Kansas Election in Pioneer Days

The next day, to their great discom
future, our settlers Numbered upon
county election. Trudging into Lib
ertyville, one of the new mushroom
towns springing up along the military
road that leads from Fort Leaven-
worth to Fort Riley, they found agreat
crowd of people gathered around
Lighthouse, in which the polls We're
open. County officers were to be
chosen, and the pro-slavery men, as
the Borderers were now called in this
part of the country, had rallied in
great numbers to carry the election
for their men. All was confusion and
tumult. Rough-looking men, we'll
armed and generally loud-voicel, with
slouched hats and long boards, were
galloping about, shouting and making
all the noise possible. for no
purpose that could be discovered.
"Hooray for Cap'n Patel" was the only
ineligible cry that the newcomers
could hear; but who Captain Pate was,
and why he should be hurrahed for,
nobody seemed to know. He was not
candidate for anything.
"Hullo! there's our Woburn friend,
John Clark" said Mr.. Howell. Sure
enough, there he was with a vote in
his hand going up to the cabin where
the polls were open. A lane was
formed through the crowd of men who
lounged about the cabin, so that a
man going up to the door to vote was
obliged to run the gauntlet, as it We're,
of one hundred men, or more, before he
reached the door, the lower half of
which was boarded up and the upper
half left open for the election officers
to take and deposit the ballots.
Il don't believe that man has any
right to vote here" said Charlie, with
an expression of disgust on his face.
"Why, he came into the territory with
us, only the other day, and he said he
was going up on the Big Blue to settle,
and here he is trying to vote!"
WELL" said Uncle Charlie, II allow
he has just as good right to vote as
any Of these men who are running the
election. I saw some of these very
men come riding in from Missouri,
when we were one day out of Quin~
daro." AS he spoke, John Clark had
reached the voting place, pursued by
many rough epithets flung after him.
He paused before the half-barricad-
ed door and presented his ballot.
Lets see yer ticket" shouted one of
two men who stood guard, one on
either side of the cabin-door. He
snatched it from Clark's hand, looked
at it and simply said, "H'ist!"
The man on the other side of
the would-be voter grinned; then both
men seized the Woburn man by his
arms and waist, and, before he could
realize what was happening, he was
flung up to the edge Of the roof that
projected over the low door. Two
other men, sitting there, grabbed the
newcomer by the shoulders and passed
him up the roof to two others, who,
straddling the ridge-pole, were waiting
for him. Then the unfortunate Clark
disappeared over the top of the cabin,
sliding down out Of sight on the farther
side. The mob set up wild cheer
and some of them shouted, 1--WE don't
want any Yankee votes in this yer
lection!" - Noah Brooks, in st.
Nicholas.

The early Christian church in Asia

posed this settled the question for all

discovered that the Julian allowance of
1864 days for the year was eleven
minutes and twelve seconds too long,
which caused the 21st of March to grad

In 1882 the sun was on the line March

Lady Birds

Naturalists count more than fifteen
kinds of lady-birds, mostly distin-
guished from one another by the number
Of their spots, set upon various grounds,
red, black or yellow. The two-spotted
and the seven-spotted are the most
common. One of the prettiest is the
seldom-seen twenty-spotted, with elev-
en- black dots on each of her golden
wing cases. Rare sorts, sometimes
seen in collections, are adorned with a
checker board pattern of little squares.
Like other beetles, the lady-bird keeps
her large gauzy wings concealed, ex-
cept when they are il use. They fold
both lengthwise and across, and pack
into an incredibly tiny compass. When
spread, they are fully twice as large as
those gayly decorated, horny wing
cases which protect and cover them,
and which are often mistaken for the
wings themselves. It is an unsolved
mystery whittier the insect hosts be-
take themselves when the frost comes
to put an end to their delight. We see
the air teeming with gnats, and the
ground populous with ants and beetles;
the fields are alive with grasshoppers,
the hedges full of little moths which
sleep amid the foliage. All about us.

AS Mont Blanc rises among the lesser

this day above all other days, bearing on
its front significance more profound
and a splendor more transcendent.
On Good Friday the shadow of death,
horizons wide, covered the heavens from
view So o'erclouded was the earth that
grief and loss were alone in sight. The
life of the Nazarcnc, a life of self-sacrfice
for the peoples sake. had ended in the
martyrs doom. He was born of a race
that has never ceased to excite the admi-
ration of the historical critic. He fol-
lowed in the footsteps of the earlier
prophets. but was so much more far
seeing and autocratic that His claim to
be the Son of God was acknowledged
with hosannas when He entered Jerusa-
lem in triumph. But His career was abb
ruptly brought to close and His body
laid in the tomb.
That grim tyrant Death, who rules
mortality with relentless sway. and drives
young and old alike, disdaining all favor
itism, into the gloom of the Hereafter,
had demanded and accepted His surrcn-
dor. From that Friday afternoon until
the third morning thereafter, when the
sun rose above the hill-tops of the
Judcan landscape, His disciples were
brokcn-heartcd, and the prophecy that
He would rise again was regarded as the
Pigment OF an enthusiasts fancy. They
were drowned in the rising tide of
their unspcakable disappointment and
cbagrin. The King had Succumbed and
apparently contradicted His own glow
ing words of promise. There was moth
ing left but to return to their humble
vacations and forget their hopes and
dreams as best they could.
But the third morning came. and with
it the most astonishing occurrence that
ever stirred the pulse. The tomb was
empty! Death had been robbed of his
victory! Grim Death, who claimed all.
had surrendered to q mightier than him
self!
With that empty tomb in view, i'm

HOW THE DATE FOR EASTER

Some Facts About the Change from the

Some Facts About the Change from the
Julian to the Gresorian Calendar.
In his cphcmeris for 1899 Edmund
Weaver notes that Easter Sunday oc-
CURED that year five weeks later than
was intended by the Council of Nice.
He also showed that during the ensuing
fifty years the festival would devate one
week or more from its true place no less
than fortyseven times. When about
one-third of that time had expired, the
error was rectitied by skipping the days
between the I'd and 18th of September,
1852. BY that change England adopted
the Gregorian calendar, which had been
accepted by the Catholic Church in 1892.
The difference between the count in that
calendar and the Julian Was then ten
days. 1t was eleven days in the last cent
ury, and is now twelve days.
The word Easter is of Saxon origin,
