When standing she isabout the height of a well grown child of four. She never beats her breast with anger, as Du Cbaillu'a gorilla did, but sometimes with one hand when well pleased at such times she also claps her hands.

Having had medicine out of a spoon when sick, she now repudiates that mode of feeding, and the wife of the keeper has consequently to take every mouth-fulfirst intoherown mouth and thence transfer it to Miss Pongo's. Her man ners are described as wa great deal better than those of most children." After dinner the keeper told her to wipe her mouth, whereupon, visitor tells us, "she wiped her mouth and blew her nose as tidily aa a child of four or five." GROCERS.

Eureka Herald: We have receiv ed a letter from Major Brancroft, in which he says relative to the moves ments in preparation for work on the Kansas City, Emporia Southern railroad: ''Mr. Fuller, th locating ens gineer, has gone to make a final deci sion between threeroutes between here and Ottawa, and will return next week and proceed to locate as far as Madison at once, so as to let contracts as soon as possible, Mr.

Last Saturday morning Mr. Wil liam George, a son of Judge George of Jewell City, was in Smith Center and was playing cards in a house near a window with others, when a boy about twelve years old passed the window, and probably attracted by the sight of money stopped and looked in. William George told him to leave or he "would kick his head off." The boy still remained with his face close to the glass, when the enraged gambler rose and kicking with his heavy boot through the glass he struck the boy in the Ayes and put both out. He was promptly arrested and Judge Holt will give him some reasonable advice this week.

Boloit Gazette. The Public Press, of Leavenworth, advocates the giving of a public reception of the editors of the state by that city. A good idea, and one that should have been carried out long ago. We would like other editors to become ac quainted with the business men of that oity, and know their enterprise and lib erality, as we know them. Too many of the citizens of Kansas judge Leaven worth by the actions of a few of its prominent men, who have always been ready to tear down the city if so doing would build themselves up.

But they do not represent the real, true bust ness men of that place, who, as a rule. are a whole souled class of men.

An amusing yet costly joke has just been perpetrated on the Presbyterian 1 1 it m. cnurcn in inis city, i ne sexton was ordered to clean the walls, which he proceeded to do.

The intention was to have the fresco freed from cobwebs and dust, but so vigorously did the sexton work, that he has marred the walls past recovery. Many of the lines are ob literated, and although he denies it the building looks as though he bad taken water to aid him. Ho was discovered in time, or he would probably have got down to the lath in his efforts to "re move tho dirt." The original cost of the fresco was $400. It may not be out ot p.ace even tor a newspaper to remind a church that are not as bad as they might have been," and we tender a few words of oondolence and comfort. If the sexton had continued removing "the dirt'until all the plaster was off tho walls, the expense would have been, much greater than to have simply refrescoed.

Bearing this soothing fact in trustees may find it in their hearts to forgive him who has bo injured them, and perhaps will give him a present for having proved to them that they possess tho divine virtue of forgiveness. A suitable present under such circumstances would be a bo of prospects is much brighter than I had cUrcd to hope. T. here is some up prehension from the winged insects thut have been for some time leaving Tcuaa, where little was done to fight tho pest, and where much injury has boon done in spots, particularly from Dcnnison southwestwardly. But in pusaing from the south, the injury clone by the winged insects is never materially felt.

They are unhealthy less voracious, and the crops are well advanced. They also pass most ly over the western part of your state Permit me to remark in conclusion, that I have met with few persons who not feel that if taken in time the your.g insects are easily mastered and ucod cause little alarm in future foot which I have long since insisted and which is generally admitted by all who have had experience When the locust scourge is fully understood, and the farmers unite in de termined effort to counteract it, it will cease to be so much of abugbcar and no longer interfere with the set tlcmentof the beautiful and product ivc western plains which it visits at irregular intervals.

The competition at Philadelphia was not altogether satisfactory to us. It is true that every nation has an advantage in exhibitions held within its own area, but the products of the industry of the United States surpassed our own oftener than can be explained by this circumstance. It appeared as if thero was a greater economy of labor habitually practiced in the States, and conjunction with this there was evidence of the more constant presence of a presiding mind superintending every projess of industry. The best machine in the world will fail to give satisfaction if there is not an intelegent human hand to watch it, to take care of it, to detest the smallest failure in its working as it is developed, and to suggest and supply the means of correcting any miscarriage of its functions. A steam-engine dropped from heaven in the middle of Africa might be adored, hut could not be put to any use.

Tho fail uro of many of our industrial enter: prises in foreign parts can be traced to the difficulty in procuring agebts and a.wisiants that can be taught to use the machines committed to their care. aoh of tho mechanical work shown at Philadelphia was executed with a fineness that could not have been exceeded if every man who had any share in ks production bad originally conceived it and had been solely interested in its suwoss. There was evidence of personal care md personal anxiety; every stage must have been watched with intelligence and with zeal. In comparing the results with our own, vvc era painfully suspicious that they re-vealol the application of more brains than we always have at our command, London Times.
