Nh DANA READY TO sUHSTANTIATE HIS
CUAGG ES-PREIIMINARY ARRANGEMENT
COUNSEL TO BE ALLOWED ON BOTH SIDES
The Saline County journal. [volume] (Salina, Kan.) 1871-1893, 1872-06-06

A Jefferson City correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat says that an old line
Democrat, who had become an ardent
, Greeley man, excused his support of a
long time enemy of Democracy and an
uncompromising proteetionist, as fol-
lows:
Yes said he, 9. am Greeley man,
and am doing what the Republican par
~ should have done in 1860; for if Mr..
Greeley had been chosen for Buchanan's
4 mce6Ssor, instead Of old Lincoln, the
war upon the Sonth would never have
e bsnas waved = those outraged people
! SAnA net have been to-day stripped of
all their constitutional rights, robbed of
/: their slaves aud impoverished to the last
degree, rs they now are. And more :
If M. Grecleys adEicc even had been
accepted md respected when secession
had Aoen resolved upon by the Southern
Gtntes. they would have departed in
peace followed by no terrible war.
For his sympathy in those eventfal
times, shall not forget him now"

BLACK SILKS "A change is taking
place in black silks. They show a ten
dency toward smoother surfaces, have
more natural lustre, and are neither blue
black nor brown-black, but are of deep
jetty hue. Low priced silks especially
show smaller grain, because they are ow
free from the heavy dye formerly used to
give them a meretricious lustre and
weight. Instances are known where by
means of this dye 16 ounces of this silk
were raised to 40 ounces, and silks sold
for 80 or So yard were as heavily repped
as those costing 81 or Sc. Buyers OF
silks at 50 or $3.50 yard are advised to
abandon the idea of getting weighty cord
ed silks, and to choose instead softer silks
with small reps, and nearly the lustre
tia Is natural to pure silk. These do not
cut or crease, and their smooth surfaces
endure friction far better then do those
with pr jecting cords. Lyons silk at So a
yard is the popular choice for street suits,
and the same silk of higher grade, sold
for S4, is a. rich and heavy as any lady
need care to wear. There will be a re-
newed effort to bring black silk into dis
favor this winter, and owing to the variety
OF rich dark colors imported, it may not
be as universally worn as at present; but
when lady wants the finest fabric that
can be bOnght, and finds hat to be black
silk, she will not hesitate to buy it.
Quantities of jet ornaments, embroidery,
velvet, and lace are the trimmings with
which black will be enliYened. Ladies'

OPIUM EATING IN Schools Much in
digna,ion has been excited by the discov.
cry that venders of opium are in the habit
of surreptitiously sending it, prepared in
candy and lozenges, to boys and girls
schools, seminaries and colleges. A box
Of this preparation is sent to some pupil
whose name has been ascertained, with q
circular containing directions for its use.
The circular also sets forth, in glowing
terms the advantages to be derived from
the use of the candy or lozenges. Among
those advantages is alleged to be snch a
sharpening of the mind as will enable the
pupil using the preparation to get his or
her lessons with but little mental effort
aud to carry of the prizes with perfect
ease. Such lure as that is almost sure
to catch idle young people, and ambitions
pupils also. The habit of using the
opium once established, the victim is un,
able to shake it off; and the beloved SOL
or daughter, all unknown to the parents
at home, lays the foundation for wreck.
ed life, and blighted career. Sometimes
the pupils communicate the secret 10 theIl
intimate associates, and the school be.
comes largely infected with the pernicious
practice.
Men who seek, by thus steathily Great
ing an app, tte in them for opium, to ruin
the minds and bodies of the yonng. de,
serve the severest punishment. The ev
is frightful one, and parents and teach
ers cannot be too vigilant in guarding
against it.-N. Y. Ledger.

interest on the charges that had been in
Cured. While they lasted the yearly
revenues had been spent on the lawsuit.
The impatient creditors seized the house
sold it by auction, but it did not pro-
duce enough to cover the expenses; and
there were more Quarrels among the cred
itors about their respective rights than
there had been among the beautiful nieces
as to which was the most beautiful.
They had all of them now passed their
fiftieth year age and trouble had swept
away what was left of their comeliness.
They were all unmarried; they lived in
the same house but not harmoHously; the
passers-by in the street were often dis
turbed by their wranglings and their
quarrels.
When the bequeathed house was dis
posed of, the three ladies went to the
Judge. inqniring what they had better do.
81 Think" replied the honest magis-
trate, "that if the lawsuit be renewed,
the inquiry had better take another shape,
and be this Which is the ugLiest of the

The Sea.

Nearly the whole sea is, four times a
day, subject to change in IFS level by the
movements ofthe tides. The motion pro-
duced by the winds, and known by the
name of waves, is much less regular. The
wind, striking the surface of the se in an
oblique direction, pushes some of the
water on the surface over that which il
contiguous to it, and 'hus raises it above
the common level, until 80 much water j.
accumulated that the wind is unable to
maintain it in that position, and it fall>
down. Each wave presents gently as.
cending surface to the windward, and q
particular descent leeward. The eleva-
ton of the waves varies according. to the
strength of the wind. A rather heavy
gale rises then from six to eight feet
above the common sea level; but in very
strong gales they attain an elevation o.
thirty feet. This motion of the surface o.
the sea is not perceptible to great depth.
In the stronger gales it is supposed not to
extend beyond seventy-two feet below the
surface; and at depth of ninety feet the
sea is perfectly still, The form and even
the size of the waves vary according to
the depth and extent of the sea. In shall
low water, where the lower part of the
waves approaches the bottom, and meets
with resistance, the waves are abrupt and
irregular, and this is also the case in con.
fined seas whilst on the open ocean the,
are wide and long. and rise and fall witt
great regularity. When the waves run t"
slow shore, the slope of the ground
breaks their force, and they terminate H.
tranquil manner; but when they art
impelled against an elevated rocky coast
being repelled by the rock, they produce
what is called surf. This evident rising
of the sea on a rocky coast sometimes
attains an elevation of one hundred feet
above the sea leTel. The surf IS always
dangerous to pass, except in boats of a
peculiar construction. The waves do not
Subside simultaneously with the wind.
The sea continues in its agitated state fn
many hours. The air being little agtated,
-, none at all. is unable to depress the
undulations of the sea, and therefore the
saves dur ng a calm after a gale ris,
higher, ard their elevated part forms Il
more accurate angle than during the gale.
Such state of sea is called hollow sea-
