Amasa Walker; "Onr Monthly Gos sip;" "Literature of the Day." From a very interesting biographical Bketch of "Jim Lane," by Jacob Stringfellow, we make this extract: The late Senator Lane was the most finished actor I ever saw. He was a sporadio French man of the eighteenth century, strangely oat of time; a Bristol rocking-stone; a diamond made in a laboratory. Looking at him in this view, we feel the subdued and deep en thusiam of the offioier du roi who captured a solitary frog on one of the Sandwich Islands, a sort of Selkirk, carriod there, poor fellow! in the spawn by sea waves; for we will add, on that drowned continent of name unknown which we call Oceanica the esteemed family of Batrachians is not aboriginal. I said he was an actor. Every one knows the sequence of the two. Cruikubank knew it when he tilled French Eow in Vanity Fair with slim-legged ballet girls. Lane's faults were Gallic; so were his virtues, of which he had a share. As Siddons always talked in chest tones, and dragged one foot after her, so Lane always trod imaginary boards. The Komans did those things to perfection. When the effect demanded poison or the falling on a sword, it was done without flinching. In the eighteenth century, when everybody in France went distracted over Greece and Home, and the women read nothing but Plu tarch's "Lives," it became fashionable to talk like Brutus and Coriolanua, weep like Xerxes, and embrace like Damon and Pythias. The judgment of Dumouriez was singularly aoute when he said of the Girondists, who gave tone to the revolution, "They are exiled Komans. The republic, as they understood it, is the romance of a woman of mind. They intoxicate themselves with fine words, while the people will get drunk with blood." Imagine a worn cowskin coat surmounted by a fur cap, or an old hair trunk standing upright upon two sticks, with a moulting chicken-cock at roost upon it. Hair trunk loquitur: "They say Jim Lane is illiterate" (looking an exclamation point with every sentence) "that he is ignorant, and not fit for the United States Senate ! Why, men of Kansas, his mother was a Connecticut schoolmanu and a most devout Methodist, and from his youth up he was most carefully educated for the Christian ministry; but his modesty, his insuperable" (long drawn out) "modesty, kept him out of the pulpit ! They say Jim Lane is a libertine ! Why, when he was twenty one years old he had sever smoked a cigar, sworn an oath, or kissed a girl ! But he does love the ladies ! He loves his angel mother" (in a sepulchral tone), "and he loves his angel sister ! lie loves his darling wife; yes, and he loves all the virtuous and loyal women of the land!" Let it not be supposed that his rough audi ence laughed at this display of emotion. Did a Boston audience laugh at Choate's nonsense when he told them how the dark-eyed Mexic maids wailed to the Lent guitar, "Woe is me, Alhama ! for a thousand years?" Does the gallery laugh at "Hamlet's" soliloquy ? The poorest devil that ever contemplated self. slaughter (and who has not ?) has rehearsed its arguments to himself. We all have our moments of nervous exaltation, and feel that our unspoken thoughts are our best. It was this set of nerves wnicn tnat cunning anato mist, Lane, knew how to play upon. He sent a shiver down the backs of his auditors like a charge of electricity down a lightning-rod, and raised the goose-flesh on their skins as though a regiment were marching over their collected graves. . "They say Jim Lane is profane." (The biographical was his chosen style.) "Great God ! What ! Jim Lane an irreligious man? Why, I never swore in my life ! Yes, though" (in tragio bass), "once ! once ! It was at the head of my Indiana regiment in Mexioo, at the battle of Buena Vista. (He knew bettor than this.) "I looked to my Trout, and there were acres and acres of Mexicans" (taking off his coat); "to my rear, and there their cayalry were drawn up, their richly ca parisoned steeds and their murderous spears glistening in the morning sun" (jerking off his cravat); "and to my right and left there were more acres and acres of Mexicans." (Tragio bass again.) "Then, in the excite ment of the moment, and forgetful" (accent on for-) "and forgetful of my religious principles, I exclaimed to my brave Indiana boys" (a shrill tenor), " 'Charge on 'em, God tl n'em! charge on 'em!'" (Tragio bass.) "The only time 1 ever swore in my life !" To some this may appear simply vulgar, but not to those who have heard Macready any, "The handkerchief !" in such a way that the sciatic nerve twitched sympathetically and the hair seemed to stand up on the head; for there is no better test of an electrical atmosphere than these electrical manifesta tions. Every sentence was a lighted trans parency, uttered as if written in Roman capitals. While all the interior evidence justifies our French hypothesis, I cannot learn that this extraordinary man had Gallic blood within four generations, though a collateral branch of the Lanes emigrated to Indiana from the Carolines, where it is stytisn to claim ue aoent from the Huguenots. It was a strong stock, and effloresced in suoh men as Joseph Lane, of Oregon, Henry S. Lane, and Amos Lane, a lawyer of distinction, member of Congress and father of our hero. In Lawrenceburg, Indiana, 1814, bis son, James Henry, was born, according to some biogra phers, though, as we shall show, a mystery always hung over Ms real place or nativity. His mother was of those New England Footes who have enriched the blood of the world in statesmen, jurists, popular preachers, and obscure men of talent everywhere. Of suoh parents James Lane was born, in the Augustan ane of their maturity, in the fulness of the mind's reflective epoch and the firmly-braced body, -r - - i; AmOS 1J&UO was a uiiiu vi ixjiuuiuuuiug powers, and the mother; was notable in her town, and owned the propitiating manner and honey-dropping tongue of her Bon. He aid she was a pious woman: we knew, a fiotUriori, that she was a bright one, whose awn's rich birth-right was true roothcr-wit, I the power of winning hearts, and a restless ambition. Our Conuooticnt schoolmistress, with a ooal of fire in her heart, in some un searchable way endowed bet son with ber magnetism. Hue made him the administrator of her nngratifed yearnings; her secret am bitions had their fulfilment in him, even unto sickness of life. , What this magnetism was may be guessed when men of calm blood like the late George L. Sterns, on leaving him, would say, "What a captivating man Senator Lane is! His tones are as sweet as a woman's." Flushed with triumph or confident of success, he was irresistible, his voice soft and musical and his manner confiding. His presence could be as distinctly felt aa a regiHter, and there was companionship even in his silence. It will astonish some to whom his name was once an imprecation and a terror to know that scholarly men and men of travel would pro nounce him the most pleasing person they ever met, though there was not a common thought between them. If in the plentitude of his power he was surrounded by knaves and vagabonds, it was not only because power is warming and grateful, but the animal spirits of a successful man are themselves a harm. , , How much of his attraction was due to a sincere delight in his humanity it would be hard to sav. for his unconscious power of ad justability to his surroundings was marvel lous. Like that versatile Chelonian, the mud turtle of negro superstition, he contained within his shell the flavor of every creature dear to the palate of man fish, flesh, or fowl. In the midst of . Christians, he had been carefully educated for the Church: among sooffers, religion was but a cloak for hypocrisy. In Kansas he wore the fells of wild beasts: in Bos ton he appeared in black broadcloth and white cravat, and whined through his nose as religiously as the melodeon of a country parsonage. Among New lEnglanders, his motner was a Connecticut scnooimarm; with Southerners, he was a Kentuokian; among Western men, a Hoosier; and thus it was his real origin was as great a mystery as the source of the Nile. Like another French man we wot of, he bowed to the Crescent or the Cross as occasion required, The grim chieftain's flow of politeness was as natural as the breath he drew, and as painless; with everyday people it is a morbid secretion, like the pearl in the oyster. Uut once in tne presence ot an undeclared enemy, and nis impulse to persuasion ana all the little arts of conciliation became an uncontrollable passion. Surveying his sus pected antagonist, whose only sign of dislike was a felonious evasion of tne eye, be tnrew himself, a storm of snow, wind, and rain, against him; and f ven hearts of granite yielded to the elemental war at last. A long ing for approbation would turn him from friends to surmount tremendous natural an tipathies, and curry favor with hearts that mantled and creamed with hatred. "What!" said he, meeting on the roadside a member of a Bourbon county convention packed against him "what! vote against Jim Lane, and come from Indiana!" iu his most wheedling notes and a smile that fairly lifted the subject out of his boots, .hnoncm. The fellow went to the convention next day and log-rolled for .Lane. Header, now smiling as in scorn, ask not, "Who was Jim Lane, of whom such imperti nences are recorded ?" I confess that the famouB rejoinder of Clay to the old hunter, which superannuated Wmgs chuckle over as a triumph of happy repartee, always inspired me with a similar contempt. What Henry Clay was to early Kentuckians was Lane to the pioneers of Kansas, and he represented a society not one whit behind in general intel ligence, i His mother, with a frequent ambition, designed her son for the pulpit; and perhaps the maternal instinct was right. Ho had all the constituents of the showy preacher, with the superadded advantage that in no atom of his could a trace of veneration be found. For the modern purposes of those holy men a railroad banquet or a trades' union meeting he would surely have, made his mark. "James," he would make the good woman say, "the only obstacle between yon ana tne pulpit is your insuperable modesty!" All that he had of good he owed to her. When she died that great marsupial tne woria tooK mm into her pouch and completed his eduoation; and most of tne ill tnat was in Him, 1 do not doubt, was imparted by the foster mother. The pious wish of nia motner was thwarted in a way she little suspected, for the insidious immorality of a certain publication of the American Sunday School Union, whose paU tern boy was rewarded for a life of virtue by a seat in Congress, gave a secular direction to her son's aspirations. Discarding the black coat, he went up into the preparatory depart ment , and by way of preface, to show that some things may he done as well as others, made fifty thousand dollars in one winter, out of pork, with the easy dexterity that Herr mann turns a pudding out of your hat. This was only a preliminary flourish, like the swans and other fabulous animals of the commercial schoolmaster. He proved that a man who is great in one calling may be so in another, and disproved for ever the popular fallacy that a man must graduate from the poor-house to command peouniary success. Because Rufus Hatch carried a peddler's paok, Vanderbilt rowed a huckster's boat and ueimooia was a caoin-boy, it is not absolutely necessary xor a man ot genius to be one of these, any more than roast pig requires a whole house for fuel. Let those who esteem it a misfortune that they were born into a decent living take heart, for, though tne chances are against them, and it : is about as easy for the son of a rich man to make an in dependent fortune as for his father to enter the kingdom of heaven, yet notning is aeniea to well-directed enort; ana coma point to more than one millionaire who never handled a blacking-brush, rowed a boat across the Sound, or peddled newspapers. The virus of the Sunday School book being in mm, he turned from the seductions ot pork to law, politics, and marriage in his twenty-ninth year. His rival before the courts and on the hustings was Judge Pettot, a man of strong rud original genius. In their encounters the popularity of Lane often turned the scale in his favor. Slowly and Burelyhe rose on the wings of popular favor to the Sunday School hero a pinnacle a seat in uongress. uertatn phenomena marked his political history from beginning to end. He was never easy unless safe within the party of tne aaminiHtrautm. juuss men of gem as aeugnt in me Bensanou oi resistance over come which the opposition gives. True as the heliotrope to the sun, Lane turned to the party in power, because be loved petting, lie went to Mexico and fought for the adminis tration to Congress in 1852 and voted for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. It would not be safe to limit the probable achievements of so ounning a man had he remained in Indiana, tie had won the first five hundred dollars of his political capital. and the rest was easy. But here his career reached a crisis. He saw the drift of popular opinion in the Middle States. It was against the slave power. He wan tod a place large enough to turn around in if it became necessary. Kansas was then tne cookpn or tne nation, and to Kansas be went.

We doubt whether the delicate! balance of Cal houn himself could have weighed the Bubtle ties of the Lecompton theory, as promulgated from the White House, against the maze of squatter-sovereignty theses that issued from the bouse of Douglas. Grocery politicians and Btump-speakors hammered away at an abstraction fine enough to have set Duns Sco tus crazy. .
