our heart and hand to such choice,

A Sholt Sermon.
BY OUTSIDER.

Mr.. EDITOR AS you publish a pa
per every Sunday morning, and as |
have no pulpit at my disposal, | will
ask corner somewhere for my SER
mons, promising that they will be
short. My text for the present oc-
casion will be taken from the pages
of very ol5c,,r,,,' !, ~, ,1oo; -, y,'p ;, found
recorded in t.. s'.1o1orGS:
"Mind your own business"
My hearers Business is a very
comprehensive word-it means sell
ling groceries, calico, red-eye, town
lots, quarter sections, horses, mules,
railroad stocks, Santa Fe outfits, prai-
rie schooners, and extension hoops
But the kind Of business alluded to
in the text, is your oVn business, as
controdistinguished from that of your
neighbors. Thus, if you have any
thing to do, from building city to
measuring a yard of tape-do it, for
the wisest OF men has said, many a
man gets rich by attending to his own
business" Again, if you see a man
striving to get along in the world,
and by energy, sObriety and economy
working his way up, it is none ofyour
busiuess-let him alone. Ii you see
woman sailing along the street with
an expansion OF crinoline, and Aow-
er garden in cultivation on her head
pass none of your sighting re-
marks-it is none of your business.
lfyou see poor girl, or a poor mans
wife, without hoops, and bearing in
her arms the bundle that would have
cost her q quarter to be- sent to her
house, and displaying the figure that
her Creator instead of her milliner
has given her, lot her alone. and keep
your snoers to yourself-it's none Of
your business. fyou know q neigh
Dor, who, in these hard times, finds
it difficult to meet his obligations in
cured when times were flush, don't
run about and say he is going to
break, or people had better look out
for their money lot him alone--it's
none of your business. If you see q
young girl fond OF her lover, and in
the innocence Of her youthful heart,
taking the world in its roseate hues,
don't turn up your nose and say she's
fast, or this, or that---but mind your
own business. If you have anything
to do at homo do it, for that is your
own business. If your wife wants
some marketing, or q dress for the
baby, or ii your husband wants but
tons on his shirt, or his hair pulled !;
do it-for that is your own business,
Ii your neighbor is sick, visit him I;
or in need, succor him---if he needs
o kind word or q helping hand to
tighten his burdens and cheer him
in his adversely, do so for him--for
that is your business. Or if you see
any nuisances about town any officer
that fails to attend TO what he has
sworn toperform /; anybody 6ghting
or disordsrly, or any stred that needs
repairing--.rep all such to the
newspapers,, for that is every ones
business. Finally,if have moth
ing else to do, abuse the Mayor, the
City Council, the muddy siroets, high
rents, and the United States rnail---
for that 10 everybody's businoas.---

What need to trace the record mi
nutely? All know the history of
Walkers early career here; the in
vestment of Lawrence by the y. 5.
Army under his orders the incept-
ion Of the Lecompton Convention
movement; the fraudulent census, and
the disfranchisement of one-half of
Kanzas thereby the frauds in the
October election, in 81, for the throw
ing out Of which Walker was cen
sured by the Cabinet at Washington !;
the assembling of the "Felon Con-
vention," presided over by a Demo-
cratic office holder, and composed in
good part of National Democrats !;
the framing of the Lecompton Swim
die and he long list Of frauds and
yillainies that followed in its wake,
each and all of which have met the
distinct and unqualified approval and
support Of the present National Dem
Iocratic Administration, and were
countenanced and upheld by aconsid'
cradle portion of that party Our
readers know all these facts. They
are historical and patent to the world.
But little need to recapitulate them,
vet it were we'll, once in while, to
look over the past, that our opposi-
ton to wrong may thereby be
strengthened. Remember that these
outrqges, thus perpetrated, endorsed
md sustained By the National Democ-
racy, as individuals, as a party, and
officially through their adniniStr alton
md organs, had but one object, Ois' to
make Ranzas SLAVE State.
The history of the late Congress
'ional struggle and its product, the
English Bill, are but further proofs,
# they were needed, of the truth Of
he sentiment at the head Of this ar
;icle. That "Slavery is Democracy
md Democracy is Slavery" is self
evident, and is there a man in Kan
sas calling himself Free State, with
he smallest scintillation of honesty
in his composition that would join
such double-damned mass of iniqui-
" as the National Democracy We
cannot believe there is.
On Monday, the Second of August,
we intend to give the finishing stroke
20 the Slave Oligarchy in Kanzas,
md then, the Free State party having
accomplished itFm:s'isn, prepare the
way for the formation of a new,
srander and more glorious party, be.
cause a logical result of our struggle
we mean the National Repu blican
Party.
Vote down the English PROPOSE
ion, and then under the Republican
banner, let KanzaS take her place in
he army which seeks to accomplish
or the Nation at large, what the Free
State party has done for Kanzas.
After the Second of August, the
Republicans of Kanzas will be found |
seeking to effect the redemption Of
he National Government from the
Slave 0ligarchy, as earnestly as they
worked for their own salvation.

Crops in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois


Wheat, generally, looks. we'll, and
unless injured by the rust, (of which
there seems to be great deal Of ap'
prehension, we should infer that a
least an evarage crop may be expect
ed. Some fields have been destroyed
by the floods, but as wheat is not gen
orally sown extensively on the low
bottoms, we apprehend the destruct-
ion from this cause will not serious.
ly affect the aggregate production
Much wheat has been beaten down
and damaged by the heavy rains, on
lands which have not been overhown;
but still, if that which is left standing
shall fill we'll, without much damage
from rust or insects, wo think fair
average crop will be realized.
Oats and barley in some localities
are represented as looking remarka-
bly, we'll, while in others they are
represented as having been very Sc
riously injured by the wet weather.
We infer that on high, rolling lands,
the crops Of these grains will be good,
but that in the aggregate the yield
will fall short of an average crop.
Meadows are everywhere represent
ed as having suffered much from wet
weather. We had always supposed
that grass was the least liable to in
jury from this cause of all other crops;
but Judging from all we have seen on
the subject, no other crop, except
corn, has suffered more from wet
weather this season. This is doubt
less owing, in great measure, to the
fact that low, level lands are general
y selected for meadows.
Potatoes bid fair to yield abundant
ly, although many acres have doubt
less been destroyed by the overflow
ing of lands.
Corn, the great staple of the West,
has suffered more than any other crop.
The wet weather early in the season,
and up to the usual time of planting,
rendered it impossible to plough or
plant a large proportion Of the corn
lands in the West. The recent un-
precedented floods have destroyed
many thousands of acres which had
been planted, and too late in the sea-
son to Justify any reasonable hope Of
success from replanting. As the bot
tom lands on the Scioto, Miamis, the
Wabash, and other Western rivers
and small streams, are almost Who'll
ly devoted to the raising of corn, and
as a large proportion of these bot
toms have been submerged as late as
the 9Th or 10th of June, it can scarce
ly be possible that anything like an
average crop Of corn can be produced
in the West this season. Hill lands,
and some high, sandy bottoms, which
do not overflow, may yet yield a good,
or even large crop; but we do not
believe there is any good reason for
hope for more than half crop,
throughout the Great West, under
the most favorable circumstances
Much corn has been planted since
the 10th of June, and some as late as
the Goth, but the season, from this
time forward, must be an extraordi-
nary one, or those late paintings can
not amount to much.

the leading Lecomptonites did openly and
positively declare before the meeting Of the
convention that nominated Henry Secrest,
in the Seventh District, that if the Hon.
John G. Davis should receive the nomina-
ton, they would run an Independent can
didate, in opposition to the nominee of their
own convention. Now these same protested

worshipers of the divine right" of con-

for daring TO oppose nominee of a conven-

pose Davis, if he had received the nomina
ton of the convention, by an independent
candidate is too respectable and strong t.
be denied.

Mysterious Disappearance.

The New York Sua, of Friday last, re-
appearance:
A highly respectable lady, named Mrs.
Eliza Brannon, wife of Captain Brannon,
United States Army, who is now serving in
Florida, has been spending the summer with
her mother, Mrs. Crane, upon Staten Island,
and on last Tuesday came to the city, with
several of her relatives, to make some pur-
chaSes. After finishing her shopping, she
called upon a lady friend who resides on
Third avenue, having previously told her
mother and another lady that she would
meet them at the ferry boat She left No.
2S Third avenue at about three and half
o'clock, and since that time no trace of her
can be discovered, although every exertion
has been made by her friends and the po-
lice to ascertain her whereabouts. Her
brother, DIR. Crane, of the United States
Army, fears that some evil has befallen her,
as any other supposition accounting for her
absence would do injustice to her character
as lady, and her devotion as wife. In
confederation of this belief it is stated that
she left her child at the house of her mother.
Mrs. Brannon is said to be thirty years
of age, under medium size, and possesses
much force of character and acquaintance
with the world, having travelled consider
ably with her husband.

THE STATE OF EUROPA Paris CORES
pondent of the New York Courier, says there
is screw loose in the conference of Minis
tiers from Austria, Turkey, England, Russia,
and France, now being held at Paris, upon
the affairs of Turkey and other European
international topics:
The sittings of that body have been, dur
ing some days suspended, in consequence of
the (real or pretended) illness of the Tur-
kish Envoy; and will not be resumed until
week after next, the 18th. The state of the
Turkish Provinces, is, no doubt, the subject
of deliberation, and probably, of angry dis
cussion.
Russia is assembling an army of 100, 900
men in Poland, Austria is arming her for
treSses in Italy, France, by sea and land, is
armed to the teeth, and to the fullest extent
of her capacity. The citidel of Antwerp is
being fortified, and England is engaged in
defensive preparations on an unexampled
scale What does all this portend? Not
immediate war, certainly; but this is a sit
uation that ought not to exist, and which
connot exist long, without something very
lamentable arising from it,

PEAL NE OF HsATHE SIsM.-At a re-
cent union meeting of the Presbyterian
churches of Elizabeth, y. j., Rev. DR.. Riggs,
who is about departing as a missionary to
foreign lands, presented this melancholy re-
port of the progress of the work Of evangel-
iZing the world
He said that % Christ assembled eighteen
hundred years ago. and since that time men
have been striving to spread the gospel
but up to this period three-fourths of the
inhabitants of the globe are in heather
darkness, only one-fourth having embraced
Christianity, and fifteen-sixteenths of the
world stand where they did when Christ
was on earth. The harvest therefore, /:
great, and the time to gather in this harves,
is short I; for in thirty years whole race
will be swept away. Only one missionary
exists in the heather world to $50, 900 in
habitants! Fancy the State of New Jersey
with only one preacher, and thirty year.
passing before that one becomes two!n
