9 And now comes Greenback paper, charg-
ing that Elder Mitchell tried to sell out the
Greenback party in the Legislature, to purchase
. position for himself. We told them, all along,
that he was an old shyster and fraud. He is 8
cattle spccalator, and if he can't make the same
use Of the Greenback party that he can of cat
tie, he will drop it. But as the Greenbaek party
has shown willingness to ally itself with any
party that will divide the plnnder with it, it is
not strange that Mitchell shouid try to make
tho best speculation he could out of it.

Gen. James G. Blunt has become insane, and is
confined to an asylum, in Washington. From
obscurity, at the outbreak of the rebellion, he
became one of the most dashiug and successful
Generals in the South West. Since the war, he
has spent most of his time in Washington, lob
bying claims; and he has several times been in
difficulties growing out of his transactions. Gen.
Blunt came to Kansas from Darke County, Ohio,
at an early day.

favctably, it will result in great saving to the
people Of every State. I; will remove from the
United States Courts, and transfer to the Dis

that properly belong to the latter. For instance,
the mortgages ON Kansas lands t. Eastern mon
ey-lendcrs are now almost wholly foreclosed in
the United States Courts, and the lands sold by
the United States Marshal. A person caught
mp on one of these mortgages, or similar casss,
cannot employ lawyer to 60 before the United

if it were in the District Court for the County

n The Leavenworth Press endorses what We
said about J. F. Legates talents, but thinks that
he has betrayed his constituents, and ruined
himself, by opposing the Investigation business.
We think that he thus justified what We said in
his favor. His constituents sent him to the
Legislature to vote against Ingalls, and to assist
in useful legislation. He did all in his power
to defeat ingalls,; but having faiied, he does not
wish to consume the balance Of the session, be-
sides bringing ridcule and disgrace upon the
State, by investigating charges made by unscru-
pulous scribblers and black-mailers, and which
will result in nothing. Less than two weeks of
the session remain, and nothing has yet been
done in the way of legislation. Perhaps Mr..
Legate imagnes that it will not be a betrayal
of the interests of his constituents, to do some
thing for the general good.

The Rich California Ranker

When il became known that one of the
richest California bankers had left the Pa
ciic Coast and transferred his base of ope-
rations to the New York Stock Exchange,
all the shrewd linanciers watched his scourse
with keen interest to see how he would sue
coed. The result has emphatically proved
the wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides
having much wider and more promising
field to operate in, he is known to have
been in several stock combinations that paid
immense profits. BY the combination meth
cd of operating in stocks Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., Bankers, New York. unite orders of
thousands of customers, in different sums
into one vast capital, and operate them as
a mighty whole, dividing profits pro rata
among the shareholders every thirty days.
Capital in any amount, from $40 to $lO,6 900
can be used with great success in these
pools. $25 would pay 500 profit. $500
would make $5, 900 or 10 per cent. on the
stock during the month. Messrs. Law
renee & Co.'S new circular (maled free)
gives " two unerring rules for success" and
full particulars, so tnat any one can ope-
rate in stocks, and make money. Stocks
and bonds wanted. Government bonds
supplied. Apply to Lawrence & Co, Bank

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, at Saratoga, writes as
follows:
The most genial people one meets at
Saratoga are the clergymen who come
here for recreation. They have many
amusing anecdotes, which they enjoy
getting off at their own expense or that
of their colleagues. Among the dis
tinguished divines who are now here are
Bishop Whipple of Minneapolis, Rev.
DR.. Cuyler of New York, Drs. Schenck,
Potter and Charles Robinson.
On the piazza at the United States a
merry group was seen the other day. The
laughter was louder than usually breaks
upon the stiff conventional propriety
which reigns among the fashionable
cliques who c0ntemptuously survey one
another 1t was group of clergymen,
and one was telling racy story which
he had just heard. The Archbishop of
Canterbury had dread of paralysis, and
made it subject of prayer that he might
escape the calamity.
A grand concert was given in London,
and distinguished Duke and Duchess
invited the Archbishop to accompany
them and take scat in their private
box. The Archbishop occupied seat
between the Duke and Duchess. Before
the evening was over the Duchess mani
tested great uneasiness. She not only
tidgeted, but she made grimaces. She
would bound from her seat, and her man
ner was distrait.
The Duke gave her reproving glances,
and by his manner let her understand
that her behavior bordered on the indec-
orous. The attention of the husband and
wife was now directed to the Archbishop
who meekly folded his hands upon his
breast and said at has comel at last it
has comel O. Lord, give me patience to
bear itn' "Bear what, Your Lordship?"
inquired the Duke. Paralysis" said the
Archbishop; 81 have feared it and prayed
against it. "But," said the Duke,
"don't you think you are mistaken?
see nothing unusual in your looks" 81
can not be mistaken" said the Archbish-
op, "for | have been pinching my leg
vigorously all the evening, and have no
sensation in it," "Oh," cried the Ouch
ess, ''it is my leg that you have been
pinching, and | did not know what to
make OF it." The telling of this absurd
story created such merriment among the
rey2rend5 that for the time they forgot
all OF the ailments which had necessitated
visit to Saratoga.

lSOS well.

James Boswell possessed in perfection
the minute observation of persons,
places, dress and character which most
clever women possess 1t is thanks to
his exercise Of this faculty, that johnson
is now known to us as no other man who
has ever lived is known. Johnson's coat,
wig, shoe-buckles; his manner of speak
ing and of entertaining his guests in
Cough Square or Bolt Court; his whims,
his tempers, his weaknesses, are all word
photographed by Boswell for us.
There was, too, a rare diplomatic talent
in Boswell-for the possession of which
he has hitherto, so far as we have been
able to perceive, obtained but small cred
it at the hands either of his critics or of
the public. Moreover, to represent Bos-
well, as is so frequently done, as being
blindly idolatrous of Johnson, is to 90 lu-
dicrousl y wide of the mark.
So far from Boswell having believed
johnson to be almost infalIible, he was
particularly well acquainted with the
weak points in Johnson's character and
intellect. We venture to assert, indeed,
that in many and various ways Boswell
was vastly Johnson's superior; and in
this connection it is certainly notewor-
thy that whenever johnson and Boswell
differed in opinion, time has shown that
Boswell was nearly always right and
johnson wrong.
Boswell's feeling toward johnson was
very like that which many clever
woman entertains toward her husband.
i. e., she is by no means blind to his faults
or unaware of his weak points; whon
she differs from him in opinion, her judg-
ment is often sounder than his; she
is intensely proud of any distinction
which in the eye of the world he enjoys,
and she delights to be associated with
him in it; finally, she--to an extent to
which he is himself often quite uncon-
scious--hatters him and manages" him,
while all the while she loves him from
the bottom of her heart.
