"CLEAR GRTT.'-Rey. Robert Collyer deliv-
cred his lecture ON ''Clear Grit at Bancroft
Hall Friday night, to large and intelligent
audience, who left the hall we'll pleased. Mr..
Collyer commenced by defining his subject,
which may be condensed by saying that it
was that quality Of soul that prompted men to
perform deeds of moral herolsm. He illustrat-
ed it by many anecdotes, many Of which were
exceedingly humorous, and all new and point
ed. His manner while he confines himself to
his manuscript, is not so pleasant as when he
abandons it to give expression to thought
suggested by the time aud place or to tell an
anecdote not recorded in his lecture. He
speaks from paper as though he could nOtwell
endure such restraint, and as though he would
like TO break away from it and give expression
to impulsive thoughts that continually spring
up within his soul with restless beatings to be
uttered. He has n voice of remarkable power,
but II has NOT been well cultivated, and his
enuneiation at times is not good. But it is
less the manner than the matter Of his dis
course, that fixes the hearers attention and
holds it FROM beginning to end. He gives peo-
pie something to carry away with them. and
that something is some Of the richest gems OF
thought. He Is himself practical iIustra.

The mechanics have rushed work an the NJ.
Il. church the past week. 1t is now so far ad-
Yanced as to command the admiration of all.
A gentleman from EmpOria stood the other
day and gazed at it some time, finally remark
ing that there was no doubt of it, that Hum
boldt tar surpassed Emporia in building, and
that it was not ut all probable that the latter
city would have a church building in the next
five years equal to either the Presbyterian or
Nj. E. church of Humboldt Union.
The gentleman from Emporia above referred
to edidently was never in any other situation
than from Emporia.'' If not so, he was de-
plorably ignorent of the buildings projected in
| this city. The Episcopalians have the founda-
ton laid and nearly all of the material ON the
ground for their new building, which when
completed, as it will be the ensuing summer,
will far surpass anything yet conceived in
Humboldt. The Presbyterians also have
three lots on the same square occupied by the
Episcopal church, on which they will put up
a fine brick building this year, which will be
more elaborate in design and finish, if it does
| not exceed in size, the new church the Union
boasts of. The Methodists, who have quite q
commodious stone building, find it too small
for their congregation, and are contemplating
the erection of much larger house. Two
other denominations are considering the eXpe-
diency of building houses of worship, and

growing congregations. The Baptists have
dedicated three weeks ago one of the neatest
frame houses to be found in the State. So
much for churches.
In addition to these there were five times as
many dollars put into brick business houses
in Emporia last year as were expended in
Humboldt, according to the information we
have had of that ambitious village.
The same paper boasts that, in consequence
Of mere hint thrown out by by it, two firms

true that the article in this paper, once upon a

FORT SCOTT, OTTAWA AND ENIPoRIA.-Of
all the cities Of Kansas, Fort Scott, Ottawa
and Emporia are the most enterprising and
progressive. All three of these young giants
have excellent railway connections, and each
OF them are expecting still increased facilI-
ties in this direction. These alone, however,
are not what have placed them on the lead
among Kansas towns, nor what is to keep
them there. 1t Is because their citizens are
imbued with that iLdominitabie. mo let up
pluck, which knows not the word failure; ag-
gressive spirits who know what to do and how
to do IL. Another element of strength has
been their unsparing use of printers ink The
best newspapers in the State to-day are pub
lished in Fort Scott Ottawa and Emporia.
Show US good newspapers and We'll show you
large-hearted, open-handed, Industrious peo-
pie. And where this class is found flourish
ing community is also found. This rule holds
good especially in the ease OF Fort Scott, Otta-

the present year than in any other three
