RURAL NOTES AND NOTIONS We'll,
the fairs are over. We have had more
than the usual exhibitions of fine cattle,
of tempting fruit and beautiful flowers,
and the usual agricultural horsetrot.
The hOrse display we waive the consid-
Grafton of, having been told that upon
that animal we are incompetent to
write. What good? Much every way
excluding the horse-trot. We have
seen that good vegetables can be rails
ed with proper care and intelligence.
We have seen that plants and flowers
enough to adorn every house can be
cultivated by the person of taste, man
or woman, who chooses to grace in a
cheap way the dwelling. The delight
which has been experienced by hun
dreda in witnessing the large collee-
tions, will fructify in the attempt to
grow some roses, some ivys, some bril-
liant and charming cOleus. In word,
the general taste has been gratified and
stimulated. In the cities it has been
found that pleasant and cheerful read
ing-rooms and innocent recreations are
an antidote to and preservative from
rum-shops. Is not every added at
traction placed within the household
means of moral Improvement and safe
guard from temptation? If man is
not half a man till he is married, and
is not half married till he has home,
what can be more important than the
making of his home the best and
brightest spot on earth? The rich pay
fifty or an hundred dollars for paint
ing, but the person of moderate means
may have the real instead of the pic
tured flowers. And the mystery of
their bud and blossom and the trans
mutation of the dull earth into the rich
and gracious aud grateful flowers, has
led US upward-may we hope for more
than the moment.

A WORD TO TRAVELLERS We have
word to say in favor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad. 1t was the sspioneefy
line Westward and is the sold reliable
route to st. Louis. With the improve
ments which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equip
ment of any line west OF the AIississ-
ippi. 1t Is the emily line which runs
three daily express trains of fine
coaches and Pullman sleepers, equip
ped with the Miller platform and the
patent air brake, from leading points
in the West, through Kansas City, Sc
dalia and Jefferson City to st. Louis
without change, connecting at st.
Louis with eleven different through
routes to points North, East and South.
Particular information, with maps,
time tables, &C., may be had at the
various "through ticket" railroad sta
lions in the West, or upon personal or
written application to G.. II. Baxter,
Western Passenger Agent, Kansas
City, No., or Z. A. Ford, General
Passenger Agent, st. Louis, Mo.

On last Sabbath evening a union
meeting of the Sabbath school workers
Of this city was held in the Presbyte-
rian church. The gathering was much
larger than was anticipated. The
house was filled to the extent of its
capacity by those who seemed deeply
interested in the matter.
The meeting was called to older by
the Rev. ID. w. Coke. After singing
that beautiful hymn, "Work while the
day lasts the Rev. Mr.. Averill offer
ed prayer, and the chairman read q
chapter from the Bible. The object of
the meeting was then stated by the
chairman, who said that it was neces-
sary to appoint q committee to solicit
accommodations for the delegates who
should attend the convention soon to
be held in this place. 1t also seemed
appropriate TO discuss various questions
of interest in reference to our Sabbath
school work in this city, with a view
of obtaining a larger attendance at
our various schools. After a few in
troduetOry remarks by the chairman,
the following speakers addressed the |
audience in an earnest and pointed |
manner: Revs. Mr.. Rhodes, Melvin,
and Averill, Messrs. Riggs, Car
DR.. Wright and Cunningham.
All their addresses were well timed |
and calculated to stir up those who
heard them to be more faithful in their
work in the Sunday school. 1t is to be
hoped that some definite organization
will soon be made whereby a large
of children who do not attend
Sabbath schools will be looked after
and invited to become members of
.onle Sunday school.
The attention of the audience was
hen called to the following resolu-
ion: 80
Resolved, That we cordially welcome
the State Sabbath School Association
70 Emporla at its next annual session,
and tender to all delegates free homes.
To carry out the spirit of this reso-
ution u committee of three was ap-
pointed to procure accommodations
'or the delegates. The committee con-
lists of Messrs. Cunningham, Car
michael and Cavaness. This commit
zee was authorized to appoint such as
listing committees as they should deem
Accordingly Mr.. Riggs
vas appointed committee on music.
Let us see to it that we welcome
with a warm heart and sumptuous
are all who shall attend this Sabbath
Ichool convention.
After singing the long metre doxol-
y, Elder Rhodes pronounced the

missed.

HUMRUGGED.

The o'Byrnes-P-oG. F. G.. and hi;
wife, "Pips," appeared here Wednes-
day night, according to announcement
10 give their lecture and readings, anE
we feel 1t to be our duty to say
that In all our long residence here we
have not known an Emporia audience
to be so egregiously humbugged a.
they were by these same O'Byrnes. II
the poets alluded to In the stupid and
incoherent lecture could hear this
professor they would undoubt-
eddy feel thankful that their lot is not
cast In this generation OF travelling
wonders. AZ a reader, Mrs. O'Byrne
Is very meager indeed. Every village
In the land contains ladses who can
excel her. The whole performance
was "fiat, stale and Improbable" es-
pecIally the latter, as the lecture COM
mlttee can sorrowfnlly testify.
We will say, In behalf OF the lecture
committee, that they were induced to
take these people through the repre-
sentations of the press at Topeka,
Atchlson, Council Bluffs and other
points. The newspapers ought to be
careful how they endorse public enter
taInments. The Council Bluffs Nom
pareil said Mrs. O'Byrne threw "AIrs.
Siddons In the shade" and called her
the "quintessence of beauty on the
stage" The AtchIson Champion laud-
ell her very highly. The perform
ances of the o'Byrnes in those cities
must have been far superior to that
given here, or else the editors of those
papers know absolutely nothing of
what constitutes a good reader. To
the Topeka Blade we will say that the
audience here were "pleased almost
beyond description" 1t made them
laugh to see to what extent down
right impotence could lead the people
to be humbuged.
Now imagine Mrs. Scott Siddons re-
clinlng In the shade.

Thirty Years. Experience of an Oh

Thirty Years Experience of an Old
Nurse.
Mrs. Winslows' Soothing Syrup is the pre-
scription of one of the best female physicians
and nurses in the United States, and has been
used for thirty years with never failing safe
ty and success by millions of mothers and
children, from the feeble infant of one week
old to the adult. 1t corrects acidity of the
stomach, relieves wind collie, regulates the
bowels, and gives rest, health and comfort to
mother and child. We believe it to be the
best and surest remedy in the world in all
cases OF dysentery and diarrhGa in children,
whether it arises from teething or from any
other cause. Full directions for using will
accompany each bottle. None genuine unless
