The Outlaws of Carter County, Kentucky

There are about nine times eleven of
these Underwoods, from gray-haired
men to STRIPPING youths, who have for
years past been terror to Carter and
adjoining counties. They defy the au-
thorities and go about loaded down
with knives and pistols. They are
large hardy men, they know not what
fear is and will shoot or cut on the
slightest provocation. During the war
theyi adhered to the Union side and
their vengeance upon rebels was quick
and terrible. John Morgan's band
passed through that region and left
more than hundred of their number
in the mountains. The country is of
the toughest kind, hills and hollows,
deep, tangled underbrush, traversed in
all directions b. paths which are famil-
lar to the outlaws. Their haunts are
numerous and extend over vast Sec
tion of country. 1t will, perhaps, re-
Quire force double their own to rout
them out and break up the band. The
Covington militia, which has gone to
punish these men, numbered twenty
seven, all told. If this is all the force
that is to attempt the capture of the
outlaws they will be cut to pieces in no
time. While the company was drawn
up in line on the levee, waiting for en-
barkation on the Potomac L approached
the line and inquired of one of the
soldiers the occasion of the turnout.
'sWe are going to Carter county," he
said; 1--WE are private citizens on a
tear" When I afterwards learned the
object of the expedition, l confess to an
apprehension that the ''tear" would
be serious one for the boys unless
they are backed by a strong fighting
force. Cincinnati Commercial.

The Foe of Pain.

The friend of suffering humanity-the
enemy of disease, and the salration OF
the patient brute, is MEXICAN Mus
TANG LINDIENT. There is no sore ii
will not heal, no ache or pain it will
not Danish. For accidents in the fam
lily, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts,
etc., it has no rival. 1t has saved
more human lives, and restored more
horses, oxen and other cattle, to useful
ness and profit, than all other liniments
put together. mayer -d3tawaw6m

ON the snaculafinn2

buys it back for S45, and then sells it
to G for S65, how much does A make
on the speculation?
The Sun took in the bait without a
moments hesitation, and in its lofty
way replied that of course, 'swhen A
buys his cotton back for S5 less than
he had sold it for, he makes just S5 by
that transaction; and when he sells it
again for $50 more than he had bought
it back for, he makes just $40 by so
doing and $5 and $40 makes exactly
S25." Instantly the people who lie in
wait for such things took up the ques-
ton, and yesterday the Sun was COM
PEELED to print about column of COM
munications on the subject, each writer
seeming to be more hopelessly confused
than the others. Letters are also
beginning to drop in upon the Times,
one correspondent insisting that the
lucky cotton man made seventy dollars
by his speculation, while others, who
give the right answer, get at it by most
extraordinary calculations. The
''catch,n in this question is in the in
PRODUCTION of the idea of buying cotton
back" which suggests an extra profit
somewhere of So, whereas the transac-
tion would be precisely the same if we
described it in this way: A, having
sold some goods for $50, buys bale OF
cotton for S45 and sells it for S65; how
much does he make? Obviously $50.
The first sale is no part of this specula-
tion, and the five dollars which remain
ed unemployed is simply part of his
capital, not of his profit. He starts
with $50, or bale of cotton that re-
presents $50. He comes out with $40
So remaining after the purchase of the
cotton and S65 received from C. He
makes just 800 and no more. The Sun,
we regret to say, blundered badly. A
man does not ''make" when he buys;
the profit comes by the sale.

He answered "Joseph Bradley"
Upon the bench he took his place,
Judge of court that's fai len sadly;
And he, regardless of disgrace,
Reversed the Legal Tender case,
Dened the reasoning of Chase,
Aud earned his fee-did Bradley.
When all the rogues who feared their fate
Conspired to cheat the country madsy
A .awless law they did create,
And rushed it through without debate,
Then shook their dice -box-Seven to Eight
And 10 4! the Eighth was Bradley.
When Forida's weak case came out
The work of Fraud was done so badly,
The eighth man turned his head about,
'The State is Tilden's without doubt,
And Hayes pretenses here 1 scout"
Thus spake the downright Bradley.
Aasels with him that liEht abode,
The willing Judge received them gladly;
In seventeen carriages they rode.
Their faces in the dim light glowed
And visions various they showed

With mind and conscience ratified badly
