A GERMAN LEGEND.

“ Go seaward, son, and bear a light!"
Up spoke the sailor’s wife;
“ Thy lather sails this stormy night
‘ In peril of his life! -
“ His ship that sailed to foreign lands,
This hour may heave in sight; '
0 should it wreck upon the sands!—
Go on. son, and bear a light 1”
He lights a torch and seaward goes,
Naught boots the deed. I doubt;
The rain it ruins; the wind it blows ;
And soon the light goes out.
The boy. comes back; “ 0, mother, dear!
Bld‘me not go again;
'No torch can live, ’tls‘very clear,
Before the wind and rain !”
“No sailor's blood‘bast thou. I trow,
" To rear a stormy night; '
' - Let rains descend; let tempests blow l—— V
v , Go, son, and'bear a llgllii?’
Once more he lights the torch, and goes
- TOward the foaming main;
The rain it'rsins; the wind it blows;
Out goes the torch again!
The boy eo‘mes back: “ 0, mother, dear!
Thestorm puts out the light; '
The night is drear, and much I fear
The woman dressed in white!"
' ‘ No sailor’s blood, but thou I trow,
To tremble thus before
A mermaid's lace—takebeart of grace,
And seek again the shore l"
The boy comes-back: "‘ 0,.mother, dear!
Go thouunto the strand;
My father’s voice I sure did hear ‘
In tones ofsteru command!”
And now the mother lights the torch;
. And. see'l the kindling rays

THE IRON HORSE IN" INDIAN
' TERRITORY.
Magical Crowd: of Cities and tow'ns.
Correspondence offhc St. Louis Republican.
JUNCTION Crrx, Kansas, May 23, 1871.
One oftbe most important system of rail-
roads ncw in'tbe . rocess of construction in
the West is the issouri, Kansas and Texas
railroad, It is what its name indicates, a.
system of roads. one that'will in a few years
accomplish miracles in the growth, prog-
ress-and development of these great Slates.
The plans of the company have already
been sufficiently unfolded to show that their
scheme is 11‘ grand one in conception, and.
when full executed,will make the system
of roads evised by them one of the most
important in the western country. Ten mil-
lions of money have already been expended
in construction and equipment, and upward
of 400 miles of road are in actual operation.
The Indian territory has been penetrated,
and thestales of Missouri and Kansas uni-
ted in the closest of commercial and railroad
tics. A diagram‘of the route may be repre-
sented by the letter Y, the left prong being
the Neosbo division in Kansas, the right the
Sedalia division. mostly in Missouri, uniting
at the new railroad town of Parsonsdtud pro-
ceeding lhencedirect through the Indian ter-
ritory and Texas to Galveston and Comer-
go, on the Rio Grande.
There can be no pleasunter trip conceived
lhun a tour over ihe co'iupleied road of the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas road, over the
“grand swelling rairies of Western Missouri
and Southern ansas, into the Indian terri-
tory. The season is most favorable for such
a trip. The prairies are clothed with fresh-
ness and verdure, presenting an ever-chang-
ing panorama Cf- blooming flowers, which
“Not nice Art, in curious knots and beds had wove
But Nrture’sboon pours forth on bill and dale and
lain.” , .
The growing orchards. and fine fields 01
eat and corn, ibc new beds of coal opened
a d the splendid young cities and towns
that are being built along the line of the
road, indicate the possibilities of the country
for (production and the future business of the

ARRIVE AT s'EDALIA.
The Special tl'ain,‘composed of two splen-
did palace cars. eommissary, baggage and

A casual inspection was made here of the

The New York genilemer’were delighted
with Sedalia and its pleasant surroundings,
but as the train was ready to start for Fort

rive at
FORT SCOTT,
Which is too well known to need a descrip-
tion. It lies on the Marmaion river, and has
about 6,000 inhabitants. It was established
as a military post in 1646, and was laid out
in 1857 use cily b Governor George A.
Crawford and Col. VVilson. the old suller of
the post. Both these gentlemen met the par-
ty at the Wilder house, kept by Pal-mules
and Dimon, where a collation was in wait-
ing. The city, which in the irregular char-
acter of its public square and crooked streets
shows its former military character, has
been built up with lumber brOugbt from
Kansas City. Two railroads cross here, the
M. K. and T , which we came down on, and
the Missouri River. Fort Scott and Gulf road
from Kansas City to Baxter Springs, Among
the prominent citizens here are Benjamin
McDonald, president First National bank;
Dr..Hepler, former director of the Tebo and
N eosbo railroad; Gen. Charles Blair, Chas.
L. Drake and Judge B. J. Waters, late of
New Mexico, and late of Ray county, Mis-
souri.
. THE JOY PURCHASE.
Leaving Fort Scott we pass through Craw-
ford county, crossing the fine strip of pra-
rie lauds known as the “N euiral lands,” or
the “Joy Purchase.” is strip contains -
snme 80,000 acres and l s history may be
briefly stated. :_It was sold by Secretary
Harlan of the interior department for $1 per
acre to the Connecticut Emigration society,
and the sale was set aside because llie treaty
required the payment of cash down. Sec-
reta Browning then sold the lands to Mr.
Joy or $80,000, but the'squailers two up in’
arms, they claiming that the Indians having
abandoned the lands they reverted back to
the United States, and as they had preeemp-
ted the lands they disputed Joy’s title.
Tlfey organized in a league and resisted lhe
locating of the Missouri River and Fort
Scoil road by boibering the engineer and
burning. the tents of the surveying party.
At ' length government interfered, and so]-
dlers were quartered on the territory to put
down the rebellion. The matter is still in

' osAGE MISSION. _
This is a town of 1,200 inhabitants, situa-
ted in the midst ofa thickly settled po uln-
iiou. It is an old trading post of the sage
Indians, and a Catholic missron has been
established there for thirty years. -
The Mission house is a large stone edifice
seen from along the railroad, and the inst-i-
lulion is presided over by Father Carpenter.
PARSONS CITY.
Striking the beautiful Ncosho valley, we
next arrive at Parsons, quite a large town of
magical » growth. The city dates its early
history only about eight weeks, when the
first house was erected, and it will almost
excite the credulity of the reader to mention
there are already completed and in the pro-
cess of erection three hundred buildings,
which are camped about on the almost un-
disturbed grass of the prairie like the tents
of a. regiment. In fact the avenues and the
great public square are still paved with the
original green award and prairie flowers,
ueediutr no sprinkling cart to lay the dust.
The allowing facts were given by Mr. W.

The business houses are two hardware

The city lent the Junction of the Sédaiia‘

the Southwestern Stage-Company, starting

Twelve miles further on is Cliciopa. an
Indian town, three years old and containing
2,300 inhabitants. It boasts of six churches,
large steam flouriug mill. sash and blind fac-

for the Indian nation. The town is two miles
from the Chv-rokee country, the intervening
strip being Cherokee lands lapping into

Our next halt was at the termination of

from Cheiopa, in the Cherokee nation. The
country is geully rolling, with a rim of low-
ridges well iimbered, and the virgin prairies
were teeming with flowers. Three wet-ks

TIIE QUESTION OF WHITE 0R INDIAN OCCUPA-

in the same communily would result in the
white man soon owning everything, ihe In.

‘cast in the country which was once all his
own—his borne.” The Cherokees wished to
build and own the railroads crossing their
own lends, meeting and connecting with
such roads as approach their border. They
say, “that to have the roads contemplated

passed 400 miles over this new road, all high-
ly pleased with the lrip, the country and the
cars. “Much of our comfort was due to the
attention of Frank W. Hilton of Chicago,
who had charge ofthe special train. ~
HISTORY OF THE ROAD.
A road originated some years ago by the
late Senator. with no Ob'eclive int. had a
name on paper as the eosbo alley road.
Agrant of 1,300,000 acres of land was ob-
iamedmnd county bonds amounting loneur-
ly a bullion of doll? wcre voted, but not
much was realized om is source, owing
io'iI‘.e‘_ bad faith on the p t of some of the
counties. From this small beglning has
grown the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail-
way company, who within two years have
billli over 400 miles of truck, have expended
ton millions in money, have graded over one
hundred miles into the Indian territory, and
by llie {ith of J uiy will have the track laid to
Fort Gibson, and in eighteen months will be
at the Red river,cn the northern boundary of
Texas, and in two years Will have 800 miles
of road in operation; .
THE MINERAL RESOURCES—COAL.
From Proi. Wilber, who accompanied us,
I obtained some scientific account of the
mineral resources as developed on the line of
lhc road. The route lies wholly in coal
measures, excepting the first twenty miles
south of Sedallu. which belonas to the sub
carboniferous rocks. - At Windsor is found
a limited coal field, containing an excellent
vein of bituminous cos]. of three and it half
feet average thickness. It is worked at a
distance of one and a half miles from the sta-
tiou. Over a considerable space of this coal
sgion there are two veins of nearly equal
thickness. A third outcrop, or seam. has
been recently found,which will doubtless
prove lobe the upper vein, making threc'
veins of coal at this locality. It is, however
only two feet in thickness, and is excellent
smith coal. At Calhoun, thirty miles from
Sedaliu, this sirutum of coal is thirty-two
inches in thickness, but covers a- large area.
Near Schell City, at the Osage crossing, a
coal slratumis reported. having three and a
half to four and a half feet thickness.
In
the vicinity of Nevada City it is found in
the higher lands, and does not exceed three
feetin thickness. In the vicinity of Fort
Scott it is worked extensively and shipped
in various points north and northwest.

Near Oswcgo ,aud Chetopa, Kansas, coal is
also worked by “stripping,” and affords an
ample supply for the railroad and surround-
ing country. At intervals coal basins occur,
feet in thicknesss. These are generally near
the surface. and are mined both by drill and
shells at a trifling cost. It' is sold ’at the
slaiious at 10 to 12%ceuis per bushel. The
supply for the counlry is unlimited, which
adds greatly to the value of real estate. The
points where coal is most exit-naively mined
on the Missouri,Kansas and Texas railroad,
are Windsor, Calhoun, Walker’s, Skidmore,
Nevada City, Fort Scott, Oswego and Che-
lopa. It hostelso been discovered and mined
on Russell creek, in the Indian territory,
and also on the Big Cabin creek, 38 miles
south of Chetopa. The supply of coal is suf-

use or manufactures. No thorough explo-

there are from 7,000 to 10,000 bales of col-

. TRACKLAYING. .
An hour was spent by the party in wit-
nessing the process of,track laying at the
terminus of the line—now 39 mil:s from
Fort Gibson.
About seven miles of track are laid per
week. The number of ties are 2,700 per mile.
The lies being in place, the rails are put
down and spiked for slxorbdisiances at the
ordinary gait of a stout man’s walk. The
truck laying force employs 190 men. We
were told that on 95 per cent. of the entire
line south from, Chetopa lo the Canadian
river, there was no curve shorter than one
degree, and as to the smoothness of the track,
solidity of the road bed, safety of the bridges,
we had ample testimony on our trip.
THE RETURN-TRIP.
Returning -lo Parsons. the excursiouists
then rode over the Junclion City division,
lbrodgb a charming country, sprinkled with
young towns of which brief mention only

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.
The initial point of the Missouri, Kansas
and Taxes railroad in Missouri is Sedalia.
situated in the midst of the great system of
rolling prairies which continuewithout inter-
ruption along the entire line of the road,uot
only through Missouri and Kansas, but also
in the Indian territory. In this class of pre-
rie lands the drainage is perfect, every acre
being some portion of a slope, securing
freedom from overflow andrxcessive moist-
ure and rendering each quarter section a.
perfect farm. The soil is'evcry where a rich
black loam from twelve to thirty-six inches
in thickness, resting upon astratum of clay,
now and then relieved by an outcrop of
rock from which issue springs. It is dilfi~
cult to find .a section of land which is not
thus furnished with a permanent supply of
stock water. The deep soil of these prairies
has already attracted a large immigration.
The lands of western Missouri are now be-
ing preferred on account of all these facili-
ties. ‘ The rise of every quarter section with-
in ten miles of the road may be safely esti-
mated at 9500 her year. Many persons have
purchased large iractséfrom 400 to 1,200
acres—for purposes of stock-raising.

The following amusing story is told of
Wierlz, the celebrated German artist:
After having finished a portrait of the old
aristocratic Countess de—. who pretended
to be only thirty when nearly sixty. she re-
fused to uccept'lbe painting, saying that it
did not lock anything like herself, andslhat‘
her most intimate friends would not recog-
nize a single feature of heron that piece of
canvas. Wiertz smiled kindly at the remark,
and, as a true knight ofold, g‘aflumly recon-
ducted the lady to her curring . Next mor-
ning there was a grand disturbance in lheRue
dc lil. Madeline. A big crowd was gathered
before a window, and the following words
were whispered from ear to ear: “Is the
Countess tic—really in jail for her debts l”
Wiertz bad exercised at little vengeance
toward his noble but unfair customer. 9
soon as she had refused the portrait be set,
to work and painted a‘ few iron bars on the.
picture, with these words : “In jail for debt," 3
He exhibited the painting in ujeweller's win:
(low, in the principal street of Brussels, and
the effect was instantaneous. A few hours
afier the Countess was back in Wiertz’s
studio, pouring invectives on him at high
pressure—lo have exhibited her likeness un-

was taken away, the oily laughed, the artist
charged double price, and gave the amount
