Bountiful Kentucky.

Good times ought 10 come back to Ken~
lucky before a great while. The agri-
cultural interests of a State uniformly af-
forded a reliable index to the condition
Of the people, and judging by this fact,
the people of this State are bound to be
prosperous. 1t is conceded that the
crops of Kentucky never were more
promising Of bountiful yield than now.
The rye, corn, barley and wheat indicate
unprecedented harvests. 1t is believed,
too. that the large crops, now growing
and gathered, will find an ample market
in the course of the next ten months.
The consequence will be that vast VOL
ume of money will be turned into the
State. Times will be made easier.
People will be able to pay their debts.
The merchants will have an increased
number Of customers, and thus, through
the prolific agencies of Nature, a cure
measure of relief will be insured to the
country. At any rate, so blessed are the
agriculturists of Kentucky, that no fear
need be felt that the people of the State
will not have plenty and to spare.

and the lazy, lounging hunters, with in-
termediate grades between the first, waged
perpetual war around them, adding acre
after acre to their cleared lands, which,
unfortunately, they wore out in few
years by injurious culture. This destruc-
ton of soil resulted partly from the want
Insufficient cleared lands, to adopt a sy stem
of rotation in crops, and partly from the
fact that it was cheaper to clear up new
lands than to restore those that were
worn. Nor were the farmers oblivious to
the charmes of hunters life. Frequently
we would see the rifle taken from its rack
at early dawn, and ere breakfast the man
would return with the savory deer or
turkey, or both, to regale his family or
neiGhbors, and when autumn came il was
no unusual thing to lay up store OF
vcnison for the ensuing year. A fresh
bear track produced as much excitement
in Il whole neighborhood as would the
cry Of Indians; the implements Of hus-
bandry fell to the ground, tie gun was
shouldered, and every one Joined in the
chase. until Bruin was slain and his car

Thrifty farmers soon acquired large
herds of cattle. horses and swine, which
required little care, save marking, hand
ling, and gentling with salt and corn; all
doing well through the summer on the
wild pea,vine, good substitute for clover,
aid fattening in winter on the cane-
brakes and mast.
The genuine hunter, so long as he tar

game, fingered in this county longer than

How many of our opinions are influ-
enced by early bias how few of US can
claim that we are free from the faint OF
prejudice 1t is the enemy Of truth, the
chief obstacle to science and philosophy;
the foe of reason. 1t is veil which
clouds PERCEPTION, moral narcotic
which Supplies conscience. 1t blinds
judges, and defeats the administration OF
Justice. 1t is the parent of intolerance
and bigotry. 1t enables unprincipled
men to rise to dangerous eminence, and
is the most essential and potent bulwark
of oppression in every land. Its eradi-
cation cannot be too early or earnestly
sought by those who would inculate
sound economic principles among the
masses.

The suicide of u certain Lord Mum
ster after the Southern Hotel fire, at ST
Louis will be remembered. A story now
comes that his ghost haunts the place.
1t is told that one ofthe rollicking friends
Of Munster setting in the room where the
deceased met his death, was startled by
the entrance Of a man. lie looked up
and recognized Munster, clad as when be
died. The ghost looked at him, appeared
offended that he did not speak, and passed
out as quietly as he had entered. The oc-
cupant Of the room didn'tlike ghosts, and
didn't occupy that room any more. He
drove out great deal, though, and one
day, driving alone, was suddenly aware
that Munster was beside him. He drove
iuriously to the next stopping place
jumped out, and the figure vanished at
the same moment.

A Chinese Giant.

A veritable giant is on exhibition il
Sacramento, California, between Third
and Fourth street. The giant is a good.
natured and rather dignified Chinaman,
who has donned Mandarin's costume
and sits in a chair large enough for a
summer house. He is the most massive
man ever seen in this city. A large
handed man cannot eneircle his wrist
With one hand, and Two Of the giants fin
gers make an ordinary hand stretch to
encircle them. A man five feet, eight
inches can stand erect under his OUT
stretched arms and rot touch it with
bis head Ordinary men have to tilt
their hats aud look upward to his face.
He stands seven feet nine inches high,
and claims that he weighs Alp pounds.
He is finely proportional, not at all
corpulent-is, indeed, hard muscled and
compact in frame, and moves with the
ease Of ordinary men.

The Republican party press, with but
one or two exceptions, are bowling for a
great standing army. They point to the
strike of the past ten days as an evil
dence Of the imperative necessity fol
such an army. They have one aud all
become committed to the destructive and
ruinous policy Of contraction, and now
when they see the great dangers that are
the natural result OF their own policy
they demand great standing army, with
which they will be able to force their
measures ON the people of the whole
country at the point of the bayonet, just
as they have forced carpet-bag govern
ment and thousand other iniquities on
the Southern States during the past ten
years. Lexington Press.

The MiIkmen of Naples

must tell you about the Neapolitan
milkmen, for they are funny fellows.
They do not have a milk-wagon and horse
as our mildmen have, or even a pail or
dipper They have only three legged
stools tied to themselves $50 that when
they want to sit down they are all ready,
and they drive their cows and goats be-
fore them TO the different houses, and
milk them at the door in bowl provid-
ed 10y each customer. No chance OF
watered milk there you see.
That is not the queerest part of it,
though. AS have said, Italian houses
are very high-fve, six, and seven stories
often, with a different family on each
floor. Even the paLa=-Os (palaces) of the
rich are divided in this way. To the
first floor mot the ground noor) there are
sometimes from eighty to one hundred
marble steps leading up. On this step a
duke may live; on the next above, some
one lower in rank, till it would not be
impossible that the dukes laundress
might live in the seventh story of his
palazzo These uPpermost families usual
ly take goats milk, because the goat can
go up stairs, even to the tow floor, and be

Part of little Paolo's pleasure vas in
patting the goat that came up to his
grandmother's door, rubbing its little
nose, and giving it roasted chestnuts tc

turn and skip down the stairs so briskly
that the milkman could not begin to keeT
up with it.-[St Nicholas for August.

Those Chinese immigrants who, on
landing from the steamer at San Fran>
cisco the other day, had to be escorted
to the Chinese quarter of the city by a
strong body of police, to keep them from
being devoured by hoodlums, must have
felt that this asylum for the oppressed
of all nations" this "boasted land Of
liberty" this free hearts only home,
was fraud. They will surprise their
countrymen at home with the intelligence
that while we welcome the people of all
other nations to our shores with open
arms, we welcome them with firearms.
