REMOVING TIE SETTLERs-According to
latest accounts from Kansas, the United
States troops were forcibly removing the
white settlers from what is called the "Cher.
okee neutral land" a correspondent Of the
Lesvenworth Times, says: "Seventy-four
houses have been burned, and at least one
hundred families turned out upon the bare
prairies, all by that subtitle acquaintance of
ours called the power of the Federal Gov
ernment. | have, during the last twenty
four hours, conversed with at least twenty
persons from that county, and all give it as
the saddest scene ever witnessed in Kansas
Women and children are now sheltered in
the bushes along the creeks, mourning their
hard fate. They feel isconsolate-almost
sick Of life Some say they would as soon
die as leave the country they have been la
boring so hard to improve during the last six
years. In fact, the whole community are
quite discouraged, and know not what to do.
They almost feel deserted-as cast out from
everybody"

Jimmy Jones and his Parrot,
BY THE BARD OF quMcy HALL.

AhAfN
Jimmy Jones, not over prudent,
Had very prudent wife,
And his conduct, rs a husband,
Led TO some domestic strife.
Once he bought pretty parrot,
And an eagle for IL paid;
To his home he went rejoicing
O'ur the bargain he had made
"Foollsh mani" exclaimed his lady.
"Buyiuu birds to eat our bread
What ON earth could put such nonsense
In your go0d-for nothing head?
az, myself, can do the talking!
You may laugh, It's so indeed
can talk from night 'lll morning,
and no parrots help need
'You are wanting clothes for Sunday,
And the money fooled away
For that squaling, bawling parrot,
For decent coat would pay"
"Where, my dears" replied the husband,
"For sum so very small
Could buy a coat?" The parrot
Quickly answered; "Quincy Hall"
"Ouiucy HALL" exclaimed the lady,
"Bless my heart, What have heardY
Mercy on us Jimmy darling,
Did you hear that cunning birj?"
"Yes, did," replied the husband,
''And you see the bird is cute;
To Quincy Hall wen hasten,
And there buy a Sunday suit"
1t was bought, and fifteen dollars
On the suit he really saved,
Mrs. Jones, amazed, delighted
Said, you've heretofore been shaved
"But that darling, little parrot
Which gave rise TO such a squall,
Turned your steps from other places,
To the famous Quincy HALL.
"You have saved the price of Polly,
On your suit, you plainly See
And, at least, five dollars over,
Which will buy dress for me
"Your expenses now for clothing
VIII be very, very small,
And wen make pet of Polly

GARDALDI's VIsr TO RoME.-Garibaldi

tai of the world, now the capital of sect
The Rome which bad painted in my imagi-
nation no longer existed. The future Rome,
rising to regenerate the nation, has now long

sPringing from the past, in short, have had a
prevailing influence on me during my life
Rome, which had before admired and tho't
of frequently, have ever since loved. 1t has
been dear to me above all things. | not only
admired her for her former power and the
remains of antiquity, but even the smallest
thing connected with her was precious to me.
Even in exile, these feelings were constantly
cherished in my heart, and often, very often,

to see that city once more. regarded Rome

scribes visit which he paid last month to a
lady at Toledo, Ohio, who takes six live frogs
as a remedy for consumption. She was re-
commended to do it by an Englishman, who
said he was cured in that way. In six weeks
this singular medicine has restored her from
a state of great weakness to strength. The

jar and swallow him whole without chewing.

SUFFERING IN KANsAs.-The Washington
correspondence of the Union Gays that the
people are fleeing from their famine-smitteu
cabins in Kansas lie adds:
Throughout the greater part of the Ter.
ritory an unparalleled drouth has destroyed
all the crops, and now winter and famine
stare the hapless pioneer in the face.
For a hundred and fifty miles west of the
Missouri every highway is crowded with
wagons, filled with men, women and child
ren, fleeing az if death were in the rear;
while for those left behind, only the saddest
prospects are before them. The cause of the
want and suffering in a Territory whose soil
tS naturally rich and FERTILE and which has
heretofore been represented as almost de-
luged with milk and honey, is to be traced
10 the all but entire absence of rain for
nearly whole year, over its eastern section"
The President is waking.up to the necessity
of doing something for the people of Kansas
lie has referred the matter to Thompson, the
Secretary of the Interior
