Kansas Twenty.flfth Anniversary.

The recurrence Of the twenty fifth anniver-
sary Of the settlement of the State Of Kansas
was the occasion of an immense gathering of
people at Lawrence Sept Is and 16, among
whom were great many participants in the
stirring events from 1854 to 1863. The first
days exercises were begun by an address by
ex-Gov. Robinson, the President of the day,
followed by addresses of welcome by @. X.
Halliday on behalf of the old set
tiers, and by Gov. st. John for the
State Then came an address by John W. For
ney, of Philadelphia In the evening an old
settlers love-feast was held, at which brief re-
marks were made by Senators Ingalls, and
Plumb, ex-Senators Pomeroy, Ross, Harvey
and other distinguished persons The second
days exercises, at which over 30, 600 people were
In attendance, embraced love-feast by the old
settlers and addresses by Edward Everett
Hale, OF Boston; George W. Julian, of Indiana;
Gov. st John, of Kansas, and Gen. John Pope.
The press of the State was largely represented.

Wealth Of the NapOleOns.

"The First Napoleon" remarks the
Continental and SWiss Times, "en-
dowed all his family splendidly, as the
master of Europe might have been ex.
pected to do. The records of ST. Hell
ena show that sum variously estimated
at from $20,000,0O0. to $100,000,000 of
money was at the command of the ex-
lied Emperor in Amsterdam, Frankfort
and London. Notwithstan ding the idle
stories which have been current for
years as to the pecuniary embarrass-
ments of Napoleon III. before he be-
came ruler of France, it is absolutely
certain that at the death of his father,
the ex-King of Holland, at Leghorn, in
1916, he inherited a very handsome
property"

THE MARK LANE EXPRESS REVIEW.
Inc Mark Lane Express, of London in its
last review tSept. 10 of the British grain trade,
says:
The few samples OF new wheat exhibited in
Mark Lane have been wretchedly poor both i'm
quality and condition. A great deal Of barley
is also 80 stained IA to be unavailable for malt
ing. From two and one-half to three quarters
per acre seems TO be the average yield of wheat,
with, perhaps, some reservation in favor of
oats. All spring crops are to great extent,
failures, and peas most especially, while the
root-crops are but little better.
Trade has been quiet Sellers have shown
little desire TO press sales, being encouraged by
the certainty that the home crop is lamentably
deficient, while The visible supply in America is
diminished. Though rise is hoped for by
sellers before long. 1t is impossible to ignore
tho fact that America must control the prices
for the present cereal year, although ii is more
than probable that the continental requirements
will absorb a large proportion of the available
surplus which at present threatens to glut the
United Kingdom markets

Benefit of Poverty.

Northcote, the painter, was once,
asked if a certain gentleman, who had
shown skill in drawing, would not make
great artist. mo, never" he replied ::
"for he has 10000 a year."
The man had no motive to UNDER
the drudgery and continuous study
necessary to the making of great art
ist. He needed that which has spurred
many men into grcatness-the stimulus,
of poverty.
Lord Eldon was poor when he began
the practice of law. He applied to
Lord Chancellor Thurlow, who was his
friend, to appoint him Commissioner
OF Bankruptcy. Thurlow refused, say.
ing he did him favor by appointing
another person.
Years after, Eldon saw that the re-
fusal was favor and wrote, what he
meant was, that he had learned that 1
was by nature indolent, and it WAS only
want that could make me industrious"
Many men have been hidden by their
wealth, who, if they had been poor,
would have become illustrious.

A great many novel articles have
been placed under corner-stones OF
public buildings and other structures
about being erected. But the most
novel article we have known to be thus
deposited was in laying the corner
stone of an academy in Massachusetts,
the other day. 1t was nothing less than
a strip of the human voice imprinted
on tin-foil by the Photographic process.
There is no comprehending the curios-

Trees and Health.

Everybody knows that trees take the
carbonic acid thrown out in the breath
of men and animals, separate it into its
component parts-carbon and oxygen
give back the latter to be used over
again, and work up the former into wood
and fruits.
1t is also coming to be generally un-
derstood that forest trees do important
service in promoting rainfalls, and in
helping to retain the surface-water for
springs, streams and general use.
1t is also known that certain species,
planted in malarial localities, help to
render the latter healthy by somehow
using up the deadly miasma.
1t would now appear that trees grow
ing near drains carry off the sewage
water.
A gentleman, whose cess-drain was
constructed just like his neighbors' and
in the same kind of soil, had found it
unnecessary to clean it out, while the
others had to be cleaned out frequently.
An examination showed that three
large trees, whose roots had penetrated
into the vicinity of his second, or waste,
cess-pool, were clearly the channels
through which the waste all escaped.
Whether it was changed into plant
food, as is likely, or was exhaled through
the leaves, in either case it. disposed
of with equal safety.

Tiideu Faces His Enemies.
GCh'ctgo Tribune ]


The New York Sun publishes, on the
avowed authority of a member Of Congres
from New York, and msn having Mr
Tilden's closest confidence, that, unless I'll
den be the candidate in 1850, he will take
no interest in the election, and in that Gaze
New FORK will give 30 900 Republican ma
iority. This person asserts that the Demo
cratic party has not carried New York since
1856, except when the campaign was con-
trolled and directed by Tiiden; that every
time that State has been carried by the
Democracy it has been accomplished by
Tilden's brains ard Tilden's money. The
same authority declares that TIlden holds
r. CRATIC Seymour, and Herman, and Church
personally responsible for the bolt of Tam
many; that he carried the Stale for Sey-
mour in 1865 and made Herman Senator;
and that II Seymour becomes a candidate
in 1850 he will not have 1ilden's support,
and will be beaten in New York. Nor will,
it is declared, Tilden make any effort to
carry New FORK for Bayard or any other
candid att; but unless Tildsn be the Demo,
cratic candidate in 1850, the State will
pass into the hands of the Republicans be-
You'd the hope of rescue.
Ii is evident from ali this that Mr.. Til
den proposes to fight his enemies vigor-
ously; that, SIS John Kelly and Tammany
Hall were able in 1879 10 deliver the State
to the Republicans, SO in 1850 Tilien will
he prepared to repeat the same operation
unless the Democratic party accept HIM h.
their candidate. The motto OF the man OF
Gramercy Park is no longer "TIlden and
Reform :" it is now, and will be until after
Il 81 IL \ L..
unquestionsbly true that, even if the Dem
ocrsts united were able to carry New York
in 1880, which is doubtful, they certainly
cannot carry it against the power and in
fiuence of TIlden. The opposition may
defeat Tilden in the Convention, but he has
the power to defeat the party at the polls,
and that he will exercise that power no one
who knows his pride and his viEdictivepess
can for moment doubt. That Tilden
eau command a two-ihiTds vote in the
Democratic Convention sg8inst the almos:
solid vote of the Western States can hardly
be expected, unless his threat TO deliver
New York 10 the Republicans will over
wheln the loudly proclaimed hostility Of
the party in Penney lvania, Ohio, and in
some Of the Southern States, add compel
those States to sccept him, sad at the same
time accept bis battle with Tsmmany Hsl
Mr.. Tilden occupies The vantsSe ground
that the vote If New York Is iodIsr ensabIe
TO elect any Democratic candidate for res
ideni; and, when he .Clares that Unle-t b .
is candidate himself he ard his friends
will permit the Safe 10 90 Republican by
default, the choice of the Democracy il
practically reduced to TIlden or nobody.
The Solid South is pDseriess as against
TIlden's detection, and ia equally poserless
with Tilden as against the Gsf,C ion Of Tam
many Hall. Altogethe-, the Democratic
prospect il not likely 10 brighten 20 long as
TIlden il candidate and refuses 10 sup
port any ether person who may be EomI
mated.

A Typographical Error In Court.


Typographical errors frequently occur in
the be-t conducted journals. The change
Of one letter often alters The meaning of a
word or sentence, and most serious perver-
sions Of the expressions of writer ere
liable to result FROM nasty proof reading or
the careles mess OF compositors. Not lorg
sgo Law tina, had passed both houses Of
Congress WIS put in type at the Government
printing office, and after time 1t was dis
covered that q misplaced comma entirely
changed the intent Of the law, and further
Congres sional action was nt cesssry in or
der to relieve it Of the improper punc,us-
ton snd give it the force ard latitude in
tendA A seriou. error OF this nature has
been discJv,r red in the public i;ion OF law
passed hy the last Legislature OF this State.
The prosecuting attorney Of lngham county
recently brought an sc ion against saloon
keeper for selling liquor TO minors. Al
the trial OF the case the counsel for The de-
fence pat in the pies that the act under
which the seton wss brought could not be
applied to the case in question. Tie law
referred to ia found on page 2S9 OF the pub
lie acts Of 1879, and, upon Investigation 1t
was discovered that the act as il reads sp-
plies to miners, and not to minors. The
attorney Of Ioghsm county secured the
convic ion of the liquor sellers, on the
ground OF the intent OF the law, rightly
holding that it was plainly meant to pro-
hibit the sale OF liquors to miners, ipstead
of to minors. The case has been appealed
to the Circuit Court, and the decision OF
Judge Huntington will be looked for with
interest. While it may be q mere tschni-
cality, the law ss it reads renders dealer
liable to fine and imprisonment if he sells
to a miner, and at the same time subjects
him to no penalty if he sells to minor.
Under ord mary circumstances the intent OF
the Law would be accepted, but rs an error
Of this nature entirely changes the applics-
ton, it ia q les,ion to be decided whether
the law can oe considered valid or not. A
decision will, in all probability, be sought
from the h. hest court Of the State.

and Irish home-rule, as conducted ard
represented by Mr.. .Parnell, who seems TO
be q small man erdesvoring TO mount 8
large emergency. The history of Ireland Is
strewn sill over with Psrnells, great and
small. They have done no good to their
country or their people, if We except one
or two really great and earnest men whom
all the rest have initiated at long range.
1t is even . question whether IRELAND would
not be better of to-day If there had never
beenl an O'Connell or an Ennet to chsl-
lenge the feeble limitations which have
succeeded them. The man does not live
who can tell what the cry for home rule for
Ireland means, unless it be the right to
establish a pandemonium on earth. AS
interpreted by those who are now Its chosen
spokesmen i: certainly means this. OGly
few DAYS ago one of lis representative ora
tors declared that il meant That the ma
jority must not be compelled to work hard
10 maintain a few in Jdieness In Other
words, that Communism and aggrs rianism
must be allowed to reign suprem in Ire
land. The N any do not work for the few
in DIblin to any greater extent than in ST.
Louis. L. has been the worlds law ever
since the world VISA made that, in certain
ssnse, this should he done, snd Ireland is
the las; place on earth 10 be elected for lie
reversal, OF repeal
The people Of this country have had
some experience in the matter Cf Irish agi-
tation from a financial standpoint. The
ssindle ever perperated in the
world was done in the name Of Irish free
dom. We sllude 20 the scheme of Few J
years ago, BY which Irish servant girl and
lsoorSrs were persuaded 10 buy bonds Of |
the Irish republic and TO pay Tor them !
with their hard earnings ard small savings. |
IL il now a vell-kno~n fact that a large |
part Of the sum thus collected from the |
poor ard igno ant wss spent 10 maintaining !
a club house in New York, the resort of a |
lot Of 6emsgcgues who had played upon |
the patriotism and good nature of their !
sincere but misguided fellow coun:rymen !
ard women. Ireland could not be irsed by |
suppsrs, and the funds were ex-
hsus.ed after a while. The We had Fenian !
raid; but the modern Emmetts were not
there. Tie g4b-siiied sgitators who didn't
want their spitaph written until Ireland
was Tree did not show themselves st the |
front, where epitsphs were 10 he had for
the ssking We certsinly do not want a
f.rcs at any rate, We do not want it
brought about by the aid Of American
money, solicited under the false guise Of
charity. We speak plainly on the subject,
and do not appeal beyond We'll known facts
for our vindicstion. We repeat, that if the
people Of Ireland are in need OF food they
shall have all they want, but If lot Of
demagogues choose to seek pecuniary ss-
sistsnce for their schemes of disturba nee,
they ought not TO receive dollar.
