glad to see you again
Perhaps you may said Mr.. Wolfe, and
the strangers departed.
Five months afterwards, as the mechan
lc, whose means were quite limited, sat in
his Office meditating how hard it was to
get business by such large establishments
as were his competitors, the two strangers
entered. He gave them hearty welcome,
handed chairs, and they set down.
I'VE come said Mr. Wolfe, with pro.
position to you from the Emperor of Rus
Sia.'
From the Emperor? Impossible?'
Here are our credentials
But gentlemen, said the now agitatsd
mechanic, what does this mean? How
have l earned such an honor?'
The mechanic visited St. PETERSBURG
and soon after moved the whole establish
ment there. He had imperial orders for as
many locomotive engines as he could CON
struct. He has lately returned to this
country, and is still receiving large returns
from his Russian workshops. And all the
prosperity grew out of his unselfsh clyilii-
ity to two strangers, one of whom was the
secret agent of Gar of Russia.
Simply by your straightforward courte-
sy and frankness, combined with profes-
sional intelligence said Mr.. Wolfe. Be
cause we were strangers, you did not
think necessary TO treat us with distrust
or coldnsss. You saw that we were in
earnest in acquainting ourselves with your
works and did not ask us, before extend
ing to us your civilties, what letters of in
PRODUCTION we brought. You measured
us by the spirit we showed, and not by the
dignities we could have exhibited

the course of a journey he stopped ono
evening at the little town Of Luxembourg,
The burgomastcr came forward to do him
honor, and by the way of complimenting
him, mentioned that an aged man, a Mar
seillas, had performed the duties of school
master in the town for above twenty years.
Theirs asked the name of the old man,
and was answered Margas. The ex-minis-
ter desired to be introduced to him, when
the following dialogue ensued. Theirs
commenced:
DO you know me?'
No, sir
You don't remember little Adolphe

Theirs promised the old man he would,
and then enquired in a homely way, how
he was getting on.
Not very fast; scholars are rare
Thiers slipped a few pieces of gold into
his hand, and was about to retire, when
Margas said:
Pardon my curiosity; 1 should like to
know what you have heer doing. Are

rha Kansaa E1ection.

Another act in the Kansas Farce has been
played ont. The Free State men, consti-
tuting nine-tenths of the population of tho
Territory, refused to vote for q Free State
Constitution at the election, on the 2lst,
and the unavoidable consequence is that
the pro slavery minority, having little OPP
position, have carried the Slavery article.
Twice, now, rave the Free State, men
recessed to make Free State, when they
had an opportunity. Last june, not
w~ithstanding the imperfect census, Tim
perfect mainly becars, of their own dis
regard Of The laws and their own priv
iieges) they conld easily have secured a
majority Of the Constitutional Convention,
aud have had just such a Constitution
as they wanted. And again on the 2Ist.
thew could have voted slavery out of the
Constitution,=which you'd never have
been in it but for their refusal to do their
duty and thus have had a Free State
Constitution to present to Congress
Twice has the Administration of Mr..
buchanan surrounded the polls with the
sUnited States Army TO protect the Free
State majority, as we'll as all others, in
the peaceful discharge of the right of suf-
frage. It has all the time appealed to
them to come forward to the polls, and
do their duty as good citizens, under tie
laws of the land, and thus settle at once
and forever, the question that has split
the people ofKansas into warning factions;
and which d;sturbs the people of the
whole Union. It has given than ample
opportunity to do SO but all its efforts
and appeals lave been unayailing. The
Free State men WOULD Not vote. Pro-
Tossing all the time incorporating hos
tility to slavery in every form, they would
not avail themselves of the only practical
bic and peaeeable mode of securing the
object they say they have nearest their
hearts. The motive underlying all this
folly is too apparent to mislead any one.
Their first desire is to keep the matter
unsettled, for the purpose of furnishing
capital agai st the democratic party in
the Free States; and they make their
anti slavery sentiments subordinate to
that desire.
- Many will see in the result of this
election an additional reason for refusing
to recognize this Constitution. We see
the reverse. It must be now apparent
that we are not to have q settlement of
this eternal Kansas question so long as
any Color OF t4ouSt lemaIh5 lor keeping IL
open. Let Congress recognise this con-
stitution at once. By its provisions, and
under the forms Of a sovereign State Gov
ernment, tho people have a speedy and
