place among the brawnv Irish digscrs. lie
watched him awhile, ahd soon something
about his shovel not working right. heard
him calculate a mcurnful expression in Latin.
Mr.. ii. Immediately replied to him in the

Mr.. Hall found his name to he Lconhardt,
and that he was Prus>ian of fine education.
and that previous to the Hungarian rebellion
he had been connected with one of the mos.
distinguished Prussian seminaries Being a
friend and coadjutor of kossuth, he was
obliged to flee from his native country, and
circumstances had now compelled him to la

home in Kansas Territory. There he has al

has taken an active part in measures propos-
ed by the Free State Party. At the Topeka
Mass Convention on the 9th inst. he was
prominent actor, and, it is said, "took the
crowd by storm, as he spoke the sentiments
o. his constituents, and in his broken En-
glish, and with clear voice, alluded to the
revolution in Europe, with Louis Kossuth

The clergyman said no more, but proceeded
with prayer. He had finished and taken up
the book to give out the second hymn, when
