MONEY GETTING.-Some people think
that it is necessary to be mean and mis-
erly in order to become wealthy. There
never was greater mistake. Amy man
of common intelligence may be pros
porous if he chooses to labor diligently
and faithfully in calling which he
thoroughly understands. Of course
prudence is indispensable to success.
Prudence, not niggard meanness. The
man who, commencing with little or
nothing, has resolved to rise, must re-
solve also to sacrifice nothing to appear
ance. He can not gain one true friend
nor obtain any popularity that will be
really useful to him in his efforts to
achieve independence, by endeavoring
to seem to have that which he has not:
The world is shrewder than pretention
supposes it to be. 1t is curious world !:
looks sharply into peoples private af-
fairs, and if an individual makes a show
beyond his means, soon discovers and
distrusts him. No one who has q for
tune to make, or who desires even a
moderate competence, can afford TO in
cur the worlds distrust. Therefore, if
you are at the foot of the ladder and
want to mount, go up in your work
day guise, and don't affect purple and
fine linen.

Dr.. Laennec.

This renowned Frenchman did more per-
haps to clear up the mysteries which before
his time had invested the nature OF chest di-
seases than any other MUSICIAN who ever lived.
Yet with all his skill in detecting the nature
and form OF the malady before him, he was
sadly deficient in his knowledge of remedies.
He drew vivid pictures of coughs, catarrh, and
all the affections of the air passages, still he
left but few words concerning their treatment.
The youngest physician to-day knows better
how to manage any one of the chest troubles:
he knows the value of the wild cherry; he is
acquainted with its supreme virtues; he is
aware OF the many potent agents which enter
into the combination of Ed,oard WfLdeT's
Compound Extract Of RiId Cherry, and knows
that with the use of this truly great medicine
he is fully master Of the situation. He has no
fear in the presence of Group, no misgiVings at
the advance OF bronchitis; he grapples with
consumption, and subdues every cough, cold,
or catarrh- Hence every family should always
have this Invaluable medicine at hand.

Guadianna River.

The British army, when it advanced on Tai
avara and fought that celebrated battle, which
was followed by q retreat into the plains, lost
more men by the malarial diseases contracted
on the banks Of the Guadianna than by the
bullets Of the enemy. They died by thousands.
All Europe believed that the invading army
was extirpated. Yet malarial diseases are no
more common in Europe than in our own coun-
try; they exist throughout the length and
breadth OF our land-everywhere at some time
and In some shape are we made to feel the sick
ening influence Of mIasma. The three great
actors in this equation OF disease solar heat,
moisture, and vegetable decomposition. The
trio if separated are harmless, together they
are more potent for evil than any other known
agents; so long as they exist, just so long will
we have need Of medicine which viii over
come their pernieious effects; soiOng will it be
necessary to have remedy capable of meeting
and beating the insidious enemy. OF ali
known agents for this purpose, none is to COM
pare with Etisoard WIIde4's Chiu Tonic, the
master Of every form and variety and grade
and degree of malarial disease and of MAS
matte poison. Try it, all who are suffering
from any form OF ague and fever or ehills and
fever, as a cure is guaranteed in every case.

EUROPE FOR SlS1 IN CURRENCY
Ralph Keller tells us in the atlantic, for
July, how. much of Europe he saw for
the above sum:
He walked from Toledo, Ohio, to
New York at cost of So, and paid S33
for passage to London; visited Paris,
Strasburg; Heidelberg, when, having
$50 in gold, he matriculated; boarded
for fourteen cents per diem ]; found what
the students did not do-study what
they did-carouse and vagabondize.
At Christmas he was penniless until
evening, when he received $50 from
home, for correspondence. This sus-
tanned him unspecified months longer,
during which he received another re-
mittance of $50. He then quit the Uni
versity, visited various cities, and met
6. A. Townsend in Paris, by whom he
was inspired, when he had but two
dollars, to write for the London maya
zines. He received an unspecified for
tune in reply, while debating whether
poison was an easier death than drown
ing, and visited Italy. at Florence he
dined sumptuously, including wine for
five cents, and wintered there. He
tried the London magazines nnsuccess-
fully, when his funds gave out again !;
reached Leghorn with less than dime,
and got home by the generosity OF an
American ship-master. Here he found
the cash for an article he had sent to
another English magazine, and SO re-
turned to Toledo after two years in
Europe.

PUNCHISELLo's CONDENSED CONGRESS.
Mr.. Morrill, introduced a bill to in
crease the mileage of members. No
toriously, he observed, the mileage of
members was scandalously small. He
knew that the self-sacrificing nature of
the Senators would delight to pay this
tribute to the fidelity of themselves, and
the equally deserving public servants
of the other house. Passed with ac-
CARNATIONS.
A resolution was introduced to ap-
propriate few millions toward the
discovery of the North Pole.
Mr.. Salisbury said-Whazyoose?
Mr.. Sumner explained that it would
be good thing for science.
Mr.. Cole explained that il would be
an enormous thing for fishermen.
Mr.. Yates explained that it would be
a vast thing for "cobblers."
Mr.. Salisbury said-Ahi B'gthing on

The Louisville Commercial says that,
as general rule, the colored people of
that city are steadily advancing. One
year ago there were only 574 of them
depositors in the savings bank. Now,
there are l ,230 depositors. The richest
colored man in this city is worth $780,
600 or $4,000, but there are many who,
within few years have secured houses
and lots that are now worth several
thousand dollars each. They have alto
bership is estimated at 400. They
have eighteen or twenty singing societies
and one literary society with large
membership, while another has Just
started. There are over twenty secret
societies most of which have grown out
of church felIowihip.

eLARKs RECoRD-THE OLD DODGE.


Sidney Clarke has resorted to the old
dodge by introducing number of bills
in the House granting lands to railroad
corporations for the sole purpose of
gaining popularity in the localities
through which the roads are to pass.
We imagine the people of Kansas. will
very easily see through this fimsy
scheme of Mr.. Clar,-is to secure their
vote at the next Stale Convention.
They have doubtless read some of
his speeches during the past year, against
land and railroad monopolies, denounc-
ing all such things as detrimental to the
interests of settlers, and ruinous to our
Republican form of government
Mr.. Clarke introduced the bills in the
House which subsequently passed,
granting land to the Neosho Valley
road, and the Leavenworth, Lawrence
and Galveston road. He also favored,
and was one of the prime movers in
securing the ratification of the Chero-
kee Neutral Land treaty, which he has
never attempted to deny. 1t is well
known that on certain occasion in
Philadelphia, when it was rumored that
there was a probability of the treaty
failing to pass, he made the remark;
81 must hurry back to Washington to
help make the JOY purchase"
On the 9th of September, 1866, we
were in Paola and heard him make a
speech, in which he took strong ground
in favor of ceding all the Indian lands
along the line of the Leayenworth,
Lawrence and Galveston and Border
Tier roads. This speech was published,
and from a copy now before us we
make the following extract:
This policy ought, and think will,
secure to your road (the Border Tier,)
by treaty, valuable Indian lands in Mi
ami and Johnson counties, and the
Cherokee Neutral and other Indian
| lands south of Bourbon county.
The Usage Lands, west of the Chero-
kee Neutral Lands, should, in like man
ner, be coded to the Leayenworth, Law
renee and Galveston Road. What
can accomplish to this end, as your rep
| reseatdtire an the Loscer House Of Con-
gress, 1 shall labor earnestly to do"
For once Clarke was as good as his
word, and supported the measure right
straight through. But he wanted the
Border Tier then. He soon found out
that there was great dissatisfaction
| among the settlers on the Cherokee
Land, so he concluded to change his
policy after he knew he could affect
nothing towards breaking up the treaty,
and turned against the treaty of 1866,
and the JOY supplemental treaty.
Now there is to be another election
this fall, and Sidney wants more sup
porters: but he will hardly deceive the
people into supporting him again on
the same old dodge, with his black rec
ord of demagoguery and political COR
ruption behind him.-F0rt Scott Non
itor.

LEAYENWORTH AND TOPEKA RAIL.
ROAD.

On Tuesday of the present week a
contract was signed which, in our opin-
ion, secures the building of a railroad
from Leavenworth to Topeka. 1t is
well known that work on the bridge
over the Missouri river at Leavenworth
has not progressed rapidly, and it has
been feared that the enterprise was not
in the right hands. 1t has now been
turned over to Mr.. Tracey, the Presi-
dent of the Rock Island Railroad, and
to those he represents, and they bind
themselves to build the bridge as expe-
ditiously as possible. This is the same
interest that is building what is known
as the Chicago and Southwestern Rail-
road, which runs from Davenport,
Iowa, Opposite Rock Island) west
wardly through Iowa, with branch
from Ottumwa, through Missouri, to
Leavenworth This branch is rapidly
approaching completion and will be
| through to Leavenworth in a short
time.
Of necessity, an interest representing
such long line of roads-really extend
| ing to New York via the n. Y. Central
and hudson River roads-will not stop
at Leavenworth. They must to secure
the traffic they will naturally think
| belongs to them, have an independent
| line to Topeka to connect with the A.
T. s. S. f. Road. To us it seems that
the completion of the Chicago and
Southwestern road to Leavenw orth, and
the building of the bridge at that point
secures the building of a road TO Topeka
and that, too, within very short time
after the bridge shall be completed.
This is a matter of congratulation MOI
only to Topeka but to the whole State.
The contracts are now signed and seal
ed that beyond cavil will make Leav.
enworth a city of Importance. Here
tofore she has only been on a switch, a.
it were. Now she will become a rail
road center, and take new lease O
life. Every Kansan will rejoice at thii
as our people very naturally prefer
that large city shall be built in this
State, rather than in Missouri. On the
| whole, we consider the work done las
| Friday good one, not only for Leav
enworth and Topeka, but for ali Kansas
as well.-Record.

An On PRINCE HAULING COAL.-A
Housewife Pa.) correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Commercial says:
Johnny Steele" the farmer boy, oil
prince, millionaire, but now teamster, is
one of the celebrities of this town. As
q seif-made man he is as striking an ex-
ample as can be found anywhere. Five
or six years ago it was estimated that
he was worth between 100000 and
100000: but to-day he is reduced to
the necessity of earning an honest iv-
ing by hauling coal along the streets of
Housewife, and is doubtless q greater
blessing to the community than in the
days of his prosperity. His case fur
nishes an apt illustration of the truth of
the old adage, that ''riches take unto
themselves wings" as can be desired ;
but, unfortunately, whisky and fast life
furnished the wings. It is marked
fact that the majority of the old resi-
dents, who became all of a Sudden i'm
menseiy wealthy, are to-day sunk in
poverty almost as deeply as before they
woke up and discovered that they were
the possessors of vast wealth.

A SUBsrITUTE.-Mr. Pilkinson, a
farmer in Pennsylvania, was drafted for
the service of his country. His wife,
though she possessed but a small stock
of general information, is one of the
best conjugal partners, and she was
much troubled at the thought of parting
with her husband. AS she was engaged
scrubbing off her door-steps, a rough
looking stranger came up and thus adj
dressed her:

has been drafted"
Eyes, sir, he has," answered Mrs.
PiIkinson, though, dear knows, there's

families"

myself as substitute for him."

the stranger.

you wretch I'll teach you how to in
suit distressed woman in that way,

the face of the discomfitted and aston

Just in time to save his head being bro

A good story is told concerning a
visit made several years ago by party
of prominent Republicans of Delaware
to President Lincoln. Our Delaware
friends. with a proper appreciation of
their position as representative gentle
men of the party, informed the Presi-
dent that they were all influential citi-
zens, and among the heavy men of the
upper part of Delaware. $50 you all
belong 10 the upper end of the State ?"
reflected Mr.. Lincoln, with roguish
twinkle in his eye, and then with look
of earnest solicitude, inquired. els
there no danger of the State fitting
while you are away?" The party had
good laugh over this joke at their ex-
pense, but nevertheless resolved that it
should not be suffered TO leak out at
home. 1t was too good to be kept,
however, and the surest way, even now,
to rile one of these ''heavy men" is to
ask him, when about departing from
home, if he is not afraid the State will
tilt.
