KENTUCKY ITEMS.

The fruit crop in Boyle county has
all been totally destroyed.
The county Of Greenup has eight
iron furnaces in operation.
The Kentucky State Medical Asso-
citation holds its annual meeting at
Paducah, April 3.
The Jessamine Journal favors the
removal of the State Capital to Lex
ington.
The recent cold weather has injured
the wheat cropin Mason county.
The citizens of Elkton, Todd coun-
tip, have just petitioned to the Legisla-
ture by vote of 81 to p to repeal the
laws relating to the charter of their
town.
G. II. McNutt, ESD, of Mayfeld,
purchased the Masonic building in that
place for $500. 1t cost originally
$1,000.
Hardin is the largest peach growing
county in the State, and the crop this
year will be very light-not over a
third as heavy as it was last year.
The last years tobacco of Taylor
county is largely in the hands of spec
ulators. Not more than one-third of
it has been forwarded to Louisville.
Farmers are preparing for big crop
this year.
The Aiaysville Manufacturing Asso-
citation, with capital stock of $780,
600, is organized 1t is on the plan of
the Building and Loan Association,
and promises to be of great value to
Maysville in establishing various kinds
of manufactures.
Shelby county, during the season just
closed, sold at the Louisville market
81, 900 hogs, averaging go pounds in
weight, at an average price ofs3,7 rs per
hundred, after paying cost of ship
ment, or 5 1850 per head; making the
total 1861 800.
Notwithstanding such wretched
roads in christian county KY, that it
often takes eight mules to pull one
hogshead of tobacco through the
mud to market, the product is coming
into Hopkinsville at the rate of from
fifty to one hundred hogheads, daily.
The sales of the season thus far foot
up to ,257 hogsheads.
On the 9th, ult. while the regular
passenger train On the Mobile and
Ohio road was going at its usual speed
near Kenton station, forty three miles
from Columbus, Kentucky, and TWEEN
ty-seven miles from Humboldt, two
passenger and one sleeping car were
ditched, and forty or fifty persons in
jured. Some were seriously bruised,
and those on board not injured were
frightened beyond description. When
the big scare subsidized, and the people
had examined their shins and plastered
their noses, and other bruised spots
fore and aft, we were reshipped and
came safely to this submerged village.
The Lebanon Standard says: I'VE
have made diligent inquiry into the
condition of the wheat crop in this
section. and from all we can learn it
has suffered considerably from the Sc
verify of the winter. About Raywick
the farmers say that it is all frozen
out, and that they will hardly realize
the seed sown. About ST. Mary's we
learn that some farmers speak of
blowing up their wheat-6elds. Other
accounts are somewhat less discourag-
ing; and, allowing for the tendency of
some to overrate the extent of an ap-
pretended loss, we think it safe to con-
clude that though the wheat crop is
somewhat injured, yet there is still
hope for a fair yield should the season
be favorable from this time till har-
vest,

THE Inauguration on Tuesday, was
attended by an immense display of
glitter and tinsel and dense mass of
human beings. The striking feature
of the occasion was the President, the
highest civil officer, supported by
Sherman and Sheridan, the represen-
tatives of the military. The most
sickeniDg feature was the long files of
citizens and soldiers doing homage to
tyranny and celebrating with gaudy
display the downfall of libertv-liver-
led slaves avowing their fealty to their
military masters.

in the South. Just this: whilst the
Radical majority harbOrs. defends and
protects thieves of high degree, the
soldiers are the shelter under which

soldiers are the passive instruments of
crime; the Radical majority the con-
scious and active abettors of crimi-
nails, and as guilty morally, as the bas-

States out of old ones, propose to take
a large slice Of West Tennessee, the
Purchase, of Kentucky and the north

them together as the State Of Jack

to unite western North Carolina and
East Tennessee and form State to be
called FARMLAND, or some other fancy

schemes we hope the seeding portions
of Tennessee will not be permitted to

Personal.

We copy from the Memphis Appeal,
of the 9th ult., the following merited
tribute to the intellectual and moral
worth of our townsman, Major G. A.
Henry, and most heartily endorse it.
He won distinction at time when
honesty and high order of intellect
were essential in the make up" of the
patriot statesman. when Henry and
johnson struggled for supremacy the
era of dishonest demagoguery and pop
ular generalization mad just COM
menced in Tennessee, and the most
comprehensive criticism upon the then
rival politicians, is the fact that Major
Henry in the fulness of his honest
and enlightened patriotism chung to
his people and section, whilst j Johnson
became traitor to both and to the
Constitution of his country. In these
two facts lie the characteristic differ
ence between the two men whom it
would be SANDER to mention in the
same breath, did not the truth of his
tory demand the association. May
the Major live long, as a landmark to
guide rising genius on its way to hon.
est and honorable distinction:
Major Gustavus A. Henry, perhaps
the foremost living popular orator Of
Tennessee, is sojourning with his son
and daughter, at the Peabody Hotel.
He has not visited Memphis for sew
eral years, and surely, even at his own
home in GAINESVILLE, he has not truer
friends, or admirers more sincere, than
in this city We remember his con-
test with Andrew johnson twefity
years ago, when the graceful, felicit-
Gus speaker, Mr.. Henry, collided with
the then Red Republican Democrat,
in the Exchange Building The great
hall was thronged by IN excited null
titude; Pinch was solid and roared
for Andrew johnson, while South
Memphis stood by Henry. johnson
triumphed at the ballot box, but no
one ever asserted that Henry was not
pre-eminent in all that invests with
enduring fame the orator and states
man. He then bowed in devout ador-
alton before the shrine of Clay's i'm
mortal genius and renown even as An
drew johnson lavished eulogies upon
the name and fame and deeds of An
drew jackson. That was wonder
full era of political and personal parti-
zanship, when Henry and johnson
struggled for supremacy; and there
may be as glorious days yet in store
for us. 1t is only needful for the
young men of our time to find brilli-
ant examples in surviving statesmen
of the by-gone age, and of these there
arc none worthier of all honOrs than
Gustayus A. Henry. True, time has
written legibly on his brow, but his
form is unbent, and his step elastic,
and his eye is still illumined by its
wonted fires. Especially is he well
pleased when some delightful memory
is recalled. or when he tells some story
illustrative of public life as it was be-
fore Credit Mobiliers were born. 1t
was thought, some months ago, that
Mr.. Henry's health was incurably i'm
paired. There is nothing, we are hap
py TO say, in his manner or appearance
indicative of such state of facts
On the contrary. his friends believe
that he will be spared many years, if
only to present an illustrious example
in intelligence, and public and private
morals, worthy the imitation of the
coming race of great men in Ten
nessee.

Tired Mothers,

BY MRS. ALBERT SMITH.
A little fellow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee that has so much to bear;
A ehild's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers folding yours so tight -
You do not prize the blessing overmuehi
You almost are to tired TO pray tonight.
But it is blessedness. year ago
did not see it as do to-day
We are so dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now it seems surprising strange to me
That while wore the badge of motherhood,
| did not kiss more oft and tenderly,.
The little child that brought me only good.
And if, some night when you sit down to rest.
You miss this elbow from your tired knee,
This restless, curling head from of your lreast
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had slipped
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into the grave had tripped
/ could not blame you for your heartache then
wonder so that mothers ever fret
AT little children clinging TO their gown;
Or that the footprints when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown
If could find little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket on my chamber floor;
If | could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear its patter in my home once more;
If could mend broken cart to-day.
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the sky
There is woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than /.
But ah the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
My singing birding from its nest is flown.
The Aldiae.
