ABoL1fIoN OF SERrDoM / Russia
The FIRST steps for the emancipation of the
serf in Russia are soon to be polished
They include the following two great prin-
ciples:
i. Freedom of marriage. No serf can
be forced in future to marry against his
viii or prevented from marrying according
to his own desire.
q. No serf can be transferred from the
village to another against his or her win.
Tho remainder of the ukase is less impor-
tant. These two points, however, are
sufficient to recognize his rights as a man.
1t is likewise rumorcd that the pooer of
chastasing the serf will be circumscri6ed,
though not at once entirely taken out of
the hands of the landlord.
E[ Cincinnati, according to an esti-
mate of the Gazette, has a population of
244 600 inhabitants an increase in ten
years Of over $1,000. The value of mau-
ufactures and industry is set down at $780,
o00, 900.
Ct A French wit said of a man who
was exceedingly fat, that nature only made
him to show how far the human skin
would stretch without breaking,
* The greatest natural ornament
to the "humaA form divine" is unquestion-
able a fine, luxuriant, healthy growth of
hair. 1t has been so esteemed in all ages
of the world and among all nations, saw
age aud civilized. Hence, the Indian
brave regards the scalp of his enemy as
his greatest trophy. For a similar reason,
the fashionable belle often DISCUSSES the
region of vanity, as well as her other phrc-
biological organs with borrowed locks.
He who should discover a mode of pre-
venting thehair from showing the inroads
of e%nvious Time by turning prematurely
gray, a method by which it could be re-
stored when falling off or turning white.
and a way ofpromdting its continued and
luxuriant growth, would be justly entitled
to rank among the benefactors of the hu-
nan race. Read ethe testimonials in an

Kansas in the LegisIa.
ture of Ohio.

Gu Saturday last, Mr., PHELPS present
ed to the Senate of Ohio, the following
resolutions which, he stated, he was un-
animously authorized to submit as the
embodied views of the democratic mem
bers of the Legislature /:
"ResolVed, by the General assembly
of The STATE Of Ohio, That we have entire
confidence in the disinterestedness, the
integrity, and the ability of the present
Chief Magistrate of these United States,
our cordial and undivided support.
"ResoZUed, bat we still adhere to and
re-afirm all the doctrines of the Ciucin-
natl Platform.
"Resolved, That We regard the refusal
of the Lecompton Convention to submit
the Constitution framed By them to the
6onafde people of Kansas, as unwise and
unfortunate for the peace of that Terrific
ry, and we hereby declare it to be our
unalterable Judgment that every consti.
tuition of a new State, unless otherwise
directed by the people themselves, ought
to be submitted to the 6onoJde electors of
such Territory for their approval or re-
lection.
"Resolved, That our Senators in Con-
gress are hereby distracted, and our Rep
resentatiyes are hereby requested. to vote
against the admission of Kansas into the
Union under the Lecompton or any other
constitution that has not proceeded from
the people, by a clear delegation of pow
err to the convention, t. form and put in
operation such constitution, without a
further sanction of the people, or which
has not been submitted to and approved
by q vote of the people.
"Resolued, That the Governor be here
by requested to forward to zach of our
Senators and Representatives in Congress
a copy of these resolutions forthwith"
In explanation of the above resolu-
tions (which have not yet passed. VIC
have heard it said, that they were agreed
upon as a compromise by which certain
members elected as democrats, would be
dissuaded from aiding the Black Repub-
licans in getting up a f~actious agitantiou.
This, in our judgment, was q bad blunder
and affords an insufficient excuse for per.
hitting these resolutions to go forth to
the world as the united sentiment of the
Democracy of Ohio on the existing conde
ton of things in Kansas. Far better to
allow the Black Republicans, and any
who choose to aid them, to pass just sucl
resolutions as their meddliDg p~ropensitie;
spggust.
By what right the Legislature of Ohio
NEEDLES with the formation of a eonstitu
tion in Kansas. may we'll be a matter o
enquiry. Were Kansas already a State
democratic members of an Ohio Legisla
ture would at once perceive the impropri
ETY. of passing resolutions seeking to con
troll the manner in which its constitution
should be adopted. If the rights of
State are thus scrupulopsly recognized
and respected, why shall a Ter, ttory il
the very act Of forming for itself a funda
mental law for its government as a State
be bald subject to the modelling diotatiol
of every Legislature in the Union tina

"Ycs," roughly replied brown-faced
countryman, and passed on.
I 1t was afternoon. The child was some.
what frail in her appearance. Her bonnet
was of broken straw; her shoes were much
torn. The sun played hotly upon her ten
der forehead. She walked on and on an
hour longer.
"Is this tho way to Sing Sing.p
"Yes, little girl; but what arc you going
there for?"
The child trudgcd on, her lip quivcring
but not deigning to answer tho pleasant
faced old man who had stopped tho jogging
of his horse to note her hurried manner
and who liked that little face, anxious as its
expression was.
The dew was falling. A rough stone by
the way, imbedded in moss, relieved her tir.
ed little frame. She looked so wearied and
aged, sitting there, her tangled hair falling
on the hands that were clasped over heI
face. By the shaking of her frame, the tears
were coming too, and she was bravely try.
ing to hold them back.
"Whyl what is this dear little girl doing

"Did you ever! George, this child is 90

Katy shook her head, and wiped away
the heavy tears one by one.
"Why, you poor little goosel What ar,

Katy shook her head.
"Have you had your dinncrl"
Again the child shook hor head.
"No breakfasti Why, George, tho poo
