to satisfy for he says that "'Aliquis' has lucidly and logically proved that the 'hoppers ate sent of God as a judgment or punishment for the sin of our people." Is this ironical, or a sincere endorsement of the argument If a confession that -'Aliquis" has proved his point, where is there any ground for controversy? The point being proved, we have only to say, repent, "let the wicked forsake his wayp," then the 'hoppers will leave, yon may rest assured. But if the language of is ironical, then the inference is that he denies all, from premises to conclusion. If so, why not come out like a man and say so in unequivocal terms, and not hide behind A pile of- intcrrugatives; so A Poeiii by Tom Paine. From the Magazine of American History. In the regions of clouds, where the whirl winds arise, My castle of fancv was built; Tlie turrets reflected the blue of the skies, And the windows of sunbeams were gil'.

The rainbow sometimas, in its beautiful state, Euarnell'd the mansion around; And the figures that laney in clouds' can create Supplied nie that garden and ground. I had grottoes arid fotintzirfs and orange-tree I had all that euchantriieut Had to'Vf I had sweet shady walks for the gods and their loves, I had mountains of coral and gold. But a etorm that I felt not had risen and roll'd While enwrapped i.i a slumber I lay; And when I look'd out in the morning, behold! My castle was carried away. I p.issed over rivers and valleys and groves, The nurld was all id iriy view; I thought of my friends," of their fates, of their loves; And often, fulJ.ol'ten of j-ou. At length I cnie over a beautiful scene, Which nature in silence had made; The place was but small, but 'twas sweetly serene, And cl.ecker'd with sunshine and shade.

time the road Is built to the Arkansas and work commences in this direction our Narrow Gauge will be completed to St. Louh, thus giving to the people along the two hundred miles of the Kansas City, Emporia Southern road a cheap competing line through to St. Louis. Considering this important fact, we do not wonder at the interest ot the people of Southwestern Kansas in its early sticcess. The proposition to subscribe aid in Lyoti county has already been submitted to the people, and the members of the committee from there" think there is no doubt but that Lyon county will take the amount required.

A rridve is to be at once made to secure the subscription of stock iii Green wCOdj Butler, and Cowley counties, with every prospect of success. Soutli of Emporia the roid is to have two lines, one to Arkansas City as already described, and one south by way of Eureka and the Fall River valley. This route would traverse one of the best and richest tegiohs of Southern Kansas. Our citizens evinced their interest in the enterprise by showing the members of the committee every attention, and affording them all the information at their hands; and we predict our people will cori-tfibute all in their power to push the new enterprise to success. At noon the committee visited the Board of Trade for the purpose ot lnying the hew enterprise befoie the body.

A cordial reception was extended both to the committee and the proposed road, and after Various brief statements the Board adopted a resolution which heartily indorsed the enterprise, and promised it all the aid in its power Where Nickel Cohics EVoirii cation of his people. Che to pah was a Chief Counselor for the tribe, and the subject upon whom presents and favors were not unffequently bestowed by the Agent, thus continuing his fidelity and alienating him irom a portion of the tribe. A little more than a ago the rupture assumed such formidable proportions that bloodshed among the Osages wa3 loudly threatened, and in evidence of which we here quote from Agent Gibson to Supt. Hoag under date of Oct. 24; 1875: "Lust night I sent a request to the nearest military station (Cheyenne and Arapahoe Agency) for 100 cavalry for the purpose of pre-seiving life and Government property at this Ageric." The cayalry came and the bitterness of feeling that had been fostered in both factions culminated, but was lessened in no degree.

The military remained two months and possibly prevented an outbreak and the shedding ot blood, but still the party strife, in all the force of savage nature, was yet obvious and continued up to and on the advent ot. Cyrus Beejle, the present U. S. Agent. Che to pih at the head of one part', and Joe Pah-ne no pah she the other, and each desiring to be Governor of the tribe, The friends of no two Presidental candidates ever resorted to means more questionable to secure election or installation.

Both parties claimed the electoral vote, and in this condition Agent Beede found the Osages less than one year ago. Two days were spent in tumultuous council before ah opportunity was given him even to suggest a remedy for the trouble which they felt their inability to settle in peace. At the close of the day's council, when both parties were in dispair, they were ready for the advice of their new Ageut, which was an acknowledgement of joe Pah ne no pah she ws Governor, and Che to-pah Dreaming of kindlier, warmer suns, Dreaming of happier hours, We dicell in a future that never sheds O'er our heads Its living rlowers; In fancy we gather with eager glee. What fate dooms to perish in infancy. The youth is dreaming of laurels won On the.

battle field of life; He.saes the hour of triumph near, Ner recks of tin? years of strife. Yet his flashing eye shall be sunk and dim Ere the victor's wreath may be won for him. The maiden dreatneth her deafest dream The human heart may treasure, Of a sunlit home where faith and love Flow forth in ceaseless measure. Let her dream Bor whisper the future brings No rainbow hues on its darkening wings. let theiri dream they will rouse it duty's call, Eager for nobler doing: Will catch the light pn her steel-crowned helm, And turn from fancy's wooing; And visions of love and of fame will die As the sunset gleam from the wintry sky.

And yet, though the dreams of earth be fair, God grant iKat a dreamless sleep May seal the eyes that have learned too well O'er waking thoughts to" weep Till a morn shall break on their dazzled sight, Crowning earth's dream in a trrier light. For the Traveler. Tlie Grasshopper Question. Mr. Editor In your issue of Dec.

20th there appears an article under the head of Ali-quis." A reply was not expected, especially not such as was given. One could scarcely believe that the doctrine of "Aliquis" would be denied in this community, but raher that it woiild be heartily endorsed in every Christian community. But it seems that Mr. is not satisfied. It was not expected that an atheist or an infidel would endorse "Aliquis' The man who can look upon this great globe, stamped all over with the footprints of Divinity the marks of design, power, justice, goodness and mercy and up to the heavens, the su'p, moon and stars, the 'countless worlds that roll in infinite space and say '-there is no God," would mock at the doctrine of a divine providetice.

It was not expected that such a man would believe there is either sin or punishment in the world. And if there is no divine supremacy hio infinite mind and no almighty power directing all things to a proper end the universe is without a God. and you are at once in the world of ah atheist, where reason runs mad, reeling amid confusion, fatalism and inexplicable mystery. In such a world there could be no peml suffering, as there could be no sin, for sin is the transgression of ihe law, and where there is no law there can be no transgression, and if there is no God there cati be no moral law, for then there is no law giver, and hence no providential government neither virtue nor vice. Actions would then have no moral character.

Nothing is right, and nothing is wrong, for moral obligation does not spring oat of the earth, nor is it fcund in the rocks. Neither can the opinion or will of one man create a moraj principle or law that shall bind his neighbor. All the councils and legislatures of he world cannot create a single principle or least degree of moral obligation. Man was created a moral agent a sub ject of law, and not a law -giver, and his creator's will is the only law. With this view everything is accounted for under the government of Him who "uoeth according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth." But how can an infidel account for the suffering ol moral creatures in thi3 world the agonies of soul endured, the tauntings of conscience, the distressing forebodings of a dying culprit, the peaceiul death bed of a Christian, the unspeakable joys and unujterable woes in this changing world With him there Is no explanation.

That "certain learful looking for of judgment and fiery cannot be expelled from the breast of an impenitent sinner in the jaws of death by any infidel sophism or Stoic philosophy. stated only what is believed by aH who acknowledge the God of Israel and believeina universal and particular providence, and hence did not think it necessary to specify all the pins commitfed in this land, as he did not suppose the general doctrine would be denied, and did not wish to take up room with the black catalogue. Further, he wished to be polite, and make it assmooth as possible according to modern style.

This request can be easily granted, but space will not allow us to specify in detail. Those who "take the papers," and travel, know that sin is fearfully prevalent, and the most shocking crimes come to light every day. Profanity taints tlie air "the land mourneth because of swearing;" in the street, shop, along all our thoroughfares in courts of jus tice. and in almost every quarter, horria oaths grate the ear.

Next, Sabbath breaking. The fourth commandment is a moral law. Whoever disregards it is immoral, and impious, too. A Sabba'h breaker strikes a blow at all religion and all virtue, for Christianity and the Sabbath stand or fall together. Generally men without a Sabbath are men without piety.

Will God overlook this creat sin (Neh. 13: 17-19.) Third, lying. Business lying, political lying, ecclesiastical lying, and plenty of lying just for the sake or lying. "I said in my haste all men were liars." Ps.) Fourth, reports on every side tell us of cheating, extortion, swindling, forgeries, thefts, robberies burglaries, gambling, confidence games aud blackmailing, and ways without number in which men wrong their fellows. Finally, a most heinous sin, of which vast multitudes are guilty, is refusing to acknowledge the hand of God either in blessings or.

calamities. Why shut out from all the affairs of men the interference of this great and gracious God, in whom we "live, and move, and have our being" whose beneficent hand bestows all our blessings? How many reluse to acknowledge Vis. Their whole life is just what it would be it there were no God. They borrow no impulse to their will from anj tiling which they believe to be the will of God. Prac tically they are "without God in the world." Not avowed atheists, perhaps, but practically so.

Religion has as little to do with their daily lives as it has to do with the growth of their bodies. This is most insulting. To enjoy a gift without a thought of the giver is base ingratitude. See Levit. 26:21.

Joel 1:4, 2:25, Amos 4:9, Til. These texts show why the 'hoppers come. Added "to all this is the awful sin of unbeliefsin against mercy, the rejection of Christ the wiour. If the religion ot Christ is anything, it is everything, and then to treat it with, contempt is a terrible affront. (Heb.

We cannot do justice to the subject lor the want of space. Aliquis. Che-to-pah and His Death. It is well known by those of our readers who are acquainted with Indian history that rank ot position in the tribe-of t)sages especially is accorded by hereditary right, either with or without qualification, but Che to pah was an exception to this rule. Royal blood did not give him position abovo others.

He was a self made man among savages, who had forced his way, step by step, from one position to another, and ending his earthly ca reer just one step below that of his highest ambiiiou. He was a politician among savages, and at an early day he saw as few of his race did that the advancing hordes of civilization "were encroaching upon the rights of Indians. At a time when ft was unpopular among his people to advocate the cause "of civilisation he saw befo're hitn two roads -the way of his ancestors with the enchantments of the chase, and the road to civilization aiid self support by tilling the soil. In the absence of ibuffalo and the scarcity of other wild game he saw necessity for the abandonment 6f the former and the acceptance of the latter, and though clad in a blanket he put hi3 children in school and advocate the civilization and edu I gaz'd and 1 envied with painful good will, Aud grew tired of my state in the fir; YYneii, all ot a Sudden, my castle stood still, As if some attraction was there.

Kansas City, Emporia Southern JRaiload An Important Sew Enterprise. The eighteen page number of the Kansas City Daily Journal, issued on the 14th contained the following editorial indorsement of our proposed narrow gauge railroad from Kansas City to Arkansas City Many of our citizens are aware that for some years attempts have been made at different times tobuild a railroad from this city via Ottawa and the Marias deS Cygnes valley t' Emporia, and thence down the Walnut valley. This route has? always been a popular one, at different times considerable amounts of local aid have been voted it. But each attempt to put the enterprise upon its feet has met with failure, owing to causes which it is not now necessary to mention.

We have always regarded this as an enterprise of great importance to this city, and on one occasion, several yenrs ago. our citizens voted aid for it. While by roads now in existence we reach portions of the country which would be traversed by the new. one-, yet St wonld open ap tons direct communication with extensive and important grain and stock raising regions, to wit the Marias des Cygnes, the Walnut, the Verdigris and Fall river valleys. Its construction would pour into our city a valuable addition to our trade.

Hence, wo bespeak for the enterprise that attention from our business men and capitalists which its importance demands. A committee of gentlemen from counties along the line of the proposed road was in the city yester-day for the purpose of inviting the attention of our people to the enterprise, which is now organized and put upon a footing which seems to require its construction. It is proposed to make it a narrow gauge road, and it was a part ot the business, also, of the committer to gather 6uch information in regard to any narrow gauge road, the Wyandott, Kansas City and Northwestern, as could be obtained, and especially to learn of the prospects of its completion to St. Louis. We learn from this committee that the work of organization has been going on for some months that an experienced engineer haa been over the route south of Emporia, and that a company of capitalists have entered into contract to bcild the road, conditioned that certain local aid is subscribed along the line.

The company is composed of leading capitalists and railroad builders of the Northwest. It is proposed to commence at Emporia, iu Lyon county, and build south, first down the Walnut river to tha Arkansas, at or near Arkansas City, and then to immediately push the work in this direction. It i3 believed by all that by the i i ji 1 I i 5 i It may not be generally known that the nickel deposit hear the Gap, Lancaster county, is considered the largest yet discovered in the world, and the only deposit of the ore worked in America. The mine is on the high dividing-line between Chester and equea Valleys. Besides nickel, copper and limestone are found in the same locality.

Nickel was discovered here about the year 1856, though copper, which is taken from the same mine, was known in this place seventy years ago. The ore has a gray color, is very heavy, and so hard that it is mined entirely by blasting. Alter the ore has been broken into 6iuall fragments it is put into kilns holding 80 or 90 tons each, and subjected at first to heat produced by the burning of a small quanity of wood and continued by the conbustion of expelled gas. It is then put into a smelling furnace and undergoes a treatment similar to that of iron ore. The product resulting from this treatment is reduced to powder by passing it between iron rollers, and then shipped to Camden, N.

where a complete separation is made of the nickel and copper. The price of puro nickel i3 over $2 a pound. From 403 to 500 tons of ore are taken irom the mine per month, and the mining and working of this requires the labor of 175 hands a few Cornish and the rest American miners. Lancaster Pa.) Express. The enormous cost of funerals is again attracting attention in New York.

A leading undertaker oi that city declares that the most economical funeral which one can possibly have with any regard for decency, costs $200. The funeral of the two actors burned in tlie Brooklyn theatre, at which there were ten carriages and two plain caskets, cost $765, and was considered cheap at that. At such extravagant rates few people can really afford to die, unless they devise their remains to the college of surgeons for dissection, or disposo of them by cremation, which costs only per head. Don't invite trouble. Talking i3 not thinking.

Brood not over imaginary wrongs. To spend foolishly is to invite poverty. True manhood never abuses a woman. Wise men die fools are Vith us always. Any person who Wishes can be miserable.

The liar is the 'devil's most intimate friend. The blasphemer is the devil's free, contributor. Self righteousness and injured innocence go hand in hacdi God brings us into straits, that he -may bring ns to our knees, as Chiel Counselor. The fact of their being the leaders contending factious gave thern power to harmonize a distracted people, and aleo to lead them on to a higher and better life. This advice being so unlike that given by their form er Agent was a surprise, but at last accepted and Joe and Che to pah were made Governor an i Chief Counselor.

The heated term now rapidly passed, and at the instance of Agent Beede the Osages elected a Business Committee who, in con junction with the "Governor aud Chief Counselor, transact the necessary business of the tribe, and of whom mention was made in a form er number of this piper. Che-to-pah and Joe now became warm friends, and iu proof of which, with the esteem in which Agent Beede was held by Che to-pah, even to the last, there is no better evidence needed than which was witnessed iu Ch-to-pah's camp by Acting Commissioner Galpin, Su--perintendent Nicholson and our self on the 31st day of last mont h. Che to pah had lor some months suffered from disease, aud being conscious of Ms near approach fo death, runners were, ent to invite Agent Beede, the Business Committee and the gentlemen above named to his wigwam. After giving gtneral instructions as to the disposition of his affairs he referred to his life as a public servant and said he had hoped that ne might live to do still more for his people, but that now death was near, lie had two favorite ponies at the door of hi3 lodge, one of which he requested Agent Beede to accept as a token of his friendship for hrra and his confidence in his fidelity to the interests Of the Osages, and the remaining one was his last present to Governor Joe, and for whom he cherished no feeling of bitterness but one of friendship. Under the best treatment aud nursing that couli be given hitn in the absence of sufficient medical supplies and proper hospital accommodations he rallied, and for eight days gave hope of ultimate recovery, but relapsed and died on the 9ih inst.

From the Atchison Patriot we learn that two colored men, named Amos Johnson and Cal Johnson (not relatives), living near Atchison, got into a row about the driving of a team, both being drunk, and a final meeting some hours later resulted in the killing of Cal Johnson by Amos. A knee full Of buckshot created so much nervous excitement, together with Iris drunkenness, that amputation could not safely be performed. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of willful murder. 7..
