Indian Wit.

Rev. Mr.. Johnson, Methodist preacher
in Kansas, mas achieved considerable poht-
cal notoriety by his efforts to make Kansas
a slave State. He is Missionary there
among the Indians, sent by Them to the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. The
effect which his course on the slavery ques-
ion has had upon his flock is happily illus
rated by the following anecdote, related BY
Rev. Mr. knight of Kansas, at the meeting
of the American Congregational Union last
eeek in New York:
At meeting held short time ago at The
Shawnee Mission, he (Johnson) requested
one OF the converted Indians to speak, but
he refused for long time, although at last
lie was prevailed 10 do 20. The Indian said
that he felt considerable reluctance in saying
ANYTHING in consequence Of u dream which
he had had, and which had troubled him
greatly. His dream was that he died and
vent 10 he'll, and after he had been in that
,loIeful region some little time, Mr.. Johnson,
their missionary entered. The moment he
made his appearance-and he related it just
as it was told to him by Mr.. King, theinter-
preter-his satanic majesty immediately
twisted off his tail, which he supposed was
scepre Of supremacy, and handed it over to
Johnson, telling him, Nov take it. Johnson
Il am no longer master here.

A FATAL DUEL.-The Baltimore Sun
states that on Saturday last duel was
Ought on the line of North and South Car
olina. between Dr. Wilkins and Mr.. Flanner
commission merchant, both of Whining
ton, n. c. On the first fire the ball OF the
latter cut off part of the Doctors ear; the
second fire put the ball through the Doctors
hat! Nothing daunted, the latter cody re-
marked that his hat was new one, and de-
sired that it should not be aimed at. The
seconds here enterposed and used their best
endeavors to reconcile the difficulty, but
without success. The contestants then re-
sumed, Rhen the ill-fated Doctor was killed
at the first fire. The quarrel originated on
political grounds.

The VVeIland Canal and hallway.

A subscription list of 100000 has Just
been completed in London towards the con-
struction Of a railway, twenty four miles in
length, by the side of Welland Canal, con
Meeting Lake Eric with Lake Ontario. The
Welland Canal was originally formed to
prevent the Erie Canal which unites Lake
Erie with the Hudson and New ork, from
diverting the western trade of Canada from
its natural outlet to the Atlantic, by the st.
Lawrence. Subsequently the construction
of tho New York Central Railway, on the
banks of the Erie Canal, has given new
speed TO that route, which enables it to
draw away the traffic in question, or at least
a valuable portion of it which is suitable for
railway conveyance. To regain it the Pro
vincial Legislature have authorized the
Port DalhOusie and Thorold Railway to ex-
tend their railway to Lake Erie on the
banks of the Welland Canal; and the Hon.
William Merritt, who was in England in
1928 as the agent of the latter enterprise,
has again just visited London, and returns
in the Persia, having succeeded in raising
the required capital from among the origi-
nal shareholders ofthe WelIand Canal the
members of the Canada Company, the share
holders of the Grand Trunk Railway, and
others. The total cost of the line is to be
about f175,000 currency.--LiUerpoOI

ARAzoNIA BRIEFLY DEsCRIBED.-Aw want
of water, a scarcity of soil, an excess Of
gravel, superfuity of serpents, and pau
city of population, are the Distinguishing
characteristics of that portion of the Gads-
den Purchase proposed to be erected into
a Territory now, and into a State soon aft
er, under the name of Arazonia F. A.
Cook is the amateur delegate about the
House of Representatives, of these serpents
in excess and people in deficiency. Behind
him are the engineers of new scheme fol
a new State, and two new United States
Senators, friends ofthe South. The "Com-
promise" dodge will probably be tried on
this wretched offer of the wretched region, tc
enter the republican household. A portion
of California will be chopped off and added
to it, to make its claim to be regarded as a
State less absured than it now is.
The ''whopper' that Arazonia has ten
thousand people in 1t, is equalled only by
the pretence that it has mines ofgold and
hills of gems. 1t has only thirst gravel,
snakes, centipides, cactus plants and misery.
Appurtenant to these are at the outside one
thousand Indians, Mexicans, and half breeds.
A State full of them would fester in any
political atmosphere. Such as they are
now, Jack Ketch would be their fittest Gov
ernor, and the Gallows their most saving in
titution.-AUaRy Journal.

What tho People Pay fhe sugar Planters.
"Inspector" writes to the N. Y. Courier

What tho People Pay the Sugar Planters.
"Inspector'' writes to the N. Y. Courier
and Enquirer as follows:
The importation ofsugarl last year amoun-
ted to S24,OOO,OOo, on which the duties
amounted to $7,2OO,OoO. This sum was a
premium upon the production of the 12O,-
100000 of pounds furnished the general
consumption by Louisiana and Texas, the
value of those crops was not more that ST.
500, 600, or nearly the exact amount paid
by the people each year for the protection
of the staple.
We notice that Schuyler Colfax has given
notice of the introduction of bill abolish
ing the duty on sugar. In all the recon-
mendations by the Secretary of the Treas
ury for reduction of the tariff, not syllable
is limited at sugar. The interest of less
that three thousand sugar planters must cast
its shadow upon every breakfast and tea
table in the land in the shape of tax upon
every sip of coffee or tea, but that tax must
not be touched, for it sustains two thousand
five hundred slave holders.
Let petitions 60 forward from every
School District asking the repeal of this tax,
or let the people make up their minds to
give up sweetning in their tea, coffee, pies
and cakes.

Mr.. SHERMAN AND Mr.. GDDINGs.-The
o. S. Journal, speaking of the speeches Of
these gentlemen, pays them this merited
compliment:
They are both good, very good; and they
exhibit the slight shade of difference which
exists between the Republican conservative,
and the Republican radical. Mr.. Sher-
mans onslaught on the message of the Pres
ident, is terrific; Mr.. Gidding's appeal to
the consciences of men, for the God-given
rights of oppressed humanity, is sublime
We should give thanks that Ohio has such
men in Congress. They are working out a
great problem in the history and civilization
of the human race. Travelling different
roads, but ending at the same point.

speaking of the recently discovered negro
plot, says:
"The crimes contemplated should be
atoned for precisely as though those crimes
had been attempted and consumated. Fear
full and terrible examples should be made,
and, if need be, the faggot and the flame
should be brought into requisition to show
these deluded maniacs the ferceness and
the vigor, the swiftness and completeness OF

example be made in every neigborhood
where the crime can be established, and if
necessary, let every tree in the country bend

The Governor of Florida, who is SO bold

about secession and civil war as fippantly

though New York could swallow up so just

Power OF CAR BRAKEs.-Brakes cannot
stop train of cars instantly. If applied
too tightly, thoy "lock the wheels" but they
cannot prevent the whole from slipping on
a smooth track. At a speed of six miles
per hour train will slide nine feet; at TWEEN

Of sixty miles per hour train will slide, in

Of nine hundred feet, or over one sixth of a

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells the fol
lowing story ofthe rare benefit of lazincss:
A few years ago our hero, who was about
the LATEST man in the country, became pos
sessed of some property in Chicago. Too
indolent to take care Oft, he gave directions
to have it sold, and did ACTUALLY dispose Z.
it at various times, bit acas too lazy to make
out the deeds. Meantime the property in
creased enormously in value, and the delays
caused by the mans laziness placed him, at
the end of a few years, in the possession of
an estate worth 100000, for which at the
first he would gladly have accepted $780,
900.
