KENTUCKY ELECTIONS.

The vote in Kentucky in 1865 for Presi-
dent was, Seymour 1858 Grant 1856.
Democratic majority 1928.
In 1870 the election was only for Con-
gressmen, there being no general election
for State officers.
The Democratic vote in the State was
80, $50, Republican, 57,247. Democratic
majority 81, 2O3.
The election yesterday was for Governor,
Lieut.. Governor, general State officers and
a Legislature.
Gov. Leslie, the present incumbent, was
the Democratic candidate, and Gen. Jno.
NJ. Harlan the Republican. 1t was not of
course expected that Harlan would be
elected, but we have enough returns al
ready to show decided Republican vic
tory in heavy gains,
Kentucky has her face set in the right
direction. She has seen enough of blind
partisan rule, and will soon be a reliable
Republican State.

4 Story Of Lancaster, Kentucky.

This is a stylish place." said the driver,
as we rode out; there is as much style
put on here as in city. The ladies go up
to Cincinnati, and clme back with all the
fashions. Fashions change here just as
regular as the moon. The young men are
very stylish, too. They go to Cincinnati,
and come back with little canes swinging
in their hands and their hair parted in the
middle. People seem to think they must
follow after Cincinnati in everything but
politics"
"They don't like Cincinnati politics,
then? ?"
"No, no; but they read Cincinnati pa
pers, buy Cincinnati goods, and bet on
Cincinnati railroads, especially on the big
one that they think is coming here"
They are as clever and hospitable a
people," continued the driver, "as ever
was, but the town has bad name TOR
fights. It's one of the sprightliest fight
ing places in Kentucky. They shoot, stab
bite, knock over, kill and drag out. At

men shot in one day. But when not in a
rumpus it's a nice, quiet little place. y

For Our Farmers.

We have received letter from Messrs.
Stitt q Underhill, wooden manufacturers,
No. 1873 Chambers street, New York, under
date of August 5th, which we think of inn
portance to our East Tennessee farmers.
These gentlemen are readers of our East
Tennessee articles, called to see us last
Spring after trip through our country,
and they therefore know of what they
write. They write us as follows:
Since the writer had the pleasure of see
ing you, wool has advanced fully % per
cent, and scarce at that. There seems to
be more fine than coarse and medium in
the market. We are not able to see why
East Tennessee cannot get to work rapidly
in growing wool. We need more long
combing, coarse native, and quarter to
half-blood wool, and there is no enterprise
that will make your country rich faster.
We will (if you wish forward you all the
papers we can get on wool growing; also,
agricultural papers, showing where stock
can be had, and you can most always find
farm sheepin Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York markets. The Wooden Manu-
facturers' Association will take some ac-
ton on this subject on the 18th of this
month The land in Western Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio has become so valuable that
it does not pay them to raise anything like
the amount they used to produce. With
your cheap and medium priced lands, we
look upon it more favorable to the growth
of wool than any other part of the country.
This applies to all the country from Cor
louisville Junction, Va, to Chattanooga.
We would be much pleased to hear from
you, and will do all we can to get the wool
growing started in your section.

Revival at Pleasant Hill.

-MeSsrS. Editors Chronicle The protracted
meeting that began at Pleasant Hill some days
since in the Sixteenth District of Knox county,
has proved decided success andstill continues
with increasing interest. Up to this time some
twenty-five or thirty have confessed faith in
Christ, and we trust that many more will yield
TO the terms of the Gospel.
The meeting was begun by the Rev. Messrs.
Parker and Leeper. We noticed Rev. Mr..
Miller and other important standard bearers
present. Especially is it important to mention
the presence of Rev. Spencer Henry, preacher
in charge of this Circuit who gave us to-day
from Dan. 2, A, As, one of the most profound
and logical discourses we have ever listened to.

when they were all on their knees, gnash-

putting on all imaginable signs of contri-

truly repent of your sins hold UP your
hands," There was not one present who
did not Immediately stretch out his arms.
" Holy Archangel Michael, - then exclaim-

"WoRK MAKES Among tho
many words of wisdom and counsel which
have fallen from the lips of Henry Ward
Beecher to bless and benefit those whose
ears are open to the acceptance of truth,
the following is not of the least signifi-
cance:
II heard man, who had failed in busi-
ness and whose furniture was sold at auc
ticn, say that when the cradle, and the
crib, and the piano went, tears would
come, and he had to leave the house TO be
q man. Now there are thousands of men
who have lost their pianos, but who nave
found better music in the sound et their
children's voices and footsteps going cheer
fully down with them tn labor, than any
harmony of chorded music. Oh! how
blessedis bankruptcy when it saves mans
children see many who are bringing
up their children as [ should bring up
mine If, when they are ten years old,
should lay them on dissecting table ana
cut the slnews of their arms and legs, so
that they could neither walk nor use their
hands, but only sit still and be fed, Thus
rich men put the knife of Incidence and
luxury to their children's energies, and
they grow up fatted, lazy calves, fitted for
nothing at twenty-five but to drink deep
aud sauander wide, and the father must
be- slave all his life in order to make
beasts of his children. How blessed, then,
is the stroke of disaster WHICH sets the
children free, and gives them over to the
hard but kind bosom of poverty, who says
to them, "Work J" and working makes
them men,
