Jealous French Count and his Betrothe0-
Marriage Stipula'ions.

From the Hartford Times.
York Of Earl Roseberry reminds me OF
tho number Of American girls VINO
have been Tilted by foreigners On &C
count Of their lack of fortune. There
are more than one of the fair bellies Of
Washington who have been similarly
treated. One young lady even went SO
far as to change her religion in order
to remove what the family called an
objection. Her lover departed with
the promise of returning. She has
never seen him since, but shortly al
| ter his arrival in France he wrote to
announce his marriage to lady whom
his father had selected for him'o ac-
count of the dover she brought. Six
years ago Count Tnrenne, one on the
attaches of the French Legation.
plighted his troth to beautiful girl IN
Georgetown. The Count met with an
accident In his childhood that has
dwarfed his proportions, and produced
Iameness from which he will never
recover. Notwithstanding these de-
fects. the young lady preferred him to
ali other suitors. The counts father
refused his sanction to marriage
/ without the necessary settlement Delne
made. This the young lady'S fatneI
cannot do, without impoverishing his
large family and, much as they would
like to be allied to the great house Of
Turenne, they are not disposed e
make SO great a sacrifice. The Connl

In the House of II representatives the
discussion of the amnesty bill has been
given up for the consideration of the
Centennial appropriation bill, but wheth-
or no this appropriation-which is said
to be necessary for the success of the eX-
p,sition-will be made remains yet to be
seen. 1t is intimated by Democratic
C,ngressmen that if all the participants
in the late Notwithstanding JEFF.
Davis-are not restored to full citizenship
and given the right to hold Office, they
will defeat the bill appropriating aid to
the centennial exhibition. They MAY
think better of this, however, after they
get over the soreness of their defeat in
the amnesty debate. 1t would be rather
a national disgrace for Congress to refuse
to aid this exposition after all nations
have been invited to take a part in it,
and in view of the approaching presiden-
tial campaign we don't believe the Dem
ocrats-however much they would like
to do do so--will take the responsibility
of defeating the project,

THE secret organization, known as the
"Order of the American Union," have
issued a circular for the purpose of cor.
recting the statements made by the New
York Herald in reference to their aims.
Their aims, the circul2r says, ''are as old
as the Reformation" and are stated as
follows:
l. We accept. the Bible as the basis OF
all moral, religious, governmental, and
educational undertakings.
2. We yield an unhesitating support
to the Constitution and Government of
the United States and of the several
Suites.
3. We urge that the present system of
one general unsectarian free school or
ganization shall be maintained inviolatc.
T. We claim that no part of the public
funds shall ever be used for the support
or maintenance of any sectarian school or
Institution whatever.
5. We are opposed to any interference
in political affairs by any man or body of
men acting in behalf or by direction of
any ecclesiastical body or power; yet we
make no war upon any mans religious
creed.

THE Republican National Committee
which met in Washington City, last
week, decided to hold the Republican
National Convention at Cincinnati on the
18th day of next June. The nominees
of this convention, if worthy men, will
undoubtedly be endorsed by the people.
Judging by the history of the past it is
impossible to even guess who will be the
Republican nominee for President, but
we believe there is nc better man liz the
nation for the position-nor one who
would give more strength to the party
than Charles Francis Adams, of Massa-
chusetts.

SOME progress is being made i'll the
organization of the State Historical So
ciety. A room has been fitted up in the
State House, at Topeka, for keeping the
collections. Already the Society has on
its shelves all the books and pamphlets
that have yet been published pertaining
to Kansas, some of which were written
before our State was an organized terri
tory. The Centennial year, when the
awakening Of historical interest is likely
to lead to the collection of the events of
interest connected with the organization
of each county in the State, will enable
the society to gather much valuable
information. This institution, ifproper-
ly conducted and supported, will be one
of which our people will, in years to
come, justly feel proud. And in this
connection we would again suggest to..the
people of this county the propriety of
having a historical oratiOn-giving a
complete history of the county-delivered
next 4th of July. Every county III the
State should have such Orations, and
have them published and placed on the
shelves of the State Historical Society.

THE leading journals in the State are
speaking out against the absurdity of the
present law requiring the State Treasurer
to bear the responsibilities of bond of
81, 100000 at a salary of only $1,000 a
year. The Legislature shonld, and doubt
less will, increase the salary of this Office.
In reference to this matter the Lawrence
Journal says:
"The wretchedly low salary is, first, a
bonus offered to incapacity, and next a
standing temptation to deceit, trickery
and ultimate embezzlement; and the
sooner the people open their eyes to the
fact that the truest economy lies in pay.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE.

Since our last issue the Senate, after
discussing such matters rs chewing,
smoking and splitting, has gone to work
in earnest. After the Governors message
was read and referred to appropriate
committees the introduction of bills aud
resolutions was commenced, and up till
the Goth inst. eighty-seven bills were
introduced. Among the first bills re-
ported back from the judiciary commit
tee, and their passage recommended, was
one concerning the investment of the
permanent school fund; it prohibits the
investing of that in the bonds Of school
districts. Among the resolutions intro
duced was one from Senator Bartlett
calling for information as to what has
been done under the act of February %,
1866, in regard to selling certain rail-
road lands. On the 18th inst. quite a
lengthy discussion was had over the
appointment of additional committees
for investigating the school fund. SEN
ator Robinson was afraid Mr.. Lappin was
being used as a scape goat, and uttered
some sorrowful lamentations such as
Suppose the Governor was in league
with those who committed the fraud,
and suppose the Commissioners had
fraudulently issued the bonds" Senator
Parkinson was also very anxious about
the matter, he was afraid proper steps
had not been taken to secure the State
from loss. The Senate wisely dismissed
the matter, however, expressing conf
dence in the Governor, the Attorney
General and the committee that had
already been appointed. On the 10Th
inst. the Senate passed the legislation
appropriation bill confirmed number
denominations passed several resolutions
among them a concurrent resolution in
regard to the taxation of the Kansas
Pacific Railroad land, and resolved to
appoint two members of the Senate to
act with three from the House and visit
all the State Institutions.
The latter part of last week the House
finished up the election of officers, and
gave the disappointed candidates an
opportunity of returning homeland this
number was much larger than that of the
successful ones. In the House, as in the
Senate, the appointment of committees
for the investigation of the school fund
was the subject for considerable discu :
sion. Afrer a lengthy debate the House
voted to allow each member twenty
copies of daily paper. An anti-third
term resolution was passed by the House
last Tuesday by vote of rs to u. 4
large number Of bills have been intro
duced in the House, many OF which have
passed to second reading. The PROPOSE
ton of admitting members from Norton
and Ford counties-each of which cast less
than go votes-has called out lengthy
debate. The proposition of voting $685.
