnur.
JCew York Herald, 3d.]
The force of the wind when travel
ing at high velocities is capable of
producing the most extraordinary
effects on exposed objects, such as
buildings, trees, animals and even
bodies of water. In March, 1875, a
series of destructive tornadoes visited
North and South Carolina and Geor
gia, and Sergeant Calver of the Sig
nal Service, was ordered to investi
gate their character and effects.
Among other remarkable instances
of wind force he reported that “a
rock weighing 18,000 pounds and
having 35 square feet of exposed sur
face, was moved 7 feet. “A pine log
weighing 1,200 pounds and with 35
square feet of exposed surface,
was carried a quarter of a mile.”
“A pine board was driven through a
telegraph pole.” “A bale of cotton
weighing 500 pounds was carried a
quarter of a mile.” The Sergeant
observer calculates the following de
gree of force for the relative velocity
of the wind : Pressure, 20.9 pounds
per square foot of exposed surface,
velocity, 73.3 miles per hour; 30.5
pounds, 78.1 miles; 77.7 pounds, 126.4
miles. He further estimates thatsome
of the Iresults could not have been
produced by a wind traveling at a less
velocity than about 700 miles an
hour. .
Bridging the British Channel.-If
the projected tunnel under the chan
nel between England and France
proves impracticable, M. Vernard de
Saint Anne, of the French Academy,
still holds out the hope of a dry-shod
railroad between the two countries.
He shows, from the accepted hydro
graphical charts, the existence of a
series of sand banks between Grave
lines and Ramsgate, over which the
water is only ten feet deep. With a
little coaxing by engineers he thinks
the natural forces that have raised
these banks would soon lift them out
of the water, affording a dry road
way, and leaving only a few gaps—
the largest only a mile wide—to be
bridged.

Special to the Times by 8. k A. Liue.)
Fort Valley, Ga., April 12.—A
lodge of tho Knights of Pythias,
known as Walden Lodge No. 19, was
instituted hero last night by Col.
Thomas Hardeman, Jr., Grand
Chancellor of the State, and Mr. D.
B. Woodruff, Grand Vice Chancellor
of the World, assisted by several
Past Chancellors from Macon. Wal
den Lodge No. 19 K. of P. has been
instituted with the most flattering
prospects for the future, is composed
of the very best material, and is des
tined to become a lodge as live and
flourishing as any in tho State at an
early day. The first, second and
third ranks were conferred on four
teen charter members last night, aud
the following named officers were
regularly installed to tho respective
offices: E. T. Byington, Past Chan
cellor; G. W. Byington, Chancellor
Commander; A. L. Miller, Vice

Master of Finance; S. B. Brown,
Prelate; W. B. Mathews, Master-at-
Arms ; W. C. Winslow, Inside Guard

The work consumed the entire
night. Tho lodge having been duly
instituted and the officers installed,
the Knights repaired to the hotel,
where refreshments in the way of a
sumptuous meal were partook of at
5 o’clook in the morning.
Hon. Thos. Hardeman, in reponse
to a call to reply to an address blade
by Col, Winslow, made some beauti
ful and very appropriate remarks.
Having had some previous intima
tion that he would be expected to say
something relative to gubernatorial
affairs, lie said in his address that lie
came not here in tho interest of him
self, but in the interest only of the
noble order which he had the honor
to represent and because it was his
duty. His political aspirations seem
ed to have been forgotten during the
entire two days ho remained with us.
Mr. Woodruff was also called upon
to address tho assembly, and as tho
day was then dawning he arose and
said, “Well, Brother Knights, I
care not to detain you, for I uow see
the gray streaks of day in the eastern
horizon, and if we remain hero much
longer I fear the citizens of Fort Val
ley will think sure enough that we
all are K-nights.” B.

New York, April I*2.—A special
from Wiudsor, Vermont, gives an
interview with Miles, alias White, in
the State prison there for bank rob
bery. He was tho cracksman in the
safe burglary business at Washing
ton. He says he was hired by Har
rington to do the job. He was sont
for by Col. Whiteley, who gave him
an idea of what was wanted, and
sent him to Nettleship for particu
lars. Whiteley said there was an in
vestigation on foot at Washington,
which would eventually implicate
some of the prominent officials of the
District aud National Governments,
and these officials wanted to have tho
force of tho investigation broken.
Nettleship told him that the plan
was to get cortuin books and papers
that were in the District Attorney’s
office at Washington into tho posses
sion of Columbus Alexander, and to
break open the District Attorney’s
safe and take them to Alexandria
house. The suggestions and details
came from Harrington.
Miles afterwards was inclined to
backout, but was assured by Har
rington and General Babcock that
all promises made to him would be
stoutly adhered to. Babcock knew
all about it. A prominent Washing
ton official was also mentioned by
Miles as a party to the job, but his
name is kept secret for the present.
President Grant, Miles thinks, was
ignorant of the whole thing. The
job was originated by Babcock.

AND THE CRY OP HUMBUGGED MINERS IS
“BUSTED”—NOT A SINGLE AUTHENTIC
REPORT OP GOLD IN PAYING QUANTI
TIES.
Special Correspondence of the St. Louis Times.]
Cheyenne, W. TANARUS., March 31. —The
great rush of crazy men to the Black
Hilis continues, and the number of
disappointed men is on the increase.
Although during tho latter part of
the last week they came in
more slowly, it was only on account
of the severity of the weather; but
immediately at the beginning of the
week the rush of intatuated gold
seekers recommenced. The town is
flooded with gamblers, fancy wo
men, and roughs of all classes, hut
the absence of shooting and disturb
ing thopoaoo is something uulooked
for in a town of this kind. People
are not allowed to carry concealed
weapous, and the.rute is strictly en
forced by the police, as they receive
three dollars for every arrest they
make. The average Black Hiller is
determined to go to the Hills in the
faco of severe storms and discourag
ing reports from that vicinity. They
have started and are determined to
go through or "bust;” the truth is,
the majority are “busted” before
they reach the Hills. Hundreds of
men are here out of employment and
are eager to work for a meal’s victuals
while hundreds of others feel that
they have been completely sold, but
are ashamed to return.
REPORTS PROM THE HILLS.
Most of tho reports now received
are fabrications of lying rascals hired
especially for the purpose at the
different outfitting points, ami also
of returned miners who say they are
going back, when in truth they have
no such intention. Your correspond
ent met a party just in from the Hills
last .Saturday, who has been there
since the first of last Hoptember, and
at work all winter until three weeks
ago. He stated that he was on his
way East and would return in a
month or two. Ho had a blanket
and a carbine that he wished to sell.
Upon inquiring if he found any gold,
ho explained he had in two different
places, but before stating anything
further he asked me if I was an old
miner. I satisfied him that I was
not, whereupon he said ho found
twenty-five cents to the pan in one
prospecting hole and forty cents to
tho pan in another. I told him I did
not know much about mining, but if
I could strike sixty cents to the pan
I would work in mud waist deep and
not go home until I hud a good pile
to go with. I further told him ttiat I
thought if he would keep that story
up he could sell his blanket and car
bine. Upon inquiring if he had any
gold with him, he said he had, lint
stated I was too inquisitive. Another
gentleman showed a specimen and
said it would yield S6OO to the ton,
but could not tell where his claim
was, and had to acknowledge ho was
cornered. Still anotherburlyand dir
ty looking frontiersman who occupied
a conspicuous corner in Oheyonne,
stated he had a claim in which he
could realize $25 to SSO to tho day
for every man that he would put to
work in it, but would not state where
it was, as he was “afeered” too
many would go there. He stated
that he iust came back last week.
Upon inquiring among different par
ties in the city I found this dirty old
greaser had been in Cheyenne con
tinuously for the last six months. I
might goon and relate to you a hun
dred other different stories of ttie
same sort, which you can read daily
in the newspapers. Still there are
fools enough ready to start to the
Hills who will never hesitate until
thev go and see for themselves. I
base my opinion upon tho return of
old miners and not upon the few
"tender feet” who go in there with
out money and soon return homesick
and desperate. It is true there are
many of the latter class, and they
have no person to blame but them
selves, for no man should start to
the Hills with less than from S3OO to
SSOO as it will take all of that to car
ry him the round trip. Log cutting
is one dollar a day in tho Hills and
the price still decreasing. The re
port is circulating here that a store
in Custer was broken open by a lot
of desperate and starving miners,
who took almost everything. A
merchant in Cheyenne, who has a
branch store there, expressed to me
his fears about its safety a few days
ago. Now the qustion is, how can
the people in the East hear tho true
story when the different outfitting
points have their committees ap
pointed, to hire the different news
paper reporters to lie about the Hills
and their respective localities? Many
correspondents
ARE LIVING IN BIG STYLE
here, but how they pay sl2 per week
for board and spread around gener
ally on $8 letters is something tho
avorage native cannot tell. It is
pretty well understood, however,
amongtlie knowing ones that they
reooivo money trora committees
appointed by tho for
tho purpose of buying up reports and
circulating lies generally about the
Hills and places in which’ they luxu
riate. These reporters never leave
tho towns, nevertheless, they send
dispatches direct from the Black
Hilis of their marvelous richness
and the beautiful valleys surround
ing them. We took
. A RUN UP TO SIDNEY
the other day, and like all outfitting
points litte Sidney is making a dos
perate effort to leap to the front. She
has also a hired reporter, boarding at
a sl2 per week house, whose business
it is to herald the virtues of Sidney as
a starting point, and the Black Hills
as a vast region of mineral wealth.
Any man who is making $25 to SSO
per month had bettor stay where he
is, for the stories you hear from hired
reporters about $5, $lO and on up to
$25 are aliuriug lies thrown out as
baits to the eager gold seeker. And
it is all done for the benefit of these
starting points and the railroads on
which they are situated. It costs you
to return $24 from Cheyenne to Oma
ha. Although it may be cheap going
into the Hills, you will find it like a
church festival, as it will cost you
five times as much to got out.
A FIRST-CLASS FRAUD.
We have formed an impartial con
clusion about the amount of gold in
the Black Hills, and bast) our belief
on the reports of old and experienced
miners wno have been at work there
since the first excitement, and we
have concluded that it is the biggest
rraud ever perpetrated on the honest
masses during the last century. They
all report indications of gold, but
nothing that will pay. It will take
$5 expenditure to secure $1 in gojd,
but they state that if the miners will
go into the Big Horn country, 250
miles west of tho Black Hilis, they
possibly may strike paying gold
thore. There is no certainty even
about that country; it is ail conjec
ture. Bed rock in tho Hills has been
struck in several places without llnd
iug paying gold. There is no water
to work their claims even when they
do find indications, and where there
is water it will take from SSOO to
$1,500 t.o build sluices to work it.
There are plenty of men who .say
they will go, any way; to all such I
say start immediately, but, take mo
ney enough along to return on, for
every mile West you travel your
opinion of gold in that locality will
weaken.
On Tuesday at 1 o’clock the Com
mittee on Ways and Moans, by a
strict party vote, finished the Tariff
hill and ordered the chairman to re
port it to the House. There was a long
wrangle over the tea and coffee clause
and, by way of compromise, the
chairman proposed to reduce the tax
on tea to 5 cents per pound and on
coffee 2 cents. This was voted down
by 0 to E, Blaine and Kelley, Repub
licans, voting aye; aud 4 Democrrts.
Tho next proposition was to strike
tea aud coffee from tho bill, which
was carried by a vote of 6 to 5.
