Senator Atcheson presented memorial Of
the General Assembly Of Missouri, asking for
the organization Of Territory west OF Mis-
souri,.
The memorial states that this territory lying
west Of the State of Missouri, extending from
the territory occupied by the Cherokees to the
northern line Of the State, and west TO the
Plains, is now occupied by some thirty thou
sand Indians. If organized into Territory,
and opened to settlement by the white man, IL
would in five years rank in wealth and poPula-
ton among the first States in the Union. In
one county in the Platte purchase, organized in
1899, with not more than twenty miles square
in its limits, there is now population OF nj
teen thousand How much more IL that county
werth to the Union than the entire territories
occupied by the Indians.
Also, joint resolutions Of the same, request
ing their Representatives TO vote in accordance
with the 9th section of the act Of Congress "to
authorize the people Of Missouri to form a Con-
stitution and State Government, and for the ad-
mission of such State into the Union on an
equal footing with the original States, and to
prohibit slavery in certain Territories"

The artists hacquite celebration at Rome on
the 2Sth Dec The British Hall, as usual, vas
the place in which the festival was held The
venerable PrOUf, witty and full of laughter, max
ing mirth, presided. Their banqueting was
merry as merry could he. Wit, song, humorous
speech, SPICY humOr, racy anecdote,--these
marked the artists festival. The following song
was chaunted, when Plus health was proposed
Old Tyber rose from his oozy bed
And his ears grew erect with wonder:
For, "Let Rome be free"' was the word that
was said,
And her chains fell, snapt asnnder,
And the guns doomed loud from old Adran's
mole
With a roar Of Joy, that up.er
The ribs of death might create "A soul,
To exult in freedoms thunder.
La the Vatican, when each Roman man
Saw enthroned his liberator,
Twas-if Peters word had TO life restored
Rome's "Dying Gladiator!''
Or n-he whom the asp in a marble grasp
Kept cOiled and for ages strangled,
Got loose from the hold Of each serpent fold,
And exulted, disentangled.
What glorious and divine forethought
In that best Of pictures fitness,
Where the prophet hand of Raphael wrought
The blessed scene we witness,
Look down-'tis the rage Of Roman youth
BY demon powers beleaguered.
Look up-'tis the reign Of Right and Truth;
IT'S Rome-but Rome Transfgured.

could be more touching than his verses on the
dyisg ehild' Many parent will weep, an the
recollection of his parting from the loved and
lost comes freshly up to the mind with soflened
sadness Of feeling, while he reads them:
Mother, I'm tired, and would fain be sleeping;
Let mo repose upon thy bosom seek;
But promise me that thou wilt leave off weep
ing,
Because thy tears fall hot upon my cheek.
Here it in cold: the tempest raveth madly;
But in my creams all is SO wond'rous bright;
see the angel children smiling gladly,
When from my weary eyes l shut out light.
Mother, one stands beside me now and listen
post thou not hear the music's sweet accord
See now his white wings beautifully giisten!
Surely those wings were given him by our
Lord!
Green, gold and red are floating all around me:
They ars the flowers the angel scattereth.
Shall have also wings whilst fife has bound me
Or, mother, are they given alone in DEATH
Why dost thou clasp me as if were going1
Why dost thou press thy cheek thus unto
mine.
Thy cheek is hot, and yet thy tears are flowing
will, dear mother, will be always thine.
DO not sight marreth my reposing;
And, If thou weep, then | must weep with
thee!
Oh, l am tired--my weary eyes are closing!
Look, mother look! the angel ksseth me.

The Legislature Of Ohio has refused 10 snnul
or amend her black laws
Not one Of the members Of that body, would
hesitate about denouncing Slavery generally.--
Very few of them who do not condemn the South
for holding on to the institution. Yetthey deny
justice to the negro, and refuse to take his tes-
timony, in any Of their courts.
There are hundreds Of planters in thia State
who refuse to emancipate their slaves-ard who
oppose emancipation because Of free State Leg
islation Of this character. They ask-"what
can the slave do, If he be set free = Whore can
he go7" And fearing that he may be worse off,
they conclude to do the best they can with him,
and for him,
Most of the free States deal shamefully in
this matter. The majority of the Ohio Iegis-
lature, certainly, merit severe rebuke for their
inhumanity in sustaining laws which Ken
lucky Statesman calls "atrocious,' and most
men admit TO be disgraceful.

5. Yes, upwards Of sixteen hundred miles
We have 10 follow the Tennessee and it,

b. / suppose you employ slave labor in the
manufacture Of this iron.
S. No Not a single slave. Slaves don't
pay in East Tennessee. We employ only white
labor in our establishment.
II is some three hundred miles by land from
Louisville to East Tennesses--as fine miner

we had railroads connecting the internal por-
tons of the South, 1t would be one of the great

Salem, Massachusetts, was absorbed CONNER
