of the white transparent glue, costing
twenty-five cents fifty cents pound).
The sixteen pounds of Paris White is
about as much as person will use in a
day. 1t is prepared as follows: The
glue is covered with cold water at night,
and in the morning is carefully heated,
without scorching, until dissolved. The
Paris White is stirred in with hot water
to give it the proper milky consistency
for applying to walls, and the dissolved
glue is then added and thoroughly mix
ed. 1t is then applied with a brush like
the common lime whitewash. Except
on very dark and smoky walls, a single
coat is sufficient. 1t is nearly equal in
brilliancy to "zinc white" far more
expensive article.

The Boy that Stuck to Farming.
When [ was boy, says distinguished
man, my first saving of ten-cent pieces,
earned by Saturday afternoon work
for school kept half day on Saturday
then-were expended in buying a heifer
calf. Then I worked on, and paid my
father a certain sum each month for
keeping. When the calf was one year
old [ traded it for two steer calves, and
now had to put in good and strong to
pay for their keeping; but I occupied
all my spare time in teaching those
caves to work in the yoke, and at one
year old they could gee and haw as will
oxen, and my father paid me for their
use in leading the team for breaking his
two and three-year Odds. Again, [ had
piece of land each year after I was
fourteen, that could plant and work on
shares and, if I wanted help, I had to
give two days of my time to the hired
mans one day. I grew just what my
fancy and reading dictated, and from
the proceeds I dressed as well as any of
the boys of the present time. I always
has some time to play, time to read, and
now look back with love and pleasant
thoughts to the old farm, and the farm
hand who taught me to use tools, and
whipped me when I neglected to drive
out straight at the end of the furrow in
blowing. The remembrance of my boy
hood days has always induced me to
favor all items of encouragement at
home on the farm and I believe, if il
were more generally practiced, we would
have more good farmers and fewer
broken-down merchants, or loafng,
hanging-on, time-serving clerks, ready
for anything except honorable and useful
labor. -RuraI Press.

ACCIDENT To Col. PHILLIPs.-wetlnesd1r

lips, in company with E. H Cawker, was driv-

cidentaliy overturned by the wheels ON one side
dropping into hole or rut that Col. Cawker-
who had the reins-could not see on account of
the darkness, and, encunbered with wrappngs
made necessary by the coolnexs of the evening,
Col. Phillips fell upon his side in such manner
as to break his left arm about midway between

conveyed to Cetlarrile. n mile and half distant,
where the broken arm was set aud where he

SwINDLERs ARorND.-Iti is astonishing how
READILY some people will be deceived by sharprrs.
The Humboldt Union tells an instance that com
mon sense ought To have guarded against:
man by the name of Fuller has been playing
it fine on the farmers of Wilson and WoOdson
counties. He represented himself rs h.avy
dealer in stock, and that he had u large stock
farm near Ottawa. We learn that he had bought
qnte n large herd in one of the counties named.
and got gentleman by the name of Finley to
endorse note with him to the man he purchas-
e'l the cattle from. Fuller drove off the cattle
and was not heard of afterwards. Finley and
his friends, getting alarmed, started after the
gentleman, whom they found in Kansas City.
Here they employed person TO induce Fuller to
make trip 10 Ottawa, which succeeded, and he
was arrested and lodged in Jail When his trial
comes off We presume he will take up his resi-
dcnce in the stone mansinn, near Leayenwortb.
At last accounts the cattle had not been recov-
ered

HrGu BURKE, of the Leavenworth Times, wri.
ting gossiping letter from Topeka in regard to
the Senatorial aspirants uses the word stand
in place of 'rnu." using the following argument
TO bear him ont; ut is aristocratic and high
toned to say it. The Bpstor .idr,Tfiser says Hoyt
stands for the Legislature in Athol. Yet We all
have seen HOyt in Kansas when he couldn't
stand. Judge Halderman, who has bcen in Eu-
rope, and around the English Parliament with
Phin-as Finn during the past two years, says he
declined to stand for the Legislature in the Third
Ward. Callahan says stand. When "a creditor
presented him with bill with the remark that
it had been running for two years, .Cally told
him to let 1t stand now for two years. There is
no nse of citing mure reference on this point
All tho aristnerats are in ms favor. Hereafter

~ Tho Hiawatha Dispatch complains that
Doniphsn County is piygish, because, having had
the Railroad Assessor fur the last two years, she
put up q candidate this year. Not.nueh piggish,
after all. No person in this County was anxious
for the Office; but the middle of October having
arrived, and no nomination having yet been
made for this Office, which concerned the farmers
ss much as any other, Doniphan County determ-
ined not to let it go by defanlt, but named a man
for the place. After this was done, it appeared
that two or three men in other Counties had
been recommended by local conventions, but
means had not even been tnken to get them prop
erly announced, and they received merely local
support. This is the sum total of Doniphan
County's piggishncss.

POWER OF NEwsPAPERs.-The following is
from the Kansas City Journal Of Commerce, and
is worthy of thought:
"As an indication of the power of the press, it
IS stated ON the authority of the house of II. q.
Clahin e. Co., that the failure of the Spragues
would not have occurred but for an article in
New York morning paper that broke of nego-
hation that was about being concluded. The
misery that has been entailed by this one article
VIII overbalance the worth of half dozen lives
OF the man who wrote it. 1t is one of the curses
of the modern sensational newspaper that even
society must sutfer from IFS mendacity. The
honorable press and all decent men should unite
to put an end to such papers

u The St. Lonis Republican, thinks it woud
be poetic justice to elect poor, insignificant Ed.
Ross to the United States Senate from Kansas,
to fill the Caldwell vacancy, and goes on to tell
how the name of Ross is indissolubly connected
with those of Fessenden, Trunbull, ct al, in the
Audy johnson impeachment matter. Two or
three little obstacles stand in the way of the con-
summation of this happy event. Firstly, the Leg
islature is not one of the poetical kind, but ter
ribly matter of fact; secondly, large majority of
the Legislature are not the kind of men who elect
such fellows as Ross to the Senate nntwithstand-
ing the believing of the Missouri Democratic pa
pers over Republican defeat in Kansas; and
thirdly, Ross is as dead, to all intents and pur-
poses as Fessenden and Crimes

II correspondent, whose letter we publish
I'd last week, complains that We have wrougcd
Gov. Osborn. We are sure that we do not wish
to do the Governor injustice, and we are anxious
to see him make successful administration; but
the matter complained of, was copied from
prominent Leavenworth paper. We believed
the story, because did not think that paper
of standing wonld publish bare-faced falsehood
right in the face of the community that knew all
the facts; and if the Governor did as charged, he
deserved censurs. But if it was slander, in
tended for malicious purposes, we have no more
to say, except that we are beginning to be con-
WINGED that all men are liars.

TINES HARDER EAST THAN wEsT.-A leading
Connecticut manufacturer who visited Spring
field, last week, and who has recently visited va
rious portions Of the country, says that the east
is much more seriously affected by the financial
pressure, than the west. 1t was his opinion that
the BUSINESS men, the bankers, and the manufsc-
turers of this portion of tae country were on
more solid foundation than the corresponding
classes in New York and farther east He was
surprised to see so many manifestations of th,ift
in Springfield, and stated TO ons of nur citizens
that he has not seen anything to equal it else
where. We hope that NE shall he able to main-

sEsAroR.-Is is now positively asserted that
the Governor will make an appointment of Unit
ed States Senator, within few days. We were
pretty badly scared for a while, not knowing but
that he would make his selection from up this

but it seems to be settled that the man will be
taken from Southern or Southeastern Kansas
We trust that the Governor will make better
hit than Crawford did-an6 he will, if he makes
the selection We have in our minds eye, Horatio

grnmbling. Get your shovclsready, fellows, and

SOUND VIEWS FROM An UNEXPECTED SOURCE.
So far as the precise figures have come to hand.
il appears that the Democratic vote cast in 1874
is a great deal smaller than that of 1872. and
that Democratic successes this fall are due solely
to the fact that good many more Republicans
than Democrats have absented themselves from
the polls.
