In the course of the Cantor lectures
recently delivered before the British
Society of Arts by DIR. Benjamin Rich
ardson, the following deeply impor.
tant remarks were made upon nitrite
of Amyl: One OF these specimens, l
mean the nitrite of Amyl, has within
these last few years obtained q re-
markable importance, owing to its ex-
traordinary action upon the body. A
distinguished chemist, Professor Guth-
rie, while distilling over nitrite of
anyl from amylic alcohol, observed
that the vapor, when inhaled quicken
ed his circulation, and made him feel
as if he had been running. There was
flushing of his face, rapid action of
his heart, breathlessness. In 1S61-62
l made careful and prolonged study
of the action of this singular body,
and discovered that it produced it's ef-
feet by causing an extreme relaxation.
first of The blood vessels, and after
ward of the muscular fibres of the
body. To such an extent did this
agent thus relax, found it would
even overcome the tetanic spasm pro-
duced by strychnia, and having thus
discovered it's action, 1 ventured to
propose its use for removing the
spasm in some of the EXTREMIST spas.

GO To WORK.

Up We drones, ye lounging idlers.
There is work for all to do;
Quite too long you've fooled away
Precious time from day to dayi
Now earnestly entreat you
Dronish habits to eschew.
Thou hast funds?-well, what of that. pray?
Thou hast not boundless store;
Every day thy purse gets lighter,
And thy prospects grow no brighter
Dimes and dollars all may leave thee
Poverty may press thee soreI
Not genteel to work?-what nonsense,-
Labor is ordained of Godi-
He whose daily walk is right.
Though he tolls from morn till night.
Is entitled to respect
Even he who bears the hod.
No EN- mployment?-well,t then seek one
Learn some profitable trade;
To be dissolute and lazy,
Skulking through the dark and May
Labyrinths of sin and folly.
Man, I'm sure was never made.
HE thee of to yonder work shop;
Toiling men are needed there;
Thus thou1t serve thyself and others,
Mid a band of noble brothers
Thus life's purest joys and blessings
Thou shalt sweetly, richly share.
Friendly acres wait thy tillage;
Go, then plow, and sow, and reap;
Plant the fruit tree. vine and flower.
Train the roses o'er the bower
Make for thee and thine a homestead
Where Love shall its vigils keep.

more than realized my expectations.
Under the influence of this agent, one
of the most agonizing of known hu-
man maladies, called angina pectoris,
has been brought under such control
that the paroxysms have been regular

by it, and in two instances, of an ex-
trerne kind, so effectively as to war

Kansas Letter.
PEABODY, Union Co., Kansas, /
Nav End. 1880.


FR1END HARRIS I'VE have been
here since the 9Th of April, and since
we came it has been very dry, very
windy, very dusty and very cool. On
Sunday, the 18th of April, the wind
blew from the southwest a perfect gale
all day, and the air was so full of dust
that many times one could not see to
distinguish objects that were but few
rods distant. Dust sifted into the
houses through every crack and crew
ice, SO that floors, carpets, beds and
everything was covered with fine.
black dust. It is said to have been the
worst day ever experienced here. The
wind and dust injured many fields of
wheat. This appears to be the extent
of damage done in this neighborhood.
During the night the wind shifted to
northwest, and next morning ice was
from one-fourth to oone-haif inch thick.
This killed all the fruit here. On the
2Sth of April we had a good soaking
rain, which settled the dust and re-
vived things wonderfully.
People have been planting corn since
the last of March, and will be planting
until the last of May. Of course that
planted first has been injured by frost,
of which we have had several during
April. 1 find that the first ten or fif-
teen days of May appears to be about
the best time to plant corn here
Wheat that was sown the last of Au-
gust and first of September looks well,
but late sowed wheat is not very prom
ising.
This country is especially adapted to
stock raising. Men who have had ex-
perience all claim that there is more
money to be made in raising stock here
than in farming. Pasture costs moth
ing except expense of herding, which
is from 25 to SO cents month per head.
1t is claimed that the prairie grass will
make as much milk and beef as the
best blue grass. Hay can be put up SO
as not to cost over from 81 to So so per
ton. Butter sells now in Peabody at
25 cents per pound; eggs cents per
dozen; cheese retails at 20 cents per
pound: beef from 8 to 10 cents, bacon
10 cents, hams 124 cents per pound.
At these prices, and land at from SIS to
500 per acre, see no reason why
man with little means cannot do we'll
here. don't advise anyone to come
to Kansas until after they have been
weaped. It wants people here who are
not afraid of a gentle breeze now and
then, with occasionally a dusty day.
There is no need of any more grumblers
coming, as there are plenty of that
class here now, and if the Recording
Angel takes note of all the complaints
that go up from here daily he is kept

Several parties hefe have commenced
their sheep shearing. Sheep are
sheared here without being washed,
and the fleeces average from s to 10 lbs.
Price, as given me by an experienced
wool grower, 35 to 40 cents per pound.
The cost of keeping sheep here cannot
exceed so cents per head a year. Price
of cattle, sheep, hogs and horses, about
the same as in Ohio.
