SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The Union makes some extracts from re-
cent debate in the British Parliament, As also
from an article of the Paris Patrte, to show that
the suppression Of the slave trade Is not the only
reason for the immense expenditure Of Great
Britain to keep feet upon the coast Of Africa;
but that she trusts by that means to maintain
. commercial supremacy in that quarter Of the
globe.
The Union, also, notices an article in the
Richmond Wing, relative to the expenses of
collecting the revenue; and concurs in the uni
versal expression of satisfaction at the igno-
minious defeat Of the junior Blair.
The Union further says that /" the results Of
the elections in Kansas leave no doubt of the
refusal Of the people to be admitted into the
Union on the terms proposed in the Conference
Bill of the last session." and continues: " 1t is
not surprising, the excitement of the past having
subsidized, that they should feel disinclined to
put on the babiliments of State. and incur, at
a moment of pecuniary pressure, the largely
increased expenses of an establishment of their
own. This result we do not regret. There is
no longer any reason for treating Kansas as ex-
ceptional to the general rule prevailing in
reference to the admission Of new States into
the Union

The CHIEF MoURNER. There is a
genius in this city, yclept Hatfield, who
has earned eputation in novel manner,
which will not greatly serve him in time
of need. The detectives have his da-
guerreotype, as well as those of some of
his confreres. He operates ingeniously,
and with marked success, in a mode of
inanciering which common thief would
hardly have thought of. 1t is his wont
to attend funerals, and at the customary
exhibition of the corpse to press to the
side of the coffin, there to mingle his tears
with those of the friends of the deceased.
Hence the souBriquet of "Chief Mourner"
has come to be his ordinary appellation
in police circles and other associations
where men of his character are known.
While honoring the deceased, he keeps
an eye open for the living, as did the
Ephesian widow; and as others come
near to take last view, he contrives to
relieve their pockets of whatever valua-
bles they may contain. His operations
had become so extensive that it was found
necessary, by the bereaved, to keep their
attention on the alert -; and the result was
the detection of the lugubrious gentleman
of whom we have been writing. He is
shrewd financial man, and has been unu-
sually successful in his peculiur depart
ment of industry.-E y Post.

ted to several annoying prosecutions ever
since they adopted the very proper rule to
compel negroes to ride only in certain
cars, especially appropriated for them.

for resisting the impudence of the negroes
and the assaults of the abolitionists. A

to "agitate the question that is the way
white folks do, and Sambo is following

niggers in town may be expected to be

To PREVENT CoSvULsIoHs.-The fot
lowing curious mode FOR preventing
convulsion, commonly called ga fit," is
given in the last number Of the CHARLES
ton Medical Journal and Review. in q long
article on the treatment Of Epilepsy, BY
VIM. NJ. Cornell, NJ. D., of Boston:
81 have employed various means to
ward of an epileptic attack for the time
being. Stretching the muscles powerfully
will generally prevent an attack; for
example, when the aura commences in
the great toe, or in the leg, strong traction.
or elougating the toe, or stretching the
muscles of the leg, will carry the patient
over the threatened attack for the time
or, wien the patient has premonitory
symptoms of an attack, opening the jaws
as widely as can be done, and placing
some hard substance between the teeth, to
keep the mouth open, will have the de-
sired effect. Ihave had one patient who,
by my advice carried piece of iron with
him for a year, fitted for the purpose Of
expanding the jaws to their utmost ca
pacity, and keeping them thus expanded.
When he has felt what he calls little
spasms," which have usually been the
precursors of the great ones, or the fits,
he has Immediately drawn from his pock-
ct the iron wedge, opened his mouth to its
utmost width, and placed the wedge be-
tween his teeth. He then becomes quiet,
goes about his business, or gives himself
no further trouble anbout the convulsiors
and has none"

WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1855

DEATH OF WGLIAM T. PoRrER.-We
regret to record the death Of William T.
Porter, which occurred yesterday morn
ing at 9 o'clock, at his residence, No. 81
Blocker street.
Thirty-two yeas ago Mr.. Porter was
foreman of printing Office in this city,
and employed Horace Greeley as a com
pOsitor. Five years afterwards he started
paper, devoted z. field sports, racing,
hunting, fishing. and the like, called the
Esprit of the Times" Its success for
sometime was doubtful but the energy
displayed by its editor, and the talent
engaged on its pages, soon gained it a
wide and ultimately permanent reputa-
ton. Mr.. Porter, (who was native of
Vermont, born in 1908 } was the second of
four brothers, who were all distinguished
for their literary ability. His eldest
brother, DR.. D. o. Porter. about the year
l845, in connection with Mr.. n. P. Will
lis, started a weekly paper called the
Corsair, which did not meet with the sue
cess it merited.
Another brother, George Porter con-
nected dimself with the New Orleans
Picayune, and died in that city. After
his death still younger brother, Frank
Porter, previously connected with the
revenue service. repaired to New Orleans
to supply his place, but fell sick there,
and after voyage to Europe, in search
of health, returned and laid his bones by
the side of his brother. Of all the family
only the subject of the present notice
survived. Mr.. Porter, about two years
ago, started, on September 6, 1866, an
other publication of still higher charac-
ter, but devoted to the same interest,
which is called "Porter's Spirit of the
Times"
Mr.. George Wilkes was his coadjutor
in this enterprise. which from the first
commanded public attention, and speedily
became a decided success. For few
weeks past, Mr. Porter was unable to
write more than simple paragraph for
each number of his paper. The work
which he had In hand, and to which he
intended to devote himself, was biogra-
ply of his friend, Henry William Herbert
{ Frank Forester, whose melancholy
suicide, about two months ago, must be
fresh in the recollection of our readers
\. Y. Times.
