ception, and that was 3 tract of des-
ert which was too much elevated to
receive the waters of the Nile with
out too much labor and expense to
properly repay for the culture.
There is now no less demand for ir-
rigatiOn here than elsewhere, where
it most needs be practiced, but the
proximity of the Nile, or some
of its branches, renders this q nat
ter that is easily accomplished.
There IS undoubtedly more natural
fertility here than upon the deserts
above Cairo, ar rather upon those
portions that would be deserts but
for the process of irrigation, for ell
ements OF fertility have been
brought down mingled with the
waters of the river, and have been
here deposited, and for an unre-
corded period have contributed to
the production of the delta.

these large plantations during the
proper season, but our visit was
during the season between planta-
ton and harvesting, or at the sea-
son of growth of most of the crops.
l have the impression that l have
never seen q locality where this
farm implement may be more easily
employed than upon these deltas,
for the ground is extremely friable,
and contains no physical impedi-
ments. The cotton plantations here
are becoming moro and more ap-
preciated, and this is partly, and
perhaps chiefly on account of the
discovery of the value of the stalk
for fuel. We often saw donkeys
and camels and sometimes railway
cars loaded with bundles of these
stalks on their way to the markets
of the villages and cities.

The Bogus County bonds 81
EKAnRnS

Sooner or later we shall have a
legislature with sufficient honesty
and courage, to thoroughly investi-
gate the fraudulent issues of bonds
in Harper, Ness, Barbour, Com
manche, Pratt, Kingman, and other
counties of this State.
When this investigation is had, it
will be found that the bonds in
question, were issued without the
necessary population; that, in fact,
the organization of the counties
named was a fraud. The ultimate
result will be, WITHOUT doubt, the
reputation of the bonds. Those
who may have been induced to pur-
chase these bonds, will then de-
mand to know who was RESPONSE
bic for the frauds, and who secur-
ed the profits of the thefts. When
the purchasers of bonds in the east
find they have three or four hun
bred thousand dollars of worthless
bonds from Kansas, and our State
is heralded from one end of the
country to the other as q refuge for
men who can thus, year after year,
be allowed to porpetuate such
wholesale and astounding crimes
against the credit of the State, the
people will demand g. legislature
which will have the courage to
fearlessly place the responsibility of
the issue of these bonds where
belongs. Every citizen who values
the good name and credit of the
State, will have to bear his part of
the odium of these high-handed
frauds. When this chapter of the
history of Kansas is truthfnlly
written, it will be the darkest in
the many blotched and blurred
pages which the next generation
will read with indignation and
shame.-Kansas Farmer.

An Egyptian Mummy Comes 30
Life.

A gentleman of Halifax, England,
being in Egypt, brought back sew
eral heads taken from human num-
mics. These heads were brought
in separate small boxes, and one of
them in some way got soaked in
salt water on the voyage. When it
was opened by Mr.. Leyland, in the
presence of q number of other gen.
astounded-to find that the flesh On
the face had recovered its outline,
the cheeks and chin were plump
and rounded, the open eyes looked
upon them, and even seemed to
move. The gentlemen fastened TO
call others from all parts of the mu-
scum to observe this wonderful
phenomenon. For g few minutes
they beheld an Enthusiastically Egyp-
tian countenance, with pleasant,
composed expression-the face of a
man who lived at least three thous-
and years ago. They could only
conclude that the powerful aroma
tic gums which had been used had
arrested the decay which the salt
water had now rendered possible,
and which speedily set in after the
head was taken from its box and
wrappings. But several gentleman
who saw it have assured me that
they can never forget the life like
ness of the face before the swift de-
cay of flesh which followed.-Cin-
cinnati Commercial.
By all means resuscitate whole
mummy, or a dozen of them. We
hope 10 see some put to soak and
brought to real life right away, in
order to answer "a few questions
about the pyramids and Pharaoh.

The Commonwealth understands
that Hon. ID. w. Wilder has in con-
temptation a political history, or
rather hand book, which will give a
mass of statistical information con-
corning the votes cast 1t different
elections, and similar matters.-Ex-
change.
Mr.. Wilder is already engaged
upon the work in contemplation"
1t will be in press in May, and the
first edition will number 100 cop
les, printed and bound in Geo. W.
Martins best style. II will be q
great deal better aid more useful
than a mere political history aud
statistical compendium. Il will
contain every important fact and
transaction connected with tie
state, from the discovery of Kansas
by Coronado in 1912 to the present
time. The military history of the
state will be compact, bnt correct.
It is not intended as q book OF
opinions, but of facts. Mr.. Wilder
has the most complete collection oil
books and records relating to Kan
sas of any man in the state, or ont
of it, for that matter. In addition
to these, his ability as q writer,
coupled with his personal knowl'
edge of a long stretch of our his
tory, pre-eminently qualify him to
make q complete success of the la
borious work he has undertaken.
We look with great interest for
Wilder's Life and Adventures OF

Q.-Wbat evidence is there that
the slavehOlding States are sinking
into a state of barbarism?
A-The cruelties they commit up
on innocent persons. Large is the
number they have coated with tar
and feathers; large is the number
they have cruelty whipped; and
large is the number they have muir
dered vast are the robberies whole
States have committed upon the ma
tional Government; vast are the
robberies committed on private per-
sons; whole States havo repudiated
Just debts. Vast is The rebellion
raised against the general Govern
ment, without the slightest cause.
All these facts show that the moral
sense of the slaveholdiDg States is
abolished, aud that there is a rapid
returning TO savage life.

In the city of Rochester, N. Y,
