Interesting to Tobacco Growers.


The following letter is self-explanatory,
and we call the attention Of growers and
sellers and buyers OF tobacco to the provis-
ions OF the internal revenue law explained
| therein. Too great care cannot be exercised
in complying with the law, and much trouble
and expense may be saved by closely strack-
ing" it:

the special taxes as such, and to no other
persons; except that

tion-that Is, on the premises where It was
raised-tobacco of their own growth and
raising. at retail, directly to cons,snserws'p an

Iwould be glad to have you furnish me

this letter publicity in your, neighborhood,
so that persons may not ignorantly involve

Kansas.


The Atchison Globe is always getting
of something spicy and the following
in regard to Kansas will be appreciated:
IL YOU are an old man, with the fire dy-
ing out of your heart, and the buoyancy
leaving your limbs; if you are looking
at the gray clouds overhead, and long
ing for a land where your fading life
may pass away in peace, come to Kan
sas. Here the sky is as blue as the sky
of Italy; the air is full of fragrance, and
the land echoes with the voices OF happy
thousands, who work beneath the bright
light of sunshine, and work beneath the
pale glimmer of the stars. Ii you are
q Young man toiling on as your father S
toiled. in worn out and barren deserts
of the east, if you would like to live
where the soil rewards the tiller, where
the grain waves and sparkles in the
morning dew, and swells the cribs in the
fall: where the very air breaths strength
and energy and happiness: if you would
like to live where honest effort IS re-
wsrded. where the banners OF prosper
itv wave, and the quaint spectre OF star
walton crosses the line into another
state. come to Kansas. If you are
young woman, full Of golden visions,
and would like to live where you can
pick up husband on every section line,
come To Kansas. There never was
such a country for the best brands OF
husbands; they run loose on the streets
and you meet them everywhere. Ii
YOU want one, put on your beautiful
garments, oh daughter Of the east. and
come to Kansas. The country is filling
up fast; they come by the rafting train;
they come foot, and they come on
horseback. Before many years every
quarter section will have house upon
it, and the hills that now know only
the spangIed cow and untamed broEco,
will echo to the tread of the book agent,
as civilization sweeps onward. This is
a country where the sun used to shine
through the whole summer, and the
earth dried up like brick in furnace,
where the hot winds swept up with
their deadly breath, and before them
the winter wheat withered and the corn
fell. Now the sun takes rest for an
hour or two and gives the rain a chance;
the hot winds have gone to New Jersey;
the face of the earth seems to glow with
beauty and health, and the people who
live in this marvellous country go around
congratulating each other and try to an
alyZe their gladness. Even the dogs
are so overcome with joy that they catch
hydrophobia and 60 into fits over it.
Our cities are growing; the railroads
change their timetables every week to
accommodate new cities that were not
on the last one issued. There isn't a
man idle who wants to work. Farmers
pump water for their cattle with wind
mills, and do their blowing sitting upon
a spring with box of cigars on one
side. In the east they carry the
water from the nearest creek, and walk
behind plOw until they have no dis
tinct idea whether they are showing the
machine or the horses pulling it. The
man who can't thrive, prosper and grow
rich in Kansas would starve in ba-
kerry. If you want to see how this will
assay to the line, come to Kansas.

Senator Edmunds as a Rascal.

1t seems that the great and good Sen
tor Edmunds, of Vermont. who has
posed for years as the watchdog of leg
iSlation, has been guilty of drawing
money from the United States Treasury
without due warrant of law. While he
was president of the Senate and the Of
flee of Vice President was made vacant
by the elevation of Arthur to the Pres
idency, Senator Edmunds drew $4,000
per year for his services. He was only
entitled to $4,000 as Senator, and the
other S3, 200 was taken to raise his sal
airy to the figures set for the Vice Pres
dent. \ recent search of the statutes
has shown that there is no provision of
law to warrant Senator Edmund's over
draft, and the question arises whether
he is not morally bound to return about
81, 900 to the treasury. Several other
Senators who filled the office Of preSi-
dent of the Senate have also drawn eX-
ira pay for that position, but then it is
hardly possible that any of them will
feel like making restitution. Still. if
Senator EdmmdS hopes to be the NOM
inee of his party for his party for Presi-
dent in 1883 he ought to draw his check
for the amount he owes the government
and send it to the Secretary of the
Treasury as soon as possible.

1t is claimed by some that Kansas
City is built on Kansas soil, that our
jurisdiction is to the east bank of the
Missouri river. Attorney General
Bradford is reported as looking into the
matter, and, of course, if he finds suf-
ficient grounds to institute suit, one
WILDE commenced, and abig fight made
between the states of Kansas and Mis-
souri,, for large and wealthy city.
Referring to this subject the Kansas
City Journal says:
Kansas is credited with wanting to
take Kansas city in. We venture to
say that all Kansas needs to do is to
come and take us if she can-there
would not be any kicking resistance
developed against such an undertaking.

AN INHUMAN OUTRAGE.-A report comes
! to Wheeling, W. Va from Clay Court House.
of the inhunan beating of q young woman,
named Miss Nancy Hoover by moo o.
,, dozen or fifteen masked men. The crime
is presumed to have been committed on last
Thursday morning just after midnight, ana
the location of the outrage was on what IS
known as Blue Mountain, about four or nVe
miles from the county seat. About ! O'CLOCK
in the morning mob, all the members OF
which were masked and we'll armed, arous'
ed Mr. Hoover from bis sleep and told hlm
they bad come for his daughter. The fright
eued fatber in vain protested and endeavor-
ed to obtain some explanation of the pur.
pose of his midnight visitors, but it was of
no avail, and the girl was taken from her
bed and carried halfmile or SO into the
woods. There she was bound to q tree and
whipped terribly with hickory withes. The
girl pleaded in the most heartrendpg manner
with her scoundrelly captors, but to no pur-
pose, and when left alone was in an inseDsl'
bic condition. The mob is thought 10 have
been made up of friends and relatives of
married woman who had a suspicion that
an undue intimacy existed between the hus-
band and Miss Hoover, but this suspicion
has not yet been confirmed.

NOMINATION By WASHINGTON Rejected
Washiugton's nomination Of Colonel Benjamin
Fishbourue az naval officer at Savannah was re-
jected Washington, while promptly substituting
another name, sent 4 respectful remonstranco to
the Senate, showing painful consciousness OF
what he considered to be a reflection cast upon
his Judgment OF his motives. He said that he
did not doub tho reasons for election scanned to
the Senate 10 DC ample bat he submitted whether,
when The propricty of nomination appeared to
bc questionable, it might not be expedIent to ASH
tho reasons. He proceeded at once to state the
ground, upon which he had made the nomination,
which. were entirely conclusive. Washington S
statement was so impressive that the Scna:e i'm
mcdateiy confirmed the nomination oil inc SUP
stitutc, end no other nomination OF Washington
was ever rejected.
The only reason known for the refusal of the
Senate to confirm Colonel Fishbournc, was the OPP
position of Senator'S from Georgia, which was sup.
uosed to be political. and of tho kind which has
since become so familiar.-Harper Weekly.

THE burial of relative in Timur is q
very serious aud expensive business. 1t in
wolves gift to the deceased from all his
blood relatives, and, in return, burial
feast. If The deceased is . man of rank, this
feast is matter very often of ruin TO his
family. The fes;ivtv must be given, and
at the same time the hospitality is expected
to be extraordinarily lavish Consequently
it often happens that the day of the funeral
is indefinitely postponed fpr months, and
even for years, until the family has had
time to accumulate sufficient wealth of cat
lie and substance. Ia the meantime the
corpse is enclosed in mating and housed
either in a tree or hut and left TO itself.
Then for days there is a savage banqueting
and reve!ing, and the interment at last is
carried out. Among the more savage races OF
the Timur Liant Islands and Timur the skull
Of an ancestor is severed after burial and
kept as relic in place of honor within
the house.
