present At that ''afTecting incident
at Dallas, described in his last paper.
We do not like TO spoil the Lieu
tenant Colonies fine little tableaux,
but he can fix it by getting some
other editor to play our part.
Judge Nelson refuses to let Mrs.
Tilton testify, saying that a wife
cannot testify against her husband.
We thought Tilton had been on
trial instead of Beecher, and this
proves it.
PERsoNAL.-We had the pleasure
yesterday morning to meet in orr
city Hon. Chas. w. PotWin, OF
GAINESVILLE, Ohio. Mr.. L. is large
ly interested in Kansas, and is a
shrewd observer. lie is glad to see
that we have gone through the win
ter in such good shape, and ex-
presses greater confidence in Kan
sas than ever before. He says Kan
sas far excels Ohio in the prospect
for crops. All the fruit in that state
lie dead, and Mr.. Potwin says that he
does not believe Ohio will raise
enough wheat in her eighty coun-
ties to bread ten of them. In many
instances the farmers are blowing
up their wheat. Mr.. Potwin gives
one welcome piece of Information
and that is that the Republicans OF
Ohio are going to lay Governor
William Allen on the shelfFthis fail
sure.

not had so much to say about ''gag
law" since the discharge of Buell..
Judge Dillon will visit Europe
soon, and remain absent all summer.
We see il stated that Judge Miller
will do 3 portion of billions work.
Would 1t not be a good idea for
some of our judges to visit Miller's
court and take few lessons in his
mode Of dispstching bust
ness. A little nearer approach to
his treatment of dilitory lawyers
and officials would put a stop to an
immense amount of court expenses
and be q great relief to the dozens
of working men who have to fool
around the various county seats for
weeks doing witness and jury duty.
One of the most vexing courses of
annoyance to the public, as well as
one of the most expensive sources
of waste of time and public money,
IL the weary and foolish dragging
out of the terms of tho courts
of the country. Not one
hour is spent in this way
by Miller, aud no fOolishness is al
lowed by fellows who call them
selves lawyers.

May l, 1875. ''''
DEAR NEWS Again spring is
slowly putting on her green. In
the winter we all fondIy hoped and
some predicted that we would have
an early spring. So far that proph-
esq has been a failure. Grass and
wheat are not as forward as they
were a year ago. The best is knee
high, and nearly all alike. Twice
as much in as there was last.
Stock, cattle and horses have done
better the past winter than l have
ever known them here. But very
few have died. But work stock
and mich cows are slim. Some
who haYe made the winter are still
waiting for grass to become more
substantial feed before they can
plow for corn. Some corn on up
land and sod will be planted late if
at all. On the bottoms nearly all
are done. April was a fine month
for all out door work, and it has
been well put in by all that could.
During the last month have had
pa inches rain, q of it on the Sth
g on the 25:h, and rs on the 30th.
This insures us almost beyond any
probable contingency a good fall
wheat crop.
In a late number of the Spirit of
Kansas / see the following ''Import-
ant Notice" The committee on
manufactures appointed by the s. of
l. and Z. of ii. respectfully solicit
any information regarding locality

t''> i--ri ot the county I should

Ing to Dir 0'Toole, that he did not get
the S. aid from the Grange at the Rap
Ids He has nice young orchard of
various kinds Of fruit, soIne of which |
are bearing.
Mr.. Daily is not a slow farmer, but |
tilis 90 acres OF corn this year, and has |
it already planted. He has good build |
ings, young thrifty orchard, and
seems to possess the visible means of
support.
Next we came TO the irrepressible |
Mr.. Branson, an old resident of Lyon
county, who is well fixed. He
came here about 1856, and now he has
gathered together a wife and several
children, besides about 100 head of cat
tie, horses and mules. He has some of
the finest MCGEE hogs in the country.
He has farm of 165 acres under fence,
~ in meadow, and large field i'm
oats, which look tip-top, and has
hauling tile rock and lumber on the
ground for barn 32x36, . stories
high He has good dwelling house,
granaries, and = nice thrifty orchard.
This was the place where stayed over
| night, and for the first time heard OF
the pesky grasshopper. The young
man who works for Mr. b. is authority
for the unexpected news that '.the
graSshoppers stopped the train be-
tween Emporia and Hartford, and
made q vigiiaft sea rch for aid goods
bur, finding none, they lit out to hold
| a caucus in the woods as TO their next
move" If the above is intended as a
grasshopper joke, and not fact, l
wonld recommend a bible and tract
agent to visit friend BransOn, and
| there leave q copy of the bible.
p After Mr. b. landed me on terra
.fr1aG on the opposite bank of the Neo-
sho, 1 wendell my way toward
| Hartford, neither turning to the left or
| right, till / was stopped by II noise,
sounding like the rush of a mighty
| wind. looked above me- at the clouds,
and then at my feet, and for the first
time on my trip saw grasshoppers by
the millions; but it was on the town
site of Hartford, and they were doing
no harm. The old citizens here, who
have seen the little hopper before, are
not uneasy about their appearance,
but think, as they haYe done in the
past, that they will go away and not
modest us. The chinchbug is report
ed among the late arrivals, but
no harm has been done by them yet,
and their presence is confined on one
place.
One noticeable and praisewOrthy
| feature of the farmers in this part OF
the county is that they farm on a
large scale and in scientific manner.
| When agriculture is studied and pur-
sued as science, then there will be
no guess work about crops, no planting
at random; our beautiful valleys will
then be perfect garden; farmers will
have advanced up the hill of scientific
agricultural knowledge; then it will
pay to be farmers in Kansas. This
era is now at hand. Farmers, like poll
iticians, are now being reformed. We
welcome this transitory state. A man
must know the principles of his
trade, or he cannot succeed. Science
| is the child of industry, and the hand
maid of farming; science is facts APP
piled; science is knowledge.

STATE NEWS.

Old Bender, it appears, escaped"
from his keeper at Florence, Arizona,
the day before Gov. Osborn's requsi-
ton arrived there. Well, Arizona
will have to suffer.
The number of business failures in
the United States for the first three
months of this year, has been 1873,
with liabilities of $3S,sT3,222. Kan
sas supplies only 10 of these, with liza
bilities of $4,000. Following our
drouth aud grasskopper year, this is
splendid showing for our state.
w. A. McColIom, c. 4. Strictly, R.
A. Steeu, T. S. Peters and D. z. Blan-
din, have incorporated company to
make salt, plaster of paris, land plas-
ter, and fine clay brick, at Council
Grove. The coal shaft furnishes these
materials.
Careful observers say that if the
destruction Of prairie hens and

Kansas is one of the largest
States in the Union; it is nearly as

like Massachusetts,: thirty nine
times larger than Delaware, and
would make fraction over sixty

ago, and last Wednesday, April
2S, was again nearly destroyed.
The fire broke out in one of its num-
erous lumber mile, and in spite of
the desperate efforts of the fireman
and citizens, swept through the city
like whirlwind. The destruction
of property was immense, few be-
ing able to save their clothing and
valuables, and hundreds of persons
and families were Ia one day made
houseless and honIeless.g Several
lives were lost, aud steam fire en-
CINE which was fighting the flames,
had to be left to its destruction.
The following telegram to the Chi
cagO Times sums mp the financial
results:

EDTToRs EMPoRIA NEWS The first
farm east of the Rapids belongs to Mr..
Muiconery, which is under high state
of cultivation, with good frame build
ings. He has sown 81 acres of oats
and 80 acres of winter wheat, both of
which are looking finely, besides hav-
ing planted about 20 acres OF corn. He
also deals in stock largely, having
nearly hundred head OF cattle, horses
and mules.
Just north of the Rapids lies the
beautiful farm of Mr.. White, with I20
acres under cultivation, on whiefPare
fine and substantial buildings. lie has
80 acre field of promising oats, and
has planted about 75 acres of corn, the
rest to be sown in Hungarian. He
has a fine orchard of apple and peach
trees, besides various small fruits.
Allow me to say right here, in re-
gard to the fruit generally, that the
peaches are going 20 be a fHsi crop !;
also the cherry and plum and the
small fruits in particular. such as the
gooseberry, raspberry and blackberry.
The bushes are profusely loaded with
blossoms The apple seems 70 be later
than usual in budding, but have no.
ticed few early varieties in bloom,
and viii doubtless bear some fruit. I
think our srumbiers are scared before
they are hurt. 1t is TOO soon on which
to rest the statement OF failure.
Mr.. O'Toole's farm OF GOO acres is
the next place to attract the attention
OF the traveller. He has 80 acres in
winter wheat, 20 of which looks very
well, and 10 acres not SO good, but
will pay to harvest. lie has 80 acres
in oats, which bids to turn out 3 large
yield. He has 70 acres of corn plant
ed, with 80 acres more to plant This.
