LITERARY CURIOSITY. - We were shown
yesterday, copy of the Kentucky English
Grammar, printed at Lexington, by Jno. Brad
ford, in 1897. There is no doubt Of its being
one Of the first books, and the first grammar,
printed west of the Allegheny Mountains. At
the time it was published, no grammars were to
DO had 10 the west; and Mr.. Samnel Wilson the
author, who was then a teacher of languages
aud bellies lettres near Paris, Ky, feeling the
great necessity for such a work addressed him
self to the task, and produced this valuable
book. In plan and arrangement, We regard it
equal, If not superior to the grammars now
used in our schools. In style, it is at once
pointed and concise, yet ample. 1t was pa
triotio offering 10 the youth OF that day, be-
ing published by the aathor for his daily use,
and not for gain. Who can estimate the val
ue of that little book, or the much good il has
wrought How precious il was in those days
OF intellect III scarcity aud nesdl For il, the
name OF Samuel Wilson shall 20 down to pos
teriyy, adorned with many blessings.

~ a visit to the Recorders Office almost
any morning, shows a sorry sight indeed. The
number of deluquents are not few, and the
records show no decrease in the commission
Of offences against the Jaw. As we glance
through the newspapers, too, We find them
filed with crimes and casualties. All the tink-
ering and coJJling Of legislators, as has been
remarked by another, fails TO remedy the gi-
gsntic evils in our midst; indeed, they increase,
aud as we witness it we must confess that our
faith is shaken in the coming of that millenial
period 50 ardently looked forward to by world
members.
We are not Of those who believe in the to-
tai deprayity Of man, that all the evils under
which society sutfers-thetr, prohigacy, and
their kindred, flow from mere wilfulness in
vice; there are actuating causes, lying far be
meath superficial observation. Want, illness,
ignorance, and a host Of similar causes, render
many unable TO wage successfully the conflict
OF life and have driven thousands to the com
mission Of offenses against self and society.
How many have those ills Of humanity
poverty, starvation and grief-led to resort to
the wine-cup, to the deirium Of intoxication,
for few brief moments Of forgettuiness, which
in the end but aggravated their troubles!
To the causes which we have mentioned is
much of wrotchedness we see in the world
owing. How can we remedy these eyilsl Is
society to be regenerated by the enactment
Of summary laws for their preventiou2 We
grant that to limited extent, they may be,
and are effective; but is not the greater cure
to be effected by an appeal to mans better ma
ture, and let bis reason work out his redemp-
tionl
In the language Of a popular writer, "f
mans best faculties are suppressed, his lower
life mast come out the stronger" Give the
SHINING and the suffering proper stimulus 10
pursue the way of right, and as consequence
of virtae, by appeal to the affections, TO their
selfrespect, make them feel that they are not
alone, unregarded, that they have an interest
in society, aud you viii touch a chord in their
bo5oms which no other power on earth could
reach. This is the only way in which we can
radically abolish the evils under which soce.
ty labors it is the only way in which we can
successfully carry out our aim of making the
world better.
