The Norwich News was jubilant last week because somo surveyors passed through their city and it was supposed tho surveyors were mapping out tho cut off from Sedgwick City to Attica.

But such was not the coso. Theso men worn the employ of tho Solomau Valley, Gypsum Gulf railroad. When the ont-of is built it will cross tho K. W. at Spivey and don't you forgot it.

Spivcy Dispatch. Bro. Brown, your thoughts wore very remote from the facts iu tho caso when you Indited tho above. If you could have interviewed Chief Engineer Baker and ids staff you would have learned a few facts about this line of road that would mako you long for a homo iu a thriving town like Norwich. Wo have the friendliest feeling toward Spivey, but when its citizens as sert that tho Soioman Valley, Gypsum ft Gulf road will bo built through Spivcy in preference to Norwich we think they don't know much about railroad building.

Bro. Brown, take your map and draw an air line from Sedgwick City to Kiowa and you will readily see that the line passes through Norwich and Harper. This road, we learn rrora a reliable source, is to be an air lint from Sedawick City to Kiowa. We liavocause to be jubilant over tho pre sent bright prospects of getting this new line of road A Hutch Landscape. A Dutch landscape preionta a certain not nepleuing uniformity.

The eye takes in at once a broad expanse. The (lew is bounded by trees that ore only i rows or small groves, but seem to become a forest as the distance in creases, tm most striking feature is the broad meadows, literally covered frith cattle, such as are seen in the pic- tares of native artiita. These fields, sjrken the ground near the level of the rater, are divided into parallelogram! asperated by small eanals or ditches Tared with aquatio vegetation. Com-unlcation between parte of the seme property maintained by low bridges scarcely rising above the general sur-ifaoe. Here and there tho farm-houses ftn the brink of a canal or among the selds, usually encircled by a garden and a few trees, and perbapi the ground slightly raised or depressed by a low dike.

The farm-houses retemble in I general way those of Belgeum, with (heir steep roofs covered with tiles and their ainail windows. They are not so trimly kept, and the scattering vllsges are not so neat Now and then a fJiurch may be noticed standing alone, fa ground raised three or four feet fjbove the plain surrounded by a walk Its spire rising from a mass of foliage. There are here and there viiazes stretched for a mile or more hi single file on either eide a canal which serves aa the only street Windmills are visible on every hand, each supported by a tower so low that when the arms revolve they seem almost to touch the ground. Nowhere can they be seen in such numbers or so closely grouped as in some localities about San Franoisco bay. They are well made and well kept, but no longer or more powerful than can be seen in many localities in France.

Over these monotonous landscapes there bends a sky, not Italian, not deeply, darkly, beautifully blue, not even at autum season, but of that white-cerulean tint which seems ever to remind you that the winter is close at hand. But the clouds are often soft, fleecy, and comforting and the light which bathes the meadows has nothing of the desert glare, nothing opthaline in its fullnes, but is rest and healing to the weary eyes of the traveler.J?rtfOifc tyn Magazine.

'Mrs. S. S. Mounts and little daughter, entered an Austin restaurant and, tak ing a seat near tho door, was soon confronted by a waiter, to whom he com municated his order. Tho meal was soon before him, smoking hot, and as the waiter was about to withdraw, the stranger said; "Er see here; there are no files la this coffee.

"Flies! 0, no, sir," ropllod the men with the Mssonlo apron, and a napkin over his shoulder. 'I had expected to meet them herein foot. bad half-way promised to why, heavens!

"Our butter has no hair." "I see," sighed the man, "bald as a door knob.
