No doubt is now entertained but that

now deemed likely that any attempt will be
made to inaugurate revolution; but In
tho event it Is, 1t is believed that it will soon
fail. Ali parties were guilty Of violence

the elections in the capital illegal. The

WHAT THEY SAY.

The New York Worid has the fol-
lowing remarks on act of our State Leg
islature.
The telegraphic reporter of the bill
which has just passed the Kansas Leg
stature, staying the execution of their
sentences upon persons now and hence
forth convicted of murder until the Gov
ernor has issued their death warrants,
justly remarks that the bill virtually
abolishes capital punishment. The tear
full intercessions of male and female re-
latives and the signatures of eminent
citizens, who would sign with an equal
mind a petition either for the pardon or
punishment of a convicted criminal TO
rid thems selves OF importantly, are very
potent with the average Governor of an
Eastern State. We have no reason TO
suppose that the Governors of Kansas
are made of sterner stuff, or see any
more clearly the need of vindicating
the law upon those who break it, when
political cowardice, or pity almost as
cowardly pleads upon the other side.
But GoAenor who pardons takes the
responsibility of undoing the work of n
court and jury. The Governor who mere
ly omits to sign u death warrant takes
no responsibility at all. In the one case
positive action is required TO save the
man in the other positive aation is re-
quired to kill him. Inasmuch as the
Governor may save the culprit merely
by declining to act, except when the ju-
ry add to their verdict the expression
of their personol preference that the
man should be hanged; and, as jurors
are only too happy to shirk this or any
disagreeable function, life if not liberty
and the pursuit of happiness by feloni-
Gus or homicidal methods, is secured to
the criminals of Kansas.

THE EVILS OF SMOKING.

or the three methods of using tobac-
co taht of smoking has insinuated itself
most extensively among the youth of
the country, aud Is in reality the most
hurtful use that can be made of the
weed. Tobacco being employed in this
way, being drawn in by the vital breath,
conveys its poisoning influences into
every part of the lungs. There the noX-
ious fluid is entangled in the minute
spongy air-cells, and has time to exert
ils pernicious influence on the blood
not In vivifying but in vitiating it.
The blood imbibes the stimulent mar
cotic principle, and clrculates il through
the whole system. 1t produces, in con-
sequence, febril action i'm those of de-
licate habits.
When there IS any tendency to physic,
and the tubercular deposit in the lungs,
debility of these organs consequent up
or the use Of tobacco in this way must
favor the deposit of tuberculous matter,
and thus SOW the seeds of consumption.
This practice impairs the natural taste
and relish for food, lessons tho appe-
tite, and weakens the power of the
stomach generally. The great preva-
lence of raving thirst among smokers
can be traced to its action on the lungs,
and because 1t is there, instead of the
stomach, the liquors that are con-
quently swilled down do not assuage
the thirst, and medical testimony has
been turned to that point, and the
great danger. pointed out that threatens
to make us n nation of Sybarites and
Di0mies.

ONE-HALF GUILTY.

A fellow named Donks was lately
tried ut Yuba, Cal, for entering a mi
ner's tent and stealing n bag of gold
dust, valued at SIS. The testimony
showed that he had once been employ
ed there, and knew directly where the
owner kept his dust but on the night
specified he cut slit in the tent, reach
ed IN, took the bag, and then ran off.
The principal witness testified that he
saw the hole cut, saw the man reach in.
and heard him run away.
81 rushed in after him at once" con-
tinued the witness, ''but when | cotch-
ed him didn't find Bills bag but it
was found afterwards where he had
thrown it,
GLOW far did he get when he took
the dust 2" inquired the counsel.
"Well, he was stoopin' over halfway
in, should say" replied the witness.
"May it please your HONOR inter
posed the counsel, ''the indictment isn't
sustained, and shall demand an acquit-
tai on direction of the court. The pris-
oner is on trial for entering a dwelling
in the night time with intent to steal.
The testimony is clear that he made an
opening through which he protruded
himself about half way, and stretched
out his arms and committed theft. But
the indictment charges that he actually
entered the tent or dwelling. Now,
your honor, can man enter house
when only one-half of his body is in.
and the other half out ?"
81 shall leave the whole matter TO
the jury. They must judge of the INV,
and the fact is proved" replied the
Judge"
The jury, brought in VI verdict of
Guilty as to one-half his body, and not
guilty as to the other half
The Judge sentenced the guilty part
to two years imprisonment, leaving it
to the prisoners option to have the in
nocent part cut off, or take it along with
him.

HOW GRECIAN BENDS ARE MADE.

About twelve o'clock on Sunday, as
people were returning from church,
lady dressed in the height of fashion,
with gorgeous Grecian bend of mag
nificent proportions, tripped. down Sec
ond street, Maysville, n.y., in the most
style, like cat treading on
eggs. Just as she reached the corner of
Second and Sutton streets, where the
''gentles most do congregate," news
paper, neatly folded, slipped from her
skirts and fell on the sidewalk. A po-
lite newsboy saw it fall, and called to
her that she handicapped sumthin," but
she kept her eyes fixed on vacancy and
moved straight ahead, without appear
ing to hear him. A few steps further
another wad fell from the same region,
and there was a diminution of the hump
on her back. The boy yelled after her
again, II say, Missis, you're losing all
ynur papers!" The only sign of hear
ing him that she gave was a quickening
of her pace, as if she was anxious to get
away from those diggins as soon as
possible. a kind-hearted lady who
was walking behind her, and who I'M
derstood the situation, at this moment
hurried up alongside and whispered
that she was losing her bend. This in
formation caused her to turn into a
AllCHuly stairway " ICPdil uaihoSCS
but Just as she put her foot in the door,
an enormous bundle of papers, hun
dred or so in number, dropped from be-
meath her skirts and rolled upon the
sidewalk. The youngster, indignant at
the treatment he had received, and the
apparent disdain with which his polite
intentions had been met, on this rushed
forward and Selling the bundle of pa
pers startled Sabbath stiffness on the
streets with "Erc's your extra. Latest
from the seat of war!" The lady, it is
needless to say, didn't stop to take an
extra. ~

A CHANCE FOR HOMEsTEADs.

Under q recent decision of the attor-
ney general, the secretary of the inte-
rior has withdrawn for the Atchison,
Topeka 81 Santa F'e railroad company
the odd sections upon either side of the
Arkansas river as far west as Fort
Dodge, to which point the company
will push the road with all possible dis

persons desiring to obtain homesteads,
which will cost nothing but the mere
settling or occupying the lands. The
lands of the Arkansas Valley are unsur-
passed in fertility by those of any val
ley in the west, while the climate is sa-
luxurious and so mild that cattle can
Craze during the entire winter. AS yet
there are no settlements in this portion
of the Arkansas valley, but before this
year has passed the even sections will
probably be all occupied as homesteads.
