There has always. been q DISPOSE
ton in the Eastern States to exagger-

Kansas. The Eastern press have not
been satisfied with the simple an.
nOuncement that the grasshOpper Wis

occasion to publish to the world that
we are inflicted with annual visitations

our agriculture is always failure.
While our State has been purposely
nisrepresented, and our occasional
crop failures glorified over, there il q
grain of comfort for us all when We
hear Of like troubles in some of the

THE SEA OF GALILEE.

Some very curious researches OF a
geological character have been made lately
by M. Lortet in the Lake of Gennesaret,
the Biblical Sea of Galilee. The level of
the lake being some 600 or 700 feet below
that of the Mediterranean, it was interest
ing to find out whether the present or past
fauna in the lake resembled that of the
larger inland sea- In this way NJ. Lortet
hoped to show that at some far distant
period there had been communication
with the Mediterranean, which commune
cation had been severed by geological con-
be $50 metres, in the extreme north, near
Strange to say, on the banks and highlands
surrounding the lake the same round
stones were found, showing sea
abrasion, and at that exact elevation
which to-day belongs to the Mediterranean
level This shows almost conclusively that
at some former period the level of the Sea
of Tiberias and the Mediterranean were
the same. As to there having been any
communication between the two, that is
question not SO readily solved. MIR. Lortet
thinks that at one time the salinity of the
lake must have equaled that of the Dead
Sea- As it was, the study of this water
induced the French savant to spend long
time in this region, calling on the energies
of languid and Indifferent Arab bSatmen.
There are, according to NJ. Latert, ~ diff
ferent kinds OF fish IN the lake, of which
seven belong to the species known as
Claroaais One family of the kind pre-
sented the curious trait OF Matching its
young in its mouth, and for that act was
very appropriately named ChromiS poter-
fdmilia8. But beyond the fish, ten mol
lusks, two tortoises, a CRAB, and a shrimp
were the only living organisms. But what
was remarkable was the abundance of the
fish. Two castings of the net usually filed

POOR wADg HAMPTON.

Wade Hampton has been goaded by the
reproaches of his party friends into writing
a letter in which he denies that he had any
idea of challenging Secretary Sherman
when he wrote to the latter that &c his ad-
dress was Columbia. South Carolina. ("
This denial is said to have been evoked
principally by the remarks of a California
Democrat, who has charged upon Hamp-
toms folly the defeat of Hancock. Ger.
tainly it was not Wade Hampton's letter to
Sherman that caused California to go
Democratic. and there is no ground for
supposing that it had any influence upon
the vote of New York. In short the
California Democrat referred to appears to
be very poor judge of political phenome-
na, and to possess an exceedingly feeble
insight into the motives which move
men in Presidential elections. 1t
was hardly worth while for General
Hampton, for the sake of satisfying
such critic, to put forward
a denial which it is impossible for the pub
Lie to accept as anything but an after
thought. Had he not been Southerner.

tains the "code of honor, )" and necessarily
familiar. with its phraseology and techni-
oalities, his present disclaimer might have
nsssed. But unfortunately for him the
country knows that on the occasion referred
to he employed language which has only
one meaning among his own associates.
We cannot and do not doubt that he in
tended TO provoke Secretary Sherman to
duel 1t was an impulsive, rash and fool
;sh step. but it was thoroughly character
;st;c Of the man. The incident, however,
had almost been forgotten, and 1t would
have entailed no real opprobrlum upon
him had he not thus unfortunately en-
to deny what cannot with any
,,,ns of credence be disclaimed.

CONSTIPATION.

1t is doubtful if consumption numbers
as many victims as are stricken down by
the various diseases that result from habit
ual constipation. True consumption is an
inherited disease. It may remain always
dormant, but when aroused to action, de-
cay commences at point circumscribed,
and gradually extends-unless arrested
until so much of the lungs become involved
that vital action ceases. The evils of con-
stipation result from inattention to the
calls of nature, and usually commence
with children whose habits are not closely
looked to by their parents. The processes
of nature are always active while life lasts.
When effete matter is retained moment
beyond the time its expulsion is demanded
the system commences its efforts to get
rid of it. When the natural egress is
checked, the absorbents carry the more
fluid portions of the poisonous mass into
the circulation, and 1t becomes diffused
throughout the body. The more solid or
clay-llk portion is forced into the lower
rectums, where it becomes firmly impacted,
thus cutting of the circulation in the small
blood vessels, causing painful engagement
known as piles and hemorrhoids. A con-
tinuance of these troubles often results in
assure, fistula or cancer The trouble is
seldom confined here. As a result of the
blood poisoning we almost invariably find
more or less dyspepsia, with decided de-
rangement of the heart, liver and kidneys,
accompanied by headaches and nervous de-
bility, often verging on paralysis. Halle

u u.u,noaAr- Bronson Alcott,

HAwTHoRNE.- Bronson Alcott,. In
one of the Hillside Chapel conversations
about Hawthorne last summer, mentioned
the fact that, although they had lived
neiohbors at Concord for SO many years,
MI Hawthorne never entered the Alcott
mansion but twice, and Mr.. Alcott repre-
sented him as on one of these occasions max
inc ludicrous haste todepart on the pretense
that the stove was too hot for his comfort,
and on the other as rushing out with
SIMILAR speed because the clock tucked
foo loud to suit him. Mr.. Julian Haw-
tborne. then in London, resented the lntl-
nation that his father ever left neigh
boris house with rude steps, as the follow
ing extract from letter published IN the
London Academy for November 9th I'M
mistakably shows: Nathaniel Haw-
thorne had hearty aversion to bores, but
as those who knew him need scarcely be
told-no one was ever able to make HIM
forget his habitual courtesy; on the con-
trary, he treated such persons with even
more than ordinary consideration. 1t is
true that the presence of Bronson Alcott
was attended with especial drawbacks for
him. and that he never sought oppor-
tunity for converse with that gentleman
but on the frequent occasions OF MIR.
Alcott's visits to his own house he invarla-
bly, met him with composure and alta
bility."

A SCHOONER LoAD.-A correspondent
of the RECORD Union, writing from Pleas
ant Grove, Suffer county, says that the
recent most prominent social event IN that
section was the ball and festival for the
benefit of the new Catholic Church now
being constructed at Lincoln. A number
of Young ladies and gentlemen from Pleas
ant Grove took it into their heads to at
tend, but the weather being very cold and
the place some fifteen miles distant, the
ordinary way of driving in buggies or
open wagons was looked upon with dis
favor. Finally some of the young ladies
suggested that they should all go together.
The young men, after puzzling their brains,
finally stumbled upon conveyance In the
shape of freight wagon, commonly known
as prairie schooner, and az there were
some thirteen couples, seats were arranged
around the sides, upon which cushions
were placed, and at half-past one after
noon the happy people rolled away, pro-
vided with plenty of music and ready and
melodious voices. Drawn by four horses,
after ride of two hours and half, they
arrived at Lincoln, where they were well
treated and enjoyed the festivities greatly.
The entry of the party of youth and
beauty into the town IN their novel carry
all was the occasion for much merriment
and good. humored chatting. But the
young people were delighted, and declare
that for real, cosy comfort near three score
of jolly young people packed into prairie
schooner by night just lays over and
eciipses all other methods OF conveyance.

MORNING WALKS NOT HEALTHFUL.-lt
is great mistake, says medical writer,
to suppose that a morning walk or other
form of exercise before breakfast is health
full; the malaria which rests on the earth
about sunrise in summer, when taken into
the lungs and stomach, which are equally
debilitated with other portions OF the
body from long fast since supper, Is very
readily absorbed and enters the circulation
within an hour or two, poisoning the blood
and laying the foundation for troublesome
diseases while in winter the same debill-
tated condition of these vital organs read
lily allows the blood to be chilled, and thus
renders the system susceptible OF taking
cold, with all its varied and too often disas-
trous results. Some will say, look how
healthy the farmers boy is, and the daily
lsborers, who go to their work from one
years end to another by " crack OF dawn =
My reply is, if they are healthy, they are
so in spite of these exposures their simple
fare, their regular lives and their outdoor
industry, give their bodies tone, vigor,
capability of resisting disease, which
nullities the action of malaria to very
considerable extent.
