THE WOMAN WHO IS NOT PARTIC-
ULAR.-Go where you will, you shall
see the woman who is not particular.
II makes not the least bit of difference
in the world to her where she sits or
what she has 10 eat. She is not partic-
ular. it makes no difference TO her. So
she IS in the coziest seat and cats OF the
best that's going. Into arailroad train
the other day entered this woman who
Is not particular. She had child in
her arms. In the centre OF the car
were several vacant seats. Most per-
sons would have taken one OF them
bat when the gentleman with her, pre-
sumably her husband, pointed to those
seats, the woman replied sweeily, oh,
I'm not particular, Henry; III sit
right down here.' And down she sat,
with her l50 pounds avoirdupois, not to
mention the infant, into the half seat
by the door.-see, she wasn't parlicu
lar. She dlda't mind that a lady was
already IN the seat; she didn't mind
that two-thirds Of her own body rested
on that lacy she didn't mind that lady
was immovably pinned against the iron
framework OF the seat; she didn't
mind her sQuirmings; and didn't mind
that her baby was musslng the lady's
bonnet trimmings with its unwashed
hands she didn't mind that it had
dropped its moistencd gingerbread in
the lady's lap. Oh,no, she was not par
ticular.

CHRISTIAN COMMON SENSE. There
IS a lack of ordinary business shrewd-
ness on the part OF some Christian men
and some Christian institutions which
is simply amazing. 1t exhibits itsel
in loose management and want OF pro
yision-in letting things DRIFT, an(
trusting in luck baptised with the name
of Providence; and though by wretch
cd caricature of faith this is miscalled a
life of trust 1t is nothing bat religl-
GUS MIcawberism that folds its hands
and expects something TO turn up
God helps those who help them
Selves There is no warrant in scrip
ture, or in history, for disregard OF the
ordinary laws of security and success
At the gathering of one OF the srea'
benevolent societies few years ago th'
exceedingly prudent proposition wal
made to effect life insurances in th'
case of its missionaries. The suggestion
was yehemently opposed by one OF the
fathers Of Grace who argued thai
those who are doing the Lords .wor'
ought to trust The future Of their families
to the Lords dare and not be guilty o
such an implous forestalIment of DIVINE
Providence as an actual business ar
raugement for their possible wants.
Shame to say it, the good brother
logic prevailed, and the proposition was
lost; but he himself soon after died
leaving his family without dollar de
pendent on the charity of the world Tor
the barest necessaries OF food an
clothing.

THOSE who have been supporting
Hon. T. G. Henry for Governor in
this county have made no bitter oppO-
sition TO Gov. st. John. The greater
number Of the prominent Henry men
were for st. John prior to the announce
ment of Henry's candidacy. and the
same gentlemen regard st. John as
their second choice. They are for Mr..
Henry principally upon the ground Of
locality. That he Is regarded as suffi-
GENTLY qualified for the place has been
sbundsntly proven by the numerous
newspaper clippings We have publish
ed in these columns. A citizen Of the
neighboring county Of Dickinson, he
and his friends have always promptly
responded to any appeal for help going
out from this county in behalf Of the
various candidates who have been pre-
scented for Congress, State Office, and
other important positions. The inter-
ests of the counties Of Central and
Western Kansas are identical, and
there IL no Que In this part Of the State
who Is more Of o representative man
ofOur section than Mr.. Henry. Should
we succeed in nominating and electing
to 80 important an Office a. Governor
. man from this part of the State, our
interests would be greatly advanced.
This must be acknowledged by all.
We believe that the greater number
of Gov. st. Johns supporters have
friendly regard for Mr.. Henry. and
would support him for second choice.
Such being the case We believe the at
Tempt of certain parties to cause war
of bitterness between the st. John and
Henry men will not be countenanced,
and i'm fact will be frOwned down.

SENATOR JONES, Of Florida, who
went to New York to attend the Dem
ocratic ratification meeting, recently
admitted that it would give the Dem
ocrats much trouble to carry Florida
In November, and that his haste in
returning was to assist In srousing
the Democrats to the Importance OF
opening the campaign at once. He
said that he did not know what the
Republican National Committee in
tends to do. but according to the news
papers, they would take hand in
Florida and other southern states. He
said that the Republican party in
Florida was formidable organization
and also had strength enough to assert
itself, and that the methods which
would work in other southern states
would not operate against it. He
thought the Republican ticket strong
one, but that II the Democrats could
not win with Hancock, they never
could.

OMAHA, Neb., August Z, 168O.
EDITORS JOURNAL: According to
promise I will endeavof to favor the
readers Of the JOURNAL with few cur
sorry written items.
Your paper has had, IT times. repre-
sentatives from that +" Paradise Lost, !"
Leadville, situated upon the snowy
range Of the lofty Cordilleras but a
short distance west Of you, and from
that quaint old Mexican town, Santa

facile pen than that Of the present
writer. As it has had none from here
few notes may be of some interest.
Though Omaha has q population OF
but 3O,OOO, she il not behind her sister
kansas City, farther down the river,
when we come to view with impartial
ity the building enterprise Of both.
Everywhere, and almost on every
hand, where but few months ago in
the business parts Of the city were va
cant lots, can now be seen men and
teams in the act Of excavating, prepar-
atOry to building stately business
houses; and already on many of them
are buildings in an advanced degree of
completion.
Omaha Is far more beautifully 10.
Gated than Kansas City, and is des-
tined to be its equal, and perhaps its
superior, In points Of population aud
business enterprises in q near-cOming
future. 1t Is nothing uncommon to
learn of q new manufacturing estab-
lishment commencing work here.
Besides many other minor works, it
has breweries, distilleries, white lead
works, the Omaha smelling works. oil
mills, pork packing establishments
and the L. r. car locomotive shops,
one of the most extensive things of the
kind in this country. employing, as it
does, from |, 100 to 800 men daily. Its
commercial enterprise, too, Is looming
up to q degree that will soon make it a
point OF note In the commercial world.
As railroad centre it hss nothing to
boast Of, though there is considerable
competition among roads running east
