The Kansas Chronicles.

l. Man that is born of woman and enlist
eth as a soldier in the Kansas First, is of
few days and short of ." rations'
2. He cometh forth at g reville," is pres
ent also at ''retreat, yea, even at tattoo,
and retireth, apparently, at ''taps"
8. He draweth his rations from the Com
missary and devoureth the same. He stri-
keith his teeth against much 'hard bread,
and is satisfied. He flleth his canteen with
aqua pura, and clappeth the mouth thereof
upon the bung of a whiskey barrel, and af-
ter little while goeth away rel oicing in his
strategy.
4. Much soldering hath made him sharp!
yea, even the seat of his breeches are in
danger of being cut through.
5. He covenanteth with the credulous
farmer for many chickens, and much honey
and milk, to be paid promptly at the end
of each ten days; and 10 his regiment
moveth on the ninth day to another post.
6. His tent is filled with pota toes, cab
bage, turnips krOut, and other delicate NOR
sells of delect delicious taste, which abound
not in the COmmissary department.
7. And many other things not in the ''re-
turn and which never will return; yet, of
a truth, it must be said of the Kansas First,
that of surety he taketh nothing which he
cannot reach
s. He freth his MIME rife at midnight,
and the whole camp is at once aroused and
formed into line, when 10 his mess come
bearing in a nice porker, which he solemn
ly decareth, so ress;..ed SSecesh. rat he
was compelled to pull trigger
9. He giveth the Provost Marshal much
trouble, often capturing his guard and pos
sesses himself of the city
TO- At such times, lager pretzels flow like
milk and honey from his generous hand
He giveth without stint to his comrades,
yea and withholdeth not from the lank
expectant Hoosier of the Indiana Twenty
fourth
II. The grunt of pig, or the Growing
of cock, awakeneth him from the sound
est sleep, and he sauntereth forth, until
haulted by the guard, when he instantly
clappeth his hand upon his bread-basket,
and the guard, in commisseration, alloweth
him to pass to the rear.
u. No sooner hath he passed the sentry's
beat than he striheth a "bee-line" for the
nearest hen-roost; and seizing pair ofpul-
lets, returreth, soliloquizing to himself
The noise of goose saved Rome, how
much more the flesh of chicken preserve
the soldier"
IS. He playeth euchre with the parson
whether there shall be preaching in the camp
on the Sabbath, and, by dexterously ''turn-
inO a lack" from the bottom nOstnOneth the
service.
IA. And many other marvellous and
strange things doeth he, and 10 ! are they
not already recorded in the morning reports

ADVANTAGES OF WoMEN.-A woman
says what she chooses without being knocked
down for it. She can take snoze after
dinner, while her husband goes to work
She can go into the street without being
asked to 'stand treat at every salocn.-
She can paint her face if it be too pale, and
powder it if too red. She can stay at home
in time of war, and get married again if her
husband be killed. She can wear corsets if
too thick-other fxins if too thin. She
can get divorced from her husband when
ever she sees one she likes better She can
get her husband in debt all over until he
warns the public not to trust her on his ac-
count Them's 'em.

LABoR.-Why, man of idleness, labor
has rocked you in the cradle, and nourished
your pampered life without it, the woven
silk and wool about your back would be in
the shepherds fold. For the meanest thing
that ministers to human want, save the air
of heaven, man is indebted to toll and even
the air in Gods wise ordination, is breathed
with labor. 1t is only the drones who toll
not, who infest the hives of the active like
masses of corruption and decay The lords
of the earth are working men, who build or
cast down at their will, and who retort the
sneer of the ''soft-headed' by pointing to
their trophies wherever art, science, civili-
cation and humanity are known. Work on,
man of toll thy royalty is yet to be ac-
knowledged, as labor rises onward to the
highest throne of power.

How THE INHABITANTS OF New YORK
LIvE.-The population of the city of New
York is estimated to be about 100000 per-
sons, and from the report of the Board of
Police Commissioners, it appears that 401,-
900 of this number reside in tenement
houses, or houses containing four families
and upward. The report contains several
equally startling developments among 9TH
ers the following There are in the city
1000 houses having 53,337 inmates, each
inmate being allowed from 100 to 800 Gu
bic feet 1891 houses having lO3, ,371 in
mates, each inmate having between 800 and
460 cubic feet; and 2,517 houses having
79, 1862, inmates, each inmate being allowed
between 400 and 500 cubic feet. Of12,21O
houses, it was discovered that in case of fire
the means of escape in 1892, occupied in
the aggregate by 1865 persons, were de-
void Of the proper means of escape.

We have important intelligence from the
rebel States by way Of Fortress Monroe
Dispatches from Augusta and Savannah, Ga,
render il probable that an attack on the lat
ter will soon be made. A number Of nation
al vessels had passed up behind Little Tybce
Island to the north end of Wilmington ISL
and. thereby cutting of communication be-
tween Fort Pulaski and the city. At last
accounts six of them were at Walls Cut,
and seven at the head of Wilmington Island,
commanding the channel of the river. Two
steamers, with provisions for Fort Pulaski,
had been conveyed by Tatnall's effect" down
the river, but our gunboats opened upon
them, compelling them 10 return To Sayan-
nah. The rebels boast. however. that the
fort is pr0visioncd for six months, and that
it cannot bs taken by any force which the
Government can bring againstit. All (which
remains to he proved.
A Richmond despatch Of the 2Sth, in the
Norfolk Day Book, says:
Notwithstanding thecomparatively threat
eued condition Of Savannah, the Government
here has the utmost confidence, from knowl-
edge OF the situation. resources and dcientes,
OF the ability, experience and gallantry OF
the officers and men commanding and on ser
vice there, that Savannah cannot be taken
by the Federals.
The editor Of the Richmond Dispatch seems
to concede the probable capture osSayannah,
and undertakes its importance, as follows t;
"Whcn at Savannah, what have the YAM
KEGS attained2 The people there will hold
no intercourse with them. Were the trading
Rhode Island Senator there with his vessels,
he would find no one to open a trade with
him. There is, indeed, nothing there. There
is no cotton in Savannah, and the hanks have
transferred their yaluahlcs To the interior 20
there is nothing for trade and little where
