The Atchison, Topeka s. Santa
Fe r. r. Company is advertising
for fifteen thousand ties to be deliv-
cred at the option of the company,
either along the line of branch
road, located in the Walnut River
Valley, north of Eldorado, or in the

A new paper will be started at

The Topeka Commonw ealth
prints list of seventy Republican
papers in Kansas that have declar
ed in favor of the denomination of

From the Arkansas City Traveller.
FLAT BoAT.-Mr. NJ. A. FELTON,
started for Wichita, last Saturday
morning, with the ntention of
building a flatboat there and float
ing pine lumber down tie Arkan-
sas to this place. He thinks he can
GENE down in one day at the pres
ent stage of the water.
In looking over the county pa.
pers, and talking with gentlemen
from different sections of the coun-
try, we find it is generally expect
ed that Arkansas City will have a
grand celebration when the steam
boat arrives. The people of Win
field and Oxford have asked US to
notify them as to the exact time of
its arrival, when they will endeav-
or to come down ana help US out in
our publication.
G. r. Mitchell received letter
from VIM. Fowler, who left this
place June "a, for Little Rock, Ark,
in small sail boat, in which he re-
ports his safe arrival at RussellVille,
some seventy miles below Fort
Smith. He had rough time of it,
as the river was constantly raising
and filled with driftwood; but he
made good speed, travelling l5O
miles in one day, and being but six
days in making the distance. lie
made inquiry concerning the ''Gen.
Wiles," but it had not at that time
reached Little Rock, though ii
must be near Ft. Smith now.

re-issue) of the entire greenback
circulation. and for The unlimited
supply of national bank currency,
in accordance with the provisions
OF the national banking law.
The plan of permitting all
debts TO be paid in An equal amour
of specie which the debtor really
received, is great innovation upon
the orthodox gold payment plan, and
is practically a greenback policy.
AS the Journal remarks, the
Republics party comprises a vast
majority of the intelligent and
honest citizens of the country, and
while il is resolved all debts must
be honestly paid, it is not going to
permanently uphold policy which
eXacts more than either the letter
or the spirit of the contract call for.

The Egg Dance ina India.

A more pleasing and
onetwhich might perhaps better have
been mentioned in connection with
the exploits of the jugglers, is the
'egg dance" This is not, as one
might suspect from the name given
it, dance upon these fragile OBJ
jects. 1t is executed in this wise i:
The dancer, dressed in a corsage
and very short skirt, carries will
low wheel of moderate diameter
fastened horizontally upon the top
of her head. Around this wheel
threads are fastened, equally distant
from each other, and at the end of
each of these threads Is a slip moose,
which is kept open by glass bead.
Thus equipped, the young girl
comes toward the spectators with a
basket full of eggs, which she passes
around for inspection to prove that
they are real, and not limitations.
The music strikes up a jerky, mo-
notOnous strain, and the dancer be-
gins to whirl around with great ra-
paidity. Then, Selling an egg, she
puts it in one of the slip nooses, and
with a quick motion, throws it from
her in such a way as to draw the
knot tight. The swift turning of the
dancer produces centrifugal force
which stretches the thread out
straight like ray shooting from the
circum ference of the circle. One
after another of the eggs are thrown
out in these slip nooses until they
make horizontal aureole or halo
about the dangers head. Then the
dance becomes still more rapid, so
rapid in fact that it is difficult to
distinguish the features of the girl !;
the moment IS critical; the Least
false step, the least irregularity in
time, and the eggs dash against each
other. But how can the dance be
stopped? There is but one way
that is, to remove the eggs in the
way in which they have been put in
place. This operation is by far the
more delicate of the two. 1t is nee
essary that the dancer, by a single
motion, exact and unerring, should
take hold of the egg, aud remove it
from the moose. A single false mo-
ton of the hand, the least interfer-
ence with one of the threads, and
the general arrangement is sudden
ly broken, and the whole perform
ance disastrously ended. At last all
the eggs are successfully removed ;
the dancer suddenly stops, and with
out seeming in the least dizzied by
this dance of twenty-five or thirty
minutes, she advances to the spec
tators with firm step, and presents
them the eggs, which are immedi-
ately broken in fiat dish to prove
that there is no trick about the per-
formance.-Scribner for NoY.

EMPORIA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4. 1876.

Republicans did not conquer our
rebellion quite as cheaply as you
ought to have done; you have not
handled taxation and the public
debt and other consequences
growing out of our treason as
well as you ought to have done.
Therefore we are indignant about
it. You ought to have done this
business better; you ought to
have whipped us at half the eX-
pense, and you did not. We pro-
pose to take the Government out
of your hands and ourselves to
settle with and deal with the con-
sequences of our own crimes and
blunders.' That is the argument
of my friend.'
And this is the party which
now clamor so loudly to be en-
trusted with power in order that
it may accomplish reform.

la speech he made at Utica some

In a speech he made at Utica some
months ago, Mr.. Tilden said:
You are very justly proud that
you are the greatest gold and silver
producing nation in the world.
You boast that on your broad acres
of fertile soils you raise cereals TO
send abroad to take out the supply
necessary to feed the population of
the old world. You send forward
your grain from every part of the
United States. You send meats,
you send wheat and corn and
cheese. You send other products
of the farm. You send vast guam
titles of petroleum and then you
have one crop, the mass of which is
exported, the largest that any ma
ton in the world ever contributes
to the exchanges of mankind-I
mean the cotton crop, which yields
from $200,000,O00 to $280,000, 900 a
year foreign exports, Now what
is the result? When you have sent
forward your gold and silver, your
cheese, your butter, your petroleum,
your wheat and your corn, and
meat and cotton and products of
every kind when you have raked
and scraped this continent from the
Lakes to the Gulf and from the At
lantic to the remote interior, what
have you done? When you have
gathered together all these products,
and paid the cost of carrying them
to the seaboard-a cost larger even
than the original cost of raising the
products-with every exportable
commodity carried to the Atlantic
seaboard and deposited in the ves-
sells of foreigners, you haze paid ten
months Of one gears tGres.
just so, Mr.. Tilden, and why
didn't you add the additional
FACT; that subtracting the money
applied on the National debt (cre-
ated by the Democratic rebellion, }
the expenditures of the National
Government are actually less, per
capita, than they were under Dem
ocratic administration, notwith-
standing the great extension of ter
ritorY governed. 1t is the Demo-
cratic party that has mainly caused
the very taxation that you so
graphically describe, aud would
cause more of the same kind if it
had q good opportu nity.
