TITLES TO GovERNMRNr LAND IN
KANSAS AND NEBRAsKA.-The questionls
frequently asked how titles can be acquired
to the government lands In Kansas and Ne
braska Territories, and whether military
bounty-land warrants can be located in these
Territories. We have ascertained that, ex-
cept the lands reserved for the Indians un-
der treaty stipulations, or to be sold for
their benefit, or lands reserved for military
reservations or other public uses, the whole
country to which the Indian title had been;
extinguished is subject to settlement even.
prior to survey, and that prescriptions will
be allowed for claims predicated on such
settlements. This is an important Provis-
ion, as in the old land States and Terrific
ries claims are not allowed or settlements
made prior TO survey. All that an emigrant
has to do, Therefore, is to select his location,
make his improvements on any Of the lands
not exempted from settlement by any Of the
restrictions mentioned above, and, on the
completion and return of the SURVEYS, file
his proofs at the local land office, where his
claim will be allowed, and he can nav for
the land and Secure his improvements, pro-
viding the improvements are such as are

that can be made of land warrants IN these

A NUT FOR ABoL1T1oNIsTs 10 CRACK.
A little more than a month ago, two ne
gro men, one belonging to Judge Summers
and the other to VIM. Gillison, Esq, made
their escape from this place. Efforts were
made to retake them, and liberal rewards
offered for their Apprehension, but nothing
was heard of them until last Tuesday eve
ming, when "Layfayette," }" the Judges boy
made his appearance in the stage from
Guyandotte, voluntarily returning to his
master, to ask forgiveness and to be res
tored to former relations.
His account of himself was briefly this:
That Mr. Gillison's boy and himself left
here in company with white man, who
conducted them to as far as Sandusky city.
They travelled on foot to GAINESVILLE, crossing
Ohio at Point Pleasant in the night; and
from GAINESVILLE went on the railway to
Sandusky city, where the white man left
them, after placing them on board a steam
er to cross the lake into Canada. He rep
Presented to them that he lived in Ohio.
The boys remand in Canada some ten OF
twelve days, and not seeing that they could
do any thing for themselves there, they
Icame over to Detroit. Finding their pros.
poets no better at thatplace, "Lafe" deter
! mined on-an immediate return home.
With barely money enough to pay his way
4 to Cincinnati, he reached that place by rail.
way, and going on board a steamer bound
up the river he worked his way to Guyan-
dotte, and going Immediately to near rela'
tive of his master, who resided in the vicinl.
ty, begged him to send him forward. und el
safe convoy, and with despatch, to his des-
tination. His purpose was, throughout, to
reach home without being captured, believ'
ing, as he said, that if he could get to hi:
master and make clean breast of it, and g
voluntary surrender, he would not sell him.
We understand that he has seen the ell
ephant, and is satisfied.
| He has received a full pardon and gone
to work again the happiest and most con
Tented fellow alive, and declares that he
would not, now he has seen for himself, ex
change conditions with the best provided
free negro he saw while In Canada. He
:, tstatesthat he saw number OF eolored peo'

from about Parkersburg; and that almos
all he conversed with wished to return tc
i Virginia. and would return if they had the
means of coming, and were certain OF no
being sold. They are nearly all poor, ant
ldoing badly. He says wages are low
and that he saw no money while in Canads
but copper cents-a circulating medium te
which he has been quite unaccustomed in
this region.

K1ssINa MARR1ED WOMEN IN FRANCE.
In France, to- kiss lady with whom you
are not at all intimate, on meeting her, IS
very common; especially is this the case if
she be a married lady. Not only the
members of the family, bat all the guests,
expect invariably to salute the lady of the
house on coming down in the morning.
But though the modest American may, per-
haps, escape the ceremony on ordinary oc-
casions, yet on New Years day it is imper-
ative. On that morning, says Paris let
ter-writer, I came down to my coffee about
o'clock. l sat down quietly, bidding

sions.-But was not to get off so easily.

Madame was lady of perhaps twenty
eight, with jet black, glossy hair, large lus-
trous black eyes, clear, fair complexion.
She was very beautiful; had been plain she
should have felt embarrassed. She waited
as though expecting me to atone for my
neglect; but how could before the whole ia
