Another migration of extreme interest to all English-speaking people is that of the Huguenots from Prance caused by the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685. Marmontel says of Louis XIV. that he was always governed, but it is certainly not to Madame de Maintenon's credit that she, the granddaughter, of one of the stauneb-est Protestants of his age, should have been the agent which induced the grand monarch to take a step alike ruinous to his industrial interests and to his fame as a tolerant," impartial ruler.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune has just visited the negro colony at Nicodemus and gives the following items concerning it: It is the capital or head centre of a negro colony in Graham county, and is located about thirty-five miles northeast of Wa-Keeney, and about the same distance from Ellis.

The colony, or settlement, consists of about 125 families, comprising a population of about 700 souls, scattered over an City, Kansas. There were four dead among a company of 235.

Those who could do no better went to work digging up the ground with a spade and grub-hoe, determined to make a crop in some way; and some families (the women turning in and helping) got two or three acres in crop by this slow and laborious process. At the present time, the amount of land under cultivation to each family will average about six or seven acres, ranging from twenty acres as the highest to one or two. The solicitation for aid has been continued to some extent until recently. But, two weeks since, a public meeting was called, and; after full consideration of the subject, is was voted to disband the colony organization.

A series of resolutions was passed, thanking the people of the State for the aid that had been so freely given, and stating that from this time no further aid would be solicited, as it was believed that, with proper effort and industry, THE COMMUNITY COULD BE SELF-SUPPORTING. There were several reasons which induced the taking of this course. One was, that it was found that some few families of colored refugees from Mississippi.

Applications may be made to either of the pose. It is possible, though at present it seems rather a remote contingency, that the negroes, who it is claimed have made the fortune of twelve southern States, settling in Kansas may add as much to its development and future greatness as the Kalmucks to the advancement of China, the Huguenots to the growth of England, or the Moors to the civilization of Spain.

Another was the fear that, with the continued reception of aid, they would receive large numbers of the more destitute recent immigrants, who would be sent to them.
