Baker on the death of little Fannie:

Baker on the death of little Fannie:
oh gently weep, fond parents,
For thy darling, gone TO rest;
Her form is closely folded
To the loving Sayior's breast.
Cali not back the ransomed spirit
That is waited TO the skies,
II will he To thee treasure
Laid away In Paradise
And when earthly cares and sorrows
Cluster round Thy path in life.
Then Thy Fanne's angel presence
Shall allay the spirits strife,
And shall guide and lead thee onward
From the toilsome paths below,
To the mansions of the blessed
Where the purer waters flow.

THE INDEMNITY LANDS.

Hon. J. L. Arnold handed us the fol-
lowing letter from Senator Plumb, in
regard to what are known as the :.in-
demnity lands" which we publish for
the benefit of those interested:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, March q, 1877.
Hon. ]. l.. ARNOLD, lola, Kansas:
Dear Sir: have to-day been informed
at the Department of the Interior that
the lists of the L., L. & G. Railway in
demnity lands, declared forfeited by an
act of Congress will be made out in about
ten days, and certified to the local land
offices within the district in which the
lands are situated. Thirty days notice
will be given of the restoration of these
lands to homestead entry, after which
they will be subject to such entry in the
usual way. No reservation having been
made in the act of Congress in favor of
persons now occupying said lands, it will
be necessary that the occupants be on
hand promptly at the expiration of the
thirty days, prepared to make entry.
Won't you see that those you can reach
understand this necessity? The thirty
days notice will be published in some
newspaper, and perhaps in more than
one, in your vicinity.
Respectfully, yours,
P. B. PLUMB.

ALFALFA.-We think that our far
mers will find it to their advantage to
try alfalfa little this spring. A grass
that endures the long droughts of the
summers of California and Nevada,
should certainly succeed as well here.
A Nevada correspondent of Colman's Ra
raj World writes as follows concerning
this plant:
There has been a good quantity of al
falfa sown here in the last few years, and
it does splendidly, making two or three
crops of hay in one season. Last season
/ commenced cutting it on the 18th of
June, and cut three crops. After the
first cutting, it will make a crop in
thirty five or forty days, if the ground is
in good growing order. l commence
cutting before it shows many blossoms.
If it stands longer, the stock becomes
hard and woody, and stock do not eat it
up so clean, especially cows. Horses
like the stalks better than the leaves. /
have used it now for four years, and
think horses will do better on it without
grain than they will on timothy or blue
Joint hay.

generally a considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of

cough is sometimes an attendant. TIE
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
biiity; he is easily startled, his feet arc
cold or burning, and he complains OF a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above

KANSAS MATTERS.

A prairie fire, four miles north OF Gar
nett, last week destroyed large amount
of property.
Col. A. NJ. York was married to Minis
Candace Tracy at Independence, Kansas,
on the 18th of last month.
The next annual session of the South
Kansas Conference of the NJ. E. church
will be held at Garrett, next spring.
The Attorney General has recently
given it as his opinion. that County
Clerks are entitled to the fees which
they collect under the law requiring that
transfers of real estate be registered in
their offices before recording.
The Manhattan Enterprise says that a
Mr.. ]. NJ. Swing'e, of that city, recently
shipped two tubs OF butter to Orange
County, New York, and that it Melted
him 23l cents a pound. This sounds a
little like shipping Goals to Newcastle"
but the experiment seems to have been
success, nevertheless.
A man named Charles C.. Marley, a
saloon-keeper at Netawaka, Nemaha
County, was hung for horse-stealing near
Granada, in that county last week. 1t
seems that the citizens of Nemaha Coun-
ty have been for sometime past suffering
from the depredations of horse
thieves, and that Manly was finally de.
tected with stolen horse in his posses
sion. He was arrested, and while on his
way to Seneca in charge ola constable, a
body of twenty-five masked men took the
prisoner from the officer and hung him
to the first tree they came to.
The Topeka Commonwealth says that
"the Supreme Court of the United States

that where the statute of Kansas author

COLMAN'S RURAL WORLD.

The National Live Stock journal, of
Chicago pays the following high compli.
ment to the Rural World. 1t says
This sterling old agricultural weekly,
published at st. Louis, has recently been
enlarged and otherwise greatly improved.
Its editor, Hon. Norman J. Colman, is
one of the ablest men connected with the
agricultural press of America, and his
paper is just what might be expected
with such a man at its head. 1t devotes
a large share of attention TO live stock
interests. Send for sample copy.

The iron for the narrow-gauge weighs
80 pounds to the yard.
These prices are very close down to a
cash basis, and subject of course to some
enlargement when capital stock or bonds
are to he converted into cash; but when
the fact is taken into consideration that
in raising a large amount of money a
much greater ratio of discount is requil-
ed than in raising small amount, the
relative proportions Of cost between the
two gauges. as given above, will be found
not to be overestimated.
In deciding, however, upon the amount
of bonds which county may safely
issue, this fact should have due consider
alton: That if narrow gauge road is
built the chances are that the invests
ment will produce fair income; if a
standard gauge is built, the chances are
not so certain that the investment will be
profitable to the stockholders.

THE President has decided to with
draw the troops from Columbia, South
Carolina, and this virtually establishes
the Hampton government. In return
Gov. Hampton pledges himself to main
tain peace and order, and to see that all
citizens-white or black-are protected
in all their rights. If this is actually
done, then the PRESIDENTS pacifcation
policy will prove success. 1t is worth
a trial, and if it proves failure, other
measures can then be adopted.
