that Is. the Issuing of bonds by irrespon-

cure the building of railroads throxgh
the new country. but really to sell them
in Wall street. In such enterprises the
roads are seldom built. The senator saws
that Missouri is now paying interest on

1t is proposed that a regiment of sol
diers be procured from every civilized
nation TO attend the Chicago worlds far,
and some wag suggests that a brigade of
colonies be gathered up from such states
of the union for the same purpose. The
latter would be much the easiest under
taking, ana could be accomplished with
out cost to the states-there would be
plenty of volunteers who would pay

The Democratic press seems to find
much relief from the circumstance that
The convention of Republican leages at
Nashville complimented President Har-
Tison upon his ''eminently wise, loyal

failed TO mention his name in connec-

simple hearts, (the ID. p.) the convention
was not held to nominate a candidate

kearney Hub learns that he has also re-

ing to go into the gubernatoriai race for
all there there is in it. This is probably
an aspersion on a good man. though his
political leaning affords some ground for
some such suspicion.

THE EAGLES SEX QUESTIONED.

Mrs. Anna Ii. Shaw. the female suf-
frage shrieker from Boston-Of course
from Boston-in a speech at Atchison
the other night, discoursed all about wo-
men and their rights and wrongs, their
ills and burtnens, the tyranny of man
and all that old course of chestnutty
slops. The Globe SAYS she incidentally
referred to Marsh Murdock as the great
EST and the only greatest liar on earth
AnnaS head is chucked down between
her shoulders i'll such a fashion as to
shorten her backbone. rendering it ex-
ceedingly stiff and rigid. Her head be-
ing fixed, her eyes, like the headlight of
q locomotive, never discern but the one
track. Among other things the reverend
female declared that the bird at the head
of the EAGLE is female. Probably that
accounts for the fact OF our being such
screamer. However, the thing that sur
prises us most is that the irate Anna
should have claimed that the Wichita
EAGLE was anything but bald-pated

young, and he was dark and stalwart and
she had the blue eyes, golden hair and
plump form bequeathed by Teutonic an
cestry They stood at the corner clasping
hands in farewell, when suddenly shrill
voice smote the sunny atmosphere that en-
veloped them and cried: "Say, Mister,
you've forgot something" He turned and
looked the question which he did not
speak. you've forgotten to put kiss on
her head" was shouted derisively. Two
pair of hands parted suddenly; young
man strobe briskly toward the East river
as if he had just recollected an appoint
ment in Brooklyn; young woman sped
swiftly down Eldridge street with her chin
in the air, and tattooed urchin stood
upon his hands on the pavement and clap
ped his heels together in glee.-New York

Out on Fillmore street there is big

on the curb, with bedraggled tail and
dropping wings, and whistles "Any Old

and whistles to make it repeat it let's out a
wailing shrek expressive of the supremest
disgust. A favorite trick of this bird is to
whistle for dogs, when every cur within
three blocks runs to it. When the dogs
congregate the magpie flies up on butch
