THE EMPORTA RAILROAD.

Among the many projects now being
agitated in our midst none is of more
Importance to the welfare of Lawrence
than the Lawrence & Emporia Railroad.
The contemplated Lawrence, Olathe s.
Kansas City Railroad project has as
sumed definite form, and with proper
energy will be pushed forward to COM
pietion, thus opening up to tbs Compel
ing line from the east. whereby our
freights will be reduced TO such IN ex-
tent that our merchants will be able to
compete with any city west of st. Louis !;
consequently a large portion of South
ern Kansas will look to Lawrence for
their supplies. This will of course in
sure a large W holesaie trade and induce
the investment OF capital among US.
The Galveston road already complet-
ed 10 Ottawa is a fixed fact, and will
doubtless at an early day be completed
TO tie State line. opening up untold
mines o wealth heretofore undeVelOp-
ed. and placing us in close communica-
ton with all OF those towns lying south
o us The Neosho valley is last set
thing Up. and while by means of the
Ga weston road we secure the trade of
the southern counties. a line passing
through Usage and Lyon counties TO
EIEi oria, would also secure the south
western trade. The NeosEO Valley
rold, running southeast, when cOmplet-
ei vii furnish r1iiIoad communication
to the nearest point on the Union Pacif-
ic Eaiiro I'd at Junction City. Goods
sh pped fiOm lie Last would pass over
the Union Pacific road to that city. A
road from Lawrence southwest. form
ill., i junction at Emporia, would by
re sson OF the distance being about the
same as TO Junction City, induce the
merchants of those southwestern coun-
ties to purchase their goods in Law
renee, as offering the best and cheapest
market, and furnishing the quickest and
cheapest transportation, saving TO them
hundred miles of railroad and addi-
tional expense attending it. This is but
one OF the many advantages resulting
from the building OF this line. Other
cities are alive TO the project. The road
will be built. 1t only remains to be
seen whether Lawrence will take the
lead in this enterprise, or allow the
golden opportunity TO pass and other
/, II aTsis reap fhe harvest.
We believe the citizens of Lawrence
will take hold of this matter with en-
eFgy. A glorious future is before rs il
we all unite and work with determin-
alton to succeed. Lawrence as the great
railroad center is a fixed fact-'tis our
destiny Journal

Fanny Fern has been reconstructing @
rebel. 1t seems that Mr.. Parton Cher
husband) has an amannensis who served
in the Rebel army, a young gentleman
of fine plishments and manners.
Now, Fanny has heard of sundry such
American citizens refusing to walk un-
der the American flag. SO she fastened
the loyal bunting over the door of Mr..
Parton's writing room, whereby the
amanuensis could neither get in nor out
without passing under it. Approaching
the joke, the rebel pinned on the flag a
pencilled slip, to the effect that ''lovely
woman's wit had done what five years
of war could not do; but that, though
his body passed under, his soul scared
above" Next morning, Fanny placed
i'll the entry, by the side of the hat-rack,
a bust OF Gen. Butler, SO that the gentle
man rebel could not fail to take Off his
hat to it. Whereupon the amenuensis
left Oh the pedestal a memorandum in
timatinS that persons curious to see
Buffers face as it appeared there, might
have seen his back as it appeared at Big
Bethel" During the afternoon, Fanny
set bottle OF Gettysburg water" by
the statue, with the words Good for
bad blood and secession. Butler was
not at Bethel, according to his biogra-
pher, James Parton. Therefore, his
back could not have been there. But, ii
it had been, he never would have cover
ed it with his wife's pettcoat it dccamp-
ing. The rebels retort was, 81 have
no fancy Tor being bottled up ! leave
that to Butler. ~. Y. Independent.

The Scientific american, in view of
the many lamp explosions resulting
almost Invariably from the use of bad
kerosene, urges the importance of test
ing their oil before use in the lamp.
This, it says, may be readily done by
any man, woman or child, by means OF
a thermometer, little warm water and
a tablespoonful of the oil. Fill the cup
with water the temperature of which is
to be brought to Ito deg. Fahrenheit.
Pour the oil OH the water; apply fame
10 the floating oil by match or other
wise. Ii til: oil is unsafe it will take
fire, and its use in the lamp is dangerous,
for it is liable TO explode. But if the
oil is safe and good, it will not take
fire. 1t is worthy of remembrance, too,
that all persons who sell kerosene that
will not stand the fire test at ITO deg.
are liable to prosecution. We may
here add that late accounts deny that
there is any truth ia the assertion that
salt put in coal oil increases either the
economy or efficiency of its use. On
the contrary, it is asserted with at least
some plausibility, that the addition OF
salt to the oil could only result in giving
such character to the flame as would
impart a horrible CHASTITY hue to the
countenances of those sitting within its
range,

TIMBER.

We have repeatedly urged upon our
farmer friends the importance of plant
ing belts and groves of timber. 1t IL
now time to gather and plant the seed
of elm and maple. Children can gather
the seed, which is abundant in the
woods. and they may be planted in nur-
sery rows, or where they are 10 stand.
Maple makes the quicker growth, but
elm is the more beautiful tree. For
fuel nothing can excel the cottonw God,
thousands of small trees of which can be
found on the creek banks. Plant those
from six inches to two feet high. They
will make all the fuel you want. Last
fall we gathered from near creek q
thousand of these little cottonwoods
which we have planted AKA feet 6etsreen

Usage orange ia not slow grower,
and ii stakes are wanted for the vine-
yard, or poles for any purpose, they can
be grown large enough in four years if

make Il tree nine inches in diameter.

The average potato crop in the Unit
ed States during a favorable season
amounts TO 150.0O0,000 bushels, which
at 81 bushei are worth Sl50,000, 900,
equaling the interest OH our whole ma
tiOnai debt. The yield of the past sea-
son, throughout the whole extent of
our country, has hardly been half a crop,
making a loss OF 75,o0o'OOo bushels,
equal TO S75,000,000. Such an enor-
nous loss as one crop In single sea-
son is well worth the consideration of
every intelligent agriculturist; the more
so as this loss has TO be suffered by
those who are not the best able to bear 1t.

The Conservative describes the meth
cd adopted to kill buffalo as follows:
The buffalo are killed mostly by ar
rows, as they are not only less cxpens-
i've, but can be withdrawn and used
again. These animals are generally
hunted in the following manner: A
large herd is surrounded and gradually
driven in together. Aud here is ex-
hibited. piece of strategy thoroughly
Indian. The stragglers on the outside
of the main herd are shot in the liver
and will bleed to death internally in
going four or five miles. gThe hunters
still keep on driving them in, and the
carcasses. at the close of the chase are
not scattered over so large an extent O..
ground "a they would be if the strag-
gIers were shot dead. When the circle
is well closed in, the hunters begin to
shoot at the heart. Their ponies are all
trained and will not enter the herd, but
keep always around the outside, though
the rider does not draw rein on them
after the main herd is reached.
