WASHINGTON, nov. 20, 1900
The danger of collision between the federal
government and the free State government OF Kan
sas is imminent. The Free State Convention have
adopted a constitution which is to be approved by
the anti slavery voters on the 18th OF December,
and put in operation in January. The laws OF the
new State will, of course, come in conflict with
those of the territorial government, and Governor
Shannon has stated that he is authorized oy the
President to call upon the militia and alsoupon the
U. s. troops, for the maintenance OF the laws OF
the territorial government We never before
quite near civil as we are under this state
of things The militia to be called out will. OF
course, be the Missouri men-the very men who
have undertaken the task OF making Kansas slave
holding State.
learn that Mr. Pomeroy, who is prominent
candidate in competition with Col Lane for the U.
s. Senatorship is to be the military leader OF the
free State troops, in case of a war. The Kansas
constitutional convention have adopted the exam
pie of California and propose to create State Gov
eminent whether Congress shall admit 1t into the
Union as a State or not. There is no probability
that Congress will, at the coming session, admit
Kansas as State, whether with or without slavery.

SHARPENING EDGED TooLs.-The National H.
telligeacer translates the following from German
scientific journal:
1t has long been known that the simplest method
of sharpening razor, is to put it for half an hour
in water to which has been added one.twentieth Of
its weight of muriatic sulphuric acid, then wipe
il off and after few hours set it on hone. The
acid here supplies the place of a milestone, by
coroding the whole surface uniformly, that MOTH
ing further but smooth polish is necessary. The
process never Injuries good blades, while badly hard
eued ones are frequently improved by it, although
the cause Of such Improvement remains unex~
planned.
OF late, this process has been applied to many
other cutting implements. The workman, at the
beginning OF his noonspel or when he leaves on in
the evening, mOistens the blades OF his tools With
water acdfed as above the cost of which is almost
nothing. This saves the consumption of time and
labor in whetting, which moreover speedily wears
out the blades. The mode of sharpening here in
dicated, would be found especially advantageous
for sickies and scythes.

HARD TO PLEAsE-The London Times complains
bitterly, because, as it alleges, the American Gov.
ernment does not sufficiently enforce the neutrality
laws, and in the same breath it complains of the
enforcement of these laws in the case of Mr. Cramp
ton. The New York Times well remarks upon the
subject
"The London papers one and all cOneede that
the attempt of the English Government to enlist
troops here for the Crmea, violation OF our
laws. The London Times efcondemns that act
and censures the Government in the strongest Ian
guage for it. 1t claims indeed, that the assurances
of friendship made by the American Minister, and
the promises Ofsupport given By the American press
misled the government into this false step; but
whatever these assurances may have been, the
British Government had no right to presume upon
them so far as to violate our law 1t could not
plead ignorance of that law-for it had too often
preached US with our inability to enforce it. 1t
could not presume it to be a dead letter-for it
knew that our Government had within the last year
broken up one or two expedition directed against
Cuba. Its instructions TO its agents show that it
knew the law-and the instructions of Mr. Cramp-
ton show that be relied evading its provisions"

HOME AND FRIENDS.

Oh, there's power to make each hour
As sweet es heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it!
We seek too high for things close by,
And loose what Nature found us;
For life hath here no charms so dear
As Home and Friends around us
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes-and praise them;
Whilst flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop TO raise them
For things arar, still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell hath bound us
But soon we're taught that earth hath naugh
Like Home and Friends around us
The Friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
To show us still, that come what will,
We are not quite forsaken:
Though all we're right-if but the light
From Friendships altar crowned us,
'Twoald prove the bliss of earth was this,
or Home and Friends around us.

room in which some young Satans
lodged, he saw them jumping and
skipping about, apparently in high
glee--that Belzebub noticing it told
them to 60 to bed and be quiet
that on their not obeying his orders

SALLY STRICTLAND'S CASE
Showing how the Doctor cured her of
the Blue Devils.


Miss Strickland was a maiden lady
Of five-and-forty who had wearied
the doctor patience by her reitera-
ted attempt at dying at most unSea-
sonable hours-at least so far as re-
garded the comfort of her medical
attendant. One cod stormy night
the doctor had been called to see
Miss Sally, and had succeeded as
usual in pacifying her fears, and left
her enjoying a sound and refreshing
sleep. He had hardly arrived at
home, drenched through with the
rain which was falling in torrents,
and got into warm and comiorta-
BILE bed, when he was awakened by
loud rap at the door, and a voice
without begging him to get in a
moment, as one of his neighbors was
dying and needed his assistance
Half asleep and half awake, he
sprang from the bed, and ran to the
door to inquire which Of his neigh
bors was in so dangerous a condi-
ton, and was surprised and cha
grined to find that his dying neigh
Dor was Miss Sally Strictland-that
after he had left her, an hour or two
before, she was taken suddenly
down again, and had sent a messtn-
ger to hasten his return, and to tell
him that if he did not come quick
he would not find her alive. The
messenger urged him to get ready
as soon as possible, and in the mean
time he would get his horse and
sulky up, and have them at the
door. The doctor, worn out with
the repeated calls, and fatigued with
his previous visit, hesitated, but f.
nally decided on going, determined
to make an end of the job by either
killing or curing.
On his arrival he put on a gloo-
my and CHASTITY countenance, said
but very little, and in all respects
appeared more like a stranger from
another world, than the humorous
and agreeable family physician. On
his entering the room of Sally, she
noticed the countenance of the doc
tor, and discovered that something
was preying upon his spirits, as he
did not appear with his wonted
cheerfulness. She inquired of him
the cause Of his gloom and depres-
sion, and begged him to unbosom
his mind fully and freely, as proba-
bly, it would be the last opportunity
he would have.
He told her it would be improper
under existing circumstances-that
as the time of her dissolution was
approaching, it might terrify her
and hasten her departure. She en-,
treated him to keep nothing from
her, though it might relate to her,
self, for she was DESTROYS of know,
ing the worst Of her case, and was
prepared to meet it, be it what i
might. He still declined disclosing
the cause of his melancholy, and in
sisted that her remaining strength
was insufficient to sustain the shocl
which it must necessarily produce
and begged her to turn her thoughts
to other and more appropriate sub
jects. Though Sally supposed her
self dying yet she was unwilling t'
die without having her curiosity
gratifed, and she therefore the moro
strongly importuned the doctor tc
keep her no longer in suspense

port from the committee, and bill passed the
House at three sessions, but was defeated in
the Senate.
When | commenced writing this article, /
intended to express some views in contrasting
the difference between the investigation OF
claims before court sitting in public, with
open doors, and committees Of Congress, or
clerks OF the departments-as we'll as to ven
ture some suggestions. in reference to placing
additional guards around the proceedings OF
the contemplated tribunal, for the purpose Of
enabling it more certainly to detect frauds at
tempted to be practised. But the long heat
have given "Romulus" has occupied SO much
time and space, that / am admonished of its
being time to draw the reins, and wait for an
other opportunity. In concluding these home
spun remarks, therefore, / will only reiterate
the expression Of opinion, that the bill to es-
tablish court for the adjudication of claims as
proposed by Senator Brodhead, is greeted with
decided appreciation wherever the subject has
been canvassed, and its final passage by Con
gress is looked for with intense anxiety.
