JOAQUIN Miller In Els Boyhood.

When / was about to leave the noun
tans of Oregon q few years ago and try
my fortune in the great wide world, as
the phrase runs, al old man sitting on 4
worm fence one evening, with mis- buck
skin legs hanging down, said to me,
very tenderly and wisely: joaquin,
don't you go; the worlds an impostor,
and it'll feed you on husks, as it did the
prodigal SON." But told him | was
resolved TO 20; then the Old man looked
down into the sun that was falling into
the Pacific sea like a mighty hemisphere
of fire, then up at his flocks of sheep
feeding on the hillside, and said. oval,
Joaquin, il you.must go,go; but you'll be
back some day to the old ranch. You'll
be sick OF tie :.url! and sorry You
went, aud you won't have no buckskin
clothes, and yon won't have no home.
But W ben you do come back-ior you're

no buckskin clothes and no home, YOU
must come to me and I'll give you
home, and YOU shall live with me and
take care OF my sheep, at so a month,
as long rs you live"
Well, have worn out my other

THE EEGISLiTCRE ELECT.

Ward Burlingame and somebody els,
has said that the Legislature elect is th'
ablest body Of Legislators ever chosen
in Kansas. This is very common say
ing. We hear it nearly every winter
And some OF those legislatures which
were counted on as very able turned
out 10 be first-class fzzles. However
VIC do find some brainv men in the Leg
lslature Just elected, land among them the
following persons: G. W. Click, A. J.
Mowery, J. d. Brambaugh, E. Sullings,
J. w. Taylor, II. w. Cook, J. r. Hal
lowell, IL. e. Webb, VI. w. Reynolds, p.
2. Elder, ID. C. Haskell, 2. |. Bone
brake, G. V. Eskridge, J. X. Wright, S.
n. Wood. We earnestly pray that they
will work hard, accomplish something
and show the people Of Kansas that
they are aLle 70 30 away with buncombe,
and are working more for the interests
of the State than themselves. The Leg
islature is largely Republican and pow
eriul enough to choke off the element
which usually spends three-tourths of
the session on the fooryc!ling "Reformi
Reform. Reform - " Work work.
work = is a deal better cry, and that
is about all the "Reform" the people ex-
pect from their solons.

Twelve miles from Sheridan, and close
TO the Colorado line, Fort Wallace
stands guard. Its bright flag, far away
over the waste, can be seen for miles
This piece Of country is known TO geo
logists as peculiarly rich fossil belt

specimens. In wild ravirc Just on
the edge of the town the remains Of Z
large saurian were discovered, and for.
warded to Agassiz. Other valuable
specimens were sent to the cmnen,
naturalist Professor Cope, and some,
which were new TO science, named by
him. An eccentric Sheridan man who
had contributed bis discover was as
founded by having it named after him.

All over this fossil belt the remains of

ANTHONY.

Tho opposition Of postmaster An

candidate for reelection TO the Office OF
sheriff in LcayeIworth county, recently
was based upon personal considerations.
Hoe found no fault, that we are
aware of, 10 Mr.. Bonds political
record, but opposed him because he
Bond had drank to his (Anthony's)
death. Now Bond should never have
drank to anybody's death, and he claims
that he never did. But suppose he did,
is that cause for man who claims TO be
one of the Republican lenders OF Kan
sas, who edits the "leading Republican
paper" of the State and Who holds enc
of the most Important Federal Offices in
Kansas (Which was gwen him by Re
publican administratiou)-is that any
cause why he should place himself in the
rank OF boilers and disorganizers we
think not. Ii the Republican party is 10

REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

The election returns from the differ
ent states as they were published last
week are somewhats modIfed by the OF
iclal returns. While Tammany WAS
swampcd in the city of New York, the
State went Democratic by very small
majority. Pennsylvania popular gov
ernor, Hariranfl, was reelected by some
10000 majority-a glorious Republican
victory. IN Wisconsin Luddngton, Re
publican candidate for Governor beats
Taylor (Dem.) by from 1000 to 1900
majority. 1t is thought that most OF
the Republican candidates tor State Of
fees are elected-though very closely
contested. The Republicans claim Min
ncsota by 10000 majority. On the
whole the Republicans have gained
greatly in this contest and the outbreak
IS most favorable for 4 sweeping victory
for them in 1876.

against q certain amount OF money.
The proposition was at once accepted
and the game began. At the last hand the
game stood father, >; opponent, ,. In
The deal the father received the follow
ing trumps: King, ten, seven and tray.
His opponent received ace jack, four,
and duce. The father begged, and was
given one, which made him within one
Of going out. Confidently believing
that the game was his, he threw down
the king and tray, exclaiming, "Can
You beat that for high or low p His
opponent replied that he could beat both,
and showed his hand, and claimed high,
low, jack, and the game. The claim
was denie d, the father hoping ;ha; he
could take the game himself. The game
went on. resulting in the success OF his
opponent, who secured the game By two
points. The winner still has the child,
and states that he intends keeping It,
