An Indian correspondent Of the London
Globe has recently pointed out that the cochi-
neal inscct-thc dye Of which is ut present,
with the exception Of 4 small quantity im-
ported from Madeira, entirely derived from
South Americas found oyer q Tast tract Of
country in British India. 1t was introduced
in 1901, when the lac insect was unknown, and
coclsinca1 was worth 81 pound By a gentle
man by the name Of Dawson, tempted By a
prize offered By the East India Company.
Tic cactus, on which alone the insect. -four
ishes, grows profuBe1y throughout the south
western provinces q the 1hd an so.nds1 Rsni1su
tended over eight hundred miles Of country !;
but, as no persons who understood how to
prepare tile article for market had been intro
duccd with the cochincal insect, the CONNER
citl Speculation completely failed: In the
course Of time, the cochincal insect extended
from Fort St. George, where it was landed,
1000 miles inland. Here it is now found in a
Wild state, hut the natives have not get
learned how to use it for coloring silk and

The Wisdom of Solomon---A Pencil
Sketch.
fFrnm tho Eauknkee Tll,> Eazcttc1

Solomon Sturgcs, the man who thinks the
Chicago TRIBUNE lacks ''humi1ity," WIS in
the city last week. Solomon, like his Illus
trious predecessor, is possessed Of much
worldly goods. While at the depot, he exhibit
ed q fine looking gold pencil and pen, which
he had obtained from a polite stranger whom
he met at hotel not 4 thousand miles from
Urbana. He saw it in the polite strangers
hands, and Immediately commenced to preach
the polite strangcr a sermon upon obtaining
wealth; told him there was too much capital
laying idle, not remuneratiyc; that be used
pencil that cost two cents, that WAS just as
good rs that one which cost twenty dollars.
Stranger then told Solomon he Was aware Of
his remarks, and that the pencil was pawned
to him on the cars for three dollars, about ak
months ago, and lad not been redeemed, and
would moi he. Solomon told polite stranger,
that, aB it cost him three dollars, he would
give him four for it, and would make it a pre-
sent to Col Mulligan- Stranger took four
dollars, and Sol. pocketed the prize. It WIS
such good trade, he told Of it at the depot.
The gold il it was worth fifteen dollars Net
profits, eleven dollars. Solomon put his spec
tacles On to examine it, and found that the
polite stranger had undoubtedly been imposed
upon when the pencil was pawncd to him fol-
three dollars, as it was plated, and never cost
over seven Bhillings. Solomon should moi
trade with polite strangers not thousand

T The good people Of Montreal, having
Just got in operation their first street railroad,
have fallen straightway at 1oggerheaas, and
broken out Into columns Of communications in
the daily papers, because the cars will run on
Sunday. 1fthe experience Of Chicago Is worth
anything to our Canadian neighbors, they may
as well learn from US TINT they are suffering
under one Of the diseases Of infaneg, incident
to all street railroads. It will soon pass off
with mild treatment One thing is settled
here, as In other cities, that a population who
must and will get about On Sundays, are not
to be made better by cutting off their means
Of communication. Our church-goers hare
come to reckon horse-cars among their Sab

Che country. let US look sl,i.s material
aspects! -
We are mighty people. Thirty
une millions Of Inhabitants. more intel
ligen. and enterprising than the same
number in any part of the world. form
the basis OF our prosperity. This num-
Der will increase about two millions a
year for the next Ten years, giving us
in 1870, a population of ff;y millions
in the United States.
Fifty or thirty millions of ireemen
can not be suppressed. Come what
may, war or peace, this country must
grow. and develop, and become mighty.
And it becomes us 20 prepare for the
magnificent future before us.
Slavery has probably already receiv-
ed death blow from the traitors of the
South, and will ultimately die Of its
incurable wound. This disturbing ele
ment out of the way, and the turbulent
spirits which fcment treason dead and
buried in infamy, and 'here opens up a
prospect of unparalleled prosperity be-
fore us.
In this great failure Kansas is to act
a prominent part. Her central lcca
ton, rich soil and favorable climate
will speedily give her a position of emf
nence; and in her bounds, the capital
of the nation may We, be located.
Let us be equal to the destiny which
seems 10 be blosso;ning for Us, ana SO
conduct our affairs as 10 bling the ripe
fruit within our grasp. We hope our
young State will not suffer herself to
be controlled BY demagogues and dis
poiled by rapacious Office seekers, but,
by wisdom in the selection of rulers.
secure the real good and permanent
welfare of all her citizens, and the de-
yeIopment of immense her resources.
