Everything must have an end--even contrary

solate days have lain here, tossed, tumbled, and
semi-sickened BY tho malignant waves, are at last
doubly gaddened firstly, by subsidence simultane-
ously Of the winds and waves, and secondly, BY an
order, which from certain encouraging circumstances
we are Disposed TO believe the last OF the season,
emitted by the General Commanding OF the hect, TO
the effect that the feet will sail tomorrow morning
at o'clock. And the winds, waves, tides, clouds,
and airs and waters Of every sort and description,

CONDITION OF THINGS IN TIE MISSOURI
KANSAS BORDER COUNTIES,
From The 81 Losi, Dsaocyat. oe'.


The cars which arrived from the West Oh Monday
evening brought here several families from Barton
County. Among them were those Of hlr. Allen,
formerly Of New-York, and OF Mr. Rose, formerly OF
Ohio. These gentlemen have been living for some
time in Lamar the county seat Of Barton County,
and doing business there; Mr.. Allen had store
there They ere now taking their families TO homes
in the last intending that they shall remain there
until the return Of more quiet times IN Missouri.
The account they give Of the condition of the more
southern counties bordering on Kansas IL most
painful one.
Early in June, Gov Jacksons army came through
Barton County and pressed great deal OF property
Of vsrons kinds, giving state serip In exchange for
it. Horses, mules and cattle We're taken groceries,
dry goods &c., flour, wlie.: and grain. Alter they
lett the Kansas "jayhawkerr" entered the country
from neehboring counties across the bne and seized
stock belonging to Seecssioniss. Large quantities
Of animals wero driven of. In one OF these forays,
three men who were on their way 10 join Jackson
were taken by them and sho,. The revenge for this
was the hanging Of two Of their men at subsequent
time. AZ an oiiset 10 tbese jsyhawkers, force wac
got together IA Barton and adjoining counties. These
neu did great deal of plundering at the expense OF
iiend and foe not limiting their seizures or rather
robbeIies TO farm stock stuf but robbing stores
and dwellings. Every store in Lamar was emptied
OF it, goods either by Jsckson's men or by this
" Home Guard" The desttution which bas followed
these successive scourges extreme There IL hardly
anything In the shape Of subsistence lett In the
county.
The horses and cattle have been driven off; the
wheat and grain have been seized, used up, OF
wasted; and there 10 On utter destita,ion OF suga

GREAT REJOICING BY THE CITIZENS

MEAT AND DRINK USED BY One MAN.-Some
genius has perpetrated the following calcu-
lation:
have been married 30 years, during
which time have received from the hands
of my wife three cups of coffee each day, two
in the morning and one at night, making
about 35, ,O4O cups of half pint each, nearly
40 barrels of 80 gallons each, weighing H.
529 lbs, or nearly 8 tons. Yet in that
period have rarely varied in weight from
l6O lbs. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
have drank, in coffee alone, 21S times my
own weight l am net much of an eater,
yet presume | have consumed about l8
ounces day, which makes $500 pounds or
10 oxen. Of -four / have consumed in 80
gears about so barrels. For twenty years
of this time | drank two wine glasses of
brandy each day, making 900 quarts. The
Port wine, Madeira, whisky punch, etc, am
not able to count, but they are not large.
When we take into consideration all the
vegetables in addition. such as potatoes,
peas, asparagus, strawberries, cherries, pears,
peaches, raisins, ETC., the amount consumed
by an individual is enormous. Now, my
body has been renewed more than four times
in 80 years, and taking it for granted that
the water, of which have drank more, acts
merely as dilutant, yet taken together, |
conclude have consumed in 80 years about
the weight of ll08 men of l60 pounds each.

The CoLD. SHoULDER.-Mr. Buchanan was
not to be received with honor on his return
to his home in Wheatland. On the contrary,
the people among whom his lot is to be cast
on his retirement from Office respectfully
decline to make any demonstrations in his
honor. An invitation to participate in a
public reception of the ex-President having
been extended by a committee of citizens of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to the Select and
Common Councils and the Fire Department
of the day, the President of the Common
Council, remarked:
Even Mr.. Buchanan's friends must admit
that a majority of our people think the
course of his administration, until very re-
Gently, has been neither creditable to himself,
honorable to the Democratic party, nor bene-
fetal to the State or Nation. 1t is just such
manifestions as this motion proposes, that
shock the sense of justice in honest men, and
cause them to doubt the sincerity of the dec
trine of measures and not men," Bestow
honors where praise is justly merited, but
suffer the undeserving to pass through the
world in silence.
Considering that the members of the Com
mon Council are all Democrats, this is an un-
kind cut. Moreover the Lancaster Fencibles,
q, military company, rejected a motion to
accept the invitation by vote of Is to IL.
In the Sun Fire Company the invitation was
lost by tie vote, but at a subsequent meet
ing it was carried by bare majority. The
Hook and Ladder Company rejected it unani-
mously. The Union Fire Company received
and accepted the invitation as mark of re-
spect to an old member Of the Company

are from work by a Massachusetts, writer,
entitled The Ebony Idol
In this story worthy clergyman, of
moderate endowments, gives temporary
asylum to Caesar, and labors to explain what
he expected of him in return:
~ wish to do for you all that can do
wisely and as christian, but cannot dis
tress my family to serve you or squander the
small means at my command. would like
you to work in the garden, cut my wood,
and do such errands and chores as will as
sist my wife. 1t seems to me you cannot
but be willing to do this"
Caesar sat-dog eyed and sullen, without
even pretending to listen. Mr.. Gary spoke
more warmly: II shall make inquiry for you
that you may obtain employment in some
reliable family, where you can be paid for
your labor as soon as such opening is found
shall expect you will leave as willingly"
"Dis nigger didn't come norf to work, no
how get work enuf at de souf," cried Caesar
Indignantly
"But you must work or starve liberty is
nothing unless you can be clothed and
fed.'

it; it was JUS dem cussed abolitioners I; and
dat is fact, Massa Cary"
Mr.. Cary groaned. 1t was evident that he
had indeed fallen upon fallow ground. "Ce-
sar, all gifts are from God He has doubt
less some motive in releasing you from

"Nebber heard any niger, black or white,
call my old massa cruel task-master afore.
He was gemman as is a gemman."
