The Commonwealth Prospectus for 1871.

One wear AGO the Commonwealth issued
declaration of its principles and purposes
This declaration embodied briefly the expires
sion of determination to stand by the Repub
lican party; of a belief in 'honest money a!
distinguishable from an irredeemable paper
currency, and of general conviction that the
first duty of a newspaper is to tell the news
and of a Kansas newspaper to give kansa;
news the precedence.
! A year has passed and shown that the Re
publican party IS, more than ever. necessary
for the preservation of liberty and law in this
country In regard to the financial question
this much, if no more, has been decided at the
polls. that the people are opposed to the wild
theories of the infationists.
The course of the Commonwealth, as a po-
litical and news journal, has been abundantly
sustained. An enlargement Of the daily has
been found necessary, and the circulation of
the paper has steadily increased. In view OF
these circumstances the Commonwealth has
no new policy to announce. but will adhere to
the course marked out in the past.
Kansas news will continue 10 be a specially
and the three departments of Estate Items =
kansas Farming" and kansas Churches, -
will be diligently collated from our State ex-
changes, while by free use of the telegraph
and special correspondence every event OF
general interest which transpireS in the State
will be laid before our readers.
In the files of the Commonwealth may be
found a history OF the state government in eve
ry department, executive, legislative djudic
al. The syllabi of decisions of the Supreme
Court are published in the Commonwealth by
authority. The legislative reports WILL dur
ing the coming session, be made, Is hereto
fore, full and complete. The Legislative
Summary" which was generally commended
and freely used by the press of the State last
winter. will be made a rernl ar feature.
In submitting this brief statement, it is dasir-
ed that it be distinctly understood that the
Commonwealth sets up no claim to be the
''leading State paper nor assumes to be the
organ of any man or set of men, save the
editors and prOprietors. 1t bases its claims

New Years Day is day of happy greeting,
and as such, it was observed in Saliua on the
lst day of January. 1877. Early in the morn
ing, on Monday last, there could be heard. Oh
our streets, the shouts OF New Year greetings,
and at the homes not a door could be opened
but what you would suspect that some bright
eyed child or familiar friend would bounce in
to wish you Happy New Year. In observ-
ancc of the general custom of keeping ''open
house, number of the young ladies' of our
city had prepared to receive calls and were
duly remembered by their gentlemen friends.
Mss Dearborn received with Miss Anna Macy,
at the residence of the Misses Macy. Miss
Minnie Palmer received with Miss Jennie Sar-
gent, at the residence OF Mr.. Joseph Sargent.
Miss Place received with Miss Ida Williams at
the residence Of Capt. 5. III. Williams. The
Misses Berks, the Misses BlOdgett, Miss Mag

their homes. The young ladies entertained at
elegantly spread tables, and many compliments
are paid them.

IMMIGRANTS and AMERICAN BEEF

The English press records, with i'll
concealed satisfaction, the decline Of
immigration TO the United States which
the official statistics of the board OF
trade reveal. During 1876 the number
of emigrants from England to the United
States was 54,554, and the number who
returned 54,967. The surplus popula-
ton of Ireland has been drained off and
the island is prospecting, for since 1866
emigration has steadily decreased. Dur
ing the same period emigration from
Scotland has remained stationary. Emil
grafton from Great Britain has been in
the erection of Australia and New
Zealand rather than to the United
States. The English papers accept very
ch~eerfully the logic of the statistics.
"There is misery and restitution" they
say, Gin the land of the free" "There
are other and more promising parts of
the world" "a country where people
either starve to death or are burned
alive in theatres OIL railway carriages"
"a good field for Chinamenr3 Well,
this counssy doesn't need any more i'm
migrants at present. It is no easy matter
to find work for all who are now here,
ard it costs a good deal to educate the
children of those who have come over.

REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.

New Orleans Picayupe: Two miles
southwest of Milneburg, and about halt
a mile from Lake Pontchartrain, there
occurred, on Friday night, a wonderful
phenomenon. The earth for about thirty
acres became suddenly depressed, sinking
fully thirty feet, and trees on the mar
gin tumbled into the chasm. When
there, on Saturday evening, a very dis
tinct rumbling noise could be heard at
intervals, while in the center of the
cave flashes of light sprang up to the
height of fifteen or twenty feet. A sui
phurous odor is SO strong on the margin
of the chasm that it is approached with
difficulty, and is perceptible at distance
OF" mile from the spot. Wherefore is
this, and what does it mean? | am a
s~eafaring man, and have recently noticed
a change in the Gulf stream. 1t sets in
with a powerful current through the
Chandelier Islands, Mississippi sound,
Lake Borgne, and by the Rigolets into
Pontchartrain. Can it be, by some sud-
den convulsion in the internal structure
of the earth, that a has been
created SO near, into which the waters Of
the Atlantic are now running, threaten
ing an earthquake? The subject is
worth the attention of scientific men
better able than the writer to explain
this very strange phenomenon, tc2which
I merely call attention.

Solomon Rau.

A hard, close man WasSoloInon Ray;
Nothing of value gayehe away
He boarded and saved,
He pinehed and shaved,
And the more he had the more he Craved,
The hard-eaIned dollars he toiIed to gain
Brought him little but care and pain
For little hespsnt,
And all he lent
He made 1t bring him twenty per cent.
Such was the life of Solomon Ray
The years went by, and his hair grew gray
His CHECKS grew thin,
Ard his soul within
Grew hald as the dollars he worked to win.
But he died one day as all mon must,
For life il fieettng, and naught but dusa:
The heirs wee gay
That laid him away,
And that was the end of Solomon Ray.
They quarreled now, who had little cared
For Solomon Ray while his life was spared ;
His9ands were sold,
and his hard~earned gold
All went u lawyers, | am told.
Yet men will cheat, and pinch, and save,
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave ;
All the god some day
VIII Met away,
Like the selfish savings OF Solomon Ray

THE NEWEGYPTIAN COTTON PLANT

Much interest is manifested in regard
to a new and prolific cotton plant lately
discovered in Egypt. 1t appears to have
been discovered in the following manner:
"In the autumn Of 1873, a Copt lk-
ing in the upper part of the Delta, at a
place called Berketel-S Sab, a station of
the Cairo railway, in the province of
Menuf, noted a plant in a cotton field
wholly different from the rest. He col
I1ected the pods, separated the seed, and
planted it in secret in an isolated plot of
ground. For three years he has carried
on the cultivation and now there are
said to be from 500 to 1000 pounds in
the country, and the seed is sold in the
public market. This seed il, sold at a
price twenty-five or thirty times higher
than the common kind. The new COT
|don, I am assured, on the best authority,
is Of good appearance, commercially
speaking, and quite equal in quality to
the ordinary Egyptian cotton. The
plant grows in a different manner from
the ordinary cotton plant. It grows to
about the height of ten feet, has a
straight, vertical stem, without branches,
with very few leaves, and is thickly
studded with pods. Seventy are said to
have been gathered from the first plant
discovered. The ordinary cotton is
found on a shrub some four to five feet
high, with spreading branches. Nearly
a yard must be left for air, light and
growing room between each shrub,
whereas the new plant, from the absence
of branches, requi1esonly half the space"
1t is reported that in Egypt the yield
per acre is 800 pounds of lint. or nearly
three times the average amount made
there iL1the ordinary crop. If this be
true, its production on the lowlands of
Louisiana a7d Mississippi would be mar
velous. It2would be we'll for some of
our congressman to make an effort to OBJ
tain this new seed for trial.

The Cincinnati tax assessor, in his
instructions to his deputies, says: Il

hot water and broomsticks, but don't be

fresh supply of water and brooms."
