Correspondence.


A meeting of the College trustees
was held in Garrettsville last week
Wednesday evening, to consider the
new building project. A building COM
mittee of ten, five of whom are trustees
was appointed, and o. o. Atwater was
appointed financial agent.
Miss Lou M. Hall opened new
millinery store April 1st, under most
favorable auspices, If she practices as
much skill and taste in her business
as she has in preparing her place of
business, she will be success. With
two first class milliners in our town,
the ladies in this vicinity will have no
excuse for not donning the latest styles
especially with prices down to the very
bottom (of course we mean bottom
price.)
Prominent fruit growers inform US
that they find occasionally peach bud
not yet frozen beyond redemption, and
that we must draw on New Jersey for
that delicious fruit.
Maple syrup is the lowest in market
that it has been for great many de-
cades, although there has been a very
light flow of sap. We are reliably in
formed that several tons of glucose
have been: shipped into this county
within the past few weeks. There is
also a general remark that maple sugar
is not as good quality this year as
heretofore. Perhaps the last two facts,
or statements, are closely related.
Our election at this Time p. NJ,
has decidedly Republican complex
ion, owing, in great measure, to the
kid element in the Democratic party
entering into an alliance with the Re,
publican kids, on the question of using
the Town Hall for dancing. OF course
the democracy would suffer in this
vicinity, in such an arrangement, es.
pecially when the Republicans are
utterly unable to deliver the goods.

Charles III. was one of the most hard
ly treated exiles Of all the princes that
have striven for q crown. The Scotch
men led him a sorry life of it when they
were taking rare of him awhile in 1861.
On one occasion, when he was canyasss
ing the Scotch Presbyterians for their
vote and interest, lie called, among
other places, at Rev. Mr.. Guthrie's
manse of Stirling. AS he entered the
room, the mistress rose to offer him a
chair, but her husband exclaimed:
.'Stop, my heart! The king is a young
man; he can gel a chair for himself
Charles concealed his anger until he
came into his inheritance, when he
hanged the Rev. Mr.. Guthrie. -Iagle-

Wagner as a BOY.

Wilhelm Richard Wagner was born at
Leipzig, March %, 1918.
When he was nine, he went to school,
where he was the despair of the teacher
who instructed him in music; he paid no
attention to his practicing, but seized
every opportunity Of repeating the mel
odies that he had heard, especially those
of der Freischutz,n which had al
ready kindled his powerful imagination.
Ancient history, mythology, Greek, and
Latin were his favorite studies, but his
heart was really in none of these, for
he had a secret aim which absorbed all
his thoughts and feelings-he was a po-
ct! In his eleventh year, ne won a
prize for the best poem on dead school
mate, and soon after this he translated
the first twelve books of the Odyssey.
He taught himself English, and mme-
diately became so absorbed in Shake
5spoafo THAT ho decided 10 write 4, trag-
edy. For two long years he toiled, and
during this period he contrived to kill
off forty-two people in his drama. He
was forced to relent, however, and to
recall them as ghosts in the last act In
order to have performers enough to
play the parts. Meantime he had left
Dresden, where he had been living, and
entered a school at Leipzig, but he had
SO neglected his studies for musical
composition, that he was put back a
class; this SO discouraged him that he
gave himself entirely to his tragedy.
When he had nearly finished it, he first
heard Beethoyen's music. This had so
strong an influence over him that hesdc-
termined to set his tragedy to music, and
purchased a book on thorough-bass to
prepare himself for his task. So fasci-
mated did he become with the study,
that he determined to be a poet no
longer, but that music should have the
devotion Of his life. When his family
learned Of his tragedy, they were much
troubled, for they felt it vas the cause
of his backwardness at school; but when
they found him to be writing music,
they were in deepair, for they believed
it to be nothing more than q fancy, and
that it might do the boy great harm.
He was not to be discouraged, however,
and composed in secret. But at last he
was placed under the instruction of The
odore Weinlig, a man stepped in the
spirit of Father Bach" who put him
through d six months study OF coun-
terpoint. Now ho learned and loved
Mozart. Prom Buch 10 Wagner, 7 By

Recently a man in the town of Roches-
ter was sent by his father with a load of
wood to sell at Rondout. He was told
not to take less than twenty shillings for
it. ssif he had to throw it off the dock
When he arrived he offered it for sale,
and one man told him he would give him
SO for it. No. said the Rochester YER
dant, II am going to do as pap said. He
said / must not take less than twenty
shillings for it if / had to throw it of the

shillings for it, rather than see you dump
it into the creek The twenty shillings
were paid and the Mombaccus man
went home.-K Kingston Freeman.

The Old, Old Song.

When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan, lad,
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, Lad,
And round the world away;
Young blood must have its course, lad,
And every dog bis day.
When ali the world Is old, lad,
And all the trees are brown
And all the sport is stale, lad.
And all the wheels run down;
Creep home and take your place there,
The srent and manned among;
God grant you find one face there
You loved when all was young.

1t is quite probable that President
Stoddard johnson will, in few days,
issue a call for meeting of the State
Press Association to assemble in this
city on the 2Sth inst. 1t is the pur-
pose, as announced by Secretary
Woodson in letter, to have a strict
ly business meeting, and editors at
tending will be expected to pay their
own expenses. Citizens will not, I'M
der the rules adopted by the officers
of the association, be called upon to
entertain visiting members. The peo-
pie of Henderson will however, glad
ly welcome the editorial fraternity,
and in behalf of the press of the city,
as well as the general public, we well
come the brethren and bid all come.
Measures of Importance will be pre-
sented and full attendance of the
members is requested.
1t may also be as well to add that
the Barrett House has kindly consent
ed to make a special rate, which will
be announced in due time should the
call be made.-Henderson Journal.

Carlisle County.
Louisville Commercial.

LOUISVILLE commercial.
The new county is as large as Nc
Cracker or Marshall, or Fulton or
Hickman, its neighbors, three of
which pay surplus of revenue to
the State. Graves, the largest and
wealthiest county in that section
wears that misleading title of "pau-
per county" So it will be seen that
neither size nor wealth of a county
alone determines whether the share
of its expenses to be paid by the State
shall exceed the revenue paid by it.
The people of Ballard long have been
divided, so that no public measure
could receive general support.
Each side of the county demanded at
tention to its own interests to the ex-
clusion of the other. For many
years an internal warfare has existed
in Ballard over the location of the
county-seat, and it may be well that
the Legislature has recognized May
field Creek as the dividing line in
tended by nature, and given the peo-
pie two counties. The Paducah
Standard predicts that while Ballard
was 'pauper" county, the people,
relieved of their long-standing quar-
rel, will devote themselves to better
things and show to the State two
revenue-paying counties.

There will be no flood this year.
AT Louisville the Ohio river reached
nearly 80 feet Friday and then began
to fall slowly. The highest point
reached in February 1884 was a little
over IA feet. Some of the residents
near the river had to move out, but
the damage this year does not ap-
proximate that done by the great
floods of 1884 and 1885. The waters
will now fall rapidly, as local rains
will not amount to much. The melt
ing of snow in the mountains is what
adds most to the volume of water
In the south the small rivers soon
emptied their swollen waters and
while great suffering was caused
among the poor, the troubles did not
last long enough to become really
serious. The wants of the sufferers
were generously attended to by local
relief committees and Congress has
made an appropriation for the same
purpose amounting to $4,000. The
bulk of the water. is now on its way
to the gulf and corresponding rise
may be expected in the lower Missis-
sippi.

FEDERAL AID IN KENTUCKY.
A State Meeting Called at Louis
vile to Favor the Measure.

FRANKFoRT, April 9.-The follow
ing paper signed by several members
of the Legislature will explain itself
To THE PEOPLE OF KENTUcKY-The
passage of the Blair bill in the Senate
and the recent action of the House
with reference to the Willis bill ought
to encourage the friends of Federal
aid to education to renewed exertions.
Bright, however, as are the prospects,
the battle will not be won without a
struggle. We are facing such crisis
as was never before known in the
educational history Of America.
Agitation Is the duty of the hour.
Especially does it behoove every
friend of common schools in the State
to do what he can to create a senti-
ment that will be felt at Washington.
The Blair bill is provision from
the powers of the people for the peo-
pie. 1t has not the slightest trace of
Federal interference with education
in the States. 1t has received the
hearty support of Blackburn, Lamar,
Wade Hampton, Garland, Vance and
other leaders of Southern sentiment,
1t gives to Kentucky nearly IS, 000,0
and ought to be warmly favored by
all who sincerely desire to see in this
Commonwealth an adequate system
of common schools. Many friends of
the cause feel that a demonstration
in its favor ought to be had at once
in Kentucky, and in the absence of
better authority we take the liberty
of calling a convention, to be held in
the city of Louisville on the 2Sth day
of April, 1886.
We earnestly urge the county SUI
perintendeDts and such others as will
act to see to it that meetings are held
in their respective counties on the
Saturday preceding, and delegates
who will attend, that all
schools be represented and that every
friend of popular education make an
effort 10 be present.
