The Shirt that Opened Behind.

A man in Greenfield, whom we
will call William, got up the other
morning, and proceeded to put on a
shirt which his wife had just made
for him after anew pattern. As she
stood at the mirror, curling her hair,
she heard a suppressed sound, half
way between a groan and an oath,
and turning around said, laughing,
"Why. my dearl"-
"Shut up!" he calculated, lmpa-
tiently. '.You are a born fool.
Never let a woman attempt to fit a
shirt, che can't do it; it is n of the
imposibiIities."
"But, William" depreciatingly.
"Don't you taIk-let me do the
talking. Do you think I'm going
down town in this riga pretty
disposition you've got; just because
1 happened to find a little fault last
week with your ironing, you must
go and make me a shirt without a
bosom! Such malicious conduct,
madam, is unpardonable."--
d"
"Shut up, 1 say, I won't hear a
word; when a starched shirt Is the
only inery that man INDUCES in,
is he not excusable for being par
ticular in regard to that, | should
like to know? And this thing don't
set at all. Look how baggy it is in
front; and it feels behind as if there
was a board bound across my back"
at the same time walking up and
looking in the glass. hitching up
first n shoulder and then the
other, after the indescribable man
e of men trying a new garment.
HIS wife dared not speak, but
bringing a good sized mirror from
the next room, she held it up behind
him for a moment; and p%erceiving
by his chop-fallen expression that
he saw the point, and the front, she
ran down stairs to settle the coffee,
and sec that Bridget had set the ia
BILE geometrically.
AS William walked down to his
Office that morning, he said to the
first friend he met, Il tell you, Tom,
that little wife of mine is a born
genius. Look at this shirt, now;
she cut and made 1t all herself. It's
open behind: do you see? no con-
founded button holes to bother a fel
low. Just send your wife up for the
pattern.
And it was by the way of Toms
wife, that Lizzie first knew that
William was pleased with his shirt.

For SaIe--FarmsI

A GOOD FARM of so acres, situated
N on the south side Of Kanawha river,
about halt mile from Its mouth. There
is a good house on the farm, rear the
landing, which is one of the best har-
bors or coal boat landings Oh the Kama
wha. The farm is well watered and well
timbered, but is especially valuable for
its rich coal veins which have been very
little worked, and for a vein of potter's
clay found there. There is, too, a small
orchard near the river OH this farm.
Also; a farm of 143 acres on the Ohio
river, IL miles from Gallipolis. 1t has @
good landing, is rich in coal and iron,
and offers a good situation for a wood or
coal yard.
The reason for wishing to sell these
farms is that the brother of age to profit
ably look after them, is engaged away
from home, and the sisters do not wish
the care of them.

Giles County Teacher InsIi-
GuIe.

1t affords us pleasure to announce
from the report of some of our teachers
who were in attendance, the entire success
of the enterprise 1t was in session
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last
week, in the County Court room in the
city ofPulaski. The essays of the mem
bers and the demonstrations which follow
ed, illustrating the best methods of teach
ing, proved that the teachers of Giles are
we'll posted in the progressive method OF
the profession. The attendance was
much larger than at our own Institute.
And this showed that the citizens feel
more interest in the subject of popular
education, than our citizeps do. Many
Of the fair sex graced the assembly BY
their presence, and cheered more thar
one bachelors heart by their smiles o.
appreciation. Prof LovENTHAL Of Ken
lucky, was in attendance, and by his
inimitable demonstrations and pleasing
illustrations, carried captive public opin'
ion as he did here. Our teachers are
loud in their praises of the hospitality OF
the citizens of our sister city. They
were entertained in most princely style
and will ever hold in pleasing remem-
brance the whole-souled welcome given
them. We wish some of the enthusiasm
manifested in the success of the meeting
could be infused into our own commune
ty: then we would have more hope of the
success of the next Institute to be held in
this place Teachers, why can we not
secure the location of the Congressional
Institute at Columbian

An Explanation by James H.
Thomas.

To The Voters of MdUry Comfy:
GENTLENEN-Upon Monday of last week
a meeting of candidates for the county
offices was held. was invited, though a
private citizen, to preside in their meet
ing. Mr.. FIGUERs, one Of the editors of
the HERALD, was present, and took notes
of the proceedings and made publica-
ton of the same in the last number OF
that paper Not supposing that ! had
anything expected Of me, but to preside
over the meeting, / took no notes CT writ
ing OF what was done. | am informed
that a question has arisen as to who are
to take part in the nomination Of the reg
ular candidates, and what was said OF
done in that meeting upon the subject.
! did not understand the meeting as
claiming the right to fix upon any specific
qualifications necessary to enable a citi-
zen to have voice in the selection of the
candidates. do not recollect any spe-
cial resolution upon the subject; this mat
ter was spoken of and discussed, more, as
| understood it, with view of promoting
harmony and unity of opinion among the
candidates and to recommend the same
TO the voters, as the most probable mode
of securing the acquiescence of all con-
ccrned in its results.
understood the meeting to favor the
idea that all voters who interded bona
fdc to vote for the nominees of the con
vention, had right to vote in their selec-
ton. 1t was not said that persons who
intended TO vote the Radical ticket
should or should not vote, yet inferred
that they should not, This inference OF
IniRe may have arisen in part from my
innate opinions Of the fitness of things,
feeling for myself very sure, that even
OF a candidate to be run by party to
which | was opposed, that | would un-
hesitatiuEly, but respectfully, decline
I'm all the conventions held by the old
parties | never knew a Wing to vote in
the selection Of Democratic candidate,
nor did ! ever know a Democrat to vote
~ making a nomination for the Wings
These two parties, the Wings and the
Democrats, included the wise and the
patriotic Of the land, and we may very
~cll concur in what these two glorious old
parties both approved.
The object of the convention was to get
the people of the county opposed 10 the
Radical party. in their civil districts, by
their delegates to nominate candidates
ior the several offices, to prevent divis-
ions that will result in one defeat; and to
the people Of the civil districts it belongs
to appoint the delegates in such manner
as to them shall seem best, and instruct |
them TO. vote for the candidates of their |
choice. | do not intend to assume any
power or right TO decide or in any way
to judge for them. My desire is that the |
people take an octjre interest in this bus
mess, and that the utmost fairness shall |
charactcrize all their proceedings in this |
matter. Respectfully,
JAMES IL THOMAS.

Fourth Gift Concert
of Public Library of Kentucky
A Gard to the Public.

The Trustees of the Public Library of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gift Con-
cert announce the postponement of the
Fourth Gift Concert until Tuesday, the 3lst
of March next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paralyzed the business of
every section of this country and of Europe
has prevented thousands from investing in
tickets. The epidemics pervading almost
the entire South have cut off large and
available market. And, too, the public
Judging from the efforts of these causes have
expected a postponement and have decIin-
ed to invest without a more positive aSSur-
ance of the drawing taking place on a fixed
day.
All interested desire full drawing, but
for the reason just stated this could not be
had on the Sd of December, but the short
postponement now announced will secure
it.
The management has met with unprece-
dented success. The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to over a MILLION DOLLARS,
vet to hear from, and all others in Europe.
Thus drawing (sca1ing the gifts one
half could be had now, but the manage
ment deem it best to have a postponement
and full dra,Cino.
This pOstponement Gssuyes the sale Of all the
tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That this
determination will meet with the approba-
ton of nearly every one interested is made
apparent by the very numerous letters re-
ceived from every section of this country
and the Canadas asking for a postpone
ment.
This action of the management Will work
no detriment tc any but will be for the good
of all. By Ii the fortunate ticlzet-holder
will receive their gifts IN full while 1t will
not effect those who do not draw gifts.
IN making this announcement the man
agement enphoticdlty state that there shall be no
further postpoRersent, and to this end all agents
will be imperatively required to close u p
and transmit their accounts to this office by
the 2lst of March.
