A NOVEL AIRSHIP.-F. w. Shredder. the
inventor of an air-ship which has attracted
wide attention, arrived in New York last
week, intending, he says to build there a
large ship of the same pattern in which to
journey to Europe, in September next. At
Hartford, Conn, he has exhibited lately
his air-shp. The machine consists of a
balloon shaped like cigar, with light
car for passengers beneath. The balloon is
to be 81 feet long and 20 feet in diameter,
to be constructed of silk, lined with India
rubber. Filled with carbonic acid gas, the
balloon can be kept inflated for many days
In the car is to be an electric engine of
ehalf horse power, with the machinery
for working a screw propeller and rudder
which are to be attached to it. The balloon
is driven by the propeller and by pair of
wings at either side of the car. The ship
can be held almost stationery in the air by
the use of its machinery. The inventor is
confident that in such a machine he could
go to Europe and return in five days. The
cost of the ship is $1,000.

\ WoMAN's RIGHT-In q case in New

that she had on one occasion "deceived -
her husband by taking money from his
pocket one night on his return home in a
drunken condition. A lawyer on the op-
posite side contended that this was robbery,
not deception, whereupon the learned judge
interposed and said "Oh, well, when a
man comes home drunk his wife has a
right to rob him, and think this is good
law" Bibulously inclined husbands would

The latest accounts of the physical con-
dition of the Emperor of Germany show
clearly that, although not fatally injured
by the assassin, ne is almost hopelessly dis
abled. 1t is improbable that he can re-
cover sufficiently to perform his imperial
duties. The Regency is therefore perma-
nent. The Regent and Prince Bismarck
were said to be hostile. but it is not likely
that a change will occur in the Chancellor
ship SO long as the Emperor survives,
especially in view ofthe state of the Empire.
The popular elections, however, may make
things awkward for Bismarck.

1t sounds like Far West grasshopper
tale, but it is told with perfect solemnity by
an English paper. On May I3 a large
swarm of locusts settled on railroad in
Madras and covered the metals for some
distance. A~passing train crushed some
thousands of them, and the glutinous sub
stance from their bodies rendered the rails
so slippery that the wheels refused to take
the metals, and the engine had to be
brought to a standstill and the wheels and
metals cleaned before the train could pro-
| ceed. The train which followed was also
detained by the same cause.

Kansas II Congress.
L ours, etc.,
LONG JOHN.

The New York Herald, in the course
Of lengthy article on Postal Savings
Banks, thus speaks of the measure
drawn by Mr.. Phillips, of the First
District in this State and now before
both Houses of Congress:
During the first year of postal saw
| ings banks the deposits will be COM
paratively small, and no very elabor-
ate or extensive official machinery will
be necessary for taking care of them.
As an entering wedge the bill intro
duced in the House by Mr. Phillips,
which is an exact copy Of that intro
dued in the Senate by Mr.. ingalls,.
might prove very useful The system
embodied in the Ingalls-Phillips bill
would start the experiment favorably,
and when the number of depositors
should become so great as to require
the establishment of a new and extern
sive bureau in Washington. legislation
could easily be procured for that pur-
pose. The system would be certain TO
grow in popularity with the constant
~ increasing amount of deposits
There is no necessity for erecting any
elaborate system for taking care of
these deposits until their amount out
grows the machinery and facilities of
the money order post offices. We
should. therefore, prefer the passage
by this Congress of one of the several
simpler bills, like that of Mr.. Phillips,
to the premature erection of the elab-
crate administrative system prepared
by the expert of the Post Cfiice De-
partment. The first important thing
is to attract deposits in the money or
der post offices. When these become |
large in amount, as they would ccr- |
tainly become in short time, ii would /
then be in order for Congress to pro-
vide adequate machinery for admins
tering the new system.

Ingalls,, Oenkling and Blaine.

One of the spiciest bouts that has
been listened to in that great intellect
ual arena, the United States Senate,
for many day, occurred last week,
and Kansas boasts its central figure in
the person of her Senator, Hon. John
j. Ingalls,, who unfortunately, or we
would rather say fortunately, drew
upon himself the fire of the two big
gest guns of that body. The debate
was on bill TO allow the President to
temporarily designate pension agents
in cases where new appointee, from
any cause, failed TO qualify. OF course
every Kansan will feel proud of the re-
sult-feel to congratulate himself that
we have a man in the United States
Senate who ia such signal manner
not only stood up to the battle that
his committee expected at his hands.
but that he came out with flying col
ors, the bill Immediately passing by an
overwhelming majority. The affair
has attracted large share Of public
attention, has been noticed and CON-
mented upon by the press all over the
country, and the general opinion is
that the Senator from New York got
the worst of it. The New York Times
in its report of the debate, said that
Mr.. Ingalls, was the first man who had
ever faced Mr.. Conkling in the Senate,
and charged him with supercilious-
moss

The Chinese Famine.

The most fri ghtful famine ever re
borded in the history of any country
is now devastating four provinces in
eastern China. These provinces lie
along the Hoang-Ho river, and south
of the great Chinese wall. They con-
tain over seventy millions of people.
In one province, Shuuse. there is alb
solutely no food except what is fur
nished by the imperial government.
For three consecutive years drouth has
prevailed over the larger portion of
the four provinces, and no food crops
have been raised except along the
banks of streams that were not dried
up. The land is not adapted to irri-
CATION, being hilly and broken. The
increase of population during the past
few years has caused the land to be
cleared up to the heights of the hills.
1t is believed that the destruction of
this timber has caused the cessation of
rain, and the drying up of most of the
springs and mountain streams. In the
opinion of some who have visited the
famine-stricken region drouth will
continue to prevail there until natural
forests again assume their Old places.
The story of the sufferings of these
people, as told by travellers, is without
parallel in history. Whole families
have been many months without tas.-
ing meat. fish. rice, or bread. Reptiles,
insects, vermin of all sorts, are greed
lily devoured, whenever found. Wild
birds and animals have in a great
measure forsaken the desolated land.

foliage, for the purpose of obtaining
something for the support of life.
Grasses and weeds growing in moist |
places are pulled up and eaten with |
relish. Many persons to satisfy the
cravings of hunger, eat moist clay and |
mud. There is no commerce and but |
little manufacturing. AT present there
are hardly any beasts of burden for

The imperial government is doing
much 10 provide assistance, but its
agents are growing rich by stealing

No crops can be harvested in the des-
dated region till midsummer, aud the

reserve their lives by flight, but for
he most part they have persisted by |

saying prospects for winter wheat
never better" Large sowings Of
spring wheat are expected. The mild
winter has given opportunity for out
side labor, and all work is well adj
vanced and ready for spring. Great
complaint continues on account Of bad
roads, which prevents the moving OF
grain in wagons. The frost is all out

wheat sowing commenced week ago.
Nebraska also reports large number
of farmers sowing spring wheat.

The Minnesota Bridge Question 0acs More.


ED. EAGLE:-ln Mr.. Barlow's re-
ply to friend Ackerman, on the bridge
question, there is one statement that
should be corrected: He says when
we went to interview Mr.. Nelson be-
fore the Board met, Mr.. Nelson told
Mr.. Alderman to measure both cross
ings. Mr.. Nelson never told me that,
but Mr.. Jacobs did, and | measured
them, not only with the help of Mr..
Cochran, but OF Mr.. Richmond and
Mr.. j. Cook, and all are, believe, will
ing to testify TO the fairness of the
measurement. He says he has it from
two reliable men that the Commits
sioncrs passed the Marshall grocery
after dark. in his first letter they cross
ed the ford after dark. | did not sup
pose they came out TO view the Mar
shall grocery, ana if it was true that
they passed the grocery after dark,
that is not evidence that they crossed
the ford after dark. | would like TO
hear from Mir. York or Chase if am
right or Mr.. Barlow.
In Mr.. Barlow's first letter he says
that he is at a loss TO know where Mr.
York gets his measurement to figure
from, and now he goes on TO tell where |
he gets them, and it seems that he was |
not, as he stated, at a loss to know |
He says that they never have prayed /
for the bridge. Now | believe that is
about all they have not done, and |
don't think it will do Mr.. Barlow any
harm to reform aud try it, and if the
Lord is on his side he would,n no doubt,
answer his prayer. am glad TO hear
that Smooch creek man has prayed
for the bridge, and l sincerely hope
that he did not pray in vain. Yours,

Peace Declared.

Russia and Turky have at last signed
treaty of peace. The terms of Rus
STA seem to have been quite largely
modified, though to what precise ex-
tent does not yet appear. The quss-
tons which remain will doubtless be
settled in accordance with the advice
or agreement of the conference which
is soon to assemble. The danger Of
war between Russia and England
would appear to be no longer immi-
nent. This is evident from the imme-
diate decline in breadstufls which has
taken place. As long as there was a
likelihood of war they kept going up,
but now they have declined.
