More Rioting.

Its reported that company OF. some
thirty Missourions, led on by Nc. Gee,
visited the AMERICAN HOTEL, in Kansas
City, on Sunday last, and made demon
stration TO destroy the building, because
of its being the property of the Emigrant
Aid Company, and, as they allege, the
headquarters, of abolitionists. A gen.
tleman who was setting on the outside of
the house. in reply to an interrogatory,
said he was from New England, when he
was severely pommeled. The landlord
being called for, appeared through his
wife, who claimed that she was ready to
fight the ,chole crosrd, if that was what
they desired. Thespifit of eAipalry was
revived in their brave hearts; and instead
of rushing on to "victory or death. " we
find them beating an inglorious retreat

cordially united on some points, that union
does not extend to ALL. Thus, tie vital
question of slavery is left unnoticed, because
in Massachusetts, for instance, the Know
Nothings have declared for emancipation,
while in other States they support the Flu
gitive Slave Law. Again, the annexation
of Cuba and other territories is not alluded
to, probably because every extension of ter
ritory inhabited by men Of the Spanish race
and the Roman Catholic faith must tend to
weaken the national American character of
the Union.
If these are the established principles Of
the Know Nothing party, we cannot but
regard them with considerable sympathy.
We have ever watched with sincere admira-
tion the progress of the United States, as
long as it is directed to those legitimate OBJ
Jects which are to be found within the mag
nhcent territories of the Union. A less
favorable opinion of their policy and condi-
ton has only been formed and expressed in
Europe when public opinion in the United
States was misled by iactious agitators. or
msdlrected to objects Incompatible with the
rights OF others. The strength OF the Union
aud the peace of the world would be pro-
tected and secured by policy which pro-
fesses to concentrate the strength of the
American people on American Objects
The language of the new party appears to
us to be patriotic and wise, and far more
nearly akin to the true principles Of the
founders of the commonwealth than the
scandalous attempts of the modern demo-
Gratis to court popularity at the expense of
honesty and honor The Know Nothings
owe their existence to a reaction against
the follies and excesses Of X ossuth meetings,
Of Irish journalism, Of the Rcmish priests,
and of Mr.. Pierces ministers; ard it is not
improbable that they will succeed in con-
stituting the next government of the United
States, as they have already returned ma
jority to the new Congress"

The ArfesInn Well.

One of the most extraordinary things in
Paris-or, indeed, in the world Is the arte-
sian well of Grenelle. 1t was begun in
1884, and finished after several forced sus-
pensions about the year 1871. 1t is bored
in the center of the Court of Abbatoir,
goes | 200 feet into the bowels of the earth,
and the column of water, nine inches in di-
amater, rises in copper tube liz feet above
the surface. From this elevation it de-
scends by means of another tube to the
ground, and is conducted to the reservoir at
the Pantheon, whence it is distributed for
the use Of theinhabitants. The temperature
OF the water is constantly 500 Fahrenheit.
1t holds several salts in solution. among the
rest, (which colors glass submitted to its
action and is highly charged with carbon
ic acid gas. Now, what is most interesting
about this we'll is, that the facts developed
by it, it being the deepest yet bored have
served to explode the old doctrine that such
wells were mere examples of jet of water
having its head on some mountain or high
table land, passing nnder ground and spring
ing through the outlet mp to the height of
its head.
The force that drives a column of water
up to an elevation Of 1900 feet, and with
such rapidity as to supply 100000 gallons
in "a hours; the force that shows itself to
be variable sometimes comparatively quiet,
at Others almost terrible in its violence, is
thought to be volccnic, and to result from
expansion within the inner crust of the
earth-to be, in fact, a sort of explosive
escape from an artificial valve in the i'm
mense steam boiler on whose surface we
live
When the well was first opened, and be-
fore the water was carried to its present
height vast quantities OF mud came ont,
from which the height of the column now
clarifies it. But for a while the residents in
the city were greatly alarmed, thinking that
the ground on which they lived was being
gradually undermined by the action Of the
water, and that some day they would be en-
quilted This notion has I0ng ceased to aialm
them, as it is evident that the augur Las
pierced through the rocky exterior into the
very interior, the soft central mass of the
earth, whence the detritus that frightened
the Parisians proceeded, and not, as they ig-
norantiy imagined, from just beneath their
/ houses

NEW oRK, April Ii, 1899.
DEAR SIR: am very happy to reply to
the inquiries contained in your favor OF the
10th inst.
An Association Of gentlemen has been
formed in this City, under the name of the
Nicaragua Land and Mining Company"
the object Of which is to settle upon and i'm
prove some lands granted by the Nicaragua
Government, and others purchased OF clti-
zens of that Republic, and to work the
mines that may be found thereon, which are
supposed to be very valuab.e-to cultivate
some Of the lands, and to cut mahogany and
Nicaragua wood, for export, &c.
In time, we hope to establish freight and
passenger boats on the river and lake, to
build some villages and hotels for the ac-
cOmmOdation Of travellers, and. in fine, to
settle and clear up the country, and bring
its productions into market.
This Association has no connection
with the "Central American COMPANY, -
whose interests are all in the Mosqulta
Territory, and who have an entirely sepa-
rate organization.
A considerable portion of the lands has
been obtained from Mr.. Fabens, our present
Consul at San Juan, who has made large
purchases from individuals, and who is IL
terested with us.
| am confident that the enterprise will be
very profitable one, and it is liable to no
objections such as you refer to. Our grants
are good and sanctioned by the laws of the
Government of Nicaragua, under whose au-
thorlty we expect to hold our lands, and we
hope to be of material service to that coun-
try by developing its resources, cutting
canals, making roads, and establishing com
mercial relations with Europe and the Unit
ed States
The vegetable productions of the country
are very valuable, comprising tobacco,
cocoa, Nicaragua wood, mahogany, &C.,
and the lndia-rubber tree, in the greatest
abundance
The mineral resources are known to be
extremely rich in gold, and silver, and coal,
which last will be Of very great Importance
and the beds Of which lie extremely con-
venient and accessible.
l should be very glad to have you take
an interest IN our enterprise, and Will read
lily afford you any other information in my
power.
Ii industry and perseverance can reclaim
a country and repay exertion, we hope to
show something worth while within two
years or less. Yours very truly.

Col. II. L. KINNEY Dear Sir: I have
learned, from the public journals and other
wise, that you are connected with an enter
prise or Association having in view certain
schemes with regard to Central America or
some part Of it. Would you be kind enough
to inform me in general of the object OF this
Association, if you are connected with it,
and Of its character and plans ?
| donot ask from mere curiosity, but with
a desire to obtain Information that may
guide me in some contemplated movements
Of my own.
In the first place, would like to know if
this Company, it there be one, is the Gen
tral American Company" with which your
name has been connected, or is it new one
on another basis.
| should be inclined, perhaps, to take an
interest if desired, in an enterprise which
might be legally and safely engaged in, and
which promises a reasonable return.
| should wish, however, to be assured that
there was no such objection possible to be
made to it as that Of ''flibustering," and
that everything contemplated was legal and
safe, as well as likely to be remunerative.
Ii your convenience and interest permit
an answer to my inquiries, it would much
oblige, Very respectfully, your
friend and Cbto'C { servt.

SIMPLICITY OF Prentice, the ed
itor Of the Louisville Journal, speaks thus
to his readers: Those who think that. in
order to dress well it is necessary to dress
extravagantly and gaudily, make great
mistake. Nothing so well becomes true
feminine beauty as simplicity. We have
seen many remarkably fine person robbed
OF its fine effect by being over dressed
Nothing is more unbecoming than overload
ed beauty. The simplicity of the classic
taste is seen in old statues and pictures
painted by men of very superior artistic gen.
ius. In Athens, the ladies were not quad
lly' but simply arrayed, and we doubt
whether any ladies ever excited more ad-
So also the noble old Roman
matrons, wbose sup.rb forms were gazed
on delightedly by men worthy Of them were
always very plainly drsss1d. Fashion often
presents the lines OF the butterfly, but fash
