We learn that free born colored man of this city,
named Henry Price, narrowly escaped being sold into
slavery in the State of Missouri short time ago. One
of the and gentle laws in the State is founded upon
the hypothesis that every coored man is supposed to be
slave unless he prove that he free AS the South
ern Presbyterian Review expresses it. He is believed to
have right to the status in which he is born and the
presumption OF law Is, that it is status of slavery The
slave holders always talk earnedly and warmly in favor
of good feeling between the free and slave States and laws
that shall foster sentiment of good neghborhood This
law relative to free coored people, of that it
is intended to Indicate kindly feeling toward white
who believe it great crime in another to be Guilty of
skin not colored like their own


1t seems that Price being in ST. Louis steward on one
of boats, sent of errand into the city,
caught by thief, put in Jail a fugitive and laid in
prison more than week, and finally obliged to pay
Sl4 fees before he set at liberty Had he been
able to prove his conton-that of free man-he would
have been sold into slavery to pay the charges OF his
keeping.

Q utfat and Ways Of Kansas Judge.


Persons at distance may not generally
know what kind of an outfit is required for
Kansas Judge; and we cannot enlighten
them better than by mentioning that of Judge
Petit, our new Judge, taken down by an
informant, upon the Judges late visit to
Hiawatha.


Himself and suite arrived in town on
Sunday evening. His suite or body guard.
consisted of clerk, who rode In the bug
gv with him, and several Democratic law
Yers following after. Arriving in town,
they were at loss to find the hotel, and the
Judge sent his clerk out to hunt one. That
worthy started out, with a revolver in his
hand. which be carried in plain sight wher-
ever he went no donbt looking every mo-
ment to be set upon by some rufian Aboli-
tionist. Finding the hotel. they put up,
and occupied all their spare time In discuss
ing politics, and deyising plans to give the
Democratic party control of the Territory
once mora. One of the lawyers got drunk,
and spewed at a terrible rate. On the fol-
lowing day, our informant made an excuse
to go into the Judges private room. where
he glanced around, and found it to contain
the following legal documents One keg of
brandy, four reVolvers, four bowie knives,
three TASKS of brandy, and quantity of
cigars and tobaccol When the Judge star
ted away, he took all these articles with him
in his buggy, When the landlord harness
ed the horse to the buggy, the animal took
baking fit, and the man undertook to drive
him around awhile to get him in travelling
condition. The Judge seeing this, COM
menced cursing the landlord. pouring fourth
the oaths as if he were doing it by note, ra-
wing loud enough to be heard over the whole
town, and giving vent to blasphemies horri-
bic enough to make the hair stand on the
head of heathenl


Such is a fair specimen of Federal Office
holders in Kansas Can any decent man
blame the people of Kansas for arraying
themselves against them ? To think of a
Territorial judge going about with his bug
gy loaded down with brandy, revolvers and
brwie- knives, and raving and cursing be-
cause man undertakes to do him favor;
his clerk carrying revolver through the
street, on Sunday, to hunt hotel; and one
of his particular friends getting beastly
drunk, and puking all over town!-White

"Like most great inventions, the attachment
is Of great simplicity. An upright shaft is
connected with the machine by cog wheel
and pinion, and supported below by suitable
Franc work. Two projecting arms arc attached
to the shaft, to one of which a large cat is con-
nected by light harness, and from the other a
living mouse is suspended by the tail within a
few inches of the nose Of the motor. AS the
cat springs toward the mouse, the latter is re-
moved, and keeping constantly at the original
distance, the machine revolves with great ra-
pidity. The prodigious velocity produced by
the rapacity of the cat in its futile endeavors
to overtake the mouse, can only be imagined
by ono who has seen the attachment in full
operation. .-a


at is thus that man shows his supremacy
over the brute creation, by making even their
