- We clip the following paragraph from the
Louisville JouLnal, in reference to the victory OF
Sum Houston over the democracy The sagaciouS
editor of that journal did not consider the cleo
ton in Texas in the light of u family quarrel I;
hut comes to the gist of the matter in few for
chile words, and says that seen. Houston has
crushed the great democratic party" Many
democrats voted for Houston, and not once think
ing that they were lending n helping hand to-
wards crushing their own party,-their party is
not crushed, and we trust never will he. We
let the extract from the journal speak for itself
alt il IA great and decisive victory, far eur
passing the glory of San Jacinto. for Houston
has succeeded az IN opposition candidate. where
none such ever carried the State before, or even
stood the slightest chunce of so doing Tie has
crushed that great democratic party which base
ly lent its influence and might to the fanatics who
were arrayed against him, and who had discard
ed HIM from the Senate. General Houston has
been member of the American party. We
know not what lie may he now, hut his hattie in
Texas has heen the great fight of national patri-
otism, of liberal progress and justice to all men,
and his success will reflect imrcrishabe lustre
upon his name, when the renown of his ensan-
guined fields Of warlike strife shall have faded
into the obscure pages of sighting history"

College limitations.

The annual limitations of the secret So
cieties of Yale College took place on Fri
day evening last. The New Haven Pal
ladium reveals some of the mysteries of
induction:
"This performance is carried on in the
basement and vaults of the State House,
aud the general object is to introduce the
novitiate to as hideous and frightful a
scene and as trying an ordeal as possible.
Accordingly the students asstime the most
ffightful disguise they can conceive
They have plenty of blue lights, coffin
or two, and grave freshly dug, into which
they lower the victim; guillotne that is
invariably cranky aud too stiff in the joints
to work satisfactorily; a gallows six feet
high or more, with its fatal moose ever so
much sheet-iron thunder, and blue lights,
and sulphur, and phosphorus; sundry grin
ning skeletons and masks of corpses, and
blanket III which the victim is ruthless
ly tossed. These, with incessant yells
and howlings, such as can only be made
by a Yale student and Sioux Indian
and plenty of tin horns, form the staple
of the performance. 1t is always ludic-
rous, and generally quite interesting
withsl, especially to the Student who ha.
recently entered college," and the vic
Tins, though they are handled rathe
roughly, are hardly ever hurt unless they
are accidently dropped into the grave, o
tossed so high that their heads strike tn,
ceiling"

Beautiful Allegory.

Mr.. Crittenden, of Kentucky, was at
one time engaged in defending a man
who had been indicted for a capital Of
fense. After an elaborate and powerful
defense, he closed his effort by the fol-
lowing striking and beautiful allegory:
"When God in his eternal counsel con-
ceived the thought OF mans creation, he
called to him the three ministers who
wait constantly upon the throne-Justice,
Truth and Mercy, and thus addressed
them Shall we make man? Then said
Justice, %, God, make him not, for he
will trample upon thy laws Truth
made an answer, also, %. God, make him
not, for he will pollute thy sanctuaries.'
But Mercy, dropping down upon hel
knees, and looking up through her tears
exclaimed, %, God, make him-I will
watch over him with my care through al
the dark paths which he may have tC
tread Then God made man, and said
to him, o, man, thou art the child o
Mercy, go and deal with thy brother'"
The jury, when he. finished, wer'
drowned in tears, and, against evidence
and what must have been their own con
viction,. brought in verdict of not guilty

TEcuMsEH, K. T., Oct. 14th, '5S.


FRIEND BRowN There was great
convention in city about five miles west
of this place, some particulars OF which,
and some consequences thereof, 1 would
like the readers of your paper to know
The convention itself did not trouble the
citizens of this place, as we are quiet
people, who attend to our own business;
but some of our citizens were amused,
some disguised, and I suppose few OF
the faithful were pleased, by the actions
of some of the delegates on their way
home on the morning of the 18th inst
The first intimation we had Of an ap-
preaching sho,o was sound coming from
the westward, which some might have
called music, others the musical attempts
of certain long cared animals, which sound
was intespersed by yells, screams and
laughter. Well, into town they came,,
trying the speed and bottom of their
horses, instead of their own running quail
tiles, as candidates for Office. They drove
down to the hotel and then the show
proper commenced, (the above was pre-
lude, 1 suppose); they shouted, they
yelled, they screamed (; those who could,
danced, and the rest jumped up and down;
in short, they did every ridiculous thing
which ridiculous men would be expected
to do. 1t was quietly suggested that they
were intoxicated, but that was indignant
ly denied. A good Republican Lady said
it was superabundance of joy arising
from the nominations made by the con-
vention which caused them to perform so
amusingly. The most plausible excuse l
can give, is that they were SO full of "ab-
olition sympathy" as to cause them to act
as much like 'nigger' as they could
But, to be serious, when will the people
learn to elect delegates to transact politi-
cal business for them, who are sober and
honest men? No one would employ
, drunken rowdies to transact other busi-
ness for them why political I was
not present at the convention, but l un-
derstand that there were at least two min
, listers of the Gospel present as delegates,
5 and three more as lobby members. A
, word 10 them If they could have seen
3 our show, they would have been proud oi
: their associates. Their commission mus'
e have been enlarged, so as to command
4 them to attend political meetings as well
as preach the Gospel, and their talents
S must have improved, for it took the 'pool
|. fishermen" all their time to attend to thu
+. original command given by our Lord and
: Master. "Oh, consistency thou art I
n Jewel" scarcely found in Kansas.
!. do not wish it understood, by th'
e above, that 1 condemn the convention it
If self, or its nominations, for care but yer,
e little about them, as political honors q
is we had a specimen,) are not among m.
e. wishes. MASSACHUSETTS.

Eruporia.

1t really needs that one should 60 away
from Emporia for a while to see what
town there already is upon this meek OF
prairie, Two years ago there were about
six or eight houses in the place, and twas
growing but slowly. People that were
not interested, and some that were, proph-
esied all sorts of fall and impede
ments to It's progress. There was no wa
ter above ground, and for some time, af-
ter yarious and ffuitless efforts had been
made, the opinion became prevalent that
the only course to pursue in getting 1t was
a northern or southern one, and the means,
a barrel and sledl This necessity was b.
nally relieved by the discovery OF an ex.
cellent well-fountain, at slight depth, and
soon after another, and 50 on. Osner
wants were finally supplied, and Emporis
went ahead. She is now growing faster
than ever before, with every prospect OF
increasing her speed with age. Already
there is growing up. we believe, spirit OF
pride towards our town, both by Its clti'
zens and the community around. The
farmers of the Upper Neosho, and OF tho
broad country to the south and west OF
us, now view Emporia in the light OF an
important place for trade and trafhc, and
seem to appreciate the advantages OF its
position with the energy Of her business

the two most important streams in South
ern Kansas, city Of magnitude TO cor
respond with their wants and capacities:
Emporia must certainly be TIE place. If
our observance of the past and Judgment
of the future are not entirely worthiess.-
We have now FIVE stores-thrce OF them
are as large and we'll filled as any south
of the Kansas river-shops for all kinds
of useful trades, with skillful mechanics
to manage them, besides good hotel. O

or sixty other buildings, mostly dwellings,
built in neat style for q western town.
By the introduction of brick and stone,
: decided improvement will be made up
on the looks Of the town with another

new buildings are in course OF erection o
, this time, mostly Of the best class, anc
as many more will be commenced ye
this fall.

OF Our Railroad is now graded nearly
two miles and the work goes bravely on.
The last mile has been particularly severe
work, and the men deserve praise for get
ting it done so soon. There is a large
force of men on the road, and as the heav-
lest part of the work on this end of the
road is done, we may expect to see it pro-
gress more rapidly hereafter. We think

1Sluhful Ode.
BY J. G. WHITTIER.

This day two hundred years ago,
The wild grape b. the river side,
And tasteless ground-nut trailing low,
The table Of the wood supplied.
Unknown the apples, red and gold,
The blushinE tints Of peach and pear;
The Mirror Of the PoWw0w told
No tale Of orchard rare.
Wild az the fruits he scnrned TO till,
These wales the idle Ind an trod;
Nor knew the glad creative skill,
The JOY Of him who tolls with God
o painterof the fruits and lnwers!
We thank thee for thy wise designs,
Whereby thee human hands of ours
InnAtnre's garden work with thine.
And, thanks, that from our daily need
The Joy Of simple faith is borne;
That he who smItes the summer weed,
May trust thee for the Autumn corn.
Give fools their gold and knaves their power
Let fortunes bubble rise and fall;
Who soWs a field, or trains flower,
Or plants tree is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blest;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to live at his bequest
And added beauty to the earth.
And soon, or late, to all that SOW,
The time Of harvest shall be given,
The flowers shall bloom, the fruits shall grow
IL not on earth, at least in heaven.
