lOLa MINERAL WATER.


Health should be the - 81 consideration
in every community. Wi....,.s health
everything else lansuishes. One of the
greatest remedies for disease, and pre-
moters of health among the human fam
ily, is the natural mineral waters that
are obtained in various localities in this
country. Recently We made mention OF
the efforts of interested parties to prove
the healing properties of the lola min
eral water, from lola, in this State, and
we receive the following letter:
lola KANSAS, January 2Sth. 1876.
Topeka Bldde:-I noticed not long since
an article in your paper in reference to
lola mineral water, land will undertake
to inform you-or answer your question.
We have the well and the water; the
water after two or three years use has
proven itself a certain cure for various
ailments, including sores and ulcers re.
gardiess Of uhat caused them, and we have
been anxious to introduce it in order
that people nigh: know Of its curative
qualities, so by very liberal arrange
ment on the part of the l.. L. & G. Il. II.
Co., we have been delivering it at all
points on said road free of charge. We
tried to make a similar arrangement so
as to be able to reach Topeka and other
points, but were denied any show what
ever. This is the reason we do not fur
nish your city as well as Lawrence and
other points. We are, and have been
anxious to do so, but can hardly afford
to furnish water in packages and pay full
freights to your city for free distribution.
We do furnish Lawrence from five to ten
barrels per week cheerfully, and hundreds
are enjoying the benefits of the water.
We shall not however forget the Blade
and will supply its wants. To-day We
send by freight three gallon demijohn
via. Midland road. Send me the Weekly
and your "bill." Yours,
N. F. AcERs.
Why may not our railroads regard this
as public blessing and allow some ar
to be made by which this
water may be introduced here9 Why
may not some of our Restauaters keep
this water that the sick may come and
drink

ter.
The opening illustrated paper on Lyme
treats not only of a town interesting as
being the birthplace of the present Chief
justice of the United States, but of re-
giOn selected for the commencement OF
empire by cromwell, Hampden, and
several English noblemen. The article
carries us back over two centuries, and
is full of interesting gossip, humOr, and
romance. 1t is a remarkable study in
American genealogy. Lyme is especially
memorable for its lawyers, 'having pro-
duced more than any other town of its
size on this continent" including emf
nent judges, senators and governors.
PORTE CRAYON's Confessions of a
Candidate" with twenty characteristic
pictures, illustrates some humorous
features of district politics in the hill
country of Virginia.
"Vassar College," by Anna G. Brack-
EFT, is an intelligent criticism, in the
main favorable, ola representative female
college. 1t shows how the girls live, as

the illustrations, of which there are
fourteen, are the result ola happy selec-
ton of subjects.
The number contains two biographical
sketches, both illustrated-one Of the late
DIR. John Todd, and the other ofthe Hon.
Alexander III. Stephens. The article on
DR.. Todd is contributed by GEORGE
CARY EGGLEsToN, and that on Mr.. Ste
phens is from the pen of HENRY w.
CLEVELAND, formerly his private Sec
rotary.
Mrs. MARY TREAT contributes some
original and, to scientific readers, very
interesting investigations concerning the
value of the utricularia, differing in
result from that arrived at by Mr.. Oar
win in his recent work on Insectiverous
Plants.
In the 'First Century SERIES" EDWIN
P. WHIPPLE contributes the first of two
papers on American Literature. The
authorship of the article is a sufficient
indication of its Importance and interest.

MINERS are going into the Black Hills
country in large numbers. Already two
or three cities have been started, and
those engaged in mining report an aver
age of six or eight dollars per day. Since
the Indians refuse to sell this country at
reasonable price it is probable that the
army will not attempt to keep persons
from going there, and there are so many
of them that they can protect themselves
from the Indians. Every non-producer
in the country ought to 60 to the Black
Hills and get rich.

The Cincinnati Enquirer ventures little ad
monition to the democratic party not to he led
away by the hard money heresy, basins its re-
marks on the indianapolis convention. Says
the Enquirer: "That several hundred gentle
men, from all parts OF Indiana, should think it
necessary to divorce themselves from the two
great political parties in thst stats and in the
country to get a hearing upon such questions,
and, essentially. for such purposes as are
named in their resolutions, is a fact which
ought to tell against one or both Of these par
ties. When such men are numbered by hun
dreds Of thousands and ara found in all the lat
itudes and longitudes of the land, it becomes
apparent that something is wrong with one or
both Of those parties. The vast granger inter-
est, whose power it is as difficult to undereeti-
mate as it is T. overrsts the equity Of their
cause, stands with great calmness. but with
equal determination, asserting with entire una
nimi.y the salient points Of doctrine pro-
claimed yesterday by the independent conven-
ton at indianapolis"
1t looks now as if both the Democrat
ic party and the Republican party would
be split into fragments by the financial
issue. The Republicans Of the West
are becoming unanimous agains, con.
traction and resumption.

and thinks Donnelly would go for him if ne
were the candidate. No doubt he would, just
as be did in the House Of Representatives once
upon time. On that occasion he dissected
the Washburnian anatomy pcsteriori and
revealed fundamental truth not previously
known, viz: that the members of the WASH
burn family come into the world furnished by
nature with congressional credentials. But if
Donnelly at that time or any other. discovered
in the neither profile under consideration any
thing indicating an eternal fitness for the pres
