The Y;rkland-Bowers Difficulty.

Some weeks ago we gave an ac-
count Of difficulty between the
above named gentlemen. We could
find no one who had seen the whole
affair, so had to give the information
as it came to us. 1t now appears
that the account was wrong III some
respects, especially so III saying that
Mr.. X. was the aggressor. We have
since learned that Mr.. X. did all he
could well do to avert it. and we now
hasten to make the correction and
place him in his right light. We
will not knowingly wrong any one.
especially an old acquaintance and
friend.

Greenland is remarkable proof OF
the rapidity with which great ply steal
changes in the earth's surface may oc-
cur. In the year $50 Eric the Red foun-
ded colonies on both the east and west
coasts which were long fiourishing. The
interior Of the country was then lev,
but the coasts afforded excellent pastur-
age. In the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries the black death SO weakened
the colonies that they were unable to
Withstand the inyasions of the natives.
The coasts began also to subside tor 4
distance of six hundred miles, and are
still sinking. Structures raised within
the last century are even now under
water, while more recent settlements
have been submerged. Huge glaciers
block access to large part of the east
crn coast, and on the west side the lay
ers of ice have only narrow habitable
place between the mountains and the
sea. A recent expedition from the west
coast under the direction of Danish Of

WOODSON COUNTY SILVER.

Professor +. B. Nudge has been 10
the so-called silver mines in ,foodson
county, and given them a scientific cN-
animation, and reports results 10 the
Humboldt onion. He says that the APP
pearance Of the rock material is differ
ent from anything elsewhere in Kansas
After describing il scientifically lie says
''All these changes-what geologists call
metamorphic aciion-are SO uncxceplcd
In Kansas that they become interesting.
Though such appearances are found in
countries producing silver and gold. il
does not follow that the precious metals
are always found in like circumstances.
We saw nothing showing that silver
could be found in any shaft. Yet this
opinion is confronted by the fact that
several assays have teen made in Colo
RADIO and Massachusetts, of specimens
taken from this locality giving from five
to six hundred ounces 10 the ton. How
reliable these analysis are yet remains
to be seen. Ii is singular that chemists
should report such results, and yet not
an ounce CT silver has been sold. The
best test must be to take a ton %; the
best rock to some reduction works and
see iffhe resuH pays We await the
development with interest as all Kansas
is Interested tc know whether we have
q good silver mine.

Helnbold's Buchu.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been known
as one Of the most valuable medicines at
tainable in certain classes of diseases, such
as dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, dropsy
cutaneous affections, and especially afIec-
tions Of the urinary organs. As diuretic,
it is superior to almost any other medi-
cine in use, and the great care with which
it prepared, the absolute purity of the
preparation, and the diligence used in the
selection of the crude material, have made
it known far and wide as reliable and
effective preparation, and one that can
always be used with safety and benefit.
The great success of Helmbold's Buchu
has led to the production Of many spur
ious preparations, which are made cheap
ly and placed upon the market to be sold
on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's s
original preparation. Parties who desire
really good medicine should be careful
and use Helmbolds only.

ton, and serve to show that the out
turn of the Mississippi Valley crop
for the prestlt season will be
far in excess OF last year, while the
Texas and Atlantic coast yield will
show heavy decrease. This pros
pectiye feature was ventilated in the
LEDGER on the 9TH of last month, full
six weeks ago, it beingat that time APP
parent to close observers of the cot
ton crop and its movement. At
New Orleans the receipts for this
season are now 1885, 600 bales, an ex-
cess over last year at this date of
100000 bales. AT Mobile the receipts
thus far are 125,OOO bales, an excess
over last year Of $1,000. In Texas the
receipts at Galveston and Indianola are
10000 bales, a falling of as compared
to last year of close to 10000 bales.
At Charleston and Savannah this
season, receipts sum up $4,000 bales,
falling off of $4,000 bales, and Floli-
da shows decrease Of nearly
$1,000 bales, the total receipts there
this year being but little over 2,3O0
bales. The total receipts at all Ameri-
can ports this year have been l, ,903,-
403 bales, an excess over last year of
364,527 bales. OF this 1,012, ,458 bales
have been sent abroad against 734, ,543
bales shipped to this date last season,
In face Of the heavy receipts at all
points in this country the stocks are
naturally in excess OF the quantity on
hand at the same time last year. The
receipts at this point last week
were the heaviest on record by
more than 800 bales. The
remuneratiye prices prevailing this
season has stimulated early shipments,
and the staple continues to rush into
the markets Of the country so rapidly
that transportation lines all have their
carrying capacity fully tested. The
weather for picking has been all the
most sanguine could desire, and the
planters of the Mississippi valley
have taken full advantage oi
the propitious season. There
is not cotton grower in all of the
valley of the Mississippi and its tribu,
taries, but will have we'll filled purse
this season. The prospect favora ar
immediate swell in the rivers of thu
South and consequent improvement
in navigation, affording opportunit!
for a further rush of shipments. TIL,
side streams of the South hav,
been lower this year than fo
more than twenty seasons, and but
moiety of the staple has yet been sen
from the plantations along their banks
1t is probable that there will be n,
