AGASSIZ.

Louis. Agassiz, the greatest naturalist,
scientist, and scholar of our time is dead,
having died on. the l4th instant, at the
age of sixty-six years. He was born in
Switzerland, where his parents had been
driven by the intolerance of Louis XIV,
and was educatad in Munich. He stud
led medicine, but scientific inclination
led him to adopt the sciences, and at an
early age he became distinguished for
his researches and his knowledge. In
1916 he came to this country on mis-
sion for the Prussian government. and
was so pleased with the country and the
opportunities that it presented for his
favorite pursuits, that he adopted it as
his home, and became one of our citi-
zens in heart and sentiment. He accept
ed a professorship in one of our schools
in 1047, and has since that time been
connected with our most noted scientific
institutions. He founded museum in
connection with Harvard College, which
is to-day one of the most renowned in
the world, very many of its wonders
having been collected by it's founder.
He has devoted almost every day of his
life to researches and to the most weari-
some study. He has visited all parts
of the United States, taken long voyages
at sea, and endured many hardships to
accomplish his work, and dies in the
midst of a prodigious amount of work
that only his mind and his knowledge
could bring before the world, in such a
way as to be by them understood. He
was one of the best of citizens, and be-
loved by all. Nobody was too humble
to share his courtesy nobody so grea
as not to feel dwarfed in the presence O.
this great man. What we have lost il
his death we shall never fully realize
but his labors have put science on thi
side of the Atlantic even, if not in ad
vance of that in Europe, and Tyndal
and Darwin have not eclipsed the geniu
of him who now lies dead in his adopted
America.

This little table of definitions of Bible
terms may be of service to some of our
young Sunday School going friends,
and perhaps a few children of larger
growth may find them useful: A few
days journey was thirty three and one
fifth miles. A Sabbath days journey
was about an English mile. Ezekiel's
reed was nearly eleven feet. A cubit is
nearly twenty-five inches. A hand S
breath is equal to three and fve-eights
inches. A fingers breadth is equal to
one inch. A shekel of silver was about
fifty cents. A shekel of gold was $500.
A talent of silver was S53e.32. A tai
ent of gold was s13,8O9. A piece of
silver, or penny, was thirteen cents.
A farthing was three cents. A gerah
was one cent. A mite was one cent.
An ephaor bath contained seven gallons
and five pints. A bin was one gallon
and two pints. A frkin was seven
pints. An omer was six pints. A cat
was three pints.

Jim Lane said God never made coun-
try equal to Kansas and | believe He
never cursed one with such a set of cap
italists and two-faced political shysters.
| will cite one case for instance Sever
al years ago, before the railroads came
In here, all the millers for forty miles
on the Ncosho formed combination to
cheat the farmers out of the profits on
their wheat crop. They would grind
only five bushels for farmer at one
time, and no more for him till he
had time to eat that up. In this way
they compelled farmers to sell their
wheat to them, instead of Touring it and
selling it to the consumer The millers
then raised the price of flour so that
they made dollar bushel ON all the
wheat they bought. One mill near En-
poria was kept running night and day
for six months, and in that time the
owner cleared seventy thousand dollars
on the wheat he bought and Toured.
And things are not in much better fix
at present /; so the farmers have come to
the conclusion that they will combine.
This is why five or six deputies of the
Patrons of Husbandry are kept busy or
ganizlng oranges. There are already
six hundred and fifty Oranges in the
state with "a good prospect of having
one thousand before spring l believe
out three States, Iowa, Illinois and Mis-
souri,, are now ahead of Kansas in the
number of their oranges. We organized
grange here short time since, on one
days notice, with twenty-five charter
members. Several of the merchants in
Emporia have made propositions to the
County Council of grangers to furnish
goods at certain per cent. above st.
Louis wholesale prices if they could have
the patronage of the Patrons, and there
is some talk of having County grange
store. There are farmers enough in Kan
sas to run the state according to their
own ideas and. unless there is change
brought about in some things, they will
be willing to take the job.

THE LOST BALLOONS.

nj. Wilfrid de Fonvielle, writing from
Paris, says that the particulars Of the
course of every balloon save two sent up
from Paris during the Franco-P russian
war are known.
One of the two lost was the jacquard,
sent up on Nov. %, 1870. The aeronaut
was sailor named Prince He was
seen by some fishermen travelling west
ward over British seas, and to drop a
letter bag, which was picked up, handed
over to the French officials, and regular
ly delivered The azimuth of his course
was northwest.
The second balloon lost was the Rich
ard Wallace, which left Paris on Jan.
81, 1871, two or three days before the
capitulation. The aeronaut was M.
Lacaze, who had been educated in aeron-
autics by GODDARD. The balloon was
lost sight Of in the direction of Roche
fort, after dawn He had been spoken to
previously by some peasants when at
some distance from the sea. and advised
to stop. He desired, however, to land
nearer Bordeaux. His balloon was trav-
cling in southwesterly direction, and
some African lateral current may have
carried it over unknown lands. M.
Lacaze was man of fortune, and legal
proceedings have been taken by his fam
lily to declare him deceased. 1t is not
impossible that the aeronaut may have
escaped, as it IS reported that a parcel
of letters was discovered in Natal, Africa,
not long since. These letters have been
sent to the French Post Office, but have
not yet been received, and it is thought
they may turn out to be those sent by
the lost balloon. M. de Fonvielle says;
'If nc trace of the car was discovered
by the Natal men it must be considered
a proof that the aeronaut has made his
| descent at a place at some distance but
not very far, as balloon, when nobody
is in the car, cannot by any means be
supported in the air, even with strong
wind. Isuppose he must have landed
at distance not exceeding 1000 miles
in the interior. AS far as L can form 8
professional opinion in the matter, NJ
Lacaze must have cut his ropes and lei
his balloon 60 SO as to shorten the time
of his being dragged on the ground
He may possibly have jumped out O
the car and killed himself in falling, o.
have been starved in desert lands, o.
murdered by natives. But my opinion
is, as far as | can form one, that he wa
blown by the wind alive over Africa
and that over Africa the last TRACED,
was played, with result which is un
known up to the present moment

THE SUNDAY.SCHOOL CON.
VENTION.
M. J. OWEN.

The Convention at Irasburgh, on the
18th and 18th it must be conceded, full
ly sustains the fact already established,
that Sunday-School Conventions in Or
leans County, are, and are to be, well
come and necessary part of the Sunday
School life in the churches. With de-
vout recognition of Gods kindness in
giving two such beautiful days, we are
the more ready to praise Him for the
gentle, tender spirit which prevailed and
marked all the sessions, many, doubtless,
feeling as they went homeward 'of
truth the Lord was in this place." The
abundant hospitality of Irasburgh was
shared by number that could have left
there, no doubt, but the county enjoyed
conventions for the sake Of the meat that
perisheth, if for nothing higher Their
very tasteful church was crowded, espe-
cially during the children's afternoon.
The discussions were surely of usual in
terest, very many most excellent hints
and noble thoughts, SO gaining the ears,
and it is hoped, the hearts of scores of
teachers, as to be wrought practically into
the very life of our schools The lecture
of Rev. w. S. Palmer in the evening
session was, we think. adjudged by all
to be most excellent feature of the
Convention We have no words of praise
for the address or It's author in this con-
nection just ask some friend about it
who was there, and see if you are not a
little sorry you could not, OF did not go,
and if you don't think you will go next
time. We cannot speak Of the various
instructive exercises. The only change
in constitution was one providing that
the President should enter upon his du-
ties at the session following his election,
instead of Immediately as has been the
case. The convention did not deem it
advisable either to attempt the publica-
ton of a Sunday School paper, or to en-
ploy missionary in the county but
rather that the churches might be awak.
ened to a sense of the outlying need, un-
til each member should become mis-
sionary. The former board of officers
were rechosen with very little change
The singing in the hands of Directo
Chamberlin, spoke its own praise. A
ready contribution, somewhat more thar
covered the expenses of the Convention
and special contribution Of $16,40 wa
made to aid Brother I. 2. Gage in hi
work in Nebraska. Letters from Hen

A CHRISTMAS SONG.
All my heart this night rejoices,

All my heart this night rejoices,
As | hear,
Both far and near,
Sweetest angel voices:
"Christ is born" their choirs are singing
Till the air
Everywhere
Now with joy is ringing.
Hark voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet,
Doth entreat,
s.Flee~from woe and danger.
Brethren, come, from all doth grieve
You are freed
All you need
I will surely give you"
Come, then, let us hasten yonder;
Here are all,
Great and small,
Kneel in awe and wonder.
Love Him who with love is yearning
Hail the Star
That from far
Bright with hope is burning!
Ye who pine in weary sadness,
Weep no more,
For the door
Now is found of gladness.
Cling to Him, for he will guide you
Where no cross,
Pain or loss,
Can again betide you.

of the great tea party, that occurred
there one hundred years ago.

"A LETTER FROM KANSAS.

EDITOR MONITOR.-The regular arri-
val of the Monitor (Which, as Vermont
er here expressed it, is equal to letter
from home, and that is saying consider
able) reminds me of my promise to write
occasionally. l plead guilty to negli-
gence in that respect but will endeavor
in the future to show works meet for re-
pentance. Begging pardon for comnenc-
ing with an unusual subject l will say
that we have had the extremes of Kan
sas weather for the last six months-ex.
tremely wet weather in the spring, and
extremely dry ever since. The whole
country was overfowed in May, while
now for months there has been no run
ming water in the creeks. l hope this
news will deter no one from emigra-
ting to the garden for we have got along
first rate. There is water enough in the
creeks for stock, and we have had fine
time for putting up hay and "shucking'
corn, with no ague worth speaking of,
and everything lovely except that the
crops are rather light. The yield of fall
wheat was pretty fair, but spring wheat
was light, with prices ranging from sew
enty-fvc cents for spring to one dollar
ten for fall. The corn crop will not be
much more than half an average yield,
worth about forty cents with tendency
to 60 higher. The greatest failure was
in the potato crop, which will not aver
age in this section more than thirty or
forty bushels to the acre while some
fields will not yield the seed planted
