Interesting to Business Men---The Sta
tionery Trade.

Gradually the light dawns upon US, and one
by one the lights break forth, that we, nation
of ten years growth are fast becoming civil
lied. Not only the ruder marks of intellect, as
manifested in the various mechanical contri-
vances of our mines and firms, but literature
and the fine arts are taking unto themselves a
local habitation and q name in our midst. Sta
tionery follows closely upon the heels of refine
ment, md lew persons are aware of the extent
and Importance of this branch of our trade. The
Stationer, originally, signifed Bookseller, from
his occupying a stand or station, but as the
publication and sale of books increased, it was
separated from that of the other, the name Sta
tioner remaining with the Yerder Of Paper, Ink,
Pens, &C.
At this day, and in our country, Book and
Stationery store is q perfect thermometer of the
nature, extent and quality of the community-
Wherever you see a neat, well kept establish
Ihent of this kind, with Il g"ntemanly and intel
ligent proprietor, you may BE sure you are in
the midst of an intelligent, refined and well in
formed people.
About two years ago Mr.. Albert L. Bancroft,
brother of the eminent Publisher and Book
seller, conceived the idea of taking Stationery
and making it a separate and distinct branch of
trade, devoting his best energies to that alone.
No house exclusively Stationery had as yet been
started on the Pacific coast. Accordingly, after
having spent one year in preparation, the re-
quisite arrangements were consummated for re-
ceiving reglrr supplies from the Mills and
Manufactures of the United States, England
Frace and Germany, and the enterprise launch
ed in San nEisco early in 1860, under the
name of A L. Bancroft & Co., Mr.. II. H. Ban

IANn SALES.

A large quantity of land lying in the
Fort Scott and Junction City Land Districts
has been, by proclamation of the President.
advertised to be sold at public sale some
time in the month of August next. We
have not yet seen the proclamation OF the
President. and cannot tell certainly in re-
gard to the counties included in that to be
offered for sale.
The President is determined that the peo-
pie of Kansas shall not have the benefit of
the provisions of the Homestead bill, even
should it become a law-which we begin to
doubt very much. The last two admins
trations have followed the people of Kansas
with the most fendish malignity, because
they would not consent to the establishment
of slavery in the Territory. The meanest
part of the whole persecution is the endeav-
or to sell their homes out from under them
to set of spectators and land sharks. 1t
is little the most despicable business that
government pretending TO be an exponent
of the popular will ever attempted, besides
being violation of the promises held out to
emicrants to settle in Kansas. We hope
there may be a day of reckoning soon in
which tie people of Kansas will have a
chance to sit in judgment on their Cypress

We present our readers this week with an
enlarged sheet. of the size on which THE
EMPoRrA News will hereafter be printed
We had at frat intended TO wait until the
commencement of new volume before
,venturing TO enlarge; but circumstances oc-
CURED to change our views and hasten the
enlargement, which thus takes place to-day.
We do not enlarge at this time because
such . step is likely to be pecuniarily remu-
perative. The prospect is decidedly Goth
or way. But because we consider that the
growing interests of EMPoRIA, of Brecken-
ridge county, and of the entire Center and
South west, could be better subserved in cur
sphere of action thereby.
We well know the pecuniary risk involved
in this step. We do not take it blindly.-
Some of our friends have expressed to US fear
that we might be compelled togo back TO our
former dimensions, which would be worse
for us than If we had never enlarged. To
such we say: ''THE News has its FIRST back
ward step yet to take. Its destiny is FOR
WARD. not backward. and it will be main
tanned at its enlarged size. Our faith is in
the merits of the paper itself; in the
demand for representative newspaper
in this portion of Kansas in the efforts OF
our friends in our behalf; in the growth
and improvement of the glorious Center
and Southwest, with which THE NEWS is
80 closely identified; and finally, in OUR OWN
DETERMINATION. THE News will never go
back to its old dimensions, cost what it may

THE DEMOCRATIC SPLIT,

The adjournment of the National Dem
ocratic Convention from Charleston without
effecting the nominations for which it con-
vened, is without precedent since conven-
tons were inaugurated as one of the means
of making Presidents. 1t is confession of
weakness in the party for which we were
not entirely prepared. Itshows conclusive
ly that the managers of the concern were
afraid to risk a nomination without the help
of the disuniou seceders. who split off upon
the adoption of the platform. It is con-
fession that all that keeps the party togsth-
er is the chance for success-not its princi-
pies. Although tits "noneof our funeral. -
we confess that we rather like the s'exhibi-
tion," and shall watch with some interest

ible'' of all .'irrepressible conflicts

1t has been truly said that "the ad vertisements
of paper are the truest index of the business of

therefore, that refer readers to the third

ing is there presented. We would call the es-
pecial attention of the settlers in South and South
west Kansas to the enumeration of articles Of
manufacture and sale, and the inducements offer
ed to buyers. They will well repay reading SER
iGfim There is an article used by settlers,
that is not there advertised, and what is adyer-
tised is kept on hand, for sale. There is nothing
lacking in the line of dry goods groceries, boots
shoes. hats, caps, hardware, tnware, earthenware,
queensware, wooden ware, clothing, cloths. fur
nshing goods. millinery, drugs. medicines, stoves,
iron, STEEL nails, glass. sash, saddles and harness,
furniture, agricultural implements, dc. The
stocks are as complete as can be found in the
Western country, and are kept constantly replen-
ished. The different branches of the Mechanic
Arts well epresented-carpenters black
smiths, gun smiths, wagon makers, plow makers,
harness and saddle makers, watch makers and
jewellers, tailors and furniture manufacturers.
There is no longer need of persons going to the rv
or from this portion of Kansas TO trade. They
not save even transportation. For our merchants
purchase of first hands, and in such large guam
titles and pay low rents. that they sell cheap
er, at retail, than the river merchants. There is
this other advantage in purchasing at home. The
money is kept in the country, and the effect will
ultimately build mp home demand for farm pro-
duee of all kinds equal to the supply.
The business facilities Of Emporia are being
largely increased. Extensive additions have late
ly been made to its trading capital. The town is
growing, in consequences, and adding to the val
ne of the entire surrounding country. railroad,
backed by the powerful influence of st. Louis,
and the rich tier of counties through which it
passes, is being constructed in this direction. and
with the design of ultimately making it the road to
the Rocky Mountain Geld Mines and the Pacific.
The road has been chartered to this place: and has
been included in the bill now pending before
Congress providing for an appropriation of lands.
for the construction of Railroads in Kansas- Its
construction at early day is no longer matter Of

property in town, said to the other day that he
would be one of company, large or small, to put
up stone building in Emporia, of size not less
than fifty feet front by eighty deep two good sto-
ries high-the lower part to be divided into two
store-rooms, the upper to be used for a hall; the
whole to be finished off in good style, and COM
pleted by before the first of October. We should
not be surprised to learn that the matter had been
reduced to q certainty, and that work would soon
be commenced.

Among the best neighborhood DIS and set elements
in this portion of Kansas is that of the Friends or
Quakers, about five miles west of Emporia. They
mostly, we believe, from North Carolina and
Indiana, and are quite numerous, while they are
constantly receiving accessions from arrivals.
They are about erecting commodious house for
worship near the center of the settlement. We
need say nothing in common ation of the Friends.
Their influence for good upon the stability and
morality of our society is generally felt and ac-
knowledged. We are happy to welcome all such
to Kansas, and hope their numbers may indef-
nitely increase.
