To the Editors Of Tie -4Heqhanian
Your correspondent has had in contem-
pIation for some time the idea of writing
you and giving you a description Of a
buffalo hunt" which he in company with
a few friends, had the pleasure Of partici-
pating In some time since.
We left this city on a Monday morning,
via Union Pacific Railroad, and about !
O'Clock. p. m. were landed IN the beauti-
ful little city Of Junction, situated near
the confluence of the Little Blue and
Smoky Hin rivers. It contains n popula-
tion Of some 3 600. and is and hes been
for some time the depot OF supplies for the
Texas trade 1t IS destined To become 4
place Of some Importance in the future Of
the States progress. \ railroad IS IN
course Of construction down through the
Neosho Valley, by far the most magniti-
cent body of land in the State for grazing
purposes, but little snow falling upon 1t
during the cold season. Topeka, Manhat-
tan. and The Mission are all thriving
towns, and surrounded by a splendid ag-
ricultural country.
The next morning, after transacting
some business In Junction, our parry de-
parted westward by a freight train for
Salina. which place we reached about Il
O'Clock We passed through the splendid
valley Of the Salomon. Abilene, the prin-
cipal town, being the center Of the Texas
cattle trade. For miles around, the fields
were covered with long horned cattle
Salina. which is situated on the confines
of What was once known as the Great
American Desert. Is quite prosperous
place, and the surrounding counry Is
being rapidly settled upon by Swedes, who
are doing wonders toward tho advance
ment of agriculture and the consequent
growth Of the State.
Five o'clock arrived and 50 Gid the
passenger train, and our party were once
more on their way towards Ellsworth,
fully armed and equipped, " as We were

vidual who IS supposed to dwell some
where IN region little warmer than our

"Wen, said Peter, aif I had been in
your place | should have taken up with
the offer
Mark mentioned che name Of that same
individual again.
Why" resumed Peter, IT have been
doing tie work of a butchers boy for
whole week"
Mark was incredplous, but his compan-
ion soon convinced him, and then they
senarated, one going home happy and
contented. and the other ceire away from
homo TO tnd some sort Oh excitement In
which to drown h.s misery.
One day Peter had basket Of provis-
ions to carry to Mr.. W It was his
former employer. lie took the load upon
his arm aud started off; just as he was
entering the yard Of the customer he met
blr. W coming out.
"Ah, Stanwooi is this you ?" asked his
old employer kindly.
''Yes, sir
What are you doing now ?"
"1' m butchers boy, sir -
"A what p
''You see I've brought your provisions
Tor you sir; [ am a regular butcher boy"
And how long have you been at this
work"
''rhis is the tenth Gay, sir"
But don't it como hard -
Nothing c2mes hard so long as II Is
honest, and will furnish my family with
bread"
And how much day can you make at
this ?"
Sometimes over a dollar, and some
times not over fifty cents"
Well now look here, Stauwood. there
have been no less than dozen OF my old
hands hanging around my counting room
Tor fortnight whining for work. They
are stout able men, and yet they lie still
because ] have no work for them. Last
Saturday | took pity on Leeds and offered
him the job to do my handcarting. Itold

turned up his nose and asked me not to in
suit him! And yet he owned that his
family were suffering. But 90 YOU come
| to my place tomorrow and you Shall have
something to do, If 1t Is only to hold your
independence"
Peter grasped the old mans hand with
a joyous, grateful grip, and blessed him
fervently.
That night he gave Mr.. Snow notice
that he must quit, and on the following
morning he went to the bindery For
two days he had but very Htile to do, but
on the third day q heavy job came in,
and Peter Stanwooj had steady work
He was happy-moro happy than ever,

a noble wife he had; and second, how
much resources for good he held in his
own energies.

csasful application Of it for this purpose has been
made.
Aluminium has been employed by chemists as
reducing agent in the preparation Of some OF
more extensive use of it for this purpose.
There have recently been introduced into use
IN Paris two new alloys Of aluminium. The first
is called aluminium silver, or third silver tire

two-thirds aluminium. 1t is chiefly employed for

silver and more easily engraved. The second is
called minargent and is made Of one hundred
parts copper, seventy parts nickel, five parts an
timony, and two parts aluminium. It is very
beautiful permanent, and brilliant alloy, capable
of replacing silver for many purposes.
1t must be acknowledged that the applications
Of aluminium in the arts are not 80 numerous as
was at first predicted, and its manufacture, as

time hardly be called q metallurgical enc. The

OPIUM EATING NEW YORK..

The use of this drug by ladies' who oc-
cupy respectable positions in society, is
gradually become to the female sex what
drunkenness is to the male. The tests
mony Of the druggists in all cities prove
that the use Of it is not confined to New
York either. If opium is not used NOR
phine is, and neuralgia is the excuse in
most Of the instances. A letter from New
York says "The use of the pernicious
drug is not confined to the men there
are hundreds and thousands of women
who are in the daily habit of intoxicating
themselves with it, and they are found
in all grades of society, but chiefly among
those who are not dependent upon their
own exertions for their support. Some of
the drug stores up town and in Brooklyn
sell more opium to women than
to men, the latter buying chiefly
at the down town shops. Very
few Of the ladies who use opium venture
into the street under its influence, and
the fact that these arrests occur in pub
lie shows that the habit is very widely
spread. Many of those addicted to it
conceal the fact from their nearest friends,
while others are in the habit of meeting
in little parties and havinga social chew,
just as some of the ladies 10 Est Ten
nessee indulge in social dips Opium
takes the place of snuff, and the parties
generally get up to high pitch of eLS
thusasm. As opium does not lead to
head>breaking and combatiVe intoxica-
ton, like whisky OF other strong drink,
the fair creatures do not, save in rare
cases, disturb their Reighbors while at
these opium seances. Men make less
concealment Of the opium habit than
women, and from their more frequent
mingling in business affairs they are more
liabletO detectios. We know several men
in business who are in the habitual use
OF opium, and generally carry neat little
lamps In their pockets. The use Of the
drug gives them certain nervousness Of
manner which is probably the first sign
to be discovered. Any metropolitan
| reader of this can probably call to mind
from one to half dozen men he has met
whose manner indicates that they are no
strangers to opium"

WANT THEIR RIGHTS.

The female wing of the Bread and
Butter" brigade at Washington is thus
sketched by "0livia, the correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press, from that
city:
The President receives the people be-
tween the hours of three and four P. NJ q,
one brief hour, which, if chopped up
into seconds, would not give the multi
tude the small fraction of an instant.
And yet with this fact before their eyes,
men and women, too, go day after day
and sit in tho ante-rooms of the mansion
waiting like Micawber for something to
turn up" Oh, that loving mothers
and dutiful daughters of this broad
land could be transported to Washings
ton in the twinkling of an eye, and see
with their own eyes this scramble
for place and power There are
women enough here already for postof4
fees, TO give us taste of the time, which
we pray God may never come, when
women too shall have the right to take a
political mud,bath which only the divine
strength of manhood can endure, and not
be morally shattered forever. If by any
means the wives and mothers of this
country could have a bird s-eye view OF
the political stage in Washington, in the
madness of their horror they would
strangle every sorosis, and with their
own hands shut up every se-called strong
minded woman in the insane asylum, and
at the same time fling the keys of the
hateful institution into the uttermost
depths of the sea. Cleanse the cess.
pools of politics by going down into
them wrapped up in the white garments
Of our wOmanhoOd Never, We bold and
brazen wing OF the sisterhoOd. Any
woman who comes to Washington anC
fights for postOtfice deserves it as fret
Gift to help to ameliorate misfortune be
cause she happened to be born consti
tutiOnal mistake, for which she is for {
whole lifetime wholly irresponsible.
