THE LATE JAMES BLUDsO. ESQ.
BYA D1sGUsrED ENGINEER.

Pye read that sereed about Bludso,
Who run on the Prairie Belle;
Whether him or the man who wrote it
Was the biggest fool can't tell,
But there's one thing that's dead certain,
The fellow who spun that yarn
Knows more about haystaeks than smoke
And l think that he'd better larn,
Before writing Of boats and engines
And engineers work and the like,
A safety valve from o throttle,
New York slang frem Pike.
And as for couple Of wives or so
And things as had or worse,
hold those are private matters
> And not Mt subjects for verse.
What look at is the foolishness
That he puts in an engineers lips,
About '.holding her nozzle agin the bank
And she way that he passed in his chips
Does he think that 4 greaser uses pole
To poke steamer along?
Don't he know that an engine III go herself
If you open the throttle strong!
A man that runs on the Mississip
Has trouble and worry enough,
Without being saddled after he's dead
With lot of disgusting stuff;
Why, fellow that didn't know more than
him
He couldn't have held place
On a "wheelberrow'' boat to tow coal scows,
Much more on packet to race.
II he had "seen his Duty at all,
He'd have known that he could do more
BY letting up on that 'yelling'' OF his
And helping the others ashore,
But if he was such dod rotted ass
AS to stay and be cooked that night,
L knew what Pike county verdict would
'Twould be ''serxed the dezsed fool just
right.'' FIT.

ON THE WING.

AUGUSTA, KAs., Jan. 80, 1871.
Since the latter part of August, 1870,
this town has increased from n place of
seven, to about fifty houses, with fifteen
others in the course of erection. The
geographical position of the place, to-
gether with the natural beauty and fer
tility of the country surrounding, have
aided in a great measure to the rapid
building up of the place, but the princi-
pal cause of its astounding prosperity
was the location of the United States
Land Office here last summer. The val
ue of this land Office to Augusta, or any
other town that may be SO fortunate as
to possess anything of the kind, is hard
ly realized by even the people who re-
side in the place themselves. The no
tells are continuously crowded with
strangers, nearly all of whom are visit
ing the town on business connected with
this Office, 1t also brings a large
amount of trade to the place from the
settlers who have located on these Usage
lands, that otherwise would go to other
places.
Convers Sc Fee have purchased the
hotel formerly known as the Augusta
House. They are gentlemen of energy,
and have had much experience in the
business. Many changes for the better
have taken place since the house has
changed hands. This hotel is now
known as the Southwestern Hotel. We
can freely recommend this house to the
travelling people who visit Augusta.
The business, and number of business
houses has increased so much since we
were here before, that we found ourself
among strangers.
The dry goods and grocery house of
Stewart Sc j ames is carrying on the
most extensive trade of any house in
town. They keep an immense stock of
goods for place of this size. Mr.. Boyle
is engaged in the hardware and tinware
business. His trade has increased SO
much that he occupies the whole of his
building, where q few weeks ago he
only had the use of half of it. Steele s.
Deming are running a bakery with the
most gratifying success. E. B. Mather
Il Co., established flour and feed store
in connection with a lumber yard,
few months ago, and have built up a
good trade. Mr.. Palmer has erected a
steam saw mill on the banks of the
Walnut below town, and is kept busy
saving native lumber, much of which
is used by the settlers in building on
their claims. There are two drug stores
here.
The real estate business seems to be
unusually lively for this time in the
year. j. NJ. Herman, Garland and Ash
craft are dealing extensively in town
lots and land.
at the time Mayor Putnam commence
ed to publish the Crescent here, seven
houses constituted the town. He has
had many difficulties to contend with,
but has succeeded in building UP good
circulation and advertising patronage !;
we are satisfied that the Crescent has
done much to aid the country and town.

HANNAH.

talked of sin and they listened in awe
AS told Of its cause and governing law
In most effective manner;
And one from out the gathered throng
Cried out in pathos deep and strong,
''Thats what's the matter with HANNAH! ~
looked around for the troubled dame,
And called her out by her given name
For did not know the other);
And 1 said with sigh, which the crowd
could hear,
HWoman called Hannah, if thou art near,
Approach thy christian brother"
My hearers laughed at my earnest cry,
And s1Put \ shanty over his eyev
Cried some in mocking fashion;
But paid no heed to the soothing few
Hannah, my sister, / call for you
In loye-not wrath or passion
"Come, then, to the altar, ON child of woev'
Then spoke another, "Not any for Joev'
wondered at him slightly,
And said: "Oh, Joseph, the flesh Is weak
1t makes me tremble to hear you speak
OF holy things so lightly"
Then up from the heather came cry
OF "Bully, old fellow" elbows that for
high?'
1t fairly made me SILVER;
And 1 trembled in heart, as well as in limb,
AS they fien6lshly screamed, Put head Oh
And pitch him into the rlyerp'
But stood my ground, and commenced to
tell
OF terrible fires in a terrible hell
That would burn them up forever
If they lived for the world. Said man of
pelf,
''Oh, golIy, you know how il is YOURSELF
To this L answered, "NeverW
And started for home, as they would not
yield,
And had neither u sword nor shield
That might defend my banner;
And to-day sigh for the slough of sin
Which one poor woman is walking in,
Whose given name is Hannah.

London (Jan. 80 Correspondence of the New
York Heratd.l
LiVingstOne's Safety Asserted Positively
Sir ROderick MurehisOn's Hopes and
Present Information

Livingstone's safety is again report
ed. The statement that the celebrated
traveller is really safe and in good
health is credited very generally in the
city to-day, despite the frequency with
which it has been circulated and denied
within eighteen months past.
/ have been assured that Sir Roderick
Murchison has received a leetter from
Africa, giving positive intelligence of
the safety of DR.: Livingstone, and the
fact will be publicly announced to the
Royal Geographical Society.
It is remarked that Sir Roderick MUIR
Gibson has hoped almost against hope in
the matter of Livingstone's safety, and
the people will be rejoiced if his antici-
pations should prove correct. In the
month of February, 1870, Sir Roderick,
writing on the subject, said:
Livingstone wrote from Ujiji on the
30th of May, 1869, to Zanzibar, request
ing to be supplied with a number of
boatmen and goods, to enable him to
reach the north of Lake Tanganiska,
and, as he expresses il, 'eto connect the
sources have discovered with the Nile
of Spoke and Baker" DR.. Kirk, in his
dispatch to Lord Clarendon of the I'd of
October, 1869, states that he would lose
no time in procuring and sending the
supplies demanded Granted that these
requirements were forwarded in a week
or two from that date, they could not
have reached Livingstone before the
middle of December, as it takes two
months to communicate between Fan
zibar and Ujiji. How then, can Living
stone have had time to organize his ex-
petition to proceed to the northern end
of Tangansika, and then around it to
the as yet unknown lakes at the head of
the Congo, by the date required to YER
ify the new rumor of his death? For
the death, as will be perceived, must
have happened ninety days before the
news reached Portuguese settlements on
the west. Even on the impossible sup
position that Livingstone started alone
and destitute as he was then at Ujiji,
without waiting for the men and sup
plies he had written for, would there
have been time for him to have pene-
traIed the totally unexplcred and ex-
tensive region lying between Ujiji and
the headwaters of the Congo. Not
but that think it quite possible that, If
foiled in connecting Tangansika with the
Nile, he might eventually return by
way of the Congo and the west coast OF
Africa"

CAUSE OF THE MAsSACREs IN CHINA.

The true cause of the massacres of
foreigners in China has recently been
brought to light. A pamphlet, or book,
has been discovered, and translated by
a missionary in China, and copies have
recently been received in this country.
This had been secretly used among the
natives as a most powerful influence
against foreigners, and one which, I'M
der the circumstances under which it
was used, there was no possible means
for successfully resisting. 1t was cir
culated from hand to hand among the
Chinese with the strongest injunction
of secrecy, and so much care on this
point had been taken that but one copy,
and that at late day.. came into the
hands of the Christians. The transla-
tor says il must have been compiled
by some one of literary ability of the
first rank, and of no mean position the
Chinese government, for such only
could have secured its distribution
throughout the country in so clandes-
tine a manner, by the hands of the man
darins and their underlings. The state
ments it contains were eOncocted with
most consummate skill as illusions of
the most outrageous falsehoods and ca
lumny. The statements are preceded
by an extract from their sacred writings
which inculcate the duty of the people
to suppress all strange religions in
their midst. The edict being held in
great reverence by the people; the
work was well calculated to influence
the people to any acts which would
drive out the foreigners and their re-
ligion.
a series of statements were intro
duced which were claimed to have been
derived from the most authentic sour
ces, or from those which set forth the
principles of the Christian religion,
from their own works. In this some
of the most revolving practices are de-
scribed, such as would not be sanction
cd by the most barbarous people. In
these statements they say that the
Christians perform their worship every
seventh day, and that when the ceremo-
ny is over they all give themselves up
to the most indecent and revolving in
tercourse of the sexes, etc. That they
practice adultery without restraint,
and that when q man dies a son may
marry his mother, and when a son dies
a father may marry his daughter-in-lawi
and that man may marry his own
daughter or sister. A large number OF
like practices are mentioned as being a
part of the Christian religion, ali Of
which were founded on like false.

All medical men agree that sarsaparilla is
the most efficient OF all the alternatives derived
from the vegetable kingdom, and the Iodide OF
Potassium the most powerful of all those OBJ
tanned from the mineral world, and all who
have had any large chemical experience are
satisfied that either Of these substances IN
creases and intensifies the power of the other.
The Potash augments the activity of the Sars-
aparilla, and this in its turn adds immensely
to the virtues of the Potash. Together. in the
combination of Edward Wilder's Sarsaparilla
and Potash, they constitute the most Powerful
Blood Purifier and Constitutional AlterGtice
ever used. No disease or affection which de-
ponds on impurity of the blood can resist its
action. Such is the confidence in 1t that cure
is guaranteed in every case where the direc-
tons are followed, in any of the following
diseases: Scrofula in all its multitudinous
forms. Chronic rheumatism, Cutaneous Alice
lions, Syphilis or Veneral Disease, Scrofulous
Sore Eyes, Glandular SweIlings of the Neck or
elsewhere, letter, Weeping Sore Leg, Ulcers
of every kind, Pimples on the Face, Ring
worm, scald Head, Falling of the Hair or AL
lopecIa, White Swelling, Ague Cake, Chronic
Erysipelas, Dropsy, &c. This medicine has
effected the most wonderful cures. So much
so, that now the most eminent physicians in
the world are prescribing it in their daily
practice. They know its worth. Now is the
season of the year when your system requires
an Alternative medicine. Then get this at once.

BY process recently discovered, have been
able to obtain from the bark Of the Wild Cher
ry (techicalIy the Prunus Virginiani) an
extract which has been pronounced by the
Pharmaceutical Society of London and Berlin
to possess more of the virtues of this invalua-
bic tree than any other ever presented to
them. One single teaspoonful of Edward Will
der's Compound Extract of Wild Cherry con-
tains more of the active principle of the Wild
Cherry than any other preparation contains in
g wine-glass full. TO this extract is added
other ingredients derived from the vegetable
kingdom, which give an efficiency, activity,
and power to this remedy which justly entitle
it to be called the Destroyer of Coughs, Colds,
Catarrhs, Larangitis, Asthma, Influenza, and
Group. Not one of these affections can with
stand it. They yield instantly to its magic
power. Besides these diseases, it is invaluable
in Pneumonia and Pleurisy. In Bronchitis,
acute and chronic, it is unfailing, and in the
cough Of Consumption it affords a reliefwhich
no other remedy is capable of doing. In its
composition are summed up all tine ingredients
necessary to effect permanent cure, which in
every case is warranted if used according to
directions.
