this city, and will remain until tomorrow. He
is well acquainted with the condition of affairs
in Kansas, and testifes to the suffering and
need of aid there. The cry of suffering hui
manity, especially when that cry comes from
our own countrYmen, has never heretofore
gone unIeeded by our citizens, but has always
been responded to with liberal hand. 1t is

our thankfulness to the givcr of all good, and
our sympathy for tho sorely distressed. by did
