WE surrender good deal Of oui
space this week to Squire NC. Port
man, the reby causing several articles
to he left out; but our readers vii
find enough humor and romance IL
the 'Squire's letter and enough Of sterr
and solemn facts in our reply,to caus'
them to he worth the perusal.
MARY ANDERSON played "lon' il
New York several nights last week
in which she appears in the garb o
an Argive youth, but the criticismi
of the newspapers caused her to re
turn to the plays which do not require
her to appear as a boy. One paper
remarked that she did not present
that healthy, classical robustness and
dignity of contour that would charac'
ierize the "Nenus Of Milo" il differ
entity attired, and another paper said
that her gifts are not particularly well
adapted to boys parts, as she belonged
to the dcclamatory, not the spectacu'
lar school, and no amount Of artificial
elaboration would help her until
some process for initiating ones neck
and-arms has been perfected. These
Northern papers are jealous of Mary,
and VIC will wager two TO one that
to-day she can show-if she villa
pair of as pretty arms and limbs as
any woman North Of Mason and
Dixon's line She is a native born
Kentuckian, with all that implies,
"and don't you forget it,
+. Y. KLGoRE, for twelve years its
proprietor, has sold his remaining hall
interest in the Glasgow Times to MIR.
Geo. Snoddy who will act as business
manager for the paper hereafter, while
DIR. John ID. Woods will continue to
WELD the pen for the columns he has
made so widely known for their wit
and wisdom. We are not informed as to
Mr.. Kilgore's intentions but we trust
he will soon strike it rich, unless he
has made enough money to retire from
the business.
OwING to the death of his son, Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage did not occupy
his pulpit Sunday, but the Courier
Journal and Cincinnati Enquirer man
aged to "fll up" all the same. lie
was to have preached on The ORA
ma, and this little Providential him
drance ought to show him that he
should not NEEDLE with a subject with
which preachers in general are so per-
versely ignorant
A WOMAN was hanged in New Jer-
sey last Friday, for the murder Of her
husband. Such thing could never
have occurred in Kentucky, where
they clear the bloUdiest murderers just
because they have pretty wives, who
put on a great show Of affection du-
ring the trial. Arnold, for instance,
may thank his stars that his wife knew
SO well how to play the part she did
his case.
WALroN, Of TnE INTERIOR Journal,
finds it hard work to begin the new year
by loving our good old Governor Louis
willie Post
You are mistaken, MIR. O'Sullivan,
it would surprise you to know how
much we do love the dear old man. We
criticise him occasionally only to try to
keep him straight, although we know
that a man in his doiage is not respon-
sible for his acts.
The Danville .ldrOcaie mentions |
that several of its citizens went to
Cincinnati to see Lotia in Grand
Opera during Christmas. We will
not and can not believe that the gay,
risky and frolicsome little Lolita has
in so short a time, since We
saw her, into a stiff and stuck up prima
donna. The AdrocGic is usually cor
rect, but we can't swallow this item.
VIZ WERE a little mistaken last
week. The Act creating the Railroad
Commission does mention a Secretary
but there is no provision for bis pay.
We have letter from Hon j, Fletch-
n Johnston and have been assured by
Col. Rochester that they intend to
nay their Secretary 0ul OF their own
pockets and will make no appeal to
he Legislature.
GIN. WAIEER, Superintendent of
he Census, says that the population
# the United States is not far from
70, 1852, 200, and by a careful eompu-
alton, he has decided that under ia.
iorable circumstances, there will be I
a, 467 900 souls here in 1890. This +
sill be a pretty good size crowd, but ,
here's plenty Of room for them here 1
md elsewhere.
1'nE Patent Office has granted Fades
patent for his plan to take ships up
m stays and carry them across the
sthmus without the trouble Of a ca {
