The Kansas Difficulties. There is war in Kansas. Owing to a multi plicity of treaties and the decisions of a half dozen or more of commissions sent to investigate titles and settle claims in the- Cerokec neutral lands in Southern Kansas, the real ownership ot the pro- erty has become hopelessly involved. One Joy, the agent of a railuoad corpora tion, claims the monopoly of the lands. The settlers, mostly squatters and numbering aboat 15,003, who have acquired certain rights by the treaties, are not disposed to concede his claims and disturbances have already taken place. The Governor of Kansas has asked for troop3 to restore order but Congressman Clark thinks it Would be uuwise to send a force there at present He is going home from Washington in a few days and will try his skill in the dis trict as a volunteer peacemaker. The people of Kansas sympathize with the settlers, but the Sta'e authorities uphold Joy and the corporation. A Liberal Creditor. A wealthy Englishman, said to have been at one time a member of Parliament, who was a conspicuous friend of the Uuited States in England during the rebellion, bought a large amount of the early issues of five-twenty bonds. Some time ago he be gan a correspondence with the treasury department in reference to the interest on the bonds, dating his letters at Man chester. He said he thought the 6 per cent, gold interest too high and for Jhis part he was willing to take half that amount. Within a few days the Secre tary has received another letter from the same gentleman, dated at a point in Penn sylvania, referring to his previous corres pondence and inclosing a 81,000 five twenty bond and seven 30 coupons, which he returns to the government as set tlement for the pa3t and intimates a desire to have the matter so aranged in the future that he can divide the interest with the government each year, retaining only 3 per cent, himself. Mr. Boutwell has answered his letter thanking him for his great generosity, and asking him to visit Washington in order that the matter may be arranged as h.e desires. I'rom Our Warm Spring? Correspondent. Editor Register: Little Injuu is once again surrounded by the comforts and luxuries of home. Long years ago his father's "wigwam" was sheltered by the branches of a noble tree, which stood close by the waters of the mighty Willamette ! There, in the days of his youth, he climbed crab-apple trees, and was spanked for tearing his clothes. There, too, it was that he de lighted to ride a noble "Cayuse horse " Time rolled on ; he left the home of his youth, and his feet trod the soil of Ochoco Valley. Alone, re stood amidst valleys most beautiful. He viewed the Oehoco winding its way through beautiful mead ows, but still he sighed for red apples and-a "Cayuse horso," but had them not. At last pioneer cabins sprang up as if by magic around him, and he was once more permitted to see a Webfoofc. He ceased to wish for the luxuries of a civil ized life, and at last became happy. So it will be with many a person : some will fiud that it is far easier to sit in a cosy parlor and discuss the poetry of a life on the frontier, than it is, to live that life and feel all of its realities. They will be denied comforts which are hard to do without, but titno will soon roll on, and then we can be equally as well pro vided for as we could be in misty Web foot. Little Injun will now proceed to give a few items. Bently, alias Flint, the cattle speculator, tried his game at Ocho co. He caused a great manj' of the people to work for him several days, for which, of course, they received nothing He hired a couple of teams to go with him to the Dalles. They received some fifty dollars in cash from him. He pur chased at the Dalles several hundred dol lars worth of goods, and paid about one hundred and thirty dollars on the con tract, but before he had gotten sixty miles from the Dalles the owners had the goods attached, and out of his hands. To sum up his transactions at Ochoco and the Dalles he is out of "pocket" about two hundred and thirty dollars He will doubtless pronounce Ochoco a "bilk." Guiliford Bros, have arrived at Ochoco with two hundred and fifty head of cattle, and have returned to the valley with the intention of driving out about that many more. Garden and grain fields were looking finely, and everybody and his wife were enjoying good health LITTLE INJUN Earthquake. On the morning of the 22d a heavy shock of earthquake was experienced at Olympia, Washington Territory. The shock was heavy enough to awaken those who were asleep. A similar shock wa3 felt at Steilacoom. Smells its Position. The Port land Herald says : "The poison of Re- ; publican victories has tainted the entire political atmosphre."

The or igin of the name of this river and valley, emanates from the numerous pits built in that section as a means of entrapinsr the Pintes, with whom the Pit River In dians had bitter contests several years o. These pits ' are built something similar to the round cement cisterns with a small opening at the surface, in geniously covered with a thin coating of soil containing grass, apparently con cealing any vestige of such a dangerous opening in the ground. These pits are from twelve to fourteen ft. in depth, and owing to the arching top, it is impossible to get a foot hold towards climbing to the outlet. Cattle ahd horses as well as men have tumbled into these pits, but they are now going to ruin, most of them having caved in, the Indians trust ing to their guns, since becoming ac quainted with their use, reliable mode of warfare.

Its facility for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We like the plow for its draught, because the same is ' brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in stead of the carriage $ also, because it is strong and durable, all excepflhe wood-work being con structed of wrought iron no castings are used. The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad vantage over other -gang-plows. In striking off land and in plowing, not having to make the nec essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is always level, not throwing tho driver forward or sideways as in other plows.
