CARPET -BAGGERs.-In a season of cool judg-
ment, and in the light of experience, the people
of the North are inclined TO attach less blame to
the Southern people for their hatred Of what
were termed carpet-baggers. The South was
Overrun by horde of men from the North, with
ont brains, ability or conscience, who sought to
take advantage of the helplessness of the peO-
pie, to get into office, and and fatten at the pub
lie crib. This is true, if those who have drifted
into Kansas after being driven ont of the South
are fair samples. There was York, who LIT down
into Missouri, but failed to take root. lie came
to Kansas, took the publication chute, betrayed
n man. and sunk into oblivion. St. John also
struck Missouri, where he failed to make
mark, and lit out for Kansas, where he ran the
temperance hobby, got to be Governor, and is
only waiting for his time to go into nothing
ness. JetmOre also failed to strike lead in
Missouri, and turned his face to this paradise of
humbugs, where he is trying hard to make noto-
riety by riding hobby. We might mention
others who were run out of the South, got high
Offices in Kansas, and then sunk to their natu-
-al level. As they were doubtless frauds on a
larger scale in the South than they were here,
We can begin to understand the hatred of South
ern people for carpet-haCgerS

A Kentucky Rabbit Story.

A father and son went on into the
snow rabbit hunting. The snow meas
urcd twelve inches in depth in some
places. and at no place was it less than
six. While strplling along signs unmis-
taxable led them to hollow chunk not
more than three hundred yards away
from negro cabin. The chunk was
crooked, short, and by 10 means over
heavy. The son threw it upon his shout
der and walked away to the cabin, where
he procured an AK, and in few strokes
cut into the hollow. He inserted his
arm and took from the chunk two fine,
fat rabbits, and thinking that all, left.
In the afternoon the old man who lived
in the cabin carried into his room one
section of the chunk and threw it upon
the fire. After heating while, and
when it had nearly burned through, two
bouncing fat fellows jumped out and
were captured in the room. They were
stewed, and furnished most enjoyable
meal for the old darkey and his wife.

A Sailors Yarn.

In O book written by Rear Admiral

story is told OF the way in which many
years ago in 1886. French man-of-war
went down with all hands on board III
West Indian waters. The ship had been

| titles station. and during the whole OF

his ingenuity in tOrm"l.ting III every pos

| the lives of all on board had been rem

Orders at lcngtl came for t!c ship To
return home Not long after the anchor
had been weighed II became crilcut that
g heavy squali Was coming DOWN on the
ship. and fine captain directed the officer
| of the watch TO shorten sail. The orders
were given. btt not a man moved. Again
| the orders were repeated, this time by
| the captain himself: but still not man
moved.
This is mutiny." cried the captain,
and then a hundred voices answered:
We will not shorten sail.
In vain the terrified captain appealed
10 the officers To- support INN. They
stood silent. and neither threats nor
promises awaited To- make man or officer
move, save only few who were noted as
spies and favnritcs OF the captain. 4 few
minutes more and the squall struck the
ship. IL moment the vessel was thrown
upon her beam-pnds.
"Cut away the mastS.' shouted the
captain: but still not a man moved.
In another minute. however. the rig
cling WAS carried away. the maats went
by the board. and. thus relieved. the
ship righted herself. Then the long
suppressed rage OF the crew broke forth,
and, rushing aft. they seized the captain.

There WAS loud report. and the ship

story of what had happened and died

The Republican ConVension.

We made mention q few days ago Of
the fact that the Republican central CON-
mittee Of this county had called 8 nom-
mating convention for August 81, the
primaries TO be held August 10. We
think the convention is called about a
month too early. There is no necessity
whatever for long canvass. There are
no Ofh:es to I'LL except those purely To-
cal, and no issues TO discuss before the
people. We fear a two months cam
paign, under the circumstances. will be a
drag.
We hope the Republicans Of the coun-
ty will interest themselves in the work
Of the party, attend the primaries, act
with harmony, and that an unotjection-
able ticket will be put in the field. The
officers TO be elected are a treasurer,
clerk, sheriff, register of deeds, surveyor,
coroner and commissioner for the EN-.
poTia district.
