Communication. of meek and unpretentious wayfarers and occurring at every election, in every State, with one exception, for, nearly forty years is getting a "leetlc numerous" so much so that a suspicious old maid like myself pmells caucus every time. And isn't it the oddest thing in creations that when "it is not good for man to be alone in Paradise," it is so awfully jolly and nice in politics When he can't go to a picnic, or promenade concert without some one of these flowers of earth in his exemplified in the historr of Hamilton, Nevada. During the White Pine excitement of 1868 it had a population of thousands, two large daily newspapers, and all appearance of substantial prosperity. To-day it barely counts a popu-of sixty.

The Las Vegas Optic says that the body of Billy the kid was removed, five days after his death, from the cemetery near Fort Sumner, where it had been buried, and was taken to the office of a physician in Las Vegas. There the head was taken eff, and the skull cleaned and polished, and the rest of the body was then reburied to prevent suspicion and discovery. Notes. A hail storm visited EUaviUe, doing considerable damage. In a railroad accident near Sellers-ville, Pa, an engineer was killed.

Munic Burns, a notorious burglar, was shot in St. Louis last night. Judge Folger expects to take charge of the treasury November 1. Three men were lynched at Tierra Amarratta, for horse stealing. Postmaster General James and First Assistant Hatton were sworn in Friday.

The wife of Congressman Clark is seriously ill at her residence in Washington. The Britith steamer Calliptr was lost on the Spanish' coast. Only one person saved. Arrangements have been perfected for a prize fight to take place near Washington City. Geo L.

Lawrence was killed at Washington by an explosion of rockets at the navy yard. Sir Ashley threatened to horse whip Walton ol New York at the New Market races Friday. Dr. Minnock, a druggist of Ellsworth, was fined $100 for selling liquor-without license. Hon.

N. C. McFarland was chosen president of the permanent Kansas or-ganization at Washington. Kansas City and St. Louis report the greatest increase in the receipt of orders during the past week.

Jack Post, charged with murder, was hung at Dallas, in the presence of several thousand people. The display of Kansas products by the Santa Fe road at the Atlanta exposition is highly spoken of by visitors. A movement is on foot to have Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy appointed as Judge Folger's successor in New York.

It is reported that Congressman Clark will establish his separation from bis wife under the laws of Missouri. The station agent at Cogaci Idaho, was shot dead by a band of masked men who entered, the depot for the purpose of Warren Memorial Presbyterian with not a word of apology, seem to mis take their victims for transparencies and endeavor to look them through. If these young ladies but knew that a surer sign of their boasted "blue blood" and high pos ition would be shown by a modest and lady-like demeanor, they would gain the respect and admiration of the "common herd" where now they receive but scorn and ridicule. A fair blonde lady of (well I won't tell which part of town she lives in) who is always noted for her superabundance of style in dress, came out in a new costume of be wilderin- loveliness yesterday. Sne wore an overdress of black brocaded velvet on a ground work of old gold silk threads, and murmurings of admiratiouj followed her down Commercial street, while, "Oh, isn't it lovely!" could be heard on every side.

I have seen the marvelous material on Noyes counter at four dollars a yard. So the dress is not "imported" or direct from Worth's although it could not be more beautiful, if it had been. The Sunday Law. The large number of drunken men about our city on the Sabbath day, is evidence that the back door lock to saloons continues to hang t)ut in spite of our Sunday law." But, we are not alone in this matter, as the Sunday law in Kan sas City is not only broken, but leagues are formed for the purpose of breaking down the law, as will be seen by reading the following editorial, clipped from the Saturday Evening Herald, Kansas City "A good many saloon-keepers have been indicted for violation of the Sunday law, and they have formed a league for the pur pose of detense. it should be stated the law plainly says saloons shall be closed on Sundays, and on the face of the State licence issued to the saloon-keeper the law is laid down to that affect, or used to be.

Th.re is no doubt that the mass of the people of Missouri desire this law and want it respected, and saloon-keepers should honestly obey it if they want a continuance of their licences. Instead of forming a league to break down the law, they should form a league to uphold it. Kansas City people are not very fanatical, but they know very well that in communities where some suc cess attends the enforcement of the Sunday law that there is far less crime than in communities where there is no such law or where. it is openly But: we mark a growing moral feeling in Kansas City which is determined to limit the evils of drunkeness. There are double and treble the arrests for drunkenness here were two years ago.

Sunday nights the cells are filled with the unfortunates whom saloon-keepers haae turned out of their places to fall into the hands of the police. Can any one look at Battle How without 'be-leiving that the application of a sumptuary layv isbadly needed to clean it out or clean it away? The disgusting sight of intoxicated persons puking along the sidewalks is nothing to our credit. In some parts of West Kansas City the scenes are worse than along Battle Row. Surrounded by squalor and misery, the gin mill rears its head. It draws in the young, debauching them as its presence is familiar, so that from their childhood's steps till they die in the workhouse or hospital, they never know purity and temperance, and the happiness which these virtues bring.

It does not pay to be indifferent, for drunkenness is directly or indirectly a burden on the sober and industrious. We have in mind the casse of a man who was indifferent to the existence of a brothel next door. He did not care; the place sot none of hi3 money if fools liked to go they could go. By and by his daughter went, seduced by the gaiety which covered the sin; and his son Went; and the man's home and his heart were broken. Who will say that he contributed nothing to the brothel? So with drunkenness.

The demand that saloonkeepers should respect Sunday is not unreasonsble. should do "it cheerfully, or they will invite a movement which will sweep or try to sweep, the whole business out of the State. Kansas went prohibitory when it became evident that saloon-keepers were above obeying her license laws. Speaking of a Sunday law," reminds us of a few years ago, when Bailey Wag ner delivered a lecture upon the necessity of a Sunday liquor law, and in it he gave a good illustration of how the perpetual seeker for an eye opener," would have tn t-it nflfid with -roef nf Jo 'KrkT'c on a Sabbath morning, just as the Boston man did in Texas. The fetory ran some thing like this A few days ago a young man from Boston was seated at the breakfast table of a Texas eating house with a number of Texans.

A large burly man, wearing the customary Buffalo Bill hat and appear ance, with pants in his boots, waited upon the table. Carrying a big coffee pot, he commenced at the head of the bible and proceeded to pour the coffee. As he ap proached each one he would say, "tea or and the reply was always "coffee." But when he came to the Boston man with Lis tea or coffee," the reply was Well, I'm not feeling quite well this morning, I'll take a little tea and toast, if yon please." The quick reply was, "No, you wont, yon nasty, cranky, whinning Yankee. You'l take coffee with the rest of the boys." But as the Sunday law has never a een strictly observed in this city, the wayward toper continues to bowl up" from year to year, as "in days of yore." It seems that competition bas forced the price of false teeth down so low that it isn't really worth a body's while to cat his natural ones. Atchison, Oct 27, 1881.

Editor Sunday Morxixg Call We spent a very pleasant day among old friends and acquaintances last Wednesday and gathered the following: We stopped at W. S. Knights and as tle hospitalities of the Effingham people are well known we cau only say our treatment was only a repitition of the good old day's of yore. We met A. S.

Tucker the coal merchant; T. J. Omera, general store; Miller, Benjamin and John Carter, liverymen; Amos Hardware; Al Harris, Post master; Scott Davis, blacksmith, and others whose Dames would only tire you. The Law and Order Convention was a success in every particular, and though men may differ in opinions, the utmost harmony prevailed. The Effingham Brass Band particularly distinguished itself, and their playing was received with the heartiest applause.

The speeches of J. T. Allensworth and Hon. B. P.

Wagge'her were full of facts and were frequently and heartily The nominations were all well selected, Benjamin Wallack, formerly sherriff of Atchison county, (and not Ben F. Wallack as was reported) is the candidate for sheriff, and is well and favorably known all over the county. He is a man who will do his duty faithfully and fearlessly, and if elected will do all in his power to prevent the escape of either violators or prisoners. Jas. Stalions, the nominee for the office of Treasurer is a well known property holder in Mount Pleasant township and is well and favorably known all over the county.

Geo. B.White is the nominee for county commissioner. A business man well known to all and will make a good race, and has promised, if elected to prevent, if possible the purchase of any more swamp lots for Court houses or jail sites. The Great Number. Of sittings that Conklin Kleckner, the photographers, make daily (thirty or forty) shows what the leading citizens of this city think of those magnificent Cabinet Photographs.

All are cordially invited to call and see their beautiful Crayons, Water Colors, India inks, and Photographs, which are unsurpassed, whteher you desire to ta ve work done or not. Like Caesar, in a great many respects. They came to Atchison and saw the great need for a strictly first class Photographer, and have es tablished it. They have the finest instruments, accessories, to work wUh. No photographer in the city has such facilities for producing fine work as Conklin Kleckner.

TROPHIES OF THE SEA. New York Sun. The Coast Wrecking Company has in its office in this city a curious collection of relics from old wrecks and other odd bits taken from the sea. The collection embraces quaint bits of furniture, explosive shells and shells of the ocean, shreds of ladies dresses, rude weapons of savage races, huge star fish, and many curious things, the use of which are unknown. The collection contains a broken bell brought up from the i 11-lated steamer Atlantic, of the White Star line.which was wrecked on Golden Rule Rock, on the Nova Scotia coast, on April 1, 1873, with a loss of 557 out of 1,007 souls on board.

There is also a rusty, hiltless sword, dug out of the sand eight years ago, near the bulk of the British bark Thistle, which was lost on Squan Beach, N. in 1811. There are also several bottles of sweet oil, holding a pint and a half each, with the original corks intact.and the oil as clear as crystal, taken in November, 1877. from the wreck of the British bark Robert, which went down in 1844 with a cargo of lead and oil and five of her crew, off the place where Atlantic City now stands. There is a South Sea Island canteen, ingeniously constructed of cocoanut shells, which was fished up from a wreck in seventy feet of water on the coast of Maine; also a mussel shell firmly imbedded four inches in depth in a well which was found 140 feet above the sa level on the Jersey coast; alo a pelican's skull and bill, measuring two feet from back to tip (making an excellent though wide dipper) which was found near the wreck of the bark Robert Fletcher, on the south beach of Long Branch, and which is said to have been used to bail out the boat by the crew when endeavoring to escape.

lhe jaw3 of a shark killed on the South Carolina coast, which have been preserved, can easily be passed over the shoulders and down the body of a full grown man. One of the most curious relics is a lamp chimney taken from the remains of the ironclad Merri- mac Oysters three inches lone was found attached to the glass, and four large oysters which had grown about the brass base of the chimney form an irrecrular square. The hilts of several sword3 and some old firearms are also encrusted with oyster shells. In gentlemens' fashions the extreme has been reached as regards full dress. Everything in the shape of jewelry has been discarded.

In the last no gentle man of position in full dress wears even ashirt stud nowadays. It has never been considered in good taste for a gentleman In full dress to wear a watch chain, bnt now t3 rcniiy stylish youn inzn. discorcj biz llzz, ztz nd vrelL Turned hg an Old I dearly love to talk (old maids always do, but I do not like to be misunderstood, or misrepresented. And now dear Phonograph, I thought in possessing you, I could talk to my hearts delight without fear of having my conversation repeated. But imagine my surprise, when I found that the Call had been printing you; and you represented me as being an honored member of the young ladies darning Society, when I told you I was invited to be an honorary member.

I had a new hatband 1 did want to go to church lat Sunday, so bad; but the weather looked so lowering, that, after taking my hat out and admiring myself before the mirror, I said, no, Miss Alattie, you just stay at home to-day, you might spoil your hat, and besides, Ikuew there would not be many out to church, their never is when the weather is bad; however, I spent i very delightful day at home; I read over some old letters, sorted over my ribbons and laces, darned up my gloves, tried on my new full suit a few times, and the day passed pleasantly, aud profitably away. Looking over old letters is a delightful pastime, and real love letters will make you feel young again, and almost happy," but I must not be sentimental.) Yes, it is really true, I have in my possession about a bushel of genuine love letters, but they are yellow with age, and the writers are all married and surrounded with interesting amiles. The question has been asked me many times, why I never married I never would answer it, for I think it real impudence to ask such a question, but I will tell you dear phonograph, it's because I hate the men. I have five sisters married, and it is barely possible that their husband's are the meanest men on earth, but I don't believe it; it is my opinion that they are all alike. Why bless my life, between the lodges and politics, they are never at home an evening.

No, Phonograph, if a lady wants to say the best of a man's nature, let her remain single. And now, speaking of politics, politicians, and men, I have no doubt but that Jim Loper, though a very nice man,) represents to his Wife, (the dear unsuspecting creature,) that it is necessary, for her comfort and well being that he be down town every night, and assures her that when this horrible election is over, he will spend his evenings at home. There is an old adage, it is not very pretty, and I don't know its origin, but it says "every dog has his day" and so I feel that we poor oppressed women, are yet to have our day. It may be the split in the comet's tail; it may be the fateful dances of the planets; but, whatever ths cause, one thing is certain, woman is going to have an "Era." It takes a great many women and a great many kinds women, (and several men,) to raise the wind for an Era, but most audible in the van are its trumpeters, the per sistent, persuasiye, perorating Polly Ticks, the "righters;" the "strongminded" the women who are going to vote. Numerically they are not many, but their tribulations have beca few.

Somehow, an undiscerning generation will persist in so bedizening the "Cause" in false issues, and imaginary results," that it is a long time in reaching the boiling, i. voting point. Most people think it dead or asleep. Some old bachelor out in Wyoming pipes np that woman suffrage it a failure out there aud immediately all enterprising dailies proceed to erect paper tombstones to its memory. They knew all the time it was only a handful of shriek-ers the buzzing of a few Susan (B's) bees.

To hear much of the discussion on the subject, one would suppose that the "gentle sex" were drawn up in battle array up on one side of the fence, while man, with his pockets and his boots full of "rights" was trying to make off on the other side. The absurdity of this position has paralyzed the "movement" from the start and has kept a few ambitious, aggressive, but honest-hearted women, for over forty years upon their narrow bones, pleading, promising, scolding for a ballot. Nobody ever helps a woman who does not, at the same time, help some man, and there are probably more men than women in favor of equal suffrage to-day. They are the men, too, of the highest and best development. To find its violent opposers go to a recently enfranchised negro, a wife-whipper, slop-bummer, or "masher" to the man whose creed is brawn, not brain.

The actual strife, as it now exists, is not between a few women and the politicians the politicians, who are the oidy who have serious, selfish reasons for opposing woman's enfranchisement. Dear knows, there are not offices enough to go round now 5 Yet the leading spirits of this reform liave, for years, expended their main force upon Legislatures and political bummers, who hearken sweetly and almost pass favorable resolutions. Ouly a few adverse votes The women, dear innocents, not comprehending this little game of "seen to eight, think the thing about settled. But the coincidence of a lew losing votes, button-hole, he yet never thinks to send his carriage, (one of those hearsly election vehicles) to crave her brightness to shine npou him at the polls? He can't relish a cup of coflee, or a dish of ice-cream, without the added aroma of her presence; and yet, while he accompanies her so delightedly to opera, concert, or church, his very hair stands on ends, at thought of her by his side, in Senate or State Chamber The jeunesse doree of our city are calculated to sustain the growing reputation of American youth for precocity and "fastness" generally. During the adolescent period it is not uncommon lor their thoughts to "ran to marriage, the fact of a limited salary having no apparent effect upon their matrimonial ardor.

Diamond engagement rings being the fashion of the day, Mademoiselle soon displays this glittering acquisit.on to her envious girl friends. The slight circumstance of the jewel not being paid for is a secret close locked in the breast of this very toney young man, and consequently does not mar his fair fiancee's delight in the bauble and her lover's generosity. I know of one young lady, though, who, after being the recipient of jewelery and bijouterie from a devoted adorer, suddenly discovered that the articles were not paid for, upon which she indignan tly returned the whole collection and dismissed her munificient admirer. The following greeting flowed from her loving lips: This present I scornfully reject, Such Sweet Bliss I do despise, Suture I do detect, In your guilty eyes. Leave! you'r the lowest of your nation, Norton your steps this way, I despise the imputation.

Go settle with Rochat. Whether the jeweler was any the richer for the young lady's honest integrity, I cannot say. But young men who trade upon the paternal credit to pill up offerings at, the shrine of Beauty, would do well to reflect upon this little incident. Unfortunately, however, many fine ladies areas unscrupulous as their lovers as to the manner in which the gifts are procured, and care not to inquire too closely whether the bills are paid or not. A swell affair is the highest earthly ambition of the society girl of to-day.

'They say" that indefinable though oft quoted authority has positively declared that nothing less than one thousand dollars will carry the bride of to-day across the ltubicon, and now that Victoria, crowned princess of Sweeden, has set the style, with her hundred pair of gloves (number six and a quarter) these brides will make a specialty of gloves. However, there is one crowd of girls who have for years "too numerous to mention" had everything their own way in this city of ours. Some of them desperately pretty, and some of them vice versa, have danced and flirted through many seasons, while the young "bread and butter miss" and debonnaire school girl grew up ito marriageable young ladies and make "good Yet like St. Paul, the Belle of several sea sons feel that none of these things mov her, and goes on smiling and making new conquests until at last she has an escort and devoted admirer in the boy who was just entering the primer class, as she counted her boquets on the eve of graduation. An observer would imagine that these charm ing girls had, like Ponce de Leon, gone in search of the fabulous fountain of youth and being successful in their quest drank of it rejuvenating It is a lamentable and deplorable fact that our so-called "young ladies in first circles" are painfully rude and impolite.

They are irreproachable as to style and get themselves up regardless of cost. They wear the most approved Parisian garments. have on hand a modern stock of handkex chiefs in a whole scale of variety from the universal colored border to the dainty French cambric with a frill two inches deep edged with real lace and used exclusively by the upper teri Their aesthetic garments are above repr iach and the plainest of them look picturesque in the delicate even ing dresses of nowadays. The latest thing in "walks is copied by them to perfection and bent at an angle of forty-five begrees. they affect the baby-stare with much em- pressment.

They even go so far as to ape the Boston girl of "culchah" who in buy ing cretonne asks for "something With individuality but rather subdued and pen sive, with a dash of pathos and a faint suggestion of infinite tenderness." Yet in the face of all this outward appearance of re finement and tone' some of them do not really act as if they had the remotest idea as to the meaning of the word etiquette and fail to exhibit any signs of their "bringing up." They run into every other person they chance to meet, jab umbrellas into the eyes The Grants la tnelr Kew Uonoe. Yorit New York, Oct. 20. There is quite a flutter in society; win or to the announcement that Gen. and Mrs.

Grant are to give an elegant reception as soon as their new house is in perfect order, and every day workmen and artists are bringing nearer the desired end. I understand that not a single article has been brought ordered for the first floor, the eighty cases of magnificent presents presented to the Generrl on his foreign tour furnishing them throughout, as well as supplying the rest of the house with objects of every conceivable sort. No two pieces of furniture in the parlors and reception room rriil be a like. Curiously caned chairs, velvet and gold embroidered divans, and ebony and ivory fauteuil, upholstered with Goblin tapestry and hand-wrought brocades, will take the place of the modern set, The Oriental hangings and Persian carpets were made for the ex-president as gifts, and Mrs. Grant will incur the everlasting enyy of women by using the finest and most exquisitely woyen India cashimeres for the drapery of her own boudoir The tables and stands are of buhl and mosoaic work; the mirrors hang in curiously carved frames cut by the jackknives of the skillful Swedish carvers.

Pictures of every variety, and all of merit in different degrees, have frames in themselves works of art, while statuary and articles of yertu ornament the rooms lavishly. In Gen. Grant's private dressing room stands a miniature house of five stories, and nearly three feet in height. It is of solid silver, curiously beaten and raised in queer flowers and odd birds. On opening the various doors and windows that lead out.

on comical little balconies, can be discovered cases of fretted silver, containing bottles and flasks of caryed ivory filled with dffer-ent and delicious perfumes. This was presented to the owner in China. A pleasant reminder of India is a pair of superb elephant tusks nearly six feet in length, the polished ivory set off by elaborate gold mountings. The wall on one side of the family sitting room is nearly covered by a remarkable Japanese picture a hunting scene. The ground is of creamy stain and the subject is worked out in varied silk embroidery, the figures and foliage standing out as in real life, and the colors exquisite and natural.

How exceptional a memory Gen. Grant has is shown in the fact that he knows at a glance where each of these thousands of gifts came from, the name of tbe city, the donor, and the circumstances of the presentation. He does not exhibit the least complacency in their exhibition, but Mrs. Grant shows a woman's natural gratification in them.
