True.

Every conscientious editor of a
weekly paper will endorse the truth
of the following, from correspondent
of the Xenia Gazette:
The publisher of a weekly sheet has
a much severer task than the manag-
ing editor of a fast and sensational
daily. What need the latter care for
the errors, neisstatements (to draw it
miId,) and contradictory matter that
is always found in the daily press
the whole body, "form and pressure, "
of which is of short-lived, ephemeral
character, talked of to-day and for
gotten to morrow?
But the caterer for the country, ru-
raj reader, must select and weigh the
truth of his matter, and not willingly
(and he will not be excused if he ol,
,Oittingly) give currency to i'll founded
reports.

further to the north, sandstone IS theI
great basis; south Of the line, limestone
forms the grand basis. And there Is
not a farmer but knows that the lime
stone soil is always the best, either for
grain, grass or fruit.
Some portions of Missouri have a
dearth of water, but here we have all
that could be desired. Fine streams,
flowing through the land, beautiful
springs, pouring forth clear volumes on
every hand; good wells obtained all
over the prairie with as little labor as
in Old Highland-these are our acatsT
privileges; no one can ask better.
Lying underneath our soil, is untold
wealth in minerals, etc. Gold and sill
yer have been found lead and coal
in quantity; coal oil, but not In pay
ing quantities. Missouri is noted for
minerals, and Jasper county has
large share, consisting for the most
part of Lead. The lead mines of this
county will be more fully described in
future letter.
Now a word about our timber. In
this particular we are, of course, be-
hind Ohio. It will be borne In mind
that Ohio is timbered country, Mis-
souri, a prairie country. And yet we
have as much timber as is usually
found in prairie State. Those who
come from Illinois say we have a well
timbered country, but the Hoosier will
turn up his nose with disdainful pride,
and say ours is not to be compared,
either in quantity or quality, with the
timber Of Indiana. We grant it, but
Illinois is Outstripping Indiana in i'm
prOvement and wealth, because the one
is prairie, the other timbered cOun-
try. The war unclaimed Missouri and
she has joined the race, and at no very
distant period will Outstrip both Ohio
and Indiana. Her luxuriant prairies
invite the industrious HOosier, the in
Itelligent Buckeye, the shrewd Yankee.
Men of might pour in upon US from
every part of our great country, and
from many of the countries of old Eu-
rope. Ere long we shall have a mighty
people in this mighty State.
But began to talk about our tim
Der resources. Most Of our timber is
found along the many streams flowing
through this part Of the State, and con.
sists of black, white, red and pin oak,
walnut, sycamore, hack berry, hickory,
elm, ash, maple and mulberry. No
beech in this part of Missouri. We
/ have also the box elder, persimmOn,
paw-paw, black-haw, dOgwOOd, thorn,
cherry, etc. Besides these, we are
within a days drive of the extensive
]
/ pineries in northern Arkansas. Mills
are established in various parts of those
extensive forests, and are cutting hun
dreds of thousands Of feet of lumber,
which finds its way into the markets
of all this Southwest country. Thus
do we obtain our soft lumber, and for
hard lumber, mills everywhere on our
streams are furnishing that.
Having now given some Of the nat
ural characteristics of this part of Mis-
souri, will in my next letter tell the
reader something about the products o.
the soil, character Of the people, future
prospects, etc.

Spring is coming From their sleeping

Birds are singing, blithely winging,
Mid the swinging branches cliugingl
Nature says that Spring is near Us
That's prospect which should cheer US
Spring is coming But her pleasing
Promises may end in freezing
All the buds and blooms are lost,
May or April bringing frost
Nature cries that Spring Is coming,
But experience says she's humming.

Success of the Quaker Agents
among the Indians.
The New York Tribune saws:

Inc new / Ork tribune says:
We have lately read reports from
several of the Quaker Christians who
were last year appointed as In
dian Superintendent and Agents
They all seem to be meeting with re-
markable success; and their humane
policy appears to be producing better
results for all parties concerned than
any other Indian policy ever tried by
our Government. OF Superintendent
Janney, who has charge of the Paw
nees, Winnebagoes, and other tribes,
we have the most encouraging ac-
counts. He has gathered hundreds
.of the Indian children into his schools,
and has proved the feasibility of their
being brought into civilized ways and
habits. He recently gave all his
scholars new suits of clothing and
blankets, which had been voluntarily
contributed by the Qnakers of the
country; and we are told that happier
crowds of boys and girls were never
seen, while their mothers looked on
with pride and joy. Compare such a
scene as this with the frightful scene
recently witnessed in Montana, when
nearly two hundred Piegan Indians,
mostly women and children, were put
to the sword by the troopers Of Col.
Baker. Compare this humane and
Christian policy of the Qnakers with
the heathenish and murderous policy
which we have SO long enforced. We
are sure that, in view of the develop
ments of the past year, President
Grant cannot have any doubt about
his duty in extending the Quaker pol
icy which be wisely initiated on en-
tering upon office. Iti as advanta-
geous to the white settlers, who arc
the objects of Indian revenge, as to
the Indians, who are the victims OF
the white mans saVagerV.

REV. DR.. Chalmers said:-"The little that
have seen in the world, and know Of the
history of mankind, teaches me to look
upon their errors in sorrow, not in anger.
When I take the history one poor heart
that has sinned and suffered. and represent
TO myself the struggles and temptations II
has passed through; the brief puisations of
joy; the tears of regret; the feebleness OF
purpose; the scorn of the world that has
little charity, the desolation of the souls
sanctuary and threatening voices within;
health gOne-happiuess gODp-I would
ftin leave tile erring soul of my fellow man
with Him from whose hands IL canIe."

Feaeh Temperance On Sunday

Aeaeh temperance lu Sunday
schools.
The Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler urges
q duty in this manner:
"Agreeing that drunkenness is
sin, we must go back to the formation
of the habit, to the indulgence of the
appetite that produces it. Our Sum
day schools, dealing with the Begin
ming of life, should logically deal with
the beginning of sin. As teachers Of
mission-schools, you do not meet from
Sabbath to Sabbath thieves and rob
bers full grown, but you deaf with.
little acts Of dishonesty which, if not
checked, lead 10 the burglar" prison
cell. You do not meet murderers there,
but you teach the children that the
spirit Of revenge, hatred and anger
INDUCED in, grows up to stalWart mur-
der. You deal with the incipienl
profanity, incipient Sabbath-breaking,
incipient disobedience, ineipient MUIR
der, incipient dishonesty. ineipient
falsehoOd, and incipient unbelief. And
having struck at seven signs, will you
refuse to strike at the eighth? Hay-
ing boldly come up to your duty in
reference to all these, will you now
fall back and taboo this other sin Of
incipient drunkenness? Yuu can not
do il logically. You can not do it,
Therefore l hold that you are to deal
with every one Of these children as if
| it were a possible thing for them to
become drunkards and thieves and
murdeFers and Sabbath-breakers and
liars, and adapt your instruction, your
warnings, and your cOunsels, with that
solemn thought in view. There is
not child in a brown stone or tene'
ment house in the city OF New York
tonight, that you may look upon and
say with perfect certainty, 81 know
that child will never be drunkard r.

THE FRUIT CROP. According to
the Norfolk Virginian, the late "cold
snap" in that region destroyed the vi

which had put out under the influence
of the warm weather during the past

sections of the country for the safety
of the fruit crop.

Now, Mr.. Editor, is that not enough
to make one leave Kansas? The con-
sequence is: Kansas is supporting a
dissatisfied and floating population, in
stead of quiet, tranquil and happy
peOple-all brought about by a certain
class who wish to make Kansas equal
to old States in a few years in wealth
and population, even before the people
have time to improve and develop its
resources .....
I'd cause. We have little home in
Ohio, among friends and relatives
we'll satisfed-we can make a respect
able living and pay our taxes also
which we could not do if in Kansas on
IS, 900.
Improved land in LeavenwOrth Co.,
rates from SIS to $40 per acre, owing
to quality, improvements and locality.
Taking the locality, quality and i'm
provements Of James Duncanson's land
into consideration, it is worth not far
from SIS per acre-at lest that was
about the value 6 months ago.
In conclusion 1 will say, if we have
not the "vins" to stay in Kansas, we
can give few of its attributes.
Yours very respectfully,
