little man, wearing a So. .50suit of clothes,
went to one of the big hotels, and regis
tcring his name as from Texas, asked for
a room, and if break fast was on the table.
The Olympian clerk gazed at him
scornfully for moment, and languidly
remarked:
ANY baggage ?"

"In that case, replied the clerk, "the
rules of the house compel me to insist on
payment in advance"
d" Very well" said the guest, without
hesitation or appearing offended, " take
two days board out of this" and from a
wa! OF grcenbacks as big as his arm lie
produced 500 note.

abashed clerk, "but we are so often taken

guest Cuisines is business, and rules

"Thats all right" said the clerk.
"Putup your money, we know a gentle,

ROBINS HAIN-sONG.

y Robin, pipo no more Of rain
TT, four days since We saw the sun,
Aud still the misty window pane
Is loud with drops that leap and run.
Four days ago the sky was clear,
But when my mother heard you call,
She said, "Thats R,bins rain-song, dear!
Oh, well he knows when rain will fall !"
Fair was the morning, and wcpt
Because she would not let me stray
Into the woods for flowers but kept
My feet from wandering away,
And was vexed to hear you cry
SO swcetly OF the coming storm,
And watched with brimming eyes the sky
Grow cold and dim from clear and warm:
II seemed to mo you brought 1t all
with that inceSsant, plaintiye note;
And still you call the drops to fall
Upon your brown and scarlet coat.
How nice to he bird like you,
And let the rain come altering down,
Nor mind bit to be wet through,
Nor fear 10 spoil ones only Bown'
But since cannot be a bird,
Sweet Robin, pipe no more Of rain
Your merrer music Is preferred
Forget at last that sad refrSin
And tell us Of the sunshine, dear
m wild to be abroad again,
Seeking for blossoms far and near
o Robin pipe no more of rain

President Vanderbilt, of the New York
Central and Hudson river railroad, has is
sued a circular stating that of the twelve
thousand employees of the company less than
Eve hundred struck, and that no injury was
done to property. In recognition of their
fealty he directs that one hundred thousand
dollars be divided ratably, according to their
positions on the payroll, among all tho EN-.
ployes engaged in operating the road. He
says no men who, in time OF trial, embsrrass
the company can remain in or re'enter its
service, and adds that the pay will be in
creased the moment that business justifies it.

We are glad to learn, as we do through

features of New England show encouraging
signs of gradual revival OF business, per
ceptible, if small. FOrty.nine mills, which
turn out about one.third Of the northern
product, worked up, during the first six
months of the present year, eighty-nine ni
lion two hundred and ninetycight thousand
nine hundred and torty.two pounds of cotton
as compared with eighty-six million seven
hundred and thirty thousand eight hund ed
aud five pounds last year during the CORE
spending period. The increase is about
three per cent, but as the quality of cottor
this year was somewhat better than that o
the fabric worked up last season, the increase
| in the actual amount of manufactured goods
is about five per cent. All the goods have
been readily marketed, there being no con
| siderable accumulation on hand, while ther,
is a perceptible improvement of the demand
With prices at the present figures, it is ex
pected that all the New England mills viii
be kept running at their highest capacit!

lawyer he had remarkable success.
The firm built up business second
to none in the State. During his
practice he served one term as coun-
tY attorney. At the earnest selici-
tstion Of the directors of the Empo-
ria National bank, he relinquished
the law in the fall of 1872, and be-
came president of that Institution
He was and is largely interested in
the cattle business aud in farming.
Last fall he put in Six hundred
acres OF wheat. He held the posi-
ton Of president Of the bank at the
time of his election to the Senate on
tho 31st day of January, 1877.
In this brief sketch of the career
of the New Kansas Senator, we
cauld bat touch upon few points.
In a quiet way at home he has been
more active than in public matters
He has literally aided religious
and other enterprises, been promi-
nent in our railroad affairs, and in
every thing that concerns our we'll
fare. For several years he refused
all inducements to enter the politi-
cal field, preferring to devote his
time to preparing his mind and his
fortune for the field which he had
marked out. At the close Of the
war he was poor, and then deliber-
stely set about making money. In
this, as in everything else, he has
succeeded. While doing this he
has not neglected the improvement
of his mental faculties. Amidst
his active business engagements he
has been an Industrious student.
He has the fac ulty of graspiug ev-
cry subject he undertakes to study
in q remarkably brief time. Few
men have climbed at one stride
from his position to the Senate. He
goes there prepared 10 devote his
entire time to the business of the
body. He has the ability and
means to sustain himself creditably,
aud will do SO. His election was
obtained most honorably, and to-
day NO Kansan-ne is peculiarly
the product of Kansas-occupies q
more honorable position before the
the world. We are glad of his his
tory and his success.
