And if st. Ignatius does not attend to
his business, and protect the town from
pestilence and famine, they will kick
him out, too, and try another. But
Ignatius will probably be Loyola to the
interests OF the citizens than the other.
LOOK out for more earthquakes. An
examination of the history of these sub
terranean disturbances shows that each
great eaTthquake-say of the dimen-
siOns of the recent one at Cucuta, in
which ten thousand lives were lost
has been followed for a certain period
by innumerable lesser ones. In the
summer of 1868, the coast of Chill and
Peru were shaken by terrible earth
quakes, in which many lives and a vast
amount of property we're lost, and, just
two months later, on October 81, San
francisco was shaken so violently that
buildings cracked from top to founda-
ton, and assures throwing forth jets of
water opened IN the streets. In the
same year the Hawaiian volcanoes had
violent eruptions, and the subjects of
Kamehameha were made sea, sick by the
continued swaying of their islands. In
the same year Vesuvius opened out
with a fresh eruption. The great
earthquakes of Caracas, in Venezuela,
and New Madrid, in the United States,
occurred just six months apart. II
we are TO regard these precedents, an
other great upheaval may be expected
somewhere on the American continent
between this time and the Ist of Janu-
airy. Tice has booked us for cata-
clysms, cyclones, and earthquakes, and
similar lively occurrences during the
month of October, Taking it altogether,
the prospect for the remainder of 1875
is decidedly uncomfortable for everybody
except Elder Thurman and his fol-
lowers.

The Romance of Border Life In Kansas.

The Romance of Border Life In Kansas
One of the main tributaries of the
Little Arkansas river is called Running
Turkey creek, at the mouth of which is
Jim Geary's rancho, an old and some
what notorious stopping place IN the
days when government provisions we're
hauled from Fort Harker to the Indian
territory by means of bull and mule
teams. Among the early settlers was
family from Ohio named FalCOner, which
consisted of Robert Falconer, his wife
Sarah and an only daughter, Bessie, at
this time about seventeen years OLD.
The young girl was engaged to young
farmer, and had nothing happened
would have been married last friuAy
evening. The time for the marriage
arrived, so did the bridegroom ana m
vited guests, but, strange, no BRIDE
aDpeared. Her parents, suppOsing she
v1as in her room, went to the door to
warn her that the time for the perform
anca of the ceremony had arrived, when
they found the room empty. 1t was
early evening and not yet dusk, 80 they
walked TO the window to endeavoF TO
discover the truaDt. Their horror may
be imagined when they saw rapidly DIS
appearing through the timber on the
creek bank, a man carrying IN ms arms
the form of q young girl, WHICH, IIoI1
the dress. they Immediately recognized
as that of their daughter. In an instant
the alarm was given, and the whole
,,artv we'll armed, started IN pursuit
WitSin a Few minutes they were within
onDsbot of the fugitive, but were un-
SbIe to use their weapons IN conse-
onence of his shielding his body with
the loved form of the bride elect. The
vounO lover was almost frantic, and IN
his frenzy appeared to have gained the
feetness of the antelope. OveTtakIng
the almost breathless abductor, he
seized him, and after a brief struggle
wrested the girl from him, at the saTue
time discovering that the abduotor was
a Cheyenns Indian who had been around
the neighboFhood for year or two. AT
the same time that the farmer regained
his sweetheart, the savage, with an eel
ike wriRale, escaped from his hold and
started on a keen run down the creek.
The pursuers, however, were too much
for him, and one of their number
brought him TO the ground by means OF
a well aimed bullet from needle gun;
It was soon ascertained that the req
man was only wounded IN the thlgh;
| He was then taken prisoner and lodgeI
/ In a neighboTing dug-out, from "utI- ~

that a big alligator had become en-
tangled in the revolving wheel.
&c Fred Douglas, in fourth of July
address at Hillsdale, Pa, advised his

cultivation of independence is well

vote the far greater amount of their
acreage to the cultivation of corn, cot
ton, and cabbage.

A private letter received from San

on the part of the HcOpa Indians on the KIa-

Tobacco Growing in Connecticut.

The Hartford Times says that nearly
one hundred vessel loads of manure have
been shipped this season from New
York, Brooklyn and Jersey City to
Glastonbury and East Hartford for the
use of the tobacco growers, while at
least fifty more vessels have unloaded
in towns along the Connecticut river.
Fully one hundred loads have been re-
ceived at Sheffield and other towns on
the west side of the river by rail. The
vessels average fifty cords each and
farmers pay from S12 to SIS a cord.
Twenty years ago a cord of common
livery stable manure would have been
deemed extravagantly high at twelve
dollars q cord or six dollars a wagon
load, but the high price of the weed
sends up that of the fertilizers required
to produce it. Manure is so costly IN
Massachusetts that farmer living In
Springfield could not, on a fair expert
ment, raise corn for less than two dol
lars q bushel unless he made the crop
in part at the expense OF the soils nat
uraI fertility. Southern and western
farmers, who are unconsciously wear
ing out their landed estates, little dream
of the future cost to fully recupeI ate
them.

THE ARCTIC EXPLORER.

From leafy England far away,
His bones are laid;
Not where the lark salutes the day,
Nor where white lambs In meadows pIav.
In the green shade.
He lies within leafless land,
In the cold snow;
Where no kind foot or kindIier hand
Can visit him, or weave a band
To soften woe.
The white drift WhirIing all around
On sea and shore
They took him from the shin ice-bound.
Ard laid him gently in the ground
Fol evermOre.
And though no English larks shall throng,
Above his grave,
To soothe his Flunber with their song,
He lies secure from mortal wrong
o sweet and brave!
The secret of the Polar Sea
Is yet concealed;
But to thy vision, pure and free
The secret of eternity
Has been revealed!
