Life in New York.

correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette.]
In and down the people so with rush, rush,
rusb Life is really such strife that in order
ia live it is necessary to throw into existence a
v;tarty which really destroys it. Life can give
M real Measure to these anxious, careworn, ca
Ger men, whom you see around you, jostling
against each other, tumbling over one another,
and struggling on, regardless of friend or foe.
The most that they can enjoy is wild excite
mcpt which is all very we'll while it lasts, but
which generally induces reaction which IS
death in ITSELF Nothing is more suggestive OF
the real character OF New York lite than the
changes which daily occur almost with tho ra-
pidity of magic. 1t was almost yesterday that
one man here led society in his way, lived in a
house that would have rivalled princes, kept
a table that would have excited the envy Of an
epicurean Roman, and lavished his money only
as an American millionaire can lavish. To-day
he is living quietly at an hotel: Another who
had brought to this country about couple OF
millions, tho product of years OF Eastern labor,
spent it for awhile with Eastern magni6cence,
and has now gone back to the Indies to recon-
mencc the labor Of his youthful days. Another
who enjoyed an income OF considerably over
$5O,OOO and who was tor years known as pru-
dent and practical man, has been engulphed in
the vortex of speculation and has lost his all and
with it his influence and his friends. Another
who but few months ago was buying wines
and pictures, and indulging ia every unreason.
able extravaganza, is now giving notes tor small
balances, while another who had more than
once known misfortune, and whose lessons had
been severe enough for most people, has seen at
least three-fourths of his:wealth melb rapidly
away from him under the magic touch of Pa
cifc Mail, Canton, Erie and few other Will
o'-the- Wisp stocks.
Notwithstanding these glaring examples no
one is warned. The infatuation for stock gam
bling is more than extreme, and has about it
the mixed characteristics Of infatuation and in
sanity. The worst of it is that you not only
play against the luck of the table, but against
the combinations of the dealers, for the simple
truth is that all stock jobbers are Greeks, who
as q rule make the fortunes they get out Of
corners and turns in which many of their
best friends are sacrificed. Now and then
there comes blow which staggers everybody.
Just now nothing is heard of but Erie and
Erie has been ricocheting and reboundlng and
exploding in such an alarming manner that al
most every bodyis afraid OF it, and it has given
such bad odor to railroad stocks that it is
thought it must kill speculation for six months
to come. It has ruined more men in few
days than any stock that was ever backed, and
it has hoored out operators, more completely
than did the panic in Pacific Mail when the
bottom came out of Mr. erome's tub.

Lemuel Jones, "a lad about sixteen years of
age, recently met with extraordinary good
fortune. He was engaged in the task of walk
ing from Erie to Chicago, being a venturesome
lad, and having some vague plan OF seeking
his fortune in the latter city. Between Euclid
and Cleveland he picked up a large wallet,
tightly tied with piece of red tape. Upon
opening the wallet, $4,000 in greenbacks were
disclosed to the glistening eyes OF the boy, who
had not expected to find his fortune in so short
time after leaving home There were no
papers in the wallet indicating to whom it be-
louged, and it is possible the boy will remain
in undisputed possession Of the money.

THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
Mr.. Tucker Nominated by AeelamatiOn.


The Senatorial convention met yes
terday, pursuant to call. All the town
ships in the district were represented
but one, Rev. James Kenner, of Green
wood, was elected President, and Ed.
Borton, of Emporia, Secretary. III. c.
Cross, VIM, Martindale and P. McCarty
were appointed committee on creden-
tails. Owing to the lateness of the
hour, we have not room for the list of
delegates.
VIM. Martindale placed in nomina-
ton Hon. Edwin Tucker, who, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Cross, of Emporia, (there
being no other candidate) was nomina-
ted by accllmation.
We are heartily glad of this. The
nomination was one eminently fit to be
made. Mr.. Tucker is one Of the truest
and best men in this portion of the
State. Lyon county had filled the po-
sition for six years, and it was nothing
but fairness and justice to concede the
Senator to Greenwood county this time.
This seemed to be the almost universal
sentiment of the delegates. Mr.. T. has
had two years experience in the lower
louise of the legislature, has been resi-
dent of Greenwood county for the last
ten years, is radical Republican and
will make a good Senator. We cheer
fully add his name to our ticket and
will do all we can to secure his cleo

WILL BOTTOM LAND IN KANSAS PRO-
DUCE FRUITY

FRIEND EDIToR: Several years ago
my friend Prof Foster opened claim
near Duck creek, In this county, with
the intention, as understood at the
time, of going into the fruit business
at any rate he was quite Jealous in teach
ing, both through the papers and pri-
vateIv, that the upland only was the
place for fruit in Kansas, alleging that
on the bottoms the tree would grow too
Iar.re-make much wood but no fruit.
To some the Professors arguments
seemed plausible and deferred them
from putting out orchards on bottom
land. The Professor, however, and his
hill side farm soon played out, and so
far as that went, proved that great men
are not Gltcdys wise.
The idea, however, that bottom land
will Weld no fruit is entirely faliacious,
as shall prove.
| We have about four acres planted to
orchard-apple and peach trees-roW
and row about, the trees being ten feet
apart. Nearly all of the trees have more
| or less fruit on them while some OF
them are breaking down full. ...
! / have selected one apple tree and one
peach tree (two of the fullest ones) for
my Data. The apple tree measures sew
| enteen inches in circumference one foot
from the ground, and will not weigh,
think, oyer'15O pounds. The tree con
tanned 65S apples which, by computa-
ton, weighed 164 pounds, or more Gp-
pies IN scesSht IN one year than the tree
bearing them.
The peach tree, one foot from thu
ground, is IA inches in circumference
and will not weigh over % pounds
while the peaches weighed 165 pounds
more than double the weight of the tree
+ From another peach tree cut Oil
! small branch from the main trunk, ST
, inches above ground, and the peache
gathered from it weighed 4S ounces
while the branch itself weighed les
e than II ounces.
2 And what is still worse for the Profes
sor's theory, is the fact that these sam
trees have been twice mulched wit
straw and once with manure, while tn
s whole orchard has been heavily manur
g ed all within seven years. And VIVA
: is not a little surprising is that, althoug
| the whole orchard is of the best qualit
of bottom land, the very lowest PORTO
of ii has done the best in fruit, so fal
o These facts seem to prove what l veril
= believe, to-Wit: that the ''too niue
: wood" theory, as applied to raising az
pies and peaches in kansas, is delusiol
), On three sides, our orchard is partial
d ly protected by Cottonwood trees plant

: the king of fruits, and to obtain them {
the best quality, and at the earliest pra,

OUR CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

We gladly copy the following highly
complimentary notice of General James
NJ. Harvey, our candidate for Governor,
from the pen of Capt. Broadhead, one
of his old comrades in arms, and now
editor of the Border Sentinel:
We have heretofore spoken of Cap
tain James NJ. Harvey, as man of fine
executive ability, and gentleman of
unimpeachable integrity. We knOW
him to be one of Natures noblemen.
We served with him in the old
Tenth Kansas Infantry for three years,
during which we had many opportuni-
ties of learning him. During that time
we found him man of exemplary hab-
its.
He was held in high esteem by all
his comrades in the army, as far as he
was known, and universally liked. A
true soldier, a noble officer, an amiable
gentleman, he was always at his post,
never shirked, and when the order pass
ed along the line ''to 'front.'" he cheer
fully and eagerly obeyed and lead his
company to the conflict. We have seen
him on the battle field where the battle
ragged the hottest, calm, yet most terri
bly, in earnest. Regardful of, and kind
to his men, he showed that he was safe
man in whose hands power could be
placed; and one of the highest compli-
ments that we could possibly bestow
upon him is, that the ''boys" loved him
and would cheerfully follow him.
Indeed, if he had an enemy in the regi-
ment, we do not now know it.
He was Captain of g company, 10th
Kansas Infantry from the 7th day of Au-
gust 1861, till the 18th day of August,
1864, when he was honorably discharged
the service at the close of his term. He
made during all that time capable,
honest and truly reliable officer, as he
will make Governor of the same or
der, for the coming two years. We be-
speak him a most triumphant election.

The delegates from Pike and Empo-

On motion, Jacob Stotler was nominal

Ross Thomas, of Pike, and L. a. Priest,
