Letters from Lawrence, OK. r. of
july 9th, give a dismal account of the
prospect for the crops in Kansas.
They state that it is now over ten
months since anything like rain has
Fallen. In the winter there was no
snow and thus far, this summer,
there have been 10 dcws. 1t is a
wonder that even the trees can live.
No tame grass is alive anywhere, and
the prairie grass is dry enough to burn
on all bat the bottom lands. Not a
pound Of tame hay will be cut, and
there Is general fear now that moth
ing Will be produced to sustain stock
during the coming winter. 1t is diff
cult in many places to find feed for
cattle at present. If these times con-
Time, there will be no way possible
to save them, except to drive them
ont Of the Territory to some more IA
vorcd land. Not half the corn that
was planted has come up, and that
little is struggling between life and
death and the same may be said of
all other crops except in some parts
OF Southern Kansas. These accounts
are much stronger than those given
Ivy thcpapcrs. The same letters state
that the heat also is remarkable.
Every day for nearly two weeks the
thermometer has exceeded 1907 in the
shade. Every day hut two it has
been above 1922, and twice it has
reached 1852. Such weather is most
languishimg, and all classes seem to
suffer equally under it.

 WASHINGTON, January l6.-The Senate to-day went into an election for printer to that body, when the threatened attack upon Bowman and the Organ was made with intense bitterness, and the country will see with entire justice. Senator Brown denounced Bowman and the Con stitution newspaper in the plainest terms possible. He charged and produced eyi- dence to prove that Bowman, while Su- perintendent of the public printing, be- came directly interested in the profits of the business. He spoke of the con tract by which the Consultation was to be kept up, as dirty transaction of which he washed his hands. This thing" he said, 'called the organ-this miserably corrupt thing styled the Consultation, he despised, and spurned the whole con cern." He was not sure they needed an organ, but if we must have one, then let it be decent paper conducted by de- cent men, When he sat down, Mir. Hale dryly asked if some one a peg higher than the Attorney General was not cognizant of this contract? Senator Brown gave his shoulders a most expressive shrug, and said he didn't know-Halc's hit was palpable, and every one in the Chamber laughed.

 FROM FL MONTE TO LOS ANGELES.
 Los ANeELEs, Nov. 29th
 After ride of ten miles through one of the hardest rains ever saw, we reached this village, and were soon domiciled beneath che hospitable roof of the Bella Union. We arrived there on the 27th, but have not been able to stir out on account of the heavy rains that have prevailed Los Angeles is a beautifully situated city oi some ten thousand inhabitants, the greater por- ton being of Spanish extraction and one can hardly realize the fact that he is standing in the midst of an American city, when he gazes upon every side aud sees so many Spanish buildings and hears every one speaking the Spanish language.
 From all accounts of this place, one is natu- rally led to believe that it stands upon the shores of the mighty Pacific. This is mis- take. IL is eighteen or twenty miles from here to the coast, with a range of high towering hills intervening.
 Los Angeles is place of decided business proeliyities, it being the headquarters of the Salt Lake trade six months in the year. The Southern route from Salt Lake to California being the only one that can be travelled during the months of November, December, January February, March, April and May, on account of the deep snows upon the mountains between Salt Lake and Fort Bridger, and Carson Valley and Placerylle. At this time, there are many trains fitting outfor the Valley ofthe Saints witt dry goods and groceries, and we passed several on the deserts, en route for this point.
 The heavy trains have caused the Overland | from San Francisco tolose thrty-six hours, anC prospect of many more between hereand youl city. As soon as look around and procure some items of interest, shall write you again
