SIX MONTHS OF SNoW.-It may
sound very strange, and may be diff
cult to realize but is nevertheless true
that we have had six falls Of snow in
six consecutive months. Satur lay
last, although the twenty fifth OF
April, was a drcary, cold, cherries,
wintry day, with snowy RAIN and sIeet
falling alternately during the entire
presence Of daylight. Its counterpart
was the twenty fourth of October,
1873, the interval being period of
six months and one day, which may be
put down as our winter, a long, dlsa-
greeable and nasty one it has been
too.- Times, April 9th.

The Veto.


TIE recent veto OF the initiation bill by
President GRANT was a timely and .clling
rebukc to the mad legislation which dcycl-
opcd it. In sensible, decisive manner, he
put in his refusal to sanction the further
issues OF promises to pay as tending in
definitely to some condition or situation
without ever reaching the pay He has
lively apprehension of the duties of the
government this matter, and seems not
to hesitate TO say in effect it has no right
to take up one promise" by eXpending
another, and that the shortest way ito pay
is 'to pay" This rule among business men
is highly regarded; in fact, they want no
better one. Generally, what is safe tinan-
callv with individuals is safe in the same
way with the government and those with
whom it deals. Hence President GRANT is
right; for daring to do so, in the face OF
immense opposition, he is entitled to un
usual applause.
1t is stated the President is thrcatcncG
with another opportunity to pass upon ;
bill of similar arac,er-'that the substance
of the banking bill recently vetoed would h'
attached to an appropriation bill as al
amendment, and then it would be see,
whether he would be SO ready to use hi
veto" Convinced OF the demoralizing ten
dcncy of initiation by any means, he vii
doubtless maintain his present wise position
unaffected alike by the play of trickcry o
the pressure of bullying SO mote 1t be.

Church Minll:cs.-In the minutes
of the Baltimore Conference, VI. T. Church,
South, held in Staunton, Va, in March last,
we observe Frostburg assessed with $3.50 for
ministerial support, and credited with
$31640, or $1G.40 over paid. In the list of
benevolent contributions, and other tinan-
cial exhibits, the assessments were fully met.
In connection with the report o. the
Committee on Sunday Schools, Rev, DR.. II.
II. S HoUGH, chairman, the following reso-
luton will be ofintercst to the many friends
section:
We take pleasure IN calling the attention
of the Conference and our people to Il forth
coming book on "rhe Relation of Children
to the Church" by Rev. SAMUEL. REGISTER,
ID. d., an honorcd member of this body.
BY request of the Sunday School Conycn-
ton of the Baltimore Conference, the au.
thor delivered an ESSAY" on the subject,
before that body, at its recent session, and
having been requested to allow its publica-
ton, he has since enlarged it to the dimcn-
sions Of a medium sized book, which is
about to he published under the auspices
of the Sunday School Convention. The
reputation of the author as a profound
thinker and theologian is a sufficient guar
antec to ALL both as to the actual merit of
the book, and its importance in forming
just sentiments and habits among our pco-
pie III regard to the relation of their chill
drcn to the Atonement and the consequent
duty of the church toward them.

Mr.. W. was seen to go to Mr.. Ewing

Messrs. Ewing and Davies, as you
were the only parties to whom Mr.. w.
spoke. or In any wise communicated,
you are the ones charged with running
ont doors and believing. You are
charged with being notorious for dis
turbing religious meetings. Now,
friend c., you well know that neither
of these gentlemen went out doors, or
made disturbance while j. NJ. Miller
was telling about the old hen and lii
tie chickens in his Characteristic, witty
and fluent style. When you, Mr.. c.,
put your John Hancock TO that false
hood, you knew it TO be as untrue as
it was malicious. Friends Davies and
Ewing, we are inclined 70 advise you
to avoid the prospects OF a felon's cell
by following the example of a young
man who sacrificed property, left Kan
sas between two days, by the light OF
a hay stack, and has succeeded so far
by the deceptive and contradictory
stories told by his friends as to his
Whereabouts, in keeping out of the

sosrErHING NEW.


We have new story about new
things. Everything in connection
with this story is new. The charae-
tiers which figure in the-story arc new.
They were born new, are new now,
will ever be new; they will die new.
They can't be old. The matter Is fix
ed. Then everything which gathers
about these new characters Is new.
We have not had as much newness to
write about in manya day. We know
our readers, like the people in days
gone by, are anxious to hear of some
new thing, and we have that this
week. We like to treat our readers to
such refreshing newness.
The origin of the story is about this :
We were standing on the balustrade of
THE NEWS building few days ago
and saw heap of new boxes, big
boxes and little boxes, all new. We
thought it meant something and went
down to see. Sure enough it did mean
something. That heap of boxes, as
big as house, meant new calico, new
muslin, new clothing, new dress goods
of every style and grade, new boots
and shoes, new everything kept in a
dry goods store. AID you need not
be astonished when say 1t means two
or more new men in one Newman
but now we have let the eat ont, VIC
had just as well say that Newman
Bros. have received new and COM
plete stock of goods. The largest
which they have ever brought to this
market. They are going to remove
TO their new store, one of the best in
town, on Commercial street next week.
But they are prepared to sell goods
now, you need not wait for the remov-
al. 1t will pay you to go and see them
at once. Thus eRdeth the first part of
this new story.

DAY 40 LONGER DREAD. Mrs.
Schramm's Magic Self-washer viii
cleanse your clothes without rubbing.
1t saves hard work and will do the
washing of a large family in two
hours. Steam has long been known :.s
the most powerful agent in removing
dirt, grease and stains from clothing,
and bleaching them white. Paper
makers have for years used steam in
cleansing and bleaching, with success.
The Magic Seif-washer will do this
work perfectly, by applying the steam
directly to the clothing. 1t is superb
or to all other devices for the follow
ing reasons: l. 1t does its own work.
.. 1t uses less soap. 3. Clothing
wears double the time. All frabrics
from the finest lace to bed-blankets,
can be washed perfectly and with ease
without the wash-board. 1t is truly 4
labor-saving Invention. The price of
the self washer is only So. For sale

BRAGUNIEn,s GROCERY HOUSE.

1t is fact that the Bragunier Bros
are keeping a large stock of groceries,
and are doing u heavier business now
than ever before. Their house is piled
so full of goods that they hardly have
room to do business. They have lately
put cellar under their entire build
ing, and this, too, is full of goods.
The Braguniers understand the grocery
business to perfection. They are live
men. They make speciality of fresh
and canned fruits, and we believe there
is nothing the appetite Graves that
cannot be found on their shelves.
There Is no finer or larger retail stock
OF groceries, in all departments of the
business, in Southern Kansas than
may now be found i'm their store.
Their trade Is simply immense. Their
house is often crowded from morning
till evening. They sell cheap. In this
respect they allow no one to surpass
them. We are always glad to note
the success of live men, such as the
Braguniers are.
