Diversity Of Interests.

The following was the great point in Mr..
Yancey's speech to the London "Fishmong-
eIs:"
They (the Confederates) occupy terri
tory as large as England, France, Spain and
Austria together they are ten millions in
number; they are chiefly importers of i'm
portant raw materials, and buyers of all
kinds of manufactured goods. Their pur-
suits, sell, climate and productions are totally
different from those of the North. They
think it their interest to bay where they can
buy cheapest, and to sell where they can sell
dearest. In all this the North differs, toto
c@lo, from them, and now makes war upon
us TO enforce the supremacy of their mis-
taken ideas and selfish interest
The European Times admits that this was
skilfully put, and may have some founda-
tion in fact but it then proceeds to hit the
nail exactly on the head, as follows:
But at the same time, the evils of opposing
interests, if they existed in the ratio that Mr..
Yancey claims, were winked at by the Sc.
cessionists as long as they, the Secessionists,
were allowed to govern the Union--as long
as they elected their own Presidents and
grasped the political patronage of the coun-
try. We heard little or nothing OF opposing
climate and productions when the last of the
Presidents elected by the South, Mr.. Bu-
chsnaD, came into power and did the bidding
OF those " no placed him in the White House
During the greater portion of the time since
America became independent of the British
| Crown, the South has ruled the North-le.
ultimately, we are wiling to admit, by con
stitutional means, but still ruled it, and the
South only sought an independent existence
| when this state of things was reversed, ant
| it became the turn of the North to rule thu
South. If, then, minority, powerful if yor
will, but still minority, are held to be en-
titled to dissolve great Federal compact
when, the majority of white men, in the pro
portion of three to one, refuse any longe
TO be so led, there must necessarily, if tn
cases of representative government.
Surely, our English brethren must be get
ting their eyes open.

Rev. E. D. Fisher, o Chaplain in General
Lanes Kansas Brigade, who commanded the
black squad of two hundred and twenty re-
fugees on the retreat from Springfield, and
who brought them all safely into Kansas,
writes;
When we had crossed the Kansas line,
we drew up our cavalry opposite the line of
our train, and announced that we were in
Kansas; that those men, women and chill
dren WERE FREEl and such cheering you
never heard "Three times three were
given for Kansas and Jim Lane, the liberia
tor. On the morning Of the 18th we began
the arduous task of finding houses for the
two hundred and twenty refugees. At Fort
Scott we secured homes for about fifty, and
distributed the property to their possess
sion. Here our camp was visited by horse,
thieves, who succeeded in running of four
horses belonging to the black boys. Cap
tain Insley and 1 captured one of them in
the vicinity of our camp.
We removed with the balance OF our
camp to Fort Lincoln, where we encamped
for the night and on the morning Il the
18th we commenced distributing otherRami-
lies, until forty or fifty others were disposed
Of We then moved forward toward Mound
City, and disposed of thirty or forty others,
getting all good homes, with "plenty of
work." and while 'Chaplains Moore and
Fisk were making dispositions of families,
l succeeded in discovering the stolen horses,
recaptured them and others, and brought
them into camp. From Mound City we
moved to "Dutch Henrys Crossings" and
made arrangements to send detachments to
Ohio City and Topeka. On Sabbath day we
were under the necessity of travelling be-
cause of short rations, aud late in the af-
ternOon arrived with the remnant Of our
Black Brigade at Baldwin City.
Since the days of Moses such cavalcade
never moved from slavery to the land of
| Canaan. The anxiety about these families
is well grounded. But let us remember
Kansas has been drained of her working
men, who are now in the army. Millions
of bushels of corn are yet to be gathered
wood cut and farming generally done. And
we most honestly believe we could find
homes for at least thousand families in
our State. Thus Secession is weakened
her farms and crops stopped, and Free
Kansas can run the machine until Hayti
and South America are full. Let the work
| go on.

Committee on Foreign Affairs to inquire in'o

Ozone.

Schonbein has been industriously follow
ing up his researches respecting the pres
eDce Of this peculiar and most important
agency in the atmosphere. He has just
found that when strip ofpaper, moistened
with a solution of pyrogallic acid, is intro
duced into an atmosphere containing ozone,
it is rapidly darkened while, if no ozone
be present, the paper retains its original
whiteness A test of this body ought to be
as common in house as q barometer. The
test recommended by Doctor Angus Smith,
Miss Nightingale, and Others as we have
before remarked, 10 the alkaline permang-
anates or Condy's fluid, which, besides, is
itself vehicle of ozone, and, as free con-
tributor of it, is in extensive use as a sani-
tary agency identical in its nature with
the ozone Of the atmosphere itself-the great
scavenger and cleanser of nature. Ozone
is almost equivalent to health. In crowded
cities or unhealthy neighborhoods it is
scarcely ever to be detected while, on the
ocean, the sea- shore, or elevated open tracts
of country, it is almost invariably present
in quantity. The first outbreak of an epi-
demic such as cholera is always heralded
by a decrease of ozone in the atmosphere
while its temperance is almost as certain
sign of the cessation Of the sickness
Ozone appears to be essentially electrified
oxygen; and that in truth, is the vital all
which we breathe, and which sustains life
and health. Were the oxygen of the air en-.
treLy neutral, or unelectriied, it is doubtful
whether it would sustain life or constitute
ritaJ air at all.-London paper.
The above is so well stated, that it de-
mands respect at least. We are neither
ready to contradict or adopt its doctrines
but as electricity is the fashionable scape-
goat, laden with most of the unexplained
natural phenomena of the day, we always
view with jealous scrutiny the various re-
suits attributed to its action.

A MELANCHOLY RsLAPsE-The New York
Express says that old Virginia, (the secesh
part of it) is going back fast to the dark ages.
The special committee recently appointed by
the State Convention, TO report on certain
amendments to the Constitution, among
other absurdities, denounce what they call
"the system of free schools" That system
they think is unjust, educating, as it does,
the children of the poor at the expense OF
the rich, They are also opposed to unlimited
suffrage, etc.
Putting this and that together, what is
left for mankind 10 infer, but that the rump
of the Old Dominion is seeking to erect an
oligarchy of the most odious kind upon the
ruins with which her own folly has already
surrounded her.

A Coon CAToH-Very extraordinary in
cidents have been told of shOt'having been
caught in the mouths of soldiers in the War
of 1872, and the Mexican War, but an Incl
dent perhaps more remarkable occurred in
the battle of Fort Drane, fought in 1887.
During the hottest of the fight soldier re-
ceived shot which broke through the outer
part of his pantaloons, and lodged in his
right hand pocket Feeling the slight sting
of the spent ball, he thrust his hand in his
pocket, drew out the bullet, and dropped il
into the barrel of his musket. Then, OBJ
serving the very warrior who had shot al
him, he leyeled his gun and returned the
bsll with fatal effect

'IT'L ONLY ME."-A lady had two chill
dren-both girls. The elder was fair
child, the younger beauty, and the
mothers pet. Her whole love oentered in n
it. The elder was neglected, while "Sweet,"
(the pet name of the younger,) received
every attention that affection could bestow.
One day after severe illness, the mother
was sitting in the parlor, when she heard q
childish footstep on the stairs, and her
thoughts were instantly with her favorite.
as that you, Sweet2" she inquired.
"No, MAMMA" was the sad, touching re-
ply, ''it isn't Sweet; it's only me-"
: The mothers heart smote her, and from
that hour "only me" was restored to al
equal place in her affection.

A volunteer who prides himself upon the
domestic arts he has learned during camp
life, writes home to advise the girls not to
be in hurry to marry, for the boys will be
home in a short time, and they can get good
husbands that can cook, wash and iron,
and can do general house-work, or work in
the garden, or run errands for their wives.

THE DEMANDS FOR STIMULANTS. S.-There are
times when the pulse lies low in the bosom,
beats slow in the veins; when the spirit sleeps
the sleep, apparently that knows no waking in
its house of clay, and the window shutters are
closed, and the invisible Grape of melancholy is
drawn over US; when we wish the golden sun
shine was pitcby backness, and are very will
ling to fancy clouds where no clouds are. This
is state of sickness when physc may be thrown
to the dogs. for we will have none of it. What
shall raise the sleeping Lazarus? What shall
make the heart beat music again, and the pulse
to dance to it through all the myriad thronged
halls of the house of life? What shall make
the sun kiss the eastern hills again for us with
all his own awakening gladness and night
overflow with moonlight, music, love, and
flowers Love itself is the greatest stimulant
the most intoxicating of all and performs
all the miracles but it is a miracle itself, and
it is not at the drug store, whatever they may
say. The counterfeit is in the market, but the
winged god is not money changer, we can
assure you.
Men have tried many things, but still they
ask for stimulants. The stimulauts we use but
require the use Of more. Men try to drown
the floating dead of their own souls in the wine
cup, but the corpse will rise. We see their
faces in their bubbles The intoxicaton of
drink sets the world wbirling again and the
pulse playing the widest music, and the
thought galloping but the fast clock runs
down sooner, and the unnatural stimulation
only leaves the house it fills with the widest
reYery, the more silent, more sad more de-
serted, more dead. There is Only one stimu-
liant that never intoxicates-Duty. Duty puts
blue sky over every mau-up in heart mag.
in which is the leak. Happiness always goes
singing.

For SPoRTsMEN-Her is an explanation,os
a fact which has puzzled sporting nickname
ly, why the left barrel of gun bursts so much
more frequently than the right? The sport
man, on going out loads both barrels, and on
seeing bird rise, fires naturally the right one
he reloads that barrel, and when be again sees
bird or hare be fires again and SO he does
perhaps twenty times in succession. But each
firing gives a shock TO the charge in the left
barrel and at last the succession of shocks
separates the wadding from the powder and
shot the consequence is vacuum ensnes be-
tween them, and when the second barrel is
fred it Frequently bursts. To prevent this
danger the recommendation is made that when
ever the right hand barrel is loaded, the charge
in the left hand one should also be rammed
down.

THE SoRRowFuL MULTITUDE OF THE OLD
1t is sad to think of what multitude of old,
decrepid, friendless, homeless men will be
found in this State, ten or twenty years hence
Hundreds who, in the vigor of manhood and
hope, came and smote the undertook in vain
and sank to helplessness under disease, despair,
or the dread destroyer drink. Already we
begin to meet them, everywhere, from the
metropolis to the lonesome defles of the noun
tain, white-haired, shriveled, tottering and con-
suming, under the mildew of premature age
Lost to home and friends, too feeble to work,
unable to reach their kindred, where will they
go but 10 the hospitable grave? Poorer than
the foxes, more homeless than the birds, who
will care for them? who will uphold them,
down to the shadowy valley, where the waves
of eternity sound from the unseen shore?
Happily, there are brotherhoods to shelter
some, and here fraternal societies will do, and
are doing, the noblest work of humanity
And as the aged pilgrim totters down the
dreary valley, between the frowning hills of
poverty and old age, his dull ear will quicken,
and his old heart will warm anew, as he looks
above, and beholds two shining lights, one on
either hand, cleaning like clasps of fire on the
great belt of the heavens, and hears voice
saying command you to clothe the orphan,
comfort the widow, bury tie dead y and hears
the answer from the other, So mote it be )"
Oh, how these magic sentences will thrill along
his deadening nerves, making the halting Laz-
arus bound like the playful roe Placerville
News.

A VENITIAN Love SToRY.-A sad story
has plunged Venice into more than its wonted
sorrow. A young Hungarian noble in an
Austrian regiment had fallen violently in love
with beautiful Venitian girl. They met fire.
quently in society. She returned his passion,
told him that she would never marry another,
but that she could never marry him, an officer
in an Austrian regiment, while three Of her
brothers were fighting for Italy. Vainly did
the Hungarian urge bis sr't, earnestly did he
entreat meeting. At last the fair Venitian
wrote to him: q Have you sufficient courage
to kill me? If you consent l will meet you
to night But will meet you on this condi-
tion only, that you slay me, but respect me-
Should l receive no reply, shall come, and
know that you have the courage which ex-
pect from you." The girl went forth that
evening with boquet of snowwhite blossoms
in her girdle On the morrow, on the banks
of the lagune, the officers sword and scabbard
were found, raised in the form of a cross, and
in the stream below were found the bodies of
the two lovers, closely locked in each others
arms

on hunting excursion near that city, lately

and Latin manuscripts, in perfect preservation.
The treasures have been shipped to France.
