CHEAPLANDS.

Notwithstanding the county has been
settled for many years and contains q
population of over 1000, large bodies of
unimproved lands are yet for sale. These
lands belong to the L. L. & q. and NJ.
K. & T. railroad companies, and are
offered for sale cheaper than such lands
can be bought any where in the United
States where equal advantages exist.
Land capable of producing twenty to
twenty-five bushels of wheat or so to IS
bushels of corn per acre is sold at $500
per acre for cash. or $4.00 on time. Al
most any year, after being reduced to
cultivation, single crop will pay the
entire cost of the land.
During last season many parties in
this county with less than half their
land in cultivation raised corn enough
when sold at Csc. bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking for new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considering the fact that
these lands are surrounded by old set.
Elements, and are convenient to railroads,
towns, mills, school houses, churches and
all the appliances of civilization. Land
at pioneer prices, without any of the
privations of pioneer life.
These lands are sold by Messrs. Scorr
& BoWLUs. local agents.

epithets in denouncing Samuel J. Tilden,
but now it demands T,lden or war.

BUl a.DlNG, FENCING
AND FUEL.

One Of the special advantages which
this county POSSESSES over the treeIess
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half mile or
more, an the quality is excellent, fur
nishing reasonable supply for all prac.
ticai purposes, As is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion oi
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devei-
"pcd rs The wants Of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet SO disposed as to interfere bat
little with tie cultivation OF the suil.

PRODUCTS.

As elsewhere stated this county is well
suited tn all the productions of this
latitude, but is especially adapted to the
growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad-
mirably, and particularly the last. The
inexLaustable supply of native grasses
both for pasturing and for hay-offers to
the stock raiser most inviting field, and
makes this one of the most certain and
remunerative branches of husbandry
that any one can engage in.

RAILROADS AND MAR.
KETS.

The Lenvenworth, Lawrence & Gal.
weston railroad traverses the county
from north to south. passing through the
towns of lola and Humboldt, and affords
direct connection with Lawrence and
Leavenworth in Kansas and Kansas City
in Missouri. This last is one of the best
markets in the country and is but six
hours from lola, the county seat.
The M. X. & T. passes through the
8. w. corner of the county, touching at
Humboldt, and affords an outlet to the
mining regions of the west, and south to
Texas and the Gulf.

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
OF Elm Greek and the Neosho River,
and on the L. L. & G. railroad. The
Neosho at this point only needs to be
improved to furnish good water power
for mills and manufactures. Good pure
water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. It has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres
byterian. and an excellent school build.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON.

Alexander Hamilton was, next to Frank.
lin, the most consummate statesman
among the band of eminent men who had
been active in the Revolution, and who
afterward labored to convert loose con-
federation of States into national gov
eminent. His mind was as plastic as 1t
was vigorous and profound. 1t was the
appropriate intellectual expression OF
poised nature whose power was rarely oo-
trusiye, because it was half concealed by
the harmonious adjustment OF its various
faculties. 1t was a mind deep enough to
grasp principles. and broad enough TO re-
gard relations, and fertile enough to de-
wise measures. Indeed, the most practi-
cal of our early statesman was almost the
most inventive. He was as ready with
new expedients 10 meet unexpected emer-
gencies as he was wise in subordinating
all expedients TO clearly defined princi-
pies. In intellect he was probably the
most creative OF our early statesmen, as
in sentiment Jefferson was the most wide
" influential And Hamilton was so bent
on practical ends that he was Indifferent
to the reputation which might have re-
suited from parade OF originality in the
means he devised for their accomplish
ment. There never was statesman less
egotistic, less DESTROYS of labelling poll
6 as "my" policy; and one of the sources
Of his influence was the subtle way in
which he insinuated into other minds ideas
which they appeared to originate. His
moderation, his self-command, the ex-
quisite courtesy of his manners, the per-
suasiveness OF his ordinary speech, the
fascination of his extraordinary speeches.
and the mingled dignity and ease with
which he met men of all degrees of intel
lect and character, resulted in making his
political partisans look up to him as al
most an object of political alteration. 1t
is difficult TO say what this accomplished
man might have done as a leader OF the
Federal opposition to the Democratic Ad-
ministrations of jefferson and Madison.
had he not, in the maturity Of his years
and in the full vigor Of his faculties. been
murdered by Aaron Burr. Nothing can
better illustrate the folly of the practice of
duelling than the fact that, by weak
compliance with its maxims, she most en-
inent Of American statesmen died at the
hands of the most Infamous of American
demagogues.-Harper's Magazine for
February.
