Up We Go.

Wv w
To-day we bid adieu to our friends and
start on the trip ''up Salt River The
number Of passengers on board is perhaps
larger than was ever known before, and
as most Of them arc kind hearted, noble
fellows, we hope for a pleasant trip and
safe return. The country is we'll known
to some of our associates who will be able
to point out to us many places Of interest
but to usit will be an entirely new place
and q strange country. Thanking our
friends who worked molly to secure our
success, but whose efforts were powerless
by a strong pressure that was brought to
bear, even by men of whom We might
have expected silence if nothing more,
but we wave our banner in acceptance of
the result, assuring our friends that we
shall ever remember them for their sur.
port and that we acquies CO to the decision
of the people.

HORROR.
An Orphan Girl Raped and Muir
dered in Carter Co.

dered in Carter Co.
AS we 60 to press we learn from q
reliable source that a most horrible
crime was committed in Carter Coun-
ty, a few days ago. We have been able
to get only a few of the particulars
connected with the shocking affair, but
give the facts to our readers as we re.
cieved them from our informant. A
young girl by name, Miss Moody, liv.
ing on Buffalo Creek, near the Wash.
ington County line, left her home to 60
to the house Of a neighbor, a mile Oh
two distant, and while on her way was
assaulted by a negro boy, who after
doing violence to her person, murdered
her by cutting her throat from q to
ear. Her long absence elected
search on the part of he. friends
which resulted in the discovc,
ry of her body, mang'ed and bloody, a
short distance from the roadside whore
the fend had dragged it after commit,
ting this double crime. We unde rstand
that the pcrpctrator is in custody, and
fears are entert aimed that IN his case the
law will not be permitted to take its
course.
Since writing the above, we learn
that an enraged mob of his own color,
took the negro boy, whose name we
understand is Bill Morley, from the
custody ofthe officers and hung him
until he was dead.

That Baby.

The most excited gentleman we have
noticed for many days, was one of our
prominent merchants, whe ives walking
the streets early one morning'last week.
III seems that during the night previous
our friend was found with a bran new
girl baby. Although such occurances
had often taken place before in his
family, mono seemed to give him such
general and Overwhelming grati6ca-
sion. But tho worst of an is he seems
TO take great delight in annoying his
neighbors who arc not blessed with such
little responsibilities" We wish cur
friend all the happiness possible but
at the same time think he should not
boast too much over his more unCor
tunate friends.

PosTPoNEMENT LAST GIFT CONCERT
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
The announcement of the postponemenl
of the fifth and last concert Of the Public
Library of Kentucky to the 3Oth Novem-
Der, | am satisfied, will surprise few and
disappoiut none of the friends and patrons
of the enterprise. Indeed, any other course
would create dissatisfaction. With a pre-,
csdent of a ~postponement Of each of the
four concerts which have already been
given, the public have very naturally and
reasonably expected that in this, by far
the largest scheme of the series and the
largest ever offered to the world, the same
course would be followed, and there are
thousands all over the country who are
only waiting for the setting of a certain
tircd day for the drawing before sending
in their orders. The sales of tickets to
this date have been highly satisfactory,
and a large drawing might be had on the
3lst July, but, feeling assured that a short
postponement would enable us to close
out the remainder ofthe tickets'and make
the drawing a full one, we have adopted
the course which has evidently been an
ticipated, and which must eyentuate NEST
satisfactory for all.
Now that the day of the drawing is alb
solutely determined, there remains no
further occasion for delay, aud | would
urge the friends Of the enterprise, who in
tend'to purchase tickets, to send in their
orders, as it will tax my Office to its ut,
most capacity to accomplish all that is to
be done in the short time which remains
for the sale Of tickets.

manager to perform what he promises,
that there can be no doubt that on the

How Did He Know

xou eften in Paris meet the Breton
lads, and instantly recognize them by
the cut o. t..eir hair. The girls, how
ever little, all wear white caps that con-
ceal every atom of hair, which, togeth-
er with their wide collars, give them q
very quaint. old-fashioned appearance.
The girls are very proud Of those same
Tapping. wide collars. and wrinkle or
crease would be very distressing.
But" said our artist and compag-
non de voyage, '.you would think these
pretty girls had no lovers, for their COL
lars are never rumpled. and it is gener-
ally conceded that lover in the rural
districts always implies tumbled curls
and collars How dc you s'pose they
manage -
DO without the lover.
BY no means. They just slip their
hands under their cellars and turn them
up ike hedge about their ears. The
custom has been handed down from
mother to daughter until the most un-
sophisticated young girl Of Is knows
how to slip up her collar and keep It
smooth n well as the wisest-' .
How did you find this out! We
asked, much impressed With the amount

Value OF the Soul.

Truth is the gem to which all that
sparkles on the dress is dross aud paste.
Purity is the pearl, put into no bracelet
or ring. 1t is the soul, whose loss can
not be reckoned as you reckon fortunes
swept away in financial whirlwind, or
consumed in some terrific fire. 1t is
said the ancieHts missed star, one Of
the seven we call Pleiades, sparkling q
setting Of diamonds in the blue sap
phire of the midnight sky. But the
fall Of such star would raise less la
mcnt in heaven, than when sincerity,
honesty, good name falls from the
irmanent Of the humblcst soul. We
talk Of saving the soul. Have we any
soul, among our possessions, left and
how much that we dare call our own
Soul, except as an article Of rnerchan-
disc, is not so common. A man of soul
we do not meet, every day, in the
street. Soul is certain sensibility to
truth, honor and beauty, which the eye
or ear or understanding cannot behold
or contain. 1t is as prec ious gem or
amber, which the richest growth Of hu-
man nature is required to form and dis
till. 1t is the honey Of man in this
hive of his body. 1t is the blossom
and bright consummate flower, which
this coarse stem Of flesh has the privi-
lege to unfold and we say justly Of
mean and selfish people, that they
have no soul, only latent capacity, po-
tentiality or possibility Of fsoul.-C. A.

Drifting to Fortune.

Louisville has had little romance to
tell. Elvira Glover, who kept house
with an almighty illuminated num-
ber, and an easy door-bell, has sold out,
darkened her transom, and gone to
Italy to become a millionheiress and
countess. She was not virtuous, but
is likely to be as happy as a title and
golden fortune can make one. Her
story is briefly this: Fifty years ago,
young English officer named Hen
bricks was travelling in Italy and ram
off with and married the daughter Of
rich and proud Italian nobleman. She
was an only child. The count drove
his daughter and her husband away
from him; they took refuge in Cam
ada, and finally driftcd into New York.
Here the mother died giving birth to
daughter, bnt the daughter lived and
was maintained by German woman.
The father married this woman for his
child's sake, and then he died, and the
step-mother and child drifted and suf-
fered and knocked about the wsrld un-
til the girl was married quite young to
an Ohio river steamboat mate named
Hiram Titus, in Vincennes. Ind. Titus
soon died and left his young wife PEN
niless and frlendless. the world before
her, with meagre education and much
personal beauty for her dover. She
went to Louisville, and she went wrong,
although she married another boatman.
lie was nearly always from home, and
she was gay. He died quarreling with
her and she established herself in the
house where the news Of her grand
fathers death in Italy recently reached
her. She is the sole heir to the Counts q,
title and fortune, and she has gone to
claim and enjoy them. She is yet
young and handsome and may mend
her ways in her far Italian home, where
title covers multitude of sins.
