employment for hands, do not 90 away

to perform it for you, when the same Ia
Dor can be performed as well and as cheap

town by honest means, and discourage,
everything that tends to drive away lobor
or capital, and we will soon have an era
Of prosperity that will astonish the oldest

The waters have gone oyer me. But
out Of the black depths could be heard,
| would cry out to all those who have but
set foot in the perilous flood. Could the
youth, to whom the flavor of his fret
wine is delicious as the opening scenes Of
life. or the entering upon some newly dis
covered paradise, look into my desOlation,
and be made to understand what dreary
thing il is when a man shall feel himself
going down a precipice with open eyes
and passive will; to see his destruction
and have no power to stop it, and yet to
feel it all the way emanating from him
se'f; to perceive all goodness empIied out
Of aim, and yet not be able to forget a
time when it was otherwise, to bear about
the piteous spectacle Of his own seli-ruin:
could he see my ievere eye, feverished
with last nights drinking, and fevsrishly
looking forward for this nights repetition
Of the Jolly; conld he feel the death, out
OF which cry hourly with ieebler outcTy
to be delivered, il were enough 10 make
him dash the sParklin; beverage 10 the
earth in all the pride Of its mantling

Letter From Kansas.
SEDGwIcK CRY, HARVEY Co.

Editor Herald:
Thinking perhaps few lines from Kan.
sas would interest SEINE Of the many
readers Of your valuable paper, so have
concluded to send you q few items con-
corning the rapid progress of Harvey
county.
In size. Harvey county is one Of the
smallest counties in the State, being
eighteen miles north and south, by thir-
ty east and west, and containing $40
square miles aggregsting 345, 900 acres of
as fine farming land as there is anywhere
II lies within strip Of country extend,
ing from north to south which without
exaggeration can be and is termed the
gsrden-spot Of the State. The general
surface of the country is rolling prairie,
with rich, dark, sandy loan, yielding
in profusion crops Of all kinds.
The county is well wstered by numer-
GUS streams. Which are flowing con-
stantly with pure water. There are also
several fine springs of water, and wells
are generally supplied at the depth not
greater than thirty-five feet The prair,
les rise gradually from these water
courses, stretching far in gentle undula-
tons for miles away.
The population Of Harvey county in
1871 was 1000 in 1875 $500; in 1876
6,744. Increase in five years 4,744
There are in round numbers S45. 600 acres
OF land in the county, all of which has
been entered as homesteads or else given
the railroad company in pursuance with
their land grant and is now paying taxes.
There are also II 1853 acres IN the coun-
ty under actual cultivation. The total
taxable valuation of all property in the
county is 81, 672, 020.33, and the actual
cash value is about one third more. or
the 77,S28 acres under cultivation this
year, we have the following number Of
acres producing winter wheat SO, 1874
against % ,03S in 1876, aud Q. 966 in 1875;
acres of corn 81 1851 against 1906 last
year. Oats 1864. 800 Of rye, sos Of
spring wheat, 2.457 of barley, making a
grand total Of these six cereals Of II .O55
acres. Everything thrives here which
can be grown in this latitude. Corn on
the sod from 20 to 40 bushels per acre.
on old ground 40 to 80 bushels. Wheat
succeeds exceedingly well and is the
coming crop Some Of our farmers have
sown from 800 to 500 acres. The county
10 unsurpassed for its magnificent pastur-
age, cattle and horses fatten very rapidly
in the spring, showing that the grass top
is particularly nutritious.
In conclusion will say to persons who
think Of moving to a new country, it will
undoubtedly be to your interest to visit
the great Arkansas valley and see for
yourselves whether or not il have ex-
aggerated its merits Very Respcfy,

Hard ON Hayes.

We clip the following from the Evans
Vile Daily Courier, of July 18th, 1877:
The evidence accumulates that Hayes,
the nasty hypocrite, was actively engaged
in promoting the work OF the gang OF
conspirators who counted him in. lie is
one of the snivelling kind Of Pharisees
who protest over much Righteousness in
public and play the sneak thiefin private.
We all remember how he caused it to be
published to the world that he would
rather be counted out by fraud than be
counted in by fraud" Yet at the very
time he was in correspondence with
Sherman. Matthews and the other visit
ing abettors Of the Returning Board at
New Orleans. 1t has recently transpired
that while the Electoral Commission was
m the midst Of its labors to defraud the
people, Hayes borrowed S25 200, giving
his note for that sum, payable one year
after date. 1t is not known what was
done with the money. 1t is certain that
he did not use 1t in any legitimate business
Investment Was it given to Bradley ?
Who was bribed with it1 The Teledo
correspondent of the New York Sun gives
the following account Of the matter over
his own signature:
TOLEDO, July l4.-During the discuss
- r. The oh IL Ha uaal pn0nav
for election purposes last year, the fact
leaked out here that while the Electoral
count was going on Hayes borrowed S25,.
900 of one of his friends at Columbus,
and gave as security a mortgage upon
real estate which he owns in this county.
This fact has been known by a limited
few of his friends here, who endeavored
to keep it secret; but it somehow leaked
out and is exciting good deal of discus
sion.

OF course man who would receive
stolen goods is not two good to bride men
out Of the way who had it in their power
to prevent him from enjoying the stolen
office OF President The question is: who
was bribed with this twenty-five thousand
dollars2 The fact that his note is made
payable one year from date, suggests the
suspicion that the money was borrowed
for some purpose connected with the
Presidency; that he felt assured that it
would be the means of enabling him to
secure the Presidency, the first years sal
airy of which would suffice to take up the
note at maturity without inconveniencing
him in the least. The nasty byPocrite
will be exposed yet if truth triumphs.

what Country Papers Do.

An exchange combats with consiaera-
bic vigor the argument that the city
papers are cheaper and better than the
country papers, because they give more
columns Of reading matter for the money.
Do the city papers, it asks, ever give you
any home news2 Do they say anything
in regard to your countyP Nothing. Do
they contain notices of your schools.
churches meetings, improvements and
hundreds OF other local matters Of inter-
est, which your paper publishes without
payl Not an item. Do they ever say a
word calculated to draw your attention
to your county and its numerous thriving
towns, and aid in their progress and en-
terprise2 Not q word. And yet there
are men with such contracted views OF
this matter. that unless they are getting
as many square inches of reading matter
in their own as they do in city paper,
they think they are not getting the worth
OF their money. 1t reminds us Of the
person who took the largest pair OF boots
in the box. simply because they cost the
same as a pair much smaller that fitted
him. Exchange.

Romance I'm the Life OF President
Hayes.

IL is generally known that there is in
the past OF the man who has been eleva-
ted TO the occupancy Of the wbite-house
by the most remarkable election ever held
in the United States, a bit OF tender ro-
nance, in which his name was linked
with that Of one Of his opponents Of '76.
During Hayes youth, in one Of the
beautiful shady villages that abound on
the banks of the Ohio, Ia Belle REVERE,
he wooed and almost won dreamy-eyed
brunette. Evening after evening. all the
summer long, the twain was seen walking
in the cool as the shadows drew long
over the placid Understanding in low
and lover>like tones or gazing from star
lit skies TO star-lit eyes. The long even
ings Of autumn drew on apace, and with
the falling leaves came the merry-mak-
ings OF the young people. After the
harvest a stranger had come. From the
hour Of introduction he seemed drawn to-
ward Hayes chere annie. Nor dill his ad-
miration meet with coldness. In the
dance and in the promenade, the stranger
and she were oltimes together, while poor
Hayes adorned the wall. Wiseacres
shook their heads and pitied him. He
was too keen not to appreciate the fact
that lovers justice was denied him;
and so, as usual, warm remonstrauces
were followed by quarrel that drove
him to turn sadly away from his youths
bright dream. The stranger triumphed
and soon bore away the maiden, now his
wife, to his somewhat distant home.
The whirligig Of time rolled around
and brought poetic justice; again are
Hayes and the stranger srrsyed in con-
test deeper and fiercer; great actors in
the terrific drama of '76, with The eyes Of
the world upon them, their names upon
every lip even in the caies Of gidly Paris.
l, and others, have often wondered il in
that hour Of strife Hayes and Hendricks
did not remember wildly their early RI
valry, and if it did not give zest to the
triumphs OF the one while, perhaps. 1t
gave consolation to the other.-Troit-
Deux.
