THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
What One Revolution Did for Pair Of
Hoosier Patriots,

What One Revolution Did for Pair Of
Hoosier Patriots,
About two years ago two indianapolis
commercial tourists drew portion of the
capital prize of the Louisville Library
Lottery, one acquiring $500 and the
other 5000. The $500 man at once
bought an interest in the grocery house
by which he was employed, at the same
time keeping his former position, his ex-
perience and capital realizing an increase
of $1,000 or 81. 900 per annum. This was
not enough, however, to satisfy his ambi-
tion, and in two or three months he found
it expedient to sell out to his partners, who
gladly paid him 81 800 for his interest. In
six months he reached his bottom dollar
and was in search Of a situation. For q
time he was employed about ticket scalp
ing office, and afterward travelled for three
wholesale houses. never retaining position
longer than q month. Business men eyed
him with something bordering on suspicion
and he could no longer get work. He
found plenty OF time for drinks between
mc0i0 suouBh, ouu a. last, OScJCOmc W
his misfortunes and drink, he determined
to end his mortal career, and a night or
two ago he was trying to buy morphine or
arsenic At several drug stores. Ills efforts
in this direction were unsuccessful, for the
drug clerks heartlessly turned . deaf ear
to his pathetic appeals for an agent to help
him across the river Styx, and his demise
has not yet been announced. 1t is presum-
ed that he has decided TO take the slower
but equally certain path to the other shore.
He has only to shorten the intervals be-
tween drinks to accelerate his speed and
achieve his destiny quicker.
The 5000 man, who was also an en-
ployee of the same firm, took his wind-fsll
and vent to Kansas, where he engaged in
the lumber business. Now he, too, is back
in the city Of concentric circles, "busted"
and looking for job. And 20 the world
moves.-Indianapolis Journal.

NEW SENATORS.

Iowa and Kentucky elected United
States Senators yesterday. In Iowa, the
choice fell upon Hon. San,l J. kirkwood,
of Iowa City, the cold war Governor" oi
G the State, and one of the ablest OF the
many able men that Iowa has given 10 the
nation. lie served short time in the
Senate, some years ago-having been ap,
pointed to fill vacancy-and is now elect
ed for full term, to succeed the Hon.
james G. Wright, who declined a re-elec-
tion.
Mr.. Beck, :he new S,nator from Ken
tucky, to succeed the Hon. John W. Ste
phenson, has also had legislative expert
.ence, having served some years in the lower
house of Congress. He is a man OF some
ability. and is probably as good a man as
the Democrats of Kentucky could have
found among their number.

wished the disturbers of the public peace
to understand that. no,wi,hs. snSing the
spirit exhibited, they were too good patri-
ots ard too sir cere men to alloS that spirit
eith,- 70 control them or 10 serve as an ex
ample for them. They wished to maintain
the hoaor and character of the American
Union, and they would do it ii they were
allowed. One element in the House had
not been heard from in that discus
sio.-the element OF the Southern soldiery
in the late war, OF whom he was one. They
had sat in silence and taken the fire which
the gentleman from Maine had opened up
ON them, with no other feeling than
that of gratitude for having> es-
caped from so terrible an enc
my as he must have been during the
battles of the late war. That element had
not yet spoken, it could not be goaded into
discussion, on the contrary, it had exhib-
tied spirit which he believed the Ameri-
can people would not soon forget. II had
met a stream of hate and persecution, -
the swan meets the billows, with breast
of down. He knew some gentlemen who
had been engaged in the same cause with
him, who had not intended to vote for this
measure before that discussion, but who
now intended to support it, to set an ex-
ample of patriotism. If there were any
of them who still opposed this bill, he ap-
pealed to them to unite with him in doing
an act which could only promote harmony
and advance the interests Of the country,
and the peace and happiness Of the people.
Willis opposed the bill as unconstitutional
and denied that the faith OF the government
was pledged in the matter.
Hewitt of New York. and Chittenden
spoke in favor of the bill. Without taking
action on the bill, the committee rose and
the house soon after adjourned.

FROM TOPEKA.
From our own Correspondent.


TcPEKA, KAN, January l3, 1876.
The House thus far has done nothing ex-
cept endeavor to organize. -Four days have
been spent in this work, and yet an En-
rolling Clerk, Engrossing Clerk, and pages
are to be elected. The Senate like digni-
fed, staid assemblage, went right to work.
The Leavenworth delegation thus far have
voted solid for every winning candidate ex-
cept the Speaker, and their choice for that
position first and last was Henry w. Cook,
of Wyandoite.
Everybody is dissatisfied with the women
who have been seeking Offices; nightly
they remain in the parlor until II and l
O'Clock, and one member said to ME to-day
81 came to Topeka intending to favor wo-
men for all Offices where the labor Is light,
but nv mind is changed, and l regard wo-
men lobbyists, as an intolerable bore, and a
disgrace TO the sex"
The correspondent of the Kansas City
Times stole the Governor's message yester-
day, and it was printed in that sheet OF
yesterday morning. The members are in
indigant. The Commonwealth, however, ''stole
a march" on the Times, by having an extra
laid on the desks containing the message,
before the Times thought of such thing.

DELAWARE TOWNSHIP, January ID.
EDITOR TINES: Hon. Mr.. Learned, OF
Vermont, an extensive traveller and close OBJ
server OF prisons in the United States, having
thoroughly examined twenty-oDe, says that
Kansas has the best conducted prison in
the United States. The officers, from war
den to guards, are gentlemen-attending
strictly to their duty. The prisoners are
clean, well fed and clothed at cheap rates,
and work well ior the State. The Commits
sioners ard Warden have establi-hed such
rules that the prison runs like we'll regula-
ted i,achine, without any instructions or
stealing, and it is source of satisfaction
10 the people of this s;ate that We have n
Governor that will appoint and retain such
men in Office

A STRONG TICKET.

The Confederate Democrats being in
doubt as to the best kind OF Presidential
ticket to bring out next summer, the Chi.
cago Tribune comes TO their assistance, and
suggests the following ticket, which, viewed
from confederate stand point, could not

law, at Spring Hill school house, Delaware
township. About twenty farmers and come
of their wives was present; only one far
mer present was in favor of the proposed
herd law. One or two OF those opposed to
the law, volunteered to help the herd law
man in the discussion, but they utterly fail

Of the negative. G. w. eTARNEs.

Il 'nr that can happen to these men IS de.
feat, year after year, till they are made to
realize the folly Of sucii an empty chase,
and stay at home, where their time is
worth something to themselves and the
community. Leavenworth needs the labor
of all her people, and there is not busi-
ness man, mechanic or laborer, in the city,
who cannot save more money BY staying at
home and quietly attending to his own
business, than by filling the best subordi-
nate Office in the gift Of the Legislature.
We should like to see something done
that would put an end to this disgraceful
scrambling, at every meeting Of the Egis-
lsture, after Insignificant offices that are
no, worth the filling.

And Il Never Has The Ipisoe

1t is claimed, BY recent experiments
made in Brooklyn, that the desideratum Of
suitable steam street car has been attain
ed. The statement is that the generating
of steam is rendered absolutely free from
danger or annoyance; that the engine and
machinery can be applied to any cars now
in use; that the space occupied BY the ma
chinery il only twelve cubic feet that q
force equal to twenty horse power can be
applied, 90 as to clear the track OF snow II
required; that the control of the motion of
the car is more complete and instantaneous
than by horse power, and that by its use a
saving of one thousand FIVE hundred dol
lars per year can be effected over the ex-
pense incident to horse power. The ex-
pense of the machinery and all its attach
ments is stated at seven hundred and fifty
dollan to each car. These are pretty broad
claims to make, but po~sibly they may be
true

GOOD.

We clip this item fron- the 81. Louis Jour
nal, and are glad to learn that at least one
member of very large class OF very mean
thieves, is in fair way to get his deserts:
1t is nothing unusual for subscribers TO
have their papers stolen after having them
safely deposited under the door BY the car
rier. Mr.. A. w. Anderson, having sub
scribed for one of the morning papers, and
failed to receive it regularly, came TO the
conclusion that some one was stealing it,
and this morning concluded to be on the
lookout. He detected man named H.
Voss abstracting it from its usual place OF
deposit, and proceeded Immediately to the
Court Of Criminal Correction, and swore
out warrant against him charging him
with petit larceny. He was arrested, and
at this writing had not gave bail and in all
probability will have to 60 to Jail.

The CoHeyville Journal says: Facili-
ties for the raising of stock in Montgomery

The fine herds of the different kinds of

that Southern Kansas and this part OF 1t
especially, is unsurpassed in this respect.
Hon. John s. Hopkins, Senator elect
from jackson and POttawatomie counties,
has come out in card denying his purpose
10 labor for a general herd law against the
will of his constituents, and takes occasion
to make the following statement:
..In my OPTION we want more cows, butter and
cheese; more sheep and wool, hogs, chickens and
eggs more cultivated land tame grasses and grains
more men, and fewer rowing steers, TO make the
county prosperous.
A writer in the Oswego Indepesdent,
referring to the herd law, says: For one, l
decidedly oppose it. 1t has done more to
keep our country undeveloped and poor
than even the land question. 1t has pre-
vented men, who are possessed OF ample
means, from settling here. L have seen
many farmers and stock men, looking for
locations, and when invited to stop here,
the answer would invariably be, "You
naye a herd law, and | want TO stop where
| can handle stock TO an advantage" 1t
has left untouched, here in Labette county,
thousands OF acres of grass that, had We
had no herd law, would have been utilized,
turned into meat, then into money. The
population is not too dense, nor the land
too valua bic, here, for stock-raising. 1t
has kept back the thrifty and energetic
farmer, TO aid the shiftless and indolent.
1t has given us a class Of settlers whose
lack of energy and improvement has be-
come almost proyerbial, and until the herd
law is repealed that class will be upheld,
to the detriment of all progress and I'M
provement.

CUBAN MATTERS.
WASHINGTON, January 17.-Secretary
Fish was to-day before the House commit
tee on foreign affairs by invitation; and in the
general terms informed the committee OF the
present condition of the Cuban question.
He did not specifically state the terms Of
the circular recently addressed 10 foreign
nations on that subject, but intimated that
it merely asked their moral support in
event Of meditation or intervention by
the United States. Abiding to the recent
Madrid telegraph, giving an outline OF
Spai4's reply TO the American circular, he
said, he did not regard its tone
as unfriendiy as to negotiations now
in progress; they were conducted in a CON
ciiiatory spirit on both sides, and certainly
without threats On the part of the United
States, and he hoped that the negotiations
would terminate satisfactorily. He was
willing that the correspondence should he
laid before the House, and this would he
done, should that body call for it.
Subsequently,, a resolution was passed
calling Tor the correspondence, which will
soon be communicated by the President to
the House.
