ST. LOUIS, May 15, 1884.

Ed. FREE PREss.-The weather here
is fine for the first time this spring,
and the building boom is active
beyond all experience. The great
Exposition building is being pushed
forward to completion, and nearly
700 men are at work on the structure.
The city is rapidly moving out west
on the hills. OldSt Louis isgone. Up
to the time of the war it stood be
tween Morgan street on the North,
and Clark avenue on the South, and
between 9Th street and Goth street.
Now this vast region looks like
wilderness OF shanties, wild waste Of
wickedness. On Pine, Chestnut, and
Olive streets, up to 14th, where once
dwelled the rich and cultured, is now
the abode Of the ungodly, and ten or
twelve beer dives can be counted
within 3 blocks. Here O multitude
of outcasts of q corrupt civilization
faunt their rags and velvet gowns
and cloud" dress in the face ofpassers
by, and particularly on Sunday
night aud presents q scene and carnival
of riot, blaspheming, miscegenation
and congregation Of black and white
men and women,all stepped in fathom-
less crime and poverty as ever dis
gracedthe subteremean bells Of Paris,
or the Lapin Blanc described by
Eugene Sue.
The criminal courts are very busy
here at present, and the dockets are
large beyond past experience. The
The old Court House, where the
civil courts are held, is looking fine
after it's new coat of paint. The flag
staff was lifted into place by gang
of men yesterday. 1t is O hollow
steel tube nearly one hundred feet
long, and weighs 5000 pounds, and
when in its place upon the mighty
dome it looks like o fishing rod in
size.
Much excitement prevails among
the gambling classes here concerning
the panic and failures in New York.
The exciting interest about the calama-
ties of the Grant family have subsi-
ded, and many here hope that the
Grants will do the same thing
subside. Surely ''tis good time for

Some Pecnliarities Of Divorce.

M. Bertillon, the editor of the
"Annals of Demography," has been
giving lecture in which he sets forth
the fact that the households in which
divorces are most common are those
where the consorts are most nearly
of the same age. Where there is a
great disparity of age it is necessary
to make a complete distinction
between cases where the elder party
is the husband and where he is not
Old husbands, for some reason or
other, seem to be better able to re-
tain the affections Of their wives or
at any rate to maintain legal possess
ion Of their better halves, than young
ones; for, as the man is older in
proportion TO the woman, so is he
less frequently divorced from her.
With women it is altogether different,
for the older they are in proportion
TO their husbands the more likely
they are TO part or be parted from
them. In making these comparisons,
judicial separatiOns-in countries
where divorce is not Permitted-are
counted as divorces Bat NJ BeTtll
hon finds that in countries where
divorce Is prohibited suicides from
domestic trouble and poisOnings arr
much more frequent th4n elsewhere

be right for me to derive my living
from the sale of a drug which produ

minds, and ruined the souls of my
fellow-men?

forever the happiness of the domestic
circle, which is filling the land with
women and children in condition
far more deplorable than that OF

you, my respected fellow citizens,
what is to be done? Let me ask, is

Why theh should we not altogether

misery you are importing into the

think how many curses you may be
heaping together against yourself.
As you roll it out of your warehouse,

ILLUSION.

Down In tho valley. no thought. how gram
To stand ON the mountain-peak,
To feel the four FREQ winds OF heaven,
And TO SEQ the daylight break
The fiowery grass OF the meadow-lands,
The wealth OF the waving crop,
He knew them safe, and rich, and fair,
But he longed for the mountain-top.
What mystic shadows and depths were
thore.
What glory of color and light!
He knew that his heart would never rost
Till his feet had reached the height.
With painful care and beating breast
He climbed tho dangerous ground, = -7a'
And stood at length ON the mountain top.
With nothing his gaze to bound.
But the clouds were still as far above.
And alas the stony peak
Had never q flower or blade Of grass;
II was cold, and barren, and bleak.
And far below was the valley sweet
With its fields Of waving corn,
With its orchard trees and garden place,
And the house where he was born.
Thus from the valley Of sweet Content
Ambition lureth men to seek
The splendid, lonely, barren place
That girdless Life's most lofty peak.
But oh for the pleasant valley homes
And the happy feet that daily pass
woodland why's and blowing corn,
And the long sweet orchard grass.

BLUE VALLEY, f0TAWATOxIE COUNTY,
KANSAS, May 13, 1884.
Seeing so much material for news
paper topics I have concluded to try
and write few items for our old
home paper, the SAN MARCOS FREl
Press.
The prospects for good season
and plenteous year are evident
throughout this section Of Kansas
in fact we are having too much of the
moistening element. The Big Blue
River is gradually rising, caused by
the continuous rains, and an overflow
is predicted. II an overflow does
take place, it will make sad havoc oi
the many prosperous farms along the
valley. The Blue Valley farmers are
as prosperous as any class Of yeomen
in this state. They have ready market
for all the homo produce, and most
excellent ways Of transportation by
means Of the Kansas Central and
Union Pacific. There is another
railroad in construction up through
the Blue Valley. 1t commences at
Manhattan, q large town at the juno
ton OF the Blue and Kansas Rivers.

the valley.

The Cleburne Free Democrat

The Cleburne Free Democrat
(Greenback) says:
"Recent statistics show that TO-
TAT, 900 acres Of our lands are now
owned by foreign landlords, who pro-
pose to make second Ireland out Of
America, and demand their rack-rents
from American poems. Both the old
parties are equally responsible for
stealing this land from the people Of
this country and giving it to alien
lords and nabobs. How long will
the people allow themselves to be led
by the nose into slavery, by corrupt
party leaders, merely to crafty their
sectional prejudicesf This is q part
of OK Governor Roberts land policy.
Our national and state Legislatures
have given to corporations and for
eign syndicates $50, 900 square miles
Tor 1870, 100000 acres) Of our public
domain. All this land has been stolen
from the people, and the robbersnow
hold it under the plea ofvested rights.
There is only one of two ways BY
which the people can regain posses
aion of their lands for the benefit OF
the rising generation. One is by Q
bloody revolution, similar to that OF
France, and o redistribution OF the
lands. The other is by o graded tax
alton which will make large estates
improbable and force large land
owners to dispose Of their lands to
small farmers, Ono or the other
must be adopted, or four-ffths OF the
rising generation must of necessity
become poems. This is the inheri-
tance the father and mother are to-
day offering their children. Which
horn Of the dilemma will the voter
take-the ballot for graded system
Of taxation, or the sword with all its
attendant horrors and q redistribu-
ton, or peonage as the Inheritance OF
his childreni
