Tribune tells the following story: zone
Of the newly elected members from Mar
shall county was recently a passenger
over the Central Branch railroad, and on
this occasion the train was frequently de-
tanned few minutes by cattle appearing
on the track. A drove was lazily crossing
the road, and the engineer instantly
whistled sdown brakes The train was
quickly in motion again, and everything
went smoothly for perhaps half OF three
charters of an hour, till another drove ap-
preached the track and claimed the right
Of way, which was given them by the en-
GINGER. who kept up lively blowing
The member from Marshall was all the
time listening, and in his usual dry way
said: .Well, I'll be cdssed if we haven't
sanght up with those cattle agaiu!"

INcoMpREHENs1BLE.- are three
things supremely incomprehensible: Time,
distance, and velocity. Of time we arc al
ways its possessors but never possess it.
The past is gone, the present is going, the
future has not como to US. AS for dis
tance, we may indeed gaze into its realms,
but who can measure its profoundly but
Him whom the "heavens cannot contain?"
Science makes the brain reel as it sends
down its sounding lines, but what they
bring up is but sand grains from the faith
omless caves and vaster immensities OF
eternity's ocean. And of velocity, We
pause utterly confounded at the idea Of
light moving twelve millions of miles in
a minute, and sweeping down to us from
stars so remote that it takes $4,000 years
to accomplish the journey.

KENTUcKY's New SENATOR. John w.
Stevenson, who has just been elected to
the Kentucky Legislature to succeed HoE.
Thomas G. McCreery in the United States
Senate, for the term commencing March
4th, 1871, is the SON of Andrew Stevenson,
a we'll known statesman of Virginia, and
Speaker of the House of Representatives
from 1928 to 1888. John ". Stevenson
was born in Richmond, Va, and having
graduated at the University of Virginia,
read law, and in 1841 commenced the
practice of his profession at Covington,
Ky. From ls45 to ls47, he was meff-
ber of the Kentucky Legislature, and in
ls45 was elected to the Constitutional
Convention of fKentucky. He was dele

Civil and Criminal Code of Kentucky
He was elected Representative to the
Thirty-ffth and Thirty-sixth Congresses,
serving from 1857 to 1861. In 1865, he
was a delegate to the "National Union
Convention" held in Philadelphia, and in
August, 1867, was elected LieutenantGov-
ernor of Kentucky, but succeeded to the
acting Governorship, by the death of Gov
ernor John NJ. Helm, one week after his
Inauguration. In 1868, he was elected
Governor for the unexpired term of three
years.

Ginning with our own We lay it before

vouch for it's entire truthtulness:
Support home mechanics-home mills

and persons, as near as possible, in order
to do your part in supporting and building
up your everyday neighbor, place, county
and State. Also patronize those who
patronize your smechanics-who do not
fail through your papers to keep their
business before the people. 1t shows bust.
ness-it shows liberal spirit-it means
to live and let live. When you find the
latter kind of business men you find men
who will trade literally with you-looking
to both sides OF the trade, instead of one
Try it, friends, and see if we are not in
the main right.

TIGHT T1MEs.-We have known this
fellow, Times, for two and forty years,
and during that entire period he has been
tight. He is always tight. A man named
Baldwin seems to have met him once in
Alabama when he was flush; but as rule,
especially in Virginia, he is invariably
tight. During the war, he was on tre-
mendous "bust," and now he is almost as
tight as he was then. Sometimes ho is
called Hard Times for short. He is a
well-meaning fellow, and at intervals docs
his best 10 reform. But it is no use-he
will get tight again. He has been get
ting worse for the last month or so, and
is if possible tighter than ever. Indeed,
he is very tig ght He is as tight as a
drum-tight as tick-tight as bricks
tight as the Emperor Titus when he took
Jerusalem. He is really tight. People
abuse the poor creature, but what good
does that do? He is on a bender-on a
tear-on high old drunk. He is got
the horrors-the delirium trianglos-he
sees snakes. The fact is, Times is in a
bad way he can't stand this much long
or; he'll go up; it'll be the last of him
and we feel very sorry for him. Poor old
Times ! He is powerful tight-Natiue
Virginian.

Coop L1srENERs.-Good listeners are
scarce, almost as scarce as good takers
A good listener is no egotist, has but a
moderate opinion of himself, is possessed
of great desire for information on all
kinds of subjects, and of hundred other
fine qualities. 1t is too much the general
impression that listening is merely neg.
ative proceeding, but such is very far from
being really the case A perfectly inert
person is not good listener, any more
than bolster is. You require the recip-
lent of your talk to manifest intelligence,
to show interest, and what is more, to feel
it. The fact is, that to listen well-as to
do anything else WELLS not easy. 1t is
not easy even to listen we'll as we observe
notably in the conduct of bad actors and
stage amateurs, who break down in this
particular perhaps more often and more
completely than in any other; you will
see one of them listening-or rather not
listening-to the most thrilling statements
without being in the slightest degree affec-
ted by what he hears, thinking all the time
of his own speech which is coming pres
emily, or perhaps his silk stockings and
trunk-hose, but not of the murder of his
wife and family of children, which is just
being announced to him by fortunate sur
vivor among the last. 1t is difficult, then,
even to appear to listen, whether on the
stage or off it, and an experienced talker
will almost always know whether the per-
son whom he is addressing is attending or
not by the expression of his countenance.
When a man stares wildly at you while
you talk you may generally have your
doubts whether he really understands what
you are saying to him and when he re-
peats the last words of your sentence after
you, in soft tone of voice, you may be
quite sure that be does not.

Recipe for Editing a Newspaper.

1t is expected of an editor TO write read
lily and Auently upon all subjects. That
is his trade. Fbe public pays him to
think and to discuss everything that con-
Germs the interest of tho people. A great
many editors know hon to write with
grace and facility; but many are deficient
in knowing a0hat to write about, and
herein lies the difference between sue
eessful editor and failure. But notwith-
standing an editor may possess great YER
satility Of talent and know hour to write
and what to write about, he is sometimes
puzzled as to the proper mode of treating
his subject. In writing an obituary an
editor knows that he must always say,
"After life's ftful fever he sleeps WE'LL"
or that he is gone to
"That bourne whence no traveller returns"
If he was gay, jovial soul, he must say
"Alas, poor Yorick'
If the subject should be the "late election
our defoat," of course the editor must
either commence or close his article with
s.Truth crushed to earth will rise again."
and threaten the victors who triumphed
by "fraud," deception" and 'intimida-
tion' with the scorn of an insultcd people.
If the editor wishes to describe beant-
full day after storm, or peace after strife,
he knows where TO find the often bor-
rowed lines:
''Now is the winter of our discomfort
Made glorious summer"
The political sap rises in an editor when
the buds begin to SWELL the flowers to
bloom, and the birds to sing, just as nat
turally as the sap rises in gympson weeds
and dog-fennel, and whenever cold day
makes its appearance the world is sure to
be told that
"Winter, lingering, chills the lap of May"
Of any ball, meeting or merry-making,
it is hopeless to expect to read they en-
joyed themselves, or danced, or stayed
late-oh, no ! straightforward language
simple English-would never do. There
was sure to have been
"The feast of reason, and the flow of soul"-
they
'Tripped the light fantastic toe,'
and stayed until
"The wee sma' hours ayant the twal.''
Of any festival, no matter what disa.
greeable incidents occurred, or how poor
ly it was attended, we read that
'.All went merry as a marriage BELL"
and that the people were crowded
ssThick as leaves in Vallambrosa"
An editor desiring to convey to his read
ers an idea of another's transparent af.
fectations, gives him no trouble, but
quotes the favorite distich:
s'Oh, wad some power the giftie gle US,
To see oursels as ithers see u.s.
If perhaps with himself in view, lie Ia
ments over obscure, unfostcred genius he
tells US, freshly, as if he never before
heard it
'.Full many flower is born to blush unseen"
When he describes eloquent writing,
or alludes to love-letters, or even Valen-
tines, he must bring in those old friends
of our youthful days
Thoughts that breathe and words than burn" !"
-Memphis appeal.
