 JUNCTION Cry, Kan, Jan. 25, 1875.
 Ny dear Mrs. Coit.-The Litchield barrels arrived safely this morning with out break or injury of any kind, and I will not venture to say how many of their con- tents are tonight making happy hearts md homes on these prairies. Everything was SO Very nice, so much better than any thing we had hitherto received that I was proud to tell the ladies they came from the good old town knew so well. The boots and shoes, coats and pants, were especially hailed with joy, for when we left our little office, Saturday, not 8 single article of these things remained, so many had been tue demands for them. And the nice selection of stockings came in good play. had hardly unpacked the things, and came home for little while, when poor sick man in the country sent Tn to know if we had some stockings for his four little girls, all destitute, and 1 was so thankful to be able to supply them.
 The comfortable hoods and skirts were also greatly appreciated-it is hard for me to particularize when every thing is so good--as for the warm underwear it is in great demand and we have not been able to keep up with the call, although we have given out good deal such work to the poor women who come for sewing The tea I will keep to give out to the sick, as it is luxury ln these days; and some of the nice dried apples and beans will go the same way. Blessings on you all, dear Litchfeld ladies, for the good warm cloth ing. and again l say, especially for the shoes.
 Friday evening, after my days work scantily provided with this worlds be- longings) in behalf of neighbor who had nothing to keep her from the bare ground i thought had given away all could spare, but found pair of Arctic over- shoes which would yet do considerable service, and she received them with great delight. This same good Samaritan I speak of, who lives on the outskirts of town, not long since had some campers (emigranfs you would call them) stopping at her house over night. Not one but was barefooted, so she fitted them out from her own small store as well as she could, and spent the balance of the night sewing rags on their feet. suppose these things seem to you almost incredible, vet they come under my daily notice, and I feel we can hardly be grateful enough to the kind Eastern friends who have so gen. erously helped us in our efforts. On Sat- urday, we sent bundle to an old lady (between 70 and 80 years of age) whose only clothing was gunny sacks sewed to- gether.
 Again receive our heartfelt thanks and believe me
 Yours, most sincerely,
 MARY P. BOILER

Brigham Speaks.

Bishop McQuoid and other eminent
Catholics have had shy at free schools,
and it has occurred to Brigham Young tc
add liis polygamous testimony against
schools TO the statements made from. the
standpoint of celibacv. The priest who
has no wife and no child, and the priest
who has all ne can get of both, unite in
condemnation of the abominable American
custom which educates the poor man g
child with a rich mans money. Brigham
says:
Education renders q boy worthless. All
our congressman and Governors of States
and public officials are the spawn of free
schools. These men never performed a
days useful labor in their lives, and they
would be far more valuable to the com-
munity if they would lay down their robes
OF office and go to work in the cornfield
Would you have your children grow up
inaudlin and worthless! l had no school
ing, yet God chose me for the most exalted
position on earth. Your college professors
and men cunning in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians, often want meal, while have
laid up my millions, and can buy every
Congressman. every editor, and every
preacher in the country. Go away to your
c0rntelds. am opposed to free schools
and, understand me, although you come
begging to me on your knees, will not
give one dollar to educate another mans

Wonderful Railroad Tirnc.

Quick railroad time is the great desider
atum among the Anne rican travelling public
but quick time on railroads is economy and
saving of time to passengers at q greater
expense to the railroad company than run
ming on slow time. Notwithstanding these
pertinent facts, the management of the
great trunk route between this city and
as the Louisville route, via the Louisville,
Nashville and Great Southern. Louisville
and Cincinnati Short Line, Pan Handle and
Pennsylvania Railroad Companies, has
determined that on and after to-day, Sun
day, May 23, running time between New
Orleans and New York shall be sixty three
hours and a half, making the following
time: To Boston, 9:05 A. NJ, by rail only,
the Sound steamers as heretofore; New
York, 1925 A. NJ, instead Of 1885 P. M, as
heretofore; Philadelphia, 7:35 A. NJ; Balti-
more, 7::J A. M; Washington, 900 A. NJ;
Louisville, 3 A. NJ, and Cincinnati, 7:l5
A. NJ. The Pullman palace sleepers will
hereafter make their one change by this
route at Cincinnati, at 7:l5 A. NJ, instead
OF at Louisville. This is another great
feature in the progress of railroading in the
South-running through sleepers to Gin
cinnati from this city-and We hope the
time will come when sleeping cars will be
run direct from New Orleans to New York.
The spirit of the times demands 1t. As it is,
the above time, as presented, is wonderful
indeed.

Next Sunday the Grand Army of the
Republic will be prepared to observe the
decoration Of soldiers graves at Chalmette.
The steamboat La Belle has been secured
to convey passengers to and from the ceme-
terry. The bands of the regular army regi
ments will supply music, and an address
will be delivered on the grounds at Chal
mette by Colonel William Wright. In
placing flowers on the graves of those who
yielded up their lives for their country, in
reviving for the honor of the dead the mem
ories Of the past, in the martial music which
will lend its melody to the occasion, there
will be nothing inconsistent wit the Sab
bath day. and We trust all who enjoy the
blessing of life and health, and the benefits
OF better peace, will make the pilgrimage
to the soldiers grave, as holy duty for
good purpose.
