The emigrants who have gone to the State of Kansas. numbering about seven thousand. went there for the avowed pur. pose of going to work. They asked nothing but a chance to go to work. They did not ask for farms. they did not ask for mules nor for servants to wait upon them. they wanted to go to work on farms. to saw wood. to do anything that would enable them to earn the little pittance necessary to keep their families together. They have been distributed over all portions of the State as farm hands wherver they could be employed. and. so far as I have heard. they are industrious and obedient. they are giving satisfaction to their employers. and are contented with their condition. If any considerable number have ever expressed a desire to leave the State and return to those from which they emigrated. it has not come to my knowledge.
