You know the wind would never
blow anywhere else as it does
across the prairies. And there it
blows al‘ the time, 365 days in a
year. It roars in your ears now
and then like the rush of many
waters; it sighs and sings and whis'-
pers through the tall, swaying
grasses; its songs is never monoto
nous; it varies alt day long, and as
it sings and whistles it breathes
into vour soul an air of perfect fiee-
dom, such as you can experience no
where else. A mountain is a pris
on compared with the prairie. The
mountain threatens you; it is not
loving and tender; it frowns upon
you with ureat gray rocks; it never
smiles; it scowls with darx ravines
and treacherous precipices; it terri
fies you with blinding fogs and
drifting mists; it swathes its stor.v
gorgon head in black clou ml and
speaks to you in syllables of thun
der. You cannot breathe in the nar
row passes, you cannot run on the
rough winding paths, you bend
your head back until your neck
aches to see a little strip of blue
sky. But the prairie—boundless,
immense, a billowy sea ot emerald,
dotted with the rank, blight color
ed flowers that play with the sing
ing, whispering, whistling winds;
the prairie that seems bounded only
by the bending sky and the stars;

It was the solid sepport of Arthur

'eated him at the Chicago conven

lot of ignorant and corrupt Afri

rebuke to the Southern.republicans,
for it is a well-known fact that he
has always opposed enfranchising
ihe negio. If elected, his first step
will be to remove every negro from
office, and fill their places with
white men. Of course, if Cleve
land is successful, he will make a
revolutionizing ^change in this re
ject. So it is seen that in either
event the political power of Cuffet

was still running, He was stand

throwing in a lock of cotton every
now and then, when his hand was
caught and he was pulled into the

was literally cut to pieces and his

Above the elbow there were sever*
