Tbs VAR IN KANSAS. By G. Douglas Beaverton
Derby Il jackson.
Mr.. BreweIton belongs to that omniscient and
ubiquitous class Of which Mr. Russell the late Cri.
mean correspondent Of the London Times, Is good
sample-the rowing commissioners OF the newspa'
per press Composed, generally speaking of men
whose literary tastes have induced them to abandon
some other profession, they bring their previous
requirements and habits usefully to bear on their
new pursuit. Thus, circumstances necessitate,
we find them as ready to handle the sword or the
scapei the pen, and It not unfrequently happens,
in the case OF the distinguished English writer to
whom we have referred that they make, ANA
tours good soldiers or surgeons as those who are
regularly IN harness.
Mr.. Beaverton, whose military tastes and love of
adventure have already made him favorably known
to the American public went out to Kansas as the
correspondent OF one of the New YORK journals. Al
though he failed to lind there the excitement and
occupation for ais energies which he had specu-
lated upon, he noted enough to enable him to
collect materials for a lively and entertain
ing volume of roadside sketches. The "War in
Kansas so far As lis Importance goes might very
well have been compressed within the limits of
single chapter and indeed bat for the fact that our
author thinks it necessary Justify the title of his
book b. occasional reference to it, could very well
have dispensed with it, 1t adds but very little to the
interest OF the work, the attraction of which lies
rather in the writers peculiar style and turn of
thought than in the subiec. matter Of his sketches
Still, great deal that Is novel and nteresting-more
particularly to intending emigrants-will be found
scattered through his pages. Being artist as
well soldier and writer, he has been successful
in giving graphic delineations of the many curious
incidents that befel him in his journeyings through
this wild region added to which, his stories are told
with so much relish and have such a stirring smack
of the camp fire in them. that his book cannot fail
to interest and those who have taste for the
semcivzed lie o f new settlements.

This picturesque individual held forth for some
time on the lack of attention exhibited by his con-
gregation to the Ten Commandments in general,
and 10 the minister in particular. He then pro-
ceeded in the following strain of indignant elo-
quence:-
