sThlsig • a town of considerable promise.
ituated on tle Kansas Pacific railway,
where that tflotough fare crosses the Grass
hopper I:Ter, twelve miles west of Law
rence. It is on the extensive bottom land
of the Kansal, about a mile from the river
and directly opposite the ancient town of
1
.Lecomplon, of bad political fame and
early decay;'which lies on the south bank
of the river.,. The land of this valley is
extremely rich, the black, fat soil being
frohi lon - .to eight feet in thickness.
. There is"an unusual breadth of timber
land' herc,',especially in the valley of the
Grisshopper -, fuel and fencing materials
are consequently abundant and' cheap.
The bottom lands of the Kansas, which
are from two to 'form miles• - wide, - are
principally prairie: 'They - are - bounded
by bluffs of moderate elevation—in some
places, abrapt and steep, hi 'others gently'
talOping. 1 . -Where theY are abrupt a heavy
vein of ilinestone, composed of regular
layers, crops out. Above the blutisffrem
fifty to 'one hundred feet higher than the
' bottom land, there are beautiful, rich roll
ing prairies, even more desirable for --ag
.riculture in all its branches than the rich=
es lands below - . - This second "bench"
runs parallel with the valley, and is of va
riable-width. Then comes another vein of
limestone and another blufl",in some places.
broken , Into beautiful and picturesque
knolls. Above this there is a third and
still heavier vein of limestone, over which
rolling prairie stietches indefinitely. - .This
description does not apply only to this lo
cality, but to nearly all. the valley of, the
Kansas and the adjacent higher lands.
Perry is the natural mart for an eaten
. sive area of exceedingly good land. Un
til recently -this reeion belonged to the
Delaware reservation, so that it has been
but a short time in market. As the sur
rounding country improves the town will
grow. Alreadyit is an excellent market
and shipping point for the West.; for it is
a fact not generally known that the
farmers of Kansas do now and ever will
find their bestmarket in the West. 'Phis
is the last really' g,obd agricultural State
until we reach California. 'Colorado,
New - Mexico and Arizona have some agri
.
vulture, but they can never, ~be self-sus
.
Mining. - They, as well as Western -Kan
sas, are,piistoral - and mineral regions, and
must always draw their, principal sup
-plies from the rich farming lands lying
, east of Fort Harker. The town is laid
out on an extensive scale, the streets run
ming parallel with, the railroad, number
ing from one - to seven, and are perhaps a
`mile in length. There are three or four
,good stores in the place, a hotel of no
great pretensions, and shops for the usual
mechanical operations. The people are
intelligent and noted for sobriety and
.
good erder. The Presbyterians and Bap
tists are both entering upon the work of
erecting houses of worship. All this may
suggest the day of small-things; but bear
in mind that two years ago there was no
town here. N. , J. Stark, Esq., a gentle>
man than whom I have found none more
energetic and generous, is the agent of
the town company. -
, TOPEKA.
The other day I went up ,to Topeka,
the capital ot the State. It is fourteen
miles above this place. The old and
principal city lies on the south side of the
Kansas, on beautiful and gently inclining
.ground;..biit-thl - eorPoritte limits •embrace
both sides of the river. - The Pacific
Hallway runs along the north side, and
the city on the south side is reached by
crossing a floating bridge. When 1 was,
' first there, in 1866, the north side was
still in a state of nature—a little forest.
• . Now it is a rapidly-improving town,
. where much business is done. There
are some: few business houses, a large
hotel, 454:;c. But the city on the south has
.. . . more than doubled in sire, and makes
- , really a fine appearance. The State
- House, one of the most imposing I ever
- saw, built of Junction City stone, elabo
rately,
' . yet chastely ornamented, is nearly
completed. It stands on ground mode
. rately elevated, and, is visible from the'
window at which I am now sitting, four
'-: - teen miles distant. ,
The population of the city is lietween
'six and seven thousand. During the year
just closin g r , I was told that about two
: i hundred ses were erected, some of
' them very co u od. Stone is a great deal
more used than brick. Indeed I did ' not
see a single • building composed exclu
sively of brick. Many of .the stores have
• - brick fronts, but the sides and rear arc of
stone. The churches, so far as I noticed,
• were' all of stone, and the dwellings either
stone or frame. They have excellent
; building atone, to an unlimited amount in
-: - the adjacent slopes—blu& they are. not.
. ~
I was pleased with almost everything . ..l
saw at Topeka except that miserable apol
ogy for a bridge, on which two vehicles
• , cannot pass each other, and for going over
..., which the most extravagant rates of toll
. are charged—five cents fora man or
-"" `woman, tivo for a sheep, and from fifty
4 4 cents to one dollar and a quarter for
- - wagons- Vehicles have :to wait their
. ,
- turn On the banks until the bridge i Clear
, 4 of others moving in the opposite direc>
tion. The width of the river is about the
.
same as that of the Allegheny at Pitts
burgh, -, lncluding a small island ; in.the
; ventre. This nuisance will not Continue
long, as the people are taking steps to
have a good bridge erected, either free or
, --
-at moderate rates of. toll. The travel is
,-- -enorrrions. As we came over yesterday
.., -inorning in un (Minibus we met more
.' tnan twenty wagons in less than half a
a mile.
-; As nearly all of the principal towns of
•this State have colleges, so -Topeka is not
behind in this respect. - Lincoln College
was established in 1864; but recently the
name was changed to Washburn College,
, I partly bectoise other institutions have the
same name, which caused confusion, and
partly bemuse of a donation of $25,000 -
- by the Hon. Ichabod Washburn, of Wor
, • -cester ' - Massachusetts, to this College.
• Dlr. Washburn died about the time
his letter was written. It is in
: .a flourishing condition. Tuition IS
free to candidates for - the minis , ry to
Union soldiers honorably discharged,
to children of Home Missionaries of till
- . evangelical denominations.
.-: ,We had a snow storm of unusualse
, verity for this State on the sth and 6th.
`The-snow on a level lay to the depth of
- -about twelve inches. In some places the
drifYkWOO , 44 4 .A.V.V.t - and Sok-Vieltilk*
the railroad up this - valley was ^seriously
impede& Ilimrietirlia week, trains
did not run regularly beyond Topeka.
East of that there was not Innch
difficul
ty. For about a week-the weather con-f
tinned cold, and sleds were brought into
requh•ition, • after which beautiful,• mild,
bright, Springlike\ weather set it; and
now the snow has. nearly disappeared—
melted and sunk into the earth: The
streams arc but little affected. , In a day
or two more the roads Will be drk and as
good as ever. • • •

'The Coming Ship.”
The "cumin, ship," as the intended
rival of the Great Eastern is desiznated,
has at present been exhibited, in model
only, in San Francisco. It is to be of
the Same size as the, Great Eastern, ex
cept that instead of\ ttwenty-eieht feet it
will draw only eighteen feet, - and carry
proportionally les& tonnage. It is de
signed to carry four times as many pas
sengers as any present style of ship, and
to substitute for bunks regular beds; it
will also give four times the space to a
stateroom. The San Francisco Times
says: The present mode of bunking pas
sengets is unworthy of the age. Seal
sickness if preventible by construction-
Should lie rendered obsolete. - This &aid'
'datum is attained in Thomas' Silver's
coming ship; it is secured by the propor
tions of the ship; and by there being
thirty feet less of the bull out of Water
than the Great Eastetn, but the motion is
rendered.almost imperceptible by a new
device. The state-rocidis, instead of be
ing at the outside limits of the vessel, are
amidships; that is, along the centre line
of the ship, where the roll is scarcely per
ceptible: The saloon is to be five 'hun
dred feet long, and clear of obstructions.
It is not for dining, Instead of a public
table, there are t 4 . be two competing res
. taurants at the extremities adjoining the.
saloons. The ship will sell passage.only;
the board being payable as meals are or
dered. It, is, contemplated to carry second
, class passengers and ' third-class in the
same way. The present first-class bunks
I will be for third-class berths.
A Marlue Vtlocipedv.
Our enterprising velocipede proprietors,
and those gentlemen who are establishing
schools of instruction in the art, should
make a note of the fact that Captain .Du i
Buisson, commander of - Prince Na- I
poleon's yact, the Jerome Napoleon, has 1
an invention whereby he proposes to run I
a marine velocipede upon the water with
almost the same' facility that Burnham
and Hanlon run theirs upon the land.
It is composed of two parallel tubes of
cast iron, cigar shaped, connected by iron
cross pieces. In the centre is the propel
ling wheel, covered by a house or drum,
on the top of which the person using the
vessel sits comfortably in a sort of saddle,
with stirrups. By means of these stir
rups and a t hand crank upon each side, he
gives the heel its motion, precisely as it
it is given to a-velocipede on shore. The'
novel craft is easily propelled, at the rate
of six miles an hour.

A BOSTON PAYER tells this story about
sculptor Volk : ' "Shortly before Lincoln
was Inaugurated President in " 1861, an
artist proceeded to his house in Spring
field, Illinois, and with his consent took
a cast of his head and hand, for the pur-.
pcise of • securing a handsome pile by
making as many duplicates as might he
required by his: patriotic admirers.._ Mr. 1
Volk, the artist in question, was soon
after besieged by certain ladies to permit
them to exhibit and sell the 'heads and I
lands for the benefit of the Sanitary Fair.
But, when he came to New York, he dis
covered that some shrewd. Yankee had
I manufactured the articles by the hundred,
and that they were exhibited in the Broad-.
1 way stores, where they were rapidly sold
1 for four dollars each. There was a slight
1 difference between the bust Volk cast and
that of his imitator—Which saved the hat
ter train-prosecution from infringement of
1 his right—but the difference was; some:
what novel and ludicrous, for it consisted
of the. real head of :Lincoln—that is, the
bead•Volk cast—upon a bust originally
designed'for Jeff., - Davis." ' • •
TOE critic of the New York Tibias, in
noticing iTecent'Parepa concert in that
city,, remarks; "The defect in the pro
gramme was that there was a great deal
too much Rosa. and nut half enough Par
epa. meam-of course, in a musi
-threcal
sense. Ile (the Rosa) . appeared , e
times,- and the audience being hardened
iwcrime - or steeped-in supineness,permitted
him to play twice more byway of encore.
RIB the curse of a fiddle that it always, gets'
the exicore. 'lt is a Sisyphus of an isult-
meat. If Mr. Rosa were the hest.of vio
linists—which he is not—this would be
too much. In his way, he )6 pleasant
enough. He trots around his little mill
with manifest pleasure to himself; and
even amuses thosd who are looking .on.
But it is enough to give one the blues to
reflect that the nett time we'are,called
upon to attend a Parepa-Rosa concert, we
must hear Era st's 'Elegie.",
