lature from Lyon county, is visiting the
editor of the EAGLE and family. Mr.. II. is
farmer and stock raiser, more particularly
the latter. He settled in Lyon county in
1853, pre-empting his home place at q time
when Emporia had but dozen or so people
and when all west of that point was a vast
buffalo range. He comes down to verify
all that he has heard and read of Wichita
and Sedewick county. In the fall of 1868,
be helped make up party of several who
came down from the eastern portion of the
state for buffalo hunt. The party went
into camp on the Cowskin, six miles west of
the junction of the two Arkansas rivers,
where they bagged big lot of game. Mr..
Fl. killed buffalo standing on the river Just
above where the big bridge spans the stream.
He says he expected to find q good solid
town or city here, standing out on the open
plain, but instead he finds city buried in a
forest Of trees that look TO be fifty years cid
to which fact he finds impossible TO reconcile
himself

Webster's Eyes.

Mr.. Allen, in his article on Daniel
Webster in the Century, mentions
''great, soft eyes," as being peculiarly
attractive to children. This reminds me
of an incident which may perhaps show
that those eyes had sometimes differ
ent effect. Mr.. Webster was once
spending the summer in town near
Boston, and, as was his custom, attended
church regularly. both morning and
afternoon. On one occasion It fell to
the lot Of an unfledged youth TO try his
wings in that pulpit He rose, as was
natural, with some trepidation, to begin
the service. This trepidation gradually
increased, till toward the close of the
hymn he faltered perceptiblY. and as he
sat down by the minister of the parish,
he whispered: doctor, l don't know
to whom those eyes belong which are
directly facing me, but they are quite
too much for me and can not preach. F"
Mr.. Webster was responsible for an ex
temporaneous discourse that morning.

In the Troubetzkoi bastion there are

give admission TO the rats. In these
earthly hells are immured the prisoners
