A Warming to Widowers.

The Hamilton Spectator chronicles the
appearance of specter at Grimsby. The
haunted man was widower known as
Old Kitchen, whose deceased wife had be-
fore her death year ago threatened to
haunt him If he ever had anything to do
with another woman. He promised to
comply with her wishes, and kept his
word until short time since, when in
company with man named Taylor, he
drove to Smithville to visit couple OF
young ladies. On his return home late
at night, Kitchen became visibly uneasy.
his agitation increasing as they APP
preached an old church, in graveyard
attached to which his wife was buried.
When opposite the spot "the white-robed
form of a woman was seen to rise from
the graveyard, and float through the air
toward them" Kitchen screamed out
in agony of terror, the horse gave vent to
a wild snort of fear. and ran down the
mountain at break-neck speed, and the
apparitiOn continued to follow them, float
ing through the atmosphere in terrible
proximity to the faithless widower. The
other man states that it "lOoked like the
corpse of woman with the death clothes
on. The face was quite dead and ex'
pressionless, and the eyes were closed
one hand was extended toward Kitchen
almost touching head, and the other
pointing toward Smithville." Finally
the buggy was me she'd against tree and
the occupants thrown out, and wher
they recovered from the fall the ghOst
was gOne.-I0rOn o National.

Cruelty TO Plants.

We trust that experienced botanists
run no risk of committing acts of cruelty
such as render the researches of anato.
mists and Psychologists SO unsatisfactory.
The following note on Dion9a nauscipuLa,
read by DIR. BalfOur at recent meeting
of the Edinburgh Botanical Society,
sounds uncomfortably like vivisection.
The doctor began, he said, putting black
pepper OH the sensitive leaf The Leaf
closed, and had remained closed since
the Oath Of June, secreting what he
called its gastric juice. Another leaf
behaved similarly, but others after clos
ing on the pepper, soon opened again.
II is distressing to find that the exper-
imentalist, believing this discrimination
to reside in six hairs that grew on the
upper surface Of each leaf, he deliberately
cut them off. Their loss seemed to con-
fuse the leaf, which would sometimes
close when irritatcd, while at others il
would remain sulkily open. Three OF
the hairs only were then removed from
one leaf without producing any special
effect. The other three hairs were then
removed the leaf at first closed slightly
it then ceased to respond to irritation,
though tried on successive days; but at
last, while being replaced on the Shelf
it suddenly closed in what the operator
is heartless enough TO call an awkward
manner"

Tragical.

The pilots of He'll Gate and Long Island
Sound gave a clam-bake at City Island,
recently, to Congressman and other distin.
guished persons residing during the summer
on the Sound. Among the company was
Sgnor Vianni, said to be of the suite of Count
COST, the Italian Minister. After the clam
bake, and the company had enjoyed them
selves making speeches and singing songs,
DIR. Doremus said that Signor vianni would
give recitation in imitation of Ristori. Mr..
Vianni took his position in the center of the
group. His voice was clear and we'll con.
trolled, his gesticulation highly dramatic,
and his limbs seemed to culver with passion,
while the expression of his face was start
ling. He finished with the exclamation, in
Italian, "God, who judges all, will Judge
this" He then took pistol from the outer
pocket of his coat, and placing it to his tenn
pie, fred. He fell partly on his face, and
perfectly motionless. The, spectators ex-
claimed, Wonderful" and Doremus rushed
forward, exclaiming, "Great God, gentle
men, he is xilledW Many at first thought
this part of the entertainment, but on
lifting the body the horrible truth became
manifest. DIR. Ellis probed the wound, and
pronounced the case hopeless. He lived for
half an hour, but never spoke. No cause
was assigned for the terrible act.

sought are medium feeces combing and delainc

that sellers prefer to hold. Extra and double extra

for selections Michigan feeces range from 43c. to

Mr.. EDITOR: Your remarks i'll last
weeks EAGLE in regard to my being a
candidate for the Legislature, has
alarmed me; as Henry Hodge says, 81
am a gittin' skeered." My idea is that
the Office should seek the man, unless
he is out of job, in that case he
should slide into the first vacancy he
sees. | thought knew enough Of pol
itics to know that an Office III pursuit
of all occupant would travel so slowly
that man possessed of half the encr-
gy displayed by a toad in pursuit OF a
bug, could keep out of the way. But
there is no knowing how fast an Office
like that of Representative might
travel, ct is not loaded down with
pay.) Iwould be willing to do much
for the success of the Republican par
ty. love the Republican party, and l
hav'nt anything in particular against
the Democratic party. They don't
either one owe me cent, and | don't
intend they ever shall. Notwithstand-
ing all this, would still be willing to
serve Sedgwick county in the Legisla-
turc, and give my undivided attention
to all ''castor oil bills" and other pro-
found measures, such as usually orig
mate in that august assemblage, if it
were not for the fact that all the time
l should remain in Topeka, aud away
from home, Ten Williamson and c. c.

and never can stand that. Therefore

The Agricultural Report.

The monthly report Of the depart
ment of agriculture for May and June
has been received, from which we
learn that "thc condition of winter
wheat is still low. There has been
material improvement in some of the
Western States, and Kansas especially,
seems determined to maintain her high
reputation as wheat district. The
averages for condition in the winter
wheat district beyond the Alleghanies
are as follows: West Virginia, 60;
Kentucky, 81; Ohio, 81; Michigan, so !;
Indiana, ii Illinois, ca; Missouri, So !;
Kansas, 81. In West Virginia freezes
have been followed by drouth. I'm
provement has been marked in Ken
tucky, but the losses have been too
serious to be repaired. In Ohio the
remnant still alive is generally late,
and in some places has been injured
by the fly, chinches. and by drouth.
The prospect is better in Michigan
than elsewhere except in Kansas. The
crop is light and patchy in Indiana,
blu; is improving. The crop of Hi
nois was too badly injured for more
than partial recovery"

Southern Outlets.

Senator ingalls, has recently been
visiting the Arkansas Valley, and in
the course of a speech no made at
Winfield, he alluded to the subject of
getting our surplus products to the
sea by shorter route than those we
now follow. lie pledged himself to
give what aid he could in this direc-
ton. 1t is refreshing TO know we have
a working man of Mr.. Ingalls, ability
in the United States Senate. When
Kansas can ship her surplus to the
worlds markets by way of the Missis-
sippi, or by rail to Galveston, as she
chooses, the transportation problem
will be solved and our young State will
be an empire. With such communica-
ton with the great world around US,
our farms would be worth as much as
those of Ohio or Indiana. We could
ship our produce as cheaply as they,
and we could spare more. We can
raise more of wheat and corn and cat
tie; besides we can raise cotton, hemp
and tobacco, and many other articles
which do not yield well there. Moth
ing is more important to Kansas than
direct southern outlets wilson Coun-
