A Short PostpOnement OF the Fifth GIFT
Concert.
As manager Of the gift concerts given in aid Of
the Public Library OF Kentucky, my position Gre
ates an important trust in behalf OF the Public
Library and the ticket holders Of the fifth gift
concert The Public Library of Kentucky and the
tickethslder5 jointly interested in the amount
of the drawing The larger the fund to be distrib-
ted in gifts the greater will be the gift awarded to
each lucky tfcket-holder and the more the amount
realized by the Library. To have full drawing
is so aninestly to the interest Of those interested
that, rather than have fractional drawing Oh the
s9th inst deem it dee to the trust confded TO me
BY the ticket. holders and the Public Library Of
Kentucky, that a short POstpODement be made TO
enable me TO dispose OF the unsold tickets and
have . fun drawing. Though the very large
amount now in bank would enable to distribute
handsome gifts yet we should feel disappointed in
this our last concert, should we be compelled to
make a fractional drawing, however large.
We have received 50 very large number Of let
tiers from all parts Of the country from those most
largely interested urging postpOnement II ali
the tickets be not sold by the seth, that We feel
siren gthened in our sense OF duty 70 the tic ct
holders and the Public Library, TO make the post
ponement Under the circumstances. we have
determined in the Interest Of all parties. post

positively take place; and. as guarantee OF good
faith toward ticket-hoIGers, we pledge ourselves
to refund 10 any ticket holder his money, upon

The Value of Brains.

The innumerable articles which ap-
pear continually on Chow to u AXE the
farm pay" says The Germantown Tel
egraph, are enough to make 8 horse
sick. People should know by this time
that fortunes do not grow, but are
made. Once in a while a person may
stumble over a fortune, as lightning
strikes tree but these are providen-
tial occurrences and are not in the every
day hands Of man. A man may have
the most fertile soil and raise the big
& est kind of crops; but if he has not
brains enough to know how to go about
selling what he has to the best advan-
tage, somebody else Will reap the best
profit. not he. Or he may have the best
knowledge In the world as to where the
best market is, and the best knack of
finding out who will give the best
prices; but If he has no judgment as to
what crops to raise, or how TO grow
them, he does net get along. How to
make the farm pay is altogether matter
of brains. It is no more of a practical
question than how to make the mill
pay, or how to make the store pay. Not
more than half the men In the world
have any brains TO spare. The other
half have more than they need. They
spare a little for those who are short,
but charge a big interest for the use
thereof.

by the comptroller of the currency fully estab-

IT is only requisite for a young man
with curly hair, black and shiny, mus
tache of the same hue, and pleasing ad
dress to exert fair amount of cheek to
pass offfor distinguished parsonage at
our fashionable wstering-places. Witness
the career of Joseph Bates, waiter, and for
mer inmate of the penitentiary. Mr..
Joseph Bates met at Newport retired
ship-chandler named Byrne, with half a
million. Mr.. Byrne has three daughters,
the youngest, Of course, a lovely being,
the idol of an admiring circle of friends.
Mr.. Joe Bates was Augustus Beekman
who owned half the town of Flushing and
several thousand lots in various parts of
New York and Brooklyn, not to mention
bank account of hundreds of thousands.
Mr. Byrne allowed an intimacy TO spring
up between his youngest and Augustus
Bcckman alias Joe Bates, waiter, and
ex-Pcnitentiary-bird, lent him money,
and encouraged him before the truth
dawned on him. When it did he warned
his daughter. But the maiden was incre
dulous. She consented to private mar
riage with..Augustus, which took place at
Williamsburg, the Rev. William Reaper
officiating. The girl returned to her pa
rents, but the marriage could not long re
main concealed. A suit for divorce has
been brought on the ground offraud.
1t appears that Mr.. Bate. had hired
a friend from the restaurant to play par
son for him, and that the girl was doubly
deceived by the scoundrel. 1t is proba-
bic that she will fail in her suit, as the
laws of the state do not require the SOL
emnization of marriage by Clergyman
1t is less than wonderful that this Oft
repeated swindlc should avail after so
many exposures.
But there is no resisting the charms
of glossy head and dyed mustache at
Newport. Sympathy with the lovely vic
tim must give placeto the less agreeable
feeling Of pity.

carry in enough wood to last all night
He had just placed the fourth upon his
arm when an explosion occurred, and the
same instant he felt as if million red
hot darning needles were dancing up and
down his legs. He had heard from Mrs
Pitman,, BE yelled with pain, and drop
ping the wood, most Of it upon, his toes,
he fell 10 the ground Just as be
did so he-9 saw g Mrs. Pit
man standing in the kitchen
doorway with her frearm at parade
rest and contemplated her victory and
her victim with serenity. Pitmsns first
thought was that she had suddenly been
animated by an insane but judicious de-
sire to realize upon his life insurance
policy. But when he screamed to her,
she dropped her artillery and few to the
scene with expressions ofalarm and grief
at the discovery that she had perforated
Pitman. She called the servant girl,
and As they carried him into the house,
she explained that she mistook him for
q thief, and then she apologized.
Pitman said it was all very we'll to
apologize, but what good was that to
man with two quarts of salt and half
pound of gun-wads in his legs. Mrs.
Pitman insisted that he oughtn't to mind
little salt, it would do him good. She
urged that salt was better than anything
else for preserving meat, and that his
legs would probably be alive and well
and prancing around the universe when
the rest of him was dead and spoiled.
That made him mad, and after splitting
up his gun with an axe, he went to bed,
and he hasn't spoken to Mrs. Pitman
since; but he has limited gloomily to the
doctor that if divorce can be had, he
will obtain one."-Mdg AdLer.

"Good Lord and Good Devil. y

U0Od lgOfu anu UOON DtNlis
The accommodating creed which our DEM
ocrauc friends aunounced at their Congress
sonal Convention on Tuesday last, displays a
latitude Of opinion which corr esponis with the
devotional exercises Of the negro whose faith
was vested, cqrally, in the Good Lord and
the Good Devh. A."
In The second resolution we G5d the follow
ing statement:
Resolred, That in the language Of the In
diana Democracy, eve are in favor Of such
legislation, from time tn time, as will adjust
the volume nf the currency tO the commercial
and industrial wants Of the country"
1t will be remembered by those who are IA
mi liar with the history Of the Democratic
party, that cardinal feature Of its political
creed con nsisied in the advocacy Of specie in e,
stead ,of paper currency. The necessities Vt
the government. which were created by the
war, had no influence in modifying their opin-
ions on. that subject The cognomen of I'M
Gle Sans shinpaSters " and rags" and
many other 0pprubrinus epithes was applied
by them to the paper currency which was is
sued under the necessities Of the nation in the
time Of war. Now when peace is restored and
comparative prosperity prevails, so that the
sneed Of further initiation is obviated, these
Hard Cash" gentlemen wheel right about
aud by resolution affirm that they are I" in
favor Of such legislation, as will adjust the
volume Of currency to the commercial and in
dustrial wants OF the country" By this
resolution they propose to furnish Mr.. Hurd,
as a Democratic Representative, with author
ity for doing, should he be elected, that in
time Of peace, for which they have violently
and persstenly abused the Republican party
for dhing, during the period of nternecna
war. Thus they solve the financial question
by an accommodation force Of lrgic which
comprehends contradictory elements. 1t is
precisely the same process as that by which
the negro approached the objects Of his devo-
tions, His faith grasped both extremes, and
By its com prehensiveness gave him the nssur-
auce, OF success. 1t is thus with our Demo-
cratic brethren-their belief and their teach
ings are contradictory. Of which Good Lord
and Gnnd Devil are fit illustrations. - Toledo
