Union Stock Yards daily show, that
there is a constant and strong demand
for the fine first~class beeves at good
prices, while the lower and inferior
grades cannot yield, except in isolated
cases and under extraneous circum-
stances, but moderate margin on their
cost.
It is desirable that Western farmers
investigate this question of beef supply,
and it is desirable that practical feeders
give it the attention which it deserves.
The subjoined article is from the New
York Commercial Advertiser:
The failure of Texas, the great meat
grower for the United States, to supply
| the increased demands for cattle, has
| turned the attention of cattle breeders
to other bases of supply for the eastern
market. This has become q necessity,
as the demand for some time has been
uniformity greater than the supply.
This disposition, of course, will increase
unless some such movement be made.
the great plains of Kansas, Nebraska
and Colorado, are specially adapted to
grazing, and the attention of cattle
| growers is being turned to the advisa-
bility of utilizing them by stocking
them from Texas. A large number OF
cattle from Texas have been hitherto
fatted in Illinois and adjoining States
but disposition of late has been shown
to take them to the cheaper pastures
west of the Missouri.
The progress of railroad construction
in Kansas will add considerably to the
facility for supplying the Eastern States
with cattle. Within a few years two

The extension of railroad facilities is O

Not only is the driving slow, but very
destructive to the cattle. They canno
travel more than eight or ten miles
day, and then only at a great loss o
flesh. Even at that rate, it is necessar,
that they should have good pasturagl
at the end of each days journey. Thi

CHINA AND THE CHINESE.

Considerable confidence has been
cherished during several of the
last years that the old customs and pref
udices of the Chinese people with re-
gard to holding communication with
the people of other nations were being
modified to such an extent that they
would soon be upon the same footing,
as relates to international matters, as
most of the countries of the world. A
disposition to remove the old barriers
was thought to be seen in their permits
sion to large numbers of their subjects
to seek employment in this country. 1t
was not to be expected that the infiu-
ences which led to the immense labor
and expense of constructing their an
cient wall would be easily changed, for
it must have been strong principle
which governed their actions in SUBJ
jecting the country to such enormous
expenditures.
While Cinnamon were not often to be
seen mingling in any way with the peo-
pie of other countries, they have recent
ly sought and obtained employment by
our people, and have become an import
ant addition to the industrial resources
of our country. But at an unexpected
time they have suddenly turned back,
and their old prejudices, which had
slumbered for a number of years, have
burst forth with new and malicious en-
ergy. They claim to have had some
provocation, and it is not unlikely that
the Roman Catholic missionaries may
have repeated some of those indiscre-
tions which led to the abduction of the
Jewish child Morata, few years ago,
but no evidence has reached US that they
had INDUCED in such imprudent inter-
ference as to constitute anything like a
proper excuse for the cruel revenge in
which they have INDUCED. 1t seems
peculiarly important that the Chinese
government has manifested so much
| apathy with regard to bringing the &C.
tors in the massacre to justice, while it
was apparent that some persons high in
| Office were connected with the affair. II
seems apparent that the strong arm OF
the injured governments may yet be re-
quired in order to set the matter right,
if indeed such injuries can be thus
atoned for.

GENERAL BUTLER SPEAKS.

General Butler seems to indulge in
some of his old enthusiasm with regard
to our national affairs. He is man of
impulse and of apparent strong convic-
victions, and he has recently hit upon a
hobby which he thinks will place the
present administration in the most ia
vorable position before the country, and
will secure the reelection of Grant be-
yond any contingency. His idea seems
to be that the administration may make
itself extremely popular by pressing the
British government with the utmost
vigor for the adjustment of the Alabama
Claims, and that the isue ought not to
be longer delayed. Whether this coun-
try ought, or can afford TO indulge in
any thing like annoyance in this matter
seems to be question of some doubt,
especially after the conciliatory attitude
which Great Britain has recently assum-
ed, with regard to the adjustment OF
that matter.

MEssRs. EDIToRs.-I believe YOU
were the first to point to the honored

ton has been widely and favorably re-
ceived by q large number of the repub.
lican papers throughout our State. ]

backed up as you are by the intelligence
and responsibility of the people, will
continue your endeavors until the thing
is consummated. We have just elected

Let US send to keep him company, thai
man, who above all others, has won fol
himself name for honesty and fear.
lessness of purpose in discharging hi:
duty second to none in the State.
With Judge Lowe in the House and
Gov. Crawford in the Senate, our State
will at once command the respect Of
the whole country. No longer can il
be said that the Representatives of Kan
as are in the market. No lobbyist Oh
political shyster will dare approach
either of them with impure PROPOSE
tons. Kansas, instead of as now being
a by-word and reproaeh throughout
the country, will take her place as the
rising young State of the West. Her
influence will be heard and felt, at the
White House and in Congress. Propo.
sitions made by her representatives will
be listened to with respect, and treated
with Difference.
Push on the good work, gentlemen,
do not flag in your exertions. The
people are with you; the interests OF
our young State, which in the next de.
cade will take her place along side OF
Illinois in population, demands at the
hands of her Legislators, the appoint
ment of true, tried and incompatible

myself of the first opportunity to fur

The first house in Florence was fin

corner stone was laid with proper cere-
monies. A copy of the New Testament
and eleven pieces of silver. were depos-
tied under the corner stone. It is not
worth while to name all who contribu-
ted silver for the occasion, but will
merely state that j. NJ. Steele, of En-
poria, donated the browning piece.
The best wishes of those present were
offered for the prosperity of the town.
Just as the ceremonies were closing
Captain L. A. Thrasher drove up, ac-
companied by his wife. She was the
first lady on the town site, and by the
way, is of fine, noble appearance, and
excellent culture. 1 feel sure that the
town will prosper if inhabited by such
people as the Captain and his wife.
This first building will be occupied
by Captain Thrasher for land Office.
He will have charge of the business of
Crawford, Steele & Co. He will be
ready in few days for biz. The firm

THE CATTLE SUPPLY.

This question is among those occupy
ing the forefront of topics which en-
gage the attention of active business
men and farmers throughout the
country. The immense number of cat
tie required annually for the shambles,
and the still increasing demand, consti-
tutes one of the vital interests of the
hour, and the attention of farmers as
well as others interested cannot be
otherwise than attracted to it.
The supply of Texas cattle is already
inadequate to the demand for beef, and
dealers and breeders are looking for
other fields where cheap cattle may be
obtained to satisfy the increasing in
quiry. In the meantime, more atten-
ton is given by farmers In the great
grain-growing States of the Northwest

class of cattle which shall more fully
meet the wants of shippers and give
profitable returns. The Texas cattle
yield beef of inferior quality and bring
less than beeves fatted on the farms of
judicious and intelligent farmers. We
repeat here what we have before said,
and what the quotations at the Chicago

Wellington, South Africa. In fanati-

the Mormons. One Grovenewond, a
Hollandish peddler, who left the Dutch
Reformed Church and set forth certain
wild tenets of his own, is the founder.
He has gathered around him various
proselytcs from Europe and the neigh
borhood of Wellington. They expect a
manifestation of the presence of the
Deity at Wellington, not unlike that
given to the ancient Israelites; repudi-
ate all family relationship, and prac-
