Health and Talent.

1t is no exaggeration to say that
health is o large ingredient in what
the world calls talent. A man
without it may be a giant in intel
lect, but his deeds will be the deeds
of dwarf. On the contrary, let
him have a quick circulation, a
good digestion, the bulk, thcws and
shows of man, and the alacrity,
the unthinking confidence inspired
by these, and, though having but q
thimbleful of brains, he will either
blunder upon success or set failure
at defiance. 1t is true, especially
in this country, that the number of
centaurs in every community-of
men in whom heroic intellects arc
allied with bodily constitutions as
tough as those of horses-is small ;
that, in general, a man has reason
to think himself well off in the lot
terry of life, if he draws the lot of a
healthy stomach without mind,
or the prize of fine intellect with
a crazy stomach. But Of the two a
weak mind in a Horculean frame is
better than giant mind in a crazy
constitution. A pound of energy,
with an ounce of talent, will achieve
6. eater results than a pound OF tai
emit with an ounce of energy. The
first requisite TO success in life is to
be good animal. In any Of the
learned professions, a vigorous con
stitution is equal to at least fifty
per cent. moro brain. Wit, Judge
ment, Imagination, cloquence, all
the qualities of the mind, attain
thereby q force and splendor to
which they could never approach
without it, But intellect in weak
body is " like gold in a spent swim
mcr's pocket" A mechanic may
have tools of the sharpest edge and
highest polish ; but what are these
without vigorous arm and hand ?
OF what use is it that your mind
has become q vast granary Of
knowledge, you have notstrengtb
TO turn the key =?

"Reminiscences Of Old Kentucky Times

Tho skill Of old Kentuky hunters
Ia n matter Of history, aud the
pithy sayings Of these men have
passed. into proverbs. Tho shot
gan was unknown In frontier life,
or, IT known, looked upon with
contempt. Tho bear, the deer, and
the wild turkey were tho gamo tho
old hunters went in quest of but,
when they could not be found, tho
rifle was sighted at tho squirrel,
and the ball sent whizzing through
the head. TO hit the squirrel in
any other place than tho head was
the sign of q poor marksman, and n
poor marksman was held at great
discount by the hardy pioneers.
But times have greatly changed,
The old hunters arc fast being
gathered in tho fold Of death, and n
new race of shooters have come
upon tho carpet. Tho larger game
have disappeared before tho ad-
vanced tide of civilization, 80 that
rife is sof very little practical
value now. Birds, which cleave
the air on rapid wing, are the
things that excite tho enthusiasm
of tho sportsman, and in order to
cut them down in sp0rtsmanlilIe
way the shotgun is called into re-
QUESTION. Notwithstanding the
times have altered so much, it is
pleasant to drift through the remi-
niscences Of pioneer life, and TO re-
call tho glorious reign of the
rifle.
One of the most celebrated shots
of Kentucky is DR.. G. Graham.
His aim was next to infallible, and
in his younger days he killed as cf-
fectivcly at long as at short range.
Tho Louisville Courier-J ournal
tells that he could ring the bell or
take the bulls eye at every shot a
distance Of 200 yards, while tur-
key stood little chance of retaining
life if he drew bead on it at 400
yards. For half q century the doc
tor used u favorite rife ocprimitive
make which he christered Butcher
The gun was always kept in the
very best condition, and he loved it
as fondly as he could have loved Il
child. The barrel was thirty three
inches long, and tho bore nine-six
teenths of an inch, carrying thirty
two balls TO the pound.
The doctor is now an old man
and he bas bequeathcd his rifle &c
posterity. He has placed it in tho
museum at Louisville, and it hangs
side by side with rife that proved
such terror to the Indians in the
hands of Daniel Boone. 1t is wei
to treasure up these relies of from
tier life, for they are part of Tho
history of the State that once
was looked upon by the civilized
world MS "the dark and bloody
ground"

How She Did It,

[From the Indianapolis Journal, Dec. 2s]
In the village of Darlington,
Montgomery county, lives a man
named Best, who has been accus-
toned to spend too liberal share
of his time and money at the sa-
loon, where he was always cordial
ly welcomed by the saloon keeper,
despite the earnest entreatics of
the neglected wife that her husband
should not be furnished any intoxi-
eating drink. On Christmas day,
Best, as usual, repaired to the sa-
loon, whittier he was soon followed
by his wife, who, finding all her en-
treaties in vain, 'despairing of any
good results from the influence Of
moral suasion, and enraged at the
contemptuous manner with which
her appeals had been treated, seiz
ed poker and began to demolish
such light articles within her reach
as lamps and mirrors. The hus-
band, enraged at this treatment of
his FREUD, seized his wife, dragged
her to the door and kicked-her into
the street. The two worthless then
locked tho door, armed themselves
One with o revolver and the 9TH
or with a shot gun, and threatened
20 shoot her, should she attempt to
force an entrance. Nothing daunt-
ed, the now thoroughly enraged
woman renewed the struggle, APP
pealing to tho crowd which had
been collected by her cries to pro-
cure her all axe that she might
batter down the door. Some one
threw her the desired,weapon, and
armed with it she advanced boldly
upon the enemy's works, despite
their threats, carried the outworks
by. storm, and having gained an en-
trance, alone and single-handed,
proceeded to demolish everything
within reach, the two cowardly
brutes a meanwhile menacing her
with gun and pistol, but fearing
oven to lay hand upon her. When
Mrs. Best had completed the work
of destruction among bottles, de-
eanters. and glasses, smashed out
the windows, and made the room
almost, if not quite untenatablo, she
Withdrew unharmed, to cool her
wrath in the solacing thought that
she had at least temporarily pat a
stop to the operations of that sa-
loon. What she did with her
worthless husband we have not
been able to learn.
