From the Boston Traveller

From the Boston Traveller
The sharp. personal controversy
W hich took place III the senate between
Senator Brown and Senator ingalls,,
of Kansas, was most remarkable
scene. ingalls, is !, master of bitter i'll
veciivc and biting sarcasm. There
is no man in the senate chamber who
| Is able to cope with him in the use of
these weapons of debate. and when he
gets loo-e he runs riot and is extreme
| " apt to tramplc on everything in his
way Ingalls, is a native of Middle
ton, Massachusetts, and graduated
from Williams College. He is proud
| of his native state. and one of his most
eloquent moments was spent few
days ago in praise Of ter good
name and fair fame. Senator Brown
has lost no opportunity To sheer at
the civilization of Massachusetts. Our
two senators maintained silence under
Browns frequent castigaiions. They
| have seemed TO be daZcd al the audac
ity of the Georgian, but whether III

and allowed Mr.. Brown 10 have his

looked al the Georgia iiat"r'- per
| Torrance with great deal oil curiu,i-
~, and still more imp thence. Brown
was outgrowin" the confines OF Gror-
gia. and WAS rapidly spreading himself
all over the union. II wa pretty thin

himself felt. Til, WAS the condition
of things when Brow put his
heavy heel IN ing 'll> ~"r'
toe. You know the ma n.!er
of the story, a. it occurred in the
senate. lngai!s j., perhaps. the one
senator who ha- no need 10 revise his
! speeches. They are printed a, They
are spoken. The ideas are framed in
a splendid selection from hi, extensive
vocabulary. and mosi of his spec hes
are fit to publish in a magazine. H.
has. therefore. little patience with
those Of his colleagues who are II (
equally gifted. The Georgia senator
gave him the opportunity. and the
country is still wonderin" how The
southerHer could have set still III his
seat while he drew portrait, which
will stand a Ion" a. Brown is alive ~
the most complete picture of hi>
political record. In person Ing
all> j. tall and extremely
thin senator Ills face is
furrowed and his sharp. black eyes
CLEAN like stars behind large specia-
cles He wears mustachc and a
small patch of whi>kcrs in the form of
an imperial. which serves 10 hide his
thin lips, but which leaves a determin
cd looking jaw exposed. Ten wears
ago his hair was almost jet black, but
now it is an iron gray, rapidly whit
ening, so that in five years more ii
will be entirely so. He is a most pc
culiar man in debate. When con
trovcr>y in which he is interested in
is going on, he l,.Dks hungry for the
FRAY. In manner he is an imposing
and most impressive speaker His
words roll out attuned by most mag
niticeniIy mpduiated voice and he
makes but few gestures, but these are
always gracefully appropriate. He has
attained distinction both a. a jOnrDai-
ist and LAWYER, but unlike Senator
Brown he is comparatively poor
man.

SMILING. SUNNY KANSAS.

Chicago Journal.
The rapid development of Kansas
has been the wonder of the whole ma
ton. She became a state twenty-:hrec
years ago, after having passed through
tie more bitter struggle against the
introduction of slavery that is on rec
ord Kansas is "A slice from the juici-
est side of the earth. \ few
wears ago il WIS n nameless wilder
ness, rocking with dishonor and
ROBBED with disrcpute. To-day it is
the garden of the world, rcdolent with
the fragrance of the orchard and vint-
age, teeming with the homes of thrifty
people. pulSing with the vim and vigor
of progress. and mellow with the
bloom of the almost perennial harvest.
Ia 20, while the nation was celebrat
ing its centennial, she sent To its eXhi
biuou the most magnificent collection
of fruits, vegetables and grain ever
made by an agricultural people.
Last year Kansas sent to store
house a golden stream of grain, filled
hundreds of their empty trains with
the choicest of herds and flOcks, and
standing on the threshold of another
wears bounty sends greeting and well
come to half a million of their souls
who would try their fortunes on her
unbrokcn prairics.
What Kansas will be fifty years
hence is beyond the comprehension of
the people Today.
Southern Kansas is land of fruit
and flowers There are orchards of
fruit everywhere; every farm has its
peach orchard of five, ten, fifteen or
twenty acres: they are perfectly
hcalihful; know not the blight that
com.s 10 the famous orchards of Mich
igan and Maryland, and grow a fruit
that would delight the senses of con-
noisseur. Apples are doing well:
pears are fine: he apricot, almond
and nectsrine flourish the grape
is a much at home as on the
Pacific slope. never saw
a country where fruits came sooner
lnto bearing or any more easily grown
than here. Flowers are a. universal
a. reaching savannahs. The southern
prairie.is the great Gods conservato-
nv and blossoms into beauty from
April 10 the golden October DAYS. The
wavfarer passed with delighted senses
over leagues of bloom. and breathed
