A gentleman in our city was surprised one day
THIS week, to receive by express, charges paid,
Two paper boxes of small assorted merchandise,
suitable for Christmas gifts. He thought, at
first that ii was present, but soon found a
letter enclosing bill for $l7.60, and requrs:-
lrg him to select such articles as he mig t
watt and return the rest by express at the ex-
prase of the sender, who, though an entire
stranger, proposed 10 wait until next spring
for payment for any articles purchased. or or
dered 10 the future. On reversing the wrap
per, printed direction TO the party who sent
the package appeared, and prepaid envelope

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 5.
EDITOR HERALD:-Last week l
was sick when the time for scribbling
came around, consequently l couidcn't
come to time. The HERALD came du>
ly to hand last week, and its contents
were devoured with a keen relish.
There is nothing equal to a good home
paper, and to one that is absent from
his old home it Is doubly dear. 1t is
as a letter from an old friend, full of
interesting information, every topic is
touched upon, the business of old
friends is noted, the local column is
brimfull of interest, and the personals
were old friends mentioned, generally
in a complimentary manner, causes a
genuine pleasure that none except
those who have "been there" can ap,
preciate. There comes the mournful
intelligence of death, perhaps of an
old friend, and we pause, while a
feeling of sadness steals over us, as was
the case when we read of the death of
Aunt Susie Coleman. Her loss will
be deeply felt by the community, and
no one can fill her place; she was in
deed mother in Israel. 1 have often
thought how well she needed the ad-
monition of Paul to the Romans, when
he said, "Be not slothful in business;
fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; re,
joicing in hope, &c. Her son has
preached many eloquent sermons, but
her life was a sermon more eloquent
than all the studied oratory of them
all.
Louisville has quite a number of
Ohio county folks in her directory, and
| suppose they all take the HERALD,
if not, they are sadly in want of good
taste. Ionce asked Hopkinsvillian
why so many Christian county people
had found their way to this city, aud
he said that the supply of talent was
greater than the home demand, and
was bound to hunt an outlet. Perhaps
the same reason caused the representa-
tives from Ohio county to emigrate.
In this connection, L would mention
that they are doing well. Mrs. Hart
and Mrs. Hoke are still keeping first
class house, in which to entertain and
make comfortable their many friends
who may visit the city. Uncle Ste
phen Stateler is still dabbling in coal,
and if / thought the old fellow didn't
take the HERALD, would tell you
that believe he contemplate matri-

men will appreciate his efforts to adj
vance the farming interest of the coun-
try, and give him a good subscription
list. One more personal, colOred.
Many of your readers doubtless re-
member a negro man, Horace Rucker,
a son of Uncle Dick, who left home
and went into the army during the
war. Well, | met Horace some time
ago, that is, part of him, he got
caught in circular saw, and tore both
arms off near the elbow since the war,
and L hardly knew him. He had been
all through the war, was discharged,
and went to work in Columbia, Tenn e,
where he met with this mishap, but he
didn't give up and 90 on the county as
many would have done, but kept up
and done what he could, and is now
getting thirty dollars a month, his
work being to keep up the tools &C.,
for street repairs. He has little wag-
on in which he hauls the tools, and
makes himself generally useful. He
told me when saw him last, that he
had little money ahead, and was GO
ing to buy home. So much for per-
severance.
Louisville is gradually SOLDERING
down, the races are over, the circuses
all gone, the exposition drawing to a
close. Hays meetin' house prospect
is a failure, and even the Mayorality
muddle is getting fiat, so that unless
the measles Or chicken pox breaks out,
| don't know what we will do, but if
anything turns up I'll let you know.

GOVERNOR LESLIE AND HIS
TRADUCER.S.

The vindictiveness with which Gov.
ernor LESLIE is being pursued by GER
tain Demo cratic papers of the State
is not only remarkable, but decidedly
uncalled-for and unjustifable. In
performing the functions of the GU
bernatOrial Office, he won high and
deserved praise. He did his duty
impartially, and with an eye single
to the best interests of the people, to
the preservation of law and order, to
the good name and lasting honor OF
the State. But few months ago,
and the very papers that are now
villifying him were loudest in his
praise. Why this change? Simply
because he is a candidate for the po-
sition of u S. Senator. Nothing
more. Why should that let loose
upon him the pack that are now
bounding him down? Because the
friends of BECK and WILLIAMS find
it necessary to sacrifice him in order
to assure the victory to one or the 9TH
er of those aspirants to the Senatorial
toga, and, prythee, good reader, what
do they allege against "the pure and
spotless Governor" This only:
HE has scattered pardons right
and left-he has crippled the Judiciary
arm-he has set at naught the yer.
diets of the juries he has Frustrated
the law-he has given immunity to
crime by the wholesale pardon ofcrim-
mails"
While we admit that We have ever
opposed the vesting Of the pardoning
power in any officer, and believe that
the ends of justice would be best sub
served if the Chief Magistrate of the
State were entirely stripped of that
dangerous prerogative, still he is
invested with that power, and Gov
enor LESLIE, in common with all the
other distinguished citizens who have
preceded him in the high position
he recently surrendered, has used it.
Let us examine into the matter ard
