From wichita. Kansas.

The ST. Louis RepmLlicda says:
The following is an extract from . pri-
vatc letter dated Wichita, kas. Dec.
q. 1874:
A good deal is being done all over
the country, as | learn, for western
suffers. But | notice with extreme
regret that the business of begging,
now becoming general, is also. gaining
u degree of responsibility aud popular
ity which prompts many to call for re-
lief who could get along well without
any. Sach for instance as have clear
title to their farms, and could there
fore borrow sufficient means to carry
them through. But tits generally the
case that unworthy, natural-born beg
gars are benefited by the poverty Of
the poor, 1t would, however, excite
your admiration, 10 see how braveiy
some are trying to get along indcpend-
emily, their high spirit scorning relief.
Notwithstanding the drouth of the
closing year. the grasshopper plague,
ETC., Kansas, and this part of it in par
ticuiar, is not without unmistakable
signs of prosperity. helplessly poor
settlers have gone eastward again. and
many more have come in their stead.
am reliably informed that as many as
1000 immigrants have arrived in
Wichita within sixty days. Many OF
them are Germans, who are buying up
land fast, and not long since a party
was here from Illinois specializing in
land, and bought good deal at about
half of its real worth before the grass
hopper scare. While the poverty of
the poor is 10 their destruction, it will
be the means of enriching many.
Wichita is the most wonderful
Young city ] ever saw. A resident
having been absent three months,
would be astonished at its growth on
his return. Even in'the dead of win
ter, there are several brick stores be-
ing erected, there are already here,
good streets with imposing business
blocks and elegant private residences.
and those streets indicate more bust
ness activity than is often seen in a
small town. Business lots, am told.
that could have been bought two years
ago for $500 to $500 are now worth
from So, 900 10 $4,000 might write a
great deal more to show you why
think Wichita and tho surrounding
country save a bright future in pres
pect, but will not rrespass further at
present.

If there is a conspicuously despica-
BILE figure among all the Louisians
charlatans. il is the man Jewell, editor
of the New Orleans Bulletin. He first
attacked Gov. Yarmouth in his news
paper in cowardly and infamous
manner. He then sent somebody to
Yarmouth to ascertain whether the
latter would fight. Learning that
Yarmouth would rather not fight, he
promptly challenged him. Yarmouth,
contrary to his expectations, accepted
the challenge. Thereupon Jewell pro-
cured the interference of his partner
Bycrly, who attacked Yarmouth on
the street and met his death. And
now, after acting the poltroon
throughout and getting his friend
killed. Jewell permits his friends to
arrange the difficulty SO that he will
not have to fight. If southern chiv-
airy expects to claim any further for
bearance on the part of the American
people, it will drive this man Jewell
out of town. If it fails to do tins, let
us hear no more of Chicago
Tribune.

1t is mans own fault if he is un
happy with his wife in nine cases GU,
of ten. Ii is very exceptional wo
man who will not be all she can be t.
an attentive husband, and more ex.
ocptiopal one who will not be yer,
disagreeable if she finds herself VIII
fully neglected. II would be very
easy to hate man who, having bound
woman to him, makes no effort te
make her happy; hard not to love one
who was constant aud tender: and
when woman loves she always tries
TO please.
The great men of this world have
often been wreiched ia their domestic
relations, while mean and commou
mon have been exceedingly happy
The reason is very plain. Absorbed
in themselves, those who desired tho
worlds applause were careless of the
little world at home while those who
had none of this egotism stroye 10 keep
the hearts that were their own, aud
were happy in their tenderness.
No woman will love q man the bet.
ter for being renowned or prominent.
Though he he first among men she will
only be preader. not fonder; and II
she loeses him though this renown, as
is often the case. she will not even be
prond. But give her lore appreciation
kindness and there is no sarratire she
would not make for his content and
comfort. The man who ioees her well
IS her hero and her king. No less q
hero TO her though he Is not one to any
other; no less king though his only
Kingdom is her heart aud home.

The Louisiana Middle.


The affairs of this unfortunate state
seem truly 10 be involved in hopeless
anarchy. The late action Of the Presi-
dent ard General Sheridan, though
severely criticised by the democratic
and indcpedent press OF the country,
has had at least one good effect, that of
developing an immense amount of
street corner craftsmanship. In this
manner we have come to hear daily up
on osr throughfares. the most lucid
and harmonious settlement of this
much vexcd question, SO long perplex-
ing the President and our best states
men, az the mouths too, OF men who
were never known to conduct an or
binary business transaction without a
quarrel. The fact is patent, however
ambiguous the language TO conceal the
real truth; Louisiana nurses, even
glories, in an implacable hatred of the
colored man as ciiizea, and as nat
ural sequence, against every white
man willing 10 coaceed him such
rights, briefly, she is altogether un-
willing 10 accept the situation, the re-
suits of the rebellion, so at last
the achievement OF that period must
either be surrendered 10 Louisiana, or
yice-yersa. Under the existing. laws
of Louisiana only such officers can be
sworn in, as arc returned elected, by a
state board Of canvassers, whose pow
crs are great. The late legislative
trouble grew out of the expulsion
of the House, of five persons who
took their seats in violation of this
legal requirement clearly aud inside
from the aggression, their was as
much illegsliiy in the seating without
color OF law, as there was in the un-
seating. The bowels OF certain quart
ers of the country, however, seem TO
be more actively moved over the ar
bitrary and unconstitutional acts, as
termed, of the President and General
Sheridan, manifested in the expul-
sion Of these parties from the legisla-
tive body, through the agency of our
National police, called U. 5. troops.
The fact that the legislature could not
be peacefully assembled, without re-
cognizing this violation of law, as
lava manifest absurdity-led to an
application, made by the executive of
the state, TO the President of the Unit
cd States, under article ". Section Nv
OF the Constitution, which says !:
"The United States shall, on applica-
ton of the legislature, or lift cannot
be convened las in this case) the ex-
ec,,iye, protect every state against
domestic violence" SO that Presi-
dent Grant and General Sheridan had
at least small constitutional margin
to work upon. At all events we wait
with interest General Sheridans prom
ised neurological report-the names of,
aud causes that led 10 the murder of
over three thousand citizens, white
and coIored, within four years in that
state. This may prove potent in un-
yelling the mystery of the present
caasa jc}li aud go far towards deter
mining the vexed question OF "who is
right aud who is wrong"
