The Bernhardt.

Sara Bernhardt played at the st. Joseph Opera
Horse, Monday and Tuesday nights. Printers
an, poor folks could not indulge in the luxury
of hearing her; but thanks to the pure French
OF the reporters of the st. Joseph papers, can
sit miles of, and read their reports, and sec and
understand every movement, just as if he had
been present. After reading the reports in the
two dailies of that city, we are glad We saved
our money, and at the same time we feel as if we
had seen Bernharlt, in all her glory.
B-rnharlt's forte, as we learn from the reports
ia those papers, lies in storming her audience,
the first charge. She asfounds you with her
ayEoRB and then gathering all the force other eeiaf
she produces an eecldrcissearRf That being ac-
eun.I,lished, the audience are captured, and she
swass them at her will. Her voice is HoHehaldHt
aud recherche, possessing all the mGurdis Of the
most refined esplegeic. A scarcely preceptable
bon riraRt in the left eye gives a haHteur TO her
glance that materially adds to the pGrle- ros of
her rdstaJe. But it is in the final bete roir when
all her efforts eliminate and scintillate, and ef
fervesce in one grand ekerdn5dcfrise, that she is
immense Recovering her elan, and exerting all
the intense sang froid Of her nature, utteriHg
shriII qHi rire that makes the sol distant welkin
ring she seems to burst off the entire toRt ensem-
bic, until you see her whole hoHi soft qHi nal y
pens. You shut your eyes, open your mouth, and
sit shivering like a dog swallowing bones.
When you again open your eyes, the scene is
closed, and Bernhardt is gone.
Oh, Lordy! how We hope the editor of the Hi
awatha Dspdtoh went to see Bernhardt, and that
he will give full description in his next issue,
so that we may be able to still further enlighten
our readers.

SHIFTING THE REsroSsIBIIITY.-In another
column, we publish T. Dwight Thacher's opin-
ion of the beautiful liquor law passed by his
friends. But we are surprised that man of Mr..
Thacber's ability should place the responsibility
for the bad features of the law where he does.
1t may do for the small fry, who have whoOped
up a thing until they got more than they bar
gained for, to raise the cry that the enemies of
temperance did it; but it is altogether too much
for Mr.. Thacher. He knows the friends of the
Amendment have large marjorites in each House,
and could have passed just such law as they
wished. He knows there a strong sentiment
among those members in favor of .'sitting down
on all the opponents of temperance. 1t is rather
poor excuse to say that that handful of oppo-
nents passed an Objectionable law over the heads
of the temperance majority. But it speaks poor
ly for the first efforts of the temperance people,
that their leading men are already attempting
to saddle their blunders upon their opponents.
We venture to say, that if every member of the
Legislature who ought to be in lunatic asylum,
were there, the remaining members could soon
pass a temperance bill that would be satisfacto-
nv to all reasonable people.

~ The st. Joseph and Denver Railroad one Of
the numerous lines that have received land grants
from Congress by way of subsidy, presented n survey
of its projected line at Washington, March D. 1870,
and placed il record in Kansas the 18th of the
following April. The steps taken Mt Washington
were not brought to the attention of the public and
thousands Of Of land that by strict law became
the property of the company on March q, sold
by United States officials between that date and
April l3 to unsuspectng settlers, who entered upon
their tracts, cultivated, improved and built upon
them, and for nine years were allowed to remain in
unquestioned Possession. II until 1879 that
they were notified that the land had been mortgaged
by the railroad company to a New York capitalist,
and that would be necessary to terms with
him about the possession. Too poor TO make much
of legal contest they have ceased resistance after
two adverse decisions in the United States Circuit
Court at Omaha, and now turn in desperate straits
TO ask relief from Congress- on the ground that the
injury sustained by them caused originally by
the mistake Of Government land agents.
Had the settlers been notified of the defect in their
titles within reasonable time after entry upon their
lands, the recovery of the amounts paid by them
would have restored them nearly to their original
position but they allowed to work for years
like bond slaves, increasing the value of the land
tenfold and all solely for the benefit of the railroad
company.

~ The Atchison Globe makes bad work of
our statement concerning the month of January,
1854. 1t would be no wonderful thing if man
were frozen to death in Wyandotte County, and
another the following day. The sing gularity of
the thing is this: In the space of one week, in
January, 1864, two men were frozen to death in
Wyandotte County, on two different days, and
between those two days, and Of course in the
same weeks time, house in that County was
struck by lightning and burned down. The
lightning between the two freezes, in so short
space of time, makes the point Of the thing.

W That rrohibitory amendment seems to be

Roscoe COnkling did not come in at first, no one
expected that he would. The merest tyro in Wash

make his usual stage entrance. Indeed, the count
had been going for twenty minutes when the doors
of the chamber opened, and Roscoe COnklng grand
gloomy and alone, entered. He came in grayely
and with wearied air. He paused to talk with a
messenger for n moment, while the counting was
suspended until he should take his seat lie bows,
graciously polite to the messenger, and then under
takes of the most difficult feats ever attempted
by mortal man-that is, to walk down the middle
aisle of hall in the presence of the cynical mock
crowd, that is anxious to see ii he can act as
if he is really unconscious that any one is looking ut
him. Mr. Conkng fails in that walk of thirty feet
there is such an assumption of easy unconscious
manner, while his affected step proyokes MANY a

SIGNING OF THE TEMPERANCE BILL,
Br THOMAS HaEIxGrox prxsus.

The lofty Kansas Halls Of State
Were bright with morning light.
And goodly throag had gathered there.
To witness sueh n sight
As ne'er before had blessed the eve.
OF women or "a Of men;
And. though a million years may pas.
May glad them ne'er again.
The heavy carpets on the floor
Gave forth no sound Of tread;
The marble stands and polished chairs
A shimmering lu<;re she'd;
A pungrnt olor filed the air,
As IL throughout the room,
Wsre blended scent Of esrtlamom
With ladies choice perfume.
Here, bony, tall and angular,
Sat stern Amanda Way;
Mrs Maloy, with Paddy's marks
or many n drunken fray:
While frum the circle round the throne
Anon would rise and fall
The mellow. buIl-like cadenoes
Of lovely DeGeer Call
But, ahi the central figure there,
With name and pard divine!
Did ever such a mighty God
Among sueh angels shinei
The glory Of his grand moustAche.
That curved with matehless grace,
To all beholders seemed to form
4 halo round his face.
He spoke; What we have met to do,
Shall mark an epoch grand.
A deed ~ brave was never done,
In any age or land.
In romance, history and song.
When all else is forgot.
This deed shall shine in living light
Ny name shall perish mott"
Then dipped he in the ink his pen,
Then ran he out his tongue,
While all around, his worshippers
In breathlsss silence hung.
A scratch, a sPlatter, and 4 serawl-
Then all the chosen flock
Gave utterance to q inufied SCREAM,
As though they felt a shock.
Then spake the Kansas Patron Saint,
(Whose partner it was God):

From this, our sacred sod.

By Kansas son or daughter"
