What Robert Luckey Has to Say About i Kansas. j As promised last week we append a short sketch of Robert Luckey’s trip to Kansas. Hesays: *“lleft Ligonier with one of those Kansas excur“sions, on the 26th of February, and proceeded through to Xansas without anything worthy of note happening, outside of the ordinary incidents and rapid change of scenery incident to railroad travel. We went by the Atchison, Santa Fe & Topeka rouce, until we came to Newton, from which point we took a south-easterly direction into the Indian Territory, which I consider to be the most beautiful country for general farming purposes I ever laid eyes upon, and where splendid chances are offered the poor farmer with small means. Farms of 160 acres containing orchard, house, stable, &c., can be purchased for the small sum .of $500.. ITere 1 saw some of the finest cattle, hogs, &c., ever produced anywhere. After leaving Cottonwood excursionists are allowed to get on and off at stations at will, and, going out, the persons who have land to sell take great pains in showing you the bright side of the picture. On taking the back track I would advise persons to travel by themselves and tramp it through the country among those who bave lived there for years, and are better posted. Every person should first go and take a good look at the country before buying, as money will be saved by so doing. I found Emporia, Lynn and Chase counties contained the best railroad facilities, and some of the best farming lands. The bottom lands are the most fertile, and “will make splendid stock farms. The south and east part of the State. contain coal. : Peach trees were in bloom on the 10th of March. I consider it a mistake when:people call it a limestone country. If a man has $2OO or $3OO, he had better invest $5O in traveling through the country and thus be enabled to judge for himself, and then if any person is swindled there will de no one to blame. As for myself I do ‘not think I shall move there at present. During my stay in the State I met quite a number of persons formerly residents of Noble county,among the number being C. N, Hays and Bi. Britton, who are all doing well. Persons desirous of becoming’ great land~owners will find this just the spot, as it is here that whole sections are bought for almost a song.”

Mr. Luckey left samples of wheat, corn and some of the soil, which is composed mostly of gumbo on the uplands, at this office. He seems to like the conntry but is very cautious about expressing himself. He advises a poor man to invest his spare means in land but does not tell how he shall haveaveluen, <

SPARTA ITEMS.

. MR. £DITOR:—By permission I will drop 4 few items for your valuable sheet, and long may your BANNER wave. lealth in this vicinity is good. There has never been a better prospect for wheat in Sparta at this time of the year. :

From the appearance of things now Lafayette Winstead will work in single harness another year yet,as he hag rented his farm for that length of time. ,

‘Manias Kimmell has removed from the Spangle farm onto a farm recently purchased l)y Joseph Calbeck, adjoining Daniel lloak’s premises. e The Republican ticket in Sparta: went through all right and was all elected except the tail. It lost its tail some way in the contest, and the peopie eiected Harry Bassett, Democrat, to wag for that body, for which favor Harry says he feels' very thankful to his friends in both parties and will always remember them.

We were told that James Earnhart will not consent to let the people use his name for Representative at the next Democratic Convention. James would make a good one. Miss Mary Caskey, who was elected to teach the Broadway school,has been hired by the Trustee to teach in District No. 2. While he was making the ehange why would it not have been justice for him to have hired Miss Belle Bassett, the choice of District No. 2, to teach the Broadway school, instead of hiring a male teacher there, and..throwing a lady-out of employment this summer? {

It has been rumored in some portions of thé county that CharleyWeade had a fight with his brother on the day of the election; but we have been informed by good authorities that the rumor is false, and that Charley never intimated fight to his brother, neither did he speak disrespectfully of hLim, or any of the candidates, on either ticket. The persons who cireulated this report were mistaken in the man.

S (e B z i 3 A The custom of eating eggs at Easter has been traced up, not only to the theology of Egypt, but to the philosophy of thgj Persians, and Gauls, the Greeks and the Romans, all of whom regarded the egg as an emblem of the universe and the work of Deity.— “Easter,” says Geblin, “and NewY ear’s have been marked by similar distinetions. Among the Romans the New Year is looked upon as the renewal of ‘all things, and is noted for the triumph of the sun of nature, as Easter is with the Christians for the Sun of Justice, the Savior of the world, over death by His resurrection.” The'early Christians of Mesopotamia had the custom of dyeing and decorating .eggs at Easter. 'They were stained red in the memory of the blood of Christ at His ‘erucifixion. Thm Catholic church adopted the custom, and regarded the eggs as the emblem of the resurrection as isevinced by the benediction of Pope Paul V. about 1610, which reads thus: “Bless, O Lord! we beseech thee, this Thy creature of eggs, that it may become a wholesome sustenance to thy faithful servants, eating it in thankfulness to Thee on account of the resurrection of the Lord.” Thus the custom has come down from ages lost in antiquity.

An | Endurable Pounding. On Friday evening, Ap;'il 12th, a goodly number of the friends of the pastor and his wife assembled at the M. E. Parsonage, and after the administration of a veritable literal pounding to the preacher, proceeded to deposit upon the dining table sundry packages that were subsequently ascertained to contain a good variety of those things necessary to appease the shunger of the plysical man.
