remember quoting the "dyine Williams to
you last February, apropos to the sudden appari-
ton of Summer in mdwinter, when We were sitting
at open windows, tanning ourselves and waging in
ternecine war with musketoes. But the Clerk of
the Weather has balanced his accounts now, and
the other part of the quotation thus applied to the
state ofthngs at that time has been painfully appli
cable since then; or, at least, if "hOary-headed
lrosts have not exactly fallen " in the fresh lap of
the crimson rose" untimely SHOWS have repOsed
themselves i'll the fresh lap OF the grass just in its
first tender greenth A yiler day than last Monday
and Tuesday is not often recorded in the calendar.
The walking was the most deestabe, and the houses
crowned and the Common rObed with white. But,
you know all about this, inasmuch as you have tho
first taste of the weather, as of most other public
matters and pass il along to us when you have done
with it. If you have the first taste of the singing
men and the singing women and of the actors aud
actresses and artists and artistic things before
have chance at them, il is but reasonable that you
should have the first taste of the snow storms too.
Shall you have good things, and shall not also have
evil thingsl
There is not much to tell you about. Our great

Whether Kansas is TO get the $4,000 which the
House has voted is yet uncertain. 1t has not yet
been acted on in the Senate and if it should pass
that ordeal It is by sure that Gov Gardner
will give II the finishing grace OF his valuable auto
graph. A large sum OF money. however, has been
privately collected, and placed at the disposal OF
Mr. Brown usually called of men Old Brown. Ii
s understood that this notorious individual who has
had the misfortune to incur the i'll opinion OF our tel

teered to manage the affairs of Kansas, and who
under indictment for treason against their peace and
dignity has been living retired but active life ID
this vicinity for some time. He rather expected
call from the Marshal of the District, and was pre-
pared 10 give him uneQuyocal manifestations Of his
appreciation of such Official courtesy. 1t is said
that be had so made his arrangements that he could
have assured the Marshal and twcnty-ono Of his
train of his high consideration in the short space Of
two minutes, before they could come near enough
TO offer him their hands. But for some reason or
other the Marshal torbore to offer him this mark
of attention.
| do not know the precise sum that has been
passed over to this concealed traitor One person,
l have been assured, contributed no less than
$1,000 So you will see that there are those here
abous who show their faith, such as II Is, by their
works. This money, believe, is not to DO muddled
away in relieving the distresses of the present SET
tiers, but to be employed in the eyangelzanon oi the
Border Rufians, should they again SET their isces
Llonward From the earnest concern which Mr.
Brown has maplfested for the spiritual welfare of
these sinners IN times past it is believed that the
dispensation of this missionary fund could not
be placed in better hands
Theodore Parker's bodily health, / am sorry

it to be. His case, l should Judge, is one that
