a REQUtot.
Midst wind and rain we met,
In calmest moonlight parted;
Our greeting, it WAS sweet;
Our good-by, broken hearted.
You said your faith in me
Should last through stormy weather;'
Yet, when the first breeze blew,
Itparted us forever
I've learned how fral1 thing
Is boys love, at the best
And you. Ah, we'll! you scorn
4 woman's ''hckle breast"
Where once was love Is hate;
Dead il I'LL friendly feeling.
Is the wound then so detp
That Time can bring no healing!

stretch my hand to you,-
Will you not come half way?

the Presidency by either of the great

all manner of fault with his public rec

as the representative of a reform move

accusation of having been connected
with gigantic swindle in the manage

decision of the courts. He is also accused
of having been co-partner with Tweed
and others in fraudulently controlling
the elections in New York, the proof of
which is that as the Tammany chairman
of the State committee q circular was

The Best Evidence.

The following letter from the Rev. E. S. Best,
Pastor Of the NJ. l.. Church, Natick, Mass, will
be read with interest by many physicians; also
those suffering from the same disease rs aflicted
the son of the Rev. Z. s. Best No person can
doubt this testimony, as there is no doubt about
the curative power of VEGETlNE.
NATICK, Mass. Jan l, 1873.
Mr.. II. x. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your NEGETINE medicine Of the greatest VAL
ne. We feel assured that it has been the means
of saving our sons life. He is now seventeen
years of age; for the last two years he has suffered
from necrosis Of his leg, caused by scrOfuOus
affection, and was SO far reduced thst nearly all
who saw him thought his recovery impossible.
A council of able physicians could give us but the
faintest hope of his ever rallying; two Of the
number declaring that he was beyond the reach
of human remedies, that even amputatiOn could
not save him rs he had not vigor enough to en-
dure the operation. Just then we commenced
giving him vEGETINE and from that time TO
the present he has been continuously improving.
He has lately resumed studies, thrown away his
crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfuliy
and strong.
Though there Is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
ETINE, but lately uses but little, as he declares
he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
Z. s. BEST.
Mrs. L. C.. +. BEST.

D. c. HASKELL.

The Republican nominee for Congress
in tho I'd district, D. c. Haskell, was
present at the court house last Monday
evening at the organization of Hayes
and Wheeler club and opened the cam
paign in this county with good sound
Republican speech. We were not sure
that Mr.. Haskell could be present at the
organization of the club so as to make
an announcement for him, but he had a
good audience nevertheless. His speech
was a plain, straightforward, pointed
discussion of the real issues involved in
the present campaign, we'll calculated to
create enthusiasm among the Republic
cans and interest them in the success of
their ticket. If therewereany ReT ubli-
cans who heard Mr.. Haskell last Monday
evening that had entertained doubt as
to his being able to meet his opponent in
joint discussion, such doubts were dis
PEELED. Of course Democrats we're not
pleased with the speech, and we are glad
of it. 1t would be poor recommends
ton indeed for Republican candidate
to have Democrats endorse his speeches.
In this district the Democrats have no
hope of electing Congressman except
by Republican votes, and when they
hear speech such as Mr.. Haskell makes
that is calculated to draw the party
lines by presenting the real issues at
stake and showing why this government
should not be turned over to the Demo-
cratic party, it is to be expected that
they will be energetic in the denuncia-
ton of the speaker.
When the State central committee
meet at Topeka next Tuesday they will
get up a programme for the campaign in
district and Mr.. Haskell will doubtless
make two or three speeches in Allen
county and every Republican in the
county should hear him, and if possible
make his acquaintance. He makes
friends wherever he goes. and by the
time the campaign is over the number of
Republicans who are found favoring the
election of John R. Goodin will be few
indeed.

Z. G. ROSS.

Ex-senator Ross is now editing a
Democratic, Greenback Reform journal
at Lawrence, and in late article in his
paper under the heading of ''the Repub.
lican leaders responsible for Southern
outrages," he says:
1t is not little singular that almost
the only race disturbances, and the
shoOtings of cOlored men, that have
occurred in the Southern states since the
close of the war, have been in states, for
the time being, under the control of the
Administration through Republican gov
errors and Republican Federal appoin-
tees. Nor is it less singular that as the
Southern states passed one by one, from
under the control of the Republican
party, those outbreaks became not only
less frequent, but ceased altogether, and
the condition of society in those states
has become even more tranquil than at
any time before the rebellion, and allow
ing for the turbulent element that al
ways exists in society where slavery has
a foothold, quite a. tranquil as in the
states of the North.
Mr.. Griffin of the Manhattan National
ist, Southern man, makes a scathing
reply to Mr.. Ross in which he says:
You were a member of the u. S. Sem
ate all through the reconstruction period,
and voted for both the reconstruction
acts. You professed to be one of the
most radical of the Republican members
of Congress, and voted on that line to
the day when your vote continued John
son, the usuper in power. And even
after that you continued to call yourself
a Republican, had personal quarrel
with President Grant because he did not
have full faith in your professions, and,
at the expiration of your term, sought
for reelection at the hands of the Re-
publican party. Failing in that attempt
you Greeleyized and are now a full
hedged Democrat. n
\ Now, Mr.. Ross, I have no
hesitation in saying that it is absolutely
impossible for any man, with an intellect
above that of an idiot, to have occupied
your position for the last ten years and
not kno,o that your charges are false
false in letter and false in spirit.
MIR. Swayze, editor of the Topeka Blade
who had an experience of thirteen years
in the South, comments upon Mr.. Ross
article and Mr.. Griffin's reply and says
We desire to add our testimony to the
imbecility Of the proposition advanced
by Ross. He thinks it singular" that
as state by state passes from the control
Of loyal men to that of rebels the out.
breaks become less frequent. How, in
Gods name could it be otherwise? Men
do not usually offer themselves as will
ling sacrifices for nothing. When the
Southern States were under the control
of the Republican party, the rebels were
resorting to murder, arson and riot to
regain control of these governments. IfI
they did not regain them by such means,
how is it that they now have possession
of themf When they had killed off or
scared off Republicans, 20 that they had
no material opposition, it certainly is
quite logical that further outbyeaks were
unnecessary.

CONTRARY to the expectations of the
greenback party in the State the Demo
Gratis failed to endorse their State ticket
entire. They set aside the greenback
nominee for Governor, and put in his
place Democratic lawyer of Topeka
they also chopped the heads off of three
others on the greenback ticket and filled
their places with Democrats, and it is

Bs;z EsiNG. FENCING
AND EIJEL.

One of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half a mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishins reasonable supply for all prac-
teal purposes, rs is shown by the fact
that tile price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds 50. so per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt he devel-
opel AS the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local.
itics, yet so disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.
