COMPOSITION ON THE TOBACCO
WORM.

The tobaker worm is inhabitant Of
the tobaker patch. lie is very green, and
when you catch him lie grits his teeth
and splits green tobaker juse on your fin
gers, and tries 10 stick his horn in you
His horn is on the other end to what the
rest of the animals have them, and he
amt got but one, either don't see why
his eyes wasn't put closer to it, so he
could see how to hook good. 1t looks
like it would do better for a tale than a
horn, but | reckon lie don't need tale,
as the flies don't bother him much. l
bet lie can chaw more than any worm or
man in this country, and not make him
sick. | onst knowed a man that sed one
time they chawed all his tobaker up, and
| then got up on the fence and asked every
teller what passed for a chaw of tobaker,
and tramped down a ten acre field of corn
goin to the branch TO drink, but don t
believe it, cause he was a big liar any
how. But / know one thing, he ain't
good for nuthin, and don't like to hunt
EN-, when the sun shines so hot that it
fries the skin on the top of my he'd, and
makes the grease run down in my eyes,
and almost makes me wish sometimes
there wasn't no tobaker worms. But
Bill says if there wasn't no worms and
suckers to eat on the tobaker, it would be
20 easy TO rase that everybody would
have him patch, and soon glut the
market, so it wouldn't be worth nothin.
| wish it would git glutted, cause | don't
like TO work in it. Yours Truly,

LETTER FROM R0SINE.

RosINE, ONO COUNTY KY, Aug 10.
EDITOR HERALD:-Our little town is
keeping up pretty well, considering the
scarcity of money and unfavorable APP
pearance of crops in this vicinity. Oul
population consists of about seven OF
eight families, of various occupations
We have three dry goods stores, one
drug store, confectionery, one hotel
one mechanic, one teacher, one physician,
and a section boss. There are two OF
three men whom we cannot place. They
are not farmers, mechanics, merchants,
lawyers or doctors, but are usually seen
sitting or lourgiYg aroud the dsor on
empty barrels or boxes; and, dare say,
that some poor woman pays the penalty
as she busily plies her needle round the
extensive circles on the retrospective part
of their pants.
Our merchants seem TO be doing a toll
erably lively busin ess. and if they would
only spend one-fourth of their time in
cleaning around their doors that they do
in playing marbles and gazing on such
like scenes, there might soon be some-
thing said in regard to the neat appear
ance OF the town; but as it is, nothing
can be said on the subject that would re-
fleet any credit on the inhabitants.
There are no WHISTLES kept here ex-
cept for medical purposes, yet there is a
house men 60 into, and sometimes come
out with exceedingly red noses, and a
breath in perfume not unlike that which
you would inhale 10y putting your nose to
the bung-hole of a whisky barrel. X.

LETTER FROM KANSAS.

SEDGwICK CITY, Ks, Aug. 10, 1875.
EDITOR IIERALD:-As | have time and
opportunity to write you concerning this
part Harvey cpapty) of the State of Kan
sas, and knowing that the people of your
county would feel am interest in reading
faithful description of Southwestern
Kansas, have concluded to try to par
italy delineate some of its characteristics.
This beautiful expanse of country, de-
nominated the Arkansas Valley, is nearly
midway between the great oceans, the fer
tility, healthffSess, and natural advGn>
tages of whicitasnot be surpassed by any
land between the coasts of New Jersey and
California, wrh a soil adapted to the
growth ofcorn, wheat,rye, oats, and all OF
the cereals in as great quantity per acre
as any portion of tue United States.
The climateand health ofthe Arkansas
Valley are among its chief excellencies.
The atmosphere is dry and pure, and sin.
gularly beneficial TO persons predisposed
to consumption and bronchial affections.
Marshes and s;agnant ponds are scarcely
known, while billions diseases, which are
incident to all new countries, are almost
wholly unknown here The winters are
very nearly the same as those of Ken
lucky, except the wind strikes us with
more force. This is in consequence ofthe
scarcity of timber.
No country in the world can furnish a
larger number of days in the year in
which outdoor work can be done.
In the hottest days of summer there is
usually a cooling breeze.
The nights are always pleasant here in
the summer season, and altogether differ.
ent from the bot sulIry nights Of July and
| August Of the Eastern States.
1t is true that timber is scarce, but
when we take into consideration the old
process of working for lifetime in order
to prepare a firm for plOw, and when
we consider that in the short time Of three
years we can, with but comparative little
! labor, grow complete Usage orange

One may live as a conqueror, ruler,
or magistrate, but he must die as a
man. The bed of death brings every
man to his pure individuality; to the
intense contemplation of that deepest
and most solemn of all relationship
relation between the creature and the
Creator Here it is that fame ard re.
nown cannot assist us; that all external
things must fail to aid us; that even
friends, affection, and human love and
devOtedness cannot succor Us.

THE appointment of Col. SToDDAED
JOHNSTON as Secretay of State, rice
Judge CRADDocK, resigned, is a most
judicious one. Although wholly de-
voted of late years to editorial pursuits,
Col. JOHNSTON is a lawyer of eminence
in the profession. A better selection
could not have been made. We con-
graduate the Colonel on his appoint
ment, and sincerely trust it may prove
the first step to greater preferments and
loftier positions.

TIE only fault we have TO find with
Governor LEsLIE's administration, is
his lavish use of the pardoning power.
The laws against gambling, unlawful
liquor selling, and like crimes, are in
adqute for the protection of society
from their bamcfJ1I effects, even when
enforced to the eXtcmest penalty, and
10 pardon this class of offenders is to
outrage public decency, and trample
justice under foot. Besides, it is rob-
berry of the people.
This fault we complain of is not pc,
culiar TO our present Executive. He
but follows the example of his predeces-
sOrs. But it is high time to down brakes
on this thing, In the last ten days, in
this county, We have had a case where
in the exercise of Executive clemency
will work damage to the community,
in that it will give fancied immunity
to other law-breakers. No Governor
should permit himself to go behind and
annul the verdict ola jury of the vicin>
age. When he docs this, he robs the
law of its chief virtue.
A day or two ago petition went up
TO Frankfort, praying the Governor to
pardon, in advance of trial, an ADAM
doned woman who is now in our Jail,
indicted for fornicatiOn and keeping a
bawdy house. The people of Rockport,
near which she pursued her vile calling,
demand to be protected from her vicious
influence and vile example. The NOR
al sentiment of the county demands
equal protection. If the prayer of the
petition should be granted, and this
woman turned loose to again ply her
vile avocatiOn, then We suggest that
the people of Rockport give her short
notice to leave, and, in case she fails to
comply, then let them fasten a stone
about her neck and sink her in Green
River. Better, a thousand times bet
ter, that she should rot in Jail, or feed
the fishes, than that some innocent but
ignorant and foolish girl should become
debauched through her procurement.
The petition incorrectly states that
sheis confined in cell with a negro man
All of our citizens who know anything
at all about the matter, are aware that
ever since she was placed in his charge
the jailor has kept her down stairs in
his family rooms, except when her con-
duct required him to lock her up; and
never but once has she been placed in
the same cell with the other prisoners
and then it was her own wish, and she
was not permitted to stay longer than
an hour and half True enough, she
0 ight lot to have been in there at all.
The jailer ought not to haYe given her
any choice in the matter. We are con-
fident that he will not again offend
in like manner.
In the meantime, We assure the Gov
ernor that his clemency would be mis-
placed in this instance. The case is
not one that admits of sympathy, but
to the contrary. The law, as it stands,
provides penalty totally inadequate to
the enormity and foulness of the Offense
with which this woman is charged, and
of which there can be no doubt of her
guilt.

DCNDAS DICK & CO. use more OIL OF SAN

pure Oil is sold cheaper in their Capsules
than in any other form.
OIL OF SANDALWO0D is fast superscding

in six to eight days. From no other medicine
can this result be had.
