sExpenses of the Wnite House


The Wasbiasteaa Z, K.,dsorriressspondent Z 81 of the
New York TribunssaSs3s
Much has ,bseaysait of tlse, large expenses
connected with t6e White House, and the
cost of keeping ap the dignity of the Presi.
dents position. There never was a greater
mistake. Mr. Buchanan must save at least
SIS. 600 afyear from his salary, as viii be
readily seeniby aicomparison with his more
recent predecessors. mest,ef whom retired
with very comfortable provision Nc Ty-
Ter is believed 10 haze carried away $4,000
or $40, ,O0o.. Mr.. Polk took home a much
larger sum- sMF. sFillhSore..s who served
something over two years and half, was
quite up 10 the mark OF MG.-TyleF; and Mr..
Pierce, yb9 lived more Hospitality and gen
erously than either of those named, saved
about $4,000. All, these Presidents in,
CURED some expenses from which Mr. Buc-
hanan is entirely exempt The White
House is now heated and lighted entirely at
the public charge, A large kitchen gardenO
is cultivated. which furnishes all the regs
etables required, and more. 4 fne green.-
house has been added, which is found both
useful and ornamental. Just before the in.
auguration of Mr. Buchanan, tie private
secretary of the President was made sal
ot tCA SAA4(SS WIN HCk anu a.
clerkship attached to it. The steward. who
was previously paid out of the Presidents
private purse, was also salaried at $1,000 a.
year, and messengers were added to reduce
The outlay for servants The only seri6a5s
cost now incurred is for the official dinners
during the sessions of Congress, aud it is 5
well known, that Mr.. Buchanan, has been,
prudent beyond all example in this respect.
His ordinary household consists of three or I
four persons and the servants, and there are
fifty gentlemen in the city who maintain4s
more style and spend more money without
any appearance Of extravagance. Mr. Buc-
hanan has always been acareful manager.
and now. finds plenty Of time to Zexamine
his market book, amid all the pressing dec
mands for Office. It is not surprising. ia
this view, that be should be willing to try
a second term. f.a9E.a3Isd g 3saiE4gs E-"'s

spurgeon and the yankee.

A gentleman who has recently returned
from England, relates an anecdote of Mr..
Sturgeon that is to good to be lost. The
great preacher had for his theme one day
the power of individual. personal effort, and
Ia illustrate it he told story of Yam
kee,' rs Mr.. Spurgeon called him, who
boasted that he could whip the entire Eng
lish nation himself. ''And how could you
do it.'' said a bystander. Why" said the
Yankee. Il would take one Englishman at
a time. l would whip lin, AMI then would
take another, and So ! would go along till
hal whipped the whole nation,'' Al the
close of the sermon, Mr.. Spurgeon, the re-
Iator of the anecdote and several friends,
retired 70 tie vestry. Soon there came in
a tail, lean long faced solemn looking man,
who hailed from the State of Maine. He
presented to Mr.. Spprgeon letter of intro
duction, and was welcomed by the preacher
Soon Mr.. Spurgeon addressed the new com
er by aging: well. my American friend.

ual power, drawn from your country =

State, II was quite well pleased with il, -be5

Mr. s.. what do you mean sir2 '.I knew

reply. And what was his name % Mr,
Spurgeon asked-to which the Yankee an

Pioneer Enterprise in Kansas.

The rapidity with which our western
Willis are developed and made to TEEN with
the evidepces of an agricultural and COM
nlercial enterprise, has Rsen an enigma, even
to many of-our own people, as well as to
those of other nations less acquainted with
the character of America. The pioneer
| spirit sweeping with an avalanche tide over
the rugged features of nature, model the
widest plains into blossorning fields with
wonderful Oelerlty. Aea l!-nT go 70 LI'-t~
+ a beautiful exhibitionsofG go.a-head.
a-tive spirit Is manifest in the case of She
adjacent Territory, Any one who was
newspaper reader two, or three years, ago,
and ever since, is conyersant withwthe erup-
tons by which the progress of Kansas was
checked, and apparently doomed to laRguish
forever. Such persons who have not t.enjoyrI
ed occular evidence of the fact, could hard.
ly. be convinced that, the same plains, then
notable as battle ground, are now the abode
of men quietly and peaceably, tilling the
soil, and already sending forth surplus of
the results of their labors TO supply de-
mand for products in other portions of the
world 81 But it is even so ! The uncon
sci"u5 citizen IN other States remote from
this, is daily deriving sustenanee from the
products OF Kansas soil, although in his
memory are still fresh, the exciting incidents
and unsettled condition of that people BY
whose same hands hs wants are now sup
piled. Thousands of bushels OF corn have
been shipped from Kansas and found a mar
ket in various portions of the country. The
attention of her people has been turned to
the lucrative vocations of life; the most fer
lile lands on the continent are daily yielding
their products to the culture of the farmer;
cities and towns are spriuging up IN every
direction. and happiness and prosperity is
the remuneration of every emigrant who
finds home within her borders. These
facts present gratifying picture of civili-
cation whose evidences abound -in most
pleasing attitude wherever theeye is direct
ed over the plains of Kansas.-Kansas City
