Plant Corn.

We will again urge upon our readers the
necessity OF planting corn. The indica-
tions are that corn will command 4 high
price this fall and winter, and that We shall
have favorable season for that crop the
coming summer. The present demand
will use up all the corn in the country,
north, south, east, and west, and the scare
ity Of labor, The maintenance Of an army,
the destitution of the south, and the mar
ket west. will combine to make the coming
corn crop OF Kansas an important and
profitable one. Let no ground lay idle.

Gentlemen of the Conveation ~ ours is

you the people.
was, as you are aware, elected United
States Senator, by that Legislature.
Since then, that election has entered or
been forced into every political conflict.
If there be one merit which may claim
it is that of earnestly and industriously y
guarding the rights and interests of the
State, and will not endanger or sacrifice
either by causing or continuing in it a
mere personal issue.
4 feel it to be my duty therefore, to re-
sign, as I now do, all claims to the Office
of United States Senator into the hands of
1.-The people. THOs. GARNET.
Now, whether this be done In good
spirit OF not, it at least is good act Ev-
cry good citizen of Kansas must have de-
plored the bitter political fight and unne-
cessary commotion into which the State
was thrown by the Senatorial action of tile
last Legislature. This action of Governor
CaEney's may have been adopted as Gun
ming political move, with which to throw
the people off their guard, thereby making
. it an easy thing to run iG Carney Leg
islature this fall, or it may have been done
in the spirit of good Governor who sees
the trouble that has grown and is growing
out Of the recent attemptto foist him upon
the people without first consulting them,
asd desirous of peace and quiet in his
State he withdraws from the field. Let US
hope that his motives are founded In the
latter spirit. Previous to last winter, in
his official capacity as Governor, Thomas
Carney did we'll this none can deny.
Few if any papers or persons had ought
to say against him; not until the Senate
rial Swindle was perpe,rated, was there
any more political strife or turmoil in Kan
sas during his administration, than is in.
cident to any of our Free States. How
the people felt about the Senatorial elec.
ticn, '~e all know, how the; repudiate and
reject the perpetrators we now see. Does
any of the ''60" derive comfort from read
ing the proceedings of the recent State
Convention. Did they not dig their poit-
ical graves last winter has not Carney's
withdrawal pitched them into it? and did
not the Convention ill up the holes ana
set up the tomb stones? You who would
betray constituency fer personal motives
are satisfied by this time that last winters
swindles have been to the people and had
"hearing." Now are you, satisfied?

4 SUBMARINE VESSEL OF WAR.-Expe-
riments were made recently in the port Of
Rochelle to test the qualities of submarine
vessel of war, the invention of Captain
Bourgeois. Of the French navy. The vessel
was stated to be so constructed as to admit
of being almost instantly submerged BY COM
pressed air and a peculiar apparatus with
which it was provided. The only part re-
mains visible is Il small tower, whence the
commander may observe the position and
motions of the ship to be attacked, and di-
rect his men which way to steer in order to
strike her hull with the formidable spur
which constitutes the chief means Of attack
of the new contriyance. The experiments,
however, were not satisfactory more than an
hour elapsed before the new vessel got under
water with an indolent see-saw motion. She
slowly performed the whole distance from
one end Of the port to the other, and then
yeCred round to return. On nearing the
starting point she very nearly ran foul of
one of the vessels i'll the port, whereby the
power other spur would have been tested in
rather an unexpected and unwelcome man
ner. A letter from La Rochelle contains
some further details relative to the subma-
rine boat Plongeur. She does not draw more
than eight feet Of water, her engine is eighty
horse power, steam is replaced by compress
ed air, and her steam is replaced by COM
pressed air, and her crew OF twelve men are
completely protected from all danger. The
Plongeur is intended to be formidable en-
CINE Ofdestruction. Her spur is formed like
tube, and an incendiary shell may be placed
in it. Should an enemy's feet be at an an
Choir the Plongeur will drive into the nearest
ship, and then retreat, unrolling at the same
time a metallic wire. When at a safe distance
an electic spark will cause great explosion,
the enemy's ship being blown up.

None of the others could consent to quit

for none like them. They frequented no
cafes. They never set foot in theatcr. Drear-
lily, monotonously. they plodded from morn
ing till night, Sundays and week days, year
after year, ill-clad, worse paid. Why could
they not have logged round and round the
same circle elsewhere, under all American
as well as under n French roof? There was
something in the fetid, reeking atmosphere
here, which poisonous as it was) suited bet

which daylight penetrates only in some faint,
sickly, faded rays, where the stones which
pave the floors are murky even in the dog
days, and where the porter and his wife do
nothing but gaze in listlcss vacancy at the
people who climb the stairs, or reply absent
mindedy to the postman who brings the let
ters. or the errand-boy who enquiries the fiat
to which he is bound, or answer the Gordon

cuddy since Charles KS reign. They have
seen none of the new monuments or thor
oughfarcs which give Paris its splendor.
Yet offer them a comfortable cottage hun
dred miles from Paris-they will turn up
their noses at you. Live and die in Paris is
The dream of all Frenchmen, except the noble
race Of Normans and OF Auyergnats, who love
their native provinces with Swiss warmth
of affection. To live in Paris, to call them
selves Parisians, to share this feverish exist
ence, all Frenchmen toll for on the banks of
tho Rhone and the GarOnne, of the Indus, OF
the Bosphorus, Of the China Sea and the Pa
citic Ocean. So Frenchmen in the days OF
Louis XIV. burned to live at Versailles.
There is something strange in seeing whole
nation share this Neutrality-suspicious.

GREAT Works OF AHTIQUITY.-The size
of the stones forms no part of the wonder OF
the pyramids. There are many structures
in the world containing much larger mono
liths, and modern architects frequently use
stones larger and heavier than any i'll the
pyramids. The largest courses Of stones IN
Cheops are only four feet ten inches In thick
ness, and the stones vary in length from four
TO eight feet. There arc some stones III the
interior, roofing the passages and chambers,
which are larger, but these are not much
heavier than the slabs we frequently see car
ricd along and placed on the sidewalks in
front of new buildings, as pavement, and also
roofing for the vaults under the street The
wonder of the great pyramid is that such a
vast mass of stones should be piled up; but
it is not to be doubted that If any one cared
to spend few million dollars in America, 4
facsimile of the pyramid Of Cheops could be
erected here to-day. Much greater wonders
are found in the monolithic statues Of Egypt,
and in the columns of the great hall Of har-
max. The ruins of Thcbcs are but few in
number, living in detached places, two niles
or SO apart on one side of the hill and about
the same on the other side. The monolthic
statues, one Of which lives in tradition as
the vocal MemnOn, are indeed wonderful re-
mains of the grandeur of ancient art, and so
are nearly all the Theban ruins. No archi-
tect of modern times would undertake to
build one column Of the twelve great columns
of Karnak. Each OF these is a column Of
twelve feet in diameter and nearly ninety
feet high-made of sections of stone piled
one on the other. The great stones of an
cient art are found at Baalbec in Syria. The
Roman ruins there over-lie the remains OF
Cyclopean age. History and tradition are
silent as to the men who hewed those grand
est remaining memorials of the days Of giants.
Ten stones in one course, side by side, are
each about thirty feet long, thirteen feet
high, and ten feet six inches in thickness.
At right angles with this court is another Of
six similar stones about the same size as the
former, and on these six stones lie the three
great monoliths OF ancient workmanship
These three stones measure in gross one
hundred and cighty-nine feet in length
each being sixty three feet long, thirteen
feet high, and about the same thickness. No
man knows who hewed them and laid them
there. A fourth stone, Of the same general
dimensions, lies in a quarry mile distant,
whence it was never removed. Doubtless it
has lain there more than three thousand
years

HEAyISG WEIGHTs.-In the recent exhi-
bition of athletic sports among the gentle
men of Oxford University, in England, Mr..
Coventry heaved the heavy stone, weighing
twenty-onc pounds, a distance of. thirty-five
feet. The second best heave was thirty-three
feet. In throwing the heavy hammer, weigh
ing sixteen pounds, Mr.. Morgan flung it
eighty-three feet 2 inches while Mr.. Coven-
try threw it seyenty-four feet three inches.
The best mile was run by Mr.. Hamman in
four minutes fifty-eight seconds. A high
jump was made of FIVE feet three inches, and
long jump of eighteen feet and one-half an
inch. A Mr.. Gooch was winner Of both Of
these.

And tramplc on mighty land;
The people crouchcd before his beck,
His iron heel was on their neck,
His name shone bright through blood and pain,
His sword flashed back their praise again.
Isaw another ruler rise
His words were noble, good and WISE
With the calm sceptero of his pen
He ruled the minds and thoughts of men,:
Some scoffed, some praised-while many heard,
Only few obeyed his word.

Love and sweet pity were his law;
The greatest and the least had part

Rose up and drove him from the land!
