SWALLOWING NEEDs.ES,

Tastes vary, and according to the Paris Journal des Debgts, there are epicures who have passion for swallowing pins and needles. The majority of such persons are insane. In crtzy woman, Ut the Salpe- triere Asylum, 500 needles were found, upon dissection. 4 Dr. Yillarrs, in Paris, reports having taken 2n0 pins and needIes from n young woman Of twenty five, during the space of nine months. They had beeu swallowed two years before, and made several kits from the arm, the side, ths abdomen, and from the thigh down to tha knee, All came from the left side, and thu pins made the most nipid progress in trav- cling. The needles were oxidized. When taken they had reaehei the skin, and ere aied pinlples upon its surface. Doctors Fabrice de Hid len Gillette. and Lepanl- mier in Paris. Ouo in Copenhagen, Bigger in Ireland, aud ssYersl in England, have similar experiences To relat.. No infam- nation occurred nj the points from which A1e pins and needles wsre taken.

Henry G, Sluss for Senator,

We understand that Hon. HC.Slu;s
of Wichita, will be candidate fol
State Senator to succeed Hon. John
Kelly, resigned Mr.. Sluss is one Of
the best men in the district, and We
presume viii be nominated without
opposition. Sumner county will pre-.
sent no candidate, and viii only con
tend for fair representation, which We
trust our Sedgwick county friend;
will be willing to accord Wellington
Press.
The above sentiments will meet
with a most hearty endorsement from
the people of this county, who know
Henry sluss better than our friends ii
Sumner do. Politically he is Repub-
lican, without single inconsistency
Mentally without superior in this
part of the State. As lawyer the
records OF the Supreme, United States
and District Courts attest his high
legal attainments. But for personal
diffidence Henry Sluss might long
since have occupied the highest posi-
lions in the gift of the people in this
section, and we are truly gratified to
know that our neighbors in Sumner
county understand his worth as man
and his value as prospective State
Senator. OF course Scdgwick viii &C
cord fair representation; in fact we
are entirely satisfied in view of such
sentiments as have been expressed by
the press of Sumner county to take the
whole matter in their own hands.

Terrific Storms.

The absence of spots on the sun, the
many eclipses, the representations OF
Tice, or the Potter committee. or all
combined, have conspired to meteor
ologically unsettle things the present
season. Nearly every section of the
country has been visited by destruct-
i've storms which in violence surpass-
es every thing experienced, with few
exceptions. a storm swept through
the New England States last Saturday
which destroyed millions of property
and many lives. In Wallingford, Con-
necticut, thirty odd deaths are report
ed. Next year is the thonsandth ami
vcrsary of the destruction OF Pompei
and the Scientific Americdn says it
promises to be season OF great dif-
astcr from earthquakes, storms, and
so forth.

For the Eagle.
That Survey.

We are sorry TO hear persons with
some reputation for learning expose
their ignorance on certain subjects
In the West il has become common
habit to give All opinion upon every
topic of interest, whether one is capa-
BILE of rightly doing so or not. We
frequently hear Mr.. Ryan's bill for the
survey of the Arkansas denounced as
"grand steal," ''put up job" etc.;
and many who are wholly mex
perienced in such matters are assert
ing that the very proposition to psvi-
gate the tnird largest river in the Uni
ted States is absurd, and The accom-
plishment of the same an impossible
ty. There were just such men living
twenty years ago, and some of this
class used to make maps, and on those
maps this beautiful valley was brand
ed "The Great American Desert" So
would their descendants i'll prophetic
ignorance brand our highway to na-
tions "The Great Unnavigable Arkan-
sas.' Would it not be well to with
hold these weigh.y decisions until af-
ter the army engineers have complet-
ed their survey, and see what men of
science and experience say of the pro-
ject. For, should they report favora-
bly,, and the river in a few years be
floating our immense products to an
exceller market, -as it will so sure as
to-morgow's sun will rise-then these
solons viii feel kind of cheap methinks,
and by that time they viii have dis
covered the wonderful fact(?) that
"Tom Ryan had nothing to do with
getting the survey made" In our
humble opinion the navigation
OF the Arkansas is not such
an impossibility at all. Ii is suscep-
tiblc of Improvement by running
system Of basket projections at small
angle. with the current, at suitable
points along the shore, that will in
one season give sufficient water to
start regular trade with the South
era markets. This is q matter of
great Importance to US, in this county
especially and why not look as favor
ably upon it as possible. Let us, like
the ancient conquerer who said Gear
thage must be destroyed" continually
cry "The Ark ansas must be made sry-
igable p and nayigable it will be.
