RLUNDERING LAWYERS.

The following item from the st. LOUIS
Fiaes is rather uncomplimentary to GER
tain lawyers of ST. Louis county:
1t is rather a sad record for those industri-
Gus attorneys in ST. Louis county, who have
brought over five hundred suits on delinquent
laws, that the whole batch of petitions was
on Thursday dismissed as being insufficient
In recital under the statute. This wss done
I'm the Circuit Court OF ST. Louis county, in
session at Mount Olive. II is even more un-
fortunate for other parties, the printers OF the
county paper in which the nonresident de-
linquent notices were published, as the de-
cisIou has the effect of invalidating the
claims for publication. such bills being taxed
with the costs and not paid by the State, as
under the old law. 1.-THE petition is sinsuffici-
ent, the notice is necessarily so. There are
other county papers deeply interested in this
matter, and IL will be heavy blow 10 some
of them if the labor they have expended en-
these notices is to go unpaid for.

LEAvEwoRTH, June "a.

Editor TINES The sketch of Charles
C. Burleigh, from the Graphic, which ap-
peared in the Sunday TINES, gave but lit
tie idea of the man, who was really the
most striking in personal appearance of
any of the noted agitators OF the anti-sla-
very cause. 1t was some six or seven years
before the war, that listened to enc Of his
remarkable efforts. Mr.. Burleigh was a
man of medium height, slight even to at
tenuation. Sometime before, he had vowed
to be neither haven nor shorn, while one
slave remained lin bonds to disgrace his
country. At this time, his hair, chestnut
brown, parting in the middle, hung in
heavy curls down to the waist, his beard,
of equal length, not uukept, but sufficient
ly neglected 10 prevent any idea of fop-
pisSness entering the miId-his forehead
was high but marrow at the temples, which
with the parting of the hair gave a woman
ish look to the head, which was relieved by
the thick nustach and beard which fell in
tawny waves over his breast. His eyes
were deep seated, a mild blue when at rest,
but looking out from their cayernous
depths with fierce withering scorn as he
poured his denupciations against the sin of
his people. His voice was deep and thrill

1t Is stated by an exchange-and We can

going statement. The NsUs is correct when

Mr. S. c. Pomeroy-familiarly known as
Old Subsidy-announces himself candi-
date for the Senate in Kansas, the success
sor of Mr.. Ingalls,. He thinks the old score
against him, growing out of the charge of
bribery, is entirely forgotten, and that he
can once more come TO the front as a states
man in whom there is no guile. But il lie
will investigate the matter little, we think
he will discover widespread impression
that Kansas and the country have had
enough OF him and Of men like him. We
know OF no good reason why Mr.. Ingalls,
should not be reelected. Kansas has never
been more creditably represented in the
Senate than by Mr.. Ingalls,.

He has every needed recommendation for

kansas Spirit, I9.l

Clover in the Western States Is coming
into almost universal use and is now con-
sidered as an indispensable adjunct OF good
farming. One great reason why this pro-
duct has been SO slow in taking the first
rank in pasture and meadow as forage
crop has been, the high price at which the
seed was held and the consequent difficulty
in obtaining it in sufficient quantities TO
stock the farm. The seed is so easy TO raise
that the farmer should be no longer depen-
dent on four or FIVE Eastern States Tor his
gu, ply. He cannot afford tesend abroad
for 1t and pay the enormous price at which
it has been held. He must raise lis own
seed. This he can do cheaper than he can
buy it, even if he has to resort to the hand
scythe and the old-fashioned fail to pro-
cure it. We hope our farmers will look to
this matter of saving seed this current
season. 1t is poor policy to send ou, of
the State thousands of dollars for an article
of seed which our broad fertile acres can
produce at much less cost.
