Girard Xews: On Thursday afternoon of last week, tlie infant son of Mr. and Mrs.

Tipton, who live in the north part of town, was missed by tlie mother, and upon searching the premises, it was found that cliihl had lifted tip the trap-door which covers cistern and had fallen in. The cistern is about ten feet deep and contained only about eighu 'ncnes or water. 1 be unfortunate child fell its head and broke its neck, killing it instu'itly. Aichison Champion: I.Irs. Drice, a worthy German woman of St.

came down to Atchison yesterday in searo.1' of her daughter, Kate Drice, who ran awuv with one of the most notorious prostitutes of that cit y. Tho poor woman was nearly heart-broken at her daughter's conduct. Our chief of police investigated the matter thoroughly, and found that she was not in Atchison. The mother left for Leavenworth to continue her sad search for her wayward daughter. Augusta Gazette: On Sunday morning two children of Martin Flannigan, who lives in Bruno township, were playing in a hay-covered granary.

A neighbor had set out a fire which got away from him and threatened Flannigan's place, who set out a back fire, and before he was aware of it this latter had set his granary on fire. The mother hastened to rescue her children, and saved the oldest, aged five, without serious injury; but the, other, aged three, was far from the entrance, with the flames in-vening between mother and child, thus rendering its escape impossible. Its little body was burned to a crisp. Burlington Patriot: L. Bosecrans has just returned from Osage Mission, where he has one of the best pieces of timber in the State.

While at the Mission he discovered, two and a half miles below, on the Neosho, the stem of a tiee that had just washed naked protruding into the stream. There was nineteen feet of soil over the tree, and right above it on tlie surfa.ee was a live cottonwood four feet through. The buried tree proved to be a red cedar eighteen inches through, and as solid as. when it first grew in the primeval forest. A foot of it was cut of.

and the grains indicated sixty-six to the inch consequently it was oxo years maturing, taking one grain to the year. As we know of ho red cedar on the Xeosho. it is an interesting question how far this simple had floated down the stream before it lodged in its present alluvial bed. Mrs. Hardin, who dwelt near Bijou Basin.

was left, with her two children just previous teethe recent terrific, snow storm. The snow drifted and the wind howled about her house. Her provisions were nearly exhausted and the tire was dying out. The supply of matches had given out and all the efforts of the mother to infuse life into the. dying embers in the stove proved fruitless.

The snow fell through the chimney and smothered the fire, aiid after an hour's effort to keep herself and children warm, the nsother, brooding over the possible results of the storm and wondering at her husband's long absence, gatli-thered her children in her arms and ventured out into the storm, intending to Teach the house of her father-in-law, wliich was three miles distant. The next day her lifeless body was found buried in the snow, clasping her two dead children. Gen. Kilpatrick lectured in Junction City last Saturday. Three men were convicted in Ellsworth last week of stealing ties and some fencing from the railroad.

Fuller, near Skiddy, was thrown out of a wagon by. a runaway-team and against a tree with such force that blood spurted from his ears and mouth. His recovery is doublful. A man, giving his name as Johnson, hired a team and buggy at Clyde, traded the bugg3r for a wagon at Beloit. left one horse and the wagon at Abilene, borrowed a single buggy and went to Xewton.

Here he offered to sell the horse and buggy for 875, and was arrested on suspicion, but escaped. When the pursurers arrived they found the horse and buggy, but no thief. A show, consisting of a learned pig and a stereopticon arrangement, lmrsted up in Abilene last week, owing to a quarrel between the proprietors. One was arrested for shooting at the other, and the other got even by sending for parties in Salina, who held a mortgage on the team. The pig and other traps are in possession of the maf- snai, wno is nguring now to get ins costs out of them.

Tlie crystal wedding of George II. and Lula B. Burt was celebrated at Wabaunsee on Tuesday night, March 19th, amid a large concourse of friends, numbering about seventy-five. Mrs Burt is a daughter of Hon. C.

B. Lines. The marriage was one of the early ones in Wabaunsee, at the time when Fremont's iron horse was expected to wake the slumbers of the village. They have had a family of seven boys, two of whom are dead. Glassware to the value of was presented by those present, who inform us it was a happy gathering.

Xews. Solomon items in Enterprise Gazette: Thursday last a party consisting of three men and two women drove through town and camped just beyond the Smoky Hill Hiver. Friday night two men arrived from Clyde in pursuit of one of the parties on a charge of horse stealing. The thief had gone on with tlie team and though the remainder of the party were arrested and locked up for the night, they were discharged the next morning, there being no proof of their complicity in the theft. The property was finally recovered near XeW-ton, and as no prisoner was brought back it is fair to suppose that he was made to "dance upon nothing" as a warning to others who want their neighhors' horses.

HINTS FOE BLAISE. Fromithe Philadelphia Times. James G. Blaine is one of the pre-eminently great men of the Republican party, but he hasJliePresidential bee ceaselessly buzzing in his bonnet and it never fails to dry-rot the brain. He is the ablest popular leader of iiis day, and is to Republicanism, as nearly as can be, what Henry Clay was to the Whigs a generation ago.

He as profound and patiently exhaustive as is Edmunds, nor has he the exquisite rhetorical polish of Conkling.but for eighth and depth and length and breadth and dash and slash to strike the average comprehension, there is no equal in either House to the bold leader who was overthrown at Cincinnatti for what friend and foe now unite in denominating a political abortion. It was a cruel fate for Blaine, but kicking in the traces and playing the part or a bull with hay on his- horns in the Senate isn't the best way to defy the inexorable decrees of destiny. It wasn't the wisest thing that could have been done for Blaine to tell sen-isitive Massachusetts of the faults of her founders, even if there was a spice of truth in the romance, for the more truth there is in the accusing dash of the Maine Senator, the more Massachusetts wont forgive him. And Massachusetts will sit in future conventions and vote for future Presidential down the assailants of the sacred old Com moil wealth as the dropping water wears the rock away. The temptation was great, it must be confessed, and it was immensely coniforting for Blaine to stripe the easy-coach Senators, who sit as apologies for Webster, Clioate and Sumner, until he wearied of punishing them out they meet Blaine at the next Cincinnatti when he is silent, and then they will have their revenge.

Nor was it a clever political calcu lation ror jjiame to grapple with the faith of tiie government to expose the deforma- ties of the Halifax fishery award. It makes a first-class stump speech, will enthuse the sturdy fishermen, down East, who think that they own tho whole tinny tribe, and will mspiric tne aeoates in village grocer ics and city beer houses for a few days but after the scarcely perceptable breeze snail nave suosiueci, mere will be a dread ful cairn for Blaine in the sober iudsrmeni of the nation in standing manfully even to a bad bargain when we make it and pledge our faith to-stand by it. Xor was it a sagacious move to play a. few scattered timber- strippers in the lerrltories against Carl Sehiuv. and the law.

True the Territories all voted for Blaine at Cincinnati, ami thev. too, may vote in future conventions; but all ot tiumi are not worth an onense to the singie folate ot and even Connecticut with the moral power she can add to ner unequal numbers, is more to be feared in a national convention than double the same votes from the brave, pioneers of the mountains wno nave no Electoral Col leges behind them. Then there is a popu lar suspicion abroad through the land that Carl Schurz a thief, and that he is un friendly to governmental crookedness of every form and the men whose opinions will stick and wear from one national convention to another are the men who think that there can be no compensating apology for lawlessness in Montana any more than in Maine or Pennsylvania. The attack of Blaine was sublime in 'impetuosity and doubtless did much to wake the Senate out Ol its chronic stupidity, but when Carl Schui answered that he didn't believe it to be un-American to stop stealing and enforce the laws, the Dutchman tore the brilliant Senatorial invective into shreds. True, Blaine won on the merits of the.

law, by amending the statutes to within range of his views, but on the substantial, merits of the issue of the fidelity of a cabinet officer, Schurz is victor as he was at Cincinnati when he declared that after Blaine would come the deluge. There is much on every hand to vex a man like Blaine, who sees boys and pre tenders revelling in what he considers his patrimony, and the general reign of little ness lsnt tranquilizing to one ot his broad gauge and big brain but so Clav fretted and failed and died; so Webster sobbed himself to distrust and and Blaine must be patient if he would fill the meas ure ot ins usefulness. He should study Buchanan's unimpassioned submission to Polk and Pierce, without absorbing the heart-rust that made Buchanan's greatest success his greatest misfortune, Hayes is President, and the how and why are among the irrevisable things we have to confront. Republicanism is disjointed and at times apparently ready to fall by hopeless disintegration; pigmies strut where onlv giants should appear, and the men who have done most and can do most to rear successinl party structures in the future are the least loved by the officials who wield Republican authority and claim the protection of the Republican flag; but patience is the jewel of evil days silence is golden when men are heedless, for the adder hisses when the wild bird sings. And ye the gloom that hangs over the political field to-day isn't entirely impenetrable, but ambition too readily leaps at the will o' the wisp and mistakes the less dazzling but steady star of hope that points to safety.

Two years must pass away before parties will be called into line to enter the next Presidential battle, and machines and factious aiul even power may be smashed and reconstructed many times 'twixt now and then hut tlie statesman who leaves the arts of the demagogue to pretentious littleness; who allows machines to break and repair themselves; and who steadily aims at the elevation of the public service and the honest prosperity of the whole country, must be the stronger of our great men in the future struggle for the political control of the government. If Blaine will commit a few of the most vital of these suggestions to memory, he may yet prove that greatness and ambition can dwell together outside of the temple of political death.

Ortainly the poorest resjiou I have seen in Kansas is to oa found between Klorence ami Kl Dorado.

For a distance of thirty miles or more after leaving Florence the soil is not more than two or throe incises deep, and underlaid with gumbo. As one approaches El Dorado the country is covered with small, dark-colored boulders, with strong indications of mineral. El Dorado is well located on the upper Walnut, mid to the south and wet is to he found a good agricultural region. The town bears evident signs of prosperity. It seems to be nearly as large as your suburban neighbor, With the location, the country which is tributary, and Alur-doc, of the Times, to advertise it, it seems likely to keep going.

One good feature of most of these towns is the scarcity of saloons. Having just returned from a trip to Riley I cannot see that vegetation is any farther advanced here than there. Tho district official is success as an evangelist. He says he is much better at "preying" than at singing. 1 le says that if lie meets any of the inhabitants in the regions of Pluto he will feel pretty clear of all responsibility for their being found in such bad company.

Spring work lias commenced and there is not so much attention paid to revivals and Murphy movements as there was last winter. One peculiar feature of this country is the light, frail, pine buildings. one house in twenty, in town or country, -is plastered. pine weather boarding and light pine ceiling, nailed to a few scantling, constitutes a vast whispering gallery, called a house. Stone is reasonably plenty, but must be hauled a distance of twenty miles.

Some of these windy days these pine towns will furnish fuel lor a nice little conflagration. The wells are nearly all drilled, and furnish water at the rate of two barrels per hour. CiKF Augusta, LJutler March '-'oil. Ashland. X.

from the Alma News. On Friday night, March U-Jnd, the store of Mr. Thoes, in Alma, was felon-ously entered by some persorn, whom he claims was familiar with the building. The entrance was fleeted through a window on the north side, ami thence through a trap-door into the store. Mr.

August Meyer was lie first person at the store on Saturday morning, and he found the trapdoor open and a lighted lamp standing by it. He soon found that the money drawers had been rifled of their contents about l'J that the stock of fine boots was strewn upon the floor, and that a pair of Xo. 0 had been selected and carried off; also a package of cotton half-hose, a dozen pocket handkerchiefs, a box of collars, one pair of gold sleeve buttons, one pnirof pearl sleeve buttons, and a partially burned match was found in the show case, from where the hitter goods were taken. Tho match had set on tire some of the cotton packing to tlie fancy goods, bid the lire had gone'out, A cigar of a peculiar brand was found on the lloor, which had been brought into the store by thief. On Saturday a search warrant was applied for, and about dark was placed in the hands of Sheriff Gardner who found in 11.

A. Hubbard's trunk, at his uncle's in this place, the peculiar pieces of money he was instructed to search for, and which were in Mr. Thoes' till when the store closed on Friday night. On Sunday morning, before daylight, Sheriff Gardner arrested II. A.

He says that two witnesses testified thai Hibbard icceivcd the marked coin, mentioned above, as change for a five dollar bill the evening before the robbery.
