VOLUME VIII NO. /.

Ibis week inc JOURNAL cHtoE upou 10
eighth volume.
During the seven years We have been
in the newspaper business in Salina we
haven had occasion to find fault with
the people of our city and county, as
they have ever been warm friends and
liberal supporters of tho JOURNAL. We
thank them heartily for their favors OF
the past, and ask that the. same kind
friendship and indulgence may be con-
tinued.
During the past year presses and 9TH
or material to the amount of s., 900 have
been added to our Office, and we now
have the most complete Office west OF
Topeka. We have Cincinnati cylinder
newspaper press-the only cylinder
press in Kansas west of Junction City ;
we have two Gordon jobbers-one an
medium and the other a medium.
Added to all these appliances for fret
class and speedy work, We have the
largest circulation and patronage of any
paper in Saline county-perhaps the
largest of any in Central or Western
Kansas.
We are also pleased to know that the
people of Saline county take pride IN
the JOURNAL and its prosperity, and
while almost the entire people congratu-
late us we extend our best wishes to
them for their individual and collective
prosperity, promising them that the
JOURNAL will forever more as in the past
work for their best interests.

BrOOkville Column.

Mr.. G. G. Hogaboom's horse created
some amusement last week, by baulk
ing with sleigh. He did not seem to
enjoy sleighing as much as the occupants
of the sleigh.
Thursday evening last, the Sons OF
Temperance organized with member
ship of about forty. They meet again
next Thursday night at the school house,
at which time many more are expected
to unite.
The mill meeting last Saturday was
quito success in numbers. An cxecu-
tive committee was appointed consisting
of F. Rossiter and c. +. Granger. Over
seven hundred dollars has already been
subscribed in labor and money toward
the erection of foundation, etc.
One of Mr.. ". II. Gentry's teams ran
away last Monday making things lively
for few minutes. but were brought to .
stop by coming in contact with Mrs.
Impson's house, knocking out win
dow, frame and all. Fortunately no one
was hurt, but several fancy articles were
broken.
Tho protracted meeting which has
been in progress for some time past is in
creasing in interest. Several have come
out on tho Lords side. Meetings are
held both afternoon and evening.
Ober, Wilson & Co. have been taking
an invoice of stock in their store at this
place, for day or two.
The pleasant weather tho past few
days hare dried up tho roads 80 that
many Of the farmers are again able to
bring in their produce, and repienish
their larders. Store keepers faces have
not been quite 90 long as they were q
week ago. Boz.
r. B. cunningham, freight conductor,
who was suspended has gone to work
again taking his regular run.
Tho Lord troupe (theatrical) is expect
ed here this week. They have been enter
tanning the people along the line Of the
K. P, west of here.
T. Clark, tho Real Estate agent, has
made arrangements by which he can eff.
feet loans on Real Estate, with some
firm in the east.
The revival meetings have so far been
fruihess. Only one has felt the yearnings
Of the spirit, but We hope there will be
as much rejoicing over that lost ono as
any ten thousand.
lr. J. johnson, of Lima, La Grange
county, Indiana, talks Of starting drug
store IN Brookville. He is an old drug.
gist; has been in THE business for the
past twenty years.
The weather has been exceedingly
fine for tho past week, with the excep-
ton of one or two days. But oh the
mud, tits knee deep on oil tho roads
leading into town.

A CITY IN TWO STATES.

This is perhaps the only city in the
world that has two Mayors and two City
Governments, police, etc, and taxed in two
States. The line between Tennessee and
Virginia is the centre of Main street, and
it gives rise to many funny scenes, as, for
example, the runaway couple need no
coach and four but, arm in arm. step across
Main street and are welded, The fugitive
commits a crime in Virginia. goes to the
pavement on the other side of the street.
and talks defantly to the officer on the
opposite side, who has a warrant for his mr..
rest. A misstep or a too bold disposition
will sometimes, however, bring him to
grief. Several instances have occurred of
a fugitive being hustled across The line by
n party prepared, while in the act of hold
ing such a conversation, and they tell of n
maj who defautly perched himself on a pile
of store boxes within six feet of the line,
jeering the officers ON the other side, but,
unfortunately for him, some law-abiding
citizen tilted the boxes, and when he
reached the ground he was in the other
state.-B,1stoi Correspondence PAla. Press.

A REAL TRUTH.


Whatever taste Your dressmaker, man or
woman, may have, there are little touches
which should come from one's self, and which
give originality. Women should be edu.
Gated to q higher sense of color md form.
Even IN ugly woman should be taught tha,
1t is her duty to make her ngliness us little
disngreeable as possible. A lady Of rant
once said: "f 1 were never 80 poor and had
to sew my own gowns, and make them OF
serge or dimity, l would cut them SO that
Gigorgione or Gainsborough, wcro they
living, might look ut me with complaccncy
or ut all events without n shuddcr. 1t IL
not half SO much question of material. o.
it is of taste" fE
Women are reproached with thinking to-.
much about dress, but the real truth is
they do not think enough about it, in the
right way. 1t is the duty of every woman
10 make herself as full of grace rs she can
all canpot be lovely, but none need be On
tirely unlovely.

The Philadelphia Times has had
seventeen libel cases in the three years

Of them with verdict in It's favor. The
prosecutors Of the Times were men who
had betrayed important trusts as public

The parties who sued the Times Tor

were stealing fodder from al the other
racks, and they took il as the height OF
impudence ~ we'll as q personal wrong

The Times has taken high ground in

Herald Berlin correspondent; Ever
since the beginning Of the Eastern COM
phcationS have maintained that BIS
marck, not caring 4 fig for them, IS only
ruled by the one thought of preventing
France from forming any alliance IN her
war Of revenge against Germany. by
founding the "Frri Kaiser Bpnd, The
chief object Of which aims At setting all
important international questions IN ac-
cordance with previous agreements be-
tween the contracting parties, Bismarck
succeeded in iSolating France and bind
ing Russia and Auslro-Hungary by
strong ties Of friendship 20 his country.
do not 20 so far rs 10 aver that Bis
marck Intentionally thrust Russia into
the war, but | cannot help admitting
that he must inwardly chuckle NJ seeing
the Gar, who liked 70 pose himself as
the arbiter OF Europe, entangled ina con-
flict so ruinous 10 RuSsiA's power and
credit. Nothing could have happened
more advantageous 10 Germany than
the difficulty experienced by the Car
in overcoming has adversary, rightly or
wrongly considered the weakest among
the great European Powers. No victory
ever so glorious can remove from Russia 5
fame the tarnish Of having been for
months held at bay By the Ottoman :,
at first so despised by them.
THE THREE KMPERoRs' ALLIANCE.
However the war may end, we may be
sure Russia will be so crippled that she
will long hesitate before again unsheath-
ing her sword. As all the hopes Of
France for crushing her German foe
were centred on an alliance with Russia
one easily perceiyes what great profit
this country has gained by the Iurco>
Russian campaign, not only humbIng
the Porte but weakening Russia and
rendering her unfit for new Warllke en-
terprises during the next decade al least.
On q conclusion OF peace, for which
preparations are undoubtedly already
making, Bismarck and Andrassy will
quietly step in between the contestants
and name the terms on which they will
admit q reconstruction OF the political
state Of affairs on the Balkan Peninsula.
Without being averse 10 Russia com
pensating herself 10 some degree for
enormous losses sustained, these two
statesmen will, nevertheless, not sane
ton any territorial aggrandizement OF
their good and faithful ally in European
Turkey. II the Car should therefore
insist on acquiring new territories he
will have TO turn TO Asia, where any ex-
tension ofhis empire, far from strength
ening its power, involves great expendi-
lures and pecuniary sacrifices, owing TO
these countries not being in 4 position
to raise the means necessary for their
self-administration The late Gar Mich
olas, the father of the present Russian
Emperor, who in lS49, was chiefly in
ia crushing the Hungarian
revolt, only few years later had the sad
ofcomplaining OF Austria's
ingratitude in making common cause
with his enemies during the Crimean
war. Itappears as if a like feeling will
not be spared his son.
