A Private Detectives Method of Work.

Mr.. A. j. P. Garesche is still hard at
work obtaining testimony with which
to secure Communication of the sentence
OF death passed upon Joseph Degonia
for the murder of Jules Polite. He had
secured the names of several we'll
known physicians who are of the
opinion that Polite died from the effects
of fall which he received on the night
of his death instead of from the injuries
inflicted by Degonia's knife. The other
day, while Mr.. Garesche was seated in
his office, there entered an individual
whom Mr.. Garesche had often met, but
to whom he had never had the pleasure
of being introduced.
"Good morning." said the visitor,
"Mr. Garesche, believe 2"
''You are correct in your belief, sir
Be seated.n
The stranger took a chair. He in
formed the attorney that he was a
private detective, and that he had
called on the Degonia business. He
offered to clear the condemned man
for 500.
"How would you do it ?" said he.
81 would go down to Potosi," said
the detective, "dig up Politics body,
break his neck then you could insist
upon post mortem examination being
held on the remains, which would of
course result in the exoneration of your
client"
"Indeed," said Mr.. Garesche, "do
you often do business in that way,
sir ?"
I'VE do, indeed, sir; operations of
this character belong to our regular
line of business"
81 am astonished to hear it, sir.
Leave me your card, sir. 1 would like
to advertise you"
The detective saw that Mr.. Garesche
was getting angry, and thought best to
leave the premises at once without
leaving his card.-St. Louis Republican.

Kansas Letter.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, Aug. IL, 1879.
Mr.. Editor Since my former letter
in which 1 stated that I thought as
much damage was probably done in
the East by storms and freshets as in
the West by cyclones, ETC., see by the
papers that New England has been
visited by some very severe storms,
resulting in great loss of life and
property, and L have advised some of
my Vermont friends to come West to
escape such dangers!
The increase of population in this
state is almost incredible to an Eastern
person. The number of inhabitants in
1855 was 6,601,-the present number
about 100000! Increase in twenty -four
years of 9 9,20I per cent; annual average
increase in twenty-four years 383 per
cent. Sumner county, near the middle
of the Southern border, had popula-
ton in 1872 of % persons,-in 1873 the
inhabitants numbered 12,078 persons.
An increase in six yeais of $4,000 per
cent.,an average of o,15O por cont.
yearly!
The agricultural productions of Kan
sas have reached immense quantities.

A beautiful young wife on the North
Side has expended much ingenuity in
devising a scheme to keep her husband
at home nights and it proved very
cffectual. She fatters her liege lord
about the eXquisitely dainty proper
tiOns of his feet, and induces him to
wear boots two sizes two small for him.
He is on his feet all day long in town,
and when he gets home at night she has
soft chair and a pair of loose, cool
slippers for him, and by the time he,
with great drops of agony pearling his
brow, has got off his boots he comes to
the conclusion that there is no place
like home, after all, and he has no de-
sire to go down town to the lodge OF to
sit up with a sick friend.-Chicago 1ri-

State Assessor Briggs says that if the
board of which he is member were
permitted to tax humbugs, enough
money could be raised in one year to
wipe out all the state, county, city and
village debts, refund all the money con-
tributed to build the Midland Railroad,
and give to every man, woman and
child in New York bull pup, a veloci-
pede and silver-plated assegai.

and this state few years ago was
part of the "Great american DeSert"!
referred in my previous letter to
the rapid growth of vegetation and l
may add that it reaches a size unknown
in New England. On the 28th day of
June l measured stalk of corn thirty
nine days from seed which was eight
feet one inch in height. At maturity
corn sometimes measures twenty feet.
Acre after acre can be found which will
average twelve to fourteen feet. l have
just measured stalk of coarse prairie
grass seven feet ten inches in length.
Of course weeds make as remarkable
growth as do cultivated crops. The
sides of many country loads are lined
with a so-called wild sun-flower which
is often ten feet high, and growing close
to the wagon track makes, us it were, Il
| sort of curtain.
Frequent rains in the early part of
summer have ensured an abundant crop
of corn and on the whole, agricultural
results will this year, be satisfactory.
Horticulture has not, however, been
successful owing to the unusual severity
of last winter. The only abundant fruit
crop this year is the grape, now ripen-
ing and temptingly luciOus. The fen
! apples remind me of the magnificent
fruit seen in the Kansas building at the
Centennial and give promise of what
may be expected in favorable season.
We have probably seen our hottest
weather. Monday August 4th was our
hottest day. The thermometer on the
north side of our building, where there
was no reflected heat, reached just
1OOo F. But the day was not nearly
us oppressive as the shot days" at the
North, owing to the dryness of the air
and its constant motion. There was
none of the close, sultry, ''muggy" con-
dition of the air which makes the heat
in the East so oppressive. To be sure
the sun in the middle of the day is very
powerful and those unaccustomed to
it must guard against exposure. This
hot day was followed by change OF
wind and we are now having delightful
weather. The sky is clear and bright,
but pleasantly cool winds temper its
heat and make it comfortable even at
midday. The nights are just fitted fol
refreshing sleep and there is entire
freedom from anything like the fogs
which are so prevalent and unhealthful
in New England at this season of the
year. The roads are dry and firm the
wide-rolling expanse of country par
ticularly beautiful and all our sur
rOundings seem to possess a peculiar
charm for Eastern eyes. If we have
uncomfortable weather and impossible
roads in winter l will be honest and tell
you of it. B. d. E.
