Kansas.

AS many of our readers are some
what interested in Kansas, having
friends there, the following in re-
gard to the cattle of that state will be
of interest to them. We have little
idea of the vast herds of cattle that
are kept and fed in Kansas for our
eastern markets. The following which
we take from the Kansas Central Ad-
vocate, gives us very good idea of
the cattle trade, in the far west. 1t
says:
At least $4,000 head are now in
Saline County to be wintered for the
owners $4,000 head more on the
same terms are scattered throughout
the valleys of the Solomon, the Saline
and upper Smoky Hill River; $4,000
more in Dickinson Marion and Nc
Pherson counties, and at least as MANY
more in Bntler and Sedgwick counties
in Central and Southern Kansas while
about $4,000 more are now in the big
bend of the Arkansas River, west of
Wichita and South of Fit. Zarah, and
will be held over by their owners
The big bend is an admirable place in
which to hold stock, it being the ia
vorite winter quarters for the Buffalo;
which animal, this season, had to be
hunted out before a Beef was permitted
to enter. 1t is safe to say that 200,-
600 head of Texas Cattle will be held
over in Central Kansas for their own
ers' account, while st least 100000
more are owned and will be wintered
by our own people. Greater guam
titles than usual of hay have been put
up to meet this very emergency, and
the enormous stock of cattle now Oh
hand will come out, next June. in fine
condition.
Kansas is beautifully supplied
with fine and wholesome water, every
where within reach we have the fin
est of natural grasses-from the buff
alo grass growing but two or three
inches long the Gramma, the Mesquit.
the Prairie, to the Blue Joint, of
which VIC have samples niue feet long.
These grasses cure naturally and a
stack of Hay will at all times be for
saken for the range. la the rayines
and sheltered places, such is our tenn
pcrate and agreeable climate, grass re.
mains green all winter.
The effect of low prices this season
will be high prices next year. Ranch
men in Texas are slow to fall in price,
and will prefer to let their stock run
another year. as it costs them nothing
so to do, and Drovers will not buy I'M
less very great reduction, from this

Originality.
By MATTE J, ROACH.

Originality, hast thou forever fed from earth
While all creation stands aghast,
To admire thy wondrous worth.
f,ut where amidst this wide expause,
O. where may'st thou be foundi
Art thou now in the ether blue,
Or somewhere meath the groundl
Thou hast not stepped on hill or dale
For generations past,
And full thousand years have NED
Since brook has seen thee last.
There's not flower that decks the vale
But thou hast long forsook,
And Eden's first inhahitant
Sent thee from shaded NOOK
Thou hast been chased DER western wilds,
And tracked DER desert sands;
And pedants for thee long have sighed
In oriental lands.
Thou hast been hurled from Etna's height,
Down through its liquid flame,
And cen in Oceans briny depths
Thou should'st OF there remain
A strange. peculiar trait hast thou,
Not common among men;
Where once thy radieut face Is seen,
Thou ser art seen again
Could thee find, I'd hold thee fast,
Subservient to my will.
Then call earth's wailing poets forth,
To gaze, and gaze their fill.
Nor, would then release mJ grasp,
Or let thee roam, until
Thou stampest Immortality
On every goose ana qn'H.

HIGHLAND.

Our readers will remember that we
made mention in last weeks Chronicle, of
the new order of things that was about to
take place in the village of Highland, in re-
gard to the selling and buying of liquors
on the sabbath day. We were glad to re-
cord the intended improvement, and had
strong hopes of its ultimate success,
though at the same time we were fully
aware that the reform would involve con-
siderable of struggle, but the develop
ments of the past week, has strengthened
our hope, and we are fully persuaded that
the better class of Hig bland's citizens are
in earnest about the matter and are deter
mined to carry out their good resolves.
On the 10th of November, several parties
were arrested and brought to Dodgeville,
before Stephen Northey, Esq on charge
of violating the law by selling liquor on
the Sabbath day. The parties under ar
rest were Patrick Grant, Thomas Grant,
Stephen Erpenbach, John Saar, and Mat
thias Klingle After some deliberaticn,
they all plead guilty, and were fined ST.
each, and costs Of suit, standing commit
ted until the costs and fine was paid,
which amounted to over Sl35. The prs
oners had undoubtedly overestmated their
chances, being utterly ignorant of the law
in such cases. The law is particularly
stringent, giving the justice Of the peace
power to imprison as well as fine very
heavily all offenders. But after reading
the law and fully explaining it to them,
and they realizing that the State of Wis
consin was one party, and few citizens
of Highland was the other, they gladly
paid their fine, and left Dodgeville well
satisfied they were not locked up.
1t must appear out of place, and strange
to the citizcns of Highland, to be compelled
to observe the Sabbath day. They have
been so long used to doing business on
that day, that it has become second nature
to them hence the movers Of this great
improvement deserve all the more credit
and encouragement We sincerely hope
and trust they may succeed in their un-
dertaking, and bring their villrge up to
the standard Of other villages in morality,
and in principles of honesty and sobriety.
Go on, friends, in the good work, you
are in the right, and every lover of the
good and right will lend you helping
hand and bid you God speed.
In regard to the fines imposed upon
the prisoners, they were light considering
the offense, but the effect will be more
salutary than if they had been dealt with
to the full extent Of the law. They cam
not but see that justice has been tempered
with mercy, and that no one acted from
selfish or revengeful motives. AS we in
tlmated before, the justice had more pow
er than he chose to exert. lie very prop
erly considered that they knew nothing
about the law in such cases, and that it
was the first time any Of them had appear
ed before justice for such an offense, d
that it had been their custom to trade,
drink, buy and sell on the Sabbath ever
since the foundation of the village. TAX
ing ali these facts into considerations, We
think the justice acted wisely and human :
ly in not exercising the full extent of his
power.
