A Bad Report from Kansas.
According to a letter from Frank Wil
keson in the New YorkSim, 10,000 peo
ple in Western Kansas are now starving
owing to the failure of their crops on
railroad land sold to them as fertile, but
in fact barren wastes on which no crops
can be grown, the-epresentatlons of the
railroads to the contrary notwithstand
ing. Copper Ore Near Waynesboro.
The Wayesboro E6eord of last week
says : On Saturday last our attention
was called to a quart copper specimen
taken from the shaft on the copper farm
of D. B. Russell, Esq., on the South
Mountain, laBt week at a depth of forty
six feet, which for richness surpasses
anything in that line we have yet seen.
The fissure vein in width in this shaft
is nine feet from wall to wall, and we
are told the per centage of copper in
creases gradually as they descend with
the shaft. This completely explodes the
theory of one who claimed to be an
expert on the ore question, and who
gave it as his opinion that the ore found
in that region was washed there and
therefore confined to the surface, fend in
such quantities as would not justify
mining.
How It was Done.
Some persons will remember the at
tempt to levy blackmail on Rev. Dr.
Beckly, and it was ingeniously circum
vented through the skill of a well
known expert, A. W. Mead, Esq. The
blackmailing letter was submitted to
Mr. Mead, and after a careful study of
it, he announced that it was written by
a lady with a gloved hand, possibly for
the purpose of better effecting a disguise.
The suspected lady was introduced in
court, and caused to write copies of s
portion of the letter, first without and
then with a gloved hand. It became
manifest that she was the writer of the
letter, and she afterward admitted it,
and that she had written it with a glove
on, not to facilitate disguise, but because
she bad a glove on and was in too much
haste to take it off.
Frizzes" and " Bangs."
It may interest some young girls to
know that a bishop in an Eastern State,
while confirming, refused to lay his
hand on any " frizzed" or 44 banged"
heads, and that 44 frizzes" and 44 bangs"
were forbidden in his diocese. An ex
change, commenting on this action,
says :. This is a move in the right direc
tion. It was about time something was
done towards rescuing our young girls
from the frightful demon of 44 bangs"
and 44 frizzes." When a maiden ac
quires a taste for this soul-destroying
fashion her head first appears with a
couple of modest little curlicues fondly
clinging to her temple ; but pretty soon
her downward career becomes more
marked. The blood is poisoned, the
whole system permeated with a vitiated
taste for bangs and frizzes, and she bold
ly promenades the streets with her fore
head garnished with the corrupting
bangs from one ear to the other, and
reaching down to her eyebrows ! And
If this terrible passion Is not checked in
its first stages, before it seizes hold of the
girl with such a vise-like grip that she
cannot shake it off, the victim is carried
to a "banged" and 44 frizzed" grave with
all her perfections upon her forehead,
and her parentB are plunged in a sorrow
that will not be comforted. Girls, look
not upon the bang when it curleth over
the brow like a viper I Shun the first
friz as you would a hoppergragg at a pic
nic 1 for at last It stlngeth like a steel
blue wasp and keopeth the sensible man
afar off. Mother, where Is your daugh
ter to-night Is she in her chamber
preparing the baneful quince seed juice
with which to fresco her fair forehead
with the demoralizing bangs in the
morning V Speak to her plead with
her apply the slipper where it will do
the most good before it is everlastingly
too late 1
A Terrible Domestic Tragedy.

from Qulucy, Illinois, says about 5
o'clock last evening a young man named

KfAccording to the New York papers
Dr. Tanner does not find his notoriety
as a starvatlonist very profitable. The
receipts from his second lecture were
but $2.75. There were only twenty-two
people in the hall at 25 cents a head,
and half these were dead-heads. The

and how to get it, than how to starve.

near that Institution, on Saturday last,
one of them dropped her pocket book
containing twenty-five dollars. They
saw a man pick it up and walk on down
the pike. They informed the Lady

man had taken. He was overtaken but

of one dollar. This was given him, and
the young lady was glad to part with It
for the sake of twentyfour.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasuwqion, D. C, October 0, 1880.
The Washington friends of General Grant,
and they are many, are ail glad that he has so
promptly taken occasion to correct the errone
ous statements of some one who attempted to
convey his Ideas of General Hancock as a
soldier and gentleman. General Grant was
always fair in his treatment of officers, and,
though now out of the arm;, does not, of
course, wish to be otherwise than fair. The
General denies saying anything which could
be construed as sbowlog that Hancock allowed
Presidential aspirations to Interfere with the
discharge of his duties as an officer.
The opening day of the National Fair, la
