The YeII0w Thistle.

1t might as well be called that az
anything else. 1t Is a rapidly in
creasing nuisance, and everybody
should cut it down on their premis-
es, while railroad companies should
destroy it along their tracks, and
rond OYerseers along the roads. The
Kansas Chief says OF it:
eve notice by the papers that the
burrs which infest this part OF the
country, are also bothering the peo-
pie in various parts of the State. By
some they are called sand-burrs, and
by Others thistles. The stems and
leaves are thickly studded with
prickly spears, but il is not q thistle,
but regular burr. Neither is 1t a
sand burr, for the latter has q blade
like grass, and runs close to the
ground, producing q small burr.
This is a weed that grows up from
the ground, sometimes several feet
high, aud has yellow blossoms,
which quickly form into good-sized
burrs. We have heard It called the
Spanish burr. 1t is a terrible nui-
sance, and everybody should see to
it that every plant oft is cut down
on his premises, for it multiplies
wonderfully, and will soon give
much trouble. The burrs that are
produced this season will lie in the
ground and terminate two years
hence. Not the least part of the
nuisance is the fact that the weed is
a great breede: and horber of the
potato bug"
What are the Oranges doing to
abate this pest to farmers?

The scandal NIOngers

The EsIPoRIA NEWS copies the
Champions article on scandal mon
gers, and says that Atchison doesn't
enjoy q monopoly Of that kind OF
cattle. We suppose they are to be
found elsewhere. But there are
SONS in Atchison who can, we think
take the blue ribbon az the first mis-
creants of that ilk. At least q dozen
foul stories, without even the shad
ow of q foundation in fact, have
been floating about this city during
the past month. They affected the
character of pure young girls, inno-
cent women and honest men. They
had no starting point, apparently,
and 1t Is difficult to trace them back
to their source. But some of these
days the filthy wretches, men or
women, who start such lies travel
ing about, will be hunted down, and
punished as they deserve to be, il
indeed any punishment severe
miscreants can be suggested or de-
vised.
The scandal monger is worse than
a robber or a murderer, because
character is more valuable than
money or even life itself. The
wretch who inVents q scandal that
affects the character of an innocent
girl or good woman, is incompar-
bly, vile and infamous, and no pun
ishment that could be inflicted upon
the man or woman guilty of such a
crime would be too severe. Our
hope is that the authors or invent
ors OF some of these foul and infa-
nous lies will be hunted down, and
punished as they deserve to be.
There is another class, allied to
the miscreants who invent scandal
Gus stories, who are almost, if not
quite, as bad. These are creatures
who greedily seize upon such stO-
rieS as a sweet morsel, gloat oyer
them, and repeat them with demo-
niacal glee, never stopping to in
quire whether they have any found
alton in fact. There is as little OK.
cuse for this class as for the infa-
nous wretches who originate scan.

Therefore, the Mississippi between

Consequently Its length is only 976

In the space of 176 years the lower
Mississippi has shortened itself 242

rian period lust q million years ago
next November, the lower Mississippi
river was upward of 100 100000 miles
long and stuck out over the Gulf OF

SHOULD HORSES WEAR
ESLHNDEKSSo

Ihls is still mooted question
among horsemen. The following
from foreign paper makes some
good points on the negative side
we never could see what vice or
deformity lay in a horses eve that
should make it necessary to cover
1t up and shut out its owner from
at least two thirds of his riohtful
held of vision. The poets say that
old age looks backward: but we
never heard such an idiosyncrasy
charged upon the horse. The
theory that horse Is apt to be
heightened when shut out from
everything behind him we suspect
to be fallacy, or else saddle horses
and war horses would be dulv
blinded. Every horse is as famii-
lar with his own carriage as with
his own tail, and as far as his
personal fortitude is concerned.

the horse can perceive them the
more quietly does he submit to
their approach. Then it is such a
pity to cover up one of the most
brilliant features of this most bril-
liant creature. The horse has
borne such hand in the civiliza-
ton of this rough and tumble
werld that it seems not such a
cruelty as discourtesy, as well as
a disgrace, to hide his form with
embarrassing togge-y. No won
der we estimate the force in the
world as horsepower; no wonder
the Romans and Germans, each in
their own languages, designated
their aristocracy as riders; no
wonder their descendants made
chivalry synonym for their high
est virtues. Let the horse be Civ
en- his due, and unblinded. The

BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.
Who is this who gently slips
Through my door and stands and sigh
lowering In = soft eclipse,
With finger on her lips
And q meaning in her eve?
Once she came to visit me
In white robes with festive airs
Glad surprises, song of glee;
Now in silence cometh she.
Aud ombre gaTb she wears.
Once waited and was tired,
Child her visits as too few;
Crownless now and undesired,
She to seek me is inspired
Oftener than she used to do.
Grave her coming is and still,
Sober her appealing mien,
Tender thoughts her glances fill;
But shudder, as one will
When an open grave is seen.
Wherefore, friend, for friend thou art,
Should i wrong thee thus and grieVe?
Wherefore push thee from my heart?
OF my morning thou vert part;
Be part too Of my eve.
See hold my hand to meet
That cool, shadowy hand of thine;
Hold 1t firmly, II Is sweet
Thus to clasp and thus to greet,
Though no more in full suns hinS.
Come and freely seek my door,
l will open willingly;
l will chide the past no more,
Looking to the things before,
Led by pathways known to thee.
