SIR: In your new list of mail routes for

Leavcnworth. and only two, one from Lea

ono from Leavenwor,h to Oska!oosa, twice

Judging from what you have done thus
fur for Kansas. an old citizen 10 led TO the
conclusion that you know nothing whatever
about our State or people. You appointed
Mail Superintendent for this State who
cannot superintcnd himself. and who has
had almost nothing 10 do with the mails,
although he has been in office sevoralmonths.
Your ignorance of the men and
women in Kansas Is 50 vast and various,
that it is not surprising that you know moth.

Many persons, not members of the Csbi.
net, are aware that Lcavenworth Is by fur
the largest city in Kansas-that Leayeu.
worth County contains about fifty thousand
people, tia. no other county in the State
contains one half that number-that Lea.
venworth has more railway connections
than any other town in the State, and, there
fore. more facilities for sending out and 70.
ceiving mails-and that the people Of this
county write letters and read newspapers,
and have right to demand the means OF
communication with one another which

only on hour or two old, and 1t present
only prospcc,ivcly populous, get mail fscil.

Barring Second 1lar,.iaoes.

1t has been not uncommon for husband,
deceasing to devise property to their widow,
on condition Of their not marrying again.
Whatever may be thought Of this morally,
sentimentally. Or otherwise. II seems to STAND
)ust'fed IN the eye of the lsw-au optic
which is supposed to view oil things calmly.
comprcl'cnsivcly and I've ,cfcenily. A case
In point was recently decided in Cincinnati,
by the Supreme Court Of Ohio. The widow
had taken the whole Of the property of her
husband under will which gave her a life
estate provided she remained his wild.
ow. Marrying afterward, she sued fo,
dover, which she had in due form of law.
surrendered ut probate, clec.ing to take by
will. The first question was NJ to the cftcc,
"f tue widows election; and since there was
nothing said about election In the will. Il
was held that tho devise, being of all the
real estate, was not intended to he in lieu Of
dover, and therefore ''thc widows net OF
election operates to bar her estate at law"
The next question was whether the con.
dition Of the devise was valid, or whether II
was against public policy as restraining mar.
riagc: Upon this all the big wigs were
quoted to the disadvantage Of the widow.
" The text writer's, judges and chanccllors
who have referred " the question, state the
doctrine to have been borrowed from the
civil law introduced by the eclesiastics, and
adopted subsequently by the civil courts /"
And, "it is now definitely settled that the
husband is not restrained from limiting the
enjoyment OF devise made to his wife. to
the period Of her widowhood." 1.-THE rca.
son of the rule, recognized as it Is by such q
series OF decisions. 10 founded upon the
soundest principles Of justice and morality" !"
The husband 'n,ay we'll bc supposed to he
anxious for her happiness; and, by placing
II second marriage as bar to his wife's sub.
scquent enjoyment Of the estate devised.
prevent an i'll sorted or unhappy union. {"
The Court mentions also the husbands con.
sidcIa'ion for his children and his right to
guard them from stcpfatl.cr "wllosc only
motive in marriage may have been to obtain
control Of the testator's property" And
''Inore than all tive property, which was the
result of his toll, he may without any rcficc.
ti"n upon her conjugal duties, be unwilling
should Ike appropriated to the children of a
second marriage"
These considerations satisfied the Court
that the ies,ator had the right to impose the
condition. The law in Ohio. however. sc.
cures widow in her personal years main
tcnance" from the husbands estate hut in
this case tho plcadings were not framed 50
~ to ask for thar. which she might have
claincdin spite of any devise by will or ANY
alienation during his life.

The deid Of vis!on from the mountains hight,
The dssest wide. the empire Of the deep
Earth and her journey round the throne Of Light,
The course OF planets and the comets leap
The starry heavens with their stupendous sweep.

Beyond all wolds, where void sud chaos ylecp.
Thy almost verge and Anal resting. place
Unlinitsd, all-abouodiug. nevcr-lailing Space
The far-oG epoch Of creations dawn,
The far-oG period Of creation's doom.
Are bounded too-but countless ages gone.
When suns are wrapt In winding shccts Of gloom
Wove BY the shuttics Of thy tirelcss loom,
Thou shalt remain ~ ever in thy prime;
The uuiversc contains for thee no tomb;
Cnfathomablc, iD1nitc, sublime,
Eternal age Of God, oh ucver-ending Time
Infinite wisdom. md infinite thought,
Conceived the grandeur Of the earth and sky;

Rolled out their orbs aud fixed their destiny.
Infinite goodness, truth and charity,
