KANSAS AND NEW YORK.

j. w. Gleed, in a carefully written
paper which appears in the April num-
Der of the Forum, draws a comparison
between the civilizations of New York
city and the state of Kansas, containing
respectfully, about the same number Of
inhabitants, forty-fve per cent of the
people of New York city being foreigners
and ninety per cent of the residents of
Kansas being American born, most of
them pure Anglo-Saxon descendants of
New England. Gleed takes up the
essential clements of civilization and
from history, current facts and
statistics conclusively shows that the
civilization of Kansas is of a much
higher order than that of New York
city. Kansas has a greater per cen. of
native Americans, as shown by the
official reports, than any state in the
Union; while New York is largely com
posed of Irish, German and other
foreigners who control and run its
municipal affairs.
The article of Mr. Gleed was called out
by an editorial declaration of the New
York Post to the effect that no more
states should be admitted until Kansas
is civilized.
The EAGLE week or two since made
a general declaration to the same effect
of the Forum article, bu: Mr. G!eed i'll
fourteen pages of print establishes the
claim beyond possible refutation. His
comparison of the newspapers, schools,
colleges, public Libraries, ETC., of New

NEW PERILS IN LAW.

Judge Chetlain of Chicago should be
lnclosed in barrel with bucket full of
bent pins and rolled down a steep hill.
He has turned the insane precedent of
the courts upside down, iii agree to
lake up Prendergast's case. Prender-
CASTS point is that he has become insane
since he was found guilty, and that he
cen lot be executed while in that con-
dition. Even if the present jury, like the
original one, should adjudge him sane
he can subsequently claim that he has
gone insane, and thus carry the case on
day by day indefinitely. There is one
hope. All judges are not SO meddle-
some and hasty as Chetlain.
But his agreement to hear the case
when he should have referred the at
rorneys to the judge who first presided
IN the case establishes precedent, and
makes the insanity plea which has so
often been technical loop-hole to defeat
the ends of justice, more troublesome and
dangerous than ever.
A man may be adjudged of sound
mind on Monday, and be sentenced to
be hanged on Friday. Thursday he may
protest that he has lost his mind since
Tuesday, and be sentenced for the Fri
day In the next week. The day before
that date he may again appear before
the courts with the claim that he has
gone crazy since the later trial, and if
all Judges were as green as Chetlain it
would be entirely IMPOSSIBLE to combat
the plea of insanity.

a STONE WITH HEART OF FIRE.

From the New York sun.
Now that opals have been restored to
favor, and it is understood that instead
of being omens of i'll fortune they are
really lucky stones, it is easy to under
stand why supernatural agencies have
been asaribed to the fascinating gem.
and it may be of interest to learn some
thing of how to best preserve its bril-
liancy and beauty. There is probably
no other stone SO susceptible to outside
influences as opal. The stone is 4 soft
stone, compared with other gems, and
the flashing of its colors is due to the
refraction of light on the tiny scales
and almost invisible assures within the
stone, which acts like a prism. divid-
ing the light and throwing out all the
varying hues of the rainbow.
The play of color is constantly chang.
ing. Dizziness and brilliarcy succeed
each other with the regularity of at
mosphersc variations, moderate warmth
having distinct Illuminating effect,
while much heat is capable of robbing
the stone of all it's beauty by driving
the moisture contained in the minute
cells. 1t is curious fact, too, that
there are vapdSs emitted from the hui
man body in certain diseased condi-.
tons that are capable of rendering the
stone dull and Opaque. And the fad
ing of life and fortune and the fading
of the opal may be simultaneous, but
the stone is the innocent victim of the
condition of the wearer, not the cause
of disaster. Sir Walter Scott, in his
Anne of Geierstein," distorts the
properties of the opal to heighten the
uncanny element in his story, and to
carry out this plot makes use of the
supernatural. To this story NAV
be traced that Uncomfortable
feeling" about an opal which people
not at all superstitious in other
a man or woman attempts to wear one,
friends and acquaintance continually
bring up the old superstition until
the uncanny stone sometimes ceases to
delight But it is time this old super
stition be sent flying after the old
witch and her broomstick; for in the
old days the stone was highly priced as
an omen of good fortune.
Most of the finest opals come from
Hungary, but the principal vein has
been exhausted lately, SO that the gem
in its finest variety is exceedingly rare
The clear, bright opals with the lumi-
nous fire come from Mexico Any opal,

On May Q, 1877, for instance, the Peru

ruined Callao and several adjacent

eight such waves in close success
