in SEINE particulars, of former exhibitions.
There were, however, several specimens of

KENTUCKY. The Louisville Daily Jeur-
nal publishes particular statement OF the
votes cast in all the counties of Kentucky
at the late election, and exhibits compar-
alive view of the votes given in 1928. From
these items the fact is ascertained beyond
controversy, that in the State, taken entire,
where there was aJackson majority OF near
ly 5000 two years ago, there is now Clay
majority of upwards of 1000. This state
ment is unquestionably authentc-it is de-
rived from sources which may be relied on
and IS given with minuteness that must
have caused much labor and research. The
anomaly of a State which, inthe aggregate,
is strong for Clay, sending majority of
Jackson delegatesto Congress, may be &C
counted for by the operation of the district
system, us is explained by The extract be-
low. After presenting the details and re-
suits of his inquiries, the editor adds these
remarks:
cit will be seen from the above that the
majority for Jackson in 1923, was 1857, and
that the majority for Clay is now 4l4i. 1t
will also be seen, that there is not, in the
whole State, single County, which gave a
majority for M. Adams in 1928. but has
given majority for Clay member now
that sixteen counties, which then gave ma
jorities for Jackson, have now given major
tiles for Clay; and, that one county, in
which there WIS a tie between Adams and
Jackson, has also gone for Clay. The read
er is requested to observe, that eighteen
Jackson membtrs have been elected by mo-
jorities less thn 100. The aggregate of
the majorities il these counties for jackson
in 1923 was 260 now it is 913. Two Jack
s1n members are elected from Jefferson by
an average rnaprity of 30-a county which
in 1928 gave Jackson majority of between
two and three hundred. Eleven ofthe Clay
members are elected by najorites less
| than 100, but sven of these are from coun-
ties, which in 1898 gave jackson majorties,
three from counties that gave Adams major
tiles, and one fom n county in which there
was lie between Adams and Jackson
These statements, which nobody will ven-
ture to contradict, will shew what party has
the best right to congratulate itself upon
the result of the late election.

Personal BEAUTY OF THE ANCIENT
GREEKS. In the representations of the an
cient Greeks, we find the skull most round
ed, the forehead most square, the brow most
sharp, the nose most removed both from the
aqneline and snubbed extremes, the lips
mort wavy, most curling up, most neatly
hemmed, most luxurantly pressing on each
other; the chin most convex, the outline of
the face most oval, most distant alike from
uniform width, and from varied elongation :;
the throat most developed in its forms, and
disengaged in its movements; the chest
most ample, elevated and roomy; the waist
of the senderest span. the extremties most
taper of any race. We find the skin rep
resented as having its transparent white, at
its surface, most marked by the purple me-
anderlng vein, at its eXtrcmilies most blend
ed with the rich crimson of the blood the
lips tinted with the richest coral hue the
long silken hair most neatly implanted, and
most distinctly defined by its auburn or jetty
hue; under eyebrows most arched, most
continent, and most carefully pencilled, and
eyelashes casting underneath the softest
and most vapory shade, we find the eyes
most full. most Respondent with lambert
fire. We find countenance most lofty,
radiant and animated--a gait most elastic
and firm--movements most easy, varied.
and replete both with vigor and grace and
when, from the contemplation of the quail
ties that strike the sense, we pass to those
only cegnizable by the mind we find symp-
toms of that mental aptitude to every Dur-
SUIT OF art and science, the most varied and
most opposite, which, by its transcendancy,
Justified, over other nations, called barbari-
ans, the pre-eminencs universally allowed
TO the Greeks. Still do oven the Greeks
themselves seem not entirely to have filled
the full measure of perfection, which, under
the most favorable circumstances, appears
by nature to have been allotted to the Or
ganiSation Of man. Every nation of antiqui-
ty, even unto the Greeks themselves, pre-
served some records of nation still more

LOUISIANA. The Governor of Louisiana
has convoked an extraordinary session of
the General Assembly, Mt the city of New
Orleans, on the 18th of November, nearly
two months earlier than the law requires.
The supposed objects of this call are, first,
to devise means to prevent an introduction
of vicious and rebellious blacks, concerned
in the late affar at Southampton; and sec
ondlv to elect an United States Senator in
the place of Mr.. Livingston, MS legislative
election would be preferable TO temporary
by the Governor.

The number Of buildings ere cted in this
town the present year will not fall much if
any short Of one hundred. Among these
are fourteen large brick stores, in two
blocks three stories high, the lower story of
hewn granite, besides several wooden ones.
Rents are.stil enormously high, particularly
for stores. In fact, in our principal streets
1t is next to impossible to obtain one at any
price. Next year probably the number of
buildings that will he put up, will be twice
as great as those erected the present sea-
son. Proposals, we learn, have been already
made for 25 brick stores, and it is SAID the
number of brick and wooden stores now
contemplated for next year are more than
thirty.
In addition 10 the above facts furnished
us by a friend, it may be matter of inter-
est to those abroad, to learn that seen years
ago, there was but one roof in this place
that covered more than one brick store, and
that not very extensive. Now we have
several very extensive blocks.

THE FIRST SAw-MILL. The old prac-
tice in making boards was TO split up the
logs with wedges; and Involvement as the
practice was, it was no easy matter to per-
suade the world that the thing could be
done in any better way. Saw-mlls were
first used in Europe in the 18th century !;
but SO lately as 1866, an English ambassa-
dor, having seen saw-mill in France,
thought it a novelty which deserved par
ticular description. 1t is amusing to see
how the aversion 10 labor-saving machinery
has always agitatcd England. The first
sawmill was established bJ Dutchman in
1868; but the public cutlery against the
newfangled machine was SO violent that
the proprietor was forced TO tlecamp with
more expedition than ever did Dutchman
before. The evil was thus kept out of
England for several years, or rather gener-
atoms; but in 1868, an unlucky timber mer-
chant, hoping that after so long time the
public would he less watchful of its own in
terests, made rash attempt to construct
another mill. The guardians of the public
welfare, however, were on the alert, and
conscientious mob at once collected and
pulled the mill to pieces. Such patriotic
spirit could not always last, and now, though
we have 10 where seen the fact distinctly
stated, there is reason TO believe that saw
mills are used in England.
