TO Apprentices,

When serving your apprenticeship,
YOU viii have time and opportunity to
stock your mind with useful information.
The only woytor a young man to prepare
himselffor usefulness, is TO devote himself
to study dwing his leisure hours First,
be industrious in your business; be iru.
gal; be economical; never complain that
you are obliged to work; 90 10 it witt
alacrity and cheerluness, and it will be-
come habit which will make you re.
spected and beloved by your master or
employer; make it your business to see
to and promote his interest by taking care
of his, yoa will learn to take care Of your
own. Young men Nt the present day are
too fond of getting rid Of work. They
seek for easy and lazy employments, and
frequently turn out poor, miserable vaga.
bonds, You must avoid all wishes to
live without labor; labor is blessing in.
stead OF curse; it makes your food,
and every other thing necessary,
and trees you from temptation to be dis.
honest.

The Legislature.

The State Legislature took recess on
Saturday last until the 4sh of July next,
after passing several bills, and appoint
ing committee of twenty persons to
codify the laws, and repor. them to the
Legislature at its re.assembling in July.
The labor of preparing a code worthy
of our new State will be very great. For
this reason it was thought better to give
plenty of time to the work. More de-
liberation is usually employed on small
committees than large ones; this of itself
would justify the plan adopted. The best
legal talent of the State has been appoint
ed on the committees, and we feel assured
code will be prepared which will serve
as model of legislation for many years

Correct Position.

The Cincinnati Columbian, which has
always seemed to take a wrong view of
Kansas affairs, closed very sensible ar
ticle short time since as follows, which
for correctness, will commend itself to
every reader. Speaking of the Free
State party, it remarks:
"They have right to prepare them.
selves for emergencies. If they have
reason to fear that their lives or liberties
are in danger, failing in that protection
which is due them from the constituted
authorities, they have the undoubted
right to prepare for their own defence.
They have the right to buy Sharp's rifles
or any other rifles, and if molested in the
enjoyment of the rights of law-abiding
citizens, they have the right to use them.
The little cabin on the prairie should be
every inch castle, as it's owner, while
within it, should be every inch king.
Having these rights, the Free State
men should preserve them, but they
should not put themselves in such posi-.
ton against law and Government, as will
deprive them of the sympathies of their
best friends, or expose them to legal at.

Their Genealogy.


A bill has passed the Senate of Vir-
ginia, appropriating $1,000 year for
five wears, to enable the State Historical
Society TO procure from England manu-
script copies of documents and letters,
relative to the early history of the Old
Dominion.-Er.
Among other records we hope they
will copy those in relation to the shipping
ofcriminals, paupers, and other idle and
dissolute persons, to that State, when a
colony, and selling them for tobacco to
the planters. They were the most de-
graded population in England, and now
constitute the F. F.'s of that State
Their descendants have settled in Mis-

An Important Item.

Last year friend of ours pIowed sew

the sod about four inches deep: This
he planted with corn, and realized eight
hundred bushels of sheiied corn. worth
$500. 4 neighbor on claim no way
inferior to that of our friend. claimed
that there was an error in plowing 50
deep that more shallow plougghlng
would ensble the turf to rot sooner, and
would not be so fatiguing on the team.
The result was, he turned over forty
acres, piowing it about two inches deep,
and planted it with corn. His crop was
only fit for feed, and he supplied himself
with corn from the crib of our friend,
who plowed deep. The former argued
that in plowing deep the earth was better
qualified for resisting the protracteo
Edrouth common to this climate in tht
summer, and his experience proved tn
correctness of his theory. An excellen
communication on deep plowing

Speaking Out.

The Detroit Free Press, Gen. Cass's
organ, speaking of the laws enacted by
the bogus Legislature of Kansas, and of
Pierce's proclamation. says:
s'The President should pause long be-
fore treating as Unreasonable insurrec-
ton" the action of those inhabitants OF
Kansas who deny and repudiate the
binding authority of the lawsof the Mis-
souri, Kansas Legislature. For, in our
humble opinion, people that would not
be inclined to rebel against the acts of a
legislative body forced upon them by
fraud and violence would be unworthy
the name of American. If there was
ever justifable cause of popular revolu-
ton againsta a usurping and an obnoxious
government, that cause has existed in
Kansas"

Mr.. Wade is Republican on whom the
country can stake high, and be sure OF

him as an "abolitionist. 2 thinking there
by to frighten him from duty. After
having rebuksd those sneering remarks
on several occasions, and finding it was a

casion, in reply to the contemplate
sneer:

fool who uses the expression to iniure an
opponent, will sinkthat low ina political

Undotng the Work

Wednesday, in The House of Repre-

Committee on Territories, presented a
bill proposing partial correction Of the
existing laws of the Kansas Legislature
The bill declares void the '.Act to pun

that portion OF an act which provides for
Indians voting in the Territory. Mr..
Grows bill also enacts that the inhabit-
ants of the Territory shall not be requir-

Murder of a Negro.

A black man, belonging to the estate
of Jabez Smith. of Independence, Mo-,
was brutally murdered few. days ago.
The black man had a wife and thirteen
children. He had been sold several
times to go South, but had refused to be
arrested on that account he still re-
manned in Independence. On the day
of his slaughter be was invited into a
store, and while there an attempt was
made to handcuff him, but he broke
away from his pursuers. and fled into the
street. He was followed and fred upon,
several shots hitting him in the leg,
shoulder. de-, and one passed through
his body in the region of the heart. He
fell, and then was overtaken and kicked
by his pursuers. They inquired if he
would give up. mot" was the re.
sponse and the kicking and beating was
continued til. after life was extinct. Du.

son who attempted to stop him in the
street, and this was the reason given fol

who was in independence at the time
