A secret Wort knowing.

Simultaneous with the budding OF
Spring all nature awakens from an
apathetlc state. Especially is this
the case among those interested in
outdoor sports, the oarsman, crick-
eter, base ball player, relnsman, all
prepare for the seasons work. The
inactivity of the Winter recess has
its effects upon the body, and when
exercise is first Indu ged il weak
ening sensation ensues, followed by
Sick Headache, Biliousness and gen
eral lethargy. A few doses Of Sway
ne's Pills will speedily remove all
such complaints and restore the sys
TEN to healthy and elastic condition.

A NEW FOOD SUPPLY.

Famine has no more terrors. Sci
entific men, in the interest of the poor
who are dependent on the uncertain
ties of crops, have taken a text from
the bible. Even these of them ye
may eat; the locust after his kind, aud
the oald locust after his kind, and the
beetle after his kind, and the grass
hopper after his kind" For the sake
of suffering millions they temporarily
discontinue the conflict between sci
ence and revealed religion and to help
the faith of those who look suspi-
ciously at scientific innovations upon
established beliefs, have adopted the
text and from it preach scientific
sermon in favor of useing locusts aud
grasshoppers as food. Tastes, as to
eating, differ. The courage of the
man who ate the arst oyster has been
often extolled and were it but the Gus.
tom it is claimed for locusts that they
would not simply receive tolerance
but be welcomed as toothsome food.
Lately in one of the principal hotels
of Paris some enthusiastic men of
science took possession of the kitchen
much to the disgust Of the legitimate
rulers of that domain, and prepared
dishes from locusts and grasshoppers
which made even the prejudiced cooks
admit that there was something which
had not been dresmt of by them in
their kitchen philosophy. The board
ers also ate and were glad, aud from
that small beginning will probably
come relief to the thousands who
yearly suffer from famine caused oft.
en- by the food supply which they
will hereafter greed'ly make use OF.
Mind is superior to matter, and (for
example) faith and necessity may
cause such revolution in public
opinion as to things clean aud unlean,
that grasshoppers instead of being
looked upon az a plague will be well
coined as a more valuable crop than
that which they destroy.

JAMES CAREY, the informer in
the Phoenix Park murder cases, WAS
shot on his wav to Africa. Carey has
received his just deserts. 1t may not
seem right to uphold murder, but in
this instance it was certainly justif
able. A man, who while at the head
of such scheme as Carey was, will
betray his companions to save his OWE
miserable life deserves no better end
ing than to be shot like dog.

THE CHOLERA.

This dreadful disease 10 making
fearful havoc in Egypt, and is spread
ing to other countries. 1t is reported
that several cases have already been
discov cred in Mexico. 1t would be
we'll for our people to be on their
guard against the scUurge, and keep
stiict watch that no foreign vessels
from the infected districts be allowed
TO enter American ports. The disease
has often swept over the Old World
taking down millions of victims, and
should it once get q start on our con
tinent it would no doubt traverse its
length and breadth. The surest way
to keep off the disease is for every
city and town to see that their streets
and sewers are kept clean, aud for
avery household to see that every
particle of filth is removed from their
yard. This advice, if adhered to will
do q great deal towards preventing
the disease, and although it may seem
untimely, there is chance that our
community may be visited by the
cholera, should it break out in this
country. Dayton is about as healthy
but there is no town but what has a
few places where filth has been allow
ed to collect. The town authorities
should proceed at once to have these
places cleaned out. Even if the
cholera does not attack US the change
would make a great improvement in
the town.

Mn Gro Fl MORRIsON.

Mn. GEO. H MORRISON, who
is csnvassing Nevada for Mr.. H. H.
Bsncrofts history of the Pacific States,
will shortly make an extended trip
through the State in the interest OF
the work. This history will be one
of the most complet, works ever pub
lished and will contain facts which
no Pacific Coast man should be with
out. The idea Mr.. Bancroft has is
putting this work together is not so
much to get the earliest happenings
in the State, but to get a summary of
events that occurred at any time.
For instance, an item in regard to the
first settler in q certain portion of the
State will be OF as much interest as
one 10 regard to the first settler in
the State. This is true idea of his
tory and will place before the people
q work that will be perfect.

to whom we refer are those who sui

THE RAILROAD BILLS.

Since the letter from our Topeka
correspondent was received, the
house railroad bill has passed the low
er house, and another bill on the same
subject known as the Kelley bill, has
passed the Senate. The main point
of difference between the two bills is
that the house bill, in addition to a
board of commissioners, fixes maxi
mum rates of fare and freight, while
the Kelley bill leaves the whole mat
ter i'm the hands of a commission.
The supporters of the house bill claim
that unless maximum rates are fixed
by law, the people will be afforded no
substantial relief, while the supporters
of the Kelley bill maintain that the
rates fixed by the house bill are go low
that their enforcement would render it
impossible for the railroad companies
to operate their lines with profit. A
great deal of bitterness has arisen i'm
the course of the discussion and the
two houses are now 50 far apart on the
matter that it seems hardly possible
for them to reach an agreement before
the end of the session. Such state of
affairs is very much to be deplored, for
as we have said before, the enact
ment of some legislation on this
subject is by far the most important
duty the legislature has to perform.
Our own opinion, after careful perusal,
is that the house bill does ample JUS
tice to all parties and is the one that
ought to become law. Rather than
see all legislation fail, however, we
would certainly favor the passage of
the Kelley bill. 1t is step in the
right direction and if not found ade-
quate in itself it would at least light
the way to more intelligent and effect
i've legislation in the future. The fail
ure at this time to pass any law on the
subject would leave the matter in a
worse condition than if it had never
been touched, ard it is earnestly TO be
hoped that such concessions will be
made as will result in some decisive
action.

THE first annual meeting of the
State Cane-Growers and Manufac-
turers' Association Of Kansas, will be
held at Topeka next Wednesday, Feb
ruary p. A special request is extend
ed to all interested in the production
of sugar and syrup in Kansas to be
present, and it is earnestly hoped that
every county in the State will he rep
resented. There is no other subject i'm
which the farmers of Kansas are more
vitality Interested than in that of the
manufacture of sugar from sorghum,
and every move looking TO the ac-
complishment of that object ought to
be heartily seconded. Cannot one or
two of our Allen county farmers make
it their business to be present at this
meeting next wednesday?

THE proprietor of the Newhall house
at Milwaukee, the recent burning of
which caused the death of 81 persons,
has been convicted of criminal neglect
in not taking reasonable precautions
for the safety of his guests. Although
thus convicted, inferentially at least.
of the murder of 81 persons, the man
is still at liberty, and it is doubtful if
steps will be taken against him.
While it is true that no punishment
that could be visited upon him would
help the poor wretches who suffered
death through his carelessness, it
would seem that he ought not to
escape all punishment on that accOunt,
1t would do no harm at any rate to
let him spend the next twenty or thir-
ty years at hard labor for the State of
Wisconsin, and perhaps the example
might not be without value TO other
proprietors of Undertook hotels.

AMONG the bills introduced into I

AMONG the bills introduced into the
house which it is to be hoped will not
pass, is one establishing a Normal
school in each congressional district
1t is hard to understand how any man
of judgment who really has the edu-
cational interest of the state at heart,
can advocate such 9 bill. The great
est draw back to the cause of higher
education in this state now, is the
great number of half starved insti-
tuition, with 5000 buildings, poor APP
paratus, and three or four cheap pro-
fessors, which are palmed off as col
leges. If experience has taught any
thing in the educational line, it has
taught that one institution thoroughly
equipped and well supported, is worth
dozen Of these little starvelings.
Who can doubt that the State Uni
versity, with its magnificent building,
its full corps of competent instructors,
and its liberal appropriations is Of two
fold more benefit to the state than all
the other Universities" put together ?
The state will only invest about so
much money in Normal schools,
whether there be one or ten, and it
certainly needs no argument to prove
that SlO0, 900 used in the establishment
of one good school would be of more
benefit to the teachers of Kansas, than
SIC, 900 given to each Of ten schools.
There is already well established and
fiourishing Normal department in the
State University. With half the ex-
pense at which this bill contemplates
the establishment of school in each
district, that depart
ment could be made twice as valuable
rs al! of then; taken together. Let
