HARLAN is DISINGENUOUS, OR
BLUNDERS FEARFULLY

BLUNDERS FEARFULLY.
We are inclined to the opinion that
Gen. HARLAN did lope into the present
canvass without preparation" sure
enough, else he would not stumble and
founder and blunder around among the
State finances like he does. If ex-
perience be profitable, we should have
imagined that to an old and seasoned
professional politician like HARLAN it
would have brought perfection in the
matter of adroitness-which, to the pol
itician, is a more valuable possession
than wisdom. Not that HARLAN is
lacking in the latter. We must do him
the justice to say that his head contains
the brains Of his entire party in this
State. But he is guilty of sweating his
tobacco this time. And his blunders
in handling the question of the State
finances are the more inexcusable from
the fact that his knowledge is contra
dictory of his assertions on the stump.
In truth he is guilty of the error of
swearing his horse is sixteen feet high
because lapsus Hagta made him give
it that height at the start.
General HARLAN states that in 1867
the resources of the sinking fund were
sS,O22, 344 p, and i'll 1873 they were
s., 2S3, 494 81. Here, exclaims the
General, is a deficit of So, 73S, $40 20
under Democratic rule! Who got this
money! Thereby actually trying to
create the impression among his hearers
that Democratic State officials had en-
bezzled that amount of State funds,
when, at the very moment he uttered
the charge no man in Kentucky knew
better than he how unfounded it was.
He knew at the time he uttered the I'LL
generous aspersion that it was without
foundation in fact.
This apparent discrepancy is easily,
honestly and satisfactorily accounted
for. In 1867, Auditor SAIyELs est.
mated the stock of the State in turn
pike roads and other internal improve
ments-which form a portion of the re-
sources of the sinking fund-at the
cost of the improvements to the State
instead of at its then actual market val.
ue, as he ought to have done. BY his
crediting the sinking fund with the orig
inal expenditures Of the State on works
of internal Improvement, he gave the
sinking fund fictitious resource from
that quarter of s4,S30,475 90. The
remainder of this apparent deficit is
accounted for by the dropping from the
list of resources the States stock in the
old Bank of Kentucky, The dividends
of which went into the sinking fund,
and which was sold under authority
Of an act of the Legislature, for SIP
per share, after it was estopped issuing
notes by the National Bank act Of Con.

y NEGRO revivalist named ANDREW
COOK is said to be as effective with his
own race, in Mississippi, as MOODY and
SANKEY are with white people. He is
apowerful fellow, physically and vocal.
~, and the scenes that attend his fer.
vid exhortations are described as being
the acme of religious excitement. A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
merciaI attended one of his meetings.
After a'karTowing sermon, that wrought
the impressible hearers to intense
feeling, he made the following admoni-
ton and appeal: "Now, bredren and

Of err husband, all her hopes and proud
anticipations conferred, has fallen among
thieves, who have stripped him and rob-
bed him of health, of mind, and Of that
affection which was to have cheered her
age and sooth the downward path of life
Now there is nothing but weeping and
sorrow and fear and despair. But there
is a change, an arm of affection is cast
around her-a hand Of love has wiped
away her tears. A good Samaritan has
restored her son safe and sound. That
Samaritan is our order. That hand and
that arm we extended.
Note yon loving wife, mark with what
love and confidence and pride she smiles
upon the handsome and noble man at
her side, who is her husband; notice with
what eagerness those three lovely children
press forward for the loved caress of
which they are noso never disappointed;
say now for it was not always so. Once
they fled and crouched and covered at
his approach. Curses and blows they
then received instead of kind greetings
and affectionate and loving caresses and
embraces, as now. What makes the
change? Go ask him; and he will point
proudly at the banner inscribed with the
motto Faith, Hope and Charity. Such
are our works; and hence we call our
order Noble" We have the prayers
Of the wife for her restored husband, of
the father and the mother for their res
cued son; of the children-youths and
maidens-for the regained affections of
their once estranged parents-of all for re-
newed hopes of happiness in the far flu
ture.
We are proud of our order, and shall 10
our duty as Good Templars. We must,
it true to our principles, be more benevo-
lent, more charitable, and better men and
women than before. Our power is love.
Far in the distance see the triumph
of this order-a mighty host which no
man can number. From the four winds
of heaven they come. Their Banners
float in the sunlight that gilds the cas-
tern hills, and wave in the breeze that
kiss the Rocky Mountains. Thousands
of voices come-like the songs of angels
singing in strains as gentle as the songs of
Bethlehem.
Faith has won her laurels; Hope has
conquered the world; Charity endureth
forever.

We hold it to be absolutely essential to the
preservation of the liberties of the citizens that
the several States shall be maintained in all
their rights, dignity and equality, as the most
complete and reliable administration of their
own domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks
against anti-republican tendencies. Every
attempt on the part of the Federal Government
10 exercise a power not delegated to it in the
Constitution, or to exercise delegated power
in any manner not therein prescribed, is an act
of usurpation, demanding the instant and un-
qualified condemnation of people jealous of
their liberties. And we hold that any uncon-
stitutional interference by the. General Govern
ment with the local affairs of any State to any
be at once condemned by all classes of every
section of the Union, as all such acts tend to
the destruction of our Federal system and the
consolidation of all power 10 a centralized dss-

THE JAMES BROTHERS.

Several weeks ago We published the
fact that the JAMES Brothers, the no
torious Missouri bandits, were in this
State, and, at that writing, were in our
neighboring county of Webster. Our
neighbor, the Grayson County Herald,
issued the succeeding day, contained
substantially the same statement, with
the additional information that the ed
itor, w. r. HAYNES, esq, had an OPP,
portunity to interview the famous ban
dts, when in their vicinity few days
before, but declined to improve the shi-
ming hour.
In a few days our statement was de-
MED right and left, and denounced as
sensational and "canard." Yet
every word of it was Gospel truth
The JAMEsEs were in Webster county
at the time We stated, stopping with a
brother-in-law, man named JARRETT,
who lives five or six miles back of Se>
bree City. The gang consisted of two
of the JAMES boys, two of the YOUNG
Err boys, and young JARRETT, broth
er of their host. They did not attempt
to conceal their identity, were armed
to the teeth, protested that they were
not in Kentucky for harm, and defed
arrest for their misdeeds in Missouri.
They were ct first suspected of firing
the Touring mill at Sebree City, and of
the murder of the DAY lad, but wrong
fully SO. as the highly concentrated wis
dom of the vicinage decided that the
fire was accidental, and that the lad had
fallen and died ON the railroad track
with his neck across one rail and his
legs across the other-in an epileptic
fit. The only devilment they commit
ted while in Webster county, was at
RoBARDs' Station, where, while on a
spree, they "gutted" whisky shop;
but next day, when sober, amply re-
Enumerated the proprietor for the dam
age they had inflicted upon him.
Our latest advices from Sebree City,
some ten days ago, were to the effect
that the gang had left the country, with
the avowed intention of proceeding to
the Indian Territory, where it was be.
lieved they had gone. But from recent
publications in the COm'ierJoural, il
appears that they have gone up into the
interior of the State, where banks are
more plentiful and Weather than they
are in this region. That paper claims
to have reliable information that the
gang is lurking in the hills of Spencer
and Nelson counties.

Fattening Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten
chickens while they are at liberty.
They must be put up in a proper coop,
and, this, like most other appurtenan>
ces, need not be expensive. To fatten
twelve fowl, the coop may be three
feet long, eighteen inches high and
eighteen inches deep, made entirely of
bars. No part solid-neith top, sides
nor bottom. Discretion must be used,
according to tho size of chickens put
up. They do not want any room; in
deed, the closer they are the better,
provided they can all stand up at the
same time. Care must be taken to
put such as have been accustomed to
be together, Or they will fight. If one
is quarrelsome, it is better to remove
it at once, as, like other bad examples,
it soon finds imitatorss Diseased chick
ems should never be put up.
The food should be ground oats,
and may either be put up in a trough
Or on a board running along the front
of the coop. 1t may be mixed with
water and milk-the latter is the bet
ter. 1t should be well soaked, forming
a pulp as loose as can be, provided it
does not run off the board. They
must be fed three or four times day,
the first time as soon after daybreak as
may be possible or convenient, and
then at intervals of four hours. Each
meal should be as much as they can
eat up clean, and no more. When
they are done feeding, the board should
be wiped and some gravel spread. 1t
causes them to feed and thrive.
After a fortnight of this treatment
you will have good, fat fowls. If,
however, there are but five or six to
be fatted, they must not have as much
room as though there were a dozen.
Nothing is easier than to allow them
the proper space, as it is only necessa>
ry to have two OR three pieces of wood
to pass between the bars and form a
partition. This may also serve when
fowls are up at different degrees of
fairness. This requires attention, or
fowls will not keep fat and healthy.
As soon as the fowl is sufficiently fat
ted it must be killed; otherwise it will
not get fatter, but will lose flesh. If
fowls are intended for the market, of
course they are or may be fatted at
once; but if for home consumption, it
is better to put them up at such inter-
walls as will suit the time when they
will be required for the table.
When the time arrives for killing,
whether they are meant for market or
otherwise, they should be tasted with>
out food or water for twelve or fifteen
hours. This enables them to keep for
some time after being killed, even in
hot weather. Journal Of Chemistry.
