Ing all who wished to go to KAN

land they squatted uponin Kansas,
thus giving themselves valid
title to the ground. For all this
information, Of course, the poor
negroes had 10 pay; aud they gave
him whatever little money they
had. So shrcwd was the wretch,
and so graphic the picture he pain
ted OF life IN Kansas, that the news
spread ike wildfirc through the
country, and on ull sides he dar-
keys commenced to gather up their
traps preparatory to the long trip
before them. Such property as
they could not take with them
they disposed Of at any price they
could get. Cows were sold at two
dollars a piece, chickens at one
cent q piece, and other things IN
like proportion and at a similar
sacrifice. On Sunday, the fifteenth
Of June, about one thousand ne
grocs assembled at the railroad
station at Durant, prepared, as
well rs thcir slim means and Ill
judgment would best allow, fot
their journey to Kansas. Of course
the FREQ train did not arrive, and
these poor betrayed blacks are now
stranded high aud dry, their homes

they thrown upon the mercy and

Voucotulo Leader.
The Kansas emigrants. who have
been on the landing for six days,
waiting for transportation. sue
ceeded in getting OF on Tuesday
night on the Grand Tower. This
boat appears to be q favoritc with
al the emigranls, as they win wait
aweek for her in preference to Ia
king any other. The batch num-
bered about twenty, and every day
they remained with us, their num-
Der was augmented By fresh re-
cruits. We hear that they are at
several landings, preparing to en-.
bark. Report hes II that At ono
particular landing the number cx-
ceeds one hundred. In this neigh
borhood the fever Is undoubtedly
on tho increase, as they talk about
nothing else. The moro intelIi-
gent portion Of the colored people
say that they are going, and noth-
ing that can be said or done can
now deter them, as they are deter
mined on making the trip. and
that more than i've hundred will
leave Bolivar county within the
next three months. We believe
this, and while 1t may be detri-
mental to the present crol., no one
as yet has objected TO the move
ment, while on the other hand
every good citizen has bid them
God speed. "

A New Theory About Food.

A German physician has started a new
theory with regard to food. He maintains
that both the vegerarians and the meat
eaters are on the wrong track. Vegetables
are not more wholesome than meat. nor
me;lt than vegetables. and nothing is gain
ed by consuming Il compound OF both.
Whatever nutri,ive qualities they may pos

Up north. across the line, an Indian VIII o

murder and sentenced to death. In the

trial. The result would be that unless file
Indian was Il dangerous character. when
Judge Lynch would likely be appealed to.
the criminal would probably be handed
