J. H. HtaisT. 'LETTER FROM KANSAS. TOPZIA, Kangas, June 24, 183 D FRIEI D A.: We arrived here on Tuesday afternoon, after a very plea sant trip. We reached Buffalo at 12:15 midnight, after leaving Towan.: - da,—stayed balance of the night at the. "Continental-Hotel "; had an early breakfast, and- left cia Lake Shore Road at 6:30. on Thursday morning. It was our intention in the start to spend one day at Niagara Falls on our way out, but we found that to doihat, it ,would be neeeg siuy for us to stay another night at Buffa lo, or go on at night ; so we con chided to run the risk of seeing Ni agara at another time, and come-on West-by daylight. Thursday was a beautiful day, and we enjoyed the ride through t Toledo. Much of the way the Scenery' was _very fine; varied occasiona ll y by the- sight of Lake Erie; dotted with numerous sailing- vessels. :Thursday night we 'stopped at the "Island House,7 To ledo. Thhi House is nearly new, and is owned by the Railroad Company.- On Friday morning we rode around the city in a camags,going nearly the w hole length L of Summit . ;Street, where the best pnvate residences are. At 11 a.m. we left for Chieago (trtiv'- sling all the way froth Elniira in the palace cars, which added much to our Comfort). This day, me rode through SouthenicAlichigarisnd Northern In and the scenery 011 wadi of the route was 'beatitiftdlispcciidly in the vicinity of Coldwater, and from there past Elkhart. - The broad rol ling prarneslooked their best (I sup ixisie,hecause neither of us hid ever seen prairies before), and I really thought that people froin the East were not much to blame for liking this counfty, where they-conld Start in life without -_ - going through- the lreariNkent Mix?Ps NOkich them fath ers dia, of clearing , the ; : before they could commence bi As we approached Chicago the tionntrl'was not; so'interesting, being loir ,, and lliassiv, and evidentl3riunhealthy for ew-comers.

With leas red tape, better -- cooking, less attention (after turning off the gas) and more mod ' erate charges on • leaving. But per haps we. are wrong ; . you know we are young as travelers,and our views on such subjects rather;crude. ' We crossed the MissiSsippi at Quin cy on Monday morning at 7:55, and the view of the city from the-new iron bridge was magnificent.' It is built from the river right up a high bluff, and extends back! on to the prairie —contains many tine buildings, and is considered by the residents the most favored city of the West. The country for- many miles west of the Mississippi looks .new ; the hoilses (mostly of logs squared and filled in with mud) are small and not very ,frequent. The almost entire absence, of barns, or any sheds for sheltering tattle, is general. In many cases we saw the horses standing feeding un der a kind of shed made of poles and covered with straw, with no sides or 'ends. . The corn began to look bet- ter and larger as we contiuned across Missouri, although the - eastern por tion oft.he State has been dtenched with rain. We left the Harmil2al ~5: St. Joseph Road at Cameron junc tion ;!:-% branch of .the 'Road leads from here to Kansas City, 53 miles southwest. . At Caraeron , AMOS SPAT: uma lives ; also his two -sons, Hmat and CHARLEY. I did not see any of • them, but learned since I came here that they lived there. This part of Missouri is settling- up fast, and all the way from Cameron the country is looking i very fine—new towns springing u all along.. the road.- I learn that 1 nd near the Railroad, as Wye approaei , Kansas City, is selling from $3O t 0475 per acre. At 7 p.m. t on Monday, we' reached -the Missouri River opposite Kansas City, and wOre taken across the riv er on a boat. There is • nn elegant bridge just finished across the river at this point , with two iron, spans hal 'anced on a circular pier on the side .towards the city.- These spans are turned by machinery to let steam :boats through, and is quite a novel Arrangement. . We. stopped at the Pacific House over night, leaving at 8:30 the next morning for. this city. After leaving the " State line," we came some distance through's newly settled district, the ground thickly covered with native trees and shrub .bery, with an occasional clearing, the houses. of squared logs filled with tnnd, and the inevitable baby—fre quent in newly-settled countries, but ittrely seen in the East—at lemt in "respectable " families. Thirty-eight -miles from Kansas City we clime to Lawrence, which is quite a city, and seemed to-be - growing-quite fast ; but the citizens of Topeka think this city is rapidly outstripping Lawrence. The country from Lawrence here is rapidly settling up over rich agricul tural region. We saw many herds of cattle, and horses and mules, feed ing on the prairies .as we pa.ssed. • We arrived . at Topeka at 1:50 p.m. on Tnesday;having come about 1,250 miles since leaving Towanda, withcint an accident, and losing nothing but a pocket handkerchief. We crossed the Kan or Kansas River ih an om nibus, over a pontoon bridge. The Railroad Company are just com mencing a- railroad bridge at this place. • Topeka (or the most of it) is built on a fine elevation on the west side of the river, which slopes gradually to the water. There is much activity here in the Way of building ;. many houses have been built and occupied already, and many more are in pro cess of erection. -The citizens here have advanced ideas in regard to the future of the city, and farming land is selling at prices ranging from $2O to $5O per acre within ton miles of the city. My own opinion is that the present development of the coun try. will not warrant such extravagant prices. But as lam a stranger here, I do not say so - loud enough 'to at tract attention. I have, been over 'nearly all our lots, here, and find some of them 'well located and some Of them not so well. Still,,l think it a good investment, and will pay to bold. I think we shall leave 'here about the , fast of next week. We may go to Omaha—l want to do, so if I have time. lareminv.—Earn your bread, and see how sweet it Will be! ,Work and see how well you will _ be 1 .

' Of this seindchie vie have, in the book, L ed Genesis, a history of affecting situ ,plieitY and - beauty. While Abraln - fe"':l —. was a stranger and siirjsojourner at. Hebron, his wife died, and ho was oblig,ed,te seeklor.her a burial place. 'The people of the land honored him as a mighty princenmong their, and', Offered him his chqice of their sep- Ifichres. He. must hate, appreciated the kinduesit of the offer, but he-nat undlY preferred a family burial-place of ,hiaown, and; he had set his heart on a csiie, in the field of , Afriephelah, 'which-seemed fitted for the sad 'pitr poe. The field, and cave therein be longed-to .Ephion, the , Hittite. ' For sonic reason, Which does-not appear, - . Abraham did not first apply; to this nien foi. the purehase.of the cave, but he naked his , friends and his neigh-. boat to apply for him. Ephron offer- • ed fl.bralttim both the field and, the cave. as a gift. The bereaved patriatch Was unWilling thus•to receive them.- He world not be dependent so long as no necessity required it, on .the generosity of - - others, nor would he _Wiry his :beloved dead in a sepulchre that colt him nothing. "I will give the money; for'the field," he said to Ephron, "take it of nie;and I will be ry in dead there." Ephron, in rePly, named four htulerecl shek*of.silevr as the worth of the field. 'This F(11111r. Abraham paid by weight to Ephron, in the presence of the people of the laud. The contract and, payment having been publicly witnessed, the field,"„ beeeme. the property of Abrp.- ham and - his heirs. , - This is first recorded instance of a . legideonveyance of ,real estate, and it, is remarkable that it the convey ance of a burial place. All men can not be- landholders, • but every man may reasonably expect to have, some day as ranchland as may serve for'a grave. In the cave of .11acphelali Abraham limied his Wife: Thirty eight years passed away and his sons. buried him„ in the-. cave. One him dred and thirty-two years later, Jaciub dying im :Egypt, - remembered that Sainily sepulithre, and charged his sons to bury him therein. • Having described it ns"the cave that is in-the field of Macpliela,lieforelileicure,in the land ; of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the . field of Ephron the Rittite,The. added the - verds so ten derly expressive of the natural wish _to rest among one's kindred—" There they buried Abraham and Sarah wife ; there they buried Lane and his 'Rebekah his wife ;and - there I buried Leah." After these , specific direc-' tions there could be' o mistake as to the locality of the sepulchre to which Jacob's last thoughts ~and -wishes were turned, and his sons accordingly carried him into Cannel:Land laid with his fathers Abraham and Isaac. With the burial of Jacob the record of burialiiii the env° . 'ofnacphelah . closes. The cave is not now in the possesEion of its Lightfnl owners, the heira....of Abraham. Little did -flie eonored patriarch imagine when he purchased it as a burial place, that in distant agesit world lie within the walls of a mosque, while hiS 'descen dants, whose presence-in the land `should be its protectionovould be scat.- tered among the nations—"an aston ishment, a' provett) and a by-word" —because they would not listen unto the voice of. the Lord their 'God: And yet it isgratifying to.kriciw . that the tomb of the patriarch - has been protected, though by the hands of "Turks infidels and heretics." . What countless multitudes of the wise and good have passed away of whose - graves we know nothing. "Dust long outlasts tho' norledistone ; - But , `they'—`theif,Tery dust is vino." THE Burn or SrAer..--Some years ago Prof. Besse], of Germany, com menced a. series of astronmical-meits ures for getting the exact distance of the fixed. stars, a thing that litul never- been' done. The instrument he used, in connection with a Power frd telescope, in his experiments, was a sun-measurer. After three years hard labor he Was so fortunate as to obtain a parallax, but so minute that he.could hardly trust- his reputation 'vim it. But after 'repeated trials and working out ,of : the results, he tr as :fully 'sati4fied that he could give the exact distance to Cygni.- But who can` comprehend this immense stance-43,072,000,000,000- of milks'? Thisaccording , t6 Bela* is the dis tance Of-the nearest fixedatar to the sun. 'All astronomers "confirm the correctness of Prof. Bessel'i calcula tions. : But,thia distance, great, as it is; is-nothing to - be compared to the distance to the milky way. Sir Wil liana Herschel says that, the stars or suns that compose-the milky way are so very, remote that it requires light, going at., the rate* of 12,000,000 of miles a tndirxte, ' 120,000 Veers to reach the earth.
