PRDkO DIX AoUKRo, Count OF lirtsafuera, Duke
Of haratsia, Grandee OF spain Of the first class,
and Knight Of the Golden Fleece, having sought
In vain among the noble families Of his native
land and Of france for a damsel worthy Of his
hand and illustri rus lineage, and having
heard Of the. pre-, ,minent charms Of American
beauty, has st length determined to resort to
pub icity a. the readiest means Of accomplishing
the OF ject Of his heart, viz a matrimonial alli-
ande with u young and beautiful girl. The no

day Of early youth, but his hair still appears
black and glossy, his teeth Of ivory whiteness,
his cheek tinged with the bright hue Of youth,
his form rounded and graceful. Tbs scandal
loving rouss of tho Jockey Club, where he Is
Of en- seen, assert that he Is padded, lsced, and
Iouged; that his hair IL from DescbaWps, and
h 3 te.th from FAITET's; and that he is turned Of

FRIEND BRowN Let me say that the
"Jay -Hawker" creates quite sensation
here; everybody reads it. ! would rather
be the author Of that tale, than to be
Governor of Kansas. The man who can
WELD pen with such power, may con.
slider himself potentate among Others
The sketches and mastery delineations
of character are SO graphic and vivid, thar
one is instinctively on the lookout, and
in spite Of the authors assurance that it is
imaginative. and this caution given not to
'.jay-hawk" his characters, and apply
them either to ourselves or neighbors, we
almost fancy that we can see Sly, with
his foxy beard and twinkling gimlet
eyes; the crying patriot, Gun, benumb-
ed and falling from his little sorry black
mule. and shouting for "elp;" and Rev.
Mr.. Prey, on his way to church, with
biblei 10 one pocket and revolver in the
other. II isswild, singular production,
but just such one Is ought to appear at
this time; and ] am grstified TO see that
tits deservedly popular. It lays bare the
bones Of jay-hawkism, and exhibits its
anatomy in Q strong light. Yours truly,

The Territory a Unit

The recent political conventions all
take position in favor of free grant OF
lands to actual settlers. The principle is
just, and the demand for its adoption by
the General Government, eminently
called for at the present time. The suffer-
iugs and losses of the early emigrants, the
prostration of business and scarcity of
money, have all fettered enterprise and
prevented labor from developing the re-
sources of the country. The cost of i'm
provements, where there is relative
scarcity Of fencing and building timber,
is SO great, that poor man finds himself
crampcd for means with which to enter
his land when it comes into market
He may borrow money at four per cent.
month, but the almost inevitable result
will be the loss of his home and his Ia
Dor, and the Spectator, in the end, mo-
nopolizes the soil.
Free land grants would cause a more
rapid settlement of the country, and place
the most valuable tracts in the hands of
the actual cultivators of the soil, instead
of in the grasp of wealthy men who have
no interest in the prosperity of the coun.
try, except as that increases the value of
their wild lands. Your speculator seizes
upon the choicest portions of the soil,
and If an actual settler takes claim near
him, he is alone. The thousands of acres
of the capitalist cut him of from society,
from schools, and from the manifold ad-
vantages of thickly settled neishbor-
hood. For the sake of developing thrift
and intelligence, it is just that the public
lands be held for the use of the actual
settlers and granted to them free. Rail-
road grants are fashionable, but the gift
in this case is to the rich, not to the poor.
They are justified on the plea that they
are public benefit 10 the country. So is
the rapid and close settlement of our
prairie lands, by working men, the real
basis Of growth. 1.-THE capitalist is enti-
tied to grant of lands, sufficient to pay
the cost of the road he builds, and to put
handsome surplus in his pocket, the
claim of the actual settlers to free grant
of the soil is unquestionxble. The peo-
pie ofall parties are moving on this ques-
ton, and they have their position on it
embodied in the platforms adopted at Te-
cumseh, Big Springs and Osawstomie.-
While politicians are squabbling over
Congressional sovereignty, the people
must rally as one man in favor ofthe
right ofthe actual settler to free home
on the soil.
