FREE HOMES.
IN KANSAS AND NEBRASKA.

A bill to grant homesteads to early
settlers in New Mexico. Kansas and Ne
braska, has passed both houses Of Con-
gress. and has been signed by the Presi-
dent. /, grants l60 acres Of lend 10
persons who resided within the Territory
prior to the LIST of January. 1888. or who
may remove and settle there before the
LIST Of January, 1858.
This bill is an improvement upon the
anne ndment of the homestead bill. propo
sed by Mr.. Hunter, as it does not require
any pay from the settler. and only re-
quires four years residence instead o.
five.-LouiSrill Journal.
In relation to the foregoing, the South
Bend Register says:
1--WE avail. the publication of the law
with great interest. as if the report is
true, it will strengthen the hope foi Free
dom in those Territories materially"
There goes the main plank Of the agita
ton platform already. and by their nom
inee for Congress in this District. II
"the hope for freedom in those Terrific
ries" should gain little more strength
before the October cleo ton. it will not
be very difficult matter to get it on its
feet, with all the noise and confusion
that has been made about it.
But from the time the bill was passed
the cry has gone throughout the land
that Congress legislated Slavery into
"those Territories. Now there is o
hope. Permit us TO add Dr.. Nofsinger's
hope in his last letter to the State Jour
nal: the South understands her IN
TEREsTs, she will assist in the re.estab-
l:shment of the Missouri Compromise
line. FOR WITHOUT RESTORATION or
THE Missouri COMPROMISE LINE NO 9TH
KR SLAVE STATE WILL EVER BE
ADMITTED INTO THIS UNION; AND
CERTAINLY NO PERSON WILL BE INSANE
ENOUGH TO THINK So"
Then if the Compromise is restored,
there WILL BE Slave States admitted, &c
Then who wants that measure restoredl

A Good Story.

Some of the students Of the Indiana
State University were supposed to be in
the habi. of drinking brandy. Where
they obtained it was a mystery. DIR.
Daily determined to ferrit out the secret.
Calling into a small drug store, the pro-
prietor asked him how that student, Mr..
Carter. WASP Smelling rat. the DR..
answered in an eYasive manner. and soon
drew out Of him that the students under
suspicion had been in the habit of pur.
chasing brandy for q sick student by the
name of Carter; that they said he was
quite low. and was kept alive by stimu-
lants; that the young gentlemen seemed
very much devoted TO him. Now. the
secret was out. This Carter was ficti-
tious character, and the doctor had the
secret.
However. he kept his own counsel -
The next slime the students assent led in
the chapel for prayers. he cast his eyes
over the crowd. and satisfied himself that
Carriers nurses were all present. The
devotions were duly conducted, and he
then called the attention Of the students,
remarking that lie had mournful task to
perform--as president OF the University
il became his duty 10 announce the death
of their fellow student. Mr.. Carter. At
ter lingering illness of several weeks,
he had breathed his las: He had no
doubt this announcement ould fall sad
ly on the ears of those who had so faith
fully attended to his wants, but he hoped
they would bear il with resignation--he
hoped they would reflect on the oft
peated words. 'Mementi omori'---that he
would now no longer detain. but leave
them TO their own reflections!
The result Of this announcement was
startling. None of the professors. and
but few of the students, had ever heard
of Carter. 'Who is he?' was wills pered :.
None knew but the kind friends who at
tended him and they wouldn't tell; and
the president seemed so deeply affected
that they didn't like TO ask him.
