CAMBRmoE, Kan, Nov 10, 1880.

Hon. y. M. Pcrktn0, M. o.
DEAR sm:--PArdon the liberty take
in calling your attention TO some matters
that seem Of great importance. During
the campaign Just ended found great
complaint from the eK-unlon soldiers and
others, TO the effect that the administra-
ton had not properly recognized the sol
dieFs In regard 10 the distribution OF
official patronage / mention the post
offices at Arkansas City, Columbus, Cher
Fyvale, Winfield and many other places
as examples Of the idea l wish 10 convey.
The laws Of our state say that all else
being equal, the soldiers shall have hrst
consideration, and II is claimed that the
now existing state Of siYairs la a viola
tiOn Of the spirit, II not the letter OF
our laws. Examination OF the books and
reports show a very great discrimination
between the number Of pensions and
ratings OF the different states, notably
Kansas and Indiana. Kansas, at same
ratio On TO numbers and ratings as In
diana, would have more than four times
the number Of pensioners che now has,
and should draw fifteen or sixteen mil
lions OF dollars, whereas she only draws
between two aud three millions.
Kansas people, being an agricultural
people, complain that through the tariff
system Of taxation, by which the pension
fund ls created, they pay into the fund
Far more than their soldiers get back, and
as they derive no benefit from "prOtec-
tlOn to home industries" they think
very great wrong is being done the
whole people Of Kansas as well as her
soldier citizens. You know our honOTed
president has said, "lt is no time to
weigh the services OF the soldiers In
apOtheCary's scales"
Another matter beg leave to call your
attention to, Is that OF the opening OF the
territory 10 settlement The question as
TO Che ownership Of that country has
been thoroughly discussed and decided,
and l6does seem as II there could be no
excuse for further delay Thousands OF
the citizens OF Kansas, as we'll as other
states, have lost their homes through the
mortgage system Of distributing money,
which has been In vogue for the last
twenty years, and they are anxiously
looking forward TO the time when they
may begin anew / Rm unable TO SEQ
why this should not be done at the COM
ing session OF the present Congress, and
allow settlers to 90 In not later than Feb
ruary 10th to March 1st, so as not to re-
peat the folly Of ofkeeplng them out until
too late to put In crops, as was the case
with Oklahoma This great government
can be trusted 10 pay to the Indians
whatever q proper investigation should
show to be right, whether the country ls
settled or not.
These seem 10 me to be matters Of
great Importance TO KansasSSS9and the
west, and / ask your consideration OF
them from the fact that you will have an
early opportunity to act, and an early
consideration of them seems necessary.
Again begging pardon for what may
seem an intrusion, am, respectfully,
B.H. CLOvRR.

Jacob Irgens in Scientific American !:
In recent issue Of your paper noticed
some statistlis, given BY the Medical Rec
ord, IN regard to tho relations between
alcoholism. crime and insanity. In 30
doing the paper states that in Norway,
contrary to other countries, there is de-
creasein alcoholism as we'll as in crime,
and that this is due, not to prohibition.
but to lessening the humber of licenses
Admitting the above 10 be fact, let me
add that the liquort business in most
towns and cities in Norway is under the
management of an association. which Is
again controlled by the municipal authors
tiles, that the goods are analysed and ex-
amined before being sold, that minors or
intoxicated persons eannot buy any
liquors and that one glass at time Is all
each person can obtain. In the liquor
shops there Is no furniture, and ne games
of any Kind are allowed. The sale of
liquors in bottles takes place in centrally
located stations and is run on the same
principle as the retailing in glasses, The
dividends of the business 80 to pay for
public impro vements. such as the build
ing of parks aud highways. homes fot
aged people, reform schools for straysd
children, and the like. The scheme has
been in practical use now for several
years. and so far has been very successful
in diminishing the alooholism and crime
of the country,

How They Did 1t In Vermont During the
~ Last Century.
The Rutland Herald tolls story of how.
neur the close of the last century, q physi-
clan, Frederick Aubery, living in the neigh
borhood Of Burlington, loft his wife and
child to make a visit to Germany. AS he
did not return for some years and no It'd
tnRS came from him, his wife, supposipg
him to sbedead, was joined in marriage TO
Abel Castle, Of Burlington. Not long after
this marriage very unexpectedly and unsi
heralded. tho doctor came back. His wife
now married to another man, refused to
20 back to him, saying "she had buried
him once and would not bury him again. .
DR.. Aubery then departed with rcsgna-
tion, but the writer in the Rutland Herald
has Just found the reason Tor the doctor's
yielding up his wife Without complaint. He
says" While visiting recently at the late
home OF Mrs Esther Ingraham, OF Wheaton,
H., daughter of Abel Castle, was shown
receipt found among her papers, copy Of
which is here given:

Abel Castle, L certain obi cation, for one COW

tho world to the date hereof, or OF any demand
on the woman that said Castle is now married
to, which was, once my lawful wife, say re-
ceived by me. FREDERICK AUBERY,

The above consideration, one COW and a
heifer, received by the bereaved husband,
was In those days probably regarded as o
very generous equivalent for wife; and il
Is certainly largely in excess Of what Kan

wife, which was only 1.-TWO dollars In cash

The probability il that for agricultural
purposes the reservation land is not equal
to Emmons County land. Along the
Bad River to the distance of twenty-five
miles from the Missouri there are high
and sometimes nearly perpendicular
banks, while the "fats' between the
banks are generally not wide--say from
half mile to mile. These fats in
some places are covered with timber. Bad

desiring to get farming land will come

and wood along the streams-were taken
long ago by half-breeds and squaw men.

settlers right must be bought. In this
connection 1t may be remarked. What is
there to hinder these half breeds aud

there is no record Of the land before the

EDWIN eoorA.s peeur.
Tho Great Trageaian's First Appearanc
Upon tho Regular stage.


September ~, 1849, Edwin Booth made
his first appearance upon the regular stage.
The event, which was accidental, occurred
at the Boston Museum, and the part the in
cipicnt actor took was the Insignificant one
Of Tressil, in Richard Ill In an article III
lfd,Tcr's Magazine, a few years ago, Will
| lam Winter, the most distinguished of
American critics and one Of Mr.. Booths
most intimate friends, describes the Incl
dent as follows: ..-
"Junius Brutus Booth, ,-his father, the
rival of Edmund Kean, and one Of the great
est tragedians that eyer lived, was then
keeping an engagement at the Museum, and
Edwin was in attendance on him as his
dresser Tressl had been cast to the
F! prompter of the theater; butit CHANGED that
this person wished to avoid the duty Of act
ing it, and that he succeeded in persuading
Edwin to undertake It, This arrangement
was made without the elder Booths kno,cl-
edge, and he only became aware Of it by
reading in the playbill the announcement
of his sons first appearance, duly under
lined. 'Foolp was all he said when he read
this announcement, and this remark was
not understood to signify encouragement
When the night came and Edwin had

"The boy took the spurs and went on for

negligently in the chair. Give me my
spurs, he said, again holding out his leg;
and this was all the comment that Edwin
Booths first appearance ever elected from
the parent whom he idolized He learned
subsequently, though, that his father had
been down at the wing and had watched

satisfaction, and then hastcncd bach to his

wdMEN As LAWMAKERS.
Prof. Cope Tells Why He Has No Desire

Prof Cope Tells why He Has No Destre
to Be Governed BY Them.
Most men, writes Prof E. D. Cope in the
Popular Science Monthly, who have associated
much with girls and women remember how
many needed lessons they have learned
from them in refinement and benevolence;
and how they have had, on the other hand,
to steel their minds against their aimless-
ness and pettiness. And from youth to
later years they have observed one
popularity for which no remedy has been
yet found, and that is, pronounced frailty
Of the rational faculty in thought or action.
This characteristic Is s'offset by a strength
and elevation of the emotional nature,
which hshines with hinextinguishable luster in
the wife and mother. It is to this that man
renders the homage Of respect, admiration
end such devotion as he,is capable Of. But,
are these tho qualities for our governorss
Men who display personal bias in ever SO
small q degree, unless accompanied by un-
usual merits of another kind, are not
selected by their fellows for position OF re-
sponsibility and trust Serong under
standing, vigorous judgment, and the
absence Of i" fear, favor and afectiop,n are
what men desire in their governors; for
only through minds Of that character can
justice be obtained.
ou account OF tuelr stronger sympatn1eS
girls always think themselves the moral
superiors Of boys, who are often singularly
devoid Of benevclence, especially toward
the lower animals Some women imagine,
for this reason, that their entire sex is
morally the superior Of the male. But q
good many women learn to correct this
opinion. In departments Of morals which
depend on the emotional nature, women arc
the superior; for those which depend on
the rational nature, man is the superior.
When the balance is struck, I oan see no in
feriority on either side. But the quality of
justice remains with the male. II is on This
that men md women must alike depend,
aud hence it is that women so often prefer
70 be Judged by men rather than by theis
own sex. 49, # gs ~

CALIFORNIA JOE,

General Clusters First Interview with This
Noted Indian Fighter.
During General Custer's career as an In
dian fighter. he had much assistance from
an original character, called "California
joe" who was not strong in grammar, and
had deplorable weakness for whisky, but
Gineral," so he began, at Custer's first In.
tervlew with him, "See hyar, Gineral, In
order that We hev no misunderstanding, I'd
like to ask ye few questions" The General
bade him say on.
"Air you an ambulance man, ur boss
mRn2''
"What do you mean by that"
II mean, do you b'leve In catchin' Injuns
In ambulances or on horseback"
Custer still pretended ignorance, and re.
piled: "Well, Joe, I believe In catching In
dams wherever we can find them, whether
they are found In smbulances or on horse
back.n
''That amt what I'm drivin' at. s'pose
you're after Iniuus, and really want to hev
tussle with 'em, would ye start after 'em
on hossback, or would ye climb into an am
bulance and be hauled after 'em1 That's
the pint I'm headin' fur.n
~ should prefer to be on horseback, pro.
vided really wished to catch the Indians !;
but II wished them to catch me, would
adopt the ambulance system.'
"You've hit the nail squar on the head.
I've bin with 'em on the plains when they
started out after the Injuns on wheels, list
as if they war goin' to 4 town funeral in
the States, an they stood bout as many
chances NV catchin' Injuns ez A.x.mule

Ki.o-tees, just as much. Why, that sort Nv
work Is only fun fur the Iajuns; they don't
they peppered 1t to US, an we ardpin' nuthin'
q the time"
Evidently California Joe knew thing or
two about Indian warfare, and was able to
express his meaning with clearness II not
with elegance.
He could write, also, as is shown by the
following letter, which the reader is left to
punctuate as he pleases.
