Standing the rain, the hall was crowded. The
nrcpramme was good one and the class of

A,cted credit upon older and more experienced

with great effect. Prot. Robins,n's perform

whistliug chorus and limitations of loading the
wagon, threshing wheat, NC, were executed
with precision that evluced careful drilling.
The Solo Far Away" by Miss Jennie Cogau,
was beautifully rendered, aud she was the re-
cipient of magnificent boquet from her ad-
mrers The male quartette, Messrs. Buchanan,
Daniel, Simpson and Grimes sang what

and pathos The duet See the Pale Moon,
by Mir. Buchanan and Miss Hunter, was good,
and the widow Bedot," song in character
by Master Henry Fields, was received with great

sic than is generally given by Sunday schools,

For the EAGLE.
From Wellington.

ED. EAGLE:-"Sunny southern Kan.
sas" is loosing lis warm congenial re.
putation. The prairics were little
green three weeks ago, but cattle can
hardly live yet, though we are not los.
ing as we did the pasttwo years. Some
corn has been planted but the ground
is toe cold for it to terminate. Winter
wheat looks finely. 1t is now pretty
well demonstrated that the Arkansas
valley is good whcat producing coun.
try, and as there never has been
wheat country yet but what grew rich
we can plow in hope.
All we lack here from becoming
wealthy soou, is fences. Once our
hedges become grown, SO we can raise
cattle without the picket rope or herd
cr, we expect to win the laurels even
frem old Kentucky, as a blue grass re-
gion, A far larger acreage of all sorts
of cereals will be put in this year than
ever before. a great many immigrants
are arriving. the "claim-holders" are
selling out and fine farms are being OPP
ened all over the country. The Min
nescah valley will go into the cotton
and peanut business pretty extensively,
slate creek bottom is just the soil for
corn and tobacco, and the Chicaspia
for wheat and corn, and good mill sites,
though on the last point there is a dif-
ancc of opinion among the grangers.
Politicians, grangcrs and anti-grang-
ers, are beginning TO look wistfully
around and already snuff the battle
from afar. Wellington is waiting for
the coal company to strike the dia-
monds, and is not growing much this
season. II is thought the court house
will be under way again before the
Philadelphia centennial opens.

Governor Osborn. who left the state

| Governor Osborn, who left the state
some weeks ago for New York return
ed hoinc after having fulfilled his mis-
sion to the money centre OF the contlI-
eut. While III New York he selected.
under the law of last winter, fiscal
agent to transact the financial bust
ness of Kansas in that city. The APP
pointment of the agent has not been
made, but presume it will be shortly
after the governor arrives in Topeka.
Several responsible banking houses
expressed an anxiety to disburse the
| Opdvkc Il Co. 1t would not surprise
the Opdyke bank.
We understand that the financial
transaction of the agent will amount to
one million dollars Il year. The per-
centage allowed by the law is one
fourth of one per cent. The law does
not require the agent to pay interest.
but does require good and sufficient Sc
curity for deposits. The act of the
last session of the legislature also COM
pels the state, county or township
treasurer. as the case may be, TO pro-
vide for the payment Of coupons by
dcpositins with the agent i'll New
York, fifteen days before the coupons
are due, sum sufficient to meet the
accruing interest.
While in New York, the governor
also negotiated for the purchase Of
Kansas bonds to the amount of $50, 900,
for the state sinking fund. The effect
of this transaction will be to save the
interest to the state, without impair
ing the fund.
During the past year vast deal has
been said to the financial miscredit of
the state by the press of Kansas and
Missouri, but Notwithstanding this
unfavorablc comment, the credit of
Kansas abroad is unimpaircd The
governor says that prominent bankers
of the city repeatedly told him that no
state in the Union stood higher in
financial circles than kansas.-Learca-

ARKANSAS CITY, April s, 1877,

ARKANSAS CITY, April s, 1874.
During the month Of April. 1873,
spent some time at Chetopa's camp on
the Shawkaska river. While there
observed man in mourning on the
outside of the camp. He had long,
matted hair, and was fearfully dirty,
shabby and annotated. lie had lost
his wife i'm the fall, and had spent the
winter i'm fishing and mourning: pro-
longing it much beyond the usual time,
which is thirty days. During this pc
riod ofmourning no food is taken dur
ing the day till sunset, and then barely
enough TO sustain life; there is no
washing, combing or painting and the
face is smeared with clay and SCOT.
The mourner described above was the
son-in-law of White Swan. Chetopa's
chief counsellor.
After the dance around the Pawncc
scalp. described in my last. the mourn
cr announced TO his people that he had
been in grief long enough He now
wished to send out the war party.
The organization of this was placed
in the hands of two men, Wasashe-Wa-
tainka, of the Big Hills. and Album
kemi, or the Sentinel, of the Little
Osages. About forty men enlisted. and
the party started towards the south
west.
They travelled nearly ten days before
they found any individual or group
convenient to kill. They went down
to the north fork of the Canadian,
crossed the Chisholm trail. struck
northwardly across the Cimaron at the
Red Hills, and finally camped in a lit
tie rsvine near the Eagle Chief
creek. /.
