The past Winter has been 9 good one
for protecting wheat, and the outlook is
good for another prosperous season for
this part of Kansas.
A second meeting of the Cowley coun-
ty Farmers Institute was held q few
days ago and plan of work was mapped
out. A full list of standing committees
were also appointed. The committee on
grass seeds reported rates received from
several eastern and western firms, and
the chairman of the Committee reported
confidential rates given to members of
the Institute by Winfield seed firm,
Brotherton & Silver. He also showed a
sample of English blue grass seed, and
stated that On the farm of Mr.. Hanna,
north of Winfield, it had succeeded we'll,
sown on rocky knowls and tramped in
by stock; would keep green all Summer
and was much preferred in Kentucky
and in parts of this State where it had
been tried, to Kentucky blue grass. The

tutions and will order grass seed of them

Wyandotte Herald: A farmer. whose
name we do not care to mention, came
to town one day last week and drove
over to Kansas City, where he purchased
enough groceries to carry him till after
harvest. On his return he stopped in
front of business house and run in to
purchase small article he had forgotten
to buy in the city. He was not in the
store five minutes until he looked out of
the window and saw mule shaking one
of his sacks of -four. He told the mer-
chant the reason he went to Kansas City
to buy his goods was because he could
let his wagon stand in the street without
being molested by hungry mules or
horses. He said: "The last time / was
hereI lost several dollars worth of
groceries by that same mule, and now
there goes $500 worth of -four, and, by
the eternal, will never spend another
dollar in Wyandotte until the people |
shut up their stock and allow farmers to |
come to town and trade without being
and subjected to heavy loss |
from depredations by stock" 1t may be
that it is good policy on the part of the
council to allow stock to run at large but |
we cannot see it in that light.

that consumptives should be the least ap-
prehensive of their own condition, while
all their friends are urging and beseech-
ing them to be more careful about expos

sidered one of the most alarming symp-
toms of the disease, where the patient is
reckless and will not believe that he is
in danger. Reader, if you are in this
condition, do not neglect the only means

be regular in your habits, and use faith
fully of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery." 1t has saved thousands who
were steadily failing.

Cheating the Doctor. fDAheim KaIender.f

Dr. Hauffe, the celebrated physician of Vienna, one day received . telegram from Cracow requesting him to repair thither with all haste, as Moses Abrahamson was very i'll and required advice. This Moses was known to be one of the richest men Of his tribe. The doctor, who had an enormous practice, and vas vesy busy at the time, wired back: My fee viii be 1000 dsxins." A second despatch urged him to come without delay, but added that he might surely do 1t for less. !"

Bacon and Shakespeare.

A correspondent writing to the New York EveSfag POst says:
 In yesterdays issue of your popular journal your readers are informed that the current number of SAakesbsariaza contains the following: "A very re- markable discovery has been placed on record by the Hon. lgnatius Donneily, who claims to have proof positive that Bacon was the author of Shakespeare's plays, and that this was accomplished by means of cipher which Bacon twice descrlbed,'" etc.
 This is an important discovery, if true {; but can it be possible, except from some undiscovered design on the part of Bacon. that that profound scholar, philosopher and statesman could be guilty of such murders of the kings English and such deplorable incongruities. chronological and geographical, as we find in Shakes peare's plays2 If Bacon was the author of these plays, he assumed the disguise of an ignoramus in writing them and what possible motive could he have had for such false pretences as the remark of Theseus Midsummer Nights Dream ") that < St. Valentines day is past "; as the AhAInS oA rhcuSnuiGAs, boSCnmcns anu modern Italians with ancient Britons and Romans in the time of the Roman occupation of England ("Cymbeline ?; as his shipwreck in Bohemis Winters Tale y; his lions and great snakes in the forest of Ardennes C. As You Like It "), and his Spaniards and French knights in the time of Pericles. The heavy, turgid, and tedious speeches of his English kings in Shakespeare's plays could never have been written by Bacon, and the coarse hufIoonery and pot-house wit of Falstaf and his fellows were not in the line ot the author of the "Novum Or ganum."

A POst's Symposium. Philadelphia News.1

Edmund Gosse, the English poet pro- lessor, who has been received with open arms by society and by the literary guild of America, came bearing a number of letters and gladsome messages from some ot the leading literary men of Great Britain to Walt Whitman.
 On Tuesday MT. Gosse sent letter to Mir. Whitman that he would be pleased to call on him at his home in Camden. To this the Camden poet answered that the latchstring hung on the outside, and that Edmund Gosse would find a warm welcome whenever he chose to call. On Saturday morning the English poet called.
 MT. Gosse had many pleasant things to tell of Aifced Tennyson, who, in per sonal appearance, very much resembles Whitman himself so Henry Irving says. Tennyson, as Mir. Gosse describes him, is a good deal of a stalwart, or, in the laureate's own words, "a man-soul fed on strong meat" His friendship and deep appreciation of the Good Gray Poet is not oi recent growth, and but for Walks indifferent health, the result of paralysis in one side, ten years ago, he would have accepted Alfred Tennyson's earnest invi- tation, long since received, to speEd a month in summer at Tennyson's country home in England.
 Mir. Gosse described an evening enter tainment in London recently at which the author of " Locksley Hall" delighted a considerable audience with recitations for half an hour from " Whitman's Leaves of Grass" Tennyson's manner of read ing is described as almost bouncing," robust clear and resonant, and the reel tstion took his audience by storm.
 Swinborne was never much admired by MT. Whitman, albeit that sad, bad poet in his Poems of the Sea can "lure the gentle lassie back" as Shakespeare says, with as much power as Tennyson him. self
 The only poem of Swinburne's Whit man comedies satiric power to are the recent verses in which each stanza ends with the words, |" o Lordsi our Gods"
 MT. Gosse, in his quiet way, describes Swinborne as poet with "tiny body" but head out of all proportion to his body-not out of shape, but of colossal proportions. He also describes him in conversation as graceful, brilliant and fluent talker on every subject, science, literature or politics. Apropos of the Good Gray Poet and his friends, George H. Boker recently wrote to friend ot w. W.'s:
 Print what you please of anything that have ever written of Walt Whitman and shall stand by it, rescue or no rescue. l shall read the article on Folk Poetry" in the Quarterly, albei, it is not my habit nor taste to read their damned reviews" nor will it be, until the critic who writes establishes his intellectual equality with the author whom he criticises.
 Give my love to Whitman and tell him to get well and to live long for the worlds sake. GEORGE H. BOXER.
 Gilbert Harrison, the actor, who has recently written readable and charming life of Payne, the author of "Home, Sweet Home" sent Whitman last week copy of his book inscribed:
 "To my dear old friend Walt Whitman, who dared to show his naked soul in heroic utterance of guileless truths."

Johnson on Rhyme and Blank Verse.
 London Times.l

Jonnson on Nnyme ana Blank Verse.
 London Times.l
 Johnson's preference of rhyme to blank verse has often been imputed to him as a crime. and by many, we suspect, who are totally unacquainted with his reasons for 1t. These are to be found stated, shortly, but very clearly, in the Lives of Milton and Akenside. "It is by the music of metre," he says, "that poetry has been disseminated in all languages, and in languages melodiousiy con structed, with a due proportion of long and short syllables, metre is sufficient but the music of the English heroic line strikes the ear so faintly that it is easily lost, unless all the syllables of every line cooperate together; this cooperation can only be obtained by the preservation of every verse, unmingled with another, as a distinct system of sounds; and this distinctness is obtained and preserved by the arti6ce of rhyme" Another reason is given in the Life ot Akenside": The exemption which blank verse affords from the necessity of closing the sense with the couplee betrays luxuriant and active minds into such self-induleence that they pile image upon image, orna- ment upon ornament, and are not easily persuaded to close the sense at all." A great many persons, we imagine, are slii under the impression that Dr. iohn- son admitted no exceptions to the rule that he condemned blank verse unreserv- ediy, and would have had every poem in the English language written in rhyme. Nothing can De further from the truth. Whatever be the advantage, of rhyme, he says, he cannot wish that Milton had employed it. Bnt like other heroes. he Is to be admired rather than iuitafed.1 ; Rhyme can be safely spared when the subject can support itself.n But on in. feSior subjects writers who hope only to please must condescend to rhyme." He thinks that Akenside, Thompson, and Young were right to adopt blank verse And with all these resezvatiors, 1t is not easy to see why modern critics should differ from him. That rhyme is . cheek upon discurxiveness, and that where dis cursiveness b not essential to the poem 1t is vholesosne check that where the sublimity Of the subject does not carry us along with it rhyme sustains the at. tention and grasi6es the ear when there is nothing to attract the imagination ;| that blank verse. in short, is suitable b the very highest kinds of poeuy, and to those also of which diffuseness is n e. sential element, while rhyme is better adapted to the less elevated and to sub jects which admit of greater concentra- tion, are propositions which we may ac- cept or reject, but which surely are not at 6rst sight so utterly unreasonable as to l call for instantaneous condemnation.
