A County Clerk Speaks.

EDITOR TINES: In your edition of yes
terday March Eth | notice a commune
cation OF the District Clerk Of Northern
Kansas, in reference to the fees of his Of
flee, which, so far as relates to his office, are
correct but when he says tha, his office and
the Treasurer's are the only offices
that require brains, he speaks Of something
upon which he Is entirely ignorant, and if
the gentleman wants to be posted as to what
offices require brains, let him read the law
defining the duties Of County Clerk, and
then call on the undersigned and see the
practical workings Of the law. lie will
then be more able to Judge about what Of
flee requires brains, and l will make the as
sertion, without fear of contradiction, that
the duties oi County Clerk requires Us much,
ii not more brains than either Of the above
named offices. County officers, wishing To
show tie injustice done them bv the legis-
lature, Ignorant OF the duties OF county offi-
Gers, should cOnfne themselves 10 their own
offices, and not east slurs upon offices oi
which they have not the remoteSi idea Of

THE H.-P.-Mcy. SCANDAL.

Ii is bat fair that the public Judgment
should be suspended in the Hcnslcy-Pcn-
dery-McNulty scandal, until all parties are
heard. When excitement Is 50 intense
every story should be discounted one hun
dred per cent. Not one word should be-
credited. In this ease no positive proof j.
made OF anything. Judge Pendery posi-
lively denies the authenticity Of the letters
purporting to have been written by him, and
declares Mrs. McNuitv guiltlcs- of any
wrong. Mrs. McNGlty also asserts her in
nocence. There seems to have been ieUd
Of long standing between Mrs. McNUIty. the
daughter, and Mrs. Hcn~ley, the stcp-moth-
er. Our city editor has been instructed to

PALE SUNDAY.

The Palm, in countries where it grows,
has been symbolic OF triumph in ancient
and modern times. The triumph which is
commcmorated on this day is the peaceful
entry of. Christ into Jerusalem. This festi-
val was observed with much solcmuity in
Catholic times in England, and people were
accustomed TO make 4 procession, bearing
boughs of blossoming willow, as most re-
sembIing the fan-like branches Of the palm.
An old writer on plants says, speaking of
willow: The blossoms come forth before
the leaves appear and are in their most
fourishing estate usually about Easter.
Divers gather them 10 deck their houses
on Palm-Sunday; and therefore the said
flowers are called Palm" The datc-palm
is in many respects one Of the mos, valaa-
BILE trees Of the East, offering sus,enance to
an immense population, and cheering a
sterile region by IL beauty.

ANOTHER new FEATURE.

Another new and commen' able feature
has Just been added to the Indian policy
of the Government, under which all able
bodied male Indians between the ages Of
eighteen and forty-five, will hereofter be
required to perform service upon their. re
spective reservations, for the benefit Of
themselves or Of the tribe, at reasonable
rate TO be fixed by the agent in charge, and
to an amount equal in value to the annual
supplies to be delivered. The allowances
so provided are to be distributed to them
only upon condition OF the performance OF
such labor, the object heing to make the
Indians seli-supporting.

MANUFACTURES.

Wc hare time and again called the at-
teU.iOn oi the people oi Leavenworih 10 the
subject Of manufactures. Kansas is bound
to be a wealthy State, and the quicker We
inaugurate system Of manufactures the
sooner good times will come. Then the
grasshoppers and the drouth cannot harm
Us 50 much. We will have something 10
depend Oh besides the farmer. We Will be
producing As well as consuming. We will
be exporting a. well as importing. The
farmers will find home market for their
raw material in fact, the advantages that
accrue from manufactures cannot he enum-
