THE Monroe doctrine will have another
meaning if the story told by Il correspondent
of the fredericksburg Star concerning the
late President Monroe is true After leav-
ing the White House, Mr.. Monroe resided
in New York. Here he became embarrassed
and went back to his farm near Charlottes-
vile. About year after a New York cred
itor sent to james W. Saunders, lawyer,
claim of S4OO to collect Saunders was
well received by the ex-President, break
tasted with him, and had delightful time
until he politely broached the subject of the
S;4Oo. Mr.. Monroe quietly listened to the
request for payment, went to a drawer took
out not the money, but two pistols, and in
vited Mr.. Saunders to a grove near the house.
The lawyer demurred, and Monroe said he
would prefer battle to having his piece OF
mind destroyed by hungry creditors.

FARMERS TROUBLES IN
Colorado.

jackson Means, writing TO the
Garnett Journal, from Colorado,
tells little something of the draw
backs to farming in that territory.
He says:
"Yon know the farmers of Kan
sas are having q very trying time of
it, and it might be some consolation
to them to know that they are not
the only ones. The farmers here
have their troubles and failures.
The grasshoppers this season have
destroyed their oats and corn, and
injured the wheat to that extent
that they have only about y bushels
per acre, and that not first quality.
the grasshoppers were across the
snowy range about the middle OF
June, stopped a short time, and
then passed on. In about two weeks
they had another squad and they
passed on, and the country is COW
cred from the range to Denver, and
/ guess to the Missouri river. They
are laying their eggs, and the far
mers fear them next spring, as
spring is the time they do the most
damage. The people say they can
drive them into straw when they
are very young, and then burn them,
as Stokes does the chinch bugs.
They have been a damage to the
crops for the last two or three years.
I believe the people here would will
lingly exchange them for chinch
bugs. The hail here destroys large
quantities of grain every year and
the potato bug puts in his appear
ance to make things lively.

An Old settlers View
junction City Union.

On Tuesday we had talk with
Mr.. George +. Chase who has lived
on Humboldt creek in this county,
since 1857. Mr.. Chase's business
in town was to sell 4 load of corn
for which he received so cents 3
bushel. He stated that though
the corn crop was badly injured by
drouth and grasshoppers, it is not,
in his immediate neighborhood at
least, a total failure. AS Mr..
Chase lives in a section which, in
November last, was overrun by
one of the most destructive prairie
fires ever known in this county,
many of the farmers losing all
their hay and corn, We took con-
siderable pains to ascertain from
him the details CT the situation,
and his statement was far more
encouraging than we had antici-
pated. He stated that Messrs.
Chrisman, Carlton, Wetker, and
David Houts, and perhaps others,
would go back this season to
Missouri and Iowa, but that the
farmers who were leaving proposed
to leave their stock here, and
would themselves return inside of
a year. There was no intention
on their part to really "give up the
ship"
Mr.. Chase gave it as his opinion
that there was absolutely no COM
parison between 1874 and 1860.
That the difference between the
two was simply that between plen-
ty and nothing. This year farm
ers lacked some things, in 1860
they lacked everything-even hay,
of which this season there has been
an abundance put mp. Mr.. Chase
gave US n description OF thes"good
old times" of 1858, when the near
est "corn-crackers" were at Man
haitian and Wabaunsee, and the
nearest Touring mill was at TOpe-
ka, and of trip to mill which oc-
cupied a week, and which he had
remembered for all these years,
because at Wabaunsee, where the
party got their grist ground. they
struck capitalist" who set forth
pancakes and sorghum molasses
for supper. On the whole we
would advise any individual who
feels dyspeptic about this country,
and who is disposed to talk about
1860, to interview Mr.. Chase.

GRNERAr DROUTH.

A few people arc in the habit OF
complaining that Kansas alone was
affected by the late drouth. We
copy the following from the New
York Herald to show them their
error. 1t will be seen that the cal
amity was general, and in many
places il was more than in Kansas.
The Herald SAYS:

through out the United States, oil

many years, the weicuHl,- iai.ss

fence of even the foldesI inhabi-
tant." The drouth bad become q
general misfortune, and it was ap-
parent to all that, ii continued even
q month longer, it might assume,
in its TAR reaching consequences,
the proportions of G. general calami-
ty. II has prevailed for the last
two months or more generally over
all our country east of the Great
Plains, aud far into the interior of
the New Dominion, though in some
narrow localities, as in Connecticut
and at Pittsburg, there have been
sudden aud heavy foundations, in
many other places within the gen
eral area indicated occasional light
showers,
From the Great Plains 10 the At
Iantic seabOard this drouth of the
last two months has prevailed.
Had it covered the months of April
and May, our hay and wheat crops
OF this year, which have proved re-
markably full and good, would
have been disastrous failures. And
again had this drouth extended
over the months of June and July
our cotton and Indian corn would
have suffered heavily. AS IL Is, the
drouth has seriously affected what
is called the top crop of the cotton,
and from Arkansas and Kentucky
southwark has. to q considerable
extent, blighted the corn. In MISS
issippi it has so far exhausted the
soil of its moisture, and to such
depth, that in some districts the
forests are blighted as by sharp
and untimely frost. From West
ern New York to Kansas, in conse-
quence of the drying up of past
ures, wells, springs and brooks, the
cattle of tES farmers have suffered
much from the Want of grass and
water. In Lower Canada large
amounts of property in timber and
lumber have been destroyed bv
bush fires, and thousands of acres
of woodlands have been laid waste
on Long Island and in Southern
New Jersey. In Ohio and other
States west the drouth has de-
layed the farmers in putting into
the ground their wheat for the next
summers harvest, and in this view
alone general and generous rains at
this time will be worth millions of
money IN the country

REPUBLICAN ACHIEVE
NGENT'S.

The republican congressional
committee has issued an able adj
dress to the people sppropos of the
fall elections, and the following is
their summing up of the latest
achievements of the republican par
ty:
1. The debt imposed by demo-
cratic treason has been reduced
1882, 375, O1S.S5.
The financial power and credit
of the government advanced more
than thirty-three per cent.
The per capita expenditures for
government service, upon gold
and peace basis, reduced below the
cost of any democratic administra-
ton within the last thirty years.
4. The expenditures for govern
mental purposes, except those
chargeable to The rebellion and to
permanent and productive i'm
prOvements, have been steadily re-
duced.
5 The mechanical, professional,
commercial and agricultural inter-
ests of the people favorably pro-
crossing, and our citizens better
clad, subsisted and paid than those
of any other country.
q. Laws repealed which provided
for the annual levy and collection of
more than $500, 000, 600 of taxes the
products of industry and the neces-
saries of life relieved from further
imposition. The remaining charg-
es for SURPRISING the democratic
rebellion to be betrayed by imposts
and taxes on luxuries mainly.
7. Measures have been instituted
by which the facilities for inter-
state commerce are to be increased
to the advantage of the products.
8. The reduction of $685., 900, 900
in the principal of the public debt
will save to the people annually
$40, O00,0 900 in the outlay of interest.
8. The better protection of i'm
migrants, in their transit across the
ocean and after the arrival in the
country, has been provided for by
appropriate legislation.

time siipRed the IlarbEes on Scar
brough's wrists and brought him TO
Denver, arriving, as we have al
ready stated, last evening.
Major Crowell deserves great
credit for the skilIful manner in
which he tracked up and captu red
the fugitive, and he generously ac-
cords part of the credit o; the cap
ture to our well known local detec-
tive, d. j. Cook, whose assistance,
he asserts, was Of inestimable SER
vice to him. Since leaving Jewell
City, some thirteen days ago, De-
tectiSe Croweli has had his clothes
on but once, and has slept on an
average but two hours a day.
Kansas is indeed fortunate in
possessing q detective Of the rare
ability and energy rs that displayed
by Major Crowell, and they should
feel doubly proud of his last great
success.
Scarborough is a man about forty
years of age, finely educated, and
conceded to be the best accountant
in the State of Kansas. Up to the
time he Ieft Kansas, he bore an I'M
bIemished character, and his high
aspirations were the canse of his
downfall. And 1t is more than
likely that he will end his days In
the Kansas penitentiary.

HILL.

Natchez, like Vicksburg, lies on e
line of bluffs which reartheir bold
heads imposingly from the water.
It is one OF the loveliest of Missis-
sippi towns, and was once the home
of immense wealth, as well as of
much culture and refinement. He
who sees only NatcheZ-under-the-
Hill from the steamboat deck, gets
an impression of a few prosaic hous-
es huddled together not far from
wharf-boat, a road leading up q
steep and high hill, and here and
there masses of foliage. Let him
wander ashore, and scale the cliff,
and he will find himself in a quiet,
unostentatious, beautifully shaded
town, from which, so oppressive at
first is the calm to one coming
from the hustle of Northern towns,
one almost fancies that
life and thought are gone away
but he finds the cheerest of people

tunes,-and homes rich in refine

Masonic temple, and hosts of pretty
houses. You walk beneath the
