In August, 1873, they bought 48" head of Texas steers, two and three years old, at 12.50 per head. Wintered them that winter in stock fields, and fed them ten bushels of corn per head. During the summer they were herded on vacant lands, only costing the time of a herder. Last winter they took them west a hundred miles and kept them on a range without any hay or grain. This was out where it is still nearly all buffalo grass, which is a fine winter grass.

It took three men to care for them, which was all the expense of the winter. The stock came out fat and did finely this summer. They sold 470 head a few weeks ago at 55 per head. Deducting the cost of corn aud stock fields, they realized for the use of their capital and labor, 10 per head in about two years, or 19,000. It Pays! It Pays! WHAT PAYS? IT Pays every Manufacturer.

You wiil find the best assortment of teas, at The People's Store, ever brought to this market. I guarantee them to give satisfaction. the Constitution of the United States, making the ex-President thereof Senators for life, would be a good thing. May be it would. It certainly would be a good plan by which to keep that class of retired officials In office for life further than this we cannot see what par- tlcular benefit would result from such a meas- ure to the DeoDle at large, seems io us that when a President has faithfully served out nis term of office, he should be satisfied with official labor and be willing to at once retire to the blessed 'retreats of private life.

"Uneasy rests the head that wears a crown." It seems to U9 that this little scheme Is only another plan to continue in office men who, it may be, the peo ple are more willing should retire to those avo cations of private life from which they should never have been called. Certainly, if it ever occurs that there is an ex-President of these United States whom the people still desire to honor with office and power, it is an easy matter fr them to elect him a Senator, and keep on doing so as long as he continues to serve well their purposes as such. It is- not likelv that there would be more than four or five ex- President living at the same time, so that the additional expense incurred by the proposed Senators at large, would not be very great nev ertheless, if we have got along fair to middling heretofore without these appendages, would it not be well to continue In the old ruts until we are sure that a new departure" in the direction indicated would be really a beneficial measure? Let us try to ecouomize a little these hard times, and possibly we can run this government a little longer without these additional Senators Escape of Tweed. A disyatch from New York City, dated Dec. 4, says that while Wm.

M. Tweed was being ac companied by Warden Dunham, of Ludlow Street Jail, to the residence of Mrs. Tweed, at Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth st, and while there Tweed requested permission to see his wife privately. Officer Dunham unhesitatiugly granted the request, and Tweed went up-stairs to his wife's appartments, leaving one of his sons to entertain Dunham and the deputy. After waiting about ten minutes Dunham became un easy and sent young Tweed up-stairs to tell his father to come down immediately, as they desir ed to return to jail in a short time.

The young man returned aud informed Dunham that his fa ther had gone. Dunham at once searched the house thoroughly, but no trace of the Boss co'd be found. Leaving the deputy in charge of the house, Dunham hurried to the residence of sheriff Connor aud informed that officer of the es cape. The police authorities were promptly no tified. The Central Office detectives at once went out scouring the city in all directions.

Brutal Murder. Cleveland, umo, Dec. 4. About seven o' clock this morning, Wm. Ardeu, an Englishman, and au expressman for Cobb, Andrews living ou Scrantou avenue, quarreled with his wife, and becoming enraged, he caught up an ax and commenced beating her with it, severing her head from her body and otherwise horribly mu tilating her.

He then went to the coroner of Gordon street, with au ax and hammer, aud attacked his step-daughter, cutting her iu a fear ful manner. Mrs. Benton, who attempted to in terfere, was also chopped aud pounded with the hammer. The two latter, although still alive, are beyond all hope. The house presents an aw ful appearance, the walls and ceilings bespotted with blood, aud pools of gore lying upon the floor, dishes broken and chairs upturned, show ing a terrible struggle.

Alden was arrested ou Scranton avenue, while deliberately settling up his affairs, and locked up. He gives as a reason for this tripple murder, that his wife was a wid ow woman when he married her. When ques tioned why he was not satisfied with the killing of his wife, said he "wanted to put an end to all the whelps, for they drove him to it." There is great excitement in the city over this butcher. Nothing so sorrowful has ever before happened here. What Whisky Did.

As officer John Raleigh, of the Fraklin street police station, was on his beat in Park street, on the 2d he had bis attention called to a quarrel going on in the sixth story of No. 31 Park street. The officer immediately went up stairs, through the crowds who had been aroused by yells and screams coming from the rooms of Tat Toohey, a laborer, and his wife, aud on goini into the room he saw Margaret Toohey on the floor, almost naked, and a few charred pieces of her garments clinging to her body. In the room were four men, who had been lending a hand to put out the fire ou the woman's cloths and body The woman, as she lay ou the floor, after she had been restored to consciousness, said to the officer that her husband came home drunk at 9 o'clock and commenced abusing her. They quarreled for a long time, and finally, while she was preparing a steak for his supper, he com- plaiued of it being too rare, and she said it was difficult to please him, whereupon he poured the contents of a can of kerosene over her.

She screamed and prayed him not to set her alight, but he said, "By God, you shall burn, you she- devil." The oil being poured over her head, and getting into her eyes, saturated her dress, and he, in spite of her struggles, lighted a match aud set her on fire. Her screams were fearful, and soon the house was aroused, and likewise the neighborhood. When Officer Raleigh found her she was a pitiful sight. Great slabs of flesh hung from her arms, her breasts were burned fearfully, her hands were burned black as jet, her face was blackened, and her stomach was all charred. She will die.

The Ooal-Fields of Osage County, A correspondent of the Lawrence Standard has this to say, among other things, about the coal-fields of Osage county About two miles south of Burlingame we come upon the works of the Kansas Coal Com-pauy, composed of gentlemen from Atchison and working what is known as the Marple mine. This is probably the best and richest vein of coal in the county if not in the State. It is fully three feet in thickness. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road has run a switch to the mine. A sloping train way runs the whole length of the drift run by a powerful stationary eugine, drawing up the coal and returning the cars into the mine.

There is a bit of romance in a ride on this underground railroad." The long chute down the slope, in the midst of utter darkness, the short, sharp reverberations of the rattling train, the dashing lights from the rooms of the miners as we pass, the stooping forms of stalwart, swarthy, dirty miners each with bis fire-fly in his cap, the unconcealed possibility of danger, all combined to make the ride a very exciting little episode to the dull routine of above ground existence. The three foot vein of coal is distinctly visi ble all along the side of the tram-way and gives an idea of the inexhaustible amount. The fig ures, 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 bushels to a quarter section, give an approximation to the amount and at 14 cents per bushel, 1,500,000 its value, in the market. Six miles further north the Scranton mines, and again six miles further those of Carbondale, finish the worked coal fields. It is understood that all these are but the blossom to the actual coal wealth of the county.

There are vast outlying fields east of the present works, that are proposed to be reached by a new road running rrom Carbondale south. Tihe demand exceeds the possible supply.

It repudiates all offers of premiums, pictures, and sends to its patrons a splendid family newspaper of the largest dimensions, containing all the desirable news, religious and secular, and an endless variety of reading for young and old, all of which is pure and good.

Wilson and Astor. William B. Astor made 60,000,000 and died almost unnoticed and unlamented. Henry Wil son gave his life work to the cause of humanity, and died poor. Thousands followed his remains through the streets of the principal cities and to the grave amid pelting rain storms, while a nation is in mourning.

Millions of people in the humbler walks of life feel that they have lost a true friend. A noble man has gone who de voted his lire to their interests. This is one case at least, where worth seems to be valued above money. The lives of these two men fur nish an illustration that there is something better to live for than money worshipping. Henry Wilson will live in the good he has done for his race.

The history of the nation will point to him as a noble example. It can be said of Astor that he made money. Ex. MISCELLANEOUS PARAGRAPHS. story of Paul Morphy's insanity is contradicted, lie is not insane on general pnu ciples, but only iu relation to chess.

The following clever little song was written by Lucy Larcum, iu 1855, for which a prize of 50.00 was awarded. It is sung to the air of Nelly Bly. Our young readers who have a little music in their souls will find it a pretty song to commit to memory Yeomen strong, hither throng! Nature's honest men; We will make the wilderness Bud and bloom again. Bring the sickle, eed the plough, Turn the ready soil! Freedom Is the noblest pay For the free man's toil. Ho brothers, come brothers Hasten all with me We'll sing upon the Kansas plains A song of Liberty Father haste, o'er the waste Lies a pleasant land, There your fireside's altar stone, Fixed in truth shall stand.

There your sons, brave and good, Shall to freemen grow, Clad in triple mail of right Wrong to overthrow. Ho! brothers, come brothers, Hasten all with me; We'll sing upon the Kansas plaius A song of Liberty Mother, come here's a home In the waiting West; Bring the seeds of love and peace, You who sow them best. Faithful hearts, holy prayers, Keep from taint the air Soil a mother's tears have wet, Golden crops shall bear. Come, mother! fond mother, Let me call to thee We'll sing upon the Kansas plains A song of Liberty. Brother brave, stem the wave, Firm the prairies tread Up the dark Missouri flood Be your canvas spread.

Sister true, join us too, Where the Kansas flows, Let the Northern lily bloom With the Southern rose.

They are not only pleasant to take, but their operation Is easy unattended with any griping pain. They operate without producing any constitutional disturbance. Unlike other cathartics, they do not render the bowels costive after operation, but, on the contrary, they establish a permanently healthy action. Being entirely vegetable, no particular care is required while using them. 500 Reward is offered by the Proprietor to BUY any one who will detect in these Pellets any cal- r.i.n, nt moivni-v minora! lo.

T. Stewart has given $00,000 in gold lor a painting by Meissonier. It represents a regiment of French cuirassiers saluting Napoleon as they are dashing into battle. It was commenced in 18C5, and were offered for It by Mr. Trobasco, of Cincinnati.

A stouy of dreadful suffering and persecu tion comes from Western European Turkey. One hundred and fifty thousand Christian refu gees, homeless and almost naked, have sought protection in Montenegro, Croatia, and Servia from Turkish cruelty and oppression.

The lady correspondent who gives the Information says that this army of wanderers must starve or freeze unless assistance is rendered, and there fore appeals for aid. TnK December number of The Republic Magazine closes the fifth volume of this most excellent monthly. During the recent campaign The Republic did noble service for the nation It serves. The vital issues of the hour were kept closely defined before the people through its pages and the agencies it employed. The Republic deserves a wide circulation, and no citizen who aspires to a knowledge of the Government should be without this invaluable guide and political text book.

Ihe Manhattan Nationalist commenting up on the Agricultural College, says that when the new departure was inaugerated the Faculty found it up-hill work, and it was rendered all the more difficult by the fact that the students were not in sympathy with it. Most of them Were aspiring to the professions, and turned up their noses at industrials." But the professors persevered, and little by little infused their spirit into the pupils.

The incorrigible have mostly left, aud now the majority of both boys and girls take as much, aud some more, interest in the industrials than in the other studies. The present Khedive of Egypt is au extraor dinary man, of vast enterprise and boundless Wealth. He Is despotic in his views, but is de termined to make Egypt a powerful country once more by educating his people to intelli gence and strong character. He has established a general school system, extending through the whole country, and makes education compulsory. Already the ratio of persons unable to read and write is smaller than in France or Italy, and children of the peasantry are better taught than in England.

Provision is made even for the education of girls, a wonderful change for an east ern country; and Miss Whately, an English lady niece of the late Arch-bishop Whately, is the head of a system of well-endowed femah schools. The Khedive hopes by educating the children of the Fellahs, the lowest class of peo ple, and fitting them for intelligent domestic service, to put au end to slavery in Egypt. The demand for negro slaves will cease if a better class of workers can be found nearer home. A dispatch from Potts ville, dated December 3rd, says that in consequence of the overstocked condition of the eastern markets and the close of navigation, the Philadelphia Reading Coal and Iron Company will, to-morrow, direct the stopping of thirty of their forty collieries in this re gion, the remaining ten having a producing capacity of 4,000 tons daily, to continue to supply the furnaces and railways in this vicinity. About 5,000 men and boys are thrown out of employ ment.

Twenty-five individual collieries will nl- 80 suspend during the week, and it is thought that by December 15th the suspension will be general, and over 10,000 people be out of employment in the Schuylkill region. The suspension may not last over two months, though fears ure entertained that work will not be resumed until spring, or, if trade continues dull, orders be issued by the Reading Coal and Mining Company, to stop work at their various ore mines where COO men are now employed. It is claimed enough ore has been mined, stacked and got ready for shipping, to supply all demands until spring. Railroad Fare to the Centennial. It secerns that the railroad lines leading from the west to the east propose to make a little fortune out of the people next year.

Those who have made up their minds to visit the Centennial and friends east next year, with the expectation that the railroad fare would be greatly reduced from ordinary rates, will be disappointed when they learn that the leading railroad companies have already fixed the peice of passenger rates at two-thirds the usual fare. At a recent meeting of the Kansas Centennial Committee, held in Topeka, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, The railroad companies of the country have combined and agreed to reduce passenger rates to aud from the Centennial only one-third, with no reduction at all upon products goiug to it, but returned free, as little if any will be returned therefore, Resolved, That the Centennial Exposition Is au earnest exhibit of the desire of the Government to bring together the East, West, North and South in showing up the wonderful resources of this great country. Resolved, That the recent disposition manifested by the railroad corporations disappoints the hopes of the American people and shows a disregard for the success of our great national birthday celebration. Resolved, That it is the expression or this meeting that our State, either in mass meeting assembled or through its legislature, should en tfolllv Potest against the short-sighted t61 by the railroads, and takeuch th0ught Usable in the premises. We believe the railroad compauies can well afford to carry the people to and from the Centennial exposition for at least half the usual rates, umrauty to do so.

It is to be hoped that the people will BO manifest their displeasure at this attempt on the part of the railroad companies to take advantage of their necessities as will bring said roads to a decent sense of their duty in the matter. Many poor people in Kansas havfc been saving and waiting for years for this golden opportunity to once more return to their old homes and friends in the east, and for the railroad companies to thus combine to crush their hopes and expectatatlans, is an indecent and inhuman disregard of their duties as common carriers, since it is always customary for railroads to give greatly reduced fare when there is an extraordinary demand for trav el, such as excursions to large public gatherings, etc. We hope the legislature of the different States will take this matter in hand and see that the people are not imdos'etf upon.
