BACKLOG DREAMS.

Above the glowing embers
/ hear the backlog sing
The music it remembers
of some remembered spring;
Back to the branch forSaken
Return the lOcund choir,
And in the chimney waken
a melody of fire.
The sparks red blossoms glisten
And fash their chances brief
at me- WAC lean and listen,
And dream hear a leaf
OF some May morning sunny,
Low lisping in the tree
Or in his haunt of honey
bloom enamored bee
Or It's the soft wind blowing
Its sweetness from the south
A fragrant kiss bestowing
Upon the roses mouth
And ere the spell is broken,
Or darkness DER it slips,
see the scarlet token
OF love upon her lips
Without, the wind is bitter,
The snowiaSes fill the night;
Within, the embers glitter
And gid the room with light;
And in the fireplace, cleaning,
The backlog sings away,
And mingles all my dreaming
With birds, and blooms, and May!

MUCH BRIGHTER PRosPEcTsF FOR CORN.

In conversation with many of the stock
shippers who have been at the yards during
the past week a reporter has learned that
the prospects for n fair crop of corn in
many localities is much brighter than it
was some three weeks ago. The numerous
little showers during that time, while not
giving the ground a thorough soaking,
has been Il great benefit to the growing
Crop. Many of the farmers were firm in
their declarations three weeks ago that
their corn would not run five bushels to
the acre now say that they will get from
twenty to thirty bushels and that it will
lie good quality. They say it is
surprising to see how it has filled out and
the great Improvement in the general
ondiCion of the crop since they have been
getting the showers and. to say the farm
erS are eiated over the improved condition
OF their corn, is putting it mild. TO be
sure there are some localities where they
have not been favored with rain or if So
II came too late to DO any good, that the
crop viii not run to exceed five to ten
bushels to he acre But in such sections
OF the country there Is fair crop of old
corn still ON hand. The farmers in south
western Kansas, as a rule, will be much
better of this fail than they anticipated
few weeks ago. In case there is but one
third of a corn crop 1t viii bring Just as
much money into the state. or the
crop will be worth Just as much or
more than last years crop: for. in
stead of selling at twelve to fifteen
cents per hushel it viii bring three times
that amount. Then again many of the
farmers raised a new crop of wheat which
they harvested in first class condition and
many of them are now selling some Of
their crop at - TO 50 cents per bushel
The oats have turned out much better
than was figured on some weeks ago and
whereas the yield does not run as many
bushels to the acre As last year the quality
j. first class and they are selling today for
more than double what they sold for one
year ago. The average farmer IN south
ern Kansas has little to complain of this
year AZ compared with farmers in some Of
the other states. Now just lew words in
connection with the live stock interests Of
the farmers of this part of the country
Hold all the stock, both cattle and hogs.
that you think you can possibly get
through, even though YOU may have 10

present appearances both hogs and cattle
VIII sell Tor much more money. Don't be
10 ANXIOUS To unload your young hogs un-
til they are ripe for the market, when YOU
can realize much more money for them.
SEDGWICh COUNTN'S POOR FARM.
William Dudley, who lives on the coun-
~ poor farm. called yesterday with a sam
peof the corn which he Is raising for the
county. He says every stalk has at least
one ear on like the specimen shown us.
The ears would make the average eastern
farmers eyes stand ont. There are twenty
five acres and it viii average - bushels to
the acre. In addition to this they have
1hreshed one thousand and four bushels
of small grain What one farmer can do
can be done by every farmer in this valley
under like circumstances.

Pages in Congress.

About the brightest and iolliest lot OF
boys to be found anywhere in the coun-
try are the pages of the House and Sen
ate. There are sixteen of them in the
Senate and thirty three in the lower
chamber. Their ages range from nine to
fifteen. Each lad receives 49, 80 per diem
during the session, which in the '.long
turn is construed by law to mean at least
seven months, or 212 days, and in the
s'short turn" four months, or 121 days,
SO that their official compensation for a
single Congress of two sessions is at least
1882. 60-much more, indeed, than thou
sands of grown workingmen are enabled
to earn. Besides this salary the boys fire.
quently receive liberal gratuities from
generous Congressman and Senators,
which go to swell their already comfort
able incomes. Some of the brightest and
most active of the boys average regularly
as high as five or six dollars each day in
their earnings. Some Of the boys are
growing quite incipient moustaches but
most of them wear bangs and knicker-
bockers. Some of them are the sole sup
ports of their mothers, or sisters, or little
brothers, as the case may be. Philadel-
