This charming young actress, native of
our city. reached here last night. She will
appear III Angeles Hall in about two weeks
supported by Rhine company, in Man, the
Good for Nothing" Tanning the Shrew,"
"Scenes from Romeo and Juliet" Statute
scenes from Evadne," and her speciality,
''Sweethearts," which was written expressly
for her.
Miss Dickson made her first appearance
on the stage about two years ago at the Ma
tional Theatre. Washington City. in the
role of Rumor, in Henry V, supporting
George Rignold. The press at the time
were unanimous in their praise of her, and
in predicting for her a brilliant future in
her profession. Since that time she has ap-
peared at anumber of the first-class theatres
the country, among which we
mention Booths the Broadway, and the
Academy of Music, New York, the Arch
street, Philadelphia, and the Grand Opera
House, Baltimore. She has supported Ed
win Booth on a seven weeks tour, and John
L. Raymond on a five weeks tour. She has
just closed an engagement at Booths
Theatre, New York. We have no doubt
but that she will meet with hearty and
generous welcome here.

The Board OF Trustees Of the Public Schools

pleasant announcement TO the patrons of the
schools, that the sehools-as free schools-will
close during the month-the white schools on

The school funds available will be hardly suf-

three months for the small tuition fee of from
81 90 10 50 % per month, according to grade.

classes as now organized.

The Legislature has not been unmindful
of the solid and substantial interest of this
section. The above enterprise il, of all
others, the most overwhelming and i'm
portant in its effects, present and prospect
i've, on all sea shore interests. To this sec
ton, its successful Inauguration and COM
pletion mean increased population, wealth
and commercial and political Importance.
The completion of this road will not only
link the Mississippi sea-board with the
richest and most prosperous sections of this
State, but will also connect It directly with
g number of the most prosperous and power

dispute. establish a large and direct COM

Judge T. n. Martin in the Houston
Patriot

That the building of this railroad il
matter of State-not to say Of National inn
portance. must be conceded by all our peo-
pie, None would now deny that the great
est blunder ever made by our State and
people consists i'm the failure TO build the
railroad forty years ago. We have been the
jealous advocate of that great State enter
prise ever since the year 184e, aud it would
be useless for 10 to say that we regard that
measure as one OF State Importance aud
actions Of our whole people.

THE CITY HOTEL.-While on a re.

pleasure of soiOurning at this fine hotel,
than which there is no better in the
South. 1t was crowded to Overlooking, and
many of the guests we noticed were from
Mississippi The prOprietors, Messr7. Wat
son q Mumtord, and the popular clerk, Mr.
Finn, all of whom know so well show to
keep hotel,' were as busy as bees, but,
nevertheless, had time, as they always have,
to make each one of the guests of the hotel
feel at home. This fact, connected with its
splendid cuisine, accounts for the ever-in-
creasing popularity of the City.

In reponse TO the earnest and untiring
requests from the press and people from ev-
cry County n Kansas, the Hon. John \.
Martin, OF the Atohison Cham gign, has for
mally consented TO be a candidate before
the Republican State Convention for the
Office OF Governor. For some time he has
declined to be 4 candidate for this or any
other Office, but when the newspapers Of
Kansas unanimously go after thing they
generally bring it right along, and in
this case they undoubtedly accom-
plished one OF the best things for
our young State that could have
been done. Johu \. Martin will be the
choice OF the convention, as he is the choice
of the people, and the election of such a
warm-hearted, whole-souled, good and true
man as Mr.. Martin in place of the cold
blooded, egotistical "red-taped' bigot as
now disgraces the gubernatorial chair will
be victory which any State might well be
proud But there is no need Of argument
on this question. John A. Martin will be
nominated and elected, and will be the
pride OF our State. And don't you forget

forth such torrent OF eloquence az can
only fall from lips, touched by Goals from
off the altar fires of humanity, He evident

race Perhaps from scientific point Of
view this lecture might be considered a
failure, but from human standpoint it
still remains unequailed by anything /

one Of the pet sons OF the slaveocracy-a
scion from Virginia stock-who, having
Just graduated at Columbis College, had
come north to see how people lived who
had no slaves. He entered the church
wrapped about with the rhinoceros hide Of
self complacency, wondering ''whst sort Of
fellows those agitators were" He left it
singularly disinclined for cnn-
versation, but with the look uia.l
his face of man who had found that It,re
were more things 'twixt heaven and Garth
than he had dreamed of in his T,hiLosophy.
When learned, years afterwards, thai he
had sacrificed his right eye in defense Of the
Union ard the principle which Burleigh
preached, could but wonder if that was
part of the harvest reaped from seed sown
that day.
But Burleigh is gone One by one that
noble band is being called away. Those
men were eloquent because they we're in
earnest, and gave their lives un'c'f-hly TO
the cause OF the oppressed. FIt subjects
ever for scorn, persecution and ridIcule,
from the mob, who cannot comprehend the
nobAness Of principles which DO not imme-

est schemes Of the most ha;r-brained Of
those so-called fanatics would have cost our
nation In blood and treasure what il has
had 10 pav. They were scoraed and con-
temued, but to-day the URanswerable logic
OF events, comparing them with the adher-
ents of the cowardly policy Of expediercy,
gives them highest honor. Would that the
agitators OF the question Of Capital and

to say of George A. Crawford's lecture, re-

Mr.. Crawford began at the very beginning,
showed the great difficulties under which
the Kansas Commissioners had to labor, led
the audience through IL all, and described
the different portion OF the Kansas exhibit rs
well rs many other things In the exhibition
with masters hand, and made It almost as
real as though il were all right before your
eyes. Toward the close he dwelt with much
earnestnea and enthusiasm on the great
victory for Kansas, and Of its beneficial re-
sulfs toour State, in the way of emigration.
increased population, capital, etc. Mr.. C..
could do an immense amount of good for
Kansas If he would consent to deliver his
lecture through the older States, and 1t would
he paying investment for Kansas as State
to send him out to do this work. He would
be n whole immigration bureau in himself,
and the benefits that would accrue to our
State would be fully an hundred fold.

and more degrading than another it is the
one of professional blackmailing. The at
tempt recently made in this city TO force
churches and merchants TO advertise in pa

iOrily tOr Martin.

1t is now authorita,iyely asserted that
Col. John A. Martin, of Atchison, will be
candidate for Governor. A few weeks ago,
in referring to the Governorship matter, We
stated that there were one or two men whom
we would rather support than the present
incumbent, and the chiefest among those We
had in mind was Col. Martin; but We un-
derstood at the time he would not be a can
didate. Anthony has made a good Governor,
and We have deprecated the fight made
upon him by his enemies; but We cannot
permit sympathy to go so far as to prevent
US from declaring for the candidate of our
choice for the position. Col. Martin has
the personal qualities, the character, ability
aud patriotism TO make for Kansas model
governor. Besides, he is popular. If non-
inated..he will roll up such Apaiority for
the Republican ticket as will dfssipate the
hopes internal dissentions have inspired in
the bosoms of the Democracy. Kansas is
Republican all over, and it is time that she
should come to the front and show her col
ors by good rou.ing majority.

How TO Wake Coed Country soad-.
EDITOR TIMES An occasional item from
Tongapoxie may not be without interes. 10
your readers, as | see you have subscribers
in this part and correspondents too for
aught | know. The item | would have you
publish first is with reference to the condi-
tion of the public roads and the manner of
this treatment
Those who are accustomed 10 travelling on
the roads in the high parts OF the state-the
best natural roads in this or perhaps any
countrv-are surprised TO find the roads
here almost impossible q good portion OF
the year. They do not consider the numer-
Gus springs, the clayey soil and the steep
hills TO surmoUnt in making roads here,
vet. they have reason TO expect that when
wagon roads are OF so much Importance 10
both city and country, heavier tax should
be levied, or that already collected applied
to better advantage.
The latter it would seem should be at
tempted at least before the former as resort
ed TO. From personal observation We
think the following suggestion proper:
Let the roads be ditched on both sides rs
lar as possible. anu ln-ledu Ol plONlDS tne
middle or whole of the road, let the work
be applied on the bitches. Again when
there is gully forming across the road let
Il box or hume, constructed OF pianks be
inserted and the road raised slightly at that
point. These could be constructed ordi-
narily OF two inch plank, ten or twelve
inches wide and OF proper length for width
of road. Many places the water is diverted
from the natural channel or point at which
it should cross the road, and is carried so
far that the volume becomes too great for
the safety OF the road on one side and the
farms on the other. Where culvert can
not he made by spiking four planks to-
gether of sufficient size 10 convey the water,
let two planks form the sides and planks
cut IL pieces eighteen or twenty inches long
on anv desirable length from the top, and
inch boards corresponding in length 10 the
top form the bottom. This covered with
earth to the depth Of twelve or eighteen
inches will last many years. Other sug-
gestions | will refer 10 another time.

TIE GUTHRIE WING.

Willis Brown, chairman Of the commit
tee appointed by those who bolted from the
Abilene convention, has issued a call for a
meeting Of his committee to arrange for
Congressional convention. He calls his
committee to meet at the same time and
place indicated for the meeting OF the reg
ular committee, and when the two bodies
are thus brought together we presume they
will have no difficulty in agreeing upon the
arrangements for the convention. There
will be no objection, on the part Of any
body, 50 far as we know, to conferring with
he Guthrie committee, in regard to the
arrangements for the convention. The in
terests OF me party require harmony among
the Republicans Of the District.
