Francis l. was one day playing at
tennis, when a monk, by successful
stroke, ensured the victory for the Kings
side of the game. "Well DONE" said
the King; "a brave stroke for a monk"
"Sire, " replied the monk, "your Majesty
can make it the blow of an Able when
you please" Some days afterwards the

In regard to the future course of

Oar patrons will bear us out in the

that we are not going to do so now
The paper speaks for itself. During
its brief career we have sndeavored
to do that which in our humble judg-
ment was considered right, and have
iNhored earnestly to carry out our
views, regardless Of effects upon our
own interests. We intend to adhere
10 this course. Netcr shall the fears
Of unpopularity and Of engendering
pecWniary losses Swcrve us from our
path, Brides and intimidations are
also Of no avail. They have been
unsuccessful herctofore--they will bo

as much devotion for the great prin-

Our namesake Of Atchison, Free.

week in q new dress, heading, and
greatly enlarged form. ltisnow one
OF the neatest sheets in KanzaS, as
well as one Of the best edited. Its
new engraved heading is very fine
We are glad to see such sterling
Free State paper hourishing. The
editor, JoHSA. MARTIN, is, we believe,
the youngest Of the profession in
Kanzas, but no one wsult imagine it
to read his terse and vigorous articles.
He holds the pen of ready writer
and his papers must, if conducted
with the same ability, eventually oc-
cupy proud position on the Kanza'
Press. One thing we admire in our
nsmesake, and that is tho cultivated
taste displayed in his literary select
ions, point which too many editors
neglect almost entirely. We give
the following extract from the pros
pcctus Of our friend, so that the pub
lie may be able to judge Of his quail
ity. 1.-Two possessed a copyright Of

PHOTOGRAPHIC PIcTUREs.-Among the Yari
GUS kinds Of pictures produced by the action of
the suns rays, there is none which gives such
universal satisfaction as those which are produced
by the Photographic process. In licensees Of
the human face, light and shadow are SO artisti-
cally blended that not only every popularity of
nature and drapery is shown. but alse the rotun-
dity Of the countenaHce, in manner so unique
and medallion-li like that it has more the appear
ance of embossed work than of an impression on
a fat surface. The form and depth of the
cavity Of the eye, together with its color.
transparency, and natural lustre, are more fully
and truthfuily developed by this than by any 9TH
er known process.
Photographic picturing has at length so far
come into vogue in Worcester, that it may be
we'll ranked among the fixed institutions of the
city. A few of the Worcester artists only have
attempted to make them at all, and among those
who have been most successful in procuring first
class pictures by this process, Messrs. Angel &
Coleman may be said to have excelled all others.
The Committee on Fine Arts awarded to them a
svar medal for the best collection of photo
graphic pictures exhibited at the late Mechanics
Fair. They have made many very excellent pic
lures during their short stay with us, and it is
source of regret to the lovers Of the art to learn
that they are about to leave this city and return
to the city of Providence, in the course of a few
days
visited their rooms few days since, and
among the pictures on exhibition noticed very
excellent likenesses Of the Rev. Horace James,
Rev. j. d. E. Jones, Rev. J. G, Adams, Hon.
Henry Chaplin, Clarendon Harris, William H
Eaton, and many other prominent citizens.
These specimens give evidence Of skill in the
art of photographing which deserves liberal en-
couragement. A CITIZEN.

The citizens of Kanzas friendly to the
Leavenworth constitution, at their convention
held at Topeka, last week, nominated Henry
]. Adams of Leavenworth for Governor. and
NJ. F. Conway of Lawrence for Congress.
Mr.. Adams is now mayor of Leavenworth.
and has for some time been a prominent free
State mau. Mr.. Conway is from Baltimore,
and, like nearly all the free State men born
in the South, is true as steel to the cause. He
was among the boldest to maintain and the
last to surrender the Topeka constitution.
He will of course have opposition, which is
likely to concentrate on the present popular
and faithful delegate, Marcus Parrot, and
may elect him. If all that is unsound and
unprnciped in Kanzas should see fit to vote
for Mr.. Parrott, that circumstance will by no
means prove him man after their own heart.
a good many will vote for him to beat Con-
way, who merely hate the former less than
the latter The passage of the English bill
invests the doings in Kanaas for the ensuing
two months with the deepest interest.-Nea0
