4 PROMISING KENTUCKY INDUSTRY.

The readiness Of the average citizen Of Ken
lucky to enter the public service has become
almost proverb. There was short time,
to be sure, in 1861, when the Governor
of the State. assuming to speak for
the whole people, declined a somewhat
urgent call; but that was a call from
the War Department, and the reason given
for refusing to respond was that Kentucky
would " furnish no troops for the wicked pur-
"pose of subduing ber sister Southern
"Statesr Since tho close of the war.
however, the old Willingness to serve
the public has rcappeared, and in no
sense has it been more cordial and hearty.
There was marked exhibition of 1t at the
opening of the first Congress in which the
Democrats had majority. At the first
announcement of the fact of Demo-
cratic majority, Kentucky lifted It's face east
ward and sped toward Washington. 1t is es-
timated that at the opening OF the session there
were enough Kentuckisns at the capital to
man every department of the Civil Service
and furnish one sergeant-at-arms and an assist
ant for each cuspdor in use in the public
buildings. Many rushed in barefooted and with
n single suspender, and there were groceries
upon groceries, all over the State, left
dry and arid, that had been kept,
ever since the war, in state of
perpetual irrigation by the expectorations of
natriots who discharged craftsmanship and
tobacco Juice with equal copi0usness and
fluency. Many of them found coDgenial places
in the Congressional Library. the Clerks and
other departments. Some took slow poison
ot the public bars, and some footed it home
again, cursing Henry WatteTson. whom they
CHARGED with being the Peter the Hermit
of that crusade. The same thing happened
yhcr the Democrats came into control IN the
Senate. The public service has no vacancy
that does not strike waiting Kentuckian the
moment it falls in. At two things the State
of Kentucky rises promptly to- its feet and
wlpes its mouth on its sleeve. One is tho in
oriry "Whatn you drink ~ and the other the
announcement of an official death, resignation
or removal, or a change of administration.
Nor is this Willingness to serve the pub
lie confined to the Civil Service OF the
General Government. They seem to be
equally ready to serve their own State. The
recent message of Governor Blackburn makes
mentiou OF this characteristic of the people,
and in that relation describes some OF the
practices i'll vogue among them, which not
only show uncommon readiness to enter
the service of the State but exhibit also great
ingenuity and enterprise in making and secur-
ing the opportunities. For instance, the Gov
ernor quotes from the report of a Grand Jury
of Floyd County finding concerning
one of the industries prosecuted in that
section. which is interesting as show
ing the prevailing habit of citizens touch
ing public affairs. The Grand Jury say " An
officer will get two men to engage In a
" friendly fight, in which n rock or some
"weapon will be used so as to make scratch
causing slight blood or wound. The party

The legal-tender cases SO that they may have an

The Chief-Justice, in stating the decision of

questions until they could be heard by full
bench. In view of the dissatisfaction which fol-

rHE NLBLO LLRRARK.

Last week the legacy bequeathed to the
Young Mems Christian Association by the late
William Niblo was paid over to Dir. Robert
Hoe. ir.. as trust e under tho will. 1t is to
be applied. as our readers will remember to
the enlargement of the library, already en-
riched by Mr.. Niblo in his lifetime with many
valuable gl0. The bequest, being the re-
siduum OF the estate. turns out TO be much
larger than it was originally supposed to be,
amounting in fact to the handsome sum OF
$3.50. 600 and there has been some little
hesitation in deciding how so considerable
legacy can be most usefully expended. Inc
shelves of the Association now contain about
1900 volumes, and there Is no room IN
the present quarters for extensive additions.
Moreover. the building is not ire-prooi, and
the only apartments on the premises which
can he set apart for books are SO iDcon-
yeniently situated, as well as SO contracted,
that they are not TO be thought OF in con-
ncction with n great free library.
Mr.. Hoe, 10 whose discretion the will COM
mits the whole matter. has Judged wisely we
think. in resolving to Use only the income OF
the Nibo fund for the present In keeping up
the existing collection and adding TO 1t the
most notable publications of the dayj hoping
that before long the means will be found of
erecting proper bull1ing. Mr.. Niblo's mu-
nlficent gift lays the foundation of q noble
and most important institution. and its pros
pcctive value to the public is so great
that the utmost care ought to be exer-
clsed in laying out the plans on an appropri-
ately liberal scale. Tho scheme goes far be-
yond the primitive design of furnishing merely
room full of books as one of the attractions
of an association for general improvement it
now contemplates what will he TO all intents
and purposes free popular library of the
highest class. The Astor and Lenox Libra
ries are Invaluable stOre-houses Of informa-
ton for students and the learned. New York
needs also an institution of a somewhat differ
ent order for the use of the peoples and the
Young Mems Christian Association appears to
be now in situation to supply it.
For this purpose little is needed. since the
realization of the Nblo bequest, except suit
able building; and we shall be surprised if
the required funds are not soon obtained, either
by Organized effort on the part of the assocl-
alton, or 10y the generosity Of some rich emu
lator of Mr.. Niblo.
