Several large herds of Missouri cattle have passed through Yallc-y Falls in the last wee for summer pasture on the prairies of Jackson county.

Sup't. One thing that we need here is a Green House, and it is a wonder to us that some industrious man that understands the busi ness doesn't go into that when dull eare makes the hours drag Lea ily along, and tired mind needs rest from reading and ivoeation and the eye grows weary, nnd memory with a paag the scenes or beauty of other days and places, a calm, sweet, contenting, refreshing relief can be had by repairing to feastinrr the senses upon the lovely fragrant flowers. To Frescrre Flowers. It is often desirable to -preserve flowers nthered by departed friends, or render ed sacred by having decorated their cas kets. It can be easily and beautifully done by dipping th'j flowers, when fresh, and perfectly freo from moisture, into melted parafllnc.
The paratline should not be heated any more than to just melt it. The flowers should be dipped in it and moved about until no bubble of air appear abojt them. By this process they become hermetically scaled, and remain fresh and bright as when plucked from the stem. Hillyer's Hall has been furnished with seats for. an audience ol 12j, and is just such a room as our city has long needed.
Posts have been provided, lor the room below, that make the floor secure beyond a peradventure, and our citizens can now have little gatherings for amusement or information without placing the authorities ot the city churches in the embarrassing position of either refusing to open the church for an entertainment or incurring fie displeasure of those who think that churches should only be occupied for the purposes of religious instruction and religious worship.

In these times of 'Bankrupt Sales" and Openings," with not so grand a closing" on the basis of fifty cents on the dollar, it is with no small degree of satisfaction that we can say, that In twenty years of selling goods in Kansas, through tire and drouth, War, famine, pestilence and plagues, we have never yet failed to pay 100 cents on the dollar of our obligations, and now that we have put our trade squarely on a cash bu.sis, we will notquote the price of a few leading articles to prove that wc mean to sell our goods very low this is merely one of the of the trade," and when you see a merchant pist up in large letters over his door, yds of prints for 1.00," walk in and see. We hope you will remember: Walk into my ir, said the spider to the fly" when you realize that standard print cost nine cents per yard in the hands of the manufacturer, you can see the r.AiT intended for the CATCH in this ease.

Hilly xS THE CHEAPEST FARM TEMPERANCE COLUMN Edited under the direction of the Woman's Temperance Association of Valley Falls. WHY THE FAI1M IS AN DOYVX. Did you ever rid eby afarmiu the country that seemed as if by a very little effort it could be made beautiful, and produce large crops of sniiliiip; grain, and yet there was un air of listlcssnes3 about the entire place the land overgrown with grass and weeds, fences out of repair, and window stalled with old hats? And were you not able to guess at once the reason xchy tie farm teas running down The edi tor of one of our exchanges met such a ease lately, and here is the torv 'I wit riding past a large farm a few days since, in a public convey ance, when anan remarked, as he looked out "Th'is place seems to take lo red sorrel the best of anything. 1 should rather have it in ed clover," "Then, followed some conversa tion between him and the driver with regard to the owner of the property. Once he was ollered eight thousand dollars for it; now it would not bring half the money.
The fences were all broken down, the boards of the bar.i were swinging in the wind, the old plows and wagons stood about unsheltered in the neglected barnyard, and the house just opposite was in keeping with all the rest. The old man sons mostly hang around the old place but don't seem to do much toward keeping it. up. They are a lazy lot. All three of 'cm are at home now, living off their father.
How they live, with their families, I can't sec. They never have anything to sell off heir ace. "One could readily" believe that, when he took a survey of the broad liclds, which should have been covered with waving grain, but, instead. were red with sorrel. There sat the lazy young men, looking on the pas6crs-by, as if they had no other business in life.
The old farmer smoked his pipe, and saw his valuable place going to wreck and ruin with the coolest indifference. The women of such a household were well deserving of pity; for on them fell the principal burden of making bricks without straw. In such a Sleepy llollow" atmosphere, the most energetic would feel a lethargy the spirits, effectually checking all advancement.
