Sunday In Fra nee.

In recent vote the National Assembly
declared by a great majority for the total
abrogation Of ull laws which restrain the
people in the direction OF the religious OBJ
servance of Sunday-all laws by which any
labor done on Sunday was punishable, as
we'll as laws to compel the observance of
certain days held sacred as festivals of
the Roman Church. Should the measure
thus voted in the Assembly go safely
through the further stages of legislation
Sunday will be in France day as abso-
lutely free from any special relation to the
laws as any other day of the seven. 1t has
been general impression outside of France
that Sunday was already tolerably free day
in that country Indeed, hordes of good
Presbyterian parsons have from time i'm
memorial held Trance up to their congrega-
tions as the horrible example in regard
to the unparalleled wickedness of the
people there for not keeping Sunday
sacred on the Presbyterian plan. They
will perhaps be astonished to learn-as,
indeed, many Frenchmen themselves will
be-that under the law it is a misdemeanor
to labor on that day us we'll rs to exhibit
a similar disrespect for number of saints
days. The action of the Assembly was
taken on arguments which considered the
laws named as made in spirit of bigotry
and as denying the liberty-especially the
religious liberty of the people. They re-
quired the Jews to observe Christian festi-
walls against their convictions.

The Afghan War.

In the latest collisions reported between
the British troops in Afghanistan and the
native forces the troops did not exhibit
that easy superiority at all points which
has hitherto appeared as the striking
characteristic in the story of their opera
tions. They failed to make their usual
impression tactical movements ordered
were not accom- plished, because the resist
ance encountered could not be overcome
with the force at hand, aud movements to the
rear were SO precipitate that cannon were
abandoned on the field. This is admitted
in the official account, and it is therefore
reasonably safe to assume that the case was
in reality great deal worse than this.
Readers who recall the rules that wero re-
Gently declared to be binding upon corre-
spondents in Indian forces can understand
how much care is taken to render it
impossible that any fair account of
an English defeat shall ever reach the
public. Judging the news supplied in the
light of those instructions we must sup
pose that the British force was very roughly
handled indeed when official reports ad-
NIT that the troops did not have it all their
own way. 1t would be great misfortune
to the Indian forces to meet with any mis-
hap in Afghanistan at this season. Much
in the way of success would not be needed
to encourage and inspirit the Afghans; yet
such encouragement would give renewed
vigor to their part of the war.

SENATOR HAMPToN's DENIAL of General
Gary's charge of political infdelty to the dem
ocratic electoral ticket in South Carolina in
1876 is completely comprehensive. He pro-

evidence to support his assertions it is incum-
bent upon him to produce it forthwith or else to
withdraw them.

you publish the HERALD for the thou

many letters from Kansas thought
that / would also send you one, and
hope that you will give it place in
your valuable paper, which ] take so
much pleasure in reading. We live

others say that the Capital of the u.
S. will be moved here. | do not be.
lieve this yet, but as many of your
readers, in the spring, wish TO pro-
cure home in our western country,
would advise every one to come 10
Kansas and first see land and people,
before buying elsewhere. / read in
your paper that many OF your CORES
pondents bring Kansas below other
states bat they are ashamed to sign
their names. We do not deny that
there are places whore there is much
sickness especially in the southern
part along the river bottoms and
swampy places where nothing but
rattle snakes are healthy and even
they might have the fever and ague
for all that l know, ] wish they had.
do not believe there is as healthy
climate in the United States as west
and northwest Kansas. Since have

and the 18th of December we had
eight Inches Of snow. Then it was
cold for two weeks. The 18th of JAN

menced to plow and SOW wheat. The
people do not need to live in sod

house. There is plenty Of good coal
at $500 per tor: wood $3.50 per

deep for water; the average depth Is
40 feet. Wisconsin has no better land
thai we have here in this place,
which is named Pleasant Valley.
When / came here last GUNNER l
could count 80 houses from my door /;
now / can count IS dwellings-all
built from stone and frame, and many
houses of which the city Of Lancaster
would be proud. There is poor land
in Kansas for those who want it. It
sells at reduced prices. Farther than
IL miles from railroads no one should
buy land, for il he does he will be too
far from market. Kansas produced
81, 1000, 900 bushels OF wheat in 1878.
The wheat that is sowed looks beauti-
full and the prospect is good for
another good harvest. Oats and corn
were also very good crop last year.
Ii any one wishes to come to Kansas
he bad better come as soon as posi-.
BILE, for il March and April they SOW
oats and plant corn.
Now, friend HERALD, would write
more but | am afraid Of being buried
in the editors biz basket.
