. A new centennial history of the State of Kansas [microform] : being a full and complete civil, political, and military history of the state from its earliest settlement to the present time. Natural history; Sciences naturelles. no Ti'TTLf's lIlsrOUY UF £â â : consisting in its nearness to tho geograpliieal centre of the state. It is tlio seat of justice for Cole county, and it stands on tlic south bank of the Missouri river, one hundred and twcntyfive miles from St. Lonis, and nine hundred and ei},dity miles from Wash- ington. Tlio location of . City is very beautiful, as it occupies a coinmandin^,' blnll, from which an extensive '. icw can "be liad of a remarkably pictures(iuo country. The streets are regularly laitl out, and well graded, the draiiuigc of the city being, Bccurcd by its position. The public buildings of City arc numerous and notcwortliy. Tlic state capitol is a particularly line structure, dating from tho year 18^(5, when the reprcsentativea and senators of tho state had just practically broken through the Missouri Compronuse in congress, by procuring an addition to the territory of the state, without guaranties of any kind for the iionextension of slavery into the region, wliith had been specially exempted by tho legislation of 1820-21. 'i'lio court house is a county building, and of course it cannot compare witli the capitol, but it is a very good looking edifice, and is made useful for nu- merous purposes, as is common with such structures. The state penitentiary is located at this point, and tho mode of discipline â which obtains within its walls helps to atone in some degree for the want of .school discipline which was noticeable in tlie earlier history of Missouri. Tlio state armory is an establishment in whieli it is much e(vsicr to tr'.-o pride than in a prison, however â well conducted, and tlie institution is one of the lions to which country cousins are invariably escorted.
