BLAINE, Of Maine. "Wanted THE NEW STYLO Afler months, and almost years of waiting, the First Comptroller of the Treasury at Washington, has decided that Kansas is entitled to 5 per cent, on the sale of lands in 'Kansas, which, at the time of our admission as a State, were Indian Reservations. This question has now passed through every stage, the Comptroller being the last official who had a guess at the law. This will put a dear little three-year-old who bunca his head under the clothes and sings, "Now I lay me down to sleep. Pop goes the weaseL" Tight lacing should be encouraged in every possible way.

It kills off the fool ish girls and leaves the sensible ones. zno healthy girl ever laces. It is leap year, of course, but after all 1 .1. ii uutasu tuuk very weu ior a youn lady to go home alone at 2 clock. ill the morning after sparking her beau.

Miss Jennie Armstrong is a young lady of Ogdeuburg, who is whistling herself to fame and possibly fortune. She has the most artistic puckerer probably of any girl known. Her gift described as simply wonderful. NMr. Henderson is afraid that Grant, if elected, will annex some of the ern States of Mexico to this country, to please the South.

We would much rather see him annex a few of the Southern States of this country to Mexico, to please the rorth. But we do not be lieve he will do either. Globe Democrat. From a careful consideration of the various dangers arising from this "leap- year privilege," I am inclined to think Mr. Meagle advice to beadle is worthy of imitation, and that whenever you see a young lady "in full rig" a scarlet petticoat coming down the street, we shall show our best discretion by turning and running away.

Ex. JOLIET, January (iih, 1880. P. Townsley, Great ISend, Kan. Dear Sir In the Island Tribune of January 3d, I see that some of your citizens are talking of prospecting for coal.

I must say that I like the idea, and hope that you will go ahead and that you will be rewarded by finding a pod vein of coal that can be mmed suc cessfully. During the time since August, Io7b, I have been acting uuder M. Solomon, of Chicago, as District Agent, and dur- that time have taken out a number of coal miners with the excursion par ties from this and neighboring counties. Those miners have been unanimous in the opinion that a bed of coal underlies a great portion of the Valley of the Ar kansas river, and it their opinion is cor rect, you cannot opeu the mines too soon. Ihe high price or coal in your section ot the State has caused a number of people to buy land in the eastern part of the State, near the coal beds.

I have beeu thinking some of trying to get up a colony from the miuing districts oi this and adjoining counties. In fact I have already been talking over hat subject with a number of miners, who would like to buy lands in the vi- cinitv of coal beds, so they could place their families on the land and work in the mines themselves during the autumn and winter and I am satisfied that if you find the coal that I can send out quite an addition to the population ot Barton county at any rate will do the best I can. With that object in view, I take more than ordinary inter est in this matter, as 1 expect at no dis tant day to move to Barton county. I think my subscription tor the Irib- une must be nearlv out send it riuht ng will see James Gibson a few mt days and expect to renew his subscription as well as my own, and send the amount Yours truly, Wrm. Kingston.

Fashion Notes. Cloaks are both lone and short, but the newest are ions, and take the pelisse, or long dolman and visile form. A small, slisrht. woman, is overweiantea bv a very large or Ions garment, and for her the close-cut dolman with the narrow back and graceful sleeve is the prettiest and most oecoming. All the new cloaks are very much trimmed some with very rich Jetted passementeries and fringe, some with fur, but all are cut so close pvThe effort to get rid of fringes seems nave maae mem more iuiiioiiuui iuu A rtlain silk frinsre.

Cashmere" trimmings are universal Cashmere is a material, and it also indicates neculiar mix of color. There are cash- novel and beautiful of all the garnitures of the season are the bead decorations in tne wonderful amber, cashmere, bronze and iri descent combinations which are used as fringes, as narsamentaries.

Sati ns brocaded in Japanese designs, are strife inirlv orixrtna.1. Scotch plaids of every conceivable color and mixture, will be used as a garniture on all wool costumes for both ladies and chil dren. The most fashionable fans are of feathers, The new short costumes are of plush, and black is the most distinguished.

Velvet is not seen much vet in cloaks, but it is much more largely employed as trim minff. and for children, than for several sea sons previous, it is by far the most durable and becomlnsr mounting foe a woolen costume, and is very much used upon seal brown and the rich bronze shades.

It is a unique way of presenting the subject, as pictures leave a more lasting impression on the mind than figures.

Barton county is represented by a very spry looking little terrier with his nose toward the east apparently waiting for a bone. The prospects now are that this portion of Kansas will have an early iuimi- gration from the Kast, and that it will exceed anything that has gone before. A few get discouraged here as elsewhere, but the future of this Valley will astonish the world. With increased popula- lion and cultivation of the soil, the climatic changes will be favorable, and within five years this Valley will be the richest and jmost prosperous of any of 1 1 i mi uie agricultural regions, ine opening of the vast mines immediately on our western border will call for every article of produce that our farmers can spare, at good prices and for cash. Our close proximity to this market makes freight light, and givs us the advantage of all other agricultural regions.

Our farmers have only to move along prudently and to do what they do well, and they are bound to succeed. There is that about leap year which makes It of interest to business men as well as to the members of the softer sex. The Albany Law Journal calls attention to the law relating to this particular sort of year. The 28th and 29th of February are regarded in law as one day, so that a note dated on the 2Sth of February, year, payable one day from date, would be due on the. 4th of March, the same as if there were but ifc days in the month.

Champion. The law referred to by the Journal is that of the State of New York. In Kansas, by express statute, the 29th of Febuary is counted a day, and a note given as above would fall due on the3d of March. Commonwealth. The extract from the Albany Law Journal has been going the rouuds of the press lately, all of them supposing the law applied to Kansas.

An editor in this town who is in the habit of editing his paper with the shears, and palming it as his own, presents this same extradt this week as an original piece ot lffal knowledft. As there is an ex press statute in Kansas contradicting his legal opinion, he will have to steal the Commonwealth's article and set himself right. Mr. Moody's Personal Explanation. Mr.

Moody said I want to speak of a personal matter. Perhaps you noticed when coming in this afternoon that there is some one at the door selling photographs, purporting to be photographs of Mr Sankey and myself. I want to say that is one of the thorns we have in the flesh. Those are no more photographs of Mr. Saukey and myself than they are of you or any one else.

I have refused to have my photograph takeu for fifteen years on purpose to prevent that annoyance, and if you have any re card for our feelings you wnl not buy one. have tried to stop it by law, and we can't do it. And now we ask you, if you have any regard for us, not to patronize them, but try to break them up in that way. And while we are about it, all these Lives and Biographies and Lectures and Sermons and Anecdotes and Stories are of the same stamp. There were twelve sermons I revised when I was in London, and a little book I published for new converts, a few pages, and they are the only books that I have ever published, i speak ot this becauw I heard of some one buying some i ooks the other day to help us on Now we have no interest in these books whatever.

In fact, I think it is time enough to publish a man's life after he is dead and gone, and then see what kind of a life he lived. I have conscientious scruples about a man's life being published while he is living. have done everything I could to suppress them and prevent their being published, and have failed to do it, and I hope there is no one among this audieuce or among my friends who will buy these publications, or if you do, don't think you are doiug it to help us. These little hymn books publish and that is all, and the royalty on them goes for religious purposes but we are not interested and we are not after -your money. If God knows our hearts, that is the last thing we think of.

We would like to get souls, though for Christ, and that is our mission here. I mention this because I am afral some men are stumbling and thinkin; mat we are just nere money, ami that we are trying to make some money A 1 out ot tnis movement. I hope I will never have to refer to it again, for I always feel like a fool when 1 bar to talk about myself. near $250,000 into the State Treasury of Kansas.
