ing he expected to see the day when
"the blue dag Of Temperance will be
carried forward and Traverse every
State, and will ultimately float from
the dome Of the Capitol Of our Nation

be the monument Of our Nation" p
Rev. Simkins expressed sympathy
for those incarcerated, and considered
at some length the policy-or advisa-
bility Of releasing the prisoners, to
which he was adverse. He also de-
nounced the walking saloons severely.
DIR. Davis speech was entertaining
and received frequent applause; his
views Of the matter being almost the
same a. those of Mr.. Simkins.
Prof. Bishop considered the subject
logically and theologically, and be-
lieved in executing the law to the very
letter, and In maintaing the integrity
Of our statutes, Notwithstanding his
sympathy for the prisoners, which he
shared alike with the other speakers.
II. A. Levitt spoke few words In
behalf Of the prisoners, which was
received with applause from number
present. He then stated his position
IS q temperance man, and believed In
the prohibition law.
H. 8. Cunningham was called upon,
but begged to he excused from express
ing his opinion either way in regard

called upon to make q speech, but he
asked to be excused on account of his
official position, which was granted.
Mr. Wickersham made the state

temperance man, and now he is q
man but not as much Of u
Democrat as he was. (Laughterl.
He avowed his determination to stick
70 the temperance party.

We hear reports of black leg pre-
vailiny among the cattle of Saline
county. We certainly hope ii may not
prove very serious. The cattle have
done wonderfully well this winter
better than at any time within orr
remembrance. They leave the prN-
ries for the market in the best condi-
ton possible. We hope that there
may be no epidemic to take them of,
after having wintered SO extraordin-
arily well.

One calling himself Ed A. Cham
bers, protesting 10 lie canvasser for
the Kansas Gazetteer, caused quite a
cornmotion i'm town last week. He
did a pretty lively check" business,
and succeeded in getting safely out of
town on the Sunday morning train.
In selling Mr.. l.. II. Hole a copy of
the Gdsieeer Mr.. Hole gave him his
check for SO, and he thus became
familiar with that gentleman's sigma
ture aud forged two very clevef repre-
sensations for money-one for $50 on
q Kansas City bank, the other check
for $50 with the signature of Mr.. Hole.
These checks he traded In to p. II.
Peel. When he came to leave he man
aged to trade another of Mr.. Holes
checks to Mr.. Thatcher for his board at
the Metropolitan. His board amounted
to about IS, and Mr.. Thacher paid him
part of balance in money. Chsmbe rs
claimed to some parties that he was a
resident of Michigan; to others q res
ident of the Great Bend region, this
State. The Kansas City draft
has been returned to the Salina Bank.

The sun had for many days shone
as pleasantly as II ever did upon the
Apprentices or Campagna, and mortals
had Rugged themselves In the best Of
feelings that 1t was their lot to live in
q country where wintry blasts were as
infrequent as patriarcbs with silvery
locks and trembling frames. But the
delicious air, a. soft and full Of music
as it fioated across prairie and through
the trees as the tones Of an Eolian
harp, and which seemed to bear upon
its bosom the echOing songs Of birds
and the full fragrance Of spring-tide.
In few short hours yielded its mild
ness aud impressibleness to the aus
terity and rigor of the mighty north
wind. which brought cruel. unfeeling
winter right to our doors. Sitting
where the genial warmth of the home
fire went out into all parts Of the room
thankful that we were sheltered and
comfortable-it was not unpleasant to
look out upon the snowy sheets which
covered the earth, and the white fakes
filling the air-driven kere and there
by the mourning, suffering blasts.
Perched in q comfortable nest one
could look with comfortable indiffsr-
ence on the pedestrian ~ he stemmed
the north breeze with cap-enveloped
head and crimson nose. while he beat
q lively tattoo upon the frosty walk
with half frozened feet, and tapped
his arms. like featherless wings, to
Brighten back the king Of the frosts.
The sun came again, the winds ceased
their blowing, the glistening jewels
dropped from the trees and shrubs.
winter commenced packing its trunks
for . homeward trip, spring couriers
arrived to make . seasons engage
ment for its sweetest warblers, and
thus with the outgoing and the incom-
ing occupying the land we rest for the
present.
