A Kentucky Anecdote.

1t was customary in former days for all the
ladies' of the best families to attend the promi-
nent barbccues: and this was especially the case
in the csntest between Mr.. Breckenridge and
General Combs, in 1910. Out of these affairs
grew Il e authentic story of the incest widow in
the bluegrass region. Not far from the forks
of Elkhorn lived the pretty little widow Faunt-
leroy. and one of her nearest neighbors was
General Peyton. The General had looked upon
the little widow very much as he looked upon
his blooded horse Powhatten-'' The finest
horse, sir, in the blue grass region
The pretty Mrs. Fountleroy had been widow
for more than a year; while the General. hay
ing great regard to etiquette, had waited pa
tiently for that time to elapse in order TO de-
clare himself. But the widow. with her wo-
mans art, kept her lover at bay, and yet kept
him in her train.
He had escorted her to this barbecue. and
when returning had expressed his satisfaction
at the prospects of General Combs, and the
success of the Wing party.
The widow took sides with the Democracy,
and offered to wager her blooded saddle horse,
ullStN. VI clSc Aci paw; HE'"iiot
PowIlattan or anything else she might fancy
on the Generals place.
The Generals gallantry would not allow him
to refuse the wager. which he promptly accept
ed. By this time they had reached the north
fork of Elkhorn. and were about to ford it
bridges were not plenty in those days., when
John Peyton, the Generals only son and heir,
came up at sharp gait behind them.
The widow turned and bowed to John, and
rode on into the stream, but little behind her
companion. The east bank was very steep, and
required the horses to put forth nearly all their
strength to reach the top with their loads.
Asluck would have it. good or ill, the widow $
sirth broke when inst at the commencement of
the steep part. The lady, still seated in her
saddle, slid swiftly back into the water: while
her horse went up the bank like an arrow.
John Peyton leaped from his horse, and in an
instant caught the floating lady and her saddle,
and before the General had recovered from his
astonshment. was at the topsof the bank with
his burtlen The little widow was equal to the
occasion, for she begged the General to ride on
and stop her horse, which had now begun to
understand his part in the mishap, and was be-
ginning to increase his gait toward home.
The Generol did as he was bid, and soon
turned with the horse. In the meantime John
Peyton had secured his own horse. and when
the General came back with the widows horse
she and John were laughing merrily over the
ridiculous accident. but what further passed
between them is only known to themselves.
John Peyton repaired the broken girth, fas-
tened the saddle again on the glorse, and placed
the lady in her seat, bade her good evening,
mounted his horse, and taking another road
down the Elkhorn. rode rapidly home, leaving

does not advance faster To them, l
would say, if 1 had an opportunity,
ewkieh T never have), that lie needs
encouragement and patience, and at a
more nature age Will make fine
scholar.
Mrs. Smith complains, because don't
cram her precocious camel John through
the eye of needle every day. To her,
would say, let US keep him in allegiance,
for his precocious scintillations will
soon die out, and at sixteen, will be a
better candidate for the d1nce-block
than for Valedictory hcnors.
To express an individual opinion as
to what Primary School should be, l
appreGend that the first stumbling-block
we should encounter, would be dollars
and cents. These must, to be successful,
be made secondary considerations; and
the next, lack of interest. These being
removed, our task is quite easy.
In locating a school for the little ones,
l would not build like the foolish man
upon the sand, nor yet like Nasby's
Post Office at the Confederate Cross
Roads; but on the most eligible spot,
possible.
The surroundings. such that while
pleasing to the pupils, Wonld be at the
same time source of satisfaction aud
pride to the patrons.
The prevailing idea among taxpayers
seems to be, that children like sardineS.
can be packed in any kind of box
when at school, while, at the same time,
they seek to make their homes attractive
and pleasant. Trees and shrubbery are
planted and tenderly cared for; proper
ventilation is provided, every appliance
is brought to bear that tends to refine
and elevate.
Yet these pains taking fathers will
| vote at a school meeting, to furnish
their children by six hours Incarceration
per diem, in a room utterly devoid Of
anything to palliate the gloom within,
and forbiddinS surroundings.
To have good schools, let us have
buildings appropriate to the purposes
for which they were designed, with some
| pretence to architectural taste and
| beauty.
Let us have the walls both within and
without of some neutral tint, in lieu OF
the stereotyped white.
Let the appliance and furnishing be
of the most approved kind; combining
comfort and convenience. Charts,
maps, aye. more; wonld approve of
few pictures or engravlngs adorning
the walls.
In fact I would have my texts there,
and Belshazzar-like, make my pupils
read from the walls; and do xith books
as Falstaff did with physic, throw them
to the dogs.
l would have for teachers we'll, l
would have the best l could find. In
fact would have the future schools,
such that its recollections would be
cherished in after life, as among the
brightest memories.
For the valuable anxiliaries-school-
officers, would have 1--we, energetic and
interested men-nOt fossils. Lack OF
interest, would have sufficient cause
for impeachment and removal from
Office.
Finally to the parents with whom the
whole matter lies, would remind them
of their accountability and the duty
they owe all children as well as their
God. referring them to the words OF
our Great Primary Teacher, where lie
says: Suffer little children to come
unto me; for of such is the Kingdom OF
Heaven"

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY AT ST. AU-
GUSTISE.-FrOm a young man who was pre-
sent and witnessed the occurrence, We learn
the following particulars OF a shooting affray
which took place at St. Augustine on Mon
day last, and which it is now feared will re-
suit i'll the death of the victim About three
o'clock i'll the afternoon of the day indicated,
Bernard j. McFeely entered the bar-rOom of
Barnacle's hotel in an intoxicated condition,
and with that bragg ldocio peculiar tOdrunk-
en- men, threatened to rid the room of its in
mates, some half dozen persons. The pro
prietor of the hotel demonstrated with Nc
Feely, but without effect until some one pro-
posed to treat, which was done, and for
brief time order restored. 1t was only
for a brief time, however, for McFeely soon
renewed his threats, and the result was that
Barnacle took hold of him and elected him
from the house. McFeely lost no time in
returning, however, when Barnacle again
elected him, after which he passed behind
the bar, and, taking gun from under the
counter, pointed it at McFeely and told him
that he would shoot him if he came back
Not needing the threat, McFeely once more
entered the room, when Barnacle pulled the
trigger and the ball sped on its course strik-
ing him in the thigh, fracturing the bone and
lodging under the skin i'll the back part of
his leg. The wounded man sank to the floor
and for time all was commotion. Barnacle
himself sent for "A physician, and ere long
Dr Sloan appeared on the scene, and after a
careful examination determined that the un-
fortunate mans life could only be saved, if
saved at all, BY the amputation of the leg
close to his body. This operation was ac-
complished forthwith but our informant says
that McFeely's condition gives but little
promise of favorable result. So far as we
know, Barnacle has not been arrested, nor
do We know what action, if any, the author
tiles propose to take in the matter.
