TIE FORTUNE SEEK Err.

The Post-Dispatch contributes this timely
article, but which will not be heeded-as the
mad rush goes on
As the feathered soDgsters carol forth their
lays and begin 10 prepare for the annual
laying, the long line OF adventurous spirits
headed towsrd the argeniiferous regions OF
the iar-of Gunnison country take up the
route step. Newspapers from Leadville re-
cord the daily arrival at that point of hun
dreds of gold and silver seekers Denver is
crowded with outfIters. Many Of the poor
devils who are chasing the phantom pause
long enough at Leadville to return thanks
and take drink, and then push on for the
new Ell Dorado. 1t matters not that they
are told that the snow lies from thres to five
feet deep in the foothills and that the
mountain roads are almost impatsable. Few
Of them have money enough TO enable them
to wait at Leadville until the spring really
opens. The tenderioot is therefore picking
his way through the mountain passes and
strewing the road with skeletons When he
reaches the promised land he will find but
few shanties and much suffering. The &C.
commodations are entirely inadequate to the
ruth, and, as a month or more must elspse
before mining operations can be commenced,
disease will thin the ranks of the fortune
hunters and make room for the columns
which will deploy into the Gunpison val
legs far into the summer. 1t is impossible
to conceive the privaiions which these in
fatuated people will endure. Hundreds of
them leave their homes in the East and set
out for the promised land with only money
enough to set them among the mines. They
expect to gather up pick and knock the
shining dollars out of the earth as soon as
they get there. Instead of scraping up gold
by the painful from the day OF arrival, they
will have 10 exist in enforced idleness for
month-should they happen to reach the
region Of the new craze-where -four costs
fifty cents a pound and bacon as much as
anybody chooses to ask for il. Hundreds of
them will die and many of them be ruined
for the remainder of their lives, and the
only consolation that will be left any of
them will be knowledge that energy, per
severance, labor and self-denial exercised
and practiced in raising corn and potatoes
in the fair fields OF the West will produce
better results than swinging a pick in the
mines OF Colorado. The mining regions are
glorious places for tradesmen, sporting men
and spectators, but the man Of muscle can
do as we'll as rule by raising cereals in
Missouri and occasionally turning over his
earnings to the monte dealer and the benev-
olent bunkoist.

RELIEF FOR SETTLERS.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Atchison Champion says: Mr.. Cyan has &c
cured the unanimous assent of the House
Public Lands committee to a bill for the re.
lief of settlers on public lands in Western
Kansas who have suffered, or may suffer
during the present year, from failure Of
crops. The bill will include all Of the
State west Of the east line of Barbour, Pratt,
Stafford, Barton, Russell, Osborne and
Smith counties. II will allow all homestead
and presumption settlers in the section de-
scribed who lost their crops in 1879 from
unavoidable circumstances, or who may do
so the present year, to be absent from their
claims until October /, 1850, without incur
ring forfeiture, AID 10 have the time for final
proof oorrespondingly extended. The regu-
lations as to proof of loss and other details
to be prescribed by the Commissioner Of the
General Land Office. Mr.. Ryan has no
doubt that this bill will pass the House if it
can be brought before it, and he will en-
deavor to obtain unanimous consent at the
very first opportunity.

CIVILIZATION AND RAINFALL.

A very interesting lecture was delivered
by II. L. Hilton, Esq, before the Scientific
Club Of Topeka, on the Effects of Civiliza-
ton on the Climate and Rain Supply Of
Kansas" The main idea OF the lecture is
that the settlement of country exercises q
great influence upon its rainfall, and after
presenting an interesting array of facts in
support Of his theory, Mr.. Hilton says:-
What Western Kansas now needs is a
more general distribution of its rainfall, and
this can be accomplished by protecting the
prairie grasses from fire, cultivation OF the
soil, by tree planting and BY the spread Of
the taller grasses over the cultivated area.
This together with Westward march Of emf
grafton in compact settlements, making i'm
provemen.s as they 60, will accomplish the
climatic change desired even to the west
line Of the State. The trouble of late years
has been that cur frontier settlers have
rushed west too fast, that they have scattered
too much instead of sticking together and by
their united efforts accomplishing what vas
80 much needed. Nearly fifty miles of
frontier were occupied by settlers in 1878,
but not until all this territory lie occupied BY
a denser settlement can the climate be
seriously effected. As the change of climate
west from the Tooth meridian will be slower
than east Of it there is important need that
the tide of emigration should march forward
slowly but compactly, and not push out in
detached settlements. Unfortunately the
class who insist upon being our pioneers are
the ones that can least afford to wait until
the country Is changed from Q grazing TO an
agricultural one and hence great suffering
must ensue especially in an unusually dry
ssason like 1879. Our cattle and sheep
rai,sis should be our piooeen, men Who |
will combine stock raising with farming.

THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL

i
Representative Ryan, Of Kansas, has pre-
pared an amendment TO the Indian appro-
priation bill, which be has submitted to the
Senate Committee on appropriations for in
corporation into that bill. The amendment
provides that, in the event Of the abolition
of the Board of Indian Commissioners, in
the future all bids for contracts for supplies
for the Indian Bureau shall be opened in
81. Louis, or other points in the West, and
as near TO the point OF distribution as may
be consistent with the advantage of pur-
chases. This will abolish the present sys-
TEN, inaugurated by the Board Of Commis-
sioners, of purchasing all supplies in New
York. The members Of the Senate Com
mlttee are favorable to this proposition, and,
judging from limitations thrown out, they
do not seem disposed to be influenced by the
efforts OF the Indian Bureau 10 secure the
restoration of the Bosrd of Indian Com
missioners.

the grizzled, haunting face of Sam Ben
ton. The last thing that he saw, was
his mother kneeling in prayer. He
heard her words: "Keep those, dear
Father, exposed to danger on land-and
on-sea" Then he caught her sigh at
the close of the prayer. That petition
would save if anything would, he
thought; and then came-blackness-

by he seemed to come up, and the peo-
pie reaching after him came nearer and
nearer. At last they seemed to bring
him to the surface.
He opened his eyes, and there were
the doctor, his mother and the neigh
bors trying to "bring him to-" He was
in his little chamber at home, lying on
the bed. He found out that boat had
been sent to his help, and let it be said
that Sam Benton -peuitent Sam now
was one of those in the boat. Why,
people said that when he saw what he
had done, his face turned white-white
as the troth on top of the breakers. 1t
was his hand that grasped Jimmy when
he was going down for the last time.
Everybody said that Sam Benton was
better man after that day, and GER
tainly there was room for Improvement.
He was one of those waiting in the lit
tie chamber for Jimmy to wake up
from that sleep so near deaths undis-
turbed rest. Jimmy did wake up. After
while he could speak. Putting his
arms about his mothers neck, he whis-
pered, at was your praying that saved
