An HoNEsr KENTUt rAv.-The Paris (Ky.)
Western Citizen Of the Doth May, ~iHannouncing
the return of a Mr.. Sebree from the scene Of
outrage in Kansas, gives the following relation
on the authority Of that gentleman. 1t will be
read with interest as coming through a presum-
ed dismteI ested channel-at least one that has
no prepossessions ia favor of what the Rufiars
call "Abolitionisn:o
"Mr. Sebree says that large numbers of Mis-.
seurians are in the Territory, and that the sup
ply of them is only limited by the demand.--
The representation he makes Of the men who
compose the body Of the pro- slavery party, and
of their proceedings, is not very iattering to
them. He says that decent Southern men who
go there under no undue excitement, are asham-
ed of them, and he saw some such, whose
minds on the subject of slavery in Kansas had
undergone a complete change. The large
company of Southern cmigrants recruited in
Alabama by Major Buford, he represents as a
set of drunken ~loafers, many of whom
have died in consequence OF their vice andim-
prudence, and all Of whom are cursing the men
that induced them to go to the country. Mr..
Sebree says 1T is generally conceded, that of the
actual citizens of the Territory, tive to one are
in favor of a Free State, and that with the ex-
ception ola comparatively small number of
brawlers, they are quite industrious men, seek
ing to establish homes for themselves and their
They have been ou,numbered and
by the people from the borders of
Missouri, who have been organized for that
These are unpalatable truths for
Southern men, but the sooner the truth is known
the better. Mr.. Sepree thinks that the war

PRAISE OF

by Mr.. Oxtnford, from the French
Arnaud Gonfe, a renowned member Of tn
can Moderne, and q writer Of musical
mas. He was born in 1878, and died il
/. The following song is dated 1903.
At last, at last it rains,
The vine which was athirst
Its strength nee more regains,
BY heavenly bounty nursed.
So let your glasses clink
To water-gift divine,
IT'S water makes Us drink
Good wine.
Through water, friends, 'tis true,
The deluge once We had;
But thanks 10 Heaven, there grew
The good beside the bad.
Our grave historians think
The flood produced the vine;
'Tis water makes us drink
Good wine.
How great is my delight,
When, with their precious store,
The vessels are in sight,
Before my very door,
And on the rivers brink
Land juice from every vine:
It's water makes W drink
Good wine. .
The weather fine and dry
The miller drinks his fill
OF water with a sight
His mill is standing STILL.
When water flows, / think,
No longer he'll repine;
'Tis water makes him drink
Coed wine.
Another instance, yet,
Good Comrades, / can show;
See into your guing uette
The water-carrier 60.
His eyes begin to blink;
His troubles to decline;
1Tis water makes him drink
Good wine.
OF water while ! sing, E.
Pm thirsty with my task;
Be kind enough TO bring
A bumper from the cask.
Your glasses bravelysclink.
