THIRD GRAND INDUSTRIAL EXPO
sITIoN At LOUIsyILLE.-The Third
Grand Industrial Exposition at Louis
vile, opens on the LIST day of Septem-
Der and closes on the 18th day of o.
tober. The invitation extended to the
Editor of this paper, gives the most
fattering promise of the completeness
and beauty of this third grand result
of Louisville energy and enterprise.
The Art Gallery will be on the largest
scale, and embrace many ofthe greatest
works of Art in this country. In the
variety and general display of the
features that make up an Industrial
Exposition, we are promised an i'm
provement on the two previous seasons,
and are satisfied that the visitor will
find himself richly repaid by careful
inspection of the thousands Of evil
dences of mans inventive power, in
genuity and industry. The Natural
History and other scientific depart
ments will be of the widest interest to
students and lovers of the curious in
nature, and in extent ard variety, will
be the largest ever exhibited.
The railroads terminating in Louis
vile, their connecting lines, and all
steamboat lines will reduce their rates,
and will extend unusual privileges to
persons DESTROYS of visiting Louisville
during the Exposition.
The natural beauty of Louisville in
September, the excellence and cheap
ness of her hotels, and the long dearth
of amusements in this part of the
country, will prompt many to take
trip in which they can combine both
pleasure and profit.

RELIEF MEASURE.


We have never been an advocate for
the relief of widespread money pres
sure, by means of stay laws, because
such pressure is generally the result Of
wild speculation, overtrading and abuse
of the credit system. In such case,
the evil of which the people complain
is self-inhicted, and they have no right
to demand reliet through measure of
such doubtful legality as that Of a
postponement of the collection of
debts. But the pressure, at this juno
ture, is traceable, to great extent, to
circumstances over which the people
had no direct control The blighting
effects Of war, in the destruction Of
property, disturbing the currents of
trade, breaking down system of la
Dor long established and lowering the
value of real estate to ruinous degree,
all have combined to embarrass and
impoverish once prosperous people.
And when we add to these depressing
causes in the past, the present disas-
trous and widely extended drought,
the indications are that the Legislature
may be called upon for relief Tobacco
is the bank from which our people OBJ
tain accommodations; that bank is
now suspended, and the people must be
without the means of relief until that
bank resumes payment. and in the
meantime must submit to an intense
pressure unless they receive legislative
aid-not in money. but in time for re-
cuperation. We hope, however, they
will so far profit by the lesson now be-
ing taught them, as to divide out their
resources and not risk all in bank
that may fail or suspend. Diversity of
is the farmers best secu-
rity against accidents of the season, as
we'll as against the Inconvenience of
receiving but once a year the money |
price of their labor.

A Brave Daughter.

The family of Dudley, of Northampton
shire bears for crest a woman's head
crowned with helmet, the throat-latch
loose, the visor thrown up, and her hair
flowing and dishevelled. Its origin was as
follows. In the latter part of the four
teenth century a brave knight, named
Hotot, had a serious dispute with Sir Jas
per Ringsdale concerning the title to val
liable piece of land and, as last resort,
the rival claimants agreed to meet upon
the disputed territory and settle the matter
by a combat at arms. Hotot was well ad-
vanced in age, and upon the morning of
the appointed day he found himself laid up
with gout, and in such pain that he could
not even arise from his chair. In this
emergency his daughter Agnes, who, held
her fathers honor very dear, and who de-
sired much to retain the land, armed her
self in full knightly panoply, and upon her
fathers well-known charger and bearing a
lance which she had often used in fitting
sport, went forth at the time appointed and
met Ringsdale. The fight was stubborn,
but the maiden's suppleAess of limb finally
prevailed over the knights greater physical
strength, and in the end she dismounted
him. Quickly leaping from her saddle she
drew her dagger, but Ringsdale had no de-
sire to renew the combat and, when he
had acknowledged himself vanquished, his
opponent loosened her throat-latch ano
lifted up the helmet, thus letting down hei
flowing tresses upon her shoulders and dis
covering her sex. The Lady Agnes after
wards married into the Dudley family, anC
in honor Of this ohivalrous and heroic ac
her descendants have used the above cres
with the motto, "Galsa spes salutis,
which is,freeIy rendered, +" In this (helmet

How the Lover was Lost.

TNVERYBODY wonders how Lucy Wills
~ lost her lover. She is very pretty
girl as well as accomplished and intelligent.
DR. Hampton was great catch; and when
he came to Nortonsburg, Lucy was not the
only girl who determined to "set her cap"
for him, and Mrs. Grundy wondered who
would captivate him but very soon the
young physician showed strong preference
for Lucy, and pretty little Lucy was de-
lighted. Every few days they were seen
together, riding, walking, sailing, ETC., and
the little boys counted the dimes they had
made carrying water-melons and things
from the doctor to Miss Lucy. But all at
once his attentions ceased. For a time he
moved about in very quiet way then he
began to visit Alice Leigh, and the village
gossips wondered why it was SO. But you
sec they didn't know anything of the
buggy ride Lucy took with the doctor, the
accident that happened, nor what came of
it. Lucy knows why she lost him, and SO
does the doctor, but she never will tell and
he's perfect gentleman.
You must understand the doctor had not
fully declared himself, but he intended do
ing so and concluded 'twould be so nice to
whisper the words in her ears as they drove
along the shady turnpike. He invited her
to drive out with him, she accepted, and
away they went.
They were very gay, quoting poetry and
making love in the roundabout way that
comes just before the declaration, when
the DOCTORS horse backed his ears, shook
his head, kicked and did so many things
that Lucy became frightened, and before
her lover could prevent it, jumped from the
buggy. Dr. Hampton, after quieting his
horse, went to her.
"Darling, are you hurtP' he asked.
Lucy blushed.
&C. belieye-I think I've sprained my
my foot. 1t was very foolish in me to do So
but l can walk to the buggy, and me must
go home" She attempted to walk, but
fell back powerless in her lovers arms.
"You are hurt" he said, "you must
let me see your foot clad in neatly fitting
boot.
''Your shoe will have TO come Off" he
said, the ankle is swollen very much"
"oh, no, no, no, 60 away" she said,
as he began unlafiHg her boot. "You
shall not take off my shoe" But here the
keen pain struck her again, and she tainted
while her lover rcp owed her tiny boot. But
Immediately he started back in amazement
for there before his bswildered gaze were
the Eve tiny toes Of his lady-love peepinl
out from an immense hole at one extremity
Of her stocking, while at the other was I
