RUMeR OF KANSAS DIFFICULTIES RENEwED.--A
rumor is again that the free State and pro-sla
very men of Kansas territory have been engaged in
fight at Easton. 1t is said that two Of the border
rutfans were killed, and that two abolitionists were
severely wounded affray which commenced by
the Missourians making attack upon the ballot
boxes. The story needs confirmation, it has al
ready been stated that it grossly exaggerated.-
We find the following in the Kckapoo Pioneer extra,
Jan 18:
"Forbearance has now, indeed, ceased to be vir-
tue; therefore we call on every pro-savery man in
the land to rally to the Kansas must be i'm
mediately rescued from these yrannical dogs.
"The Kickapoo Rangers at this moment beat
ing to arms! A large number of pro.sMvery men
will leave this place for Easton in twenty minutes
The war has again commenced, and the abolition
lists have again commenced it. Proslavery men
law and order men-strke for your alters-strike
for your fresides-srke for your rights-avenge the
blood of your brethren who have been cowardly as
sailed, but who have bravey fallen in defence of
Southern institutions. Sound the bugle of war over
the length and breath of the land, and leave not
abotonsts, in the territory to relate their reacher
Gus and communicating deeds-strike your piercing
rife balls and your glitterng steel to their black and
poisonous hearts. Let the cry never cease
in Kansas again, until territory wrested of the
last vestige of abolitionism."

A correspondent translates the following amusing
anecdote from the Courier des Etas Uns:
One of the most beautiful actresses of theatre on
the boulevards received daily for about month,
little penny bouquet of violets. She found the bou
quet in her box with the doorkeeper every even
ing as the play about TO begin, and this simple
offering of an unknown lover affected her in spite of
herself.
While acting she looked carefully around-at the
boxes, the parquette, and even behind the scenes
but to no purpose; she saw nothing by which TO re-
cogniZe the man of bouquets. And thereupon she
gave her imagination free reign, and the Imagination
of actress is very similar to that of other folks
Was he foreign prince, who wished to captivate
her heart before placing at her feet his and
treasures? Or was he an artist, too bashful to de-
clare his passion?
She interrogated the box. keeper, the tire
in Short everybody employed in the theatre but no,
body knew anything about it. Still the bouquets
came
Do they tell US that constancy is a chimera @
murmured She
The other evening she entered the theatre she
received fresh bouquet of voles, and this time the
flowers ere accompanied by letter. At last !!
said she and opening it by the light of reflector,
she read follows
Mademoisele,-I have loved you for long time,
for is not beholding and loving you the same thing
Every day I come to admire you, to applaud you, to
delight myself with the brightness of your eyes and
the charm of your voice
He must be in the house,, thought the actress
and she peeped through hole in the curtain: The
audience had just commenced to assemble. She re-
sumed her reading.
'Of your voice. You are indeed beautiful and
charming and happy are they who may approach
you. What would not give to be near you always
Would the treasure of all the world be worth one Of
your smiles? NoH
'Ah that is NICE she sighed; and, turning the
page, she continued.
No, and yet | dared to love you,-to tell you
that love yOu-still more. | venture to beg you
not to reject my homage
He begins to explain hmself,' said she to herself,
and shall know'-and she continued - my hon.
age If this expression of my love does not offend
you. place this bouquet of violets in your bosom.
Oh then shall be the happiest of menH
WeIl,' said she, no signature-no name given;
but let us see, here is postcript'
P. S.-If you curious to know who writes
you, look up at the fourth ter-any legs as'N hang
OUer.
The note dropped from the hands of the actress,
and her arms nearly dropped from her shoulders
