NOTES AND N0TOEs.
Emporia seems TO have the door.
'There's one more river 10 cross"-l
Fitz John Porter.
"The Persimnons In Kansas are roost- |
ing very high this seasOn."-J. F. Le- |
gate.
1t Is confidently believed that Ven
nor's snow blockade will be here by the
Fourth OF July.
Baltimore American: boston has Or
ganized cremation society. Another
continuance for baked beings
1t Is gratifying TO note the rapid ap-
proach of the Lenten season. The tariff
editor Of the Kansas City Times may
now be induced to eat some fab.
The example OF a Greenville, Texas,
lawyer who is working as section hand
Is worthy OF emulation by thousands Of
men engaged in the legal profession.
An exchange remarks that # there il
one time more than another when a
woman should be entirely alone, 1t is
when a full line Of clothes comes down
in the mud.
The Globe darklY intimates that there
is a commercial scheme on foot at Achi-
son by which Kansas City is TO be put
out on third base some time during the
coming summer.
The bill before the New York legisla-
tu'e to prohibit gambling in stocks and
bonds will have tendency to bring Jay
Gould to the front as strong advocate
of personal liberty"
The Chicago Times comes to the de-
Tense of Rev. Mr.. Utter, the defamer of
the memory of old John Brown. This
might be expected from q journal which
is the public apologist for Mormonism.
The Ohio papers are not devoting
much of their space just now to the dis
advantages of Kansas Home news al
ways take precedence over outside
matter in well regulated printing Of
fees.
1t transplres that Judge McCrary is
only to have $500 year as solicitor
OF the Santa Fe. The report that his
salary was to be $35, 1000 was generally
accepted, we believe, in a "MurdOck-
ian" sense
Wichita has organized a local mutual
life association. What q magnificent
general agent for such an institution the
editor of the Wichita Eagle would
make, were he to turn his special talents
in that direction.
Atchison Globe: Whenever q judge
shows a disposition to be fair and hon
est with the people, the great corpora
lions at once remove him from the
bench by hiring him to look after their
legal interests. Here is a pointer to
judges; it pays TO be honest.
A man in Nebraska City is actively
promoting starvation by giving away
| flour to the poor. He distributes 1t in
sacks, one to every purchaser of 100
drinks at his bar; and, under the cir
cumstances, the winners are bound to be
losers.
Mrs. LangtTy complains very bitterly
of the ineflciency of the gentleman who
takes the part of the would-be Lothario
in the drama of "The Wife's Peril" in
which the Lilly is starring this season
Now if only-but of course Mr.. Beecher
is too old to think of going on the
stage.
The lion in the British coat-oE-arms
was the symbol of Duke Rollo, of Nor
mandy, and came in with William the
conqueror. On the other side wal
formerly the red dragon of Wales, plac.
ed there by Henry VII. For that ] anne:
II. substituted the unicorn from the
royal arms of Scotland.
Mayor Burns, OF. Atchison, vetoed ar
ordinance similar to one in force at To
peka, to license the sale of mineral wa
ter and other drinks" and his veto wal
sustained by the council. With all du'
respect TO the scientific research of tn
Rev. Mr.. Jasper, we think it Is the cart
and not the sun which "do move"
The Milwaukee school superintend
ent recommends that home study by pu
pills be abolished, and the examination
. made less frequent and managed so q
, to cause less anxiety and extra applies
, ton. The superintendent is undoubted
ly right. The system of crowding an,
examining in our public schools is VI
; doubtedly harmful.
+ We are glad to see that Mr.. Morrison
y tariff bill provides for the tree sdmil
, sion of acorns. We believe the Kansa
. City Times has not yet defined its pos
ton on acorns. We should be glad {
have 1t tell how 1t stands on this in
portant question. Will it please SAY
also, how Mr.. Riggs views the acor
4 question. 1t will doubtless be relic
to the Times thIrty-five or forty sui
. scrlbers In the Second Kansas dIstrit
q to know about these things.
" Anent the report that another exit
" session OF the Pennsylvania legislator
+ is about to be called, we would observ
: that there is yet plenty OF cheap land
IS Kansas; that our climate presents III
Is rivaled sanitary advantages; that Sar
e Wood has left the state, and that on
d legislature only meets once every tw

J. agents of this section by copying tn
