struck hard blows at the Rebellion.

Hon. Alfred Gray.

The Paola Spirit pays the fol-
lowing tribute to a worthy aud
hard working State officer:
One OF the most thorough and
painstaking officials in Kansas is
the gentleman whose name heads
this article. Fortunately for the
State he occupies the position Of
Secretary of the State Baard of Ag-
riculture, and is ex-officio, and all
there is of that institution, so far as
active business is concerned. His
compilations of statistics and infor-
nation for our State Agricultural
reports of the past few years are the
most lucid, complete aud reliable of
anything of the kind ever published
In the United States. The annual
reports of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington are not so well
made mp as Gray's Kansas Reports !
They are the most valuable books
published by the State. His con-
ception OF what such a work ought
to contain Is correct and Satisfactory,
and the arrangement of the matter
admirable. He is perfectly indefat-
igable in pursuit of his duties, and
takes pride in showing up the vari-
Gus resources of Kansas, not only
in these splendid reports, the publ
cation OF which are under his per-
'sonal supervision, but through the
press, and every other channel
which presents itself. He is an in
valuable man to Kansas, and to the
press of Kansas, and the editors
should pass him round. The very
embodiment of statistics, the master
OF routine, an untiring hunter after
bottom facts, q courteous and pol
ished gentleman-Mr.G Gray is clear
ly the right man in the right place.

THE DEAD Dolly.

You needn't be trying to comfort me-
tell you my dolly is dead!
There's no use in saying she Isn't, it'll Q
crack like that in her head.
It's just like you saId il wouldn't hurt
much TO have my tooth out that DAY;
And then, when the man most pulled my
head of, you hadn't word to say.
And guess you must think Pm baby.
when you say you can mend it with
And IL don't know better than that:
why, just suppose it was you?
fon might make her look ali mended-
but what do care for looks?
Why, CLUES for chairs and tables and
toys, and the backs of books!
My dolly! my own little daughter! oh,
but it's the awfullest crack!
1t just makes me sick to think of the
sound when her poor head went
Against that horrible brass thing that
holds up the little shelf.
Now, Nursey, what makes you remind
me! know that did ii myself!
think you must be crazy-youII get an
other headl
What good would forty heads do her? 1
tell you my dolly is dead!
And to think hadn't quite finished her
elegant new Spring hat!
And took a sweet ribbon of hers last
night to tie on that horrid cat!
When nanny gave me that ribbon-I
was playing out in the yard
She said to me the most expressly, "Here
Is ribbon for Hildergarde."
And went and put it on Tabby, and
Hildergarde saw me do it;
But l said to myself, ''Oh, never mind, 1
don't believe she knew itv'
But know that she knew it now, and l
just believe, do,
That her poor little heart was broken, and
so her head broke too.
Oh, my babyl my babyI 1 wish my head
had been hit!
For Pye hit 1t over and over, and it
hasn't cracked bit!
But since the darling is dead, she'll want
to be buried, OF course;
We will take my little wagon, Nurse, and
you shall be the horse,
And Pll walk behind and cry; and We'll
put her in this, you sec
This dear lite bOX-and We'll bury her
then under the maple-tree.
And papa will make me tombstone, like
the one he made for my bird;
And he'll put what L tell him on it-yes,
every single wordI
l shall say: "Here lies Hildergarde, a
beautiful doll, who is dead;
She died of broken heart, and a dread
full crack in her head"

a Ruined Man.

The following picture will be
readily recognized in Kansas:
Among the throng of spectators
at the opening on Monday, was a
slight, poorly dressed man, with
long yellow hair cOmbed out into a
great cloud like Frou Frou's. He is
an object of interest in Washington,
and, more than that an object of in
finite pity. His form is thin and
quaint his step nervous and elastic ;
his manner distracted; his hands
twitch conVulsively when they
should be at rest, aud his face, in
repose, is like the picture of Adam
in "The Passion Play at Oberam-
morgan" His days are spent in
the galleries of the House when
Congress 10 in session and during
recess at the CongI essional library
and in the various newspaper offices
Frequently he is seen pacing along
the street with an distracted, absent
air, and 1 saw him the other day
marking queer hieroglyphics on the
letter boxes that hang from the
lamppOsts. 1 followed him from
the capitol to the treasury. and on
every letterbox he wrote different
characters, crossing the street when
ever he saw q box on the other side.
On the lid of one were characters
like these:
$50 n n 60.
This man has had a strange his
terry. Fifteen years ago he was a
member of Congress from one of the
new Western States-the first rep
resentative the State sent to Con-
gress. He had risen to that position
from the printers case, having been
q compositor and editor, and was
one of the founders of the Typo
graphical Union. He was q MEM
Der of the first Territorial Legisla-
ture in his State assisted in franz
ing the State constitution, and was
elected to a place on the Supreme
Bench, which he declined, in order
to accept a nomination to Congress.
He was q man of rare oratOrical
powers, but an idealist. So vision
airy, so chimerical were his schemes
and theories, so unsafe his judg-
ment, that his career in Congress,
while brilliant from several bursts
of eloQuence, was q failure when
judged from a practical, common
sense standpoint. He was defeated
when a candidate for reelection,
and defeat killed him. For the ben
eft Of his health his friends obtain
ed a consulate abroad for him, but
his disappointment and the continu-
al misery of diseased imagination
unseated his reason, and he has
grown from sentimentalism to lu-
macy. Several years ago he left his
wife and children, imagining them
to be the mill-stone that hung about
his neck, and has since made his
home with relatives. Through the
influence of Charles Sumner and
Henry Wilson, his wife obtained a
position in one of the departments,
which she now holds. Two years
ago he became suspicious of the
motives of an ex-senator who had
befriended her, and shot him in the
street, but the wound of his bullet
was only q slight one, and although
indicted he has never been tried for
the crime. His history, SO sad, yet
so strange and roDatic, is known
only to \ few, but his face and pc:
culiar yellow hair are familiar to
every one in Washington.-Inter-
Ocean.
