great calamities that embittcr ex-

[From the n. Y. Tribune
The Kansas Pacific Railway now
runs through the centre of Kansas,
and is in successful and profitable
operation for over four hundred
miles. We remember the country
through which it passes as a wide,
open plain, known only to a few
tribes of wild, rowing Indians, and
occasionally to venturesome squad
of stage-guards and herdsmen, who
mipistered princely hospitality
every fifteen or twenty miles. To-
peka, Salina and Manhattan were
little more than the geographical
designations of towns that hope to
be. Hays, Ellsworth, Sheridan and
the twenty stopping-places now up
on its timetable, did not exist, even
in the imagination of the pioneers.
Denver was q mere cluster of mining
cabins and Indian huts, The Chey-
ennes and Arrapahoes held solemn
council or high revelry in it's ways.
There was no law but great deal
Of rude, summary justice, which
grieved sober believers in habeas cor
pus, and trial by jury. Now, Denver
is as neat, well built and comfortable
as Hartford, with schools and
churches, rows of brick stores, hotels
and tasteful dwellings, which recall
: the luxury and comfort Of the East.
Nature has trimmed and fringed ii
with the noble Rocky mountains,
whose hills glisten with snow, while
their sides are clothed with deep and
rich midsummer greenery. Ha

city with the East by an extension

George d. Prentice It is said, has
been a constant dripker for forty |
years. For ten years he has been q
drinker of the lignumvit@ order.
Here is a temperance lecture by him,
worth a score at least, OF the Good
Templar exhortations and misrepre-
sentations: ''' "
There is atime when the pulse
lies low in the bosom and beats low
in the VEINS; when the spirit sleeps
the sleep which, apparently, knows
no waking; sleeps in its house of
clay, and the windows are shut, the
doors hung with the invisible Grape
of melancholy; whom we wish the
golden sunshine pitchy darkness,
and wish to fancy clouds where no
clouds be. This is d state Of sick
ness whenphysic may be thrown to
the dogs, for we want none of it.
What shall raise the spirit? What
shall make the heart beat music
again, and the pulses, through all
the myriad thronged halls in the
house of lifei q What shall make
the sun kiss the eastern hills again
for us with all his old awakening
gladness, and the night overflow
with moonlight, love and flowers!
Love itself is the greatest stimulant
the most Intoxicating Of all, and per
forms all these miracles, and Is Q
miracle itself, and is not at the drug
store, whatever they say. The
counterfeit 10 in the market, bu
the winged god is not money
, changer ! assure you. l aaat
Men have tried many things, bu
still they ask for stimulant.
Men try to bury the floating dea'
of their own souls in the wine cur
but the corpse rises. We see thei
faces in the bubbles. The intoxica
ton of drink sets the world whirl
), ing again, and the pulses to playin
music, and the thoughts galloplne
but the first clock runs down soone
and an unnatural stimulant onl
leaves the house it filled with tn
: widest revelry, more silent, moi
a sad, more deserted. There Is onl
one stimulant that never intoxicate
!. duty. Duty puts clear sky ov'
: every man into which the skylark-
happincss-always goes singing.

A Two Cent Dog.
wav.

Notlong since atwo cent dog sprang
from the alley closely followed by a
five cent brick. Rounding the cor.
ner at right angles he came in con
tact with the feet Of a woman, who
was carrying a jug Of molasses in
one hand and a bucket of eggs in
the other. The sudden collision Of
the dog with her lower extremities
threw her from her feet, and she
sat down on the bucket of eggs, at
the same time breaking the jug OF
molasscs upon the pavement. A
young gentleman, carrct-bag in
hand, anxious to catch the train, was
running close behind, and stepping
upon the fragments Of the jug and
its contents, fell down on the chest
of the Dutch woman, who said,
"Minc Cot" The young man said
something about mad dog, but in a
moment said il backward. In the
meantime the dog had run against
the feet Of a team of horses attached
to a load of potatoes, and they,
taking fright started for home.
The end board being out, they I'M
loaded the potatoes on the street as
they went. Crossing the railroad
track the wagon caught in a rail
and tore it from its place. A freight
train coming along few moments
later was thrown from the track
smashing up a dozen cars and killing
. thirty or forty hogs. Thehorses, OF
reaching home, ran through th'
barnyard and overturned a milk
i. pail, the contents of which anothel
l two cent dog licked up. One of tn
7 horses having broken his leg wa

n man who owns it, is responsible 70
