pertaining to the profession of the law,
Settling here in August, 1854, and being
editor Of the "Kanzas Free State" which
was destroyed in Lawrence, May 2lst,.
1856, he is well posted as to the best
places for investing money on speculation,
and as to the true condition ofmaay con-
tested claim cases, and will faithfully at
tend to any business of that kind.
N. B. That his Office of Judge of Probate
does not prevent him practising in all other

Upon Choosing a Wife.

Young man, a word in your ear.
When you choose a wife, don't be
fascinated with a dashing creature,
fond of society, vain, artiStical, and
showy in dress. You do not want u
doll or a coquette for partner
Choose rather one of those retiring,
modest, sensible girls, who have
learned to deny themselves, and pos
sess some decided character. But
above all, seek for good disposition.
No trait Of character is more valuable
in female than the possession of o
sweet temper. Home can never be
made happy without it. 1t is like
the flowers that spring up in our path
way, reyiving and cheering US. Let
q man go home ut night, worried and
WON by the tolls of the day, and how
soothing is word dictated by q
good disposition 1t is sunshine
falling ON his heart. He is happy,
and the cares of life are forgotten.

The chief talk yesterday was the great diversity Of
views Of buyers and sellers Of cotton. There are
great differences TO be recopcled before large rausac
tons can be made. The next intelligence from
Europe may go far towards producing It but should
an advance be quoted then factors will enhance their
rates. and buyers, or the Bears, again hold back. If
on the other hand decline should be announced
(Which we, not ourselves, antiepate) then buyers
may or may not operate, but whatever they do, they

deem Il safe to encourage high figures, even under
the presest low estimates Of the crop.
Business 10 Western produce is tnctured with some
life and animation. There is good demand for the
adjoining States for most every description. Sales are
made for ready money which is not the case in New
York and Boston, where O. and months credit is
given. We observe the sales Of cotton in New York
on four months credit. What would planter of
Louisiana or Mississippi say II bis factor or merchant

The shipments Of cotton, which have been made on

towards depressing the foreign market the scarcity

Manchester spinners is overlooked, as when we scan
the list OF failures in England we scarcely find cot
