| Mr.. Doane brings us copy of the
Emporia News, published at Emporia,
Kansas, dated January Goth. 1t gives
an account of furious blizzard on the
18th Of January. 1t says: 1.-THE most
furious and violent snow and wind
storm witnessed since the period Of the
first settlement of this region prevailed.
The wind blew a perfect hurricane, and
the flying snow filled the air, so that on
the prairie, the sight was completely OBJ
structed ut a distance of 100 feet. -
Trains were of course showed up, and
the paper says: 1.-The storm ragged
with furiousness and wildness never
witnessed before. It seemed ut times
as though the cars would be blown fro n
the track" This reminds us of the
great blizzard which struck Kansas, on
the 18th of April, 1873, and which
caught men at the plow and froze them
to death before they could reach their
homes. Don't want any such treacher-
GUS climate in ours.
! Our friend J. E. Bateman, of Hersey
| brings us a roll of butter and says if
Mrs. ADVANCE can do better than that
he wants her to come out and teach his
wife the knack of making butter. Mrs.
BIS butter is hard to beat. Anybody
beating that roll would have to get up
early in the morning. But Mrs. AD-
VANCE, before she left the farm and
was burdened with the cares of large
family, could beat any girl inlthe county.

Chas. Saxson, of Indian Lake, in
forms us that recently he took up a
quantity of earth which he put into a
pan and placed under the stove. In H.
bout two days time, he examined the
earth, and found that the grasshopper
cells were badly eaten by small white
worm with black head. He also found
a number of the little red parasites
busy eating the eggs. There were few
whole cells left in the pan. One thing
is certain, the parasites and grubs
never were so numerous as they have
been since the last raid, and we wish
them three meals a day and plenty of
lunches between times.

BEECHER.


Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is now in
tile West on occurring tour aud will be
in st. Paul by the oath inst. He will
lecture on the 9th, preach on the 25th
and lecture again on the 9th. lie is
being received wherever he goes with a
perfect ovation. At Cleveland hundreds
were turned away unable to gain adj
mission. At Chicago every seat was
sold in advance and ten dollars were
offered for reserved seats.
This will prove to be the most pOpu.
lar lecturing tour of his life. Thous-
ands will go to hear him who wish to
express their confidence in the limo
cence of the man, and say to the world
that no combination of black mailing
and slandering worldlings, however
rich or powerful they may be among
their own impure fellows, Can destroy
the influence or the good name of a man
like Beecher. If it were not for the
petty jealousy Of his own brother min.
listers, and their determination to keep
up the stencil which the infamous Til
ton raised, Beecher would at once
bound up higher than ever in the esti
nation of the great public.

Brigands I'm Sicily.

The outrages in Italy still continue, and
as yet but little improvement is visible.
Peaceable citizens are carried off to the
robbers caves, kept there for weeks, and
only when their friends have paid heavy
ransom for them are they sent back, often
in an alarming condition of bodily and
and mental health. One of these cases
occurred recently. A young man named
Tasca, driving in small carriage ON q
country road, was met by five brigands
and ordered to leave the carriage. They
took him prisoner and conveyed him to q
secret cavern where Re remained hidden
away three weeks. When at last he was
restored to his friends he was in such q
condition of mind and body as to be un-
able to respond to the interrogations of
the Magistrate. Another story is related
of shopkeeper in town of Sicily who,
with his son, was opening his store early
in the morning. The brigands surrounded
him on the pavement and tried to carry
him of, but he, being q very fleshy
man, threw himself fiat on the ground and
thus, thanks to his corpulence, was saved
from very unpleasant experience.
Not long since, the English residents in
Sicily presented q remembrance 10 their
Government upon this subject. They
said that business of all kinds was inter.
rupted, and that their interests were in.
jured, and they asked the Minister of For
eign Affairs to demonstrate with the Ital.
ian Government ON the existence of
brigandage. This petition has excited q
feeling of bitterness among the Italians,
who say that they are already doing all in
their power to subdue the evil, and that il
Is naturally more inimical 10 their interests
than to those Of the English residents on
the island.
The latest measure adopted was the ap-
pointment Of . new project, buthis arrival
was greeted BY an extraordinary imperti.
nence from Leone, the robber chief. and
the most famous of all living brieands.
The new project found upon his study

furious gestures, danced around and made
every effort to attract Kings attention to
him and keep it there.
White boy very brave-won't hurt
white boy-like to talk to brave white
boy :" he called out, as he danced around.
Meanwhile the rest of the band were
sneaking up from the other direction, cal.
culating on shooting King in the back as
he watched the single Indian. He sus.
pected the trick, saw them corning, and,
drawing fair bead on tie "talker," he
dropped the fellow as dead as crow. bar.
Those skulking up numbered four, being
all the Indians left alive and unwounded
out of the nine first sighted. They did
not rush, as the boy expected. On the
contrary, they hurriedly retreated, and
little time was lost by them in getting out
of the neighborhood. The boy waited
till three O'Clock in the afternoon before
leaving his retreat, and then, his clothing
stiff with blood, he pursued his journey,
reaching his brothers camp about dark in
safety. The men would not credit his
story, though his three wounds we're plain
proof of a bloody contest. The next day
q band of a dozen went over to the scene
of the fight, and when they had taken a
survey they could no longer doubt the
boys story. They found trails of blood
everywhere around his position, and trails
in the snow where the dead Indians had
been dragged along, and the defense was
voted one of the bravest ever made against
the savages. A boy without sign of beard
and looked upon as hardly fit to carry 8
pistol around, had wounded or destroyed
five out of nine redskins who had antici.
pated securing his scalp without firing
more than one shot. It wasn't enough
for the miners to pat the boy ON the back
and give him all due praise, but to further
honor and distinguish him they called
him The Man from Michigan" There
are other men from Michigan there, bu
young King has the sole honor of being
the man, and of being looked upon as the
representative of the Wolverine State
Detroit Free Press.

MY DARLING-I have been looking for q

gentle reminder that you must keep striv-

pleasant and sweet, dear son, when you
really earnestly try to be, that don't de-
sire any better boy than you can be. And
then you know, dear pet, that your being
good does not help yourself alone, and
comfort me and win every ones love for
you; but it does another very great thing
it helps dear little jamie. Whether you
can see it or not, it will surely help him
to conquer his own faults and emulate
your virtues. A good example always
has its effect-never fails to have it. That
is law of human nature; just as we can.

Don't lecture" little jamie, or speak to
him of his faults. Don't do this; it is q
wrong, unwise habit you must try to over
come. 1t is not the true way to help him
he repels it instinctively. 1t is only from
our parents that we are ever willing tU
bear this kind of teaching; and it is only
from parents or those who stand to us il

own strong, sincere efforts to do your very
best, and by your kindness to him (kind
ness which neither cares for or expects

le compliments of Leone, the

with the compliments Of Leone, the
Brigand."
The majority of these brigands are from
eighteen to twenty-four years of age, and
they frequently end their lives in prison
or by violent death. Many of them,
however, learn the bitterness of that way
of life and become honest men from the
revulsion of feeling.
The knife is the inseparable companion
OF the brigand, and he knows both how to
give and to receive its thrusts with the ut
most GOODNESS. When two OF them quarrel
the challenge to fight is something like
this: Friend, are you busy?" mo"
II would like word with you; yes, even
two" Are you armedr" Yes"
"Will you come ?" "Let us CO." And
they resort to some uninhabited spot to
fight. If one is injured the other immedi.
ately becomes his physician and attends to
his wound. The injured brigand never
betrays the name of his enemy, and often
in the hospitals of Palermo young men
die without word, the heroes Of their
code of honor.
When q new man is added to their
company, the brigands make trial of his
courage to determine whether he is
worthy to be one of them. The Sicilian
ma6oso wears q jacket and pantaloons of
velvet, q cap or hat a little crooked, the
hair curled on the temples, and his lam
guage is sharp and concise. He is armed
with guns and pistols of the best manu-
facture, and carries great quantity of
ammunition, as well as an excellent field
glass, with which to examine his enemies
at distance.
But, however daring and well-organized
may be the malta, it could not flourish as
it does without the secret aid of the pe0-
pie who inhabit the country. These
persons, living in houses scattered along
the road, conceal the malefacters when
there is occasion to do 80, and furnish
them with food and clothing. Without
courage to he real brigands, they accept
the brigands' money, and are more mimi
cal to the public peace than the outlaws
are. Many large proprietors also are in
timidated into giving aid to the brigands
when they demand it.-Rome Cor. N. Y.
