We learn til It upon Saturday evening wo-
man with her babe was put of the A. r. X S.
+. train by the conductor, because she was
unable to pay her fare. She was DESTROYS OF
going to Cottonwood Falls, had no money, and
the conductor stopped the train and had her
put of. Mr.. WIN. 5. Jay, seeing how the mat
ter stood, gave the woman 50, and told her
that that would keep her over Sunday and
pay her fare to the Falls besides. Railway
corporations are BY no means always merciful.
We do not know whether the conductor acted
in accordance with the letter OF his instruc-
tlons or not, but It does seem that little hui
man feeling ought to be shown to peHniless
woman with u babe in her arms.

The readings of Mr.. Ciprico, last week,
were attended by n very few persons. About
twenty-five, all told, gathered together IN
front Of the speaker at 8 p. m. We think our
people lost fully as much as Mr.. Ciprico in
staying away. The selections were all admi-
rally recited. Mr.. Trowbridge's 'Vagabond,"
Poe's Raven" Saxe's "Pyramus and
Thisbe," a scene from "Richelieu' and Bull
wer's "Moneyless Man." comprised the pieces
which Mr.. Ciprico presented TO his small band
OF hearers. We think we never heard the
Craven" so well read as last night, and the
scene from "Richielieu," in which several
characters were represented, was given in so
happy manner as TO draw out the heartiest
applause.

The Topeka papers are enjoying a personal
controversy, the bitterness Of which has
scarcely ever been surpassed in the history of
Kansas journalism. The entire vocabulary OF
the English language has seemingly been dill
gently searched for fitting words to give APP
proPriate expression to their desire TO abuse
and auathematize. We hope that proper re-
gard for the decency OF journalism may soon
terminate u controversy which, while 1t dis
graces the participants, can do the public no
possible good.
