The Vote in Leavenworth.

On Thursday of last week the citi-
zens Of Leavenworth voted on . propo.
sition to subscribe $3.50. 600 TO the
Cameron railroad. and defeated the
measure.
We fear this was a fatal result. But
we do not fully understand the inside
and outside merits Of the case. II ii
was an experimental project-one not
made safe to the county-we think they
did right to vote it down; but if suffi-
ciently guarded and secure.so that there
was no probability Of losing the amount
invested. it was most unfortunate re-
suit. Leavenworth mast have that
road.

Railroads and Bonds.
We have already exempli6ed the ad
vantsges Of railroads very clearly. bu,
there is much more to be said. Within
ten miles of railroad, the cost Of trans
porting bushel of corn TO market will
be lessened seven cents; within five
miles fifteen cents. On one thousand
bushel at seven cents the saving will be
$40: on Eve hundred bushels S35,
on three hundred bushels S2l. The
last amount will pay the railroad tax on
a quarter section of land for several
-na-e A.ss .~~.s hnshal the SAVING
will be more than double these figures.
Nearer than Eve miles the saving will
be greater: farther than ten miles it will
be less than the figures given. Then
railroads pay for themselves several
times over every year in the saving on
crops.
For instance, le, US take the three
railroads contemplated. for which the
county gives her bonds to the amount
OF S450. 900. and pays an annual inter
est Of S27 900. These roads will bring
almos, every quarter section of land in
the county within ten miles of depot;
but cay the average distance is seven
miles. This will give saving OF ten
cents bushel on corn. If each 160
acres of land-sveraging the county
over-produces bu, 800 bushels Of corn
for sale. ard but half Of them are cul-
tivated, the result will be about this ::
Que half the quarters will be about
1,l50: al 800 bushels to the quarter this
will be 345. 900 bushels; at ten cents
saving on the bushel this will be 1884,
500. Interest on bonds $4,000; ex
cess o.. 800 in favor of the road. Thus
at moderate estimate. the saving in
the transportation Of corn alone will
pay the interest and leave surplus over.
Other articles of transportation will
share like results.
The value of property will double ev-
cry Eve years for about three series Of
doublings. and then remain with a slow
tendency upwards. Immediately on
The completion of these roads. the lands
and personal property of the county
would be doubled in value. say s3.o00.-
600 on the tax duplicate. In five years
it will be six millions. in ten. twenty
four millions. and in fifteen forty eight
millions, and .hen it would steadily ad-
vance in q less rapid ratio. Fifteen
years is half the time the bonds run.
Hence forty-eight millions will be about
the average amount of taxable property
for the thirty years. But say. 10 make
it sure that it is but thirty millions. A,
ten mills to the dollar, this will give e
revenue Of $500. 900 dollars; at FIVE
mills $4,000. Half this amount or
$4,000, 900. at five mills will give US
s75.0oo-quile enough orall practical
purposes. But say it is only half OF
this or s.. 500. 900. and We still have
revenue of e37. 500.
II all three roads pay this well. one
read will pay its proportion of this
amount, no difference what part Of the
county it is in.
The policy to be pursued is then open
and plain. 1t is the interest Of the coun-
~ 10 have railroads; it is the only way
10 which our county can be thoroughly.
quickly and probably developed. Let
us not be behind the times in this matter.

uPs.--Soups, when properly made,
are very wholesome and an almost in
dispensable appendage to dinner
But how few cooks know how to make
it Wholesome and palatable-? To pre-
pare good soup requires more skill
and labor than almost any other prin-
cipal dish, and few ever learn, and
those who know how, seldom go to
the trouble of making it right. In a
majority of families--we are safe in
saying nine out Of ten--really good
soup is never eaten, or soup that is
not very indigestible. They think that
TO be good, it must look very yellow,
and made SO by half an inch in depth
Of grease on the top. Now, the truth
is, there should be little or no grease
about soup. 1t should be made of
lean meat boiled, or rather simmered,
for a long time --say half dozen
hours. A little Drowned flour, pre-
pared as the Germans do for their
"burnt meal soup" gives it dark
color. Above al things, keep away
grease from soup, commonly known
as " fat if you want the soup to di-
gest in tho next six or eight hours.
A knuckle Of veal, boiled in a gal
Ion. of water down to a Jelly, can,
when cold, be cut into pieces, and
used as "stoclS" for soup for several
days, each time adding as much of tho
stock as will make sufficient soup for
tie meal. 10 this vegetables of near
ly all kinds, cut up fine, can DO used
with adyantago-say turnips, carrots,
onions, tomatoes, etc, with barley,
rice, etc. The older the stock gets
the better the soup is, always provid-
ing that it is well boiled, and the veg
etahles thoroughly done.

On Plain Cooking.

4.eaders who are interested in this
department of our ps per may have
wondered why so many directions have
heon given for preparing articles in
common use for the table. The rea-
sou will saggost itself in reading the
following remarks Of Mrs. Stowe, in
her "House and Home Papers" pub
lished in the .4tLantie Monthly.
a table where the proper printi-
ples are observed will need few dam
ties. Tho struggle after SO called del
icacies comes from fhe poorness OF
common things. Perfect bread and
butter would soon drive cake out of
The fed: it has done so in many lam
lilies. The art Of making pastry, .ces,
jellies, preserves, etc, Is iar better un-
derstood in America than the art Of
common cooking. There are more
women who know how to mako cake
than good bread, moro who can fur
nish you with q good ice-cream than
a well cooked mutton chop; a fair
charlotte russo is easier to come by
than a perfect cup of coffee, and you
shall find sparkling jelly to your
dessert where you sighed in vain for
SO simple luxury as well cooked
potato.
Our fair country women might rest
upon their laurels in these higher
fields, and turn their general energy
and ingenuity to the study of essen
falls To do common things perfectly
is far better worth our endeavor than
10 do uncommon things respectfully.
We Americans, in many things as yet,
have been little inclined to begin
making our shirt at the ruiIle, but
nevertheless, when we set about it, we
can make the shirt as nicely as any
body it needs only that We turn our
attention>to it resolved that, ruflle or
no rufile, tho shirt We will have"

A. MAN WITHOUT MONEY! man
without money is body without a

body. His countenance is sorrowful,
and his conversation betokens the
want of refinement which always ac-
companies u well filled-purse If he
happens to call on an aequainta nee he
never finds him at home, aud gem
orally gets the door slammed in his

opens his mouth no is interrupted
cyery moment so that he may not
finish the speech which can only end
with asking for money.
He is avoided like diseased leper,
and is looked upon as an encunlbrance
