TO AND FROM ELDORADO.

ED. News: If it devolved upon your
correspondent to furnish, as a matter of
duty. an account of his visit to Butler
county, he would omit description of
the country and the improvement of
farms as supererogatory. Knowing as he
does the effects of 'Tsurfeit of fat
things" he does not want to dish up for
your readers too much of the same
thing lest their love for it should turn to
nausea by an over dose. He will, there
fore, endeayor to furnish little of the
milk and honey" gathered from the
country, and leave Eye local" to supply
the substantials in the way of reports of
farm products and 'tgarden truck" In
fact, the weather during our trip was
somewhat unfavorable for chorOgraphi-
cal purposes. A breeze from the north
west on the day we started, stirred up a
premature snow storm, for the edifica-
ton of all whom it might concern. We
wrapped our blankets closer and laugh
ed at its frantic endeavors to snow us
under. For four days thereafter it
seemed to alternate between fair prom
ises and decided negatives-sunshine
and shadow-warm airs and cold, but
| chiefly cold.
On Saturday at noon we reached FL
dorado. We found the town alive with
people, and the merchants busy dispens-
ing goods of all kinds. Judge lamb
din, behind his counter, was the picture
of cheerfulness, as he filled the orders of
purchases. Henry Martin was ''out of
Sorts" He could not move about with
alacrity because of several carbuncles.
He was selling ali the goods, however,
that his host of customers wished to
carry away. Mr.. Belts and DR.. White
were doing their share of business. On
every side we saw the evidences of
growth in the surrounding country, and
| of the large town that Eldorado must
necessarily become, in course of time, to
supply the country around it.
On Sunday we stepped into Sunday
School, in the morning, and in the even
ing heard a sermon in house that was,
until it was bought out and closed by
the citizens, whisky saloon. What en-
couragement there is in this to those
who are seeking homes in Kansas will
be seen by the citizens Of the town,
when, ere long, the place begins to fill
up with good people who prefer to live
| in the neighborhood of schools, and
where God is worshiped, rather than
where men ruin men and destroy the
peace of society and good government
by the sale of Intoxicating liquors.
| Monday proved to be livlier day for
business men than the previous Satur-
day, but we could not stay to see all that
the day would bring forth. AT 3p. m. we
started northward, and reached Mr..
Hubbard's, Is miles from EldOrado, in
time to sit down to the table and refresh
the inner man with cup of good tea,
and general supply of good things,
which Mrs. III. had prepared for her own
household.
Our letter is already longer than we
intended it should be. We have only
room left to say that Squire McCabe
has I60 acres, 80 under cultivation, 200
rods of hedge, 60 head of cattle, which,
his neighbors say, are as good as can be
, found in the country, and some other
stock. Yours truly,
j, | Brown.

TOO BUSY TO FREEZE.

I was spending the winter at farmer
C's. Day after day, / observed
the patient herd vending their way
through the huge snow-banks, but al
ways in the same direction, At length,
curiosity led me to folloY the well-wOrn
path, until came to a large trough fed
by q tiny stream from above. The Their
mometer was below zero yet here was
open water free for man or beast.
|. ssDo your cattle always find water at
yonder spring." l asked upon my re-
turn.
aOh, yes !" said he; "that never fails,
summer or winter"
"Does it never freezer" / asked.
s'Neyerw was the reply. 81 can trust
that little fellow" said he, laughing.
s.He's too busy to freeze"
To the school which I taught IN this
place came poor boy, more thinly clad
kthan others; yet he never seemed cold.
Upon q rough sled he drew a crippled
sister, often wrapped in an old cost
which. evidently, belonged to the boy
himself.
Chow do you manage to keep warm
this cold morning z" I asked, as Willie,
after depositing his little sister in 9
warm corner, went directly to his seat
/ glowing with health and exercise.
Il have my sister to take care OF,
said he; land that keeps me stirring
Warm, loving hearts, and cheerful &C.
tivity in ways of usefulness, will offer

the cold.

LETTER FROM MR.. LINCOLN.

The following beautiful and character
istic letter from Mr.. Lincoln, which we
do not know has ever before appeared
in print, was sent us number of days
since, apropos TO the sneers of the Times,
at the patriotism of New England, but
failed to reach us at the time. 1t was
addressed to a widowed lady of Boston,
five of whose sons had laid down their
lives in the war, and whose sixth was
lying dangerously wounded at the hos
pital at Readville, Mass:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Nov. 2lst.
DEAR MADAM: have been shown in
the files of the War Department state
ment that you are the mother of five
sons who have died gloriously on the
field of battle. ! feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from the grief of loss so overwhelm-
ing. But cannot refrain from tender
ing to You the consolation that may be
found in the thanks of the Republic they
died to save. / pray that our Heavenly
Father may assnage the anguish of your
bereavement, and leave you only the
cherished memory of the loved and lost,
and the solemn pride that must be yours
to have laid so costly a sacrifice on the
alter of freedom. Yours,
A. LINCOLN.

EDITOR NEWS: We can hardly real
iZe that our summer is past and au-
tumn with her chilling blasts has in her
natural train come forward, disrobing

and throwing over her mantle of her
own sober, melancholy tints. But can
not say they are 1.-The saddest of the

in these quiet dreamy days. And then
the sunsets are magnificent. Italy

this; / am afraid / am wandering.
There have so many changes and inn
provements taken place recently in our
town that hardly know what to men
ton first, but think the closing of our
s1social nuisance, the saloon, shall
claim precedence. Our citizens have al
last become fully aroused in regard to
the evil that emenates from such an in.
stitution, which has resulted in the clo-
sing of it, and metamorphosing the
building into schoolhouse-a glorious
change.
