KANsAs-It is incredible that there can
be cabal with hardihood enough to attempt
to resuscitatc the Lecompton Constitution,
with a design of still imposing it upon the
people of Kansas. But letter from an in
teligent and reliable source in the Terrific
ry, to the -. Louis Democrat, says such a
party exists among the Lccomptonites in
Kansas. II says:
They hold that the LccOmpton Constitu-
ton is not dead; that it is the duty of the
Administration, in compliance with the
pledges that gave il power, To drag up the
LecOmptOn Constitution once more, and, us
suming that the people of Kansas merely
voted down the ordinance. pass that rejected
Constitution with the ordinauc as framed by
the Convention. In this they are in earnest.
Some of them freely state this a. ii they
knew that such is really the design of the
Administration. Others take the ground
that Buchanan must do So, or lose all the
prestige he has gained with the South. That
il i their design to coercc the Nationals =
into such II position if they should hesitate.
On the other hand, there are many pro-Slave-
~ men, and men who call themselves
Democrats without taking definite ground
for or against slavery here, who see the ut

tempting to continue the same game that
has been practiced i'll Kansas

An Extraordinary Character.


The st. Louis Republican records the death
of an oId-man in that city, and in regard to
his life furnishes the following:
.'Many years ago Barren Frederick Won
Oertcl, whose family was one of the most in
dependent and aristocratic in Saxony, fell in
love with a poor girl aud determined TO
marry her. He thus incurred the displeas-
ure of his wealthy father, who, on learning
of the proposed alliance, at once disinherit-
cd the young nobleman and turned him from
his doors. This sudden reverse exasperated
and maddened the lover, and bidding a ST.
lent farewell to the home of his childhood,
and without informing the object of his af-
feetion, he bent his course To this country
On arriving here, he Joined the u. :. Army,
and served ten years as q soldier. 1t is said
that his bravery and true heroism on the
fields of Mexico won the admiration of all
who had opportunities to observe them.
At the expiration of the ten years service
he returned to Germany to ascertain how
the estate of his family was managed. He
found that bis parents were in their graves,
and that the property was distributed equal
ly among his brothers and sisters, himself
being wholly overlooked and disrcgnrded in
the VIII. To add to his dark fortunes, he
asccrtaincd that the girl who was the inno-
cent cause of his ruin, had married and
moved away.
Won Ocrtcl'S mind never fully recovered
from the shock this intelligence had created.
Wandering in reason, he returned to the
United States, and came to ST. Louis. Here
he was prostrated by violent sickness for
some months. When he cOnvalesccd he
found himself entirely destitute ofmeans. His
pride was thoroughly broken down, and, for
livelihood, the Baron actually took to selling
bretZels, kind of pastry much in favor
with the Germans. He continued at this
paltry, but honest business, for sixteen or
eighteen years. and gained the appcllation
of "Bretzel Fritz"
Three years ago, having saved up the
snug sum of 5000, and having met one of
the opposite sex in whom he thought he
could contide, and whom he believed would
make him good and faithful wife, though
she was several years his junior, Won Oer!el
was married. One day few months after
ward, on going home with his basket, he
foud that his wife had cloped with a seducer
and not content with bringing her husband
to disgrace, had taken his money aad every
thing of any value about the house, leaving
him the posscsSor of basket of bretzclS and
a diShonored hearth. The old man, for he
was now fifty-three years of age quietly
bore his new grief and again, with perhaps
an imprecation on the false one, addressed
himself to the one great task of his life
forgetting.
..Bretzel Fritz" has been well known in
St. Louis-a wrinkled, slow-paced, stoop-
ing old man with his basket on his arm and
rarely a smile on his face. In the last three
( years he has laid away S4oo, the profits OF
: his little business.

y WATER LoCoNoTIvE.-Accordin to the
New York Lockport Courier, Daniel Winer,
of that village, has been for some months
engaged in the building of "water loco
motive which the Courier says, made a
successful trial on Saturday. Its main fe:.-
lures is that of floating locomotive which
moves upon the water the same as the loco
motive on the railroad track. The engine
and the wheels are built so as to float save
the wheels enter the water sufficiently TO
propcl the boat forward they move. The
inventor claims that boat constructed on
this plan can be propelled with greater ease
and faster than the railroad engine, and that
ii is peculiarly adapted TO canal navigation,
as in going thirty miles an hour it would
not raise as much swell rs an ordinary con-
structed steamboat would in going five.

Fat Men.

Sir John Potter, the successor of Mr..
Bright, for Manchester in the House of
Commons, weighs about $50 pounds, and is
the largest member of that body. I'm de-

Ners says:
Never since the first man was created
was there 1--WE are persuaded) such disc on
human shoulders. To be comprehended it
must be seen. And what double chin he
has! Why bird might build her nest on
that coign of vantage. The only face we
ever saw like Sir Johns, and that was long
since, belonged to a grazier, who once at the
asszes of a country town, planted himself
one smoking hot day in front of Judge
Park, where he sat pcrspiring and wiping
his face until the frctful Judge could bear
the sight no longer. Throwing down his pen
he called out "Fat man, do get out of the
way; you make one hot to look at you"
\ fatter man than Sir John has recently
died in upper Georgia. The Savannah Netrs
says:
One of our city physicians has handed us
an extract from letter written him from
a professional brother in the upper country,
describing somewhat singular case, we be-
