THE LOCAL DEPARTMENT
Will be, more than ever, the special feature
Of the paper.
THE POLITICS OF THE APPEAL
Win be, as always,
And the editor anticipates with pleasure the
probability that in supporting the next Re
publican candidate for the Presidency, he
viii support
GENERAL GRANT IN 1870.
Meantime the APPEAL will nail the Old Flag
to the mast, and neither surrender to the
Adherents of the Lost Cause,
Nor give its support to a policy which
Demolished the Republican Party of
she South,
And sought to
HandeuR It I'm the North.
In short, the MORNING APPEAL will keep
on an even keel and stand by the friends of
Republican principles, Republican usage and
tho Republican leaders of tried courage and
ability.
But the APPEAL will be especially valuable
ADVERTISING MEDIUM,
Because of its greatly enlarged circulation.
Also it will be, as heretofore, a carefully
conducted
FAMILY JOURNAL.

The Weather,

A Kentucky weather prophet
says that we are to have an
unusually severe winter, the lat,
ter end Of it especially hard. Ac-
cording to this meteorological
authority. December was to be
ushered in by a spell Of cold
weather which would not last
long, and a pleasant Christmas
was predicted. The New Year is
to be welcomed by bright weather
which will be of brief duration.
Intense cold will set in before the
middle of January, which will
last until March-the most severe
weather we have had for years.
Snow is to fall in the lap Of
spring, and March will get her
skirts wet. The Kentucky people
are advised to lay in a good stock
of fuel, food and warm clothes.

George Washington when quite
young, was about to go to sea as
a midshipman ; everything was
arranged, the vessel lay opposite
his fathers house, the little boat
had come ashore to take him off,
and his whole heart was bent on
going. After his trunk had been
carried down to the boat, he went
to bid his mother farewell, and
saw tears bursting from her eyes.
However, he said nothing to her;
but feeling that she would be dis
tressed if he went, and perhaps
never be happy again, he turned
around to the servant and said !:
Go and tell them to fetch my
trunk back. l will not go away
to break my mothers heart" His
mother was struck with his decis-
ion, and she said to him, George,
God has promised to bless child
rem that honor their parents, and
| believe He will bless you"

One calm summers eve, ny gal
Went out to take a stroll; +:

Around her waist I put my arm
It felt as soft as cake.

You printers take!"

the means to develop them we've.
for the most parts, lacking. Man.
nfactories sprang up all over the
country ; but where chemica
agents were necessary o-the per-
lection of their work, that work
was left unprotected. Confederate
cotton.clolh, as already stated, was
sent forth from the factory in its
natural unbIeached tint. Con-
federate paper was inferior in
color and texture to the brown
wrapping paper commonly Used
in dry goods stores to. day. The
Georgia wooden mills produced
army cloths and blankets of good
quality, but wool was wofully
scarce, and the cloth sold for tive
or three hundred dollars a yard.
Cow hair was carefully saved
from the tanneries and, mixed
with cotton; was spun and woven
into garments which, if coarse,
were at least thick and warm.
The highest ladies in the land did
not disdain to wear homespun.
The wash popIains of to-day sold
in all Cry. goods stores at from
ten to fifteen cents a yard, closely
resembles the homespun dresses of
Southern women we're then
50 proud.

When the present printing law

ade. .
The Southern Coufederacy was
a country without neighbors a
pugilist without hackers. History
furnishes no instance Of a more
effective blockade. Landward,
except where Mexican robbers
and Indians held the frontier, Law
the country Of the foe, and sea-
ward, within hail of each other,
from Virginia to Texas, the
vessels Of the United States Navy
shut in the besieged States from
the world, and shut the world out
fromihem. The men who ran the
blockade risked life and liberty !:
for this risk they demanded large
profits on the goods which they
brought. The war produced its
natural crop Of extoriioners. Af.
ter the reputation in 1863, of
one-third Of the Confederate debt,
few people had faith in the cur
rency. Those who held it spent it
n
freely, anxious to exchange for
something Of more tangible value.
No one who could afford t.. let
capital remain idle was mxious
to sell merchandise which every
day increased in market value.
Thus imitation bore its legitimate
fruits, and the rare spectacle was
presented Of purchasers axious to
buy, while merchants were 10th
10 sell.
For four years the Southern
State were shut up to their own
resources. These resources. though
immense. were undevelopcd, and,
