CORRESPONDENT OF THE Chicago 1faoa'F'
writing from Kansas, gives soma interesting in-
formation concerning the region to be traverseo
bv the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway
Seventy miles southwest OF Topeka are inc sieH'
coal fields of Usage County, and hunorea lniie'
further are the ''sat plains"-one hundreo iiiie'
long and forty miles broad. These plans arc coiii
pletely covered with white crust OF sat, Oh SUI
6ciant strength to bear up, without breaking or
crumblinp. an ordinary wagon load. Underneath
this crust n little below the surface, there is
otratnm OF solid rock salt. The same writer gives
on acconnt of the trade with Western Iexas ana
! Mexico. as well as New Mexico. Last year
brought tho first train Of twenty-three wagons
from Western Texas to h9ayenworth 1or
supplies of goods. There were three small trains'
beside the one first mentioned, that came
through last wear. They were loaded up with
wool pelts. furs, and dressed skins, and loaded
back with goods of every description. Ihe sue
cess OF last year has shown itself by the great In
crease this year. What was last year an ordinary
trail is this year splendid wagon road, over which
trains are passing almos:. daily. This trade now
goes to the Union Pacific road at Junction City
and other points. The cattle trade between Ie1as
and Kansas is another great wonder. This trade
commenced three years ago, and has been on tne
increase until it has reached forty thousand head
Three years ago there were two thousand head;
the next year about seven thousand last year about
eighteen thousand, and this year nearly forty
thousand up to this time, with prospect ofreach-
ing fifty thousand. Western Texas and part OF
Mexico are strictly grazing country, and the man
who owns and controls less than three thousand
head is really small operator. There are many
men in Texas who own from twenty-five to fifty,
and even eighty thousand head of cattle, and from
the sale of ftheseathey receive their only income,
many Of them employing from one hundred to
three hundred herders.
SINGULAR CASE recently came before the Sher-
ifs Court of London. The plaintiff baked we'd
ding cake for the defendant, and the latter would
not pay aim. In his cross-examination the
aegrieved baker said: 81 in the service OF MIR.
NEwcoaB as . journeyman at that time. He is
baker and pastry cook. made the cake in his
time. He dld not order me to make it, but the
lady to whom he was about to be married did. I
found some OF the things--such as four pounds of
icing sugsr and . quartern and half OF brandy.
Defendant said he did not order the cake His
Honor: "Did the lady to whom you were engaged
order it?" Defendant: eyes, she did" His Honor:
ssThen it was debt contracted by heretofore mar
rage, and you would be liable for it." Defendant
81 did not know sic had ordered the cake until
she told me about it, and then kicked up row
with her." (Laughterl. His Honor: ''What, do
you mean to say that you actually quarreled with
your wife about the very wedding cake?" De
fendant: "Of course I did" fLaughter.l De-
fendant's counsel: "It Was rather early to COM
mence quarreling, must confesss." Defendant:
'Well, did not like it, His Honor: sit appears
to me, plaintiff, that you we're the servant of the
defendant and you made the cake while acting in
that capacity. 1t is clear you cannot recover in
this action, and therefore defendant will.have the
verdict"
GEN LOGAN delivered long speech at Hamilton,
Ohio, ON Wednesday last, in which he arraigned
the Democracy for their "erimes and infamy, and
said Of ANDREW JoHNsoN "Tell me to-day if you
had JEFF. DAVIS in the Presidential chair, or Mr..
ROBERT E. LEE could they have done more for
the rebels in this land than ANDREW JOHNSON has
since he has been President? III they could,
would like to know in what way they could have
done it. II JEFF. DAVIS had been President, what
would he have done He would have returned all
the property to the rebels that they had lost. AN
DREW JOHNSON has done that. II JEFF. DAVIS had
been President he would have pardoned all the re-
bells that asked him for pardon. ANDREW JOHN
SON has done that and more too. If JEFF. DAVIS
had been President he would have.denounced thib
Congress, and called them set of traitors. An
DREW JOHNSON has done that. If JEFF. DAVIS had
been President he would have appointed rebel
Governors down South to control those States.
ANDREW JOHNSON did the same thing. If JEFF.
DAvB had been President he wonld have vetoed
the Freedmen's Bureau Bill ANDREW JOHNSON
did that. He would have vetoed he Civil Rights
Bill. ANDREW JOHNSON did that. He would have
vetoed the first Reconstruction Act of Congress,
and all the other rects, which-ASDREw JOHNSON has
DONE" ,i@- Ri @.'.l ,'-.
