ANCIENT INKS.
The ink used by ancient writers was
Formed by lampblack, ..r the black taken
from burnt ivory, and SCOT from furnaces
and baths. Some have supposed that the
black liquor which the cuttletish yields,
was frequently employed. One thing is
Certain, that whatever the component in
gradients, from the blackness and solidity

Was much more opaque, as we'll as en-
caustlc, tnan that which is used in modern
TIMES. Inks OF different colors were
much in vogue; red, purple, blue, and
Soiu and silver inks, were the principal
varieties. the red was made from yer.
miiilon. cinnabar, and carmine, the pur.

Golden INK was much more popular

the manufacture both OF il and silver ink
Was an extensive and lucrative branch of

A. E. TouzALIs, ESQ, Land Commission
er, Topeka, Kansas:
DEAR SIR:-I have ut YOUR request.
thoroughly examined the character of the
country through which the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad passes.
from Topeka to the west boundary of the
state of Kansas
On finishing my survey, which his had
for its chief object to ascertain the agri-
cultural value of the lands of the district
referred to, am free to say that ] have
never passed through better or so good
a tract OF land, or one SO remarkably ia.
vorable to settlement, as the one in ques.
ton. BY closest observation throughout
a journey OF thousand miles back and
forth, and through the country in places
ten miles distant from the railroad, fails
to detect so much as any single acre in
any place. in any township passed
through, which was not capable of easy
and profitable cultivation. So easy are
the slopes of the bluffs, so level the bot
toms, so regular the quality of the soil,
that there Is nothing to hinder the plow
from traversing the whole valley from
end 10 end, and turning one continuous
THROW for three or fcdr hundred miles in
length, unless it be the frequent springs
and water courses that would be encoun
tered.
Such is the superficial character of the
Arkarssas Valley in the western and Gen.
trail parts of the state, and the valleys ol
its eastern tributaries. In conjunction
with this favorable surface, / found the
richest soil, susceptible of the easiest cul
tivation; abundant flowing water from
springs and streams; the sweetest-flav
ored and most wholesome water in wells
in permanent supply at an average depth
of 10 to 20 Feet below the surface; pure
bracing air, entirely free from raixsma ol
other unhealthful influences, with eli
mate peculiarly favorable for agricultural
operations.
Of these advantages / will say q few
words in detail as to the results of nv
observation. First, as to soil. Generally
this Is deep, black loan, resting on
lighter colored subsoil, being so porous
that surface water readily passes through
