Irish CoIony.'

An extensve Irish scolony has been
organizing In st. Lonis for the pur-
chase of land, about Is 900 to- $4,000
acres. 1t Is under the ausplcies OF the
Catholic Celebration society. A COM
,mittee visited Texas and Kansas, and
on their return q Meeting was held
and reports made. Finally a vote was.
taken on the one proposition, as to
whether the colony would purchase
lands In Texas or Kansas. All who
had paid their first assessmens were
allowed TO vote. The result was %
for Kansas and 20 for Texas. The
committee were then instructed to con-
fer with the agents of the Kansas
lands offered them. The colony have
offers In yariotis portions of Kansas,
but it Is not yet known where they will
eventually locate. It Is settled, how
ever, that 1t Is to be in Kansas, and It
Is expected that the colony will ultl-
mately embrace some two hundred
families.

Distance OF space or time miti-
gates our feelings, but it is a lament
able fact that for months past and
months to come one of the most
terrible famines on record has been
and will be prevailing In British
India. Millions of people there
are absolutely dying of starvation.
The editor of the Madras Times, .
member OF the relief committee,
writes under date Of August as fol-
lows:
The population of Southern In
dia more or less afflicted by famine,
numbers q, 900, 600, and in the most
favorable circumstances at least
One-sixth will die. In the Interior
the distress is most fearful. One
gentleman passing down the valley
in Wyad district, counted twenty
nine dead bodies on the road. A
coffey planter, seeking shelter from
rain in q hut, found ak decompos-
ing eorPses In it. On any day and
every day mothers may be seen IN
the streets of Madras Offering their
children for sale, while the fondling
portion Of the poor house Is full OF
Infants found by police on roads,
deserted by their parents. Since
the famine began 10000 people
have died of want and distress.

Never has the future prospects for
Madison been so promising since its
palmlest days years ago, as now. AL
ready new houses are being erected,
and lumber on the ground for more,
and ere many days the shriIl, but well
come whistle OF the narrow gauge
will be heard, and the busy clatter of
saw and hammer proclaim the speedy
upbuiiding of Madison. -
AS your correspondent traversed the
Verdigris valley, he could not refrain
from the thought that a stranger
might take hay to be the staple pro-
duct of this section. Nearly every
able bodied man thinks hay, talks
hay, and works in hay-everything
but eat 1t. Standing on q high bluff
one can count men by the score-mow-
ing, raklng, pitching, loading, hauling
and stacking. Among the many large
hay contractors is Mr.. T. B. Mcclure,
'of Madison, putting up 400 tons for
the Holderman Brothers.
Never did the valley appear richer
to the eye than at present. Hundreds
of nice fat cattle grazing on the prai-
rie, the bottom land teaming with
thousands of acres of mammoth corn,
and the prairie dotted with thousands
OF tons of hay.
MADIsON'S BUSINESS MEN.
j. Hall & Bros, OF Emporia, are do
Ing good business at their branch
store. They carry q general assort-
ment of dry goods, groceries. boots,
shoes, hats, caps, etc.
The irrepressible J. w. Mcintosh, is
domiciled at this point, serving the
people In the capacity of boot and shoe
maker.
Among the latest establishments in
Madison, is an eatlng-house, by w. H.
Bunt. He cordially invites the weary
and hungry traveller to stop and re-
plenish. Mr.. B. sets good table the
writer knows, by experience, that
the craving of the inner man can be
abudantly Satisfied At his table. ~ :
This place Is represented by two
good blacksmiths and one wagon max
er; also two physicians, Drs. Standby
and Cause, the latter a new arrival.
w. II. Green carries general stock
Of merchandise. He does a good busi-
ness, and commands 8 fair trade from
up and down the valley.
A. Strehle has been engaged in the
sale of groceries at this point for
several years, and has built up q good
paying trade.
The drug store Of w. II. Blunt, is
full and "mplete, and everything
usually iouL at flrst-class drug store
can be found there. NJ. DASH.

The Camphor Tree.

One Of the most useful and magnificent
productions of the vegetable kingdom
that cnrlcheS China. and more partlcu-
larry the Provinces of kiang-si and Can
ton, is the camphor tree. This stipend
Gus laurel, which often adorns the banks
of the rivers was in several places found
by Lord Amherst's embassay above fifty
feet high. with its stem twenty feet in
circumference. The Chinese themselves
affirm that ii sometimes attainS the height
of more than three hundred feet, and a
circumference greater than the extended
arms Of twenty men could embrace.
Camphor is obtained from the branches
by sleeping them, while fresh cut. in Wa
ter for two OF three days. and then boil
ing them till the gum, in the form of a
white Jelly, adhercs to q stick which is
used in constantly stirring the branches.
The fluid is then poured into d glazed
vessel, where it cOncreteS in few hours.
To purify it the Chinese take quantity
of finely powdered earth. which they lay
at the bottom OF a copper basin; over
this they place a layer OF camphor, and
then another layer OF earth, and 50 on
until the vessel is nearly filled, the last OF
topmoSt layer being OF earth. They cover
this last layer with the leaves of Il plant
called pO-ho. which seems To be a species
of the mentha minD. They now inVer

fire for certain length Of time, and then
to cool gradually. On separating the
