The town or El Paso is located on the east hank
or the great Arkansas River, in the southeastern
part or Sedgwick county, Kansas. It has many
advantages, among which are its beautiful and
healthy location, situated on a high, gently slop
ing prairie, surrounded by one or the largest bod
ies or the most Tertile land in the state, which is
all taken up by actual settlers, who are energetic,
industrious and practical farmers. They are at
work in earnest, ojieningup their farms and mak
ing themselves good, comfortable and permanent
homes.
ROCK BOTTOSI.
There is a rock bottom in the river, extending
about three quarters of a mile up and down the
stream. On the east bank the rocks arc about fif
teen feet above low watermark, and on the west
bank about twelve feet below the surface of the
ground.
ISKIDGi: FACILITIES.
A good substantial bridge, two hundred ami
scventy-flvc feet long, spans the Arkansas liiver
at this place, thereby giving the runners on the
westsidcoi the river access to the town at any
stage ol water and at all seasons or the year The
bridge rests on stone abutments on cither bank,
and oa two iron piers, which stand firmly on the
bed rock in the river It is naturally the best
place on the river in this state tor a railroad bridge
across ike great Arkansas i:iver.
KAILHOADS.
Two railroads ,iarc already been surveyed to
this place; one Irom the northeast, via Eureka and
Augusta, crossing the river at this rock bottom,
the other from the city or Wichita to Arkansas
City, which proved to be almost an air line, ami a
very ruvorablc route. No doubt, both roads will
soon be completed.
WATEF. I'HIVILEGE.
There is not the li-ast doubt th-it here is the best
water privilege in the state or Kan-as. The great
Arkansas Itivcr, its source in the ItockySIoun
talns, is supplied with water in summer by the
melting snows in the mountains, by rain and its
many tributaries in winter The water is always
highest from epring until fall, yet it has never
been known to overflow its banks at this ioint.
There is an abundance orwaterdunng the whole
year to run all the machinery that can be placed
on the bank mr several miles below.
FEASI11ILITY OF A DA5t.
The feasibility of a dam across the river is not
questioned, a solid rock bottom all the wayaeross
to build (ijon, the width only two hundred und
sevent-flic feet from shore o shore, a high Lank
of clay and rock on the east side, and on the west
side a bed of tough clay covered with sand, ex
tending for some ways up the river above the rock
bottom . '1 his w ater pri ilcgc must and will short
ly be improv ed. El I'aso will be a manufacturing
town. 'I he experiments last season in raising
cotton demonstrated that this soil and climate are
.Adopted to cotton growing; then why not manu
facture it here where the corner stone and round-
ation have been naturally laid.
THE TOWN.
The town is new, the buildings are substantial,
erected for permanent business houses and homes.
It contains one dry goods store, a drug store, two
grocery stores, one Hotel, a w.igon maker ami
blacksmilh shop, one shoe store, a meat market,
two A-ed stables, n good school house, and a num
ber ordwcllings. '
SCHOOL PRIVILEGES.
There is a good schooirroraseventoniue months
each je-ar. A Sabbalh-schoul has been organized
and is now in a flourishing condition.
CHURCHES.
Two church organizations have been effected,
viz: the Methodist and United Presbyterian, each
having regular services.
JUNCTION OF STAGES.
Ity re cent arrangemi nts the Tow n Company lias
6uceeded in obtaining nt this place a junction of
the stages or the Southwestern Stage Company. A
daily stage runstrom here to Wichita, atri-vveekly
from here to Fort Sill, atri-vveekly to Welling
ton, a ilaily, via Winfleld, to Arkansas City.
TI.MI1ER.
The timber in this vicinity consists or cotton-
wood, oak, ash, hickoiy, walnut, mulberry and
elm. Cord wood is delivered in town at four dol
lars per cord.
BUSINESS OPENINGS.
There is here a good opening for business men
of all kind", mechanics orall trades ; honest, in
dustrious, temperate and energetic men are le
Kpectfully invited.
The jHilicy of the tovvn company heretofore has
been to donate lots to those who built houses on
them. Now, for the first time, thev advertise lots
for sale.
1I05IE SEEKERS.
Persons seeking homes or wishing to engage in
business or any kind, or desiring to ?ocate in
healthy, pleasant and prosporoiis new place
among a goed class or society, would do well to
pay this place a v isit before seltlin ; elsew here.

FALLEN LEAVES.
BY WILL WALLACE HARNEY.
The dying summer had pilled its blood,
Oh. the beautiful weather!
On all the oak-leaves in the wood
As we went out together.
The partridge sprang from the jclloningcorn,
Oh, the beautiful weather!
And sing the song of a bridal mom
As we went out together.
The wind came gathering up his band,
Oh, the changeful weather!
And a shadow settled on all the lands
As we went out together.
The red leaves tumbled among the rocks,
The cruel, cruel weather!
Like birds diet bleeding out of flocks,
As we went out together.
I made your bed beneath the pines,
v nere vvc had walked together;
I hid ou under the sheltering vines
From the cruel, cruel weather.
Hut the cold rain sobbing on all the Ieav os,
And the dry gras on the heather,
The silent heart that aches aud grieves,
Know it i wintry weather.
" Lippintott't for Scxemler.
"LIMBURGER,"
On a tree there sat a crow,
In his bill a chunk or cheese;
On the ground a lov, below,
Said: "Some muic ifvou please;
Yom are beautiful of wing,
And I bet that jou can .-ing,"
Cheered by the flattery, the crow
Sang, ami dropped the cheese below;
Then the cunnini" fox did freeze
To the fallen chunk of cheese.
And he calmly Iwrged it off,
And he scolle'd the song with scoff,
SIOKAL.
When they pat jou on the batk;
When thev say that you're the one;
When they say the) re on the tra k,
"And have been obliged to run;"
When their compliments denote
They are sroing lor v our vote,
You can do ju.t as you plcac,
Hut jou'd Hetter vvatcli jourchecse.
"Littlo Joo.'
Tom Wise, a great bijr. handsome
fellow, with a heart of the came order,
was standing at the corner talking to
a friend, lie held a cigar to his month
U'ltli liia toft Ii.ii.il ...! . ..:.i. l.! ..:.-!..

a quarter on de two. Ef Miss ilollie
knowed, I 'spec' she would wait an

wouldn't run no resk o dese ; but I
ain't gwine to tell her, 'cos I know she
couldn't help telliu' Mas' Tom, an' 1

tnaile me leel good a many time; I
want to make him feel good wunst.
He don't nuvvur came dis way, an'
ain't seed dat pin, or he would ha' had

Then Little Joe bestirred himselt
and, obtaining the assistance of a
irieuu, iook nis ury-gooas oox up to
Capitol Square. There he turned it
upside down, spread a newspaper over
the top, and proceeded to displav his
wares.
A pyramid of three apples stood in
one corner ; a small stack of pepper
ment candy was its vis-a-vis ; a tiny
glass of peanuts graced the third, anil
vas conlronted by a lemon that had
seen life, and was more sere than yel-
iovv. iut me crowning gioiy was the
center-piece au unhappy looking pie
with visage pale and thin phvsique,
vceiiuvv uL'uiiuiui touoe: tie stepped
back to his crutches, turned his head
from side to side as he surveyed the
effect, took up a locust branch' he had
brought with him to brush away the
lies, and, leaning against the iron' rail
ing, with calm dignity awaited com
iug events.
His glance presently fell on the fig
ure of a negro boy, who stood gazing
with longing eyes on the delicacies of
his table, aud'it was with a strange
feeling of kinship that Little Joe con
tinued to regard the new-comer, for
lie, too, had been branded by misfor
tune, lie appeared about Joe's age
and should have been taller, but his
legs' had been amputated nearly up to
tiiu kucc, anil as lie stood on the piti
ful stumps, supported by a short cane
in one hand, his head was hardly as
high as the iron railing. He had none
of Joe's brightness, but looked ragged
and dirty and hungry, and evidently
had no Mas' Tom to help the good
Lord and the birds of the air to take
care of him. Jlis skin was of a dull
One arm was bare, only the ragged re
mains of a sleeve hanging over his
shoulder, and it seemed no great mis
fortune that his legs had been shorten
ed, for he had hardly pataloons enough
to cover what he ha'd left.
He looked at the pie, aud Joe looked
, at him. Presently the latter inquired
' seriously, "Vhar yo' legs?" ,
"Cut oil",' was the answer.

Tom threw u ulancc over his shoul
der, and there itood "Little Joe," a
small nftssiuippcn negro about lifteen
ears old, with crutches under his
arms and feet all twisted out of shape,
his toes barely touching the ground a-
he hopped along. He "had on an old
straw hat with only a hint of brim.
There must Lc some law of cohesive
attraction between straw and wool,
for little Joe's cranium was lnvrc

much nearer the nape of the neck than
the crown of the head, yet held its
place like a natural excrescence or a
horrible bore. Joe had met with ver
iuvv peopie mean enougn to laugh at
him ; for, though he possessed all the
brightness and cheertulncss aud pluck
of deformed people generally, there
was a wistful look about his evi
which his want of height and his po
sition on crutches intensified (iudced,
perhaps, created.) by keeping them up
turned when talking to any one taller
than himself; and this was generally
the case, for theie were no grown peo
ple so small as Little Joe. His shirt
was torn and his pantaloons rnwil
but to gild these faded glories he wore
a swallow-tailed coat with brass but
tons, which some one had given him,
wliether Irom a senso of humor or a
sentiment of charity let the gods de
cide. "Ilusted agin, Alas' Tom I"
"What 'busted' vou this time, Joe ?"
asked .Mr. Wise.
"Lumber, Mas' Tom. I was in dc

"Wnat store?" aked Mr. Wise.
"Dat big sto' Hunt an' Manson has
jes' moved outcn. Mr. Manson eav I
may hab it for sebbctt hundred dollars

Tom laugned: "Well, Joe, I was
thinking I wouldn't go security for
anybody this week. Don't you think
on can do business on a smaller scale?"
Joe's countenance fell, and he Miller
ed visibly, but a cheering thought
..rcsently struck him, amr he exclaim-

and his swallow-tails Happing 'loin's

and said "Thanky." And thus their
friend-hip commenced.
It was verv touching and bo.intifnl
the attachment which v us formed be
tween thet-e two unfortunate crea
tures. .Neither -ould perform the la
bor or join in the sports incident to
his age, and they seemed drawn to
gether b the attraction of a common
mNcrj. Every da some little service,
pitiful in its insignificance except t)
themsclvc-, some little humble oilice
irom one to the other, some little net
of self-denial perhaps the saving of
a icv coin potatoes that had been giv
en to Kiah, or the sacrifice of a butter
ed roll that Joe had got at Mr. Wise's
every day some little thing served
to cement this friendship which give
to each a companion who did not mor
tify him ; and they became in-cpara-ble,
Joe taking Ki'ah to the little shed
wnere lie spent Ins nights, and m.ikin
shapeless feet and forlorn life, his
empty pocket and gratelul Heart. And
she agreed that it must be dreadful to
be so poor and deformed, and all that
and of course he ought to be greato
ful, but really she thought Mr. Wise
rather morbid in Ids philanthropv
when he could wear that brass moon
before live hundred people onlv to
please a little deformed npoTr,.
"Perhaps you do not understand,"
said Tom. gentlv. "tlifit T lmvr. rri..

lowed to take Mr. Marshall's partner i

and good nature lie could aliko rclv.
His sister had no time to enter into
particulars, but made the desired
change, and Mr. Wise said to Miss An
nan, "I could not sacrifice Joe, Miss
Lmily. I could not sacrifice you, so I
have sacrificed myself, aud am a vol
uiiteer iu the armv of martvrs."
hen, however, as the bridal cor
tege passed through the hall, he saw
Joe nudge a fellow-servant with his
elbow and point out the pin. He felt
repaid, though Miss Annan ims (mill
ing her head very high indeed.
The next morning Little Joe came
by the oilice : "What did do folks sav
'bout yo' bres'pin, Mas' Tom ?"
"Say? Why they did not know
what to say, Joe. Thev could not take
their eyes off me. That pin knocked
the black out of everything there.
The bridegroom couldn't'liold a candle
to me, .-aid Mr. ise; and Joe laugh
ed aloud with delight. "Did they give
you your supper?"
"Did dat, Mas' Tom; an' I tuk
liomc a snowball an' a orange to Kiah,"
said Little Joe.
Late on the evening of the same dav,
Mr. Wise was about leaving his oilice
when Little .loo's crutches sounded iu
the doorway, and Little Joe himself
appeared, sobbinj: bitterlv, tears
streaming down his lace "Oh. F.nnlv
Mas' Tom! oh Lordv !"
" hat is the matter, Joe?"
"Oh, Lordy, .Mas' Tom ! Kialfs
(tone dead!"
"Kiah! Is it possible? What was
the matter?" asked .Mr. Wise.
"Oh, Lordy! oh, Lordy!" sobbed
Little Joe. ".Me an' him "went down
to dc creek, an' was flavin' baplizin'
an' I'd done baptized Kiah, an' oh,
Lordy! Lordy ! an' Kiah was jes' go

I couldn't ketch him coz I couldn't
slan' up widout notion' to hold on to.
Oh, Lordy! I wish I nuvver had ha'
liecid o' baptiin' ! I couldn't get him
out, an' I jes' kep' on a-hollcrin', but
nobody didn't come till Kiah was done
drownded."
"1 am sorry for you, Joe; I wish I
had been there. Uut, as far as Kiah is
concerned, lie is better off than he was
before," said Mr. Wise.
".Vo, he ain't, Mas' Tom," said Joo,
stonily; "'loas'wavs, Kiah didn't
mini- so liisselt, coz el he had a-waut-ed
to die he could ha' done it long an'
merry ago. I don't b'leeve in no such
Inol-talk as dead folks bein' better off
dan dev was befo'."
Tom was silent, and Little Joe went
on with renewed tears: "I come up to
ax you to gimme a clean shirt an' a
paro' draw's to put Kiah. You need
n't gimme no socks, coz he hain't got
no leet. Oh, Lordv ! oh, Lord- !" sob
bed Little Joe, "el me an' K'iah had
jes nail leet like some folks, Kiah
wouldn't ha' been drownded!"
"lake tins up to the hou-e," said
Mr. WNc. handing him a note, "and
-Miss Mollic will give vou what you
want."
"Thanky, sir," said Joe, "I know
you ain't got no collin handy, but vou
can gimme de money an' I can git one.
I don't reckon it will take much, coz
Kiah warn't big."
Then Mr. Wise wrote a note for Ihe
unuertaKer, and directed Joe what to
do with it.
The next day was cold and dark and
misty, and the pauper', hearse that
conveyed Kiah to the gravevard was
driven so fast that poor Little Joe, the
only mourner, could hardly keep up
as he hopped along behind it on his
crutches.

me somewhere, but 1 duuno what to
say to Him. You ax Him, Mas' Tom."
Aicepokc more iccoiv, and his eves
were getting dull, but the old instinct
of servitude remained, and he added :
"Ain't you got nothin' to spread on
w.u ..o . .tuucy, so Alas' lorn won't git
his kuees dirty ?"
Immediately and revcrentlr Tom
knelt on the clay floor, aud, as nearlv
as he remembered it, repeated the
Lord's pravcr.
"Thanky, .Mas' Tom," said Little
Joe feebly. "What was dat ole mis'
used to sit ? -Oh, Lam o' God-I
come I '. The words ceased and
the eyes remained half closed, the pu
pils fixed.

Mr. Wise laughed, but he had no
premonition that Joe had entered into

was therefore unbroken when, on tho
eve of the marriage, Joe entered his
dressing-room aud presented it to him

Sam Ogilvie was a gambler by pro
fession and practice ; but among the
planters who frequented his faro bank
(and all of those of any wealth or
standing within one htind'red mile of
Selma took a turn at it when they
could) there was not one who would
entertain a question as to Sam's hon
esty. In that littlo white cottage, al
most hidden by the surrounding grove
none but the fairest of fario was dealt,
none but the fairest o.f poker was bet
on. When the chips were bought and
the cards cut, each one felt that what
fortune meant the pack to bring him,
would not be interfered with by any
manipulation of the cards.
Ilut, alas! when was humnuitv above
temptation? Adam fell, Caesar fell,
Warren fell (at Hunker Hill), and even
Needier is suspended. One dav Sam
was tempted and he . Hut let uie
give tho details.
Judj-o Humphrcv. Col. swain, old
Andrews (whose plantation was meas
ured by tho thousand acres) and Sol.
Lovettfrom St. Louis, were sitting in
Ogilvie's front parlor, phi ing a snug
little game of draw. All weie heav
betters when they had the cards ; but
just then the cards were running light,
nnd so were the bets. Sam, who caret!
very littlo for poker, had sat bv
uiucuiiii; uie game, raincr lliati going
in it. ue ueiu a uauii oi course, but
his thoughts wero rather on the lav
out in the next room than on tho cards
in his hand. Sercral times lie had
hinted at abandoning the game, but
each time the other- had insisted on
going on, so Sam had politolv stilled
Ids impatience and had politelv kept
his seal at the table.
As the clock was telliutr ten. S-iin
was called from the table, and, xcus
ing himself for the moment, left the
room. His way was through the back
parlor where la the sleepiiig-iiger.
The table with iti lay-out, the cases
piles ol checks, decks of canN, nil
were ready for thu placrs. As he
glanced carelessly over tl'mm, a sudden
thought seemed to Hash through Sam's
brain. A sardonic smile crept over his
thin cut lips, aud his long fingers pitt
ed with his mustache, as if to hide the
twichmg lips from soino unseen ob
server. Advancing to the card bo,
wncrc cards oy uiooocn pack-, In tin
bioken packaged, lay oiled tin. ho buls-
ed himself for a moment in opening
fiacks, breaking wrappers and assort
ing cards ; then, w ith an expression of
guileless innoceiicu upon his face, bill
with a "cold deck" up his sleeve, he
returned to tho pokcr-table.
Ina few minutes it was Sam's turn
to deal. His baud faltered as lie lifted
the cards; a duce spot lint tercel into
his lap, and, in picking it up, a rapid
movement of loinr. lithe fingers had ex
changed the tabic pack for the "cold
deck."
A grain of remorse seemed to touch
his heart when he came to scire the
cards.
"I can't take a hand this deal, gen
tlemen. I have got to step around to
the hotel for a moment."
The others acquiesced, and the curds
wero dealt. A good hand, one would
sav, oy tlio actions of tho pla)rr.
Theie was a thousand in the pot and
a very obstinate expression on the faces
of the pla.vers bclore the drawing be-
