AGRICULTURAL.

HoGs.-An animated discussion has been
making progress between a Connecticut and
Il New Jersey farmer, in the columns Of The
E,Iul New YORKER, abou, Chester Whites.
The. one claiming that the breed are not
..rure bloods.' The other granting them
nj! that is popularity claimed for them. We
ar. inclined to subscribe TO the former Opin-
ion. What is understood by the breeders OF
line stock as ''rure blood" is a family OF
animals that have uniform and dtsf'ad're
structural or physical characteristics. We
have scarcely ever seen two Chester White
Logs called pure blood" bred in different
;,ens that did not show, upon close examln-
alton. marked differences in physical struc-
lure. The Suffolk is pure blood. II
has been bred into distinctive animal
Well bred, the Suffolk always develops his
peculiar traits s,rncturally and otherwise
The same may be said of he Berkshire,
Cheshire and Yorkshire breeds. But the
discussion is not so valuable in any Other
respects as in the showing OF the bad econO'
nv of the business Of raising All improbable
breed OF animals simply because they have
been well advertised. As the adjunct of the
dairy. We have always believed that there il
no more valuable or profitable breed Of hog
than the Suffolk. They will fatten upon
buttermilk, with slight encouragement in
the winding up Of the season, with corn.
Then nine months will, with good feeding
from the buttermilk reservoir, mature the
hog. That number of months will make a
two hundred and fifty pound hog dressed.
All grown during the SUMMERTIME warm
season, in other words, during the dairy
season. The Eastern farmers can't afford tO
breed stock of hogs that will not mature in
one and half or two years. One winters
feeding of grain will suffice to waste all the
profits OIL the succeeding summers growth.
1t is an important question, also for the
western farmer TO consider.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

A late number of the Springfield, Mass,
Republican speaks very encouragingly OF the
prospects of woman suffrage in that State.
We have no doub, that the vote for woman
suffrage would be very large one, or that ii
is soon to he the winning side in this State.
Few of the politicians of any party venture
to oppose it, and none that We can remember
do 80 on principle. The new Legislature Is
evidently much more friendly to it than the
last, and will probably manifest the change in
sentiment by opening more of the state offices
to competen: women. This is the first prac-
teal measure likely to be carried, and it is
much more important than many persons
think. Women have natural inclination
for good government, and their influence in
the management of our Institutions of educ.,-
ton, charity and correction, would he felt
for good at once. As for the choice OF wO-
men on school committees, that has already
grown into custom and will become more
common every year. They should also be
chosen, and soon will be, as oyerseers OF the
poor and town cierks,-placesi for which they
are as well fitted as the majority q; men who
now hold them.

are naturalized Irishmen, who would stand
side by side with a Republican administrA-
ton in war with England, Ireland's op.
pressor for nearly a thousand years, and

And here is the conclusion of the great
Buffers speech:
III, therefore, when we AJAX our just rights
and indemnifcation for our losses through

instead thereof, war as ! have sketched,
with such causes, with such hopes, with such
results and memories, ought not every pat
riotic American to address to Her Majesty s
Government; portion Of the prayer which
We were Taught in childhood 10 say to our
Maker-so much more beautiful and appro-
pirate in the original than as translated BY
English Bishops-'Sufier us not to fall into
temptation"
We conclude our remarks with .a,e hope
that this contrahand Republican has gone
over TO the Democrats. That party despises
him Ut Ieas, sufficiently to keep him out Of

The Belleville, Illinois, People says:
"In 1857 Aurora had a population of less
than 5000; the c. L. 4 Q. machine works
were located there at a cost of 500, 900 to
the citizens and the present. population is
10000. Galesburg had machine shops 10
Gated at about the same time, and the ratio
of increase of population is about that OF
Aurora. The machine shops of the Z. A.
& St. l.. X. r. were put up in Bloomington
in 1859, since which time it has doubled in
population. The Illinois Central put shops
in Champaign in 1859, since which time the
increase of her population has been 6,0OO.
The machine shops of,he c. Z. 4 l. road, built
at Logansport Ind. 10y Mr.. Young in 1866,

citizens, and the increase Of population has

We believe that the future progress of
Leavenworth will be equal to that Of Aurora.
II has excelied il in the past, with only a
few manufactures. Our prospects were never
before sogood, for they are solid and gen,i-
inc. being ON the most SUBSTANTIAL basis.

KANSAS PACIFIC MACHINE SHOP,

KANSAS PACIFIC MACHINE SHOPS.
The important works # the Kansas Pa
cifc Railway, Of which We have recently
given detailed description, may be brought
to Leavenworth instead of remaining at Wy
andotte or going to Lawrence. The latter
city has offered only one hundred thousand
dollars to secure this important object. Oar
stock in this road amounts to more than
double that sum, and We do not believe II
could be used more wisely than in bringing
the car works and repair shops of the Kan
sas Pacific to this city Oar city furnishes
facilities for manufacturing which
canno: lie found at any other place on the
road Our coal is needed by the company,
and the size of our city would be of itself
4 great advantage. Very soon our connec-
tion with Chicago will be superior to that o.
any other point ON the river, offering con-
munication by competing lines. The com
pany would be As much benefited by the
change as ourselves. We trust that our bIisi
ness men will take this matter in hand anc
communicate with Mr.. Perry, Gen. Ander
son and Mr.. Usher.

RAILROAD PROGRESS.

The first train has passed over the railroad
from Atchison TO Troy, sixteen and one half
miles. The road is graded and will soon he
in operation to White Cloud, giving Leaven-
worth an all rail connection with Nebraska,
on this side Of the river. and greatly enlarg-
ing cur area OF trade. The Atchison Cham
pion says:
We are informed BY Col. Click that ar
engagements have been perfected for Union
excursion by rail from Atchison and St. Jo-
.eph to Marysyille, rs soon As the st. Joseph
& Denver Railroad is completed to that
place Trains on the respective roads from
ST. Joseph and Atchison will be consolidated
at the junction, and proceed thence to Marys-
Vile The excursion will probably take
place early in December.
Both of the above named roads are very
| important TO lis and TO all Northern Kansas.
The counties are well settled, rich and pros
porous, and We shall no longer he strangers
to their people.
The grand celebration at Humboldt We
have already alluded TO. That inaugurated
the completion of the Leavenworth, Law
renee 4 Galveston to Humbold: and through
Allen County-and still the road is push
ing on.
The following from the Fort Scott Monitor
shows that the railroad from Sedalia to Fort
| Scott is completed:
The construction train of the Missouri,
Kansas 4 Texas Railroad will reach this
place on Saturday next, and the passenger
train will make regular trips on and after
Monday the 2Sth instant. Some of our citi-
zens have suggested the idea Of having an
opening in the course of a few weeks, and
invite the St Louis Board of Trade, and
other citizens of St. Louis, to our town.
This would doubtless he a good move, and
| would be the means Of becoming better ac-
qlaihted with the leading spirits of st. Louis,
and would AT the same time afford them an
opportunity of visiting the leading town in
Southern Kansas.
1t is almost impossible TO keep pace with.
the railway building in Kansas, j, is 50 rapid
and in 80 many different directions. One
line is completed through the State to
Colorado; another nearly to Nebraska; the
Marvsvil!e road will soon be in Nebraska !;
and two roads are completed to the Indian
Territory The next points will be Texas
and New Mexico, with endless gridironing
within our own borders The record of the
year has been progressive and glorious.

mud volcano of ours, which gets in operation
biennially and pollutes the whole atmos-
phere by its foul civilizations, throws up
more laws a, one eruption, for the unhappy
half-million of people who reside within the
limits of California, than the British Parlia'
ment, which has to regulate the concerns OF
an empire that contains rising one hundred
and eighty millions of souls"
