Kansas still bleeds. The violent sur
Iroundings within which it entered in
to the sisterhOOd of States gave it a
sort of birthright OF sympathy. Its
progress was interrupted by the mer-
ciless march of grasshoppers and pota-
to bugs, and now fresh appeal is
made in its behalf on account Of the
devastating cyclone which recently
passed over portion Of the State.
Over fifty persons were killed and
more than hundred wounded by the
storm, and many more, it is believed,
were deprived of the fruits of many
months labor and left in a condition
appealing to the charitably'dispOsed.
Kansas has had serious misfortunes,
but the tide Of emigration in that di'
rection will probably not be arrested.
Its fertile fields have attractions for
the agriculturists which cOunterbal-

Newspaper men ought to know how
to overlook slip of the pen just as a
refined lady OverlOOks a slip of the
tongue. If a brother chip occasional.
ly makes mistake in throwing off a
paragraph, and manages to put in il
more poison than prudence, the better
course would be to let it pass unnO-
ticed. There is no use in taking the
poison when il is so apparent. As a
general thing, we are too much dis
posed to ignore the predominating
virtues of an individual in the busy
occupation of trying to discover his
faults, and it has grown too common
to estimate a man by the standard Of

The United States Signal Station
a Pixies Peak is the highest signal
Station in the world; il is also the
highest inhabited portion of the globe.
II was opened in the month of Sep

A government Office at Pixies Peak is

all storms and brave all weathers.
Occasionally an electric storm visits
the Peak. There is but little thunder
accompanying these storms, but the
mountain seems all on fire. Sergeant
Choate informs me that when he was

appeared as though the whole noun

An extraordinary story Is related
by a correspondent Of the Italian
Malone. writing from Lucca. Some
years ago a native Of Camajore emf
grated TO America, leaving behind a
wife and two children. Amer a time
he sent home 10 them, through the
priest Of his native place, 100 lire. A
lew months later this remittance was
followed by second. this time Of l..
900 lire, and at intervals aflerward
other sums were sent, making alto
gether a total Of more than %, 900
lire, or about 5000. The priest,
however. never gave the money "a

kept Il for himself, sending for the
woman and telling her with many con-
soling reflections. that her husband
was dead. At the same time be wrote
to the man informing him that his
family were dead. sending also with
his letter an official certificate Of their
death. Afier a time the man married
again, and a short time ago, having
prospered in business. he determined
TO revisit his native place. In due
time he arrived with his second wife
and family at Camajore, and went u
the principal inn in the town. As he
was walking out one day boy begged

OF the beggar seemed to.Ibe .fapiliar,
and. questioning the boy, he found
that il was bis own child, and that his
wife was living with the two children

poverty. The priest, thus found out

The Republicans tell US that they
are in favor Of preserving the purity
Of the ballot box, and Il is for this
reason they sustain the vetoes Of Mr..
Hayes.
How can this be9
Reason and experience unite in
teaching the impossibilitY Of fair and
free elections under the supervision Of
the army. England learned this les.
son so thoroughly that she banished
the armed soldiers from the polling
places. The whole world knows that
in France the elections were converted
into hollow mOckery under q system
Of surveillance adopted by Louis Ma.
poleon, and which the Republicans
are trying TO initiate in this country.
We have already had enough Of SOL
dier at the polls to know tia; the
practice is inconsistent with the en-
tirely free exercise Of the elective
franchise.
What consistency, then, is there in
a party protesting to mold dear the
purity of the ballot box and al the

SIeep.

The effects Of too much sleep are
not less signal than those arising from
its privation. The whole nervous
system becomes blunted so that the
muscular energy is enfeebled, and the
moral and intellectual manifestations
are cbtunded. All the bad effects Of
inaction become developed; the func.
tons are exerted with less energy; the
digestion is torpid, the excretions are
diminished, whilst in some instances
the secretion Of fat accumulates TO an
inordinate extent. The memory is
impaired, the powers Of imagination
are dormant, and the mind falls into
a kind Of hebefude, chiefly because
the functions Of the intellect are not
sufficiently exerted when sleep is too
prolonged or too often repeated. To
sleep much is not necessarily TO be a
good sleeper. Generally they are the
poorest sleepers who remain longest in
bed. !. e., they awaken less refreshed
than If the time Of arising were earli-
er by an hour or two. While ii is
true that children require more sleep
than their elders, Il should be the care

The Electric Lioht Ia Fs.h market


In the celebrated Billingsgate Fish
Market in London, the electric light
proved a complete failure, for the UNI
expected reason that II was too good.
Business at Billingsgate begins at 3
o'clock in the morning, most Of the
bargains being struck by gaslight.
When the searching electric candle
was turned on, its brilliant whiteness
literally showed the fish in such new
light that the trade was demoralized
outright. Soles that would have
fetched a shilling pair by gaslight
looked dear at sixpence, while turbot
fresh from the sea looked a week old.
The result was a general cutlery. The
copious and ornate dialect OF the To-
eality was enriched by a number Of
notable additions during the few days
of the new light; and for fear of a re-
volt among the "bummarees,' as the
fish statesmen are called, the corpora
ton was obliged to restore the famil'
lar yellow gas lights. -(scientifiC

brilliant orb sparkled so brightly and

him, and there, having squandered all
her property, he one night decamped,

He loved, she loved, they loved
Robert Bascot and Eugene Delaine,
Of one Of the parishes suburban to
New Orleans. Robert was tolcrable
young fellow in the eyes Of Eugenie's
parents, but for some unknown reason
they opposed the match, and last week
determined TO take their daughter to
Chicago, where her aunt would direct
the daughter upon less romantic
things. On Monday the Delaine
family embarked at New Orleans for
a steamboat trip as far as st. Louis.
The lover waved his heart and sighed
his handkerchief at the departing
boat. Old Delaine saw him, and
chuckled in his sleeve. That night
the boat moored at a town up the Mis-
sissippi. Eugene rubbed her pretty
little eyes, and complaining to papa
and mama that she was sleepy, alice
tiOnately kissed them good night and
retired to her state-room. The gen.
tleman, having paced the deck for an
hour, threw away his cigar to go to
bed. He was not apprehensive, but
thought it would do no harm To look
into Eugenie's room, and did 50, when
lol she was non est, gone-eloped.
Robert had sped up the river by rail,
and, according to an understanding,
had claimed his bride. Next morn
ing the runaways returned to the stea-
mer with the marriage certificate.

The south. Hopeful Future.

A matter Of great interest to New
England, and vital Importance to the
South, is the rapid increase in cotton
mills in the States South OF the Poto-
mac. North Carolina has fifty mills,
and in all there are reported one hun
dred and eighty-three erected since
the war in the cotton-growing States.
This is the only opportunity of the
South. Let principles Of economy be
observed in State and municipal gov
eminent; let capitalists be assured that
they will not be burdened by enor-
nous taxes; let law and order prevail
as in New England, and there is no
reason why the region where cotton
grows at the factory door, where riv-
ers turn the mill wheels, and the adj
jacent fields furnish the operatives
with the staff Of life, can not compete
successfully with the territory Eas, Of
the Hudson, which brings its cotton a
thousand miles for manufacture, buys
its fuel FIVE hundred miles away, and
transports the ft'Od of its laborers half
way across the continent. The out
look in the Southern States is hopeful,
and they must have a great future he.
