WE see in the Deutche Zeituag of

held some time in August in that city.

Dominion.
he above paragraph is true in every
respect but one--the editor Of the New
DOMINION should have said that he got
a German to ''see" the item for him il
the Zeituno. Wheeiing STANDARD.
From tleabovethe inference would be
drawn that we can not read German.
The Standard should remember that
we were brought up in the Athens of
West Virginia, not in Wheeling, hence
our knowledge of German. Bro.
Standard, allow us to inform you that
We are perfectly ut home, translating
Goethe and Schiller. We alst delight
in Homer, Herodotus, Xcnophon and
the other leading Greek authsrs, and
also with the great Welsh poet Hlpwtr>
obmxnty, And we are so familiar with
Latin that we frequently do orr think
ing in that grand old classic language.
Now Bro. Standard don't you feel cx-
ccedingly small? We are sorry on your
account to be compelled to make this
defense which is so disparaging to you
when comparison is drawn between
our attachments.

0psrs BouFe.

On The evening OF the fourth OF September will
be produced, for the first time in Wichita, tbs
Opera Boufle, of 'Ihe Doctor of Alcantara. -
About thirty of our music-loving citizens viii
take part in its rendition. The costumes will be
rich and gay, and will be procured at great
expense. The argument, or plot, Is: Carlos,
the son of Balthazar has fallen in love with
Lcnorita Isab,lla, daughter of DIR. Paracelsus.
In the mean while, Isabella has been betrothed
to young man with whose name she has not
been made acquainted Surprised by her moth
in listening to a serenade given by Carlos, she
confesses her love Tor him and refuses &c marry
the unknown intended. Carlos contrives to have
himself conveyed into the house in basket, IN
der cover of present to Inoz, the coR6aanfe OF
Isabella Carlos takes advantage of the absence
CT everybody 10 get out of the basket and con-
ceal himself. The doctor and Inez. in trying to
hide the basket from the qulrrelsome Luerczia,
drop it in the river, and Afterwards learn that
there was : man in it. Attracted by the despair
ing screams OF in,z, the night watch appear. led
by the Algaazii Pomposo, who informs them thai
they under the surveillance of his men as
suspicious persons. After the departure of the
night-wstch, the doctor ana Inez aru LEFT brood
ing IN fear and dismay over their crime, when
Carlos enters. TO the great terror of the doctor
and Inez. who Immediately suspect him 10 be o
police spy. lie discovers himself TO them rs the
son Of Senior Balthazar, being unaware at the
same time that his lady lore and his intended are
oae and the same. Transported with joy, the
doctor asks him to take glass of wine with
him, which wine, brought by Incz, proving 10
be enc OF the DOCTORS poisonous decociions,
flunges Carlos ut once into deaihlike sorrow.
The doctor, believing him dead, and afraid of
being detected in this, his second imaginary
murder, conceals Carlos in SOFA, in which act
he is dIsagreeably surprised by the sudden arri-
val OF Senior Balthazsr, who comes to conclude
the arrangements for the marriage of his son
ana Isabella. His presence being Objectionable
10 them they put every obstacle in his way, so
that at length he is fosesd TO pass the night on
the sofa, beneath which his sons body is con-
cealed. When he is asleep. the doctor and Inez,
fearful of discovery, enter to remove the body
from under Balthazar, who awakes and starts
up in fear. Carlos, by this time recovering from
the effect Of the opiate contrves to get out OF the
sofa, and his father, meeting him in the dark,
utters cry Of alarm Which terrilies the doctor
and Inez, and also attracts the neighbors. Mu-
tuai explanations take place, ana Izabella and
Carlos prove to have been loving at cross pur-
poses, as they were, from the first, intended for
each other by their respective parents.

UNION TOWNSHIP, August 10, 1878.
ltessrs, Kwdock Dc Brother:
GENTLEMRN-Old Union is not ia the hab-
it of blowing about its products, but when it
comes to facts and figures we are always up,
il not little in advance, as the following will
testify. 1 thrashed eight acres of wheat on
the Sth inst, of the Big May variety, which
yielded three hundred and sixty-one and
three-ffths bushels, making an average OF
forty-nye and one-fftk bushels to the acre.
Wheat in our neighborhood is averaging
about thirty bushels to the acre, and the
probabilities are corn will so from sixty to
ninety bushels TO the acre. Old croakers-
dry weather and grasshopper prophets-are
silent, and / AN Of the opinion they will have
TO quit the business, or emigrate to some
place where they can find grounds for grow-
ing. Il. LoUDENsLAGER.
Ii is estimated that the wheat crop for 1878,
IN twenty-one States of the Union, foots up
301 100000 bushels. OF this amount Mime.

G. 5. Lii, in Sherman, turns of from
hundred and sixty acres about $500 bushels
OF good wheat. Some of the ground was old
and some of it new, the whole averaging
about sixteen bushels to the acre. Mr.. Lii is
not in favor Of planting sod ground in corn
and then following the sod corn crop with 4
wheat crop. He says the ground had much
better lie idle. He has teams plowing, pre-
paratory to putting in three hundred acres
this fall.
The area Of wheat planted this fall viii be
much larger than last. And so we go.

For the EAGLE.
lettings BY a Rambler.
WICHITA. August !

WICHITA, August 10, 1878.
DEAR EAGLE For your flights to the lit
tie city of Abilene during my four weeks So
journ in that place. please accept thanks.
Socially considered Abilene is a success.
Though comparative stranger, with nothing
but my business to recommend me. L found
myself very much at home with the people
There seems to be considerable wealth con-
centrated in and about the place, ard lots OF
good people, and the leading men, instead Of
'ssharking" strangers, seem to be using all
proper and honorable influences to induce the
right kind OF people to settle there.
l formed the acquaintance of Wilson of the
Gazette and Hart OF the Ckrcaicle, both labor
ing arduously for Abilene and Dickinson
county; also tor the promotion of moral and
literary culture in the community, both OF
the standard Make OF politics, but differ
ing in opinion in regard to one Phillips with
an Hon. in front OF his name.
On my return, as weias on my way thither,
l called upon my old friend John Davis, of
the Junction City Tribune. Charley was Just
''making up" and made seine effort to get me
of paper before train time, but did not sue
coed,
During my short stay in Junction, took in
about ian hour OF the Davis County Normal
Institute under the management of Superin-
tendent True. assisted by Pref. Murray and
Miss Frankie Davis, daughter OF the Tribune
man. Found them doing good work.
l arrived at Efuporia JUSTIN time to catch
the Santa Fe train, but not in time TO get nv

DIED

At London, Sumner county, on the 18th Of
July, 1878, of consumption. in the 18th year o
her age, Blanche, daughter OF j. Ii. and NJ
A. Turner.
Very lonely we are without thee,
My sweet, angelic darling,
ace in all is vacant and dear,
That none but thy sweet presence can fill.
But thy sweet spirit hath passed away,
And dwells with the angels on high,
Where joy and gladness is ever with thee
No sorrow and pain ever nigh.
Thy sweet virtues and goodness
We ever will remember and cherish
With the deepest love and respect,
For we know that thy virtues were many.
Though it were hard, indeed, to part with
One SO lovely and good and true,
We know thou art happier than we,
When thou dwellest among The angels on
high.
o, that we could once more caress thee,
With the fondest of mothers embrace,
And kiss that sweet, angelic face,
And say 20 the angels in heaven, be kind to
one so dear.
Though our home is lonely without thee,
We scarce would recall thee to stay
In this world OF so much sorrow and pain,
So fare thee well dear, sweet Blanche.

Fin. Fruit Fam.

Having heard so much about the fruit farm
OF Mr.. VIM. McCracken, in Sunnydale, Har-
vey county, q reporter took it upon himselfto
visit that celebrated place the other day.
Aside from cleaning vast amount OF inform
alton, the very sight OF the place was enough
to repay the ride OF eighty miles. Let our
readers imagine, il they can, one hundred and
forty-five acres OF orchard so vast an area
devoted entirely to fruit is hardly conceive
Bile, yet that is what Mr. McCracken has. He
has $500 young fruit trees, and 1900 bearing
fruit trees. These trees consist OF apple,
peach. plum, and cherry, and all are OF the
very finest varieties Two apples picked from
a five year old tree were simply immense, and
go to show what Kansas can do in the way of
fruit with proper care and attention. He
commenced picking peaches on the 18th Of
June, selling them in Wichita, Newton and
Sedgwick. He has sold this year $50 worth
OF corn raised in the orchard lastyear. Since
the last of March he has sold 81, 100 worth of
fruit, $3.50 being Of small fruit, and his peach
and apple crop he has hardly commenced
dlsposing Of yet, Nj. NJ. is an enthusiast on
the fruit question; the pecuniary benefit de-
rived therefrom does not seem to interest
him SO much as the pleasure of the business.
He is pleasant, social gentleman, and takes
pride in showing visitors over his beautiful
farm. Skeptics who labor under the deiusion
that Kansas cannot raise anything should Wis
it this place, and our word for it they will
change their minds.
The above from the Peabody Gazette Is all
right, except the farm is one of our things,
being in Sedgwick county and not Harvey.

The campmceting at Hays Grove, after ten
days, closed on Monday. The weather prov
ed fine throughout and the efforts then put
forth were crowned with success. There
were thirty-fiye convers ions and forty access
sioEs to the Church. The last few services
were all-absorbing. Long past the witching
hour OF twelve O'Clock Saturday night, the
groves were all alive with songs of praise and
rejoicing. The night was magnificent one.
There was not Il fleck on the sky. A full
orbed moon bathed the surroundings in an in
constant light that filed the solemn woods
With thousand fantastic shadows which gill
ded to and fro, keeping poetical time to the
green houghs that swayed in the night wind
above. The outside lamps burned low, nared,
ilickered and at last went out, and still the
group under the great tent ever and anon
caught Up some inspired song as a soul would
emerge into new life and liberty. Several
services, and varied in character, were held
Sabbath. Rev. JOHN Kirby preached Sunday
morning. His theme ''the war between evil
and good.'' The discourse was bounded by
no sectarian views, but was in every particu-
lar worthy The man and the occasion. 1t was
the first time we ever heard him touch upon
politics, and we must say that he is eminently
sound. He gave utterances to sentiments
that ought 10 be sent broadcast throughout
cur country. Rev, a. S. Embree preached
in the afternoon. His subject was the 'sproft-
ableness OF Goodness" Fully one thousand
people were within the sound of his voice.
he did himself great credit IN both matter
and manner. We suspect it was the finest
effort of his life, but whether or no, it stamp
ed him as no ordinary thfnker--bold, indie
pendent and logical. 1t was evident from the
great interest of his large intelligen; audience
that no circumscribed field wouli long en-
chain the enlarged views and the ;enus of
oratory possessed by the YOU "a i before
them.

week, hut that is not al there is TO it. Three
certain gentlemen for whose bodies the Uni

ed eur Charley's arrival, and entertaining no.
tons of a suspicious character, they dropped
three needle guns on his authoritative per-
son, with demand that he should ''show
up" As luck would have 1t, c. B. didn't
happen to have the particular warrant in
which they stood in such dread, and conso-
quontly there is no new deputy to appoint
for this district. These ugly customers did
not hesitate 10 declare their determination to
send to ''kingdom eomc' any officer who
should attempt to arrest them, but wen
wager nickle that Charley Jones and Mike
Meagher can take them in.

The final settlement of the great Trotter
estate, of which we spoke last week, and
to which Chas. Garrison and Mrs DR..
Z. b. Allen, of this place, are joint heirs,
seems likely TO be realized. The con-
ventlou of the heirs at indianapolis, Indiana,
last week was largely attended, The estate
is in England, Scotland, Ireland, and the East
Indies, and as originally left fifty years ago
by Or. Thos. Trotrer and his brother William
il WAS estimated at els 900 600 or $50, 900 900.
1t rs couated in round numbers at 500, GOO 900
at this time. All the heirs except one family
emgrated to America on the death of the ell
der Trotter. There are ninety-two families
having an interest in the estate. Seventy five
of them were, represented at indianapolis.
DR.. j. NJ. Trotter, of Staunton, Virginia, is
at the head OF the present movement. These
facts we gather from the Chicago and other
papers noticing the convention. DR.. Allen, of
this city, says he has been cognizant of the
matter for years.
