CHOOSE COMPETENT MEN.

| Unuer the ABOVE captlou tue SnoT
Greek Republican has the following t.
say with regard TO Col. w. b. Stone
republican candidate for state senator
from this district:
The selection of men 10 represent u;
in the state senate or house Is Il matter
that comes directly home 10 every cit
lien of the district. The duties in
cumbent upon those elected TO such
positions are of such nature that the
fitness of the aspirants is a matter OF
more Importance than their political
complexion. We would rather send a
competent democrat or third party
man to the senate than to send an in
competent republican. 1t would be
better for the community, the district,
the county, the state and the nation.
The position in which Kansas has
been placed before the world during
the brief reign Of PETER, Clover and
Simpson is such as TO clearly demon
stratc the danger of misrepresentation.
What is true of the state is true Of the
district and when thoroughly compe-
tent men are offered for such positions,
unless the opposition offer something
equally as good, we should support
them, regardless of politics. These
thoughts are suggested by viewing the
senatorial situation in this district.
Without disparaging word of Nose
Householder, we invite the attention
of the opposition 20 the republican
candidate. w. b. Stone of Galena.
We could cite the fact that he is and
has been from the birth of the creek
more closely identified with us, in
every particular, than any other man
in the county that any legislation
in his interest would of necessity be to
the interest Of the county as a whole,
aud more particular. to this immedi-
ate section, but we do not desire to do
this, but instead appeal TO thinking
men TO view the question purely from
business standpoint. W. i. Stone is
an educated gentleman; Il careful,
competent business mai, who has
shown by the successful management
of his extensive and varied interests,
his fitness to inielligenlly conduct the
affairs of the district. His conduct
and bearing is Of that calm and digni-
fed order which carries with it de-
gree of weight with leading men of
the state, among whom he has an cx-
tensive personal acquaintance, and
gives him strength TO accomplish much
good for his constituents. Such man
is worth more to Galena-tO Cherokee
county in the senate than u dozen
rattle Drained, harem -scarem fellows
vi o shout and spout and yell calamity
but have shown by their unsuccessful
management of their own affairs how
untitled they are 10 look after the in
terests of others. 1t would seem that
no man-rcpublican, democrat or pop
ulist-would find ii necessary 10 hest
tate when it comes 10 making choice
between w. B. Stone and Nose House
holder for the senate. True we have
our personal likes and dislikes. but
when we send man 10 make Laws for
us we must throw aside all such feel
ing and not jeopardize the interests of
the entire community TO CRAFTY our
enmily. II would not he
good judgment, such as we would
apply 10 our individual business. Let
us not practice it IN choosing man to
transact the business of the district.

why Rats Arc panrerous pns.enrsr..

A most remarkable instance of the
mischief which the rat is capable of do
ing came to light during the proceedings
of naval court Of inquiry held in Au-
gust, 1875, for the purpose Of investigat-
ing the cause Of the loss of the bark
Commodore of Hartlepool. The vessel.
which was burned at sea, had been
loaded with a cargo of timber, and the
fire broke out in the hold in a most rnvs-
terious manner. 1t was eventually
proved, on the evidence Of the entire
crew, that beyond shadow of doubt
the outbreak was originated by rat
carrying off lighted candle, which had
stood III the forecastle and was presently
missed by the sailors, and dropping it
among the dry and resinous pine slowed
below.
The Shipping Gazette, in commenting
upon this extraordinary case at the time,
and speaking Of the danger generally of
rats on shipboard, said that "they have
caused the laundering Of many ships bv
gnawing holes in the planking or SO eat
ing away the inner sides Of the wood as
to leave very little for the straining Of
the hull to do in completing the aper-
ture; they have been known to nibbIe
the timber at the waterways until the
wood was SO thin as to admit rainwater
through it; they will attack the bunps
OF casks and create leakage; find out the
soft parts Of the knees or lining, and
make passage for themselves from one
part to another" So fully has the dan
ger Of this now come to be recognized
that such contingencies are generally
provided for in the insurance of wooden
built ships.-Chambers' Journal.

tees 1t will be profitable to the under

OF expression than that adopted in a
local paper, when the editor regretted
to have to announce the death of Mr.
So-and-so, but was not astonished to
hear of the sad event, as deceased had
been attended for some time by DR.

An Observing Baker.

During war between Austria and
Turkey baker in his cellar kneading
bread noticed a slight noise rising and
falling at intervals, which seemed to
come from distant corner Of his cellar.
de stopped his work, and tracing the
sounds discovered that they were caused
by few marbles dancing up and down
ON the head of a little drum his child
had left there.
The majority of persons would have
been satisfied to attribute the motion of
the marbles to the rumbling in the
street, or to the occasional firing of guns
but this man was an observer.
Surprised at the perfect regularity
with which the marbles jumped from
the drum head, he put his ear to the
ground and noticed a distant tappinp
He recalled how as boy he had heard
from one end of long log a companion
scratching with a pin upon the other
end, and he judged that the earth was
just such a conductor of sound as the
log had been.
Suddenly it flashed upon him that
what he heard was the sound Of a pick
and that the Turks were doing what had
so long been feared, undermining the
city. The news was carried to the Ans
trian general, examination made.

Soaring a Wicked Roy.

One OF the irrepressible small bows of

attracted attention by mewing like n
cat. Then he yelped like a dog and
grunted like a pig. At first his noises
caused smile, but their persistent rep
etltlOn caused annoyance, which in
creased with each succeeding noise.
The mewing, the yelping and the grunt-
ing became so aggravating that each
man in the car felt that he would like
to throw the boy out of the window.
Manly dignity, however, forbade their
getting into an alteration with a small
boy. But there was one person in the
car who was not restrained by manly
dignity. That person was of the femi.
nine gender, a trifle advanced in wears
but with muscular figure and a stern
expression on her face.
She tried for several minutes to silence
the boy with frowns and gestures. but
those were of no avail. When her ma
tience reached its limit she stretched ont
one arm, and seizing the boy bv the COL

Digging for Diamonds in India.


In India diamonds are found in allu-
vial workings and i'll the original gangue
or bedrock. So far diamonds have been
found in stu, both in the upper and
lower Vindhyan rocks. These consist
of a series Of shales, Hmestones and
sandstones, cut up and much mixed with
lntrusions of trap. A species of con-
glOmerate made up of what looks like
felted hOrnblende, with embedded peb-
bles of jasper, serpentine, quartz and
Bandstones is the matrix in which the
diamond is found.
When exposed to the action Of the
weather, as in shallow workings. this
conglomerate is Of rusty brown color
and very friable, so that it can be readi-
ly broken and the gangue washed away.
leaving the pebbles, which are of a
white, red, blue and green color. A
load of gangue yields about a quart of
pebbles, and if from this a carat weight
OF diamonds is recovered the mine is
considered worth working.
Overlying the diamond conglomerate
are beds of hard sandstones and shales
which have to be cut through before the
diamond gangue is met. In the deem
mines the gangue is extremely hard
and tough and Of green blue color. It
requires months of exposure to the at
mosphere and frequent sprinklings with
water before the matrix becomes sufi-
ciently friable to obtain the pebbles
without breaking them.
All attempts to crush the matrix with
out destroying the included diamonds
have hitherto failed, and owing to the
long delay before the results are known.
the natives seldom work the conglomer-
ate IN the rock workings unless it is
somewhat decomposed and softened bv
the weather. The pebbles are about the
size Of hazelnuts and are generally
Opaque. The presence of green pebbles
IS considered a good sign by the native
miners.-Mining and Engineering.

two hours, at the end of which the nor
trait must be done. Halls went to worl,
and finished it, and Vandyke was much
pleased. But portrait painting seemed

he asked Halls to change places with
him. Halls did so, and as Vandyke fin
