It has been remarked that those persons who need the instructions contained in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary are the ones who never look into it, while those who need it the least are the ones who most use it. And so we find it in other matters.

This strange anomaly exists in the case we are speaking about. These three farmers who were engaged in making their ground ready for spring planting were not the needy class, who are always in debt and losing their time and fretting about hard times and the other misfortunes which beset and harass us but they were, to use a home phrase, well-to-do farmers they had good fences, comfortable but plain dwellings, barns and sheds for their cattle, and a good supply of provender to winter their stock. Yet they were busily engaged in providing for another year's necessities, while others who were more needy, perhaps, were out hunting or talking politics at some public resort. 1 While we are earnestly engaged on the subject of reform, in ventilating the leaks of our county 'and state officials, to remedy the hard times, would it not be wise for us to look around home, put our shoulders to the wheel, aud take a few lessons of industry and economy from those who are found plowing their ground in the fall for the purpose of lessening the labor of the spring. J.

II. Lane, Kansas. A LETTER FROM OSAWATOMIE. The Trouble) la tne Asylum for the Insane Osawatomie, Dec. 29.

1873. Editor Journal Within the last three weeks this section of the county has been in a state of excite ment by the recent events which have transpired at the state insane asylum, which is located mile north of this town. At the last meeting of the which was held on the commencement of this month, certain attendants employed In the wards andabout the institution wrote out a number of charges against Dr. Knapp, the newly appointed superintendent. The board, or at least a majority of them, ignored the counts which were alleged against the doctor.

This action of the board was looked upon as an act sustaining the superintendent in his position. Twenty four of the attendants thereon delivered up their keys of the wards and left the institution. Since that time six more have left who filled certain positions in the asylum. Such a general stampede would indicate that there must be some serious mismanagement somewhere. I have taken considerable pains to understand the cause of the difficul ty.

The late-appointed medical su perintendent is making an effort to run the institution on what we may consider a military plan. His friends say that he is aiming to economize the expenses of the institution, Ou the other hand, those who have left the institution (and many of them have been employed for several years past) say that the doctor is an arbitrary tyrant and totally unfit for the position he has in charge, that not a man in ten thousand could be found who possesses so little of that trait of character which Is necessary to conduct an institu tion of this kind. I refrain at this time to give you the itemized statements which this crowd of witnesses testify to, as they are about filing their various statements in the form of affidavits, and as soon as this is done I will send you a copy of them. Handbills are issued calling a meeting of the citizens of Miami county to meet at Osawatomie on Friday next at the hour of 10 o'clock a. to take into consideration tne reports concerning abnses In the in sane asylum, and tate sued action as may be necessary in regard to the management of that institution.

All persons who feel an interest that right aud justice shall pre vail over red tape and arbitrary dis cipline are requested to be present. (Signed Many ma can is luuicauve oi me spirit of the people concerning the manage ment of the asylum uuder Lr. Knapp. This same institution nas been run for the last eight years to the interest of all concerned without the least shadow of insubordination manifesting itself. It is only since the insane effort has been made to run the institution on the military plan that the spirit of insubordina tion (as it is called) has showed it self.

For our part we should consider It as expedient to have a griz zly bear to preside over a Sunday school as for a superintendent ot an insane asylum to run it on a strict military discipline. There should be mutual good feeling between the employer and the employed, out the moment the military code is introduced mutual good feelings become changed. The practice or treating tne dreadful disease of insanity has undergone a wonderful revolution within the last half century. We no longer witness the rings and bolts which confined the maniao to his cell. In place of the dark and gloomy dungeon, light and well-ventilated departments are substituted in place of brute force, kindness and Christian feeling are the antidotes.

It is not military discipline needed, but humanity, kindness and the Christian virtues. Yes, it is humanity this is the chief Instrumentality to alleviate the dreadful misfortune which falls to the lot of a portion of society. Justice. British Claims. Washington, Jan.

Not the slightest nxiety is felt at the navy department for" the safety of the United States steamer Franklin. That vessel sailed from Boston on the 23d of December for Key West, and under general instructions of the department probably went out under sail; hence it is likely she may not reach her destination for a week to come, as she no doubt put to sea to avoid the gulf stream and did not encounter; the trade winds reaching the southern latitudes fThe Franklin had on board a green- ere and some attention has probably been given to instruction instead of golug to Key West by; the shortest route.

2. The striding engineers here still hold out not withstanding the strike is breaking at other -points. The eal trouble here now is that the engineers know that certain ringleaders will not be taken back into the employ of the railroad company, and so stick together, hoping to force! the employment even of the leaders. The railroad authorities have given notice that all. who waut their: engines had bettter apply at once.

The running of all regular passenger trains has transferred the excitement to the freight yard, but no out break has occurred. It ia thought that the appointment of H. J. Jewett as general manager will have ad ex cellent effect ou the trouble, -i- StL Louis," Jan. 2.

The strike on tho Pennsylvania Central railroad and connecting lines is so far ended that all through passenger trains are now running regularly aud on time from here to the east. There has not been any trouble on the Vanda- lia rosd, which is the western link ot the Pennsylvania Central to this city, nor wilt there be, the engineers on that line having submitted without hesitation to a temporary reduc tion of wflies. The places of many of the strikers east are being filled by western engineers. Several have already been forwarded from here, and more left on to-night's, train. From St.

-The facte, as related bylludsou, are as follows: A son of Dority had been working for man namedc John and the parties all mot at Craig on New Year's day, wheu Scott remarked to Hudson i I am going to have a boy that works for me whip you." Hudson replied He" cannot do nor any one of the name of Dority. Wm. Dority, the father of the boy, then interfered, saying to Hudson "-You must take that back and not say it again." Hudson replied What I said once I will say again." Whereupon Dority pulled oil his coat: and made a pass at Hudson, whichj was warded off. He struck "again and knocked the latter down, and was preparing to punish him further, when Hudson drew a small pocket knife and stabbed him to the heart. Dority partly raised up, exclaimed, "I'm killed," and fell dead.

Hudson was committed to the Oregon jail. Action of Beecher's Chnrch. New York, Jan. 2. At the conclusion of the usual Friday evening prayer meeting at Plymouth church, Brooklyn, to-night, Mr.

Sherman, clerk of the church, read a communication which had been received from a joint committee of the Church of the Pilgrims and the Clinton Avenue church, after which Beecher rose and said that he deemed It not inappropriate to take Bteps for the purpose of making a reply to this letter. He had asked some of the brethren to draw up a reply, and he had also drawn up a letter, which he would request Raymond to read, and asked that it be signed and forwarded to the committee of the two churches. Prof. Robert Raymond then read the reply to the communication of the committees of the Church of the Pilgrims and ClintonA venue church. The U.

A Washington special to the Evening Dispatch says the trial of Conway, who attempted to kill ex-Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, commences Monday. Strong efforts have been made to stop the proceedings against Pomeroy himself not desiring them to go on. Conway is in possession of secrets that persons high in authority do not want divulged. Grant, if let alone long enough to have a commission made out, will most probably appoint Judge Lowe to the vacancy left by Delahay. The Virginias.

Washington, Jan. 2. No official information has been received confirmatory of the report from Madrid respecting indemnity to be demanded by the Spanish government ip the case of the Virginias, nor is it probable that any such claim will be presented.

3, 1874. WAIT. Our columns this morning contain communication concerning the dif ficulties in the asylum for the insane in connection with the new superin- tendent. We need hardly remind our readers that there are two sides to every question, and it would per nios be well to suspend judgment until something is heard from the other side. LEAVES WORTH A BOAST OF PBOSPERITT AJfD A WAIX OF POTEBTT.

The Leavenworth Commercial is sued an extra sheet on New Year's day devoted to setting forth the trade, growth and prosperity of Leavenworth during the past year. Its character maybe indged from the following headings of the article A good showing for hard times "Continued extension of our commercial interests;" "Healthy growth of our manufacturing industries" increase in wholesale operations;" "General prosperity of the people The steady increase of the population." The increase of trade is from $18,000,000 in 1872 to $24,833,000 in 1873, or just 33 per cent. The increase of manufactures is from $2,000,000 in 1872 to in 1873. The general prosperity of the city, remarks the Commercial, is shown by the regular and steady increase of the population, which it estimates at 30,000 as against 18,000 in 1870. This is truly a fine showing, and the whole state will rejoice with Leavenworth in her prdlperity.

Reflecting upon this splendid growth in population and wealth, we were somewhat surprised to learn from figures given in the Leavenworth Call that the valuation of personal property on the tax list in Leaven-, worth is but little more than half what it was in 1866, and to find in the same number of the Commercial from which the above facts and figures are quoted the following doleful wail over the inability of the people of that prosperous city to pay their taxes I POSTPONE THE PENALTY. One year ago this morning we published editorially the remarks which follow. How much more appropriate they are to-day every reader must feel: Whatever taxes are to be paid without penalty have been paid. We now therefore, in view of the unprecedented hardness of the times, urge upon the city council, the county board and the legislature to postpone the time for adding on the penalty. The entire public of the state will indorse this measure, and applaud the act.

Not only through Kansas, but all over the nation, money is scarcer than at any time since 1857, and it is absolutely and utterly impossible in most cases te raise the funds to meet the taxes. The time ought to be extended until the first of June, so as to allow the people time to realize upon their crops and assets. We hope our members of the council, the county board and the legislature will act in unison and postpone the time for adding the penalty to the taxes. The people everywhere are in favor of it. It strikes us that a city which has increased its general trade one-third, and its' manufactures more than a third during the year 1873 has no business pleading poverty when it comes to the payment of taxes.

The other cities and counties of the state are paying their taxes more promptly than ever. They ask no postponement. Let Leavenworth walk up and pay her taxes, as the above showing demonstrates that she is abundantly able to do. Let her set the example she ought to the rest of the state of promptness and business fidelity. FARM NOTES.

During a trip of some twenty miles in the country in the month of November, on one of those genial days which annually visit us in the autumn months called Indian summer, I noticed three farmers plowing up their ground for spring work. The ground was in excellent condition, having received a fine rain a few days before, and the weather was of that degree of temperature that renders labor agreeable. The horses were in good condition, as they generally are in the fall, and walked along with a lively gait. Tarrying for a few minutes to con verse with one of these enterprising farmers for there is always some item to be gathered by the wayside, if we will only seek to obtain it he informed me that he generally plow ed what ground ne coma in the fall for corn the following spring, and invariably he plowed his oats ground, as he had always raised the best oats when sowed as early in the spring as the ground would admit of. vv nat amerence, if any, do you find in the corn crop when planted in fall plowing I inquired.

He thought the ground became better pulverized by the freezing and was more easily tended, aunougn tne weeds' in the spring would come up earlier, but they must be Kept down by tending: but he added: "The great advantage which is derived from plowing ground in the fall is that the spring work is always pressing, too much work is neces sary to be done in a given time; this is always the case with me tnereiore try to gain time by fan plowing." "Last spring," said he, was extremely wet it rained for weecs, and dozens ox my neighbors did not Put out half the com crronnd they had calculated on. and it would have been the same with me, but jortunaieiy i naa aoouc twenty acres For the delivery ut the railra I 8U1un nearest Fort Larne.t, Kansas, of lOO OOO IomiIs orn.
