Davis, of Kentucky, a little garrulous old
man, who spends thu greater portion of each
session in jumping up to defend his own
personal dignity. Whenever clever thing
is said to him, he loses his temper. and at
tempts to say something intensely sarcastic
which is only intensely ill-natured. He has
40 love for Massachusetts. detests abolition
lists, speaks of a slave precisely as he d ,es
of a horse, processes to be disciple of Hen
~ Clay, and is without doubt heartily, truly
devoted to the "Union as it was" In strik-
ing contrast with this irascible little gentle
man, is Senator Harlan, of Iowa, a kind,
calm man. in seeming, with clear pure face,
looking as if he could not be ill-natured, if
he tried. An utter lack of pretension marks
the bearing of this gentleman. He evident
ly spends very little time studying the per-
fections of Senator Harlan. Ifhis face tells the
truth, he does the work of lie quietly and
faithfully. because it is the work given him
to do, without blowing a trumpet to tell how
we'll he has done it. The struggling, the
needy, the sorrowful, would instinc(iyely
know. him as a friend.
Here at last is Massachusetts, seated in
two chairs. can't help what you think,
Republican, I don't believe that Massachu-
sets will ever send a more perfect embod-
ment of herself combined in two men than
is found in these two chairs to day Here
all the qualities that ever discovered in the
dear old common wealth-her esthetic taste,
her finished culture, her procivity for the
cries more or less practicable, her capaci :
ty for work, her inexhau stible energy, her
exquisite self c0nsciousneSs, her harmless
egolism, her unotfending self-prai5e, her
generous praise of others, her power and
pIestige-al are in one or the other of these
chairs. 1t is superfluous that should tell
you again that Charles Summers head is
Grecau; that Mr.. Wilson has strong,
earnest face. OF course Massachusetts
knows how her Senators look. But you
may not know that in the Senate Chamber,
Mr.. Wilson is usually doing one of three
things: rushing out to attend to the LOBBYIST,
writing as if for life, or dealing some very
vigorous Lhrusts at the troublesome gentle
men from the border Safes. There is no
greater worker In the Senate than Senator
Wilson. He is true and earnest, and what
ever may be thought OF his measures, no one
can doubt the sincerity of his convictions.
Mr.. Sumner likewise is always busy, either
reading his enormous mail, writing, or lean
ing back to give spasmodic brush to an
audacious mote which has been so presump-
tuous as to alight on his fastidious coat
sleeve. Mr.. Sumner has always been true
to himself, true TO his ideas, true to his con-
situents, and embodies as perfectly as any
man can, one phase Of Massachusetts,, while
Senator w. as perfectly embodies the other.

EAIPORIA, KANSAS, SATURDAY. APRIL 4, 1868

New England its eli innate has grown much
milder; even New England winters could
not stand the eternal fault finding of the
PuritaHs.
As long as this controversy between na-
ture and the Puritan was confined TO New
England, men were patient. But within
hundred years NE have seen great mischiefs
introduced upon the rest of the continent.
There is the Hessian fly, that has robbed
millions on millions of dollars from the
wheat; there are weeyils, and blights. and
the curculio on trees; and then we have the
Canada thistle, the very Yankee of botany
sharp, hungry, and prolific with million
of seeds, and every seed sure TO sprout,
growing ten times as fast when you cut il
up by the roots as when you let it alone.
Among all these, none have been so much
deplored as the spread of the Yankee He
is the plague of thsscoptinent; goes every
where; engages in everything; is always
and everywhere the same disputing, med
ding. reforming character he was in Eng
land, is in New England, and seems likely to
be till tie end Of the world. Agitator in
politics. disputant in theology. fault fnder
in morals, prying up peaceful citizens
houses to see if the underpInning is safe; the
vender of gimcracks to every housekeepsr,
he has always some new way of grinding, or
screwing, or twistingeor rolling, or churn
ing. or knitting, or blowing. to show. His
plows and washing machines would build
the Chinese wall. The Puritan Yankee has
at last exhausted the patience of the saints
of the plantations, and they have determined
to hunt him home to his den.'' and shut
him up there all by himself. We would
suggest, therefore, that all the Yankee in-
ventons be collected, and a wall be built
ofthe carts, plows, reapers, churns, sewing
machines, clocks, stoves. and all the con
trivances which the indefatgable Yankee
has invented; and that all the Yankee books,
spelling books, reading books, histories, ge-
ographies. theological books. be piled upon
the top of these, and that it be rendered
lawful to shoot any Yankee who attempts to
scale the wall; and then it may be hoped
thae, left to feed upon these, they may be-
come refined beyond the body, and perad-
venture the whole stock may rise some windy
day in blessed translation and leave the
world in peace, to shudder at nothing any
more, except the rememb rance of the horrid
Yankees ! II. ". Be2cher.

a Mess of Greens.

Most people highly enjoy dish of greens.
1t is the first contribution of the season
which the garden makes to the table, and it
brings the assurance that spring is st hand.

come. Many persons rely upon the sPon-
taneous growth of the fields, aud make uss

called cowslip), dock and other things.
These are better than nothing, but they are
far inferior to what may be produced with
little care from the garden.
At the head of the list we put Spinach,
as the most delicious of ofall This can BE-
had very early by planting in the fall, and
giving a slight protection through the win
ter. Or sow in thu spring as soon as the
ground is suitable. and the rapidly growing
plants will give an early supply to the table.
Next, we place the Swiss Chard, a kind
of beet. which is grown for the leaves only.
the root being small and useless. The outer
leaves are pulled off for use, and others
quickly succeed them; a small bed will
supply family.
Cabbage stumps. aud turnips planted out,
will yield numerous shoots which make
good green's. They should be taken when
sllll tender. Young beets. which are pulled
up when the beds are thinned, are cooked
with the roots on and are relished by many.
Borecole, or kale, is great favorite with
the Germans. This is hardy kind of cab
bage, which does not head, but forms tuft
of leaves, which are eaten after they have
been exposed to frost. Planted in the fall,
and left out with little or no protection, il
furnishes an abundant stock of green's early
in the season.
These are the principal varieties of greens
grown in the garden. though others are 90.
casionally used. The custom of boiling
greens with pork or other fat meat is bad
one. The delicate flavor of spinach, esps-
cially, is destroyed in this way, and all
greens are rendered less digestibIe. It is
much better to boil them in pure water, and
dress them with butter and other seasonings
as they are sent to the tabls.-AnerieGH

THE YANKEE.

There lies, between the st. Lawrence and
the Atlantic Ocean, little gore Of land, a
few hundred miles wide and long, which
seems to have been made up of the frag-
ments and leayin9s, after the rest of the con-
tInent was made. Its ribs stick out beyond
all covering; it has sand enough to scour
all creation; there are no large rivers, but
there are many nimble little ones, that seem
to have been busy since the Flood, in taking
exercise over the riffs and rocks. It's indi-
genous productions are ice, Indians, and
trees. It's wild fruits are whortleberries and
chestnuts. About the time that this part
of the continent was first explored, great
plague had swept off a large portion of its
Indians. Trading and commercial adven-
turers had endeavored to effect settlement
in vain. The place seemed to- hard for
Indians and rowing traders. This tongue
of land was set apart, apparently, for a will
derness, and it had peculiar aptitudes for
keeping men away from it. It's summers
were short, its winters long, its rocks 10 :
Vulnerable, its soil thin. Bounded to the
north by hyperborean cold, to the east by
endless forests, to the south b the ocean;
only tothe west was there an opening thro'
which the people could make their way out,
should there ever be population. To set
tie this cold, sterile, and somber corner Of
the creation, race of men was raised up
called the Puritans. Naturalists tell US that
every plant has its insect, and every animal
its parasite; so there must be some sort OF
animal adapted to live on these Shores
aud that animal was the Puritan. The
Puritan was not described by Cuvier, or by
any naturalist. None of the modern ethno-
graphers have given attention 10 this class
of beings. They have been described IN
popular literature and in newspapers; and
if we may not believe them what shall we
believe?
Taking our idea from political speeches
and newspapers, the Puritan was a hard,
tough, gaunt creature, utterly devoid of taste
and OF the finer affections, but excessively
endowed with a holy combativeness. He
was always to be seen with his eyes earth
bound, and a sanctimonious face; whenever
they were lifted it was to fud fault, or mon
ey, as the case might be- He is supposed
to regard all men as wrong but himself; his
vocation is to put all things right There
fore he is tie moral tinker of the universe,
and is for mending ribs in morals, and put
ting patches upon conduct generally, max
ing up the deficiencies be detects in provi-
deuce and creation Like The sea bird he
IS ever on the wing. and never batter pleased
than in storm This character infests the
whole Western continent, and causes more
disputes, controversies, and excitements
than all the rest of the population put togeth-
er. No other parsonage could have lived in
New England. and nothing else could live
there If he did. lie was tougher than the
some. Grier than the sand, more obstinate

SDear and Svrup.

Sugar and Syrup.
We trust thas The farmers sre not neg
lectiDg. N the cotton and tobacco excite
ment, the sorghum aud imphee Gaze crop this
spring. It will be good thing for the cul-
tivators of the soil in Kansas to raise enough
cotton and fax to cIothe the little and big
people of the State, or what is the same
thing. raise enough TO sell to pay for what
clothes the people require.
But it is something equally to be desired
that they raise the cane and manufacture the
sugar and molasses necessary to supply the
home demand.
We have not the slightest doubt that this
latter thing can be done.
Our readers know we'll what we think OF
of the climate and soil of Kansas. IL sugar
can be made anywhere else in the United
States out of the juice of the sorghum and
imphee cane, it can be here out of it. They
did make it largely last year in Ohio and
Illinois.
This year the farmers are intending to do
a large business at it in some parts of both
of those States. They will reap deservedly
large gains.
We hope many of our farmers, who have
been raising the crop. and experimenting in
the manufacture of the syrup. have reached
something satisfactory in their efforts TO
granulqte it.
There has been much more information
of practical and tangible nature elected in
The various conventions of the sorghum
growers held in the States named, the last
winter, than ever before. We feel quite we'll
satisfied that, if those of our farmers who.
have really interested themselves in SOP
ghum growing, have read and properly di.
gested the full histories of last seasons.
successes in Ohio and Illinois, We may. au-
other year, sweeten our coffee and bread with
home made sugar.
When that object is once attained, there
is no longer doubt as to the great profit
there is in the crop.
The next thing in order. after it is DEM
onstrated that the farmers intend to make
the sorghum crop principal one, is "a
fnery.
That will grow up here some day before
we know it. There is great profit in the
business of refining syrups and sugars. and
there will be no trouble in getting that kind
of mandatory started here after the farm
ers settle the question of steady and perma-
nent business for it.
The syrup and sugar re6ners know, irs-
simultaneously, where they can invest so as
to turn their honest penny. "-Kansaa
