As near as can be estimated from the
partial and loose census taken BY the
assessors last Summer, the population of
Kansas is now about 600, 900. This is
an increase of 10000 in three years.
The Paola Spirit thinks that at that rate
the census Of 1880 will show their State
to have a population of over 100000.

AN AMUSING STORY.

sThe man in the Gallery" writes
10 the Albany Times:
A gentleman who now occupies a
seat in the upper branch, but at the
time was a member ofthe assembly,
relates the following:
Perkins was as honest a man as
ever set foot in Albany. Money
wouldn't buy him, and ! knew it,
| but | thought would have little
fun with him; so | went down to
his room one evening and said |:
perkins, what do you think Of that
underground railroad bill Are
you going to vote for it ~
"Well said Perkins, II haven't
made mp my mind yet, exactly. |
am inclined to think it is "a good
bill but why do you ask 7"
II thought you were in favor of
it," said, land as long as you have
concluded to vote for it, | just
wanted to say to you that the men
int, ested in it are paying five hun.
dred dollars for votes. and as it is
coming up on it's final passage to
morrow, you can just as well have
the money as not you'll vote for
the bill any way"
"Vote for the bill /! Iii be- hanged
first" cried the irate Perkins. "No
sir. If improper means are being
taken TO pass this thing as you say,
/ for one viii. vote against it every
time. You can put me down "no."
"Oh, don't care any thing about
the bill, said | II was only trying
10 do you favor, and :hink can
vet, for, to tell the truth, the rival
companions are here in full force,
and are moving heaven and earth
to defeat it. They are paying the
same amount for mos" and as long
as you are bound to vote that way
m get you the five hundred dollars
all the same"
"Can such a thing be n ex
claimed Perkins, rising from his
seat and tearing up and down the
room in a whirlwind of virtuoIs in-
"What a state Of things
this is! A plauge on both your
Houses (! / won't vote at ALL"
"AIl right" said as | laid my
hand on the door, "l'll get you five
hundred dollars for being absent"

EFFECTS OF OPIUM.

Unless taken for the relief of dis
ease, and even administered with
The greatest caution, the continued
action of opium, as sensual stimu
liant, tends rapidly to the wasting
of youth, health and strength and
beauty. Those who begin its use at
twenty may expect to die at thirty
years Of age, the countenance be-
comes pallid /; the eyes assume
wild brightness, the memory fails,
the gait totters, mental exertion
ard moral courage sink. and ter
rible atrophy reduces the victim to
horrible spectacle who has ceased
to exist. There is no slavery SO
great as that of the opium taker:
one habituated to his dose as a fac
,ious stimulant, every thing will be
endured rather than the privation,
and the unhappy being endures all
the modification of q consciousness
Of his own degraded state while
ready to sell his wife and children,
body and soul, for the continuance
Of bis wretched and transient de-
light; transient. indeed--for al
length the utmost effect produced is
a temporary suspe nsion Of agony,
and, finally no dose Of the drug will
remove or relieve a state of suffering
which it is utterly impossible to de-
scribe. The pleasurable sensations
and imaginative ideas arising al
frs, soon pass away they become
fainter and fainter, and at last en-
tirely give place to horrid dream'
and appalling plc,rues Of death
Spectres Of fearful visage haunt ths
| mind--the light which once seemed
TO emanate from heaven is converted
into the gloom Of hell-sleep, hal
