EDITOR JOURNAL :-Please allOz
me space for a few remarks IN thG
above subject. The Trustees Of the
German congregation have lstely
purchased Of DR.. and Ms. Grier, cor
ner lots on Ninth and Walnut streets,
for the purpose cf erecting house q
WorshiP thereon. Some Of your
readers may exclaim In reading the
above: what are there not too
many churches In salina already ?'I
Oh no, kind reader, there Is little
danger Of building too many churches
or too few saloons. At any rate, the
erection Of said church building Is q
real necessity. After having been
with you for over Is months, have
become convinced Of the fact that
there are from % to 50 Protestant fam
lilies In Salina and surrounding coun-
try who rather listen to q sermon
preached in the German than I'M the
English language, and quite 9 num-
Der Of these do not understand enough
English 70 derive any benefit from an
English sermon. They may even
talk with apparent fiuency about their
business, farming, the weather, poll
tics &c. ,-but when IL comes to religious
talk or preaching, they are greatly
bothered, because they have secured
their religious training, schooling
Bible reading, &C., altogether in the
German language. But, will some
one suggest, why don't they learn the
English language? II they want to
come TO this country, let them adopt
themselves to our modes Of living,
speech, &c. Well enough, my friend,
but Il Is more difficult for an aged
German TO learn English, than It Is
for you and me to learn Hebrew.
Some have asked, "Can the Germans
and Swedes understand each other ?"
Yes, when both can speak the English
language. Both speaking in their ma
tive tongue they can not. Hence, It
becomes very plain that one German
church building is Is necessary for
Salina, as nine English and two
SWede ones. Well, what do you rea-
son for, may some one say: Go ahead
and build. There ls none 10 hinder
you. Well enough, not only do we
expect 70 be unhlndered, but we even
intend to. ask all Christian friends for
q helping hand. From $500 to $500
are subscribed and Ia lew weeks /
shall make special effort to increase
Ihis BY collecting 10 Sallns and VI
einity. Here, dear Christian friend,
Is chance for practically supporting
the Mission cause" How can the
German immigrant in coming
amongst you be reached otherwise
than by the German work. Why
not support the missionaries who
work among the Germans who come
here, as well a. who those work in
Germany? a.? Charity begins at home.
From eight to ten years we have pa
tiently tried to preach In the German
language amongst you In churches Of
and now we have resolved 10
build our own church a. we'll as we
can. Will you not aid use Remenl-

The veterinary surgeons are pro
posing various remedies, which the
owners Of diseased cattle are being
made acquainted with. One Riley, q
veterinary surgeon, Of North Law
renee, writes that this disease is the
same thing that ragged in Northern
Michigan ia 1864, which carried OF
great numbers Of cattle. The cause Of
sour mouth, he says, is from hckIng
the feet, and to prevent It the feet
should be wrapped with rags. He
further says that Black Dragon oil Is
a sure cure. The disease seems to be
spreading, Notwithstanding the e.
forts TO prevent It. II is we'll for the
cattle men Of this county 10 organize
for protection, as they are doing else

THE foot and mouth disease which
has broken out among cattle In Wood

alarm among the cattle men "Quar.

TOPEKA, March lOth, 1884.
%. J. e. admire, Usage city, Rs:
MY DEAR SIR Your letter with
copy Of resolutions adopted By the
stock breeders Of your county IL at
hand. do not think that the public
would justify the calling Of the Legls-
laiuTe together II seems 10 me that
the stock men of your county have
started out In the right direction By
calling q public meeting. You ought
also 10 have the County Board meet
aud make an appropriation for the
purpose Of buying and destroying any
animal diseased or affected with the
foot and mouth disease upon the first
intimatiOn that it exists 10 any To-
cality In your county. The Legisla-
ture has appropriated no means nor
authorized any officer 10 act In such
matters, and what / am doing and
can do OF cOutse is only advisory. In
ease the disease should make its ap-
pearance in your county the animals
should at once be killed and burned,
and all straw, litter and everything on
the premises that was exposed 10 the
contagious disease should be burned
and cattle liable TO be infected should
be properly quAraniined until Il isI
fully established that the disease did
not longer exist In the herd.
In case il should break out there
should be competent committee Of
men, who, with veterinary surgeon,
would appraise the property and pay
a fair value for It and require the per
son TO properly dlsinfect his premises
and prohibit the turning OfstOek upon
the Infected place for from four 10
five months. ] have no doubt that
the Legislature would provide for the
Reimbursement Of counties that adopted
such measures 10 stamp out the dis
ease. OF course its effects would be
deplorable if It once gets q foothold In
Kansas, and the disease viii spread
very rapidly after cattle are turned
out on the range or on 4 pasture-a
great deal more rapidly than ct pres
emf. I am, sir.

seventy vessels of all sizes and on

Lord Ripon, the Viceroy of India,
is immensely popular among the ma

were printed in golden ink In honor OF
his recent visit.
An iron-worker named Stokes, of
Manchester, Eng, found hare in trap,
and as it was suffering greatly he killed
it. The act being committed on Sun

twenty shillngs.

The Revenue and Agricultural De-
partment of the India Government have
been trying to introduce improved agri-
cultural implements among the natives.
The Indian farmers received eighty
three different kinds. From official re-

distributed twelve only of the imple-
ments found favor in the eyes of the
native agriculturist. Among the ac-

According to DR. Sach, of Buenos

Here is a a description OF Russian
prison, written by Prof. Thun. of I.ciD-
sic: The prison at Kara, near Irkutsk,
is said to be one of the worst. 1t is an
ordinary farmhouse, surrounded by a
high fence. There are no tables or
chairs, only platforms, on which the
prisoners lie packed like sardines, The
food consists merely of bread and soup,
with a very little grit. There is no hos
pital or other care for the sick All
those condemned to hard labor are com
PEELED to wear chains, whether at work
or in prison, and all correspondence is

1t is only just about one hundred

Malta and the Maltese.

The Maltese Islands are four in num-
ber: Malta, Gosso, Comino and Comm
itto-Mslta being the largest of the
group. The axis of the group-twenty-
nine miles in length-ruhs from soutn-
east to northwest in the same direction
as the Apprentices. Malta is fifty-fve
miles from the most southerly point of
Sicily, and 125 miles from Mt. Etna
During the last great eruption of this
10,000-feet high mountain the glare of
its fires was distinctly seen from here.
About 200 miles southwest of us Cape
Bon points its finger out into the sea,
and the northeast end of Africa begins
at the fnger-nail Thus situated then,
midway between the continents of Eu-
rope and Africa, and directly in the
middle of the great water highway con-
Meeting American and European mar
kets with Egypt, Asia and the Indies,
Malta possesses an Importance easily
realized. She has been possessed by all
the countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean in turn, and has been bone of
contention whenever the dogs of war
were let loose.
Malta and its officially styled ''de
tendencies, though only f1y-specks on
the broad map of the world, now geo.
graphically form part of Europe, though
as to climate and productions they have
much in common with neighboring
Africa. The island of Malta itself is
seventeen miles long by nine miles
broad. A boat sailing round it would
traverse about fifty miles. Its principal
ports are the Great and Quarantine
harbors af Valletta, which are separated
by the hog shack tongue of land called
Mount Sceberras, on which the city is
built. Among other bays on the north
ern shore is that Of St Paul, in which,
1900 years ago, the Christian orator
was driven ashore. With the perspi-
cacity that you would naturally sup
pose him possessed of, St. Paul lighted
on his feet when he struck Malta, for
be not only chose the most beautiful of
all the bays in the island to be wrecked
in, but the people received him kindly,
and, being ripe for it, were easily con-
verted to Christianity. Prior to st.
Paul's advent the inhabitants of Malta
worshipped neurological gods. Only
Yesterday saw statue of the goddess
Juno, before which the ancient Maltese
have bowed down and sacrificed. 1t
stands under an archway in Il niche of
the gate that leads into the old city of
Citta Vecchia-the most venerable of
the Maltese cities. The fine Cathedral
that stands there is several hundred
years old, and is built on the site of the
house of Publius, who entertained the
great Apostle. There are long, narrow
catacombs traversing at all angles the
underground of Citta Vecchia, in which
the early Christians took refuge from
prosecutors. They are dug through
solid rock, which rock, however, is easily
worked-cutting more like cheese than
granite. The atmosphere OF Citta
Vecchia is hazy with legend and sacred
with the localities connected with st.
Paul's stay in the island, and the Cath
