Our subscribers have not had their
supply of news cut off during the
holidays. We have worked as usual
while everybody else was enjoying
himself and resting from the cares of
business. We feel that we have re-
deemed our pledge, made at the be-
ginning of the ear, to give the peo-
pie the best newspaper ever published
in llopkinsville. We have worked
harder to merit the good will of the
public, and to make our journal
worthy of support, than ever before.
And now at the end of a year of toll
we ask You again to give us a help
ing hand. If you are a patron now,
continue so. If you have borrowed
the paper from your neighbor, send

10 the SOUTH KENTUCKIAN, give it a
fair trial--a year, six or three
months and if you do not like the

it only for cash, and thrust it upon
no one after his time is out. With
these few remarks we wind up the
sixth volume and announce ourselves
as candidates for public favor during
the year 1885. With the coming vol.
ume we will complete our seven
years of servitude in the interest Of
the city of Hopkinsville, the county
of Christian and the people Of south
western Kentucky. If the people
show a proper appreciation of oul
efforts, we may find it necessary by
another year to again increase tn,
frequency Of the Sou THKENTUCKIAN'
visits to its friends.

In France pearl costing $16 is now

the genuine article to any one not q

pearl, however, is simply glass bead
or globe which is first coated on the in
side with glue made of parchment,
then treated with a peculiar so-called
essence" after which it is filed with
wax. The essence is the chief pearly
ingredient, and is obtained by rubbing
together whitefsh, so as to remove the
scales; the whole is then strained
through linen, and left to deposit its
sediment, which is the essence inques-

OLE BULLS YIOLIN.

Gaspar do Salo, the only violin maker
who can be called the equal of Joseph
Gauderius, lived and worked at the COM
mencement of the sixteenth century. lie
made violin with so much care, and
was himself so well satisfied with his
work, that he desired Benvenuto Cellini
to carve the neck. The head of the in
strument is formed by lovely cherub's
face, which is supported by a smaller
head and bust of maiden, the features
being of exquisite workmanship. The
rest of the neck is most beautifully cut
and gilded, and the colors are clear and
bright, though they are now over 300
years old, as the INSTRUMENT was made
in 1882 The wood from which Gaspar
da Salo chose his material grew on the
mountains between Brescia and Verona,
where it was so finely developed by the
even temperature prevailing there that
the veins of the wood are exactly an even
distance apart.
The mountains of Brescia are entirely
denuded of trees. IT is impossible to
find such wood elsewhere, and the in
shuments of this master are unique in
this respect, and cannot be initiated.
Cardinal Andebrandini bought Casper
ia Salo's and Benvenuto Cellinis violin
fora 1000 ducats, and presented it to the
Treasury OF Innspruck, from which it
got its name of the "Treasury violin"
which it has since retaired. When Inn
spruck was invaded by the French in
1903 it came into the possession of sol
lier, who gave it over to Rhaczek for the
insignificant sum of 400 gulden. In
1889 Ole Bull visited Rhaczek, saw the
violin, and bid all he possessed for the
instrument, offering, as well, the pro.
ceeds of the concerts he was then giving
in Vienna. "Give me the fourth of Vi
emma, and then we will see," was Rhac.
zek's reply, But he promised the artist
if he ever parted with it he should have
the preference.
Two years later, in Leipsic, Liszt and
Mendelssohn were dining with Ole Bull,
and while they We're sitting at a table
the servant brought in an envelope bear
ing great seal, which the host put one
side. "Open your letter." cried List,
"it has large seal, and may be i'm
portant." 1t proved to be from the sol
of Rhaczek, and impaired the news Of
his fathers death; and that ga clause of
his will directed that the Treasury violin
should be sent to Ole Bull" The de-
lighted artist told the good news to his
friends. "What wonderful violin it
must be to cost so much money!" said
Mendelssohn. eve must play the
'Kreutzer Sonata" together the first time
you use it in public" When the instru-
nent came it was found that there was
no bur in it, and it had, therefore, never
been played upon. AS soon as possible it
was put in order, and, as Mendelssohn
had suggested, it was consecrated to art
by the playing of Beethoven's Sonata

With this number the sixth volume
of the SOUTH KENTUCKl AN is finished.
During the last fourteen months the
paper has been issued semi-weekly.
AS will be seen from the number, we
we have published los papers this
year, for the low price of $500. The
SOUTH KENTUCKIAN is the cheapest
paper in the state, at the price. We
are gratified to state that our semi
weekly has met with an encourage
ing patronage during the current
year and an evidence of the apprecia-
ton of its readers is the fact that
very few subscribers fail to renew
their allegiance, while many new
names are being added to our list.
The people are gradually realizing
the superior advantages of two pa
pers week at the price of one. We
will use every endeavor to make the
paper still better next year and we
confidently expect an increased pa
tronage. We began the semi-weekly
somewhat as an experiment and
while many have sustained us in
our undertaking, others ghavc not
shown adisposition to encourage a
