A Boy Who is Unable to Perspire.

There is a boy IN Putnam county, a
son of Jefferson Lee, ten years of age,
who, owing to the peculiar nature of his
skin, has never been known to sweat a
drop of perspiration in his life. An
other phenomenal feature connected
with the boy is that he has only four
teeth, and he had these when born, hav-
ing neither cut nor shed any since his
birth. lie is very much affected by the
seasons. In the summer he gets ex-
ceedingly warm and is compelled, in
order to live at all, to keep his head
and body wet with cold water, and falls
off to almost a skeleton, but when win
ter comes aud cold weather sets in he is
enabled to dispense with his bath and
grows fat. lie is said to be sprightly
boy, with plenty of sense. -NasheiH,
UOrM.

VALLEY AND PEAK.

The Valley said to the Peak,
ooh, Peak, fain would arise
And be great like you; would seek
Your remote and sacred skies.
Although lie SO low
At your feet, | aspire to share
The mysteries that you know
In your cloud-roofed house of air."
The Peak 20 the Valley said,
ooh, Valley, be content,
Since for you my veins have bled,
And for you my breath is spent.
Alone, for your sake, live
In the cold and cloudy blue,
Great only by what l give
Out of unreached heavens to you"

A Very enerable Steed.

Mr.. Shaw Josh Billings) tells this
story of IA young man who had just
graduated from college, and whose
father was minister The old man
said, Now, you've been to a heap OF
trouble, and it's cost good deal OF
money and time, what We goin' to do7'
~ am going to be veterinary sur
geon.h "A what2" said the father.
"A veterinary surgeon-a horse doctor.
The horse is one of the noblest animals
in the world father, and he hasn't many
friends. l am going to study him, and
see if | can't help him. l believe it is
as good business as any,"
So, in spite of all his fathers talking,
the boy studied up all the old horses he
could find; read up on each case; prac.
tised what he could, and in q year wa:
quite an adept Then the parish made
his father present of horse. The par.
son was greatly delighted The people
had paid a good price for the horse, and
the old gentleman was anxious to have
the judgment of his son on the animal
Taking him into the stable, he asked his
boy to look him over, which he did
carefully, shaking his head at every ex.
animation. At last he said, Father,
the poor horse doesn't amount to any
thing"
why, my son, the old horse is quite
as good an animal as the one on which
our Master rode when on earth"
As he said this the boy had just
finished examining the horses mouth in
order to determine his age. The old
man repeated his sentence, "Just a
good horse as the one our Master rod,
into Jerusalem"
" Father" said the boy, "it's tn,
same one"

WISE WORDS.

Society is crucibe in which all gold
melts. Out of it is drawn only one or two
prizes-vanity or disgust.
Pretences go great way with mon
that take fair words and magisterial
looks for current payment.
The excuses of our youth are drafts
upon our old age, payable with interest
about thirty years after date.
The fruits of true wisdom are modesty
and humility. A vain or proud man is
in a positive sense an ignorant man.
To say little and perform much is the
characteristic Of a great mind. Adver-
sity borrows its sharpest sting from impa-
tience
The same littleness of soul which
makes man despise his interiors and
trampe on them makes him obsequious
to superiors.
If a man empties his purse into his
head, no man can take it away from him.
An investment in knowledge always pays
the best interest.
1t is only in some corner of the brain
which we have empty that vice can OBJ
tain lodging. When she knocks at our
door be able to say: mo room for your
ladyship-pass on"
If you have great talents industry will
improve them; if very moderate abilities
industry will supply their deficiency.
Nothing is denied to wel!-directed labor.
Nothing is ever to be attained without it.
Every man in his own life has folles
enough-in his own mind troubles
enough-in the performance of his own
duties deficiencies enough-in his for
tunes evils enough without minding
other peoples business.

SEDGwIcK COUNTY CROPS.
A Few Disagreeable Facts Which CaR no
Longer be Kept Back.

The EAGLE will no longer attempt to
keep back the facts from the rest OF the
State, for the truth will come out sooner or
later. IL will no doubt prove somewhat
disagreeable. but it will not help the mat
ter for the sake of other peoples feelings to
smother down the truth. The Great
Valley County has raised several enor-
nous crop. since its first settlement,
i'm either wheat or in corn leading all the
rest of the state several seasons in success
sion. Last year in addition to corn and
wheat yield. which when returned in hg-
ures seemed fabulous, she added an acreage
and yield Of oats which astonished even her
own farmers and dealers. But disagreea-
BILE as the fact may prove to our
generous neighbors OF the high
prairie counties of the central, eastern
and western portions of the Sun Flower
state, this year to an unprecedented crop
Of wheat, corn and oats we must add an
enormous and almost unheard Of prospect
of fruit; fruit by the ton and by the thou
sands, of every variety known to this lati-
tude. The trees Of each individual kind
are threatening TO break down under their
loads. As for wheat, rye, oats and corn
those who have never been in this
valley wouldn't believe us il we
gave them the simple truth /.
Wheat (which stands five and six feet
hight, oats which promise hundred bush
els TO the acre, and corn that grows so
thick and fast that the farmers can hardly
keep out Of the way with sulky cultivators
and three minute horses. Some of our
farmers report 4 little "cheat' here and
there in spots in the wheat and pretty
strong showing of weeds in some cOrnfields,
but when felt hat thrown into an average
field of wheat rides and rests clcanly on
the top of the heads, and when corn after
the second blowing strikes the horses in
the flanks, we must tell it however dis
agreeable reading it may prove for the
average real estate dealers of the rolling,
wind-swept. sun-dried pralries of the
north.

the WICHITA & FLORENCE SHORT LINE R. r

Years ago some of our more ohseryanI
men saw that If Wichita ever made a city

The construction Of short line or cutoff
from Florence or that vicinity to this point
would become an important necessity.
Some SIX months since an organiza-
ton, looking TO such scheme was
duly incorporated under the state laws.
The EAGLE, further than making mention
of the fact, said nothing, because the time
did not seem ripe or the demand pressing.
But in view OF western extensions and i'm
poriant western connections soon to be
made, the incorporation, OF the Wichita Il
Florence Short Line have been making a
move. Again, on last evening. at regular
