not yet been sufficiently developed to demon

Indian troubles are likely to be serious enough
this Summer to prevent any considerable
progress being made towards the development

A DRESS woven from the webs of the
large spiders common in South Ameri-
ca, has been presented to Queen Vic
toria by the Empress of Brazil. It ex.
ceeds in fineness any manufactured silk
known, and is very handsome. Span
iards, nearly two hundred years ago, en-
desvored to make gloves, stockings and
other articles of spiders webs, but they
yielded SO little profit, and necessitsted
so much trouble that the manufacture
was abandoned. In ITO the calculation
was made that the webs of 100000 spi-
ders would be required for about forty
yards of silk. Such dresses are occa-
sionally seen in South America.

The Negro Not Wanted in Kansas.
Kansas City Times.

Kansas Sity Times
The excitement in Wyandotte over
the colored trouble is steadily on the
increase. The best of friends differ, md
loud and angry words are heard on the
streets, in Offices, stores, and, in fact,
everywhere. The action of the relief
committee in having Mayor Stockton
withdraw his proclamation regarding
the landing of cOlored fugitives has
created general dissatisfaction, as it il
considered an open invitation for all
boats to land colored immigrant paupers
on the Wyandotte shore. The majority
of the citizens deemed it necessary that
prompt action be taken in regard to pro-
hibiting the landing of the coleIe PEOPLE
on the " Durfee." About seven o'clock
on Monday night that loDg.expected
boat reached WysDdotte. As soon ss
she touched shore, as agreed upon by
number of citizens, Capt. Nelson inter-
viewed Capt. Keith of the boat, explain
ing to him the situation OF affairs, stat
ing the excited condition the people
were in, and requesting him not to land
any more darkies at Wyaudotte. At
first the captain objected, but after con-
sideration concluded he would not land,
and, therefore, dropped down the stream,
and landed about 24O passengers at the
old Bigger packing house, in Ksnsa5
City, Kansas. As may be imagined the
citizens there were very indignant at
the proceeding, but had to do as Wyan--
dotte had done, accept the situation.
The class that arrived are mostly from
the Mississippi, and of the same order 81
the former arrivals. Four OF their num-
Der had died on the way up, and were
carrie on shore TO be buried in Kansas
soil. There are few sick, but generally
they are healthy; their ideas are mucn
the same as those who arrived here some
weeks since, and all are after the 100
acres OF land and a mule team. What
Kansas City, Kansas, is going to do with
them has not been learned, although it
is stated the negroes will be sent south
west this morning. Wysndotte will ship
the balance of her immigrants over the
Fort Scott road this morning. This will
clear her OF this trouble.
There were several gentlemen from a
distance in Wy andotte yesterday offering
advice, and 10 doubt kindly meant, but
in reality only taking up the time Of the
committee and doing no good. Wyan-
dotte is small, but It seems to be the
opinion there that she can regulate her
own afsirs. Send her no more negroes,
and she wants no more money or sym
PATTY. the citizens seem determined
that their thriving little city shall not
be made rende zVous for coiored pans
pers. In this they are backed by the
entire resident colored population, and
therefore, after the shipment OF the inn
migrants this morning, viii need no
further pecuniary assistance, as no more
will be Landed there. Ii a few of the
crazy looms who keep shouting, " Bring
ON your colored people, we will help
them, . etc., could be sent to the Ossao
watamie Asylum, the trouble would die
out in a few days, and all would be
quiet.

The difference between Chill on one
side and Bolivia and Peru on the other,
which have just eliminated in declars-
tion of war, began some months ago in
the taxaticH by Bolivia nll;;ii, of the product
of nitrate deposits held by Chilians in
southern Bolivia. A treaty has existed
between Chill aud Bolivia exempting
this property when in the hands of
Gillian subjects from any but municipal
taxation, and it is the inirsction of this
treaty by the imposition of an export
duty which leads to this war. The war
will practically be between Peru and
Chill, Bolivia having no navy and an
army OF but three thousand men.

A FRENCH chemist last year exposed
a quantity of -four to hydraulic pres
sure of 800 tons, which rednced it to a
fourth of its original bulk, without i'm
pairing the quality. He packed por-
ton of it in tin boxes and sealed it up,
doing the same with Impressed -four.
When opened in three month 8 the for
mer was in better preservation than the
latter. When baked into bread, the
pressed article was decidedly superior.
After the laps of a year other cans were
opened, and the Impressed -four had be.
come spoiled, while the pressed remained
sweet and was excellent when baked.

Gray, the WOuld-be Assassin of Edwin
Booth.
Chicago Times.

The mOnoDania theory is the fayorite
one. 1t is supposed that Gray was itch
ing for nOtoIiety, He had no Coabt r.
marked the nOtOriety awarded Curry,
who, in cold blood, murdered the actor,
B. q. Porter, and dangerously wounded
his companion. Barrymore, snd may have
had desire to achieve notice in like
fashion. He knew that even an attempt
on the life ofsO prominent parsonage as
Edwin Booth would bring him into ex-
ceptiOnal prominence, and, although he
insisted tina. his purpose was to kill the
actor, it is by no means certain that such
was really his purpose, since the wonder
is, owing to his proximity to Mr.. Booth
and the clear light in which he was pre-
sented at the time, how he could have
missed his mark, be his Workmanship.
ever so Indifferent. The first discharge
was 50 wild that the bullet mark can not
even now be discovered, and the next
shot went several feet above the actors
head. Be this as it may, nOtoriety was
evidently the point aimed at more tlan
the man, aud this he has succeeded in
achieving to a degree to satisfy the most
consuming d. sire in that direction
1t has also been learned that Gray was
decidedly stage struck. He imagined
himself a great actor-perhaps the
''cCming man" A victim to his own
concert he may have regarded Mr.. Booth
SIS & ri val 10 be rid of at any price, and
the fact that in a letter found or his
person he disparages Mr. Booths acting,
would seem to lend color to this bypoth-
esis. Ofcourse such jealousy could only
have found Judgment in a disOrdered
mind, and Sny theory that does not take
monomsnja, not to say insanity, into ac-
count, must either assume that there is
some wretched mistake at the bottom of
this matter, or that the would-be assassin
has really strong provocation for the
act-an assumption which, according TO
present knowledge is certainly most
grOundless.
To Mr.. Booth this attempt on his lie,
espe cially in view of the unenviable con-
nection of the family name with like
exploit, is an event that has almost I'M
manned him. Some un!eeling gossips
have started the hypothesis that the
whole affair is Gan ersising dodge"
but it is safe to say that MIR. Booth
would give years earnings 70 etface the
event of Wednesday night from his
memory. Mrs. Booth is quite i'll from
the effects of the fright to which her
susceptible nerves were subjected, and
it is to be hoped that no serious conse-
duences will tnsue.

Paint, Putty and Piejy.

A lady writes to the Christian at
Work: wish you would say word
about putting ones religion into ones
work. Last year I built new house
and got a protesting Christian man to
paint it. He makes good prayers at the
prayer-meetiugs, and says good word
of advice to- the young. But he didn't
fill the nail no es of the outer and upper
trimmings with putty, and he didn't
paint the top edge of the doors OF the
upper story. He took care to slight his
work where ne thought it would not be
discovered But the nails were drawn
out by the sun, causing leak, so that
his neglect in this direction wss discov.
cred then, having occasion to nave the
top of one door plsned so it might shut,
again his sighted work told its story. l
have discounted that mans piety and
prayers ever since. Perhaps this painter
treated me as be did because / am g
widow. Anyway, | prefer Christians

putty and paint the tops OF the upper

Bananas.

Few people who see bananas hanging
in the shops of fIuit dealers think o.
them as more than a tropical luxury.
The fact is, they are staple article OF
food in some parts OF the world; and,
according TO Humboldt, an acre OF ba>
nsnas will produce as much TODD TOR a
man a. twenty acres OF wheat. . 1t Is the
ease with which bananas are grown that
is the great obstacle to civilization In
some tropical countries. 1t is so easy to
obtain a living without work that no
effort will ever be made, and the men
become lazy and shiftless. All thSt Is
needed is to stick g sucker into the
ground, and it will at once spTout and
grow, and ripen its fruit in twelve or
thirteen months without further care,
each plant having from seventY-hve to
one hundred and twenty-five bananas ;
and. when that dies down after truiting.
new suckers spring up to take its place.
In regions where no foot ever reaches,
bananas are found in all stages of growth,
ripening their fruit every day and every
month in the year.
