Walnu. Timber.

a Michigan farmer recently sold
large walnut tree for which he received
$50. Walnut trees grow in Kansas,
with remarks able vigor and thrift. The
soil and climate OF Kansas seem TO be
especially favorable to this variety OF
timber. There are numerous groves OF
walnut in this STATE, planted only ten
years ago, that are almost large enough
for commercial uses. Walnut timber is
very valuable. 1t commands, at oil
times, the best prices, because il is now
so generally utilized in the manufacture
of furniture, and for building purposes.
Kansas farmers ought to give attention
to its culture. A few bushels Of walnu;s
planted and properly attended 70 for q
few years, will produce valuable grove
Of walnut trees, adding largely 10 the
value OF farm.-Atchison Champion.

Tho following, which We clip from
the Topeka Blade, is powerful state
ment Of an uudoubted fact.
1t may we'll be said, dpropos of the
labor and capital difficulties just begin
ming in this country, that, no matter
what the orthodox political economists
may say concerning the necessity of the
selfish principle in commerce, 1t is the
worst principle in the world to accept
as a universal guide of Indididual and
national conduct. There is no force more
disintegrating when allowed Its full
sway, than the force Of sel6shness, pu,
ct simple. No matter hoo admirably
organized the government, or how we'll
adjusted the machinery Of society, If
individuals refuse to consult any inter-
ests save their own, or to be guided by
any influence except their passing in
clinaiions, deadlock is put upon all
progress, an utter and universal ruin
must follow. No constitution and no
soc al system could exist for even one
year, in any country, il every indiSid-
ual therein should demand every iots
of privilege that the Law allowed him
and refuse 10 yield one title more than
,he law could wiring from him. IL is
mutual concession alone that makes lite
among our fellow beings tolerable, and
organized government and Ill the ad
vancement OF civilization possible. The
tact is worthy our careful, individual,
consideration. Ii may teach those. OF
Us who have the improvement, of our
race and time u, heart that there is no
real guarantee for reform save In in
dIvidual character, in lifting each man
from low aims and desires to Ioftier
ones, in raising him to y higher plane
of life.

The Beds OF Antiquity.

About tho earliest data that we have
concerning beds are of Egyptian origin.
and they are very slight. Sir Gardiner
Wilkinson thinks that the Egyptians
usually slept on their day-couches.
which were long and straight, some.
times with back, sometimes with carv.
ing of the heads and feet of animals at
the ends, made of bronze, of alabaster,
of gold and ivory, of lnlaid wood, and
and richly cushioned. Where these
were not in use, mats replaced them, or
low pallets made of palm boughs, with
o wooden pillow followed out for the
head. What Egypt had, the Assyrian
and tho rest of the world had; and the
Greek, whenever he could, improved
upon their countries notions; and the
Greek couch, judging from the bas-re-
leifs on many vases, were of great ele-
gance. The Romans, although receiv-
ing 80 many of their customs and SO
much of their art from Greece, had very
simple beds until after their eastern
Indeed beds which, with
their pillows, were merely bellows in a
slab of stone, have been found among
Roman .emains. But from the period
when their Asiatic dominion increased,
the Romans borrowed fashions from
the conquered, and they developed a
strong taste for luxury, especially in
tho matter of beds. Examples of the
form of bed were still preserved
10 the days of Charlemagne. In the
Of course, in the barbaric
life or Northern and Western Europe,
these forms generally being lost, it was
IN advance in civilization when the bench
became tho bed, and people were tastid-
ous enough at las, to feel above sleep
ing on bundles of straw or heaps OF skin
,pon flags.

The House committee on education
and labor have instructed Goode, chair
man, to report bill providing that the
net proceeds of the sales of public
lands shall be forever consecrated and
set apart for the education of the peo-
pie. The act is not to have any effect
to repeal, impair or suspend any law
authorizing presumption Of public lands,
or entry Of public lands for homestead,
nor a. limiting in any manner the pow
or of congress to alter or to extend the
right of homestead upon such lands
nor shall it be held to limit or abridge
the power of congress over the public
domain, or interfere with the granting
of bounty lands. The secretary of the
treasury is required, on or before the
3lst of July OF each year, to apportion
to the several states and territories,
and to the District of Columbia, upon
the basis of population in said states
and territories between the ages of five
and twenty-one years, the net proceeds
of the sales of public lands for the pre-
vious year provided that after five
years half OF said net proceeds, and at
ter ten years the whole of the same
shall be set apart as an educational
fund, which said fund shall be invested
in bonds of the United States, bearing
q rate of interest not less than four pei
cent. per annum, both principal and in
forest payable in coin ; the interest Oh
such educational fund only to be appro
priated rs above provided and that for
the first ton years the distribution OF
the net proceeds and interest on the
fund to and among the several states.
territories and Distrir: of Columbia
shall be madc according to the number
of their population of ten years old and
upwards, who cannot read and write, a.
shown from time to time by the last
preceding census of the United States;
tho first appointment TO be made on or
before July, 1878, when the states and
territories shall be entitled to receive
their distribution. Goode will offer an
providing that one-fourth of
the monies appropriated by this bill
shall be given to agricultural colleges
and institutions of learning established
in accordance with the act Of congress
of July I'd, 1862, unless in any case the
state legislature shall otherwise direct.

In the year 1880. the planets Jupiter
Uranus, Saturn and Neptune will be
colncidenf in their periheIion. that is,
each one of these planets will be nearest
the sun at the same time. This has no,
occurred since about l25 years before
the birth OF Christ. Those who have
given their attention and study TO
this matter, and bavo traced the his
tory of epidemic diseases, And them to
occur at the time OF the periheiion oil
one or more of these planets. The
theory is that when one or more OF
these large planets Is nearest the sun.
the temperature and condition of our
atmosphere are so disturbed as to cause
injurious yicissitudes, terrible rains,
prolonged droughts, etc., resulting in
the destruction of crops and pestilcnce
among human beings and domestic ami
mails. Now why should not this be?
The planet Jupiter is about 400 times
the size of our earth. Sautrn is 1000
times, and Uranus 81 times larger than
our earth and when the conjoint peri
helion of all four of these planets takes
place, is il strange that great atmos-
pheric disturbances should occur, and
that diseases injurious to health and
life should prevail to an unusual extent
We know that these periods have here
tofore been productive of pestiIence
and wide spread desolatIon and death.
These facts all history attests. In the
sixth century and in the sixteenth CEN
fury, three OF these planets were CO.
incident in periheiion, and pestilence
ragged at o most fearful rate Then if
Vitality is to be put to such q severe
test in 1880, it becomes people TO live
practice hygiene and closely
observe good sanitary conditions; for
in time Of pestilence, the intemperate,
the dissipated and imprudent ones are
the first to die.-Paola Republican.

A Berlin correspondent says that the
the Germans and Russians are IN the
habit Of calling Great Britain "a factory
and seaport" BY way of contempt. II
may be remembered that Napoleon was
in the habit Of referring to the British
as ga nation of shop-keepers." II is re-
corded in history however, that this ma
ton of shop-keepers subseq uently went
into the business of keeping private
boarding. house at st. Helena. The
Russo German taunt that Great Britain
is nothing but factory and . seaport,
may ultimately become ~ sad and SOL
emn as Napoleon's little joke did.
Whom Napoleon was on his way to
Charleroi, shortly before Waterloo, he
remarked to Soult that he would de-
stroy Wellington first and then turn his
face toward Dresden. Soult looked
solemn and did not reply.
"what are You brooding over :" in
qulrcd Napoleon impatiently.
81 was thinking of Spain and the
Pyrenees, sire," replied Soult.
"WeiI, well" reior,ed the Emperor,
al could not be everywhere"
"True, SIRE" said Soult. "But the
English can. You do not know them
"a well as do"
II is probable that the inflated Courts
of Berlin and ST. Petersburg may kno "

than they do now-Washington Post.

A Colorado Desert.

This is u story to illustrate tho posi-
billties of the Colorado Desert: "Some
three years ago, q wandering home hun
ter, having sold out his rude homestead
IN Los Angeles county, rugged up q
team with good supply OF yearling
nursery trees, seeds, &C., intending to
go to Arizona, with his wife and two
children. His way was through this
desert. Resting ono day to recruit his
horses where q few bushes offered
browsing, his children amused them
selves digging u hole. The mother no
ticed that the loamy sand was moist. In
q few minutes she drove 8 crowbar
down four feet below tho hole and
struck water. wisp of straw inserted
brought up by capillary attraction
enough to prove the water good and TO
quench thirst. Next day they dug a
well, and at SIX feet found water plenty
on the third day. at this miserable
soil would grow anything, We might
squat here" said they. While debating
a green spot appeared. 1t was the
horses oats and hay seed which, with
spilled water, had grown to q lively
green on thetourth day. where oats and
grass grow everything will grow; let
us pitch our tentrighthere.' And they
did so. Very rude culture, with water,
gave them in sixty days vegetables
enough for year. From this rude be.
ginning, see now, 1878, how quickly in.
dustry, with trifing coin, can realize q
Iuxuriant home in climate which
knows no winter, and where vegetable
growth is as active in December as in
April. Already he has grapes, apples,
peaches and bananas. Alfalfa clover he
cuts every month. Stacks OF hay, cows,
sheep, pigs, and fowls mako it look like
a rich farm long established"
