DISAPPOINTMENT.
FOURTH GIFT CONCERT
or Public Library Of Kentucky.
A GARD TO THE PUBLIC.

The Trustees Of the Public Library of Kentucky
aud the management of the Gift Concert, announce
the postponement of the Fourth Gift Concert until
Tuesday, the 3lst of March next.
The public will readily understand the causes
which have made this postponement necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the last two
months paralyzed the business of every section Of
this country and of Europe, has prevented thous.
ands from investing In tickets. The epidemics per.
vading almost the entire South. have cut Off large
and available market. And, too, the public, judg.
ing from the effects of these causes have expected
| postponement and have declined to invest with
out more positive assurance of the drawing tax.
| ing place on fixed day.
All interested desire full drawing; but, for the
reasons just stated this could not be had the Sd
of December, but the short postponement now an.
nounced will secure it.
The management nave met with unprecedented
success. The sales of tickets, the proceeds Of
which have already been received, amount to OVER
MILLION DOLLARS, with a number of agencies in
this country yet to hear from and all those in
Europe.
Thus drawing Scaling the gifts one.halD could
be had now, but the management deem it best to
have postponement and full dra,cing.
This postponcment assures the sale Of all the
tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That iris deter.
minaton will meet it'll the appreciation of nearly
every one interested is made apparent by the very
numerous letters received from every section of
this country and the Canadas asking for a post
ponement.
This action Of the management will work no oct.
rment to any, but will be for the good of all. by il
the fortunate cketholders will receive their gifts
in full, while il will not affect those who do draw
gifts.
In making this announcement the management
emphatcaly state that there shall be no further post
ponement, and to this end all agents will be impera.
lively required to close up and transmit their &C.
counts to this office by the 2lst Of March.

The Minneapolis (Minn.) Tribune says
that dreadful scourge has broken out among
some families ia small German settlement
at Medicine Lake, about ten miles from that
city, and there is much suffering there in
consequence. The disease is said to be NAL
ignant diphtheria. 1t co mmences with a
swollen and sore tonsil, until the throat be-
comes so swollen that it is impossible to
breathe, and the patient dies. The best of
medical aid has been furnished the sufferers.
1t is impossible to discover what gave rise to
the disease.

TIE KENNEBEC ARSENAL.

The Recommendation in the report OF
the Secretary Of War that the Kennebec
Arsenal, the only arsenal in the State be
longing to the United States government,
be sold In order to put the proceeds into
another or other arsenals to be built else
whsre, strikes us as measure Of doubtful
utility to say the least. This arsenal is in
good condition, has ample grounds and
commodious buildings, and its yearly ex-
penss to the government for the force en-
ployed. keeping the buildings in repair,
and doing in ine whatever is necessary
for such an establishment, is less than
5000. If the property were to be sold it
would bring in the market but small
sum. for tho buildings are worthless in
their present shape to any private indi-
vidual. and the improvement and arrange
ment Of the grounds would be of little
value to whoever might purchase. Prac-
tically the government would receive little
or nothing from the sale. The measure
OF economy from such transaction would
be really minus. There is nothing then
to be said on the score of economy in
favor of selling the arsenal except the get
ting rid of the expense of taking care of
II, and this like the other amounts to
nothing when the facts are considered.
The officer 10 command would draw his
pay at some other place just the same as
here. and so probably would the few men
he has. The whole cost of taking care of
the property does not exceed what we
have stated above.
But Is the government prepared to leave
o frontier State entirely without the means
Of defence that an arsenal affords? Is
1t safe policy for the smaller States, and
especially those bordering on another
country TO be deprived of the customary
depots for arms and ammunition, in order
that large supplies may be kept at certain
localities? Maine is not only a border
State. but she is exposed to invasion on
long frontier line on three sides of her
northern territory, and also to hostile at
tacks upon long sea coast The arsenal
at Augusta is situated on railroad which
gives easy and rapid access to all parts of
the State, while at the same time it is at
such distance from the coast as to be
safe from attack by sea. II is therefore
well located. and is necessary for
the profession of the State and of
course other States. We also believe that
1t Is not the best policy to place all our
military resources at few points. We
found out in the war that it was good
thing to have them distributed SO that
enemies to the government could not con.
troll them. II may be somewhat more ex-
pensIve. but the security afforded is fair
equivalent. We do no. speak of this

that the Boston and Maine Is the obstinate

How TO DESTROY RODENTS

How TO DESTROY RODENTS
The following is a successful
method pursued by one of our
farmers to destroy gophers and
squirrels. He has just success
fully poisoned some thousands Of
squirrels that had partly destroy
ed grain field. His plan was as
fellows: First he purchased four
bits worth of strychnlne, which
he dissolved in a tea cup of vine-
gar; this he let stand half a day,
stirring it occasionally; this cup
full of vinegar and strychnine he
then poured into three gallons
of water, into which he added q
pint of brown sugar, which DIES.
troyed the taste of the vinegar
and poison. He then distributed
the preparation about the field,
placing it I'm little earthern or
other vessels as near the color Of
the ground as they can be pro-
cured. During the warm parts Of
the day the rodents went to these
vessels, by hundreds, and never
had time to get to their holes
any more; and so deadly is the
poison, four bits worth of strych-
nine will GUST from three to four
hundred rodents.

Arrived at the "Torreon," an
old circular tower, evidently
constructed for purposes of de-
Tense, we encamped near a small
detachment of boy-soldiers, be-
longing to the "Army of Sonora.
They were armed mainly with
Enfield rifles, few having the
old copper-mounted muskets that
make a great noise, carry an
ounce. ball, and excite the mirth
of the wild Apache. These boy
soldiers are inveterate thieves,
and we had to keep a constant
watch over our camp, which how
ever, did not prevent these
adroit pilferers from stealing du-
ring the night, Ratchet and two
horse-collars. These "boys" are
conscripted among the haciendas
in the more northern districts of
the State, and are in the main
sons of poor laborers. Once in the
army, they are speedily initiated
into any degrees of vice and viii
lainy that they may not have
"taken" at home.
From Torreon our road struck
off over the hills, and after an
all-night drive during which my

out the place where two Ameri-
cans had been killed "by the
