Minnesota is somewhat celebrated for her
thunder, and after spell Of hot weather, re-
verberations of her atmosphere are somewhat
stunning But even Minnesota thunder sinks
into quietudc amid the noise Of the "gullaws"
issued in and about our Office yesterday morning
when our boys were reading the leader of the
Times of yesterday. No one will be more sur
prised than the author of the communications
in this paper, signed Justice" to learn that
he is big, or has a round belly, or jolly red
face, or that he can get, much less eat, lob
ster salad &c. &c. 1t must, of course be ad-
mittcd that such illusions to the correspon-
dent of newspaper, whether justified or not
by the truth, are conclusions against his facts,
and reasoning! Nevertheless we are compcll-
ed to object-or at least we must he permitted
honest and sagacious individuals who supercn-
tend the columns of our contemporary.
We say nothing about the taste of the pro-
duction referred to. That is appreciated by
everybody. But VIC cannot avoid noticing the
uncomfortable disposition of the controllers Of
the Times to judge Of all things by comparison.
They pass upon their fellow-mcn and
their efforts by the same rule that COckncys
determine the extent of the ocean, or the height
of mountain, by contrast with themselves.
Or, like certain dimnutive official in speak
ing of the late Sioux " fraud," C) they think
whatever does not descend to the level of their
own minds is gerry in,n,ehse'

MORNING, AUGUST 80, 1854.
Kansas.

An intelligent gentleman from Roxbury
Mass, Mr.. BENZ. Merriam, who has been upon a
visit to the Territory of Kansas the present
summer, paid us visit yesterday. He was
not well pleased with the country. SO far as he
had an opportunity of seeing it. and in all
probability il he remains West at all, he will
settle in Minnesota.
The great obstacle in the way of the speedy
settlement of Kansas and Nebraska is the scare
ity of timber. The valley of the Kansas river,
which has been represented as we'll timbercd
country, proves to be almost entirely barren
of this essential requisite of a civilized popua-
tion. Water, generally speaking, is also de-
MED by nature to those whomay desire to set
tie upon the vast plains of these new Terrific
ries. In the way of timber, the prairies of Kan
sas and Nebraska have not the advantages for
settlement that the same description of coun-
try has in Minnesota, as there are no vast
can be made available for building and gener-
al improving purposes.
Our inlOrment states, as his belief, drawn
from the hasty observation he was enabled to
make during his brief stay, that the institution
of slavery will not gain q practical foot-hod
in Kansas. There have many false reports
gone abroad in regard to the determination of
the Missourians to carry slavery into the new
Territory, but he thinks the great mass of them
care very little about it.

cnth day of protractcd "spclP' of hot wea-
ther, such as Minncsotians have never before
known. The thermometer during the period
has never been below so, and from that point
it has ranged to lO0-more generally nearer
tnued succession of hot days and nights is out
of all calculation in this climate, even in mid
summer. The season is go far advanced that
this must certainly be the last of the summer S

For well you know she's not aware
Her skirts are raised trins
But should you think she might percliance

Though tantalizcd TIL he Is crazed-

The while it merely lightly pats
As th0u.htless she may move IT,

But When II tips across the street,
Through Winds, and mud aud vApor,
By sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper;
And as 1t steps upoR the walk

While the iuy,sls tear. and the right good cheer,
So here to-day, where the May Flower lay,
Cape CoPs brave sons and dau ,;hters,
Grasp the friendly hand, the stoTm-bleached sand
And sing by the rolling waters.
With willing feet we gladly meet
To hear once more the story,
OF the pilgrims brave, who dared the wave
For free'lon-nOt for glory.
No warriors fame snwreathS their name,
Nor wealth, nor fortune sped themj
But n,blrr far the guiding star
That on TO victory led them.
Al the shrine they reared, by age euIeaIed,
our homage here rcncwIng,
We humbly bow, in reverence now,
Their glorious deeds reviewing.
Wen tell their worth through all the earth,

Till freedoms song shall TOLL along,

The spell that hath enthrall-d us.

RENEWED PERSECUTION or PRorEsrAx1s N
TUscANY.-The London Morning Advertiser an
nounces the renewal Of the prosecutions of ths
Protestants in Tuscany. Several letters ron
Tuscany, dated May and June last, have beea
received in London, containing most interest
ing and detailed accounts Of persons, of both
sexes, and all ages, who for reading their b.
bles, or even for being suspected, have been
thrown into dungeons and await their trial.
Many others, it is said, are tracked and watch
ed by their enemies, with the hope Of getting
something whereof to accuse them. And 50
slight are the grounds on which the hated Bible
readers are incarcerated, that, after tempors-
ry confinement among felons, a number Of per-
sons have been released, the government being
unable to sustain any charge against them.

RELIGIOUS Items.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS OF ENGLAND-In the CEN
sus of 1851 all inquiry was made into the num-
Der Of houses of worship in England and Wales
and the average attendance of the congrcga-
tion. From this it appears that the Establish
cd Church has 14,O77 churches, capable of
seating 5,327 ,Gl5 persons or only 29.7 per cent.
of the population. The other religious sects
have 2O,39O chapcls, furnishing accommoda-
tions for 4,S9l GAS persons. The larger por-
tions oftheir chapels are occupied by the fol-
lowing dissenting bodies, viz:

In 1901, the established churches, and other
bodies only 37O1. On a particular Sabbath in
March, 1851, measures were taken to ascertain
the number who attended church that day, and
it was fonnd that 3,77 ,474 had attended the
Established Church Oh that day, against 3, 4S7 :
55S persons attending other religious organ
izatons.
These facts show the waning power of the
established church, and portcnd important po-
litical events, if it be true, as Lord John Rus
sci says, that "with the established church the
hereditary monarchy and hereditary aristocra-
cy stand or fall
In lS49 there were in China connected with
the Roman Catholic Church, 81 European Mis-
sOnaries, l35 native priests, If colleges and
seminaries 326 churches and chapels, and Sl5,-
900 members. Their organization is complete
and extends over the whole country. The num-
ber of their missionaries is greater than that of
all Protestant denominations, while they also
have large number of priests from among the
natives.
During the past year, the number of persons
received as members into the Reformed Dutch
Church, in the United States, was 3,l3S. The
additions during the previous year numbered
in all, $500. The number of clergymen who
died during the same period was seven. The
total number of Churches in this communion
is S2l the number of communicants, 6,597
number of families 2S,642.

The MORMONs.-Twenty-e y-eight years ago, 40
Smith" the founder of this sect, and Harris"
his first convert, applied to the senior editor
of The Journal. then residing at Rochester, 10
print bis Book of Mormon" then just tranf-
crbed from the Golden Bible which "Jo" had
found in the cleft of u rock to which he had
been guided by vision. We attempted to
read the first chapter, but it seemed such unin-
telligible jargon that it was thrown aside. "Jo'
was tavern idler in the village of Palmyra.
Harris, who offered to pay for the printing, was
a substantial farmer. Disgusted with what We
deemed weak invention" ofan impostar, and
not caring to strip Harris of his hard earnings,
the proposition was declined. The manuscript
was then taken to another printing Office D
cross the street. whence, in due time, the o1igi-
nal Mormon Bible" made its advent.
"Tall trees from little acorns grow"
But who would anticipated, from such Q
bald, shallow, senseless imposition, such world
wide consequences? To remember Jo Smith"
with his loafer-look pretending to read from .
miraculous slatc-stOne placed in his hat with
the Mormonism of the present day, awakens
thoughts alike painful and mortifying. There
is no limit, even in this most enlightened Of
all the ages Of knowledge, to the inposture
and credulity. Ifknaves, or even fools, invent
creeds nothing is to monstrous for belief
Nor does the fact--a fact not denied or dis
guised-that all the Mormon leaders are rss-
calls as well as imposters, either open the eyes
of their dupes or arrest the progress Of delu-
sion.-.aIbany Journal.

How TO PAY FOR FARM-SOme of our farm
ers in this vicinity have raised and sold for
cash in the St. Paul market, the present season,
over $500 worth of melons-a sum sufficient to
pay the Government in full for their farms,
whenever they shall come into the Market
The cost ofraisiDg melons here is very triiing.
Put the seed into the ground, and they will
grow.
