A ROBE DE CHAMBRE.-The Paris
Press thus relates an incident that hap
pened in that city, and caused great glee.
Mr., X, is married and the father Of a
charming girl. So on ST, Johns day.
which was also his birthday. the mother
and daughter made a present to Mr., X,
of magnificent robe de chambre, which
proved to have only. one defect, that Of
being too long by more than quarter of
a yard II was on Of the evening Of
the 23d Of June that they ascertained
this, and Madame x, who that evening
remained at home, while her husband and
daughter were at a party, TOOK the oppor-
tunily to shorten the robe without saying
word to anybody. i H' H'''l'
The next day Mademoiselle X, rising
very early, fastened with the sam direc-
ton, to cut OF the bottom Of the garment,
which che thoughttoo long, and two hours
afterwards, when Mr.. x on getting up,
perceived th 9 robe do thomlrethrown across
a portm anteau, lie Immediately directed
his servant to take itquickly to the tailor
to take off the quarter Of q yard, which
lie thought was still on. Alas! when
they brought back the unfortunate gar
ment at dinner time, and Mr.. x. called
his friends to admire his present, lie found
that instead ofatquater ola yard. lit was
shorteuedsby nearly yard, and was no
longer robe de chansbre, but only vesi.
Imagine the laughter which ensued when
all was explained. However ii may be
imagined that neither Madame nor Nile.

0F We learn from Dir. TAToR. of Osa-
watomie, that that place is still making
considerable progress in the way of i'm
provement. A large hotel is in progress
of completion, which will probably be
opened in September. The general health
is good j; crops look well. Wheat has
been harvested, and was asuperior crop
Tri-weekly mails from Kansas City and
Westport, from Jefferson City, as also
from Lecompton and Lawrenes, and one
to Fort Scott. centers at that place be-
sides, weekly lines to Cofachique, Neosho
City and Emporia. A daily line of four
horse stages ply regularly between Kan
sas CITY and Fort Scott, stopping at Osa,
watomie. a steam saw mill is in opera
ton, and is doing good business. Messls
FAToR, WooD & CROUCH are about adding
a Touring mill. which they will have il
running order during the month of Sep
tember, which will enable them to supply
that whole country with the g'iuding o.
both wheat and corr. The merchants are
doing good BUSINESS, considering the
stringency of the times The travel i.
very heavy through the place to the south
ern part of the Territory. There is nj
doubt but this is the most important place
in that section of Kansas.

Another Homicide.

Mr.. TAToR, from Osawatomie, informs
US that on the first inst, JESSE B. WAY,
living five miles west of that place, was
killed by WM. MILLER, by stabbing. The
latter was laboring in the harvest field
Way called upon him, aud a quarrel arose
out of some old difficulties. During the
melee, w. snatched a pitchfork out of
Millers hand, then caught him by the
throat, and struck him several times with
his fist. Miller drew his bowie knife
and stabbed w. several times in the abdo-
men, killing him almost instantly. Coro-
ner HoLDRIDGE held a post naortens exami-
nation on his body. which probably resulted
in verdict of justifable homicide.
MILLER has been arrested and taken
before the authorities in Franklin county
for examination, but what the result of
the examination was we have not learned

The Administration


The corrupt powers at Washington
mean to force the issue-Lecampton or
nothing-wherever they can. Pennsylva-
MIA will be the battle ground. We are
ready" say our friends. We care not
how soon it comes " shout the people.
The Press filings its defiance into the
face of President Buchanan. 1t had ten
dered him the olive branch (; he brandishes
the unsheathed sword in its face. Take
Leeompton, or be with the opposition" is
his insolent demand. The Press an
swers
$50 let it be. Pennsylvania is to be
made the battle ground in October. She
was the battle ground in 1855. The
theater is the same-the actors the same,
and the principle the same, with the diff
ference that those who were elected to
Office upon that principle, now stand forth
| full armed against il. These latter have
many potent influences on their side. A
mass of patronage held out to mass OF
expectants; a host of dependents whose
bread is safe only as they defend the
wrong a Senate ready to reject or ratify,
! as Democrats are fair or false. But We
have great faith in the result. The peo-
pie are aroused. The public mind is fill
ed with light; the public heart with in
dignation. Ifthere was rapture in the
strife OF 1856. in honestly supporting an
honest creed what will Il bs in 1853
when that same creed, basely deserted,
implores for rescue and for champion

Old Rye,

VIM. Montgomery, member of Congress
from Pennsylvania. writes to a friend at
home President Buchanan drinks moth

I told him thai you used to have the best
that was distilled in our region, and he
made me promise to see you, and get him
some if YOU had it. Could you let me

best yon ever made? Write me. I will

The "old chief must have used a poor
article of 'old rye," since his residence in
Washington, else we cannot account how
he should have made such an ass of him.
