The Fairy Of the Household.

Oh who knoweth not our Mary,
With her archly winning waysi
She's our darling household fairy,
And q fairy's part she plays.
Comes she softly, softly creeping,
Taking us all quite unaware,
While she's slyly. shyly peeping
Close beside our easy chair,
Hair so golden-brown and curly,
Clustering tbickly round her head,
Eyes so blue, and teeth so opearly,
Lips and cheeks just tinged with red.
Little feet SO lightly tripping,
Making music On tho floor;
Little form 80 nimbly skipping
In and out the open door.
Oft We hear our lovely Mary
Called bonny, witching sprite;
Oft we bless our household fairy
For her winsome presence bright.
Like little birdie springing,
Mid the leafy summer trees
Like little birdie singing,
Unrestrained, in woodland case
So doth she, in sportive pleasure,
Trill ner tiny baby-song.
Listing to her simple ID easurs
Wakes love SO deep and strong
For our graceful. warbling fairy,
Yet unconscious Of her charm,
That we trenible lest our Mary
Aught should know of sin or harm.
Earthly language neer expresses
Halt the tender thoughts that meet
When we feel her warm caresses,
And her baby kisses sweet.
May We never blindly cherish
One SO trustful, young and fair;
Every raident hope will perish
If We train her not with care.
Long may she be spared to cheer us;
Human tongue could ne'er reveal
If she ceased to linger near us,
All the grief that we should feel.
Blessings OH our darling Mary.
Sweet the sunshine of her smile;
BLESSINGS on our househ old fairy,
= Living, simple, free from CHILE. y

THE SIENNONHTEs.

These are a very ancient sect.
Their origin dates back to the Mid
die Ages of Europe. They were at
first called Anabaptists, and were
actors In many scenes of fanaticism,
disorder, and excess. They have
changed greatly since the days of
Jack of Leyden, and have for three
hundred years lived in a faith and
practice analogous to that of the
Quakers. They are a sober, indus
trious, worthy class of people, not
deficient in culture, money, or
brains. The merciless CONSUMPTION
which calls n large percentage of
the people into the ranks of the
army is the occasion of their Ieav-
ing Russia, as they hold to the Qua
ker doctrine of resistance.
These people are not 10 be fright
ened by the alarm about drouth or
grassAoppers. Central Russia is a
country ofundulating plains, having
a soil and climate similar to that of
Kansas. 1t is now announced that
not less than sixty thousand of
these people will settle within two
years in Kansas, each family bring
Ing far moro money than is brought
by the average OF our immigrants.
They have purchased lands along
the line of the A. Il. & S. F., and
seem likely to make q welcome adj
dition to our working force.

REFORMERS:
Chase County Leader.

We had hoped the canvass in
this congressional district would
be conducted without resorting to
the usual electioneering vitupera-
ton and gross misrepresentation.
But such IL is not to be. The Tope-
ka Record last week, in its desire
to advance the interests of Hud-
son by traducing Brown, resrots
to that style of argument and
among other things says Brown
was nominated by a ring. We
admit Brown was nominated by a
ring, but it was composed of farm
ers from the southwest, who re-
solved that no man from Topeka,
which city is owned and run by
the railroad company, should re-
ceive the nomination of the third
district. Nearly every lawyer and
professional politician in the re-
publican convention opposed
Brown and supported Holiday,
(Topeka's railroad man, and liv-
ed north of Emporia, while Browns
support came from the agricultural
southwest.
How was it with the nomina-
ton of Hudson? The so-called
reform convention was composed
principally of lawyers and non
consuming real estate spectators.
Among the lawyers present were ::
Judge Harris, chairman; Peter
Bell, secretary; John G. Otis, j. J.
Barker, ). n. Wood, J. H. Watson.
and others, whose names we are
now unable to remember Among
the professional politicians we're
j. c. Swayze. Dave Payne and ].
V. Randolph. whose political in
huence is quoted at five dollars a
day. There were but twenty dele
gates in the convention, 4 majority
of whom were lawyers and politi-
clans.
The Topeka ring, defeated in
the republican convention, were in
full force in the reform" The
Both district-city of Topeka-in
addition to its own delegates,
furnished delegates for the 9Th
Shawnee county, outside of Tope-
ka-consisting of J. c. Swayze,
whose only manuel labor that there
is any record of is that of beating
his wife; Messrs, Macdonald and
Spencer. The Shawnee county
delegation we have no doubt were
creatures of the railroad ring, and
although Hudson may not be a
tool for that outfit, the preponder-
ence ofeYidence is in that direc-
ton.

a Good Nomination .

We are glad to see by the Will
mington CO., Journal, which visits
our sanctum weekly, thanks to the
kindness of our old friend Denny,
that Hon. John Q, Smith hasibeen
re-nomInated for Congressman in
the Third district of that State, bv
the Republicans. He was elected
to the position two years ago, and
has filled the place with honor to
himself and constituents. We know
that he was q prominent member of
the last House, and faithful SER
want of the people. We had the
pleasure of listening to him one day
last winter, from the gallery, and
he made one of the strongest and
best speeches on the question under
discussion. As an old Wilmington
ian we were proud of him, because
we have never lost one iota of our
interest in that glorious old town
and State. We know from the de-
gree of attention which was paid TO
Mr.. Smith, that he was man of a
good deal more than average infiu-
ence and ability. We Jake a great
interest in Ohio politics, and we
shall feel especially pleased to see
that Mr.. Smith is returned to Con-
gress, as we believe he will be.

The Rev. J. C.. HartzeH, editor
of the Southwestern Chri stan AID
vocate, is delivering discourses in
the West concerning the Southern
situation, in which he makes some
rather startling revelations. He
declares that the ex-rebels aud the
old slave holders look upon the
several amendments to the consti-
tuition, adopted since the close of
the war, as ''monstrous absurii-
ties tackled on to the fundamental
law of the land" He also states
that the prevailing idea in the
south, among the democrats and
white league followers is that ssif a
majority of the states desired to
strike them off it could be done -
He states that the feeling there in
OPPOSITION to those amendments is
bitter and hostile in the extreme.
AS he has resided among those
people he knows whereof he affirms
and his testimony, in common
with that of thousands, only
shows how terribly dangerous, in
every point of view bearing on the
southern question, would he the
ascendancy of the democratic par
ty.

Has n sOuuI.

The old theory that Corpora
tons havn't any souls" seems to
have one exception in Kansas. No
doubt that the A, T. & S. F. is
working for its own interests, but it
works in a rational way. Among
its wise thoughts, we may note its
employment of S. T. Kelsey as a
forester, for the cultivation of trees
along the line of the road; its free
transportation OF people on the bor-
der who desire to obtain employ
ment for the winter in the states
further east; its loan of seed wheat
to settlers on its lands; and its per-
sistent and triumphant efforts to set
tie the MennOnites. 1t surely has
brains, and we think it has q soul.

The sheep EsusIne...

Back in Vermont, where land is
worth $50 to 500 per acre, and the
snow lies six months, there is plen-
ty of money to be made in raising
sheep. Here pasturage is free, land
cheap, winter light, and yet "sheep
don't do we'll" Dogs bite them
wolves devour them; the acayus
scGbeii burrows in their cuticle
they starve and freeze in open pens.
And so 1--WE can't raise sheep in

REPURIICAN MEETING.

Hon. VIM. Il. Brown, Republi-
can nominee for congressman, and
Hon. Ed. Russell, of Leavenworth,
addressed our people at the court
house Wednesday evening. There
was a good audience present.
Judge Peyton presided.
We have not room for a synop-
sis of the speeches. All we have
heard express themselves were well
pleased with Judge Browne talk.
IL was q plain, straight forward
statement of the political situation.
and an able defence of the Republic
can party. 1t was utterly free from
rant, cant and clap-trap. 1t was
manly, logical and sound. The
Judges friends, knowing he set up
no petensions as q platform talker,
were agreeably surprised with his
effort here. He showed plainly
that he has a clear-headed and in
telligent view of the condition of
national questions. At it's close he
was applauded in such = way as to
eyince the satisfaction of his audi
ence.
Mr.. Russell's speech was also well
received. Russell has been In the
State about eighteen years, and is
one of The purest and best men in
Il. He is well versed in ali
public questions, and knows the
public men of the country. His
speech was u reasonable and candid
defense of tho Republican party.
Ills declarations of the danger
ahead at placing the country in the
hands of the Democratic party were
well received and had good effect
on the people.
A. NJ. F. Randolph, the nominee

promised to come at some future

talk. Our people will be glad to
hear him.

Why is it that the Democrats are
SO awfully anxious for the success
of the Reformers in Kansas this
fall? They take more interest in
our fight than any other class of
people. Especially is this the case
with a well posted Democrat out
side of the State, who fully appre-
ciates the value of a defeat of the
Republican party of Kansas. A de-
feat of the Republican party in this
State would be the biggest card
they could play for '7G. Hence
their anxiety for the success of the
Reform movement.
