FRANCE FINDS that lighting China is
rather Improbable business, and be
sides, it makes slow progress in cowing
nation that has almost as many
millions of people as France has hun
hundreds of thousands. The Chinese
cannot be bluffed and bulldozed to any
alarming extent while they are on their
own territory and the enemy on the
other side of the globe. The announce
ment is made that the French Cabinet
has informed the Tonquin committee
that France will fOrego its demand on
China for indemnity, and that peace
negotiations are far advanced. This is
a square back-down on the part of the
clustering Gauls, who acted at the out
set as if they had but to assert them
selves when the meek-eyed Mongolians
would cravenly yield to the demands of
the former. 1t is probable now that
peace will soon be established, and We
shall hear no more from those cities,
rivers and towns with objectionable
names. 1t is a matter for regret that
the affair ended before the Chinese
had an opportunity to administer de-
served fiOgging to the impudent French.

An Eccentric Mans Will.

William ID. Ringo, of Newport, Ken
lucky, died to-day in his sseventy-second
year. He was an eccentric old bachel-
or, who inherited $500, 600, and increas-
ed it by judicious investments to $780,
600. Within the last four or five years
he has adopted six orphan children, and
nearly all his fortune has been willed to
them. Their ages range from three to
nine years. They are taken care of by
a woman who has kept house for their
singular god father for thirty years. A
recluse the greater part of his life, Rim
go collected library of considerable
value and was well read. In his younger
years he was accustomed to dine several
well known actors every time they play
ed in Cincinnati. For some years back
he has been addicted to drink. In this
habit, as in all others, he was very sys-
tematic. He never drank at but one
bar, and only after nightfall. He usu-
ally remained in the saloon for about
two hours. At the end of the month
the barkeeper made out his bill, which
he always paid with a check. For sew
eral years he has kept two men under
monthly pay whose business it was to
see that he conducted himself properly
when under the influence of liquor, and
to take him home.

A correspondent of the Louisville
COurier-Journal tells how they conduct
a senatorial canvass in Kentucky, as
follows
"The scenes in the headquarters are
as typical and characteristic of Ken
lucky as the whisky. There is spirit
of good nature and knightly kind of
courtesy that is truly refreshing in
this age of money-grabbing. Every
body is Major" or Judge" or, at
the very lowest, Colonel" Every
few minutes you hear Colonel A. say !:
Colonel B., allow me to introduce you
to my friend, Major Co.
Colonel B.-"I am most happy to meet
you, Majah Co.
1.-The honah is reciprocated.
Gentlemen, let's have a drink
Then, as the glasses clink, they will
discuss their genealogy, and "Major C. {"
will tell how so-and-so, nephew of his
grandfather on their mothers side, mar
ried so-and-so, a distant cousin of .Col-
onel B." on his fathers side, and how
they are, therefore, all related-and then
there Is another drink. This good-na-
tured courtesy is seen everywhere. The
utmost good feeling prevails among the
candidates and their friends. One night
crowd Of Williams men, led by Colo
mel Hamilton, will take possession of
Blackburn's headquarters, and Black
burn win slap them on the back and al
most force his twenty-year-old down
their throats, if forcing were at all nee
essary. The next night the visit will be
repaid. There are no mean stories be-
ing circulated. You ask q Williams
man what he thinks of Blackburn and
he viii say: Joe is a gallant fellow. -
II you ask Blackburn's men, they win
say Williams is a noble old hero. They

Sir-I beg leave at this time to officially
tender my resignation as postmaster at
this place, and in due form to deliver
the great seal and the key to the front
door of the Office. The safe combina-
tion is set on the numbers 33, 66 and so
though do not remember at this mo-
ment which comes first, or how many
times you revolve the knob, or in which
direction you should turn it at first in
order to make it operate.
There are some mining stocks in my
private drawer in the safe which have
not yet removed. This stock you may
have if you desire it. 1t is luxury, but
you may have it. I have decided to
keep horse instead of this mining
stock. The horse may not be so pretty,
but it will cost less to keep him.
You will find the postal cards that
have not been used under the distribu-
tion table, and the coal down in the eel
lar. If the stove draws too hard, close
the damper in the pipe and the general
delivery window.
Very respectfully yours,

Prof. Shelton, of the Kansas Agricul-
tural College, in the Industrialist gives
a striking illustration of the effect of
cold weather on fattening cattle, when
not well protected. Ten steers made an
average gain of 31.1 pounds each in the
ten days ending December 29th last.
During the next ten days the average
gain was only &c pounds, although al
most exactly the same quantity of food
was eaten. They were fed in an unbat-
tened board shed. During the first pc
riod the weather was warm and pleas.
ant for the season; during the second,
the temperature was lower than had
ever been known-reaching 20 degrees
below zero on Jan. 5th.

A correspondent of the Globe Demo-
crat at Wichita, telegraphed that a ru-
NOR was current there that the st. Louis
Ft. Scott IL Wichita railroad, supposed
to be controlled by the Missouri Pacific,
had fallen into the hands of the Santa
Fe. A reporter who talked with Secre-
tary Smith and Coy. Brown, of the
Gould lines, about the matter was told
by the former that the Missouri Pacific
had never had the slightest interest in
the road. and by the latter that the San
tt Fe could not get control of the line
in question if it wanted to. The story,
therefore, is Inanifestly absurd.
Another rumor from the same source
was that the Wichita s. Western road,
the Santa Fe's new straight line from
Wichita across the Great Bend to Dodge
City, would be built no further west
than Cheney, thus implying an aban-
donment of the original project. From
what the reporter could learn in this
city, this is as unfOunded as the other
story. TIE Santa Fe simply stopped
work when the weather became unfa-
vorable, and will resume in the spring

I" I see," said Senator Frye, "that a
Washington paper, in a very compli-
mentary notice, sets me down as a poor
man, not worth over 5000. That's
too much," said Mr.. Frye. "But the
fellow who wrote that does not know
the reason am so poor. 1t came about
in this wise: / was brought up ina
Quaker family, and when, in my boy
hood, / got chance to go to Boston my
Quaker grandfather gave me five dollars
to spend. did not know any boys in
Boston, and l could think of no way to
have five dollars worth of fun without
boys. So / kept the money in my pock-
ct, When got home my grandfather
asked me how ! spent the five dollars,
and /. with the air of one who had done
virtuous act, said did not spend it
at all, grandfather saved it, and have
it in my pocket. Whereupon my grand
father said: You may give me back
the money. William, gave you that
money to spend at Boston, Ever since
that, said the senator, "I have known
better than to save money"

B. B. Groom & Son, of Western Tex
as, last week shipped through st. Louis
the largest consignment of bulls that
ever left the blue grass regions of Ken
tucky. III. T. Groom was in st. Louis
on the 18th inst, in charge of the cattle
then resting at the National Stock
Yards. They consisted mainly of high
grade Sborthorns, 100 in number, but
embracing 80 thoroughbreds. At the
same time they had with them a car
load Of COWS and heifers. They expect
to take these cattle through to Wichita,
Kansas, finish winJering them there,
and then take them on to their ranches.
They have just sent out to their ranch
a car load of their own importation of
Polled-Angus cattle which they say are
as good as ever came to America. B. b.

Several midnight rackets have occur
red during the past week in Harper
Rackets which-to draw it mild-did
our town no good. The last took place
Thursday night. a special meeting of
the council was called yesterday and
steps taken to close up every saloon and
gambling institution. This morning
finds Harper for the first time i'm years
without saloon or gambling den. The
origin of these rackets is found in the
arrival from Dodge, Wellington, and
elsewhere, early in the week, of several
foreign gamblers and unadulterated
''hards." They proceeded to have a
monkey and parrot time, but were all
fired from the town by local talent and
officers, the last leaving Thursday morn
ing. A small racket was raised Thurs
day night and the authorities being on
their mettle, took extreme measures,
resulting as above stated. All "bad"
places are now closed and bad men"
suppressed; but will it last ?-Harper
Sentinel.

The gloomy forebodings of those who
from the past dry season, argued short
grass and thin cattle, seem from present
appearances to have been premature.
From no section of the country have we
been able to receive other than encour-
aging news, and our own observation
confirms us in the belief that cattle are
going through the winter in about as
good condition as ever heretofore, prov
ing that the compensating law of nature
never fails. There being less grass, it
is more nutritious, and cattle require
and eat less to remain fat.-Arizona

a sad and touching story comes to us
from Kaw Agency. A guileless red son
of the forest whose early education in
the intricate sciences seems to have
been somewhat neglected, found a nitro
glycerine cartridge, and of course
thought it was something to eat. One
of the peculiarities of the noble Indian
is that when he finds thing and does
not know what to do with it he invaria-
bly, classifies it with his alphabetical list
of foods, and entombs it in his always
hungry midst. This Indian made fair
average lunch from the tenderest end of
the cartridge, smacked his lips in satis-
faction and returned to his tepe and re-
tired to rest. During the night his wife
yelled to him to ''lie over" and at the
same time dug her elbow into his abdo-
men with wifely vigor. He obeyed.
He laid over considerable portion of
the adjacent real estate, while here and
there portions of his once proud frame
could be seen dangling from the limbs
of trees in the soft moonlight. His
wife hasn't been heard of since. The
story is sad one, and should teach the
untutored red children to always inves-
tigate before they bite into substance
with which they are not personally ac-

The Land Troubles.

Hon.F e. .Gillett,o of Kingman, recently
wrote sensible letter to Senator rlumb
on the subject of the alleged land frauds
in this section of the state, which we
produce below, and would say that Mr..
Gillett deserves thanks for his efforts
in behalf Of the people:
KINGMAN, January 18th 1884.
HON. p. b. PLUMB,
DEAR SENATOR: / desire to call
your attention to the fact that large
number of arrests are being made in
this section of the state for alleged fraud
ulent entries Of government lands and
many cash entries are being Cancelled
for alleged technical violation of the
pre-emption laws.
These cancellations are the result Of
the appointment Of government inspec-
tors, who are examining the lands I'm
this section pursuant to the authority
appointing them. While the people of
this section of the state, and presume
of any other section, have no desire to
shield any who have wantonly violated
the law, yet they feel it great hardship
to be compelled to suffer on account Of
the wrongs of these persons who have
done wrong. il any have, as for instance,
this section Of the state has been settled
almost entirely by class Of people who
have come here to seek cheap homes on
account of their poverty, and have been
unable by reason Of their poverty TO
make full compliance with the law.
while their good faith is unquestioned.
The building Of railroads through this
country has caused an unexpected rush
Of immigration and persons who have
been holding claims have been forcedtO
make proof before they have intended
or prepared to do so In order TO secure
their homes from the grasp OF those who
are rushing into the country in the i'm
mediate advance of railroads, and
great many people are in this exact sit
uation now, each of whom, I'm order to
prove up must borrow money to pay the
government price OF the land. The can.
collation. of entries already perfected
has stopped the supply Of money through
loan agencies for this purpose. While
the uncertainty of titles caused by a
possibility of cancellation by the gov
ernment of final entries of land is doing
the country generally untold mischief
and is great drawback, which is now
being sorely felt.
In order to settle matters there ought
to be dividing line somewhere that will
leave matters i'm settled condition, and
to this end desire to suggest that an
act of congress ratifyinga all cash entries
of Usage Trust or Diminished Reserve
lands'in the state of Kansas, not here
tofore Cancelled, would be an act over
which the people, in my judgment,
would be much rej0iced, and 1 am In
clined to think that If such PROPOSE
tion could or would be entertained by
the government, a memorial to that eff
feet, containing the names of three
fourths of the people in this county can
be furnished you.
shall be pleased to hear from you on
this subject at your earliest tconvenience.
Hoping that the matter will be favor
ably entertained. ] am
Truly Yours.
