FROM THE PLAINs.-A correspondent
writing from the end of the track of the
Union Pacific Railroad, to the Lawrence
Tribune, says they are now at the 360th
mile post, and progressing at the rate
OF from one to two miles per day. If it
was not for the delay caused by unfinish-
ed grading, two miles would be the
daily average. From present prospects
the road will be pushed on to Denver
without stopping at the 3S5th mile post,
as was originally intended. The coun-
try through which they are grading at
present, is very poor and sterile, offering
but little or no inducements for settlers
or the building of towns. Ga

A member of the Canadian Parliament
and other capitalists from Canada are
now visiting this State with view of
locating and engaging in stock breeding.
Mr.. Christie, one of the party, is the
owner of what is said to be the finest
Durham bull this side of the Atlantic,
and he proposes to bring this animal
to Kansas. -

To show the character of the immi-
grafton coming into our State this
season, says the Lawrence Journal, we
will mention that a Mr.. Patterson OF
Huron county, Ohio, recently sold his
farm in that State for $4,000, and has
just purchased fine farm of 800 acres
one mile from Oskaloosa, the county
seat of Jefferson county, at $50 per acre.
This is the class of farmers that are
doubly welcome to our State. They
will speedily add immeasurably to the
wealth of the State. We would rather
see one such farmer come than a whole
barnyard full of politicians.

The Evansville Qnd.) Journal of the
18th inst, contains the following item
in reference to the fruit prospects in that
section: Aaa ll,it59 ati 1908
We have made examination and inqur-
ry of the condition of the fruit buds
and bloom in this vicinity, and are hap
ply to say that the report is much more
favorable than we expected after the Sc
we're storm, frost and freeze of last week.
The most serious injury was sustained
by the early peaches, which were in full
bloom probably; one-half of these are
killed, but sufficient have escaped to
make pretty fair crop. Of the later
varieties good crop may be anticipa-
ted. There isa good prospect orpears
the cherries are not thought to be injur-
ed, and the apples have escaped uIl.
harmed, The strawberries which were
in bloom were killed, but enough have
thus far escaped to make a fair supply OF
this delicious berry, it is thought.
Grapes are not sufficiently forward to be
materially injured. So that, altogether,
there is good prospect for sufficient
supply of the fruit iuxuries the coming
season. E.sfsf.-- -.

versasility of Printers.

The Belfast Ireland) Mercury gives
the following in relation to printers
"From high to low they are the same
reckless, Light hearted. clever well in
formed fellows-knowing how to act
better than they do-nothing at times
teyerything if the occasion requires, OF
the. fit takes them. No sooner are they
comfortable in. one town than they make
travel for anothers though they travel
ON hair space means. And to what will
they not turn their hands. 'We have
seen, 'says an American editor, 'one and
the same individual of the craft, minister
in California, a lawyer in Missouri, a
sheriff in Ohio, boatman on Western
canal, sailing privateer, an auctioneer
in New York, and a pressman in a great
printing Office Nor are these charac-
teristics confined to any country-they
are everywhele the same. We lieve
met them as lecturers, travelling preach
ers, ventriloquists-in fact everything.
We have met on tramp in this
country members of this wild, rowing
profession from all parts Of. the globe
Spanish, Frenchmen, Portugess, Ger
mans, and Swedes-and all apparently
as much at home as in their own country.
Ardent lovers of liberty, kingcraft finds
but little favor in their eyes. When the
Chartist excitement was raging in En-
gland, the most eloquent leaders in the
movement were printers. When the
barricade was raised in Paris in 1S4S,
the compositors cast their types into
bullets and fred them at the royalist
troops."a ,Als7s15 sf.El9a

Wiltshire, the other Sunday evening

church, an honest knightsof the anvil,

Clergyman, and again he announced the
right number, and requested the clerk
to play it. II tell zee 'tis the 'underd
and thirteenth" persisted the village
blacksmith. To prevent this unseemly
harangue, the clergyman descended
from the pulpit, walked to the harmoni-
um, placed the hymn before the clerk
(who had been watching his operations
with contracted eyebrows), and said,
"Play, that, if you please" The stub
born functionary looked at it, and seeing
it was not his "'underd and thirteenth"
said, .This aintathe right hymn, I tell
'ee." a"Never mind, you play it." II
shant; you play ZEN yourself" said the
crusty clerk, and he walked from the
place. The congregation was dismissed,
and the clerk was sent for. "Do you
know You acted very improperly to-

Filing rhe Price of a Bride I'm

Eix1DE 10o RrfCo OF q lBr10o In
The Lsdian Daily Nesos gives an ac-
count, of social reform which has Just
been effected. 1t has hitherto been a
custom among the Coles (Singbhom) to
sell daughters to bridegrooms-an in
stitution peculiar to the race. The
prices asked were So exorbitant (forty
and fifty head of cattle being COM
mon) as to cause for some years a
falling of. in the number of mar
riages and an increased immoral in
timacy between the two sexes. Every
district officer who has taken any inter-
est in the Coles has endeavored to advise
them to alter their custom on this point,
bnt unfortunately without success. Col.
Dalton, CommissionerofC Chota Nagpore,
now reports that The people have at last
yielded their prejudices in regard to it.
The evils resulting from the exorbitant
demands for Cole ladies have recently
been very frequents and in taking the
opinion of the most intelligent of the
Coles as. to devising a remedy, it was dis
covered that they themselves were pre-
pared for change, but that no person
would take the initiative. The Com
missioner, however, convened punch
ayet, and it was resolved by all the
mankis and leading men that the BRIDES
pun or price in future was not to exceed
ten head Of cattle; this also was nomin-
al, as the ten head will include pair of
oxen, COW and seven rupees, without
any.cattle. The change is a very re-
markable event in the history of the
Coles. + 80 Fl VOC Z q so aB 4lsas

vile whose name we do not know
He has some property and credit
Last week black man came to his
house who pretended to be recent
importation from the South. He said
his old master had recently died in the
South and left him $500 in gold and
silver, that he had it in heavy iron
chest down there; that under exist
ing circumstances he would not be
allowed to spend it there, and that he
would take $1,000 in greenbacks for
the $500. If the trade could be made
he would have the coin brought to
Salinesville by express. The Wash
ington township darkey had misgiv-
ings as to the truth of this story. but
the gentleman from the South pressed
the matter so strongly and with such
plausibility that he finally agreed to
trade. So on Saturday of last week
he drew up note for $1,000 had it
signed and took it to Wellsville, where
it was cashed. He returned with the
money and paid it over to his brother
niger. A large heavy box had by
this time arrived and was on the plat
form of the station, at Salineville. in
which the solid cash was supposed to
be. 1t had been hauled there from
Salem by an other darkey, and was
taken home by him who paid out the
Sl,OOO After considerable hard work
it was broken open and the treasure
1t contained consisted of big stones
and tomato vines: The swindline
darkey had escaped with his green
backs before the fraud was discovered. !
A warrant was issued for the Salem
darkey and he has been arrested.
