LINE, LIME.-Why don't somebody in this
vicinity go to burning lime? Many OF the
brickmasons and plasterers of this city have
been idle for weeks because lime could not be
had, the work on some OF the large new houses
has been delayed, and the consequence will
be that the plastCring in some of them Will be
injured by frost when It is done. Limestone
| Is plenty In the hills near town, and jt GER
tainly will pay TO burn it at thirty-five cents
a bushel. Here now Is an opening for some
enterprising men. If some of those who are
lying around idle, complaining OF hard times
and the scarcity OF work, will awake to the
| importance OF this enterprise, they would
soon cea sc TO complain OF hard times. They
can get tho stone for reasonable considers
ton, and could make lime and sell enough
during the winter to pSy their expenses,
while they could be putting kiIns and getting
out stone enough for a supply of lime to meet
all the possible demands of the next season.
| Who'll take the hint?

An anonymous writer, who does not even
tell where she lives, sends us detailed ac-
count OF the destitute circumstances Of herself
and family and the misfortunes they have suf-
fered since taking n claim somewhere in the
State, and wants to know II we can not tell them
how to obtain relief and the comforts OF life
during the coming winter. We advise her to
lay aside her foolish notions and fears Of eX-
posture, and let people know their true condi-
ton. She says she would rather go TO bed
hungry than have II known. 1t Is no disgrace
to be poor, especially If their condition is the
result OF accidents and evils over which they
had no control or no chance TO avoid. A frank
statement OF the matter TO their nearest neigh
Dor might be the best thing they could do.

We were pleased TO meet In Emporia, the
other day, Z. Haugh, Esq, the travelling agent
of Haugh & Co., manufacturers Of Jail, and
court house werk, &C., Indianapolis, Ind.
Mr.. Haugh was at Cottonwood Falls for the
purpose OF bidding on the iron work OF the
court house and Jail that Chase county is
about TO build. The work Of Haugh & Co. in
this line is becoming quite celebrated, and
they are doing larger share Of such work in
their own State, and indeed in all parts of the
northwest, than any other firm that we know
Of. Mr.. Haugh is experimenting the iron
work ut this time Of a very costly prison At
Kansas City. II Chase and Greenwood coun-
ties give their work to Haugh & Co., Wen
guarantee that they'll get as good If not better
work than they can get from any other estab-
lishment In the country for the same money.

note of the lecture. This venerable lady il

CO. She was fer forty years slave in the
state of New York. During the war she was
an interchangeable worker in the hospitals of
the army and in many other ways for the re-
lief of the colored soldiers and freedmen.
Her kindness Of heart, frankness and intelli-
gence won for her the respect of not only the
poor for whom she labored; but OF the best
men and women in the nation, and she pre-
serves with a great deal of satisfaction many
testimonials Of the esteem of the most distin-
guished persons Of the land. She travels al
most constantly, laboring with commendable
Zeal for the benefit OF her race. Her idea is TO
get the Government to set aside tract Of I'M
occupied territory for the benefit of such OF

extract on the subject of dress from a speech
at Providence, r. l.:
'pm awful hard on dress, you know. Wo-
men, you forget that you are the mothers OF
creation, you forget your sons were cut on like
grass by the war, and the land was covered
with their blood; you rig yourselves up in
panniers and Grecian bend-backs and hum-
meries; yes, and mothers and gray haired
grandmothers wear high-heeled shoes and
bumps on their heads, and put them on their
babies, and stuff them out so that they keel
over when the wind blows. oh, mothers, I'm
ashamed of ye! WhatwilI such lives as you
live do for humanity? When I saw them
women on the stage at the Woman's Suffrage
Convention, the other day, l thought, what
kind OF reformers be you, with goose wings on
your heads, as If you were going to fly. and
dressed in such 3 fashion talking about re-
form and woman's rights? Pears to me you
had better reform yourselves first. But So
journer is an old body, and will soon go out Of
this world into another, and wants to say
when she gets there, Lord. have done my
duty, I have told the whole truth and kept
