edifice in Cowley county. What won-

Ottawa Republican,: One of the most
imposing and elegantly appointed church
ediices in in Kansas is the Methodist
church of this city. Eighteen years ago
in lS66-the NJ. E. Society of Ottawa
was organized by the Rev. T. J. Farrell
pastor. Eleven persons constituted the
original membership. The meetings were
first held in hall, but in 1869 there was
decided movement toward erecting q
church, and in that year the foundation
of the present magnificent structure was
began. The church was finished last
March, at cost of 81, 400, all of which
has been paid. Commencing with eleven
members, it now has q membership of
500. Rev. Tucker is the present pastor,
and has been for the past two years.
Such development as this is seldom
shown by any church organization in
the county. 1t is extremely creditable
to Franklin county.

i Greenleaf Herald: A Kansas mar
climbed to the top of q corn-stalk, be
fore retiring, to inspect the state of thu
weather. His foot slipped and he fell
into a neighboring treetop, where he
stuck till morning, trying to die, and
couldn't breathe only about thirty cents
on the dollar. After his rescue he kicked
himself all the next day, and promised
his wife and seventeen children that
henceforth he would buy an almanac
and keep himself posted without resort
ing to such dangerous methods of ascer-
tanning the weather probabilities.
Fort Scott Monitor: We were pre-
sented Yesterday with half dozen large

Mold, daughter of Mr.. E. Mold
In the Spring of 1883, Miss
Helen received the tree from q
friend in Cincinnati, which she caused to
be planted, and has looked after it care
fully since. 1t is the Smyrna fig of the
Bible. Last year it bore no fruit, but
this year it contains forty-two large and
well ripened figs, and thus it has been
demonstrated by Miss Helen that figs
can be grown in this State and the trees
trees are rarity in this section.
Ell Dorado Times: Mr.. H. H. Kennedy
has an upland farm south of town, which
under his intelligent and careful man
agement has produced crops which make
the old croakers, who aver such land to
be worthless, hunt their holes. He
brings us some MCGEE wheat, which
from three pounds of sowing, three pecks
of fine wheat resulted; some Welcome"
oats which hug sixty bushels to the acre
so close there's no fun in it, and his fa-
vorite Virginia wheat, which has yielded
fifty and this year yields thirty bushels
of splendid grain per acre.
Wichita Eagle: Among the most won
derful and delightful thing of all the
rich fruit collection made by Moser,
Blood and Davis for the State Fair is the
section of grape vine five feet long, and
bearing fifty-two clusters of grapes, and
weighing upwards of 80 pounds, grown
by Mr.. Moser himself. The branch from
which the section was cut was of last
years growth, and it attained in a single
season the Astonishing length Of twenty
four and half feet. Californians and
others acquainted with the grape grow
ing interest of the Pacific slope, who
have seen the collection of grapes grown
in this county this season, say that no
section of California can surpass us in
the eight or ten varieties shown.

The Mines.

The discovery of gold in the Frazer
river and its tributaries, in British Co.
lumbia, occurred in the year 1858, and
among the thousands who started from
Victoria for the land of promise was
your humble servant, Joseph Laylor.
/ did not 90 alone on my gold-seeking
expedition. Harry Cleave went with me
as a partner.
1t was journey of twenty-three days
from Victoria, often wading waist-deep
through the mud and slush, and crossing
mountains of immense height.
At last we arrived at the mines in a
deplorable condition. Here We found
the suffering fearful, provisions scarce,
and although we had read such glowing
accounts of the mines, the gold was slow
in coming.
Day by day we toiled, and at the end
of the first week we were not much rich
er than when we arrived.
The second week, however, We struck
a"vein," and our anticipations seemed
about to be realized.
1t was the last day of the second week,
and Harry and were seated in our tent
smoking, and discussing our unexpected
luck.
L
man entered the tent 1t was Bob Riley,
the bully of the mines.
He was man of about six feet in
height, splendidly formed, with an arm
that looked as though it might fell an OK.
He took seat without even saying as
much as: By your leave"
"Hey, old boy, guy us that pipe" he
said at length, pointing to my pipe had
~ o1I Col

Bob Riley" l replied, know you're
a bully, and I'm not afraid of you. If
you call me rightly and speak respect
fully I'll lend you my pipe"
"Guv me that pipe." he cried, his face
growing red with rage. "Guv me the
pipe and mind who you're talking to,
dye hear"
Riley, till you do what l told you," was
the answer, interposing my body be-
tween him and the object of his inquiry.
With an oath he arose and came to-
ward me. Harry jumped up to take my
part, but / told him to keep quiet and
I'd make it right.
1t certainly looked as though Bob
would demoiish mel was SO slight in
comparison TO MIN.
"Get out of the way" he cried, with
an oath, his face white with rage.
did not move.
He then raised his brawny fist to strike
me down.
Iparried the blow and the next mo-
ment he had measured his length on the
ground, his hand touching the canvass,
from well-measured blow on the mouth
from my fist.
In q minute he was up again, for
would take no mean advantage of his
position.
With volley of oaths he cried
"Joe Laylor, my time will come. /
shall never forget thisw and with that
he disappeared from the tent.
That night lay awake, the words of
the bully ringing in my ears. l tried to
forget them, but it was useless.
By the morning it had leaked out that
I had clicked" the bully, and was the
talk and hero of the day.
pass over period of four months.
Unusual luck had attended the efforts
of Harry and myself during this time,
and we are worth nice $4,000 in gold
apiece, and thinking of leavingth mines.
For the better safety of our money We
had dug hole in the ground under our
tent, deposited it there, placed piece of
wood over the hole and then covered it
with mud, and five miners, Harry and
myself had formed band for mutual
protection.

Or whether she gave some look or sign,
Or whether leaned my face toward her,
Or whether she raised her face to mine.

But close and glad as the wild bee sips
From his honey clover, know kissed her,
Full and square on her lovely lips
She turned within, Gcd, bless and keep her,
The door closed softly, and al was still.

The crisp snow crackled-the air blew chill
How will she meet me again? How greet me
With lofty anger or keen delight
Have opened the gate of her love forever,
Or closed myself into darkest night?
SHE.
He held my hand-the quiet moon shining
The street lay half in shadow, half in light,
As on the doorstep for one little minue
We stood to see the beauty of the night
He, just to say good by. my hand had taken,
could not snatch it rudely from his grasp;
And So the while We talked, he held it gently,
In the kind, friendly shelter of his clasp.

The negro man Chris. Penick Tor Penlx)
arrested yesterday for robbing the mail
had examining trial to-day. and was or
dered to be held for indictment by the
grand Jury of the United States Court. He
knew so little about business matters that
he presented without any endorsement the
check which he had taken.
The storehouse aud stock OF goods OF
j. w. Burch, at Stockton, Henry county,
were burned up on the evening OF the 30th
ultimo. The cause OF the fire has not been
ascertained. Insured on goods in the
Hamburg-Bremen for 1000 and the
Rochester German for $1,000; on house
in Rochester German for $500.
One OF the returned witnesses says that
Mr.. Sherman is very pleasant towards Mr.
Vance's witnesses, and that Mr.. Lapham is
very spiteful and much disposed TO bully,
and that all that is said and done does not
appear in the papers. A day or two ago Mir.

The Charleston Ne,cS and Courier again
pays its respects to us on the subject OF
protection and the unjust taxes imposed
upon the workingmen. By the way, these
woskingmen are all Tor nearly ally in favor
OF protection, and blissfully ignorant OF
those unjust taxes. We have not deemed
IL necessary TO advocate either free trade
or protection, but have contented ourselves
with setting forth that there were more
important questions before the voters. II
there are not, then this is indeed happy
country.
The Naos and Courier threatens us with
an overwhelming popular demonstration
in favor Of what it calls "revenue re-
FORM" Let it come. But we must say
that we cannot see any signs Of 1t. On the
contrary we are constantly told by infuen-
tial Democratic leaders that so far as Vir.
ginia Is concerned inevitable defeat would
follow the adoption by the Democratic
party az test Of party fealty OF resolu.
ton in favor OF tariff for revenue only.
There are in this city thousands of Demo-
Gratis who would not vote for any candi-
date for Congress standing ON such plat
form.
Virginia will Of course vote this year for
the Democratic nominee for President OF
the United States; but it will be because
her Democratic leaders will stand upon the
tarin plank Of the Lynchburg Convention.
The Nens and Courier, like Mr.. WAT
rERsoS, attaches too much Importance to
mere names. The members OF the anti
Administration party in Virginia call
themselves Democrats" But they do not
mean thereby to tell the world that all the
Old-Line Wbigs In this State and their
sons have adopted the creed Of the Demo-
cratic party OF ante-belum days. To them
ali this clatter about revenue reform seems
ill-timed. They would rather get rid Of
the internalreyenue system. They would
rather get rid OF Republican district at
torbeys, and marshals, and spies and in
formers, and give the southern people
chance TO draw one free breath.

Quests Sent Away Hungry.

A Government official who has just
returned from Florida TO Washington
tells good story at the expense Of Jay
Gould. When Mr.. Gould's Yacht was ly-
ing off Fernandina a party Of gentlemen,
including several OF the English noblemen
travelling in Florida this season. received
an invitation from him to pay visit of
inspection TO his vessel. They were re-
ceived by Mr.. Gould with much polite
ness and shown all over the yacht by
him in person. The whole party were
quite profuse in eomplmenting the yacht
and its appointments, and all were in high
spirits, expecting, OF course, that when the
inspection was concluded collation. would
be spread. But nothing was said about
lunch, and they were not even invited to
take glass OF wine or a thimbleful OF
old rye, although lingering to the last
moment. The party finally left IN DIS
gust, and one Of the British lords was
In such high dudgeon that he went off
without saying goodbye to the Wall
street king, and aiterward remarked that
he was no gentleman to act In such a
manner. He said II the owner OF yacht
in Great Britain should treat guests in
that style he would be "cut" in all good
society.
