Kansas “Bleeding” Again- 81. Louis Republican. ■•Thu Kansas Freodmen’u Relief As sociation” is again at the front with its ohrooio contribution box. This is the latest “appeal “The people of the nation ought to leave to Kansas the honor and the bur den of doing this great work alone in the future. If possible, the tide of im migrants should be partly turned aaide. But if that be impossible, the money ibouM not be withheld. Our citizens are ready as ever to do their part, but we desire the co-operation of all. All turns and supplies should be sent to Gov John P. St. John, or our Secretary, C. E. Wheeler, Topeka, Kansas. All sup plies sent should be marked so the Sec retary can tell who Bends them and where they come from, so their receipt can be promptly acknowledged.” _ Now “consistency is a jewel” in all cases, But especially so where charity is concerned. Only a week or two ago it was announced, on the authority of Governor St. John, “General” Conway and others, that all the colored emi grants to Kansas were doing well and were self-supporting. Such being the fact, it is difficult to understand why there is not room for a few, or many, more of the Bnme sort Kansas is a large State nnd a new State, and if fu ture installments of the exodus cannot go there without “sums and supplies” from the outside public, where can they go? One point soems plain: Either the emigrants already ariived are a tax on the community, or it is feared the new arrivals will be. Else, why should “the tide of immigrants be partly turn- | ed aside?” Can there be too much of a thing?—paiticularly when the good thing is “fleeing from the bouse of j bondage." . We think yve can assure the aBSooia tion that', taken as a whole, “the people of the nation" are not only willing, but anxious, “to leave to Kansas the honor >od the burden of doing this great work uone in the future,” as in the past. Moaas was mainly instrumental in get- hog up the exodus, and it is only just ■hat she should be permitted to enjoy, as nearly as possible, the exclusive ben- tnts thereof. At any rate, os long as the negores want to come there, Kansas OODB ’ 9te ntly shut the doors which were at first thrown wide open, ( . ot can she consistently ask for aid from hose who are not directly concerned [ ‘o other words, Kansas, having invited . 1 “ anc *. should not break up the ball | « refuse to pay the fiddler.

LHtU Bock, Ark., Gasetts. Several mornings ago a boy about fifteen yeare old, a nephew of Mr. Har rison, an inmate of his family, went out to the barn to feed the horses. When he entered the loft he discovered two large cats lyiDg or; the straw asleep. Boy like, he took up a bundle of fodder and, creeping up, struck both of them at one blow. There was something of disappointment in the result. The oats, instead of running away, sprang at the boy with a fury that startled him. Having nothing with which to defend himself, he tumbled around, while the oats squalled, clawed and bit him unmercifully. His cries did not bring assistance, and tne boy sprang to wards the ladder leaning against the rafters and ascended to the roof of the house.' The oats followed him and, de spite his efforts to keep them away, bit and clawed him frightfully. Realizing hie folly, he jumped down on the hay. Tho cats followed him. By this time he was bleeding very freely and his coat was torn into threads. Seizing one of the cats by the hiud lege, he attempted to beat it to death against the wall, but the animal doubled around and began tearing hto arm. Shaking it off, he ran to the ladder leading down. The ani mals followed him. Just as he reached the ladder, he discovered a monkey- wrench lying on the floor. Seizing it, he turned, dealt the foremost cat a blow between the eyes, and, before it could recover, mashed its head. The other animal still fought with fury. With a heavy blow the boy stretobed out the remaining cat and beat out its brains. Catching them bjr the tails, he marched to the house to give an account of hie battle. Hampton in Greenville. Special to Newt and Courier. Greenville, S. O., October 30.—Sen ator Hampton arrived in Greenville to-day ea route for the fair at Abbe ville, where he will address the people to-morrow. The Liberator of the State was ten dered a grand welcome to-night by a large ton course of citizens, and respond ed from the balcony of the Mansion House, with a speech characteristic of the mao of 1876, counselling the people to be prudent and control themselves in the great campaign before us, and ad vising them to fight on the old platform of the State Democracy. He expressed his honest opinion that a Democratic President will be elected next year. The Butler and Greenville Guards turned out, and the Greenvilje Cornet Band rendered excellent music. hndihB t 101 wtl,oh f°r 1 1527 u J? e 1869, amounted w I »k.,“™i have fallen off to $126,862, hod w!!

As Christmas day comes this year upon Thursday, tho following quotation trom an ancient MSS. in the British Museum is pertinent for publication at the outset of winter as a prophecy of coming events the approaohing year: If Xmas day on Thursday be, A windy winter ye shall see; Windy weather in each week, And hard tempeste, strong and thick. The summer ahell be good and dry, Com and beaets shall multiply; That year is good lor lands to till; Kings and Prmoes shall die by skill; If a ohild born that day shall be, It ehall happen right well tor he; Of deeds he shall bt good and stable, Wise of speeon and reasonable. Whoso that day goes thieving about, Ho shall no punished without doubt; And if sloknees that day betide, It ehall quickly from thee Wide. Jurors in Justices’ Courts.
