Which One1

A certain Turk, according to Mr..
Frank r. Stockton, was once married
to "A yelled lady in white, i'm the pres
ence of the Sultan. As soon as the GER
emony concluded, the bride mysterious
ly disappeared. The groom was led in
to an adjoining room. where stood IL
ladies, all dressed in white, but without
wells. CHOOSE from the twelve" ex
claimed the sovereign, cher that is
your BRIDE" As the man had never
seen her face, the command bewildered
him. "If you make mistake" added
his majesty, "your life shall pay the
foIfeit." The poor fellow walked up
and down the row of beauties, but saw
nothing whatever to aid his choice.
you have only minute left," yelled
the Sultan, in anger; "choose at once"
Two of the ladies, he noticed, gave him
something pleasanter than a stony
stare. One of them frowned; the other
smiled. "The frowning one," thought
he, us my bride, for she expresses her
displeasure and Impotence at my lg-
norance. mo-" he said to himself
again, "it must be the smiling one. for
she desires to invite me to her." After
debating the subject in his mind until
his time WAS up, he boldly made a Sc
lection from the two. He was success
full. He had regained his bride. Which
was she-the one who frowned or the
one who smiled? The answer to the
question Mr.. Stockton leaves i'm inn
penetrable mystery.

The Value of Civility.


Life is made up of little things, and
the neglect of small courtesies of life is
the foundation of misery in married
existence is the cause of waning friend
ships, and the destruction of the hap
pest of homes. Many "a serious and
lifelong arrangement has begun, not
from want of affection SO much as
from lack of that delicate and instinct
i've appreciation of the feelings of others
which makes person shrink from
saying unpleasant things or finding
fault, unless absolutely obliged, and in
any case to avoid wounding the Offend
er's sense of dignity, or stirring up
within him feelings of opposition and
luminosity. Many persons profess to
be above taking offense at honest Gems
ure, and even seem to court criticism,
yet it must be very carefully adminis-
tered, not to be unpalatable. Even
kind and generous actions are often SO
uncouthly performed AS to cause more
pain than pleasure, while reproof or
denial may be 50 sweetened by courtesy
as also do away with any sense of NOR
tification or disappointment. Good
breeding Is always inclined to form a
favorable judgment, and to give others
the credit OF being actuated by worthy
motives

Outdoor Life for Women


The redemption of women's health, !
am more and more convinced, depends
on their taking to outdoor life and ac-
tivities. Reading high class memoirs,
which are in every ones hands now
adays. of the Carlyles, the Sterlings and
p. ID. Maurice, one is distressed to hear
the continued story of weak health, and
women who, brought face to face with
the realities of life, immediately droop,
languish and are long time dying. II
they have house to keep and share
of the actual work, like Mrs. Carlyle at
Craigenputtock aud Chelsea, they sick
en- mysteriously aud their life Is IA time
of wrestling with household affairs, al
ternating with refuge on the sofa, or
months in the Doctors hands, in that
wretched, unimproyed state which JUS
titled the sigh of much tried husband
who "wished his wife would get better,
or something's Have | not, through
the ignorance of my day and genera
ton. wasted life enough i'm attacks of
the familiar household demon-nervous
prostration, which only vanishes on
turning the patient out of doors. Time
and again, friends have looked plying
ly upon me AS good rs gone, but taken
out of doors ten hours II day, AS good
for nothing else, sun and wind wrought
their spell of healing, and health came
again. Henceforth no more indoor life
than must be for me, aud would urge
other women to fashion their lives so as
to spend them more in the open air.

Choice of Occupation.

l'NiNhAib'
Much is said in writings for youth"
as to the Importance of choosing such
an occupation for life as natures inclI-
nations appear to favor; aud in some
Instances resort has been made to pro-
fessional head and face readers to indi-
cate the line to which the uniformed
mind should be directed But it is often
the fact that zen thinking and sensi-
BILE boy is unaware Of any decisive
"calP' To particular pursuit. Much
of this INDIGESTION probably comes from
the fact that call for "A choice occurs at
about the time in years and develop
ment when the subject is untitled to
make chOice-"not man, nor a hoy,
but hobbledehov," as an old saw has
it.
Ii Is foolish to "stTike out" "map
OUT, or "arrange" for "A boys future
calling by means of his expressed desire
at the csllow age; the boy will naturally
gravitate to his proper liue-if the cir
cumstances don hinder riff those who
have to deal with him do not interfere.
II is not difficult to ascertain II there
il a "bent' in the boys inclination.
IL il is decided, then the influences and
circumstances should be brought to bear
i'm that direction. But it is best to start.
Many make mistakes because they
did not understand, and sometimes
these early mistakes extend through the
lifetime; but Burritt was fair black
smith, Collyer was good one, Lincoln
was good rail splitter, and Johnson
was tailor. IL would be assumptive
to say that the course of these men
would have been better if at the begin
ming they had become l:nguists,
preachers, statesmen, and presidents.
Perhaps it was better that they were
what they were at the beginning.
A friend of ours was to be an artist if
he could have governed circumstances;
he became n machinist and mechanical
engineer because it was in his way.
Certainly he had done more useful
work as a mechanic than he ever could
Lave done "a an artist.
III there is any moral to facts, as to
fables, it might be that the best thing
an ambitious young man eal do is to
do the first thing that comes to him
the first thing he can reach by going
for it--and watch and wait opportun-
tiles for better things.

The presence of army worms is re
ported from several sections Of the
county, but nowhere are they more nu-
merous probably than i'm a meadow ON
MIR. Jesse Morelsnd's place, on the
Henderson road. They can only be-
reckoned by the million. The meadow
which contained fine crop of timothy,
is completely devastated, and the
worms are now moving across the road
to the north side. All day yesterday
the people on that side were engaged in
ditching to prevent their further pro-
gress. The bitches are filled with lime
water, which seems to be the only ef
feetual barrier to the pests. The crop
of rye ON the fairgrounds has also been
virtually harvested in advance by the
worms. though they are not so numer.
Gus as at the first place named. Mr..
A Morrison, who has fine crop OF
wheat back Of the fair grounds, is ditch
ing manfully to save it. A negro in
the same vicinity has had four acres OF
young corn destroyed and Is now re-
planting. In the FORKS of the creek
the worms are said to be very had, also.
The country is also full of locusts, W hich
are very destructive ON crops.

How Countsrfsitsrs Work.

A counterfeiter in the first place he
takes smooth steel plate, being care
full to have it free from scratches. Then
he takes a certain kind Of gum which
is perfectly clear and transparent aud
spreads ii ON the plate. A bill is then
split and one side laid in the gum.
When the paper is removed a perfect
impression remains IN the gum. The
counterfeiter then traces the drawing
ON the steel, removes the gum and
finishes the engraving. He then goes
through the same operation with the
other side of the bill. Ii is clever work
to split n bill, tut these fellows know
how and do it easily. Most any paper
can be split. A sheet of common
writing paper can be split two or three
times. Doodle men frequently split
bills. They take ten dollar hill, split
ii, and so make so. if IA person doesn't
look on the other side.

Echoes From The Pulpit.

On Sunday, May II, two Of the
widest known, and Brooklyn's most
celebrated diyines made the following
remarks during their morning dis
courses:
Mr.. Beecher said al shall not be
with you many more Of the fast-going
years. Steadily for more than fifty
years | have been under the influence
Of the great doctrine of evolution. In
my early preaching | discerned that
the sHrit of true religion was represent
ell by the leaven of the mustard seed.
Then found that science had larger
view, and that this was only one appli-
cation of IA great doctrine. Now there
is not an educated man under fifty
years vino is not substantially an evo-
lutionist. The application of the fruits
of evolution to all forms of doctrine
this will be the closing work of my
life. | propose to discuss che questions
Of the Divine nature, human sin, tine
atOnement, from the standpoint of evo-
luton, and the light that falls from
that philosophy. wish could write
it out, but am beyond that"
Mr.. Talmage said from his pulpit
There sprang in Yus atan, on this con
tiuent, an herb that has spread
throughout the world. In the fifteenth
century it crossed the Atlantic. and
captured Spain and afterward Portugal.
Then the French ambassador took it to
Paris, and captured the French empire,
and Walter Raleigh took il to London,
and captured Great Britain. Nicotiana
is the name ascribed to that herb by
botanists, but we all know ii as the
exhilarating. elevatiDg, paradising,
nsrve SCATTERING, dyspepsia breeding,
health destroying tobacco. He could
name at least five ministers whom he
had known to die from cancer brought
ON from the use of tobacco. Over

might with truth be written, Here lies

Garnishment of Wages.


The law in reference to the garlish-
ment does not seem to be underston ny
"A majority of the people, and We ave
great number of inquiries in refer
ence To them. In order to make it
plain, we publish herewith the law and
full explanations in reference to what
empts:
al. The wages, not to exceed fifty
dollars. of all persons who work for
wages, shall, if such person have "A
family, be exempt, from attachment
punishment or fee bill. Pro-
vided, That the exemption of
fifty dollars shall not apply to the debts
contracted for food, raiment or house
rent for the family. Sec. Z, p. 4S2, and
sec. |, p, 6S5, General Statutes.
This law, as well as the exemption
law and the law of limitation, is made
for the protection of those who wish to
avail themselves of its benefits. Ii a
man be sued, or his property he at
tached, or his wages be garnished for
any debt, judgment will be given
against him for the amount aud costs
unless he shall claim the benefit of the
law, which he has right To do if he
wants to, and must do if he expects to
get the benefit of the exemption.
Many complain that their wages are
attached for various things and the
courts decide against them. This Is
because they do not plead the law.
|. The wages of all men with fam
lily can be legally garnished for dol
lar or any other sum if 1t is for rent for
the family.
,. IL it is for clothing that's, caps,
boots, shoes. &c.
3. IL ii is for provisions necessary for
the family Use.
4. Single men have no protection or
benefits under this law.
3. A party may legally gurnishee for
uncooked meat or vegetables, but can

ry to cook the articles before they can
be eaten.
6. Druggists and physicians, though
they furnish medicines or service tn
save life, can not make a punishment
hold if pleaded.
Z. Furniture dealers, hardware men,
and all Others not exempted in sections
2 and 3, above shown. can not collect
by garnisment II pleaded.
s. Saloons, coffee-houses, cigars, con.
dictionaries, and all goods deemed lux.
uries, can not be collected by garnish-
ment if pleaded.
8. If a party has over $50 due at the
time of serving of punishment, al
over that amount can be legally gar.
nished and made liable for any kind OF

State Politics and County Affairs

Editor Herdbt:
Although | do not desire to appear
given to a spirit of captiOusness-most
especially as regards the Democratic
party-yet, in view of the recent at
tempts to force convict labor in conflict
and competition with free labor. and
the present deplorable condition of the
State Treasury, 1 would ask, What has
recent Democratic Administration in
Kentucky done To merit the continued
confidence of honest, right thinking,
intelligent voters?
After complete survey Of all the
puerilities of legislation and of execu-
tive shortcomings, does ii not appear
To every one, unless il be blinded and
bigoted partisan. that We're the domi-
nant party overthrown at the next
general election of State officers and
placed in the legislative minority at
the Capitol. it might, for a short period
at least, be IA good thing for the tax
payers?
Instead of vaulting into national
politics, berating Republicans, ridicul-
ing Greenbackers and finding fault
with President Cleveland's appoint
ments, would il not be far better for us
to turn our attention to State and
county affairs, i'm which we are more
vitality concerned?
We want the honest labOrer and tax
payer protected, need lighter taxation,
must have less special and more general
and necessary legislation, greater eeon-
Omy, less legislative imbecility and
administrative arrogance
There are a great many things that
ought not to be, and some things that
could be made better. Our school sys-
tenn is defective, our road laws bad. our
exemption laws are execrable. For
instance, man with good homestead
and considerable amount in personal
property, is exempt from execution for
debt while the poor, homeless, house,
ICES anu iobticoc ichttii tchdut w CioD-
per, who can barely keep soul and
body together" is subject to haye his
whole crop Of tobacco levied on to sat
isfy all execution This works ha-d-
ship on this class, and is on its very
face an Injustice and matter Of civil
inequality, smackiDg largely Of priv
LEGGED and class legislation. In fact,
it simply Furnishes all "poor devils
who have no real-estate or personal
property, and are dependent on a
tobacco crop for the principal amount
of their food and clothing, because they
have not land and personal property
like some Others ! This is exactly the
size of il.
Down with such classism and up with
Republicanism, Greenbackism, Social
ism Tor anything else) in preference to
this system of pauperizstion of the
many who are continually haunted
with the fear of "the wolf at the door ?"
Let's purify State politics. improve
county affairs and bring about retrench-
ment and reform by electIng none but
honest, capable and conscientious men

tration Of State and county affairs.
