JEFFERSON,
KANSAS,
' I October 1, 1869. f ,
I have now been here about four_
months, and have seen the whole of a
Kansas summer!. For a few / days the
giermometer ranged above 90 degrees,
and one day it touched 100 degrees; but
at no time have we had what in the East
we most complain of, oppressive
sultri
ness. We have had an unusual amount
of rain, and frequent floods. In some lo-
I 1.
ealities west ands uth of us considerable
_ - damage was done, iWithiamentable loss or
life, from the sudddn rising of the streams.
Out on the plains, %far to the west of this,
tie rains have been very frequent and
'
heavy, so much so that for three
months the Kansas river was kept in
almost continual flood. Only a few days
ago, while the streams in thrt part of the
State were low and the weather dry, the
river suddenly, rose to high flood and kept
up for nearly a week. When those im
mense plains are thoroughly drenched
with water it takes a long time to drain
them off.
Take one year with another, more rain
falls in Refloat' than in Pennsylvania—
less in the fall and winter, but more in
the spring and summer. But, unlike
Indiana and Illinois, the ground does
not becOme covered over with a sheet of
water after..a heavy rain. This . is partly
owing to the undulating surface, and
partly to the sand in the soil, which
causes it to absorb water rapidly. It
takes a very . heavy rain, indeed, to cause
water to flow off a well-ploughed field.
Off the unbroken prairie it flows freely.
The effect - of this will be, that as the land
is brought under cultivation, floods will
, be less and the permanent flow of springs
t ,greater. This, in the well-settled parts
of the country,eis already observable.
As this' is a lime-stone country,—more
so than any I ever saw,—the water of
wells and springs is hard; hence cisterns
are coming into general use, not because
the water of wells is not good, for it is
excellent, but to , secure a supply of soft
water.
Chills and fevers are prevalent just now
in the valleys where the soil is excessive
ly rich and vegetation rank; but on the
higher grounds, the upland prairie, the
people are generally in the enjoyment of
very good health. Many men when they
come out here- make a great mistake.
They choose the richest land they 'can
• • find, which is generally the lowest, and
the consequence is that they and their
families lose more by ill health than they
gain by heayy s crivs. Indeed most of the
upland prairie is very rich, and better
, adapted for wheat, •fruit, potatoes NO
many other things, than the rich bottom
lands; and some of the finest fields of corn
t I have seen, this season were on these
high lands. I have noticed in my excur
sions through this country more evidences
of solid thrift on the high than on the low
lands. Since I have been here I have
been on the high prairies, breathing the
purest air I ever enjoyed, and I feel
younger, stronger and more active than
I have felt for ten years. Although set.
tlement and cultivation Will ultimately
render these low lands healthy, yet I
would,advise immigrants to choose the
high ground for the present, provided
they set a higher value upon good health
than upon monster crops of corn.
These uplands are composed of rich
sandy loam, resting upon successive
- strata of limestone. In some places sand
stone are found. The subsoil is strongly
impregnated with lime, and is of a light
chocolate color. The top soil' varies in
- color from dark chocolate to black, and is
from one to, three feet deep. In no place
that I have seen can the plow ,reach
the subsoil, but the roots of grass and
trees penetrate it deeply. If it could be
intermixed with the top soil it would be
goon.
A very large proportion of these high
prairies is composed of drift. Quartzine
boulders.. from a ton weight down to
mere pebbles, are scattered over the soil,
some lying partly above the surface and
some below. On the southeastern points
of the higher lands these boulders are
most numerous, and often intermixed
with water-worn pebbles of quartz and
other hard stone,
which have been depos
ited by mighty forces of water during the
drift period. Some of these'boulders are
very beautiful, a mixture of red, white,
green and other colors, some mottled and
some having very* pretty wavey dines.
But they are the hardest, heaviest and
most impracticable stones I ever saw.
They are of igneous origin, and have
been drifted from the Rocky Mountains
far:to the north.
It is to these drifts that this State owes
its matchless adaptability to fruit growing.
In Illinois there, are some'drifts at long
intervals, and it is there that we find the
finest and most.productive orchards. The
high grounds of Kansas . are nearly all
drift; and hence its beauty and fruitful
ness. Moreover, the atmosphere here is
purer than it is in any part of the country
east of the Mississippi. Hence fruit trees
not only grow with great vigor, but the
fruit "lair." I not seen a scabby
peach in this 'State., -
You have seen the announcement that
Kansas took the gold medal, the highest
piize, at the late biennial meeting of the
American Pornological Society a Phila
delphia for the best collection of fruit on
exhibition on that occasion r where more
than twenty States were represented. In
a , letter from O. B. Miles, Eeq., one of
the delegates from this State, we hafe an
excellent report of that interesting affair.
Allow me to quote a paragraph:
"From the opening of the Fair onii r ed- •
nesday morning, the hell was. greatly
crowded with' admiring and deeply inter
ested visitors and theansaa. tables were
the centre' of .K attraction, botii'on account
of the-greatly superior character of the
fruits and the artistic manner in which
they were displayed. All the delegation
devaed ranch. of their time et the tables,
protpting the fruit from being handled,
and answering the manyinquiries that
were made. The old Quaker gentlemen
and ladies seemed deeply interested. in
our exhibition. 'They. .would ask us.
'Did all these fruits= grow in Kansas ?'
and Did thee come from Kansas with
them ?' Sow could thee bring them so'
far in such good - oeder?'"• - and • Did!st thee
know good old John B:ovvu in Esasasfq
&c. Everybody, without any exception,
who made any remarks while surveying
the . fruit, pronounced it, decidedly the
finest on exhibition,: as it most certainly
was. The visitortiwere mostly , from the
better classes of society, intilligent and
wealthy, and a large number of them
were fruit growers, and in commenting
on the display, would remark. 'This ex
hibition of such splendid fruit will be a
great thing for your young state;' It
will be worth millions of dollars to you;'
' It will bring crowds of people to locate
among you,' .&c. And in moving about
in the crowds we could hear peragns in
quiring of others, • Have you seen the
Kansas fruits?' - And in the street. cars
and at the hotols no allusion was made to
the fair without referring to the Kansas
exhibition. The sensation was decided 1
and universal." •
The writer subsequentlyremarks: "By
the unanimous action of the Society's Ex•
ecutive Board, the Kansas State lif.irticul
tural Society was awarded by the Horti.
cultural Society of the great State of
Pennsylvania their Gan 3lnber, for a
superior collection of fruits, which is the
highest award they could make, and was
not made to any other collection. The
fruits sent in by the old State of New Jer
sey, where there are thousands of profes
sional fruit s growers, only received a Sui,
'YEA 3lsioitL; while the farriers of Kan
sag; a State notyet sixteen years old, and
nearly 2,000 miles, distant, carry off the
first prize."
In a series of letters to the GAUTTE
written more than two peening°, I spoke
I of, Kansas as likely to become, the
best fruit and grape ;crowing State this
side of California - , but I hardly expected
then that it would so soon be able to enter
the lists successfully against all the other
States. I saw that it, was ' admirably
adapted to that business, and ,eipressed
my convictions. Some thought me a
little enthusiastic, but after reading the
foregoing they will perhaps . be satisfied
that I spoke soberly enough. The day
is not distant when the • fruit, grapes and
wine of this State 'will be of great cbm
mercied value. Fruits, large and small,
can be grown here more . cheaply and of
better quality than in ,any' other Part of
the Union which drains Into the Atlantic.
Fresh, dried and canned; they can be sent
eastward and command the highest prices
on account of their superior quality; and
when the railroad 'to Denver is finished—
which' will - be in a yea or two—large
quantitifs will be seriV westward. No
large fruit can be success ully cultivated
west of Fort Harker; itfe ows, therefore,
that the supply of all - tha menu region
will devolve upon the tern half of
Kansas. '
Except o of the United
States produces California,ach ' as this. I
speak both as regards " • ity, abundant
bearing, and exemptionil m plight. The
riferi
people here are be n Ananufactare
wine; and as milli() • w vines are
set every year, the bu s list increase
with great .rapidity. ut so long as
gV It
grapes can be sold in the cities for ten
cents per ponnd and upwards, the profit
of growing them and disposing of them in
that shape is quite satisfactory. -But the
business is yet quite new, and this day
there are probably ten 'vines not yet come
into bearing for one which has. •
I might speak of the corn crop of the
present year, which- exceeds anything
before known in this State both for
breadth and heaviness of crop. Farmers
are afraid that there is so much of it that
the price will be very low. But as the
crop in other States is a Short one, I have
no tears of the kind. The trouble here
is, that as many of the farmers are too
poor to hold on :o it, they will fall a prey
to speculators.
The crop of potatoes is enormous, and ,
the size and quality the yeti. best. Sweet
potatoes grow finely, and are fully equal
to those of New Jersey in quality, I think
the high prairies suit them best.
I might say many other, things of this
singularly beautiful and productive coon
try, but this letter is already longer than
I intended to make it. J. C.
_ -----......-.....i.
WHIT IS A Puticu ?—The following
piquant reply to the foregoing question
savors more of science than it does of total
abstinence, -bat somewhat lees of faience
than of carnal appreciation :
Experience has proved that the juice
of three or, four lemons and three-guar
tors of a pound of loaf sugar dissolved in
three pints of boiling water, give sapor
ons which strike the palate at such
intervals that the thrilling acidity of the
lemon juice, and the cloying sweetness
of the sugar are no longer distinguisha
ble. We have, in fact, a harmony of
asporific notes. The pitch, however, is
too low, and to highten it, we infuse in
the boiling water the fragrant yellow rind
of one lemon. Here we might pause if
the soul of man craved no higher result
than lenionade. Bat to attain the culmi
mating saporosity of punch, we must dash
into the bowl at least , a pint of rum,
and nearly the Same volume of brandy.
The molecules of alcohol, sugar and citric
acid collide, an entirely new series of vi
brations are produced—tremors to which
the dullest palate is attuned. In punch,
then, we have rythm within rythm, and
all that philosophy can do is to take kindly
tails subtle harmonies. It will depend
in some measure upon pfevions habits,
whether the punch, when mixed, will be
taken in excess or in moderation. It may
become a dangerous ally, and bring a
sentient being to the gutter. But, on the
other baud, it may become the potent in
ward stimulus of a noble outward life."
THE CHIME OF THE DAT IS opium eat
ing. Not that men and women chew
opium gum as did Charles Lamb. ' But
opium distilled and, concentrated into a
thousand forths. Itsmost common garb
Is laudanum. It appears to the amount
of a grain in eyery bottle of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. It fs in Mrs. Winslow's Sooth
ing Syrup. Half the quack medicines
have it. It was that which gave the
"King of Pain" success. Neatly all the
pain antidotes are, adrchargad with it.
All the cough lozenges have more or less
of it. It is the medicine and curse of the
day.
But not only those who take opium in
'some of the medicines that are vended
from the , druggists, are becoming more
common, but those who take it in its clear
form, purely as a stimulant. ,:It Is a ,fear.
frilly common practice with' those' who
are accustomed to'late hours, with ladies
as well as - gentlemen. This is the testi.
mony of the druggists, ••who aboie all
others= ought to know. They declare
that the sale of opium has increased enor
taiously of late. The Sensations produced
by it are sd deliclotte,lhat when once lex:
perienced, few can resist their, enchant
ment. Alas; how sdon the enthralment
is over, and the victim awakes to inisery
and agony. There is niS agony like that
of the opium eater. Hfs way is straight
down to ruin and death.— BC; Pau/ Dal

Sr. Lours, Oct. 6, 1869.
Anyone who writes from or about St.
Louis this week,mast needs write about the
Fair, which absorbs universal attention;
and yet, es I think of it, the subject natu
rally tivides itself -into two chapters, of
whiCh only the first would relate to the
great St. Louis Annual Fair, now going
on. This is big event of the year in
these parts, and is big.both relatively as
compared with othere of its class, and
abiolutelY. Everyliody in the Missis
sippi Valley from St. Paul to New Or
leans, who has a new fangled gimcrack
from a mouse trap to a mowing machine,
or whose wife has got up a set of stu
pendously embroidered baby•linen or a
bottle of currant wine, is an exhibitor
here, and brings all his ;fiends with him.
Crowkls? yes I should think so. Miss.
Anthony's theory of opposition to double
beds wasn't calculated for this latitude in
fair week. Every house is a hotel, every
vehicle is a public hack—good thing, no
license required to carry - passengers to
the fair ground dig week.
One fair of this kind is so much like
another, differing tio far as I can see only
in bigness, and in comparative difficulty
in seeing anything; that I waste few
words on- this. Perhaps as a veracious '
and responsible correspondent I should
go out there and take notes. I hear there
are some fine hogs there, but I can't con
fess to any sympathy with the porcine
race. On the whole, lam gratifying my
self and solacing my conibience by re
ligiously staying away, but if any of the
dear readeis of the Gazuvr. want to
know anything about it, ..I'll 'send them
one of our dailies, that are crammed with
it.
Staying away, however, does not re
lieve one from all the‘annoyances of this
carnival of the agriculturists: No engi
neering can saveyou from being jostled
every ten yards by ladies and gentlemen
from the rural districts, to whom three
persens are a crowd and ten a multitude,
and who are innocent of all the
or the sidewalk. You tarn from habit
to the right, and plump you go 'against
some buxom damsel; you dchige to the
left, to find your ribs fractured by the
elbows of some stout farmer—you apolo
gize and shoot straight forward to be
. brought up by a group of six who have
not met since they left their native hamlet,
and have chosen the middle of the side
walk to compare experiences. They tread
on your coins in admirable unconscious.
ness, they get your . favorite seat at the
dinner table spite of the tactics of the
Prince of stewards at the Planter's, who
looks so much like Gen. McClellan that
some - people have supposed that distin
guished officer had found this the most
suitable field for his military genius to
operate in.
They are everywhere, and goodness
knows where they Stay nights. The fair
is a delight to them, and a visit to it,
doubtless to many, an event long to be
remembered! but to he—peace, perturbed
spirit ! hain't you got a pass in your
pocket? thanks to the handsome general
ticket agent of the Terre Haute line; and
isn't- your berth engaged, and don't you
mean to fly_ to night from all these sources
of distress—to leave the world, so to
speak, and go to Cincinnati I Ala, yea.!
and therefore let us have peace !
But the other chapter, of whi the
theme must be the fair—sex, how shall I
begin it? With "woman as she is." and
using for illustration the Worrell Sisters,
of whom it may be said one sees a good
deal on very shOrt acquaintance, or
"woman as she should be," with Susan
B. Anthony for a', pattern as she now
holds forth at the great Female Suffrage
Conveution; or woman as she emphat
ically shoqldn' t be,, with an instance of An
onymas, whose team of spanking blacks,
occasionally get an airing on our princi
pal thoroughfares. !No lack for material,
you see; only for time to do justice to the
whole f it. !
To-night the convention sits with open
doors, men invited. I If you go there, you
will see Mrs. Julia Ward Howe rend an
essay'whieh fifty people nearest the plat
form will hear. You will hear Mrs. Liv
ermore, of Chicago, speak well, and you
will see Dr. Mary Walker squelched if she
tries to put in. The Doctor wears pan
taloons literally, and he wearers of meta
phorical pantaloons s orn and disown her
accordingly: By the, way, the anatomy
of public characters is public property, I
believe. Far be it from the to commit the
. .
- -
virtuous types of the GAZETTE to
an indelicacy, but as a matter
of interesting information may be
permitted to introduce this diagram,
( ) •
which I have high authority for saying
represents the construction of Miss
Walker's neher extensions ! Such is
her heroism, however, that she scorns to
disguise this fact by assuming the ordinary
attire of the female of America.
I may remark else of another distin-
guished female, Miss Anthony, that I came
down town in a street car with her the
other night. I observed numerous gen
tlemen suspending themselves by straps.
but did not observe that she offered her
seat to any of them. You see the ladies
are having it their own way here now-a
days.
The South Pacific i -
pleted its extension to Lebanon, fifty
miles this side of Spr ngfield, which town
they will reach in the spring, and open
communication with one of the finest
agricultural regions in the West.
The Pacific Railroad (of Mo.) has lost
Col: Mo'ore, its Superintendent. I believe
was regarded las efficient, but
was unpopular with the employes. At
'his appointment a year ago, a strike oc
'curred among the engineers, which gave
great trouble. The new Superintentient
Mr. Hale, was lately connected with the
Chicago and Alton Railroad. Mr. Gar
rison, the PreslEent of the Pacific is a
host in himself. :Re knows how to run a
Railroad has com
road, and wants no Superintendent to
teach him.. Au repair.
KITTY MeorziN,
LETTERS have, been received from
Georgia saying that there is a good pros
pect of a reunion of the Republican party
in that State, and a compromise between .
the Republicans and the Democrats,
result of which will be the adoption o
the Fifteenth- Amendment by the State
Legialattire at its next Meeting. Already
some of the most prominent men of the
contending parties have held a consulta

Arid position in the Union.
