DIR. LEDoUX's REpoRT-AN OVER Es-
INNATE. yesterdays mail brought letter
from DIR. A. K. Ledoux, Director of the
State Fertilizer Station, complaining that
our estimnte of the cost of his report was
too high. He writes: 9 The t0tal cost Of
paRer, printing and postage, ,cas 1919 GO.
This is certainly very cheap work The
publisher informs us that the PRINTING bill
alone, was $455. 49, he could not tell anything
about the cost Of the paper, the postage,
the wrappers, etc. But, of course, we ac-
cept DIR. Ledoux statement
Our estimate was based upon the cost of
Col. Polk's hand book. l. e., 5000 for
5000 copies, not including the paper, the
maps, the wrappers and the postage; very
cheap job, as Col. Polk and many Others
considered. 1t seemed only reasonable that
if Col. Folks pamphlet of 900 pages cost
above $4,000, the cost of Prof Ledoux's
report, 2l7 (same size pages pages, 5000
copies, would run to at least $500
However, as we regard the Chapel Hill
Laboratory as perhaps the most useful end
OF the Department, we refrain from further
remark at present.

rested, examined, and discharged at Chapel
Hill on charge brought by Col, T. B.
Long of the P. O. Department, to the eff
feet that he had mailed number Of postal
cards sandering young ladies. We learn
that he was only tried on one of these
charges; and having eft Chapel Hill was
rearrested in Richmond, and brought back
1t seems he took offence at the refusal Of
a couple of young ladies visiting at the Hill,
to associate with him, and in revenge wrote
postals, which were mailed at Raleigh,
HiIlsboro, Durham, and elsewhere, bearing
forged or fictitious names, stating that the
young ladies ought to send for their babies
which we're sick, badly treated etc.
1t is to be hoped, as some think, the
young man is partially demented.

RAINS, CROPS AND THINGS.

PEOTONE, June 20, 1879.
To the Editor Of the Eagle:
Our harvest is very near over, and as
nothing can be done outdoors ! thought
to pen you few items
The wheat crop is rather light, but
corn has been doing splendidly.
Day before yesterday fine rain fell,
which revived everything
Ground in splendid condition to finish
up breaking aud preparing for another
crop OF wheat.
The oats looks rather poorly, but it is
hoped these rains will improve it.
There are some grasshoppers and
chinch bugs on our crops, but their raw
ages are stopped with the rains.
Some of the Sunday schools around
here anticipate celebrating the Fourth
at Silas Sackett's ford.
Mrs. Howe and daughter left here
last Monday to attend at the sick bed Of
Mrs. HIS father, in LaSalle county, Hi
nOis, and at the same time will attend
law suit that is pending in the district
court of that county, in which Mrs. II.
is the plaintiff and the G.. Il. T. railroad
company is defendant, the suit being
for damages which Mrs. II. sustained in
losing her husband, who was accidental
ly killed by the company's train on his
own farm about two years ago while
returning from visit to his children
who are and have been living with us.
Before concluding will say that the
harvesting is mostly done with headers
and if am not mistaken Mr.. Graham's
hands put up in one day forty acres
with a ten-foot cut. Who can beat il

A WAR "REMINISCENCES.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Inter- Ocean says that during a
debate in the Senate few DAYS ago the
Indiana SenatOrs-whO were both ma
lignant Copperheads during the war
were rehearsing the old story about the
use Of troops in Indiana on election day
in 1864, when Mr.. Window asked Mr..
Mcdonald why those troops were sta
toned there at that time. Mr.. McDon-
aid replied that he did not know. Mr..
Window said he would inform him, and
proceeded to read from report made
in 1864 by Jacob Thompson, Confederate
agent in Canada, to Judah p Benjamin,
Confederate State Secretary, the orig
inal Of which is on file among the Con-
federate archives in the War Depart
ment. in which he describes a conspira-
CIV TO seize the State Government of In
diana and turn the State over to the
Confederacy. He mentioned both Nc
Donald and Voorhees, by name. as being
in sympathy with the conspiracy. Mr..
Window quoted that part Of the report
much to the establishment Of the two
Indiana Senators. and there was quite
a sensation.

FROM SPRING CREEK.
Ell PAso, June 20, 1879.

Eli I ASO, 0uAAC ~ 49,
To s1< Editor Of tie Eagle:
Whew! how it rains. Talk about
drouthy Kansas when it's been naming
four days and the prospects are that II
will keep it up four times four more.
| None Of the effects of the late hail
storm are now visible on the growing
crops in this section.
Wheat most all harvested. Oats crop
along the creek will be heavy, unless
something turns up bigger than mule
to prevent it. Prospects for good
crop of corn were never better.
DR.. II. c. Tucker ond Judge Mccoy,
of Ell Paso, visited the Spring Creek
Sabbath school last Sunday.
The school in the Law district, taught
by Miss Ella Prescott, closed on Friday,
the 18th inst.
The recent ..jinmycane" ''skeered''
us Spring Creekers awftilly-come I'M
comfortably close. Several families just
north of us were left almost destitute
by its fury.
School in the Stafford district de-
creased again; measles the cause.
The adjournment of court released
Mr.. A. Law from the jury-box after a
three weeks confinement. We fear the
city climate is too agreeable with him.
The celebration at Yaple's Grove will
undoubtedly be success, so far as the
committee of arrangements is concern
ut any rate. The grove is being fitted
up in apple-pie order.
Mr.. Tho. Barnes is able to be around
with the assistance Of crntches.
We consider it our srcred duty to re-
port to the EAGLE every marriage OF
this locality, but We have promised to
saw nothing about the affair which takes
place in month or so.
Marshall, the little daughter of Mrs.
and Mr.. J. J. Yaple, died on Thursday,
the 10th, and was inferred on Friday in
the FL Paso cemetery. A host Of SYM
pathizers surround the bereaved par
ents.
BENJAMIN Hadcn is the name Of the
new blacksmith shop in FL PasO. Mr..
II. is a first-class workman and sOlicits
patronage.
There will he an ice cream festival and
refreshments ut the FL Paso school house
next Thursday evening, June Goth. got
ten up by the Presbyterians for the
benefit Of that denomination. Every
body is invited to attend. AgOod time
is anticipated.
The railroad grading at this point Gel
Paso) is about completed.
A new storeroOm in the above town
awaits an occupant. A. CARROTS new
building looms up big.
On Friday we noticed the Fl Paso Lii
ons practicing for match game Of bali
with the Wichitas. To-day Saturday
we noticed the FL PasO Lions got aw-
fully beaten by the Wichitas. Score

The Commissioners of LeavenwOrth
and Douglas counties who refused to
levy tax for the payment Of interest
on their bonds were summoned before
the United States District Court at
Lesvenwcrth and placed in the custody
Of Marshal Simpson, without directions
as to where they should be imprisoned.
As the Marshal had no funds at his dis
posal to defray the expenses of their
confinement, he turned them over to
the Sheriff Of each county, and they
are to report to them at stated times.
1t is now almost certain that the bonds
will Ike compromised Mt fifty cents on
the dollar and the whole matter settled.
