The dog law is uncon stitutional,
the Supreme Court said on the
oath ult. This overturns things
generally. Legislators are standing
upon their hind legs and paving
the air for very JOY, and the poor,
prosecuted dogs are wal,zing around
on their ears singing peans of vic
tory. Everybody will go to breed
ing dogs now, and the country will
soon wax strong again. Amids st
the sadness and gloom caused by
the Fraudulent Count, this comes
like star of hope in a murky sky
and makes things shine again.
The dogs are bowling with delight,
Niggers will now have six n piece,
The sheep are bleating with nffrIglt,
Ard white folks now will get no fleece.

season advances, our sources Of supply
work northward to Savannah, Charleston,
Norfolk, until about the first of Nav,

gardens begins to appear. California also
has the honor Of supplying us with the

same manner as asparagus, and is worth,
when it first appears, about 81 per head
Among the most prominent Of our Janua-
ry arrivals may be mentioned cucumbers
and lettuce, the first arrivals Of both Of

At the recent meeting Of the National
Academy Of Science in Washington, Mai.
Powell read very interesting paper on
the "Public Domain The following ex-
tract is given by the New York Tribune !.
He divided the whole urea Of the United
States into two parts, which he designated
as humid aud arid. The humid portions
are those in which the rainfall Is sufficient
for the purposes Of agriculture; the arid.
those where il Is not Except narrow
strip on the Pacific coast, the arid portion
comprises all the land west Of a line drawn
through the centres Of Minnesota. east Of
Nebraska, and near the centres Of X apsas'
Indian Territory, and Texas. The arid
portion nearly equals in area the humid
portion. Within the arid region there
are localities of great fertility, in valleys
watered by streams; but the instances
where the fertility depends directly upon
rainfall are exceedingly few. Wherever
there are streams id this region the fer
tIlity can be much extended BY irrigation.

gion are almost wholly undesirable prop

WELLINGTON, Nav 7th. ls77

WELLINGTON, May 9TH, 1877.
Mesrs Editors II was yery much
amused by reading an article in your paper
u short time since, in which some parties
who had gone a,oay out aCest to Iowa and
Illinois, undertook to give an account of
those far aloay countries which they had
visited. | inferred from what they said
that they we're not well pleased, and |
have personal knowledge Of the truth of
many Of their remarks in regard to Iowa
and Illinois. The fact is that many Young
men In the extreme eastern States make
very great mistake when they attempt to
Go West, and get no farther than the
States above mentioned. Ten years ago |
made the same mistake, and went to Ohio,
and two years later | went to Missouri.
and then / learned that / must 20 as far
as Kansas, at least, if / wished to make
home in the west. II is all nonsense
for young men in the extreme eastern
States to emigrate to such States as Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, or Iowa, as farms are
worth more there, and the chances for sue
cess in any business are, to say the least,
inferior to what they are at home. And
the few who have succeeded, had they
used the same management, deported them
selves in the same manner, used the same
economy and developed the same amount of
pluck and enterprise, would have succeed.
ed in any country in the world. Unfor-
tunately, there are too many who start out
in life or go west without any settled
plan, merely trusting that Providence, iu
some way or other, viii direct their foot
steps to bag Of gold, and all that they
will he expected to do viii be to carry L
off in some way or other and dispose Of
their newly acquired wealth, in whatsoever
manner may be most pleasing to themselves.
| say this would be but fair and natural
conclusion to draw from their acts.
In conclusion let me say word or two
about Kansas. / shall not undertake to
give you history Of the State, nor de-
scription Of her fertile soil or salubrious
climate, but merely say that If there are
any persons In your county who are desi-
rous of changing their present residence,
that have little capital, (say thousand
dollars,j if they will come to Kansas, live
as economical, work as hard, use the same
tact aud management that they would If
they remained where they are, that in Eve
years time they viii be worth Eve times as
much as they would have been had they
remained on the rocky lodges Of old Ma
ryland. / am speaking now Of those who
contemplate making farming their occu-
patton. AS to all classes of professional
men, ! would say, emphaticaIly, stay whore
