y Heath's Minstrels. Mobile Register Of
Jan. II, says: This excellent company Of
MINISTRIES gave one of their interesting
performances before very fattering audi
ence at the Opera House last night. Con
siderable rlyalrg has existed between them
and the Wilson s. Rankin combination
this season, which brought out good
crowd to see which OF the two was the
best. After visiting both performances,
we have no hesitation in saying that for
meritorious performance there IS no COM
parison between the two shows AS every
feature of the Mcintyre q Heath Com
pany is superior. The acrobatic perform
ances of An Sid. Guyer and Harding, was
leading feature Of the show and was a
departure from old line minstrelsy that
was enjoyed. Tile afterpiece She" was

THE CENTRAL STATE.
A Name Which Might Appropriately B
applied to Kansas.


applied to Kansas.
The State of Kansas. the seventh in
size of the thirty-eight composing the
American Union, has remarkable sit
uation. Lying in the western half of
the Mississippi Valley, it is midway
between the head waters of the great
river, in Minnesota, and its embouchure
in the Gulf. Its eastern frontier, too,
Is as far removed from the eliminating
ridge of the Rocky Mountains, which
forms the western boundary of the
drainage area. OF the region of the
Great Plains" then, Kansas is GEN.
trail. 1t is also central with regard TO
the whole country. The Red river of
Manitoba and the Gulf of Mexico are
equally distant from it, and it is as far
from the Atlantic coast as from the
Pacific shore. A spot in Davis County,
near Fort Riley, marked by monu-
ment to the memory of Major Ogden,
who located that military post, is
within few rods of the geographical
center of the United States. Her citi-
zens affectionately speak of Kansas as
the ''Sunfower State but when they
think of her pivotal position in his
tory, and her geographical situation,
then Kansas is the Central State"
|. This central position has much to do
with the population-shall we say pop
ularity?-Of the State. The climate,
though sharing in the extremes of its
intracOntinental position, has never a
long continuance of great heat or cold.
The days of any winter during which
the thermometer indicates below zero
may be counted on the fingers: the
heats of July are broken every few
days by a cooler regime. Being a
prairie State, the winds sweep most of
its surface unimpeded. Its people
speak of its strongest gales in jocular
phrase as kansas zephyrs." Few
airs breathe that are not welcome. An
the edge OF a blizzard from Montana,
suggests thankfulness for the usual
winds that blow. Cyclonic storms are
less common than in other parts of the
great valley, or even in Atlantic States.
The topography OF Kansas is typical
of the Great Plains. An important
feature of it is the moderate elevation
above sea-level, and the gradual in
crease OF that elevation westward.
Rivers cross the eastern frontier of the
State less than eight hundred feet
above tide-water: the northwestern
part of the State is over four thousand
feet. This is as high as Ben Nevis or
the Adirondacks: but there are no
mountains in Kansas. There are val
leys relatively deep. whose sides are
cut into ridges and isolated mounds,
but few regions of any extent where
the term hilly is justitiable. Three
districts only are thus definitely named:
the Blue Hills in the north, the Flint
Hills and Gypsum Hills in the SOUTH
