THE ROYAL PAUPERS.

More murmerings of discomfort may
be expected in England shortly. 1t is
announced that the Queens second son,
the Duke of Edinburgh, is to be mar
ried to the daughter Ofthe King of Den
mark, a sister of the Princess of Wales.
The young lady has royal blood and OF
Christian names, but no dowry. The
Duke, who on his majority was made a
life pensioner on the British nation to
the amount of $4,000 year, will ex-
pect an increase of his pension when he
is married; and the Queen, who has
a private fortune of $l5,O00,000, will
doubtless apply to Parliament to vote a
dowry to the future Duchess. Great
dissatisfaction was expressed when the
House of Commons granted $4,000
dowry and $4,000 pension to the Prin-
cess Louise, although her marriage with
the Marquis of Lorne was popular one.
AS the Duke of edinburgh is the heir to
an Independent Principality in Ger
many, and is likely to spend the great
er portion of his life and money there,
it is probable that any attempt to pro-
cure him an increase of pension will ex-
cite intense disapprobation among the
working classes.

DISEASES PREVALENT IN THE
WORLD.
EXCURsIoNIsT

Though we are enjoying an exemp-
ton from pestilence in this locality,
we cannot be Indifferent to the misfor-
tunes of other communities who are
stricken by such calamities. The Med
ical Gazette gives a resume of the dis
eases now prevalent in various parts of
the world, from which it appears that
small pox yet fingers, though with di-
minished intensity, in some of the
southeastern portions of the United
States, as also in England, Scotland and
Ireland. In Paris, where dead bodies
have so long been neglected and poison
the air, and where starvation has lent
its malefic influence, small poX, typhoid
fever, and abdominal affections cOntin-
ne their ravages, and tetanus and pyR-
mia prevail among the wounded. In
Lyons hydrophobiai is on the increase !;
influenza, pneumonia, acute articular
rheumatism, and erysipelas show no
abatement, and scarlet fever is increas-
ing. At Vienna during April, typhoid
fever and petechical typhus prevailed to
such an extent that special supplement
tary hospital was necessary. Small
pox is epidemic at Berlin, and prevails
more or less in almost every town and
village throughout Germany. In Hol-
land, also, this terrible disease is at
work, especially at Delft and Breda, and
at last accounts was increasing at Am
sterdam. The same is true of Italy.
Russia is afflicted with cholera, as also
are some parts of Persia and in NADIA
gascar it is especially virulent, and it is
expected that India will enter upon an
other small pox cycle. Yellow fever is
abating in Buenos Ayres.

Some chap over at Arvonia, writes to
the editor of the Emporia Ledger, re-
questing the astute individual who is at
the helm of that remarkably strong
craft, to "LeH as" several things. Before
designating the numerous and very in
teresting little things which he is so
greatly DESTROYS of having impaired to
us, he states that we have finally "made
an effort to find out whether the war is
really over" We regard the statement
decidedly refreshing, coming as it does,
from u "Confedrit Y roads dimikrat."
We are pleased to state to Arvonia
Navajo" Chats his name) that we have
n slight recollection of a transaction
which occurred several years ago at Ap-
pomatox Court House, in the State OF
Virginia, which was generally conceded
to to be the ending of the "onpleasant-
ness" brought upon the country by the
leaders of the Democratic party. o, yes,
it is entirely superfuous to "tell u.s.
that that war is over. Everybody, ex-
cepting about half of the so-called dem
ocratic party, knows that much.
Mr.. Navajo" is greatly delighted
over the establishment of such journal
as the Ledger, and predicts that, mas
much as it is conducted by men of pro-
found ability, it will be the means of
converting the entire Republican party
10 the sanity ideas of modern so-called
Democracy. We suspect that he will
be greatly disappointed, even before an
other wear. Wen see.

CgEEEsE TREATMENT OF ANNALS
They meyer punish; hence mule that
in the hands OF . foreigner would be
not only useless but dangerous to every
one about it, becomes in the possession
of a chinaman as quiet as lamb, and as

found the same rattling cheerful pace

beast turning to the right or left, and

federal government is only needed to
protect citizens. Liberal and kindly
action on the part of the general gov
eminent was needed to heal the wounds
of the south. The fathers of the coun-
try had departed from the principles of
the Declaration of Independence by toll
Grating slavery, and from that cause
sprung war, dissolution and rapine.
The country, he continued, is now free
from the stain of slavery. We have a
nation of freemen without regard to
race and color, and constitution is now
in harmony with the Declaration of In
dependence, all men being now entitled
to life liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. The senator concluded by saying
that all the evils of the late war were
brought about by a departure from the
principles of liberty therefore VOW for
yourselves, and teach your children, to
wage eternal hostility against all men
and nations who oppose the doctrine
that all men are created equal.

THE NEOsHO COLONY.

Our Welsh citizens are delighted
with the favorable prospects of their
new town In this county. The colony
town is surveyed and named Bangor, so
called after the cathedral city of Ban
gor, North Wales, around whiclf cIus-
ters historic "reminiscences of romantic
interest. The first building is about to
be erected, which will be a boarding
house, for the accommodation of land buy
ers.
The Rev. DIR. Price, of Wales. who
visited this country last year, and who
has been lecturing on America, both in
England and Wales, with great success
thus alludes to the Neosho colony in
his newspaper, the Star of Wales:
Many have enquired of us in refer
ence to the advertisement in the Star,
about the Neosho colony lands. We
have answered several personally, and
for the benefit of others, copy from the
Drych (the Welsh American Mirror,
an article by William Benjamin Jones,
Esq, of Emporia, Kansas, giving more
detailed account of the place than we
conld, in personal correspondence"
Having given the address, the DIR.
continues:
Cali we have to say is this, that we
have every confidence in Mr.. Jones.
lie Is one of the most reliable, consci-
entiOus, honest and honorable men il is
possible TO deal with. He would pre-
fer that Emporia be consumed with fire,
and that Kansas be sunk in the depths
of the sea, rather than practice deceit
with any man. Therefore the most i'm
plicit confidence cali be placed in what
he says. The Mirror said sometime
ago that it was probable that nr. Price
had some interest in the enterprise.
The Mirror was mistaken in this. We
have no interest whatever in this or any
other land enterprise in any country.
We contemplate becoming possessed of
a piece of land in America-We intend
to posses as much as Abraham had whsal
he bought the cave of Macpelah afore-
time and if Mr.. Jones will select a
beautiful spot for us in the garden of
Kansas, it is possible we may with the
children, spend a summer there some
time in the future. A little respite and
quietness in the garden will be a great
blessing, after the severe lsbors of the
present day."
The BeV. DIR. Price is one of the most
eminent public r3en in Wales, and will
probably be soon returned for one of
the Welsh cities or Burrough to the
British House of Commons. 1t is a
great thing for the Neosho calony to re-
ceive the endorsement of man so well
known for his great services and reli-
gious labors, not alone in the Principal
ity of Wales, but in England also. We
refer those wishing to know more
about the colony to Bachelor & Jones,
Emporia, kansas.-BUrIsngton Patriot.

THE FOURTH AT PARSONS

Mr.. EDITOR: Having attended the
celebration yesterday at Parsons,
thought brief account of it might in
terest some of your readers.
We had pleasant trip down, getting
on the six O'Clock train at Emporia, and
arriving at our destination few
minutes after one. AS most of
your readers know there is no finer
looking country than that along the III.
X. s. I. II. X. from Emporia to Parsons.
The crops look promising, particularly
about Humboldt. The towns along the
road all have healthy look, but Par
sons appears at present to be the head
center.
We must say for Parsons that, for its
size, it is promising town, situated on
Labette creek, and is surrounded by
beautiful country. When we arrived
we found trains of beautiful coaches
standing on the tracks of the different
branches of the NJ. L. & T., and in a
walk through the city and visit to the
grounds of the celebration we found
they had come in loaded almost to over
flowing. Besides these were something
over a hundred wagons and carriages.
The ground selected for the occasion
was about one mile east of town, in
grove, where was to be seen everything
| to make one realize that it was the
Fourth of July flags, toasts, music, &C.,
and for the enjoyment of those fond of
sports there were swings, gymnastic
ropes, and an arbor for keeping time
with the feet after music; and for the
| hungry there were some half dozen ia
bles loaded down and beautifully ar
ranged with almost anything you could
call for that is good to eat; and plenty
| of ice cream and lemonade to cool you
of. We had almost forgotten to say
that Col. Davis, Col. Honres, a Mr..
Smith and Judge Parsons were the
principal speakers. There were some
two or three other gentlemen that de-
livered short addresses, but we did not
get their names. Suffice it to say that
all did their subjects justice and them
selves credit. After the programme at
the grove, the company repaired to the
town to witness a dance by some of our
mel ghbors, the Kaw Injins, which both
the Indians and the lockers on appear
cd to enjoy-particularly the dancers as
1 understand they received for their ex-
ercises five dollars each, free ride
down and back, and free dinner,
which latter we know they enjoyed for
they seat heap" which no one dare
dispute. The number present was vari-
ously estimated at from two to five
thousand our guess was almost three
thousand. The provisions, lemonade,
ice cream, &C., sold on the ground, we
learned, was for the benefit of a couple
of churches that are building houses
of worship. The amount of the pro-
ceeds we did not learn, but judge it to
be somewhere in the hundreds. We
think Parsons has bright future. and
were well pleased with its surround
ings, except, perhaps, one thing, and
and that we may be mistaken in, but in
walking up and down the streets, or one
street particularly, it put US somewhat
in mind of an outfit for the rebel army in
81 and '62, and that was said to be one
barrel of something to cat and about
four of something to drink.
| Yours,
| EXCURsIoNIsT.

is a plain, bat faithful saying, "Eat
your brown bread firSt," nor is there a
better rule for young mars outset in
the world. While you continue single
you may live within as narrow limits
as you please and it is then you must
begin to save,in order to provide for the
moro enlarged expenses of your future
family. Besides plain frugal life is
supported most cbeerfuIly; it is your
own choice, and it is TO be justified on
tbs best and most honest principles in
the world, and you have nobody's
pride to struggle with, or appetites to
master but your own. AS You advance
in life and success, it will be expected
you should give yourself greater iPdpl-
gence, and you may then be allowed to
do it both reasonably and safely.

The following from the pen of Alex.
II. Stephens, late Vice President of the
Southern Confederacy, and at present
editor of the Columbus, (Ga.) Sun, may
of some interest if not advantage to
the "new departurist" and all who have
a leaning that way. Mr.. Stephens is
one of the most conservative men of
the Democratic party, so much SO, that
even during the rebellion he was in
bad odor with the rebels, and was cho-
sen to the Office he filed rather to 81
lence him on the war question than for
his hearty support of the cause:
"If any Democrat has changed his
opinion and come to the conclusion that
the Radical policy was right, then it is
not dishonorable for him to say so; but
when he does it, the only honorable
course for him to pursue afterwards is
TO go and join that party"
