SowzNG SMALL SEED.-Few persons
except professional florists are SUFFICIENT
iy careful in sowing small seed. The
soil, rs 9 general thing, is not thorough
ly pulverized, and seed srs covered too
deep to insure growth. A half inch in
depth is as much as should be placed
over any of the small kinds of hover
seeds, and many OF them ought not 20
be covered more than half that depth !;
and after sowing, the surface OF the soil !,
If light, should be gently packed down
with either hoe or q spade, as this will
press it closely 70 the seed, and in a
measure prevent drying. Success or
failure in growing pIaHts usually de-
ponds upon some little difference in the
way the soil is manipulated. The pro-
fessional florist apparently does every
thing in the most hurried and careless
manner, but he never omits those i'm
portant operations which insure the life
and future growth of his plants. sf7o9

An extraordinary incident has lust
occurred at Lerida, Spain. The banker,
Jose Nunez, had two strong rooms, one
in ordinary use. and the other, which

heavy payments had to be made.
Originally two keys were provided for
the latter, but some time ago one OF
them was lost. A few weeks back q
necessity arose to visit this reserved
safe, snd to the intense establishments of
the cashier, he found 6 KEY in the lock.
he Immediately informed his employer,
and the two together opened the door,
when they found inside the corpse OF q
imam who had formerly been EMPLOYED
In the bank. He had probably stolen
the key and visited the depository with
the intention of robbery, but the door
had accidentally closed, and as It fast
ened with a spring, he had died nnisera-
bly, in the midst OF the wealth which he
desired to appropriate.

EMPORIA.

The Queen City of the Neosho VAL
ley is pluming her wings gloriously.
Emporia, five years ago mere huddle
of shanties on the bare prairie, is now
city of three thousand inhabitants, and
growing as no other town in Kansas
has ever grown before. The city organ
ization was completed during the past
month, and that on strictly temperance
basis. The Mayor, II. G. Cross, and the
entire Council come into Office pledged
to refuse all license to grog-shOps DUR
thing new and wonderful. Temperance
villages usually grow up into whisky
selling cities. We are proud to record
the high stand taken by EmpOria.
The Neosho Valley railroad is COM
pleted to Humboldt. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad is steadily
progressing. Construction trains are
now runniT within fifteen miles of
Emporia, and the road is graded to
within five miles. Thirty-three car
loads of iron for this road have just ar
rived. The first regular trains will
reach Emporia before the 1st of June.
Several large wholesale stores are
now in operation. Emporia is the point
of supply for all the region to the south
and west, and the amount of business
now being transacted is truly wonder
full. The roads leading toward Green
wood. Chase and Butler counties are
literally thronged with freighting trains
and immigrant wagons, whose cargoes
and travelling supplies are drawn from
Emporia.
Building is going on more rapidly
than ever before. Noteworthy among
the structures now in progress is /. Z.
Perley's new three story block, whose
front of sculptured marble excites the
admiration Of ali passers by. It will
be, when completed, by far the most ell
egant business house in Kansas. This
is truly day of rejoicing to the pio-
neers who have for years been struggling
to build up Emporia. Their labors have
been great, and great is their reward.
To persons who wish to make per-
manent home in the most beautiful city
of Kansas, in the midst of an intellf-
gent and orderly people, surrounded by
schools, churches, libraries, railroads,
and all the appliances of comfort and
luxury, we would say, Now is the time.
