Col W. H. Rossington, the Topeka
lawyer, told me lately, says Web
wilder, that the succession of grasses
and of settlers in Kansas has been
very similar. First the buffalo grass,
then the blue stem, and then the blue
grass and clover. The first suuatter
in like manner was poor and rude.
He sold his quarter for five dollars an
acre, received more money than he
ever saw before. and went west to re-
peat the experiment. No. = was a
very fair farmer who fenced the land.
made some improvements and saw
the railroads come in. He sold for
from SO to $50 an acre, felt rich,
went to town to live or went west. No.
3, who bought him out, is the new
Kansas, and the new Kansas. He
has come to stop He soon has a
beautiful home; he educates his chill
dren; he lives in comfort. and reap
ing the harvest shown by the sturdy
pioneer, he places Kansas to the front
rank of states-the blue grass and
white clover garden spot.

Last week we published an extract.
showing what the situation on county
seat matters was in Sherman county.
On the 18th inst, some 200 men from
Goodland, armed with Winchester RI
fles, went to Eustis, arrested officers,
and took forcible possession of the
town. They went to the court house,
and took possession of the records
and carried them to Goodland, all the
while threatening to burn and kill if
resistance was offered by the citizens
of Eustis. The county seat fight was
in the courts undecided, and the &C.
ton of the mob in their riotous pro-
ceedings was simply outrageous.
There is no excuse for such action.
Undoubtedly,public feeling is at fever
heat over the location of the county
seat of Sherman county, ,and, undoubt-
edly, many good citizens participated
in the mob which, in violation of law,
order and decency, placed Eustis in
such terror, but such will, hereafter, in
cooler moments. realize the disgrace
brought upon their town and citizens
by such actions The CAT has ever
steered clear of the county seat fight
in Sherman county, deeming it mat
Ter belonging wholly to the citizens
Of that troubled comfy, but this LAST
proceeding reaches to q fragrant vio-
Iation of our state law, and as loyal
citizens we must condemn and discoun-
tenance such acts.

The Sum- dispatch T rom Salina, Kan,

Those who are left are in such an en-
feebled condition that, should anoth-
er blizzard come apon them in the

deaths will be appalling. There is not
only lack of fuel, but the food supply
is so short that starvation stares many

PORPOISES AT PLAY,
P1ayfulness and Agility of the Seemingly
Lazy Creatures.

Mr.. Colbeck. writing of his cruise
upon the Black Sea, describes. in an
en- tertaining manner, TIE antics OF the
porpOiseS as he watched them from the
steamers deck. The playfulness and
agility of the porpoisc in these seas
were very conspicuous.
A shoal tumbling in the distance,
10 port or starboard. and sometimes far
astern, would become aware of the
presence of a vessel, and, skimming
alongside with incredible speed, dart
one over another, and finally reach the
bows: then a marine game would begin,
beautiful and exciting TO behold. Turn
ing from side 10 side, and sometimes
completely over, their white bellies
silvery CLEAN, the porpoises would
dart, now rising above the wave to
take in Il fresh stock of air. and then
diving completely under the bows, and
appearing on the other side. apparently
as full of frOlic as fish could be. With
delicate precision they would regulate
their speed to that of the vessel. allow
ing the vessel sometimes to touch the
tips of their tails. and then. as if their
joy was eNuberant, too much to con-
tain, dart away at five times the speed
of the vessel, and come skimming back
again 10 meet her. When the porpoise
is seen breaking the water from a dis
tance it has all the appearance of
very lazy creature. But when seen in
clear seas, completely under water. the
gracefulncss and velocity of its motion,
explained partly by the perfect curve
of its body. either way. TO the taperine
nose and tail, can not be surpassed. 1t

Crows in Nebraska.

An Omaha letter says that the chief
features of Nebraska, next to billiards
and heroic schoolma' ans, is crows
These crow colonies are well organized
and evidently know what they are
about. The wonder is that their in
stinct, which in crows and ravens bor-
ders close upon intelligence, does not
send them farther south during the cold
season.. With the regularity Of the sun
hey come across the river from Council
Bluffs, filing the air with their hoarse
calls. They are tame and feed with the
poultry in private premises, and try titles
with the dogs for the bones. in which
contest they are usually victorious.
They are the street scavengers of the
city, and rs numerous as the children
in porulous districts. They gather
like committees on public improve
ments in unoccupied districts, and with
their crow pantCmime look as though
they were stalking out corner lots. In
The late afternoons their preparation
for returning to their night haunts is
evidently no haphazard operation.
Some winged sentinel that evidently
takes notes of time sends down from
the upper air his hoarse signal Is the
Mussulman from his turret, and in a
twinkle all heads are turned toward
the east, the black mass moves anG
flies of, and, as far as TIE eye can see
stretches i'll Tapping clots across the
