Written for THE NEWS.
FROM CRESWELL.

This town is situated on the Arkansas
river, twelve miles above its intersection
by the State line; said intersection be-
ing two and three-fourths miles below
the mouth of the Grouse. The Walnut
enters the Arkansas at Creswell, and
the valleys ofother streams on the south
side of the Arkansas converge at this
point, making it the natural centre of
business and population for Cowley
county.
Creswell is named as a point upon
four chartered lines of railroad, viz:
The Walnut Valley Branch of the Atch-
ison, Topeka s. Santa Fe road ; the Pres
ton, Salina s. Denver road the Empo-
ria & Holden road; and the Arkansas
Valley, or Fort Smith & Hays City road.
1t is also confidently expected that this
will be the point of crossing for the
Fort Scott 81 Santa Ee road. The Leg
islature, at its recent session, ordered the
immediate survey of q State road, by
the most direct route, from Emporia to
Creswell.
The company have determined to
spare no expense or effort to make
Creswell the metropolis of the Arkan-
sas Valley. The following are among
the enterprises already inaugurated:
Sheath s. Co., of Eldorado, have con-
tracted to put their steam saw-mill and
a shingle-machinei in operation at Cres-
we'll by tho 18th of May.
Daniel Beedy, now resident at Empo-
ria, has contracted TO build grist-mill,
saw-mill and planing-mill upon the
Creswell water-power; work to CON-
mence by July list, 1870.
G.-H. Norton Sc Co. have opened a
general stock of groceries, dry goods,
boots and shoes, which they pledge
themselves to sell at Eldorado prices.
Belts & Fraser, of Eldorado, will al
once open stock of groceries, provis-
ions, and campers supplies.
T.. II. Sipes, of Emporia, has purchas-
ed an interest in the town, and is pre-
pairing to open at CreswelI the largest
stock ofhardware, tinware and agricul.
tural implements ever offered south OF
west of EmpOria.
A stock of drugs and medicines has
been ordered by responsible parties, ant
q well-provided drugstore win speedi
ly be established.
We'are also happy to announce tina

ton of newspaper at Creswell within
the next ninety days.
Max Fawcett, recently of the Neosht
Valley CEmporia) Nursery, has trans
ferred his entire interest to Creswell
and is arranging to establish there tn
largest fruit and nursery concern il

A LOCAL EDITOR.

The Chicago Republican thus enumer-
ates the qualifications of a "iocal edi-
tor:"
"He must combine the loquacity of
magician with the impudeuce ofthe dew
il. lie must know how to time race
horse, gaff q cock, teacha Sunday school
class, preach charity sermon, run u
saw mill, keep hotel, turn double
somersault, and brew whiskey. He
must be up to thing or two in politi-
cal economy, az fat in the matter OF
cooking beans. On the trail of mystefi-
Gus items be an inveterate sleuth-hound.
His hide must be like that of rhinoce-
ros. He must be insensible TO the CRU
elest snubs and manifest no sense ofan-
ger when he is kicked down stairs. He
must thow modesty to the dogs, and let
his tiger howl. But above all he must
be an adept in the art of putting. He
must be ready at all times to say some
thing funny in regard to Smiths groce-
ry, or to surround Miss Flounee's mil
hnery establishment with a halo of
glowing adjectves. He must be enthu-
siastic on the subject of hams, verbose
in extolling hardware, and highly imag
NATIVE in the matter of dry goods. He
must talk learnedly of panoramas, with
a liberal admixture of knowing words,
such as warmth Torthshorteniug,
high lights fore ground perspective
&c. He must be heavy on concerts,
with a capacity TO appreciate Miss
Squawk's execution of difficult fcats iii
the upper register ecstatic in the praise
of double-headed calves, and eloquent
in behalf of fat women and living skel-
etons" So.

San Domingo, in search of an Ameri-

HIS INVENTIONS.

Jefferson possessed rare originality,
constructive and inventive ability. He
had passion for mechanics, and to
crafty his taste in this line had work
shop with ali necessary tools adjoining
his library. He was wont to spend a
short time here daily, working out some
mechanical idea. Beside his inven-
ton of the true mathematical princi-
pies for the construction of the mold
board to the plow, he invented a leather
top to carriage, which could be easily
extended over or folded away. 1t was
very similar to that now i'll use. He
invented machine for breaking hemp,
which could he run by horse on the
gate of saw mill. This was a COM
pIete success, and performed the work
of twenty men. He also invented nu-
meroHs small articles of convenience
for use on his farm. He manufactured
nails and wooden cloths for his servants.
His slaves were, many of them, educa-
ted mechanically, and numbered, many
respectable workmen among them. The
carriage in which he rode, his garden
seats, much of his household furniture,
and the implements used on his farm,
were the Joint work of himself and his
slaves.
HIS LOVE OF DETAILS.
He was the most precise of men in
details. His pocket account books show
that he noted the smallest expenditure
He recorded the time of planting,
sprouting or ripening of all vegetables
i'll his garden. He made table show
ing the earliest and latest appearance oil
every vegetable in the Washington
market during the eight years he was
President. In natural history he was 9
most minute observer. Nothing escap-
ed his notice. But his Notes on Vir.
ginia prove the wide range of his mind
and that he could generalize as well a:
note small things. It was an observa.
ton of DIR. johnson, that ssThe truly
strong and sound mind is one that car
