KANSAS LETTER.
TOPEKA, KAN., July 14, 1870.
Editor Chronicle : Perhaps,
during the hour of leisure I have this
morning, I may note down some
things of interest to your readers,
and it is extremely suggestive to dis
course firstly of weather suggestive
of light clothing, wilted collars, ice
water and a passion for catching the
glorious southern breezes. Yesterday
was more than warm perhaps the
warmest day of the season, with occa
sional puffs of hot air, which in '00,
during the long drouth, compelled
the Kansans to retire in-doors and
close the house, as the coolest place to
be found. This hot air is a feature
though a rare one of the atmosphere,
which, as a rule, is moderated by the
refreshing breezes from the south.
This, with the cool nights, makes
life enjoyable. All that is needed in
Kansas to make sleep a refreshing
luxury, is to secure a draft through
the sleeping chamber from south to
north.
We have had two good thorough
rains this week, which will ensure

CROPS.
Where the conditions of thorough
husbandry have been complied with.
The wheat crop has been secured in
fine order, and, as a whole, will be
one of tne best ana the largest
crop Kansas ever produced. The dry
weatnenn the spring threatened sen
ously the entire crop, but opiortune
rains developed the berry wonder
fully. The straw is short, aud there
may be no such enormous yields from
exceptional fields as has been nrevi-
ously reported ; but a much larger
breadth has been sown, and the gross
amount will far surpass last year, and
be of much better quality. Upland
wheat will not, probably, average
more than fifteen bushels per acre,
but I have seen bottom lands that
will make twenty-five and some over
tntrty busnels. Oats are snort, and
will not come up to the average of
previous years. I think the average
will not exceed twenty-five bushels
the smallest crop Kansas ever made.
There was, however, a large breadth
sown, so that the supply will be abun
dant. Late rains have made the corn
crop a sure thing unless some unfore
seen plague changes the very flatter
ing prospects. I wrote to riends at
home, under date of July 14, men
tioning some fields which were higher
than I could reach on horseback.
The Haw valley, from Lawrence to
this city, is almost one solid corn
field, with very fine pospects. Pota
toes are good and abundant, the new
crop selling at one dollar per bushel.
Gardens are flourlsDtng when prop
erly cared for. The fruit crop i. e.

berries were very abundant. I can
not say whether the wild raspberries
and blackberries are plenty or not,
having no opportunity to observe.
Hay, as yet, promises only a moder
ate vield, but will be of much better
quality than last year, and will only
require mowing over a few more
acres of somebody else's land. All

THE CAPITOL.
Is as yet an unfinished building, at !
expenditure of onlv about half a '

the facade of steps leading up to the
main entrance, the accompanying col
umns, and entab'ature above. The
walls are built of Junction City mar
ble, or white maznesian limestone,
and present a very fine appearance.
The interior is finished and furnished

its deficiencies, the capitol is really
very substantial aud well appointed
building, and quite creditable to the
young State. The view of the city of

very tine from the capitol. The citv
lacks compactness, as a matter of
course, and many things look new
and crude. A vein of coal five feet
thick has recently been discovered

has about the same population as

FEARFUL FIGHT AND A HORRIBLE
DEATH.
From the Eufala (Ala.) News.
Mk. Editor: Last Saturday morn
iiiff I was the witness of such a scene
as I pray Uod I may never see again.
I beheld a combat between a young
man and a rattlesnake, in which the
former was bitten and died in ten
minutes thereafter. The particulars
of the terrible alhiir are as follows :
On Friday last a young man named
Gruynor asked me to sjiend the
night with him and go coon hunting
the next morning, to which request
I readily assented. We started out
about three o'clock, A. M., and near
day the dogs oeiied on a trail iu the
swamp of Rear creek. Just after
sunrise the deep baying of the dogs
informed us that the game had taken
a tree. We proceeded to make our
way through the bogs and tangled
brush and vines iu ihe direction of

sprang back in terror, remarking,
"tiraynor, let's leave here."
"What, S ."said he, "are you
afraid?"
" Yes," said I, " I am afraid."
" Well, S ." he coolly remarked.

He had picked up a small stick
about a yard long, and. while speak
an ing, was drawing back the bushes
from above the snake so as to get a
sight of him. He threw his foot
around over the bu lies, and tramped
them down in such a manner that
the monster was fairly exposed to
view ; but just as he did so, and
before he had time to strike, the
snake made a sudden spring at him,
and I turned away my face in horror.
The next instant Graynor exclaimed,
" I've got him, by George !"
I turned to look, and with his right
hand he was grasping the snake by
the neck, in such a manner that he
could not bite, while the monster was
gnashing his teeth most furiously,
and twisting and writhing his huge
folds around G.'s arms. All of a sud

pale, paused a moment, and then
with a little stick advanced toward
the snake. As he did so the snake
made a spring nt him, but G. struck
him with a stick and knocked him
back.
A second time the snake sprang at
him, and he again knocked him off
wltn the stlcK, but belore lie could
strike a third blow, the snake had
made another spring and inflicted
another wound in Grayor's arm.
This time Graynor again managed to
seize the monster by the n.'ck, and
dropping the stick, he drew forth his
knife with one hand, opened it with
his teeth, and then deliberately cut
on the snake s bead, lilood spurted
from the trunk, and G. still grasping
the suake, whose huge folds flapped
and writhed around birr, turned
toward me, staggered and fell. I
rushed up to him and asked him,
"What, in the name of God, can I

" Nothing," said he calmly, "I am

his features became frightfully con

bride was good for anything, (ob tie
auch was nntz ware,) and when the
ceremony was over, handed thn nsjt-
tor, instead of the expected five-tlol- I
lar note, a letter. Somewtiat to his
astonishment, and greatly to his dis
gust, the minister found enclosed a
" 'levenpenny bit" and the Infor
mation, " Horn's gut geht, komm
ich nachstc Jahr wiedcr." (Signed)
Henn. (If all goes well, I'll return
next year.) Time went on. Other
more productive weddings had con
soled the pastor, when one afternoon,
just twelve months afterward, day
for day, a wagon drove up to his door,
the driver set down a barrel of flour,
handed in a letter and departed.
The minister rolled the barrel into
the entry, took the letter to the light
and opened it. Out fell a bright S-oO
gold piece. Written in the purest
Pennsylvania German, he read:
" Leiber ffarrer ! Da tchxeke Fuch

Margaret is worth more than a 'lev

shall hear from me again next year).
Next year came to the house a barrel
of flour and a letter containing this
time a five-dollar note. The letter is
too long to transcribe, but we must
give one of Hen n's sentiments, viz.:
that if he Had found Margaret ni'cAfs-

THE NEEDLE GUN.
A writer in the Chicago Tribune
gives this description of Uie Prussian
needle gun, which will probably play
an important part in the coming bat
tles in Europe:
1. The range of the needle gun is
irom i,"j to i,j yaws
The movements of loading are i
executed with the right hand, as fol-
lows: An upward stroke with the'.
of the right band against the I
chamber knob opens the breech, the I
eart-idge is inserted Into the cavity of
barrel, a push forward and a down-
ward stroke of the chamber knob with l
right hand clo-se the breach, and
another push on the needle chamber
(with its spiral spring) completes the
loading, and the rille is ready for
"Fire." During the movement the
gun is held with the left hand at a
"ready."
3. The gun is never loaded or reload
ed while at "aim" simply because it
impossible to do so.
4. The powder is not ignited at the
rear end of tb cartridge, but next to
the ball, where the igniting matter is
placed in a kind of socket of papier
mache; and this is what gives more
power to the ball, the powder burning
Irom the front to the rear.
o. The cartridge is madeup ball in
front, ball socket with igniting mat
ter, powder. The shape of the ball
resembles the shape of a cucumber,
and is called long lead (lamj blei).
6. The recoil of the gun is only felt
when it becomes very much heated,
and the air chamber filled with Uie
refuse of powder. When clean no re
coil is felt at all.
7. In case the needle shi.uld break
bend or otherwise become useless
new one can be inserted in less than
five seconds. Each soldier carries an
extra supply of about six needles.
It is not so much the superiority of
the needle gun over other breech-loaders
which has secured and In all
probability will in the present strug
gle secure, success to the Prussian
army, as it is the thorough education
each individual soldier and his per
fect familiarity with his weapon.
The needle gun was first used in

SUMMER DAYS IN MADRID.

must, however, say a few words about
the heat of Madrid in summer. The
sun's glare is truly African : at mid
day the sky, without the smallest
speck of cloud, is the color of molten
lead. The ground has a dusty trrav
i appearance, and interspersed, as it is,
' with an abundance of mica, glitters
as if it were scattered with brilliants.
In movinz about in the day tira if von
wish to avoid the sun's burning rays,
you must follow the very scanty shade
afforded by projecting balconies and
porticoes. The pavement literally
burns, so that if you should accident
ally drop your matches or fusees they
ignite. Those who have to make
visits and do not sport kids must ap
ply their hankerchiefs to the knocker
and bellpulls, or else burn their fing
ers. Compared with the heat of
Madrid in the early part of the after
noon that thrown out by a baker's
oven is almost refreshing ; for at that
time of the day a shower of fire ap
pears to be continually falling from
the leaden dome or vault of heaven.
The ground you walk on cracks like
overbuked earthernware, while the
grassiioppers, without any grass to
hop on, grate their corslets with the
utmost vivacity. If a little air should
reach you it comes as if from a blast
furnace. When the streets are water
ed a mist rises from the ground like
that at Niagara Falls. Shops are
closed, and for a while business is at
a standstill.
The good folks of Madrid seek the
innermost and coolest chambers to
take their ttefta, and your correspon
dent, acting on the old lady's advice.
When vou go to Turkey do as the
Turkeys do," takes his tiesta also,
finding it extremely lonely to be
awake while all are wrapped in sleep.
The Manzanares, that in spring and
autumn rushes down from the Cua
darrama Mountains with the impe
tus and fury of a cataract, carrying
all before it, now winds its way
through its sandy bed in tiny rivulet
proportion and goes singing along
like a babbling brook. The madrile
nos dig pits on its margin and coax
the cooling waters into them to refresh
their parched skins.
THE EXPLOSIVE BULLET.
A Fearful Instrument of Warfare.
The last and most destructive of
the death-dealing projectiles the ex
plosive bullet, designed by Perfuiset
and executed by a French artisan in
the firearms factory of Devisme is
described iu the la."t number of the
Army and ay Journal. Exter

or whatever it may be has an ex
plosive force six times that of gun
powder. Experiments which have
been made under the patronage of
the Russian, Prussian and Austrian
governments, aud last by our own
War Department, demonstrate not
only Its effectiveness, but the singular
properties its inveutor has given to it.
"Being given the distance of the
target, its density, the quantity of
charge in the gun and the same
of the ingredients constituting the
projectile," he has established a
most exact relation, by calculation,
between the force necessary to ex
plode the projectile and in its pene
tration before subjection to this pres
sure. Thus the magazine can be so
constituted that the passage of the
bullet through a sheet of paper will
explode it, or so that the severe
impact of iron or hard wood is needed
for such a result. It is comforting to
be assured that " a ball which would
not explode in the body of a soldier
or of a horse, if not at a very lim
ited distance, would explode in the
more resisting body or an ammunt
tion wagon."

JENKINS GOES TO A PIC-NIC.
Happened, and What he Thinks
About it.
-
Maria Ann recently determined to
go to a pic-nic. ,, , ,
Maria Ann U my wife unfortu-.
nately. She had planned to go it
alone, so far as I was concerned, on
that pic-nie excursion; but when 1
heard about it, I determined to assist.
She pretended she was very K1--",;
but I don't believe she waa. "It will
do you good to get away from your
work a day, poor fellow," she said,
" and we shall ao much enjoy a cool
morning ride on the cars, and dinner
in the woods."
On the morning of that memorable
day Maria Ann got np at five o'clock.
About three minutes later she dis
turbed my slumbers, and told me to
come out to breakfast. I told her I
wasn't hungry. But it didn't make
a bit of dilierence, I had to get up.
The sun was up; I had no idea the
sun began business so early in the
morning, but there he was.
" Now" said Maria Ann, " we must
fly around, for the cars start at half
past six. Eat all the breakfast you
can, for you won't get anything more
before noon."
I could not eat anything at that
time in the morning, and it was just
as well I could not. for I had all
I could do. There' was ice to be
pounded to go around the pail of ice
cream, ana tne sandwiches to be cut,
and I thought I should never get the
legs of the chicken fixed so that I
could put the cover on the big basket.
Maria Ann flew around and piled up
groceries for me to pack, and gave
directions to the girt about taking
care of the house, and was putting on
her new dress all at once. There is a
great doal of energy in that woman '
perhat s a trifle too much.
At twenty minutes past six I stood
on the front steps with a basket on
one arm and Maria Ann's waterproof
on the other, and a pail in each hand,
and a bottle of vinegar in my coat
skirt pocket. There waa a camp
chair on me somewhere, too, but I
forget just now.
" Now," said Maria Ann, " we must
run, or we shall not catch the cars."
" Maria," said I, " that is a reasona
ble idea. How do you suppose I can
run with all this freight?"
" You must, you brute. You al
ways try to tease me. If you don't
want a scene on the streets, you will
start, too."
So I ran.
I had one comfort, at least. Maria
Ann fell down and broke her parasol.
She called me a brute again because
I laughed. Maria drove me all the
way to the depot on a brisk trot, and
we got on tha cars ; but neither of us
could get a seat, aud I could not find
any place where I could set the things
uown, so i stood mere ana held mem.
Maria," said I, in winning ac
cents, " how is this for a cool morn
ing ride?"
Said she, "You are brute, Jen
kins." Said I, ' My love, you have made
that remark before."
I kept my courage up, yet I knew
there would be an hour of wrath
when we got home. While we were
getting oat of the cars the bottle in
my pocket got broke, and conse
quently I had one boot half full of
vinegar all day. That kept me pretty
quiet, and Maria Ann ran olT with a
big-whiskered music teacher, and lost
her fan, and got her feet wet, and tore
her dress, and enjoyed herself much
after the fashion of pic-nic goers. I
thought it would never come dinner
time, and Maria called me a pig, be
cause I wanted to open our basket
before the rest of the baskets were
open.
At last dinner time came the
"nice dinner in the. woods," you
know. Over three thousand little
red ants had got into our dinner, and
they were worse to pick out than rish
bones. The ice cream bad melted,
and there was no vinegar for the cold
meat, except what was in my boot,
and of course that was of no imme
diate use. The teacher spilled a cup
of hot coffee on Maria's head, and
pulled all the frizzles out trying to
wipe off the coffee with his hand
kerchief. Then I sat on a piece of
raspberry pie, and spoiled my white
pants, and concluded I didn't want
any more. I had to stand up against
a tree the rest of the afternoon. The

compared to every-day life, but there
were so many little drawbacks that I
did not enjoy it so much as I might
have done.
