An Incident of TiaYel.

The table laid for dinner in the spacious upper
cabin of what in those days--for the occurrence
which we are about to relate took place many years
ago-was considered a first class river boat The
passengers were seated at their meal when swag-
gerng, devil-may-care fellow-who had spent his
time, since coming on board at Natchez under the
tering in from the social hall and took his place
at the board at the time drawing forth brace
of hair-trggered dnelling pistols which he cooked
and laid each side of his plate in such that
directly at the breast Of grayhaired merchant from
New Orleans, very quiet, unobtrusye sort of per-
| son. who sat opposite the gambler.
| Sir said the old man. " will you do rue the favor
to those pistols for it is impossible for me to
eat my dinner Comfortably when my life is endan
gered by the very careless manner III which you have
thrown down your weapons
To this mild remonstrance the person addressed
vouchsaed further reply than oath, coupled
with the intimation that q if the old fellow didn't
like it he might leave the calm but as for himself
he would not hit firearms to please the best
man that ever walked
Upon receiving this discourteous reply, the old
merchant uttered not word, but resumed his chair
from which he had partly risen, with the air of
man who had made up his mind to endure annoy
anGe which he could not prevent. In few moments
however, he raised his head, made signal to the
black man, servant of his own, who was attending
him, and gave some whispered order. The negro dis
appeared, entered the merchants stateroom by its
outer door, but Immediately returned to his place
beside his masters chair, where he stopped down,
produced something from behind his back, and placed
the articles, whatever they were, in the merchants
hands, as the old put them quietly back to grasp
what he had sent for. 4 moment more, and all were
electrified by seeing the old gentleman straighten
himself up, with cooked pistol in either hand which
he eveed full at the gamblers head, at the same in
slant calling out:
If you stir, Or dare to move finger, sir, you are
| q dead man.
Ho then motioned to the negro, who stood grinning
at his side: Tom said he, go round and take ap
that persons pistols, remove the caps, and lay them
in his birth in his staeroom, he won't need them, at
least until after dinner: As for you, sir, added he.
turning to the discomitted swaggerer, Tom liter
ally carried out his masters instructions, fancy
you will not be disposed to bully even an old man in
| future"
When the Screamer No. stopped to ''wood up,'
some two hours afterwards the gambling mani was

Bear the hero to bis grave,

Wei make his grave where Pilot Mound

That its proud waves, as on they how,

The glorious truth revealing:
-Tis better far to die like thee,

Then round thy grave We vow sffesh.
Hostility eternal,

And SiaEerJ's cause internal.
We breathe affesh our curse on those
Our fairy Southland blotting,
Who with their deeds Of wrong and shame
In infamy are rotting.
While our great horo's name shall rise,
With his far Kansas glory,
And millions Of her free born sens,
Shall proudly tell the story
sIow Dow and Brown and Barber bled.

And freedoms glory give her.

Awkward Position.

We understand it has been decided
at the Land Office that person who
has fled his intentions to pre-empt
public lands cannot convey his interest
IN such lands to another and fle his
intention and pre-empt in another
place. Such being the case those Who
have been specnlating in claims in
Kansas win be placed in rather an
awkward dilemma when they come to
prove up their pre-emptions. Besides
persons holding claims who have fled
Intentions on other lands are subject
to having their claims jumped at any
time.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-05-09

The trust lands of the Iowa, Wea.
DC, and Delaware tribes of Indians

next. There are about 95, 900 acres Of
the first. 214. 900 acres ofthe second, ,and
S45. .0e0. acres ofthe third named tribes

great variety of Stirring, or old Ground

Improved Clipper, the No. or Eng cast

Subsoil Plow, which should receive the es-
pecial attention Of those who wish TO raise

believe it is now perfect to be used on
Western soil. Also Corn Plows, Cultiva-
tors, double and single Shovel Plows, Roll
ing Cutters and Clasps, Gauge Wheels,
Truck Wheels, and ether Plow fixtures.
The quality of the stock used in my plows
is not equalled by any establishment in the
West, and the plows are finished in very
superior style.
Having been engaged for eighteen years
in the manufacture of plows for use in the
Western States entirely, can confidently
say to emigrants from the Eastern States,
that these plows sciU seeHr and work per-
