The following 10 from Ben Pitman's Reporter for

state that nine out Of ten days verbatim reporting

In the trial Of Kendall at New Orleans last winter
Mr. Longley was employed to report the trial, and
wrote to me at the time that Mr. r. c. Kerr takes
my report and writes it out for the press without
having heard word Of trial" There we're no
photographic compositors at that time in New
Orleans. Had there been they could as well have
could have written long hand, unless, indeed, as it
likely was the case in some instances, the lam
guage required revising.

JOHN.

KANSAS AFFAIRs.-A despatch from St Lon
is, evidently manufactured By the border ruff
fans, says that Sheriff Jones was convalescest
on the l4th. Judge Fame. of Georgia, had
been appointed Sheriff, until Jones should re-
sumo his duties. 1t was reported that Judge
Fame had been shot at twice.
George T. Brown, editor of the Herald of
Freedom, has been arrested while endeay oring
TO leave the Territory. Gov. Reeder had fed
but il was thought would bc re-captured..
1t was said there were 500 men at Law
renee. armed with Sharp's rifles, with a strong
ly fortified breastwork and two pieces of artil-
lery, who declare that they will resis, all at
tempts at their arrest.
About 600 men have responded 10 the mar
shal's proclamation, and ars encamped in the
vicinity of Lawrence and Leccmp,cn, the a
vowed purpose being to compel the people of
Lawrence 20 acknowledge the territorial laws
a despatch from Washington states that the
Kansas Congressional Commission forwarded
by Gov. Robinson, Il large quantity of testi
mony taken by them, enclosing il in scaled
package addressed TO the Speaker. On Gov.
Robinson's detention at Lexington, Mo-, his
wife, at his request, continued her journey.
At Columbus, Ohio, she handed the package
to the Hon. e. h. Watson, one Of the Com
mittce on Elections, who delivered it TO the
Speaker privately.
The Commissioners request that il may re-
main with the seal unbroken until their re-
turn. This is the testimony which it is said
the Missourians threatened to destroy.
The LccomptoD Union, a Kansas pro slavery
paper, of the 8th, confirms the telegra phic re-
port that Reeder, Robinson, and other Free
State men, have been indicted by the Grand
Jury in the United States District Court foI
the First District of Kansas. They acted un-
der the instructions of Judge Lecompte.

EvERMORE.

The streamlet murmured soft and low
neandering mid the shadowing trees
And az its gentle tone arose
Uplifted by the slightest breeze,
/ eat upon moss grown stone,
That served the streamlet for a shore,
And bent my ear to catch the tone
AS low it whispered, 'Evermore"
And mid the flowers and through the glen,
With careless haste it passed along,
Nor lurking back the rocky steep,
Could etay the cadence of its song;
rainbow sat upon the spray,
The messenger of harm no more;
The water bounded on its way,
And still repeated .'Evermore"
The streamlet grew a mighty tide
Fed by a thousand mountain rills
And mirrored in its moving waves
The forest of thousand hills
But as the boatman chants his song
Timed tc the plashing of the oar,
Tuneful notes the waves prolong.
And echo sweetly, 'Evermore."
SO, soft and low in early days;
so, roughly tost in youthful strife
go, broad and deep in later years,
Flows on the Fastening stream of life
Our bark afioat, the current strong,
We drift not slowly towards the shore,
And each fresh gale that watts along,
Repeats more clear the startling song,
List. list, what means it :? "Evcrmore.''

ORIGIN OF A CURRENT ApAGE.-All of our
readers have doubtless heard the saying that
Shine tailors make man" Possibly, how
ever, some of them would like TO know the or
igin of the saying. Here it is -
sin l742 an orphan beggar boy appeared
for aims at tailor shop in London, in which
nine iourneymen were employed. His forlorn
but intelligent appearance touched the hearts
of the tailors, who gave hun a shilling each.
With this capital the young hero purchased
fruit, which be retailed at profit. From this
beginning, by industry and perseverance, he
rose TO distinction and usefulness. When
his carriage was built, he caused to be pain
ted on the pannel, Mine tailoTs made me
man.

RELIGION AND PoLITICs.-The Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post says ':that if politics
are so bad that religious men and ministers
can not mingle in them without detrmcnt to
themselves and their holy cause, there is so
much the more reason for their reformatory
work. Most of those persons who are shocked
that ministers will occasionally ssprcach poll
tics." or apply great religious principles to the
administration of the government, or because
clergymen manifest an interest in moral and re-
ligious questions upon which political parties
are also divided, are usually persons OF very
bad politics-cemmonly both. Men whose pol
itics will not bear the test of Christian princi-
pies are very apt to scof at any suggestion of
comparison; and men whose religion is a
housed-up Sabbath idol, never to be thought
Of or reguarded on a week day, or applied to
any of the business of life, undoubtedly will
have a holy horror of making religion a prac-
teal thing

TIE FRENCH DocToRs have discovered that
ice is safer and better to use in surgical opera
tions than chloroform. BY the application of
pounded ice and common salt to the diseased
parts, thus causing numbness and insensibil-
ty, a Surgeon lately succeeded in removing a
large tumor without giving the patient any
pain, and occasoning very little loss of blood.
The only Inconvenience was, that the Doctor
froze his fingers.
