SOME years ago William II. Richardson
and Granville Smith, of Lexington, Ken
lucky, Endorsed for the late William T.
Hughes, also Of that city. Hughes failed
and dragged down with him both of his in
dorsers. As he started TO leave the country
however, he was killed by Smith, who then
committed suicide. Mr.. Richardson has
struggled bravely to stem the tide of misfor-
tune, but matters grew worse every day.
Finally he concluded to make an assignment,
and Friday had the papers drawn up. He
seemed much depressed, and became too
nervous for the work. at five o'clock in the
afternoon he committed suicide by shooting
himself through the head. He was genial,
pleasant man, well known throughout the
country. He was one of the greatest short
horn men of all the blue grass region, and
was honorable and reliable in business and
social life.

0ueen Esther.

IF. c. Sparhawk in the Galaxy for January
The story of Esther differs in one IMPORT
ant regard from nearly all the other nara
tons of the Old Testament. What is else
where the prominent point-namely, the
assertion OF the direct interpOsition of divine
power to accomplish the proposed ends
here wanting, and it is left TO the events
alone to indicate the Jewish faith in the di-
vine favor for this peculiar people. So
entirely is this the case that IN the whole
account of the deliverance of the Israelites
from that fatal massacre there is not even any
mention of their Mighty Deliverer; we find no
assertion that the strong arm of their God
once again rolled back from His people the
waves of the red sea of blood which threat
ened to overwhelm them. The drunken
within Of monarch, the beauty and courage
of a maiden, the overweening arrogance OF
a courtier, and the loyalty of Jewish exile
grow in this story into grand proportions,
and involve the fate OF nation.
The romance of the story of Esther touches
the heart, for the weary world, suffering
from the usurpations and expressions of
wicked men, rejoices in every example OF
what is called poetic justice, and exults TO
see plotter caught in the snares that he
himself has spread.

GENERAL Fremont was sued few months
ego by United States District Attorney
Woodford for $1,000. 1t was alleged that
this amount was his indebtedness for pay
and allowances allowed him from the time
of his commission, instead of only for the
time he went into service. In turn the
general has filed counter claim against the
government for 5000, which he states is
due him for services rendered in purchasing
arms in Europe and in the organization and
disposition of troops in Missouri.

backs and silver to be made a legal tender in
payment of all debts, public and private, with

The bondholder to be paid no more than the
contract and to share equally the burdens of

The SENTINEL is especially devoted to the
interest of the industrial classes, and every
reading and thinking man IL the state, who
can afford to take newspaper, without regard
to party politics, ought to subscribe for atleast
one of its editions.

feet wide through the center north and

there 10 no reason left for proprietor oi
