The n. Y. Tribune ofthe 9Th, says the
River and Harbor Bill has been vetoed
by the President. We think this is a
mistake. The Milwaukee Sentinelthinks
the bill was not passed, and we think SO
too.
p. Sin the House proceedings of
the 4th, we notice among other business
the signing of the River and Harbor bill
by the Speaker. So it must have passed
and has probably met with the fate as
cribed to it by the Tribune.

APPLYING ScRIpruRE.-Thef following
is good enough TO be true, though it prob
ably is not;
Rev Dr. Hawks, it is said, was at one
sine elected Bishop OF Rhode Island but
he declined the appointment, the ground
for refusal being the meagre salary as
signed to the office His Rhode Island
friends reminded him of the promise
made in the scriptures-that. God
would feed the young ravens" The doc
tor replied that this was true, but that
he had no where seen a promise to feed

FUNNY ENouGH.-A tailor in England
recently sued one of his customers for
clothes had and delivered. In the course
of the trial. it appeared the clothes had
been made with cloth buttons, when the
defendants Attorney cited statutes to
show that the making and using Of cloth
buttons was an offence punishable by fine.
1t appeared on investigation, that such
statutes had been enacted many years
ago, to protect the Birmingham button
makers, and had never been repealed.
The consequence was, the tailor lost his
suit. and moreover was threatened with
prosecution for violating the law. The
Joke of it was that the learned Judge nor
any of the high dignitaries, knew any
thing about the law, until tie pettifog-
ging attorney excavated it for their ben

A SHORT SroRY.-Dickens tells the

In his last voyage home, the captain
had on board young lady Of remarkable
personal beauty. This young lady was
beloved intensely by five young gentle
men passengers and in turn she was be
loved by them all arclently, but without
any particular preference for either.
Not knowing how to MAKE up-her de
termination in this dilemma she consult
ed my friend, the Captain.
The Captain being man of original
turn of mind, says to the young lady
| jump overheard and marry the MAJ
who jumps after you. The young lady
struck with the idea and being fond o
bathing, especially in warm weather, as i
then was, took the advice of the Captain
who had a boat ready manned in case ot
accident.
Accordingly next morning, the five To-
vcrS being on deck and looking very de-
voteIly at the young lady. she plunged
into the sea mead foremost. Four Of the
lovers Immediately jumped in after her.
When the young lady and her four levers
got out again, she says to the Captain
What am to do now. they are so wet?
Says the Captain take the dry one!
And the young lady did, and married him

Kansas Emigrant Organization.

A meeting was held at New York on
Tuesday, ito organize a Kansas League
Incorporate with the Emigrant Aid Com
pany in Colonizing Kansas with Free
men,"
Hon. Eli Thayer, of Worcester, Mass,
said: by conveying large numbers to
Kansas, the expenses will be reduced to
about S25 per individual, thus saving to
the 10000 who will presently go there,
a large amount of money. The frauds
which have been practiced upon the I'M
protected emf grants will be avoided. The
company will be composed of wealthy
men. and they intend to care for the en-
igrant after he shall have arrived at his
new home. Agents are there now, pre-
pairing for their reception. They have
already extended their good offices to
those cmigrants who left Worcester,
Mass, a short time since for that terrific
nv. Receiving houses are proposed by
the company. in which the newly arrived
settler will find temporary home. Prin-
ting. mechanical operations, education,
religious and intellectual will he estab-
lished there From Crawford county.
Penn. one hundred families propose to
move to Kansas, each family being worth
not less than $4,000. \ paper to be
called the Herald of Freedom is to be
published there, supported by capital of
$4,000.
To render the company permanent,
money is required. We do not propose
to make a cent from the emigrant. We
shall however. make free states. We in
tend to put into Kansas before winter,
10000 men. The company are locating
two cities there now. Each year more
than 100000 emigrants will be sent West
by the company. We want the forma-
ton of a thousand sgners to carry out
these measures. Each man who wishes
to become member. must pay into the
Treasury at least one dollar. Persons
wishing to cmigrate must report them
selves to the Master of Emigration, and
their case is then considered by the Board.
If they are suitable persons they are pro
vided with conveyance to the West Many
Leagues are now forming in this State
and Massachusetts,, and the object of this
meeting is to increase the number. The
shares of the stock in the company are
fixed at s., and the books of subscrip-
ton are now open in New York"
The committee then reported consti-
tuition for the League to be established
in New y ork, and after its adoption. the
meeting appointed officers for the same,
and adjourned.

Our HarbOF

Is progressing finely, and whether the
President vetoes the Appropriation Bill
or not, the work on it ariH go ahead, TIL
a good harbor is completed.
We took a ramble down that way or
Saturday last. and found the Dredge bu-
silly and rapidly at work under the gui-
dance of ALoNzo WHITE. The way il
dipped out whole cart loads Of sand al
each bucket" full, and the way the piers
on both sides were heaped up with the
sand already thrown out, was sufficient
guaranty that "deep water" would pretty
soon be found.
We saw several vessels in the harbor
which came in both to load and unload
The Traveller was there preparing to take
on a load of brick. We we've told by the
owner of the COL Glorer that at its mex
trip it would enter the harbor to unl0aC
its lumber.
In addition to the City Force, Mr.. j
H. Hackley, who last year had charge o.
the City Force, is now at work under the
employ of the U. S. Government, under
the supervision Of Judge Hale.
We noticed too, that Lake street ha;
been nicely graded, clear up to the pier
and that good plank platform or lohar
on the pier has been made, so that yes
sells can load and unload with every faci
lily.
The Harbor is thus assuming a usefu
shape and is improving fin.ly.-D.
