I'VE are compelled to apologize to
some of our readers" says the editor
of the Arcola (E,an.,) Triumph, in a
recent issue of the journal, ''for the
absense of our regular column of re-
ligious news in this weeks paper. But
yesterday afternoon, just before going
to press, the gentleman who has charge
of that department came into our new
Office over Cy. Fairfeld's place with as
elegant jaw as ever saw. He insult
ed everybody about, from the proprie-
tor to the devil, and finely turned his
dirty attention to our wife, who had
come down to visit us in our new quar-
tiers and with whom, it seems, he had
some previous acquaintance. When
we got through with him some of the
boys carried him over to Girk Hart
meyers shop, and he's lying there
now. We trust to be on deck again
with religious news all right next
week, and in the meantime would an.
nounce that there will be regular serv
ices this evening at the Methodist Epis
copal chapel on Mansion avenue. Rev
Edward Ashley will preach, while
Miss Kit Larrabee will preside at TIT

DEMOCRATIC papers go into rhapso-
dies over the gallantry of Mcclellan
and Hancock as defenders of the union,
and have spasms if anything is said
calculated to cast smirch upon their
fame as such. Possibly it is because
of the extreme scarcity of the article.
1t certainly is not caused by love of the
union, or they would be more careful
how they cast slurs on equally as gal
lent men who are republican.

Several of our exchanges mention
the fact that there is living in the city
of Emporia somewhat of an infant
musical prodigy named Fredericks.
The child alluded to is the six year old
daughter of Honorable Thomas Sedg-
wick, one of the leading lawyers of the
state. The mothers name was former
ly Fredericks. The child seems to
possess phenomenal instinct in re-
gard to music. She readily repeats
quite difficult pieces on the piano after
they have once been played for her.
