KANSAS SENATOR'S.

Kansas still bleeds. Not exactly this
time in the manner that Rev. ii. w.
BEEcHER would suggest by IA little
more blood letting;;' but in the person
of her Senators. OLD Pom brought great
discredit upon her by his bribery and
corruption actions, and he is in a fair
way, we are happy to believe, to get his
deserts. Nor is it likely to facilitate his
efforts to have his case allowed to be dis
missed without being brought to trial,
that Senator INGALLS, of that unhappy
State is likewise being hauled over the
Goals for misconduct.
A dispatch from Kansas City, Mo-,
dated August eth, says: "The Times of
this city published fifteen column
expose of the private and political misdo-
ings of Senators INGALLS,, of Kansas.
The charges are of very damaging
character.
Senator INGALLS, is Republican, and
an original one. True he joined, we be-
lieve. the reform movement, but still he
has never given up his adhesion to his
party. 1t was, however, doubtless thought
that when took stand in opposition to
the Radical faction Of his party,
that he would have also left
behind him his bad habits at least to
some extent; but it turns out that such is
not the case. 1t is highly probable that
he was conscientious, and really deter
mined to turn over a new leaf, and lead
new life; but long course of evil COM
munication so contaminated him that he
found himself unable TO tread consist
emily in the path he wished to adopt.
He has fallen, and we trust his example
will teach good moral lesson; never to
yield, through temptation, to evil In
iuences, for they, when once INDUCED
2'c hard to shake of, and bad habits,
once formed, are discarded with difficulty.
Kansas is being purified, and she will, it
is likely, learn through her many trials
that she had better select ut once an
honest man to represent her, and then
she can rest satisfied that her interests
will be jealousy guarded in way which
will bring no further rcproach upon hen
Let her send to the Senate next time a
straight-out Democrat, and she will be
safe.

article in Berlin paper, which will
convey an idea of the German estimates
of the coming American hotel: "The
latest American progress in building
will be the mammoth hotel, soon to
be erected in Chicago. This enormous
hotel is to have q frontage of three
English miles long, and depth of
six miles the height of seventy-seven
stories, will measure 3, ,480 feet from the
ground-foor to the roof. The hotel
will have no stairs, but five hundred
balloons will always be ready to take
visitors up to their rooms. No room
walters are to be employed, but visitors
will be served by n newly patented au-
tomato, put up in every bedroom, who
will do all shaving, shampooing, etc., !,
to the guests by very simple and in
genious mechanism. Supposing the
guest requires hot water, the automatic
will be able to call down stairs ga
bucket of water up to room number
one million three thousand one hun
dred and seven." and the water will be
up in seven seconds by patented eleva-
tor. Half an hour before table d'hote,
instead Of the ringing of bells, gun

to call the guests to get ready for their
meals. The tables in the dining

"A New Yorker tells of some nice
grass for front yards. He says
" Couch, or kntoh, grass takes posses
sion of the superficial stratum and ever
lastingly splices and plaits its roots into
iudistructibie sinnet. It can not be
rooted ou'. In India and Persia, where
every blade is scorched by the blazing
sun and hot winds of the dry season,
horses and cattle are fed on the succn-
