How THE LADIES DRESS IN KANSAS
A Kansas le:ter-writer, who recently
came down the Missouri on the steamer
Omaha, says:
"At Atcbison, we took on young
Kansas belle, whose only attendant was u
young Missouri blood. The young Ia
dy was apparently dressed in The latest
agony and style offashion the chaste
straw hat, the innumerable flounces, and
wide-spreading hoops of her gay striped
silk dress, set off her commanding figure
very gracefully. Her stature tall-as
Byron says, l hate dumpy woman. But
the richest scene in relation to this
young belle was behind the curtain, and
is to come yet. At Lavenworth our
fair one left us, an as she was standing
on the bank casting last, long, linger-
ing look back, we were tempted to ad-
mire her delicately turned ankles-'who
can resist a nicely laced gaiter or peep
ing ankle ?'-when, behold she hadn't
any stocking on am unable to say
what the fashion is in kansas-whether
it is fashionable for ladies to go without
hose or not ; but certain l am that the
finest dressed one whom I sam in the
Territory didn't use the article"

seriously.
Mrs. WI just thought I would

If the times were no beltsr.
Mr.. W.-Now that sounds like sense.
Ny dear, you make me feel light heart
ed, for to tell you the truth, it is the
very thing wanted to propose to you
but l didn't know how to do it. You
women have such way. The fact is,
my dear, we must retrench, and no mis-
take about it.
(Wiggins swallows his muffin whole,
and empties his coffee cup at a gulp,
with immense satisfaction in his coun-
tenance.)
Mrs. WI knew you would not OBJ

Mr.. W.--Object ! catch me objecting
to any thing you propose.
Mrs. W.-Well, my dear, I can
save you fifty dollars on one article

Mr.. W.-Good.
Mrs. Wand if you can save fifty
in something else. we shall bs just a
hundred dollars richer.
Mr.. Why love. you ought to 60

pose saving this sum?
Mrs. W.--Well, you know I must
have new dress this week. and instead
of paying for it hundred and fifty
dollars. l propose to take advantage Of
the times and buy one that will cost but
hundred.
Mr.. w. tries to speak. but failing in
the attempt, he rushes from the house
without even kissing Mrs. w., as he had
always done before.

upon that measure. He says:
Kansas, as connected with the slave

is the public lands within her borders
which makes Kansas interesting to
political traders at this time. I never

Sitting tonight in my chamber,
A bachelor frigid and lonely,
I kissed the end Of my pipe stem,
That, and that only.
Revcr;es rise with the smoke wrcaths,
Memories tender surround me;
Girls that are marr;cd-or buried,
Gather around me.
School girls in patslctts romping;
Girls that have grown to be misses,
Girls that liked to be kissed, aud
Liked to give kisses.
Kisscs-wcll rem, mbtr them;
Those in the corner were deetcst;
Sweet were those ''on the sly;" those in the
Dark were the sweetest.
Anna was tender and gentle;
To WOO was almost to win her;
Her lips were as good as ripe peaches
And milk for dinner.
Nell was q flirt and coquettish;
'Twas-catch me and kiss If you can, sir,
Could I catch both-ah! wasn't

Anna has gone on . mission

Nell is widow, keeps boarders, and
Cooks her own dinners.

THE CA,,ax OF ,uE MurrnY IN INDIA.

The CArs. OF TIE MurIhY IN INDIA.
Our readers have no doubt heard and
read something of creased cartridges as
long as connected in some manner with
the present terrible matiny in India, but
we presume few have any clear idea or
defnit. knowledge ON the subject.
A regulation Of the British army for
loading require that the top of the cart
ridge shall be bitten off before it is put
into the musket, and the cartridge is
creased for the purpose of lubricating
the bore of the gun that it may be bet
ter rammcd home. The following event
occurred at a school Of rife practice
at Dunn Dunn in January 1857: A low
caste native, an arsenal labourer, asked
Sepoy of the 2l Granadiers to give him
drink out of his water vessel. With
the religious proprjety of Hindoo, tho
soldier refused, saying-'I have scour-
ed my lotah clean-you will detile it
with your touch The other retorted:
You think much of your caste but
wait awhile The Sahib -logue will make
you bite cartridges soaked in cow AMI
hog fat, and then wEere will your caste
be?' ........... ..'... st.
The Hindoos it will be borne in mind
have conscientious opposition to de-
filing their lips with cersain kinds Of fat.
This remark Of the soldier spread at once
through the native parts of the army.
accompanied by all kinds of cxaggera-
tions, and although every effort was
made to counteract it, it proved impos-
sible. The feeling was inaamed by the
priests, and continued to spread until
the prejudices of the Sepoys had reach
ed height beyond control. On the 26th
of February tie 10th Regiment being
ordered to parade for exercise with
blank ammunition, refused to receive it,
on the ground that they had doubts
about the paper, which was reported to
be creased with ''pig and cow fat
This established the muntiny. The re-
giment was disbanded. Soon after the
war Of Il Q soldiers upon their officers
and ct Hindooism upon Christianity
broke forth.-NH. Free Dem.

Journal. published at this place. We
regret it, as we do not like to pass a
brother craftsman without a friendly
shake of the hand. By the way, while
at West Union, We became acquainted
with the two Ainsworths. Mr.. L. l..
Ainsworth, who did write to the Er.
press d. Herald correcting some crro-
ncous figures Of the Journal. and Mr..
S. S. Ainsworth who did not write, but
who the types made appear to have
written the letter published in our col
umns. By the way, the Journal has
never made this correction.
We noticed in Tayette, as we rode
through, their seminary building. and
take the liberty of pronouncing it one of
of the finest school buildings in the
State.
Great changes have taken place in the
country of which we have so briefly
spoken, since 1854, yet we are of opin-
ion that they will be greater still in three
years to come. The iron horse will have
made his way across the river at Nc
Gregor, and traversed the beautiful
country through which We passed, in
creasing vastly its population, business
and wealth.
When that shall have been accom-
plished, the counties of Clayton, Win
neshiek and Fayette may successfully
vie with the oldest counties of the
State, and their continued prosperity
and the development of their great re-
sources will be rendered a certainty.
One word more to the business men
of Dubuque. In these counties of which
We have written. there is a valuable
trade which if you please to take the
pains, you can secure, and if you do
not, you can lose it. If you make the
effort now it is yours, and if not, you
will live to deeply regret it, for it is Sc
cond in value to none in the State. We
trust you will be wise in time.

Col. CoLr AND Russ1A.-In reference to the
difficulty already alluded to by us, between
Colt and Russia, we have from the Springfield
Republican ftrthcr details:
In 1856, Col. Saml Colt, Of Hartford, went
to Russia aud soon after his return entered
into a CONTRACT to deliver a large quantity OF
Minnie rifles at certain points in Russia. They
were not delivered, and he imputed the fault TO
that Government, and claimed a large sum as
damages. The Russian government consented
to submit the matter to arbitrators, to be chO-
sen from among his own countrymcn. and to
have the case tried at Hartford. Col Cooper.
