KANSAS STATE INSTITUTIONS. As we have no doubt there are many of our readers who know but littla of our state institutions, we publish a full list of them and a history of each in brief University at Lawrence. Normal school at Emporia. Deaf and dumb asylum at Olathe. Blind asylum at Wyandotte.

Insane at Topeka. at Leavenworth. Reform school at Topeka. Reform school at Osawatomie. Agricultural school at Manhattan.

The university at Lawrence is a Jarge stone buiiding, 246 feet in length, 78 feet wide, with wings C2 feet wide and 65 feet high. In the building are 54 rooms, including the main hall, which is nearly 100 feet long and over 50 wide In the university are six departments collegiate, preparatory, normal, musical, law and preparatory medical. Each partment is provided with rooms for its especial convenience The university was established in 1859 by the Presbyterians. In 1 361 it passed to the control of the Protestant Episcopal church. The building and grounds were after-.

wards secured by the city of Lawrence and given to the state. The institution is now in a flourishing condition, having an able corps of 17 professors and an 1 attendance of 1,000 pupils. The state normal school at Emporja is a fine building. It is supplied with water from the city water works, heated by steam, and vtntilated in the most perfect manner.

Thursday of this week we were shown quite a curiosity in the shape of a twenty-four clock made by Mr. Ambrose Miks of this The works of this clock were taken from an old clock that has been in the Miks family about thirty five years, having been bought by the father, Mr. E. A. Miks, when he first commenced housekeeping.

The dial or face is a representation in globe shape of the western hemisphere, showing North and South America correctly mapped off with meridians. There are three hands a day, hour and minute hands. The day hand has a miniature representation of the sun attached to it, and makes a revolution over the dial once in twenty-four hours. The hour hand travels the same as on any clock, thereby making two revolutions over the dial in one day, or twenty-four hours. The minute hand is so arranged that in making its revolutions it passes over one of the meridians into which the face is divided, in exactly five minutes of time.

Altogether this is an ingenious piece of mechanism, showing Ambrose to be possessed of considerable inventive genius, and should be seen to be appreciated. It is at the machine shops of E. A. Miks Sons in this city, where it is successfully keeping time. DIED.

On Thursday morning, February 28, of lung fever, Mrs. Anna Haury, after an illness of only six days, aged 33. The deceased was a faithful and loving wife and mother, and leaves a sorrowing husband and seven children to mourn her death. She had traveled life's stormy path for thirteen years with her bereaved consort and is now- gone to her reward. The funeral rites will be observed at the residence to-day (Saturday) at 12 o'clock noon, and the burial will be by the Mennonite church, of which she was a member, in their cemetery north of the city.

REMARKS ON A BLASPHEMOUS ESSAY. What can any Christian think of the fact that such an essay as the one read by Hulda Ramsey was considered by the Temperance Union of Fairview as worthy of publication, but that there is a plague spot there, and that the religious, spiritual, and consequently moral condition of that portion of the community is in a deplorable state. To take the language of the Bible and wrench it from its real application and apply it in a vain and ridiculous manner in our discourse or writings, is taking the Lord's name in vain as certainly and as guiltily as it is possible for the profanest drunkard to do, and to those who think the scriptures are divine, is fully as disgusting. The essay, in the latter part, showed a determination to classify the temper ance workers as followers of the Lord. But after displaying such a spirit of levity, indillerence and contempt to ward the Lord and His Word, it is to be hoped, for the sake of consistency, that no one who indorsed that essay by recommending its publication makes the slightest pretence to a religious be lief and lile, for in that case they would add hypocrisy to blasphemy.

-The first part of the essay, however, which speaks of the Quakershes, Bap fistites, evidently shows a desire on the part of the Union, to range them selves with the Hitites, Jebusjtes and i other nations inhabiting the land of Canaan, who were of such astonishing wickedness that the Jews were com manded to exterminate among them everything that breathed, and whose wicked proceedings are particularly des oribed in the 18th chapter of Leviticus. If the Fairviewites, of whom this is written, consider that their proper location is with the Canaanites, of course I cannot contradict them, but would like to tell them, as they are opposing the sale of liquor, that our real enemies and the one9 we need closest to watch are the enemies of our own household," that in, of our own will and understanding. Or, if they are infatuated with the desire of appearing funny at the expense of holy things, or are careless and indifferent about moral and spiritual truths, they are of the number of those who are drunken but not with wine," and who reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man all their wisdom is swallowed up," which texts, in figurative" terms," describe 'their uncertain, yacilating, miserable characters.
