From the Kansas City Times, The colors used as badges of mourning vary in different countries. In this country, as in Europe. the ordinary color for mourning ia black. In China, as with the ancient Spartan and Roman ladies, it is white; in Turkey it is blue or violet; in Egypt. yellow; in Ethiopia, gray. ‘Some have attempted to trace the assoclations which caused the adoption of the v rious colors to natural causes. Thus black, which is the privation of light, is supposed very appropriately to de- note the privation of life: white is an emblem of purity; vellow is the color of leaves when they fall, and significs that death is the end of ail human hopes. In the east, to cut the halr was considered a’ sign of bereavement: among the Romans, on the contrary, it was deemed a mark of sorrow fo let it grow. “Kitchen Cabinet.” From the Kaosas City Star. “Kitchen ' cabinet” was a name sportively glven to Francis P. Blair, Amos Kendall and others by the opponents of President Jackson's ad- ministration. ~ Blair was the editor of the Globe, the organ of the President, and Kendall was one of the principal contributors to the paper. As it was necessary for Jack- on to consult frequently with the wo, in order to avoid observation they were accustomed, when they called upon him, to go In by a back door. The whig party styled them in derision the “kitchen cabinet,” alleging it was upon their recommen- dations that the President removed so many whigs from office and put demo- crats in their places.
