EsyH Gov. MEDARr is the most fortunate
of all the Kansas Governors. The Ohio
Statesman copies an article from Kansas
paper, highly commendatory of his offici-
al conduct, and says: +, s,
THE papers of the Territory very gen.
orally speak OF the administration of Gov
|. Medary with satisfaction. He appears to
be gaining the confidence of the people
to a greater extent than any Of his prede-
ccssors. The various responsibilities and
duties Of his office appear to be met and
discharged discreetly and wisely. May he
continue to have success in his manage
ment of the affairs of Kansas i Do
pa The Houston Telegraph, of the

The first meeting of locomotives in Texas
occurred on Friday afternoon. at the Tap
road Junction, four in number coming
from four directions-J. d. Waters, from
Houston, the Stevens, from Sandy Point,
the Columbus, from Richmond, and the
Sherman, from Harrisburg, each with
trains. 1t was a happy scene, while the
loud greeting of their whistles echoed
over the prairies loud huzza for Texas
and her railroads. Itlooked like business.

The 1NRoDuCTIoN OF CoTToN INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.-The Baton Rouge
Advocate in letter dated Chapel HILL
Tenn, August 10, written, as we learn
from the Advocate, by. gentleman who
was formerly citizen of Louisiana, and
at one time filled high office in her gov
ernment, from which we extract the an
nexed interesting passage:
The person is yet living who saw the
first sack of cotton seed brought into the
Mississippi valley. 1t was introduced by
Daniel Clark, father of Mrs. Gen. Gaines,
who was a native of Ireland, a Spanish
subject, and acting as Consul for the Uni
ted States at the port of New Orleans
1t was imported expressly for Mr.. Brin-
gier, a wealthy planter on the right bank
of the river, few miles below Donald
sonville. Mr.. Bringier had also the first
cotton gin imported. The cotton seed
was distributed to such planters, up and
down the coast, as desired to try the ex-
pertinent, and in the fall of the year
when it was picked, Mr.. b. sent his son,
Louis Bringief. the present venerable
Surveyor General of Louisiana, with
barge and gaIig of negroes to collect it for
the purpose Of being ginned. The cotton
was raised aud ginned upon shares, and
when bagged&9s sent to Daniel Clark for
expectation. Mr.. Bringier told. me he
had gone up as far as Baton Rogue and
Pointc Coupee, gathering cotton to be
ginned at his fathers place below Donald
sonville. This was in the latter part of
the last and at the beginning of the pre-
sent century. ........

INTERESTING TO THE BEARDED.-A writer
in the Boston Post has the following pithy
communication:
| have seen it stated somewhere that
there is an intimate connection between
the nerves and muscles of the face and
eyes, and allowing the beard to grow
strengthens the eye. 1t is said that sur
geons in the French army have proved,
by experiment. in Africa. that soldiers
wearing the beard are much less liable
to diseases of the eye, and it is generally
conceded that tits a protection from dis
cases of the throat and lungs. 1t is as
serted that in countries where it is the
custom to wear the beard, the eye retains
its lustre and brilliancy much longer. Ii
may be urged that females do not suffer
more than malce from diseases of the eye,
&C., but it must be admitted they are less
.exposed to the elements. What did the
Creator give tho lords of creation heard
for? Certainly not to support BARRIERS.
There is Just asmuch sense in shaving the
head as theichinA it NfrffflIrrT TIt.T ..tI.

We believe we published tho following
good 'un' several years ago, but it will
bear repetition: Z. g.rl
A specimen of the genus "Hoosiero
was found by Captain-----, of the steamer
-, in the engine room of his boat
while lying at Louisville, one fine morning
in June. The Captain enquired of him |:
"What are You doing there 2" f7.
"Have you seen Capt Perry ~ was the
interrogating response. n.'r. .irr 81.
81 don't know him and can't tell what
that has to do with your being in my en-
gine ROOM" replied the captain. angrily.
"Hold on! That's just what fwas get
ting at. You see. Capt. Perry asked. me
to drink; and SOL did. Iknew tfmt
wanted to drink. or would'nt have been
so cussed dry. SO Captain Perry and
wenttoa BAH. Captain Perry was put
ting on some extras on one toe. ] sung
out; go it Captain Perry, if We bust yer

and says he: -.
"See here, stranger. you must leave"
Says |, what must | leave furg"
"Says he, You're making too mnh
noise"
Says l, I've been in bigger crowd
than this and made more noise, and did mt
leave nuther."
"With that, he took me by the nap of
the neck and seat of the breechcs, and
left. As i was hovin' down street,
met lady, knew she was q lady, by the
remark she made. She SAYS:
Young man, reckon you'll 60 home

"And I-went!' . ..t.
I'D been in her house but short
time, when | heard d-lof knocking
at the door, l knew the chap wanted to
get in whoever he was. or he would not
have kept up such thunderin' racket
BY and by, said voice:
'lf you don't open, I'll bust in the
door!"
"And so he did,
81 put on a bold face and SAYS l."

Says he, She does"
"Then, says |, she's vrtuous, think,
from all that have seen of hertz

pistol in one hand and bowie knife in
the other; and being little pressed for

stS~ The Richmond Dispatch says that
an intelligent gentleman of that city, re-
Gently from Cuba, says that except
amonga few persons engaged in the Amer
lean trade, the opposition there to filibus-
terism and annexation is universal. They
have no more desire to be annexed to the
United States than Louisiana has to be
annexed to Spain" "Of all sections in
this country" adds the Dispatch, "the
South is the very last that should disturb
the rights of Spain in Cuba" b. -.t.-

THE CALoRIo Moron, though found made
quate to the purposes for which it was original
ly applied, is taking rank among the mpor-
tant contributions of modern science, proving
itself susceptible of wide application to the me-
chanic arts such as could never have been
contemplated at an earlier period of its devel-
opment. Over one hundred engines, with cyl
inders varying from six to thirty.two inches In
diameter, are dispersed through the country !;
some employed for raising water, hosting
goods, driving printing presses, mills, and 9TH
er machinery Two small paddle wheel
yachts have been successfully propelledby this
engine, and another is building, to be compile
ted in May, which will have pair of thirty.
two inch caloric engines, now in process Of
construction at the Delamater Iron Works. the
steamer to be eighty feet long. Hosting en-
pines have also been ordered for some Of the
United States bonded warehouses-it having
been decided that the introduction Of this an.
paratus does not vitiate policies of insurance.
The advantage claimed for this motor are, that
within certain limits its power is reliable, uni
form, and entirely sufficient its use is not at
tended with the dangers which are inseparable
from the use of steam it requires but little
supervision, triding amount Of fuel, and nc
water As alabor-saving power, caloric takes
for the most part, field hitherto unoccupied
and has a value which few will hesitate to &C
knowledge.-N. Y. Journal Of Commerce.

VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-The New York cor
respondent of the Boston Journal says:
"a new invention will soon be before the
people of this city, which promises to be of
great utility. 1t is the process of iquefaction
of quartz. The process is simple and effectu-
al; and when the end is gained it can be made
to asseme its original compactness and adhes-
iveness. Quartz can be melted like iron or
lead, and be melted into any shape, form, size,
or ornament, 1t can be used for all building
purposes that iron can be used for, and the
beauty of the specimens surpassed description.
That this can be done is UNREASONABLE the
specimens prove this. And it only remains to
be seen how practical it can be made. Sever
al gentlemen of the first standing and of sci
entifc ability are so well convinced of the val
ne and practicability of the new invention that
they have advanced the inventor money suf-
ficient to enable him to make complete de-
monstration OF what he can do. The machine
is patented. But the secret has been told to
two persons only. 1t is written, and under
SEAL and deposited with one of the banks and
in case of the death of either of the two per-
sons or the inventor, the secret will not die.
In month, the trial on large scale will be
made and the result made known"

THE LITTLE PILGRIM.

(From the Christian Examner)
THE LITTLE PILGRIM.
BY REV. W. C. RICHARDS
saw little pilgrim come,
Asudden, to that river,
AT whose dark brink bold lips close dumb,
And stout hearts quail and shiyer-
The marge of Deaths cold river
Down to the stream the little maid
Was led by white-robed angels;
Around her, golden harps they played,
And sung those sweet Evangels
! Sung only by the angels.
Five days upon the brink she lay
OF that appalling river,
And Death shot arrows, every day,
From his insatiate culver,
At her, beside the river.
Oh! but stood amazed, to hear
Her wan lips sweetly saying,
Don't pray to keep me, mamma dear;
l must not here be stayingn
Such words of wonder saving.
''Mamma, do not fear to die
My sins are all forgiven,
And shining angels, lowering nigh,
VIII bear my soul to Heaven,
BY Jesus quite forgiven"
And then, from her fond mothers breast,
She plunged into that river;
Her fiuttering pulses sunk to rest;
Her heart was still forever,
And her soul beyond the river.
Now, when my children wait to hear
Some tender, touching story
tell them how, without fear,
She died and went to glory;
And tears flow with the story.
