Kansas 4 Democratic State.

The Washington States copies an arti-
Gle from the Herald Of Freedom, pub
lished at Lawrence, Kansas, from which
draws the pleasing conclusion that
Kansas is likely to come into the mon
rs n Democratic State, and says
This, indeed, is cheering inform att n
Maucre the Vaccinations If aid societies,
and other unwarrantatle influences, Kan
sas is at last to array herself decidedly
against Aboltionism, and to come into
the federal fold as the supp' r.cr of sound
constitutional principles. If such shall
occur, of which we are not permitted to
entertain a rational doubt, the friends of
the Union VII realize most important
victory. Nor will Missouri be subjected
TO the evils which woul ensue from the
consummation of the designs Of Black Re
rublicanisrn, in placing upon her border a
disorderiy sister.
We apprehend that the rejoicing of
the States, is little ill advised and pre-
mature.

Mr.. EUsTIs, distinguished politician
of Louisiana, has gone and done it. He
has confessed ''the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the TRUTH" In giving
the reasons for his adhesion to the Dem
ocratic party, he SAYS
Whatever errors the Democratic par
ty may have comlnitted-and it undoubt-
ed!y has many to answer for--whatcver
Inconsistencies it may have fallen into, We
must bear in mind that Southern men
hare ruled supreme IN ats councils, Gnd
hare held Us deStiaies."
This is the obvious truth of the matter
"a trutl. evidenced by the whole history
Of the party. We do not charge upon
Northern Democrats that they are person
ally in favor Of the system of slay cry, but
we have affirmed and do still affirm, that
the party with which they stand connect
cd is pro-slavery in its spirit and action,
that the Slave Power rules supreme in
its councils and decides upon its destinies

The New Atlantic Telegraph.

1t is settled that an attempt Is to be
made to lay a new Atlantic Telegraph
The British Government have guaranteed
six per cent on the capital necessary to
construct it,provided the cable shall work.
On its face, this proposition does not APP
pear to amount to much, since every tele-
graph man believes that working line
across the Atlantic would be great pay
ING property. Yet the guaranty is sufii-
Gent to induce capitalists to embark in the
enterprise, while without it they would
not do so, principally because it is believed
by practical telegraphists that the existing
Atlantic cable can be resuscitated, and
put in complete working condition. If
this should be done, a second line might
not prove to be profitable investment.
The belief in resuscitation of tho ex-
isting cable rests on the hypothesis that it
is not broken, but the English shore end has
been destroyed-the conducting wires
''burnt out" by tic, heavy batteries used
ty the English operators in trying to
force through their messages. 1t is
known that an extraordinary jealousy of
American skill and invention was felt and
exhibited by English electricians at the
time the cable was laid, and that, with
true John Bull pertinacity, they would
not for an instant allow that the Yankees
could know more about working an At
lantic Telegraph than they did. The
managers of the line on the other side also
felt confidence in their own scientific men
and so allowed experiment after expert
meRt to be made 10y them, until at length
the working power of the line gave out
altogether. The American operator
las thus never had any chance whatever
to test his skill and invention in regard to
it. The private history of the manage
ment of affairs in working the cable thus
discloses story of suspicion, and jealousy
and rivalry truly surprising, considering
the magnitude Of the interests involved.
The details are of no public importance
beyond the alleged fact that they have
resulted in destroying the working capa-
city ofthe cable.--N Y. Tribune.

A Sister in "a tight place.

TN, one Saturday evening, ia
tigued by his long journey, a WAGNER,
with his son john, drove his team into
good range, and determined to pass tho
Sabbath, enjoying season of worship
with the good folks of the village.
When the time for worship arrived
John WAS set to watch the team, while the
WAGNER went in with the crowd. The
preacher had hardly announced his SUBJ
iect before the old man fell sound asleep.
He sat against the partition in the center
of tie body slip; just over against him,
separated only by the very low partition,
sat fleshy lady who scent d all absorbed
in the sermon. She struggled hard with
her feelings, until, unable to control them
any longer, she burst out with a loud
scream. and shouted at the top of her
voice, rousing the old man, who bnt half
awoke, thrust his arms around her waist
and cried, very soothingiy =
"Wo, Nance! wo, Nance, wo! Here,
john" calling bis son, ''cut the beIIyband,
and loose the biecchirg, quick, or she'll
tear everything all to pieces
1t was all the work of a moment, but
the sister forgot to shout, the preacher
lost the thread of his discourse, and the
meeting ca,ae prematurely to an end
while, deeply mortified, the old man skulk-
ell away, determined not to 90 to meet
ING again until he conld manage to keep
his senses by remaining awake.

The n. Y. Tribune, speaking of the
uniquely equipped and strangely-costum-
cd corps of the French army, says:
Aud foremost among these would stand
the world renowned Zouaves. Composed
of men of all classes, colors and chimes,
and o, neral Oriental mien and aspect, be-
fit a corps which is n seeming cross be-
tween Don Caesar De Bazan and Rob
Roy, between modern Alpine brigand
and an ancient Knight of the Holy Sep
ulchre. Off duty. they are as gay and
volatile as a Partisan; but in the din Of
battle, as lrayc AN, lloody as n North
American Indian or an Algerine corsar.
They usually 90 through their eyolutions
on the run, and their favorite weapon is
the cold steel Of the bayonet. The world
4. es not afford their match for hand-to-
hand street-fights; to mount the walls of
loopholed houses under a shower Of rifle
balls, and clear them of the enemy; to
stand and be plowed by cannon shot ill
the trumpet sounds the onset; to charge
up to the mouth of a spouting battery, or
receive galloping squadron of cavalry on
their bayonet points; to leap a moat or
swim river or scale Hill, in the face of
a tempest of grape; or to meet and master
the most desperate exigencies that the
bio ody god can devise. At Palcstro, we
think it was, battalion of them was Or
dered to silence distant Austrian bate
~. As the trumpets sounded, they tore
off their knapsacks, took the "gymnastic
STEP" which means a run, swan an inter-
vening stream, holding their firearms high
in air to keep their powder dry, dashed
at the flaming Threats of the guns with
veil of the Camanches, and, bounding
clear over them, like Bedouin Arabs, fir
ing one shot as they went, they transfxcd
half the gunners with their bayonets, and
Drained the rest with the butts of their
weapons. No wonder the Austrian colo
mel who witnessed the scene said, ''These
are not lAen-they are tigers" From
Monticello to Salferino. the Zouaves have
left double their share Of dead on every
field, as testimonials that they pay with
their hearts Hood for the title of sthe
crack corps" of the French army.

long as his sto k of whisky held good.
But at last that ran out, and Jack was
thrown upon hs own resources. This
was too much for him 10 bear. One
night fellow fisherman, who roomed
with him, was surprised to hear him crawl
out of bed and 90 upon his knees on the
floor. .Halloo,' said he, whats up9-

THE Mails.

The Springfield Republican thus speaks
of the control of the mail service, by gov
crnmcnt -
The degree to which the people of this
country, and especially Of New England,
can render themselves Independent OF
government, has a good illustration in
the readiness with which many towns,
deprived of their daily mails by the indis-
eliminating reductions of the department
in the post Office service, have stepped in
and supplied the deficiency 10y private
subscr ptions. They pay the bills, and
the United States treasury receives the
proceeds. This experience is likely to
extend the conviction that in many re-
specs government is h:ndranc? more

clicked off from its assumed monopoly OF
The carry NJ of letters ald papers, the
business woull be more satisfactorily and

adopted into our system from that OF
Europe, whore government does every

tom, aud we believe might already be
