THE DROUTH IN KANSAS.

The Kansas correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune
under date Of July 18th, depicts the terrible stat,
of affairs in that Territory from drouth, as fol
lows:
For the last four or five months we have no
had rain enough to hardly wet the ground. TIL,
consequence is, there will be no crops of any kind
in Southern Kansas. Our corn is near or ouits
deadi our grass for hay is entirely out of the cues
ton, for there is none-the hot sun has entirely
destroyed it. What the people are going to dc
for something to eat, God only knows. We are
almost as bad of as Capt. Riley was in the miJst
Of the great African desert, with the burning sur
over his head and the hot earth beneath his feet
and no water, no food, and no hope in the future
at least foE us, for our crops are past cure now
Our neighbors can be seen in conversation about
what we are going to do. Why, they say, twelve
months we have prayed for rain. yet none came
seven months for a Homestead Bill. vet non,
came; and three long years for better times, and
yet no change. Hark hear me tell Gods truth

heat Of fire from a burning building.
Il have just shut the door to keep The hot wind
from blowing on me. To say that i. has not rainsd
for twelve months, would not be telling the trutb

for ourselves and cattle. Many of us have moi

3D. Unless tho great God Of Heaven sends US
mama from some place, some OF us must starve.
You remember the potato rot Of Ireland. The
kindness and l~iberality of the open hearted Amer.
leans saved poor Ireland from starvation then; and
may not the people of poor, down-trodden, long
suffering and now forsakon Kansas have a faint
hope that some Eastern American will mako the
move to have provisions and clothing forwarded
to the suffering poor of this territory. Many of
us live on milk and Indian bread-the latter al.

Coon OPINION OF ONES SELF.-If white people
sometimes think negroes incapable Of taking care
OF themselves, negroes sometimes think themselves
smarter than white people. Here is an amusing
instance
The late Chief Justice Marshall, while riding
one morning to Cour. in Ais single carriage, his
horse fell and broke a shaft. He was puzzled
what to do. Tom q neighboring negro WAGNER,
happening to drive up, he asked Tom if he could
help him out Of his difficulty.
%, yes, massa, if you'll lend me your knife.
Tom took the knife and cot a sarling pole and
a grape vine from a neighbOring thicket, with
which he speedily spliced up the broken shaft.
New, Tom said the Judge, why didn't l think
Of thatr

QUEEN vICT0RIA's FATHER.

The Duke Of Kent was the fourth son of that
narrow, bigoted, and stubborn monarch, George
Ill, and was born in 1867. His great failing
was a fatal facility of falling into debt, and the
more he was allowed for his support, the deeper
he ran into debt. This made him odious in the
sigh: of his father. He was a brave and firm
officer, and in 1894 received the thanks of the
British House of Commons and of the Irish Parlia.
ment for his gallant conduct and meritorious ser.
vice at the ca Yture Of Gaudaloupe. AZ the end of
his campaign in the West Indies he returned TO
Canada as commander.in-chie of the forces in
British America. In 1902 he was appointed Gov
ernor of Gibralter, and by his energy and frmness
succeeded IN suppressing a very formidable mutt
ny in the garrison. lie then returned to Eugland
and remained there in retirement until his debts
had so increased that he found it necessary to seek
seclusion on the continent, taking up his residence
in Brussels. This was in 1917. In 1918 he mar
ried at Coburg the Princess Leiningeu, a widow,
who was as poor as himself. They made out to
live pretty happily in a very humble style at
Amorbach, the pretty capital of the small princi-
pality of Leiningen. In due course of time it be.
came evident that the Duchess Of Kent was preg.
nant, and the Duke regarded it as Of the first i'm
portance that the child should be born in England.
But the united resources of the parents were not
sufficient to meet the expenses of crossing the
Channel. Not o member Of the royal family, when
applied to, would aid them, and il was only BY the
contributions of q few obscure and untitled friends
of the Duke of Kent, in London, that the money
was raised. The impoverished couple reached
Kensington Palace but a few days before their
daughter Victoria-the present sovereign of Great
B~ritain-was born, May "a, 1916. They returned
to Amorbach within a few months, and there in
January. 1920, the Duke died Of Inflammation of
the lungs. In politics the Duke was steady on the
liberal side, and to this fact the hostility of his
father and brothers is attributed, rather than to
his improvidence. Such being the history of his
ancestor, 1t is but natural that the Queen should
desire that her oldest son should visit some of the
scenes of her fathers exile. The treatment he re-
ceived seems to separate him from the ignoble
race of the -four Geerges.'

H GENTLE RAIN.

Like dews that fall on Iermon's hill,
And reach the thirsty plain,
The blessings of the clouds distill
In showers Of gentle rain.
The dropping flower upIift it's head,
It's spike the corn u2rears;
On every wilted field is shed
The joy of welcome tears.
All nature owns reviving part
In boon so lavish given,
As sinks to earth's exhausted heart
The bounteous need Of heaven.
On shrub and 6owor-on plain or heighth
No drop descends in vain;
Flower, forest, ield, and stream, units
To bless the gentle rain.

AN EVENING IN SUMMER.
by CHARLES q. EASTMAN.

The sun has set at last ! the sky,
That all the hot snd sitting day
Hung like a burning arch on high,
Grows, as the fierce heat dies away,
Cool and refreshing Ger the glades
The hills loom giant-like and grim,
And meadows, in the misty shades
OF night, look shadowy aud dim.
The sun is down, yet in the west
Is lingering still the days last light,
Around the hills his glory blest,
When sinking slowly from the sight;
And far above the mountain brown,
Along the dreamy azure, sleep
The email, white clouds, like tufts Of down
Upon the bosom Of the deep.
As twilight fades, how oil the earth
The night with solemn g~ladness fills!
The moon, as fair as at her birth,
When heaven is welded to the hills,
Through foecy clouds around her flung,
Wheels up beside the same sweet star,
That, with her, when the sky was young,
Looked over Ellen from afar.
Beneath the moon the wild brook learns
It's own sweet music DER the plain
Tie latent husbandman returns
Rejoicing to his home again
While from the dense old forest trees,
Where shrouded from the scorching heat
All day it slept, the evening breeze
Comes sweeping up the dusty street;
And passing on its mission goes
To cool the parched and lowered soil
To bless the faipting vine that throws
Its tendrIls round the door of toll,
And stir the myriad leaves, until
Their rising murmur swelis along
With all life's utterances, that fill
The world with a perpetual song.

THE ATALANTIC MONTHLY.
BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH voLUM

BEGINNING OF THE FIFTH VOLUME
In assuming the control of the Atlantic Month
ly, it's new proprietors deem it scarcely needful
to spend many words in assurances or promises.
The congratulations and good wishes they have
received from all parts of the country seem to JUS
tify them in the confidence that their own char
acter as publishers will be accepted by the numer=
Gus readers and friends of the Magazine as a war
rant that they will do everything in their power to
increase its interest, to enlarge its circle OF attrac-
ton, and to raise its standard of ability in oil
departments.
They think it proper to say, simply, that no
change will be made in the general character of
the magazine; that all the writer's whose cOntribu-
tions have established it in the popular favor will
continue to make it their medium Of communIca-
ton with the public; and that the relations of the
publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantic
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value of its pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be,
a sectional journal. Its publishers acknc Wedge
no parallels Of latitude in the Republic of Letters,
and, while they will judge of any article offered
them, not by the source whence it comes, but by
Its own intrinsic worth, they will at the same time
endeavor to maintain its character as a periodical
10 which earnest thinkers may find Expression,
unhampered by fear Of that narrow censorship
which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.
TERMS. = Three Dollars per dnnun, or twenty
five cents q number. Upon the receipt of the sub
s~criptiOn price, the publishers will mail the work
to any part of the United States, prepaid. Sub.
scriptions may begin with either the first or any
subsequent lumber. The postage of the Atlantic
Is t~hirsy.six cents a year, If prepaid.
The pages of the Atlantic are stereotyped, and
back numbers can be supplied.
CLUBs.-For Ten Dollars the publishers will
send five copies of the Atlantic for one year,
the subscribers to pay the postage. o
Clergymen, Teachers, and Postmasters will re-
oeive the work for Two Dollars q year.
Booksellers and Hewsmen will obtain the terms
by the hundred, ETC., upon application to The
Publishers.

nent firm OF Bradburn & Evans, of London,
printers, and proprietors of Punch and
other well known publications. has re-
Gently committed suicide in a remarkable
manner. He went to Cremorne Gardens
and spent the evening in the amusements
of that celebrated place Towards the
close of the entertainment he procured
silver for ten pound note. and going to
the front of the dancing platform, scatter
ed it amongst the crowd. He then called
for glass of grog, and having emptied
into it a phial of prussic acid, made
a speech, proposed the health of the
company. drank off his glass. and alas!
fell dead in the midst of that scene OF
riot and confusion. He was a young
man Of great ability and promise, and was
very recently presented with gold watch
by the Emperor of the French, in ac-
acknowledgement of the value Of an improve.
ment he had made in printing.
