'<•> k .'.: t'.at I S e th?m go, like the i v ' .;i.es th»t used to actually stop

the t.rst railroads across tbe

sam-j time. The road in 1670 was sixty-two miles long and its gross earnings $132,560 and now it has over 1,200 miles in operation, runs its cars over 2,443 miles, aud its receipts for 1S79 were $6,333,4-17. Such, in brief is tbe story of this greut enterprise which, though makiDg bat little noise,and raising no Credit Mobilier scandals, has been creeping steadily onward to its destination—a result of which every American may well feel proud and from which must inevitably uccruegreat bent-Dts to the country at large.

As we approached central and western Kansas the cultivated farm.*, and comfort­able dwellings began to grow less frequent,

well under the plow, for $15 to j25 per acre, j and finally nothing but little ranchmen's

(,

Corn yields from 30 to SO bushels to the acre according to tillage, and a fair average crop of wheat is 20 bushels to tbe acre, while 45 buihela are frequently raised, under extra tillage. The ceuntry appears to be healthy. One man declared that during * 12 years' residence In Pettawatamie county, with a family of four aud fire, bis doctor's bill bad only been four dollars and a half.

The people of this part of Kansas ought to be tbe happiest on earth, but yet there ap­pears to be an all-pervading s»ber aspect dif­ficult to account for, For instance: in all this city of 17,500 inhabitants, with a fine stream ten times as large as tbe Saranac

Aud the people kept rushing up and buy­ing his stuff as he thus went on. All this would indicate that there might be seme foundation for the bile theory. Kansas has a new strict liquor law wbicb tbey are trying ta enforce. In reply to an inquiry what its provisions are, one said be believed tbe pen­alty of smelling at the cork of a bottle con­taining anything stronger than milkman's milk was initant death. And then a wickr ed little newsboy pip-id up an i declared that

est agricultural States iu the Union—as some enthusiastic admirer puts it, the

"Granary of the Werld." But bow about Western Kansas, as you draw near tbe great arid belt where rain ie an exception, and where scenes of suffering and privation have been enacted wbicb would hardly be deemed possible in all this broad land of plenty? Where peopl* of culture are now living, hundred* of these, in sear* hole* in the ground, or iu turf buts. Well, tbe reply is furnished thus by ene we talked with: "It is true that there has been great privation there. It is bard to think of these poor peo­ple living o o corn meal and not enoagh of that. But w a o i s to blams? There has been full warning of this lack of rain in that region, and certainly no one is more to blame than tbe man himself who emigre tee to a new country, spending hie last cent to get there, end leaving nothing to provide far a possible failure of bis nrst crop. But last year t i l a tolerably good one, and this pro­mises to be another, and a few of this kind will set these poor settlers ail up on their feet in gawd ebapa.

buts wera to be seen, and about the only thrifty settlements visible were those of the bright little prairie dogs, many of which were seen sitting upright by their mounds which thickly dotted the landscape, now growing less green, but blazing here and there witb great blotches of bright prairie flowers of all colors. All through this region there is much more than usual of green grass—a condition which is being duiy improved by herders, whose cattle were to be seen in abundance, while the frequent sight of a carcass told the story of the bitter cold and storms of last winter in wbicb so many cattle per­ished. Just after passing over the line into Colorado a good view was bad of an annual "rounding up" for the purpose of branding the calves, some ten or fifteen thousand cat-tie being seen passing iu long lines from dif­ferent directions towards the rendezvous near Granada, where there were numerous tents of the herders pitched. These annual gatherings are great occasions with the herd­ers who always calculate upon a general good time then, and a universal blow out.

For over three hundred miles we had fol-lewed the muddy, boiling Arkansas River before any perceptible bank< appeared ; then away in the distance could be seen dim lines rising a little higher than the surrounding country; gradually, as wes*ept on, boiir af­ter hour these lines drew nearer, and gradu­ally assumed the form of river plateaus; they began to multiply, and rise one above the other, away back on either side, terrace upon terrace, higher and higher, and nearer and nearer they grew until finally about 5 P. x . we rolled into Pueblo between high banks within a few hundred yards of each other, but which again expanded about the city in­to a basin some five miles long and averag­ing a mile and a half nide, which has evi­dently been washed out some fifty feet deep or more from the height of the mesa, or plain surrounding it, by the Arkansas for the occu­pancy of a great city.

F. Laware was severely injured while blasting a rock near the store of Wales Par­sons June 6th. It appears from what we can learn that he had charged a hole and used what miners terms a"swib," but which was not properly made, for as soon as he touched a match to i», and before he had time to even turn around, the charge exploded, burning and mutilating his face badly and tearing the flesh completely off from one hand, leaving nothing but the bone. X)rs. Haynes and Mitchell were summoned and alleviated his suffering as much as possible. The doctors think they can save his eyes.

It would be cruel to add to the misery of the unhappy man who in a fit of drunken recklessness pointed a pistol at bis infant child anil forever silenced it by seudlrur a bullet through its heart, nor indeed does there seem to be a roor^l in the story that his not been pointed many times already. Intemperance has prodivi-eil tinny tragedies in our own c immunity; donbtie.ss a large majority of the homicides which are record ed in the police annals may be traced to this cause. The less-ni may be taught anew and will doubtless be forgotten again speed ily cnoiiib. The foolish practice prevalent especially among jouni* persons, of playing with tire arms upon the assu. 'ption that they are not loaded, has contributed largely to the death rate of Brooklyn, and from all pirts of the country are telegraphed items of a similar character. The refrain of tlipse tuournlul records of human folly, "didn't kuow it was loaded," has passed into a bitter jVst. A boy points a gun at his sii-ter; a briu'egroom spoitively aims at his bnde; a lad thteatens his piaymate in fun, or two grown men struggle with one another over s.n iunoeent-lcoking pistol, and the reMilt is the same, death and remorse, fruitless tears and unending regrets. That a father should, with the most innocent intention, point an object bearing even the remotest resembl­ance to a weapon at his child is conceivable only upon the supposition that be was drunk, for the faintest suggestion of barm to his lit­tle one would naturally paralyze him. But in liquor tbe man loses his reasoning fac­ulties. His intelligence is benumbed and he i3 reduced to the level of a child. To warn persons never to handle weapons when they are drunk is useless, because in such a condition every consideration of reason is banished. But the men who are allowing the habit of drinking to get the better of them occasionally will do well to reflect upon the multitude of horrible possibilities that may follow upon one indulgence. The unfortunate Beck cannot recall his baby to life, but he may make t o n e atonement to his wife, to society and to his Maker by see­ing to it tbat never again will he take the first drink that may lead to drunkenness.

The above is from a recent number of that influential paper, the Brookiyu Eagle, and it is well to find in such a quarter a commend­ation of total abstinence for the drunkard; but what about those who are ou the high­road to intemperance? and what about those who are entering upon that road? Should

u the first drink that may lead to drunkenness" beshuuned by them all? And bow could our contemporary give such an account of the mischief resulting from intoxicating liquors without claiming that no sat of men have a right to make tbeir neighbors and customers wild beasts and then turn tbetn loose upon society to commit outrages and murders such as are of frequent recurrence.

correctly is essential evolves from tbe latter.

The qnestion arises what method, of teach­ing is best adapted to make easy, perfect pronunciation? No criticism is intended upon any method of leaching or upon the scholarship of anyone when we recall in­stances from our primary schools of the in­ability of very good readers and spellers to pronounce quite simple words from the spell­ing of them. In reciting a spelling lesson they would repeat tbe word and then sp-jl! it without pronouncing the syllables, so that tbey would know nothing of the re! the parts of the word to the whole word

I attribute to this manner of spell fact that tbey could seldom pronounce rightly quite common and simple words to which tney were unaccustomed. Should not tbe pupil be made to see the bearing of each syllable upon tbe word,so as to be pre­pared for the exigency of a "bard word" whenever met?

I t may be much more after the natural heart of the youthful learner to rush through the word withuut stopping to pronounce its several parts, but is it not demoralizing to his ability to become a good reader, and is it j I ) f l of his estate not a habit hard to over come? i l

Expenset for Support of Poor of Plattiburfjh for tho Month of

May, 1881 .

From the Essex County Republican. A C A R P .

Mn. LAWSTXG :—Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to commend Mr. Rogers, Agent ef the Agricultural Insurance Co. of Waterlowu, N. Y., for his gentleman­ly and candid bearing, and for the sympathy and promptnes? with which lie met my claim against the company ef $1 3o0, to my entire satisfaction, said claims growing out of the late'loss by fire of my dwelling bouse rnd contents. I repeat, thai for fair and honorable dealing, the Agricultural Ins. Co. and its agents are worthy of highest praise, and may be safely put down as second to none. PETER H. SMITH,

Wilisberongh, N. T.

„,. . „ .., , . , I. • i , estate to be divided eq.ially between the other day, "a little four year old girl came J I i 4 m i l l o r i theological teininary. JIudion into my school room. She brought a Prim- river Baptist associatien, American Baptist er, and was 'coming to school,' because there | union, Ainericjn Baptist hoiu^ mission were little girls here, and there were none at home. She was a very pretty quiet little child, in school, but was such a pet aud baby I at home. I felt uncertain of her ability to learn. However, I took her, and her Primer iu my lap, aud turned to the first lesson giv- | en about the "cat." The picture, the word, and the ot jest were a'l taike-i about, and the , little lingers would point to each one, readily. As she bad but one lesson in a day, 1 thought she might forget it: but: no, the n^x; day, when the lesson came she remembered it. For a week she lud only the word cat for her lesson, and had learned to spell it in Ibis way: cat (always naming it first] c - i t . This I theugbt would educate ber ear. At the end ef a month she could read several pages in ber book, tod every word learned she could distinguish in any other part of tbe book. In the winter little Cera was sick, but she sometimes had a lesson, and would try to oriot. Kstiy in the spring, her pap* bought ber a First Reader, which she read at home, but when she began to come again to school, she read so weli that I placed her in the Second Reader with another little girl. Nowshe prints words fairly well; and she can write num­bers as lar as 20, besides knowing something about combining numbers." This little girl, bas dose no wore than what other little children, witb like encouragement can ac-eoospliah in our school. Time it wasted iu teaching tbe letters to children, for they will learn tbesn without teaching before yon know it, if you can only make tbern interest-ad ia reading.

The temperance people of Clayton, JT. J., in convention assembled, resolved to start a "temperance hotel" and chose a committee of twenty to carry out their intention. The committee raised the sum of $3,000 and bought out a hotel, liquors and all (over $230 worth) on hand, and resolved to burn the liquors at night. They procured a "hearse" with a coffin marked "King Alchol,"a band, two loads of kindling-wood, and, with car­riages of citizens and crowds following, marched through tbe principal streets, amid the ringing of church bells, to the rear of the town-hall, where, after addresses and the doxology, theli'o'tor was burned with great rejoicing.

The Brooklyn liquor dealers were again disappointed recently by the action of the police in enforcing the Excise law. When Gen. Jourdan issued stringent order to the Police Captains a month or so ago, that he would hold them to a strict responsibility for seeing that the liquor stores in their respect­ive precincts were kept closed ou Sunday, it was supposed by those engaged in the traffic that in a few Weeks at least tbe old order of thiugs would be resumed. Such, hawever, has not been the case, and each recurring Sunday tbe llqaer dealers iind it more diffi­cult to evade the law. Most of tlnj stores were closed up yesterday, and in the excep­tional cases the in-isi. careful measures were required to evade the vigilance of the police. There were only two arrests tor violating [ the law. i

From the Hub. There is perhaps no tonic offsred to the

people that possesses as much real intrinsic value as the Hop Bitters. Just at this sea­son of the year, when the stomach needs an appetizer, or the blood needs purifying, the cheapest and best remedy is Hop Bitters. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, don't wait until you are prostrated by a disease that may take months for you to recover in.—Boston Globe.

That is a significant expt-rim-rit which the Wuodin Manufacturing Company has iuan- i gurated at Berwick, Pa., by making an agtec- ' meut with the three hotels of the placu to I pay them the equivalent of ''their probable, j pn.fit3 for a year iu the s,de of iiijuors," on : the ground that tfiey have nut applied, and ,' will not apply, for licenses. Though the J Company expects to have to p .y seieral thousand doilais, they anticipate lha' the money thus expended will indirect'y pr.ivu a ; stying to ibi-ir Urge business by increasing the moie steady and Continuniis labors of tbi'lr men. If such an arrvig-m'-nt a t h s i is narranted by the busine.ia ol a manufac­turing company, why might it nut be trjuatly profiiible, pecuniarily, for the state to close up, in large part, the poor-bouses, prisons, and public hospitals, and buy brownstone fronts, if need be, for the brewers, distillers, and liijuor-sellers, and their families, and costume and support them all from the pub­lic treasury, on condition that they desist from the sale of intoxicating liiiuors?—[Ad­vocate.

A new co-operative coloney has been founded in the .State of Tennessee, under the direction of Thomas Hughes, Esq , of England, and an association, a conspicuous feature of which is the perpetual exclusion by prohibition title-deeds of the liquor traf­fic The colony already has possession of fifty thousand acres of excellent land, and will probably add four hundred thousand more as soon as the land c->n be procured. The following is to be inserted as a prohib­itory clause in every agreement for the sale and conveyance of land by the association.

"That the said premises shall not, nor shall any part thereof, be used in whole or iu part by the said A. li., his executors, ad­ministrators, or assigns, or either or any of tuein, or by any person or persons, or cor poration, for the purpose of directly or indi-rectfror making, selling, bartering, or gi ' iug away {intoxicating liquors of any kind or under any device whatsoever."

Of the despotism of drink Thomas Carlyle says:

"No oue oppresses thee, O free and inde­pendent franchiser! But does not this stupid pewter-pot oppress thee ? N o son of Adam can bid tbee corns- or go: but ibis absurd pot ef heavy wet—this can, aud does! Thou art the thrall, not to Cedric the Saxon, but of tby own brutal appetitee aud this scoared dish of liquor; and thou pretest of tby lib­erty! Thou entire blockhead!"
