Southern Kansas.

Kansas has been a splendidly abused
State. Now that the turmoil and strife oil
battle has ceased, and Kansas ideas have
been adopted by the nation, and the State
is entering upon newer and better era oil
progress and improvement, is it not time
that vilifcation and abuse should cease
The phantom of the drouth of 1860 has been
cOnjured up to brighten the timid and afford
material to prejudice the interests OF this
State. The fact is, the drouth was but par
ptial and exceptional. 1t is the only one
that has visited this State for 40 years.
This is the testimony of the Indian Mis-
sionaries, and intelligent, civilized Indians
who have cultivated the soil. The fact is,
and the records on file at the Smithsonian
Institute show, that as much rain falls in
Kansas as 10 any of the ten Western Valley
States of the Mississippi, the Missouri and
the Ohio. Facts further show that during
the drouth of $50, those farmers who prac-
ticed thorough system of tiIlage and cul-
ture, plowed deep and cultivated well, uni
formly raised good crops.
A writer in the New York Tribue eau
tons emigrants from settling further back
than the second tier from the Missouri river,
and says the lands are covered with alkali
back from the second tier. This precious
information is akin to the old school book
accounts which declared that all the country
west of the Missouri river was a barren
waste, an american DESERT" where are
now prosperous settlements aud fiourishing
cities, and commerce reaching millions of
dollars annually.
The writer referred to, cautions immi-
grants from settling in Southern Kansas
The fact is, that Southern Kansas is the gar
den spot of this productive prairie State. 1t
is more rapidly filing up with an energetic
and enterprising population than any other
portion of the State. As a stock growing
and wool producing region it is unsurpassed.
Here are natural meadows, covered with q
rich growth OF rank and luxuriant prairie
grass, that affords pasturage for summers
use and hay for winters consumption, in
the greatest abundance. Southern Kansas
is also admirably adapted to winter wheat
and corn culture. Here is one of the great
est valleys in the State and in the West, the
valley of the .Neosho. It has a length OF
200 miles, and an average width of from
FIVE to eight miles. Along the river is a
wide belt of excellent timber, comprising the
different varieties of oak, hickory, walnut
ackberry and ash. In coal, Southern Kan
sas is inexhaustible. The late discovery Of
a superior article of marble at Fort Scott
and at Paola in unlimited quantities, will,
it is believed, add UNNECESSARILY to the
wealth and importance of this portion of
the State.-Ransas Correspondence Saint

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Judge Baiiey's Report.

We publish below extracts from the very
able report of the visitors to the State Nor
NAL School. This report was made to the
State Superintendent pursuant to law, and
is published in his report We consider it
of sufficient Importance to give it larger
circulation, and therefore transfer a portion
of it to our columns. We are sure that
our readers will agree with us in pronoun =
ing it among the abest and best written of
any of the numerous documents presented
to the last Legislature:
THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The first term of the school commenced
on the 18th ofFebruary 1865, with I8 stu
dents, and closed June 28th with AZ. Up
to that time but single teacher had been
employee L. B. Kellogg, late
of the Normal University of Illinois, l6eR-
ted at Bloomington. At the beginning of
the second term, Sept. 18th, Prof. H. B.
Norton was employed as assistant. We
found the discipline of the ms titution per-
feet, leaving nothing to be desired. The
manner of the teacher, firm, yet gentle and
full of kindness, seemed to preclude all
thoughts of disobedience, even in the slight
est particular. His slightest wish, how
ever signifed, by word, a motion of the
finger. or a glance of the eye, was the law
of the school room, commanding cheerful
and instant obedience.
| The examination consisted of a review
of the work of the term in the various
branches required to be taught in common
schools - Reading, Spelling, Writing,
Arithmetic, Geography and Grammar.
In these latter days of progress, when
every aspiring village boasts It's college,
or university, where everything is profess
ed to be taught; from Algebra and Astron-
omy to Zoology it may perhaps be thought
that but small credit is due to the teacher
who deYotes his time to the teaching of
such rudimental branches, and that an ex-
animation of a class of adult pupils, inclu-
ding several who have already had years Of
successful experience as teachers in such
branches, must be barren of interest. With
all such critics we must beg leave to differ.
They cannot have rightly weighed and val
ued heimportance of a thorough and com
plete understanding of those fundamental
branches, which form the base and ground
work of all practical education; and we ven
ture to assert that one hours observation or
experience of the Normal processes would
work complete change in their opinion,
especially if they should take part with the
class and attempt to pass examination in
even the four first rules of Arithmetic.
The teacher seemed to possess a happy
and peculiar faculty of securing the atten
ton of his pupils, and of concentrating ii
upon whatever subject he chose for the time
being Every mind seemed to be in COM
plete working order, and the interest never
Tor moment tagged SO long as the exsr.

Southern Illinois came to be called Egypt,
says an old resident of that section, in this
wise /: In the early settlement of the San
gany country, as it was called before the
counties of Sangamon and Greene were or
ganized, there were several families who
emigrated from these counties from st. Clair.
Among the number there was an old man
named Levi Day. Every spring he return
ed, in company with several others, to this
country to get seed corn. For three or four
years after those counties were settled the
insects and frost so injured the corn that it
would not answer for seed, The third year
that Levi Day came down he stopped at my
fathers house over night, and to get his
seed corn. The same night Gov. Ford,
John Mears, and David Blackwell stopped
at my fathers house. During the evening
Mr.. Day remarked that he had to come down
to Egypt to buy corn every year. That
idea so pleased Ford and Blackwell that they
published it, and Southern Illinois has gone
by the name of Egypt ever since.

The Radical Ireland.

If radical politicians were disposed to
reflect, they would see in the news
which reaches us daily concerning the
Fenian uprising in Ireland, a picture Of
what will transpire in the southern
States not many years hence should the
Congressional policy be persisted in. The
radicals are making an Ireland of the
South, to be governed by them with
more than English rigor, and they have
no right to expect that American citi-
zens will submit to oppression and out
rage any more quietly than the people
of Ireland have submitted. The recol-
lection of past freedom will stir south
ern hearts more deeply, because fresher
and more recent, than the recital Of the
ancient glories of the Irish Kings now
stirs the hearts Of all who were born
upon "the Green Isle" And there are
other circumstances which will operate
powerfully to create in the South
spirit of bitter hostility to the North
far stronger than that which pervades
the breasts of Irishmsn against their
hereditary foe. In Ireland, the Saxon
governs the Celt; in the South, should
the radical idea be carried out, the ne
gro will govern tho white man. The
oppression Of the South will be as much

TO tho Inteliigeucer.o -

The above caption, which appears
over the cable dispatches of the negro
suffrage ergan in this city, is, rs many
of our readers are aware, q deceitful
trick for the purpose of advertising the
IatCUigGccr. The impression is sought
TO be made that the Intelligencer, by ex-
traordinary sxertion and enterprise, has
arranged for the transmission of private
and special cable news for its own use.
Whether the Imtelligencer would have
the public believe that its supposed
special correspondent" performs his
lahors on this or the other side of the
Atlantic, we will not say, but certain 1t
is that he designs the public TO regard
his paper as the recipient .of items OF
news to which no other journal has ac-
cess. Now all this is barefaced decep-
ton. The IRtelligencer gets the same
news that any other paper, willing to
paw for the cable dispatches, receives,
and no more. The REGISTER and numer-
Gus other journals pay for and publish
daily the same kilograms which our
nciShbor labels as special to the IntelH-
gcnce.7 They are not special to any
body. They are general, public and
free TO every establishment that thinks
them worth the purchase, and the In
telligencer's device is shameful artitice
that deserves the exposure we have
riyen it.

Care ofLens.W Sheep.

Experienced breeders ofCotswold and
Leicester sheep say that these sheep
should not be kept in the same pastures
or yards with Merino sheep. They say
that the ordor from the bodies of the
Merino is not only offensive, but hurt
full to the English breeds. The long
wooled sheep are little disposed to
roam over the pastures: they eat what
they want, and then lie down. The
Merinoes, on the other hand, are much
disposed to ramble all over the pasture,
picking q little here and there.
The consequent trampling of the grass
and scattering Of the droppings of the
sheep seem TO affect unfavorably the
Cotswolds and Leicesters; so much so
that it is advised, even where they are
kept alone, that at least three pasture
lots be kept, so that the sheep may have
fresh pasture frequently.
Canadian farmers, who think highly
of the long-wools, claim that the preju-
dice which exists against them in many
parts of the United States is owing to
this mismanagement of those who own
them.

We are much panied to ann ounce,

QUIGG, of this city. The event, though
not unexpected, has cast quite gloom
over the circle of friends of which
"BIILY QUIGG" (for we must call him
so yet) was the life and the light. He
was possessed of remarkable brilliancy
of intellect and his sparkling and e1-
uberant wit charmed all who enjoyed
his acquaintance. He was possessed
also of poetic, ability of no
mean order and many of his rhymes
are possessed of merit rarely exhibited
by many poets of more pretensions and
wider reputation than he. His disease,
consumption, seemed to brighten rather
than bedim his montal faculties, and,
even upon the bed from which he never
rose, he gave utterance to many humor-
ous fancies and sallies of wit. He will
be sadly missed by the associates who
admired him for his talents and loved
him for his geniality and nobility OF
heart,

(From the st. Louis Times, Dec. 5.
A uiuyIing OF Murder and Magic

In July, 1865, man named Philip
Framel, living in town about twenty
five miles east of Centralia, in Illinois,
had some disturbance with Provost Mar
shal Hopkins, and shot and killed him.
As Hopkins was falling, he discharged
his revolver twice at Framel, but fail
ing to harm him. The murderer was
arrested and, of course, was held by the
Coroner's jury, being indicted shortly
after by the Grand Jury. He was then
brought up on writ of hdbeds corpus,
and was admitted to bail in $4,000.
Framcl, loving liberty much better than
even the chances of death or cOniinc-
ment, waited not for his trial, but jump
ed his bail and left for parts unknown.
All search for the murderer at the
time was fruitless, and the officers of the
law gave him up as gone. Not so, how
ever, the father of the murdered man,
W. J. Hopkins. He declared his inten-
tion to search the entire country till he
found the assassin, and aveuge his sons
untimely death. With this object in
view he gathered together his goods,
and, armed with an abundance of the
circulating medium" he travelled
through AThduSdS, luuidu iCii'I'iS =
Iowa, Kansas and Missouri, but return
ed home, after years search, knowing
no more of the murderers whereabouts
than when he started out.
Almost distracted, the poor man about
abandoned his plan, when some of his
friends recommended him to call upon
and test the clairvoyant powers of a
blind girl, living in Mount Vernon, IL
linois. Mr.. Hopkins paid her visit,
and she told him that the murderer was
alive: that he, the father, had travelled
thousands of miles away in search ofthe
assassin, while he had never been near
the scene of his crime. She told him to
cross large body Of water, and in a
valley surrounded by hills and streams,
the murderer would be found.
Still doubling the fortune-teller's
power, he set out on his journey, and on
Friday last, in Centerville, Reynolds
county, in this State, he detected Framel
quietly at work. Hopkins Immediately
sent on to Illinois for proper documents
to make an arrest, and in due course Of
mail, received requisition from Gov
ernor Oglesby, of Illinois, upon which
he secured the murderer and conveyed
him safely to Illinois on Monday last.
Hopkins persists in the belief that for
the description given him by the blind
fortune-teller, Mary Lucas, he would
probably never have detected his sons
assassin.

HAN II Select EaxEla-

The near approach of the holiday sea-
son, when poultry begins to find a place
upon our tables more frequently than
during any other portion Of the year,
makes the following rules for selecting
fowls of use to many: A young turkey
has a smooth leg and soft bill. and il
fresh, the eyes will be bright and the feet
moist. Young fowls have a tender skin,
smooth legs, and the breast-bone yields
readily to the pressure of the finger.
The best are those that have yellow
legs. The feet and legs of the old fowl
look as if they had seen hard service in
in the world. Young ducks are tender
under the wing, and the webb of the
foot is Transparent. The best are thick
ard hard on the breast. Young geese
have yellow bills, and the feet are yell
low and supple; the skin may be east
ily broken by the head of q pin; the
brest plump, and the fat white.
