Kansas.

In the constitution there is a provision for a
complete banking system. II decides that the
capital shall be 5000, 900, and there shall be
four branches, two OH each side of the Kansas
River. The convention declared the bank
charter granted for banks in Kansas, last
winter, as null and void. In debating this
proposition, 1t came out that in making out a
bank Mt Lecompton, last summer, it was
necessary, in accordance with the charter, to
exhibit capital of 1000 This was done
by borrowing $1,000, End putting it in two
bags. While the Governor counted one of the
bags at q time the other was carried out and
Wrought in again. and this was done until
$4,000 We're counted and certificates obtained.
The State election under this constitution is
to he held on the first Monday in January
The Senate is to be composed of 10 members,
and the House of 45. No one shall be Govern
or who has not been Il citizen of the United
States for 20 years.

FossILs-It is a curious fact that among all
the fossils of extinct plants or animals, no re-
mains have ever yet been found of man :
tending to confirm the Scriptural assertion that
this most perfect of organized beings was not
produced till the earth had been replcnishcd
with the plants and animals that now flourish
on its surface. The fact of this agreement
between the Mosaic Record and scientific dis
coveries is not only of intense interest, but
strikes at the root of the Atheistic notion of
the eternity of the world, by showing u sue
cession of creations. BY harmonizing the de-
tails of Genesis with those of Geology, a finish
ing touch is put TO one Of the noblest
and most delightful investigations open to
mankind.

sooner or later are they sure to come.

KEArs.--Thc genius of Keats was no particu-
lar development, no mere sentimental rapture
thrilling in melodious flute notes at the sight
of the beautiful, but his mind was at once
mighty in its strength and symmetrical in its
proportions the two sides Of the intellectual
arch, reason and Imagination, supporting and
balancing each other. When Keats died at
twenty four, the grave closed over one OF the
greatest men of his age.

In New Orleans, recently, a fierce tom cat and
bulldog were pitted against each other for a
wager of S25. The brutal and disgusting
spectacle was witnessed by a large crowd OF
some as high as $3.50. After bloody contest,
in which the cat was torn almost to pieces and
the dogs eyes scratched away, the former was
declared the victor. The dog was put out Of
misery by a pistol shot, and the cat soon
afterwards died.
