BEAVER DAM KY, Oct. ~.
Nothing of importance has occurred
in our little town since our last letter.
We have been blessed with beautiful,
healthy weather, and the cry for quin-
inc has somewhat subsided.
The fair is the talk of the day,
which will doubtless be well attended,
part, if not all the week; most likely,
however, Friday will be the day.
Some fears are entertained that the
horses will be visited by the "epizo>
otic' again this winter, but as yet no
eases have been reported.
Mr.. Robert Hines brought to town
the other day, a rattlesnake he had
killed, that measured seven feet in
length and fourteen inches around the
bO,ly.
Taylor & Porter shipped two car
lOluo vi lliic CdtIlc IitSI EDIJuTutl. &.
Barnes & Taylor shipped seven cars
of slaves.
We had last week in the way of
amusements, Prof McGIughy's Vari-
eties, which were interesting and well
attended.
The reason we have not written
since the Taylor reunion is, we loaned
your correspondent, ar our diction-
any, and couldn't spell without it, wish
he would bring it home.
The coal mines are all in full blast,
additional miners are being employed,
and large amount of coal being
shipped both East and West.
Mr.. |. b. Nall, of the Farmers
Home JoW-na', was in town Sunday,
Mr.. Oven NJ. Barber and bride,
(ues Miss Annie b. Fryrear, ofBoston,
Nelson county, Ky,) accompanied by
Mr.. j. NJ. SImuels and wife, arrived
to-day, and are stopping at the Poyner
House. To oour newly married friends,
we extend cordial welcome; may
your stay among us be mutually pleas
ant and profitable, your path through
life, be strewn with flowers, your
thoughts golden, and finally a peaceful
entrance into the "haven of rest"

LETTER FROM An EGYPTIAN.

FRIEND MEHEMTT:-The sudden
transition from the banks of our beau
tiful Nile, to the muddy waters of the
Ohio in North America, was so sud-
den, that | can scarcely believe my
senses. But after looking around at
the strange sights, the strange manners
and customs of this strange people, !
am forcibly reminded that everything
is too true to be a dream.
According to the promise given you
before leaving our delightful Egypt
for this land of SHOWS and storms, |
will first give you some idea of the way
things are managed in this heather
country, and secondly, | will try to
inform you Of the peculiarities of the
heather.
The State l am located in at pres
ent is named Kentucky, the inhabi
tants of which are subject to host of
officers, appointed by the General
Government, and by the Governor of
the State, while some are elected by the
people themselves, who imagine this is
one Of the most sacred gifts given to
man, this freedom of electing their own
tyrants, never thinking that this very
freedom must, in the end, become the
means of demoralizing society to its
very foundation. In fact, its demoral,
lzing effects are beginning to be felt al
ready, for no election ever passes but
one or other of the parties arc accused
of the crime Of bribery. This thing |
am informed, is getting quite common,
since the negroes, that were formerly
The Hartford herald., 1875-10-13

the slaves of the whites, have become
freemen, and have been allowed the
privilege of the ballot>box, on al equal
footing with their former masters.
Being very ignorant, and not un-
derstanding the trickery Of the aspi-
rants for office, those negroes are very
easily duped and bought, by the I'M
principaled politician, who appears to
be natural product of this freeC)
American soil.
The newspapers, too, play an impor-
tant part in managing the afflirs of the
community at large. With the politi-
cal science of the country, they have all
in all to do; being divided into two dis
tinct parties, named respectively Rad.
icals and Democrats-they hold the
power pretty well balanced between
them. Even the internal affairs of the
people are managed by those same
newspapers. Advice as to agriculture,
stock raising, how to be born, and how
to marry, and how TO die, is given i'll
every number of those monitors of mo-
rality. Every little town and village
has its correspondent also, who imagines
that his duty consists in writing up per-
sonalities concerning the community
with which he associates. IF Miss so
and so visits a friend, it is duly chron-
icled, and appears in the next issue of
the county newspaper. If this same
Miss happens to have slight head
ache, that same is recorded also, and
even if that Miss would go to-well,
any where, the scrib5ling wretch, who
deals in personalities, would think it a
duty to have it published in next
weeks paper. This offense, which
would be punished in our countryby the
mild infiction of the "bastinado," is
perpetrated here with impunity, and
those Of Romeo Pinkstatf's" are consid-
cred by all, but the injured person, as
wits of the first magnitude.
Besides the secular, they have their
religious newspapers also, of which
will speak slightly in my next. Until
then, may your shadow grow no less.

there is a house not far from here with

In conclusion must add that our town

it is to tell why the town ia sometimes

great is the effect, so completely are their
heads and hearts bewildered that they

EDITOR IIERALD:-lt is 4 time-honored

give a description of the town in which
they are located; and your correspondent

a better beginning than by aIhering to
the existing custom. Then for brief de-
scription of Glennville, which is pleas
antly situated on the Owensboro and Ca l.
hoon road, and about six miles from the
town of Calhoon. Gennville. though not
the largest, is by no means the least that
bears the name of town, and, as regards
business, it rivals many, with more SNOWY
buildings. To be convinced of this fact,
it is only necessary to listen to the ceas-
less ringing ofhammers and saws in the
shops belonging to Mr.. j. II. Jackson
and r. F. Collins But there is better
proof still in the way of wagons, plOws,
and other farming implements, which in
beauty and utility defy competition.

How Patience York.

The means by which patience ia Taught in the
providence Of God are many. Tie reasons for
which these employed and the occasions re-
quired sheds light upon many mysterious pass
ages Of Life. There is, for example, the neces-
sity OF industry. Men are not anything except
bundles OF tendencies and capacities. The pri-
mary tendencies Of mans life are the preserva-
ton OF the body, the obtaining Of food and
warmth. This is tendency that appeals to the
human family for exertion- The cultivation Of
This faculty reaches wider scope, and the ele-
ment Of disposition c.mes in, and with it pa
tience. We talk Of means OF grace, as il they
we're all in the Bible and the hymn
book. Before there was Bible there
wac physical industry which prepared
man for the use and development OF himself,
and which educated the different parts Of nature.
Then there are the economies OF life-for exam

comes an element of patience. 1t ia the soul
teaching itself to endure in conditions of suffer-
Ing. It ia mankind rising up, and it s general
ly the earliest manhood that involves ID itself q
principle. 1t is not generally the young men
who are willing and who are ready 10 die for
their principles or for their country. 1t is the
power that endured that develops heroism- Still

reason Of our own social pleaaures Keep the

But We have heart that has spread its tendrls
around and over Us. Can you guarantee that tho
love shall bring no pain back to you. Can your
imagination have exercise, and cometh from it
no acting influence Can by this have my hap
piness under my own control! What If God
