The Wonderful Prophet.

We publish the following riddle by
request, and will wager ginger cake
that not onetenth of the Bible readers
can solve it:
"To be seen at West Chester, near
New York, strange and wonderful
prophet, whose generation was before the
creation of Adam. lie was not the
Wandering jew, nor the son of Noah,
nor the old Lcyitc, nor John the Baptist;
for he was certainly before them all.
"The Scriptures make mention of him
particularly in st. Mark, St Luke, and
st. John. So we may believe that he is
no impostor.
Gle never lay upon his mothers
breast. His beard is such as no man
ever wore He goes barefoutod, like n
grave friar. lie wears no hat in winter
or summer, but often appears with a
crown upon his head His coat is Meth
err knit nor srun, silk nor hair, linen nor
wooden. He is a tectotaler. He prefers
an humble dwelling to palace. lie is
very watchful. He sleeps not in bed,
but sits in singular kind of chair,
with his clothes on. He was with Noah
in the ark, and was alive at the crucifx-
ion. Nearly all the world hear him. He
once preached short sermon, which con-
WINGED n man of his sins, and caused
him to weep most bitterly. Though he
never rides on horseback, he is in some
respects equipped as horsemen are. He
is an advocate for early rising, though
he never retifes to bed. His prophecies
are so true, that the moment you hear
his voice, you may know what is APP
preaching.
"Now who is this prophet, and what
doth he foretell2"

HAZEL GREEN. KY:
FRIDAY, January 20, 1883.

People who have been accustomed tC
reading of the wonderful resources Of
the mountain counties, have doubtless
many times wondered why they arc
placed in the pauper list, and people
who have read of the wonderful blue
grass section as stock raising country
have been led to believe that there was
TO be found the finest horses and mules
ia the world. Proof herewith produced
shows the latter to be deluson. We
confess that for long time we labored
under the hallucination, but from time
to time have tried TO impress upon our
people the importance of raising better
grade of stock. In an humble way we
have .ohdeavored to point out to them
our advantages, over the bluegrass coun-
try, for raising fine stock. 1t will appear
from reading the following, taken at ran
dom from the report of the Board of
Equalization issued for the year 1887,
that our advice has been taken. Wolfe
county raised and reported to the asses
sor for 1887 better class of horses by
s6.4S per head than Bourbon county, and
Owsley county raised and reported to
the assessor better class of horses than
did Montgomery, the difference in favor
Of the former county being S12.38 per
head. Now, if these reports are made
upon proper estimate, and we presume
they are, for every man must swear to
the yaluo Of his stock, it is clearly dem
onstrated that the pauper mountain
counties produce better grade of stock
than the pampered counties of the blue.
grass, which if Systematically pursued
will soon relieve us of the stigma of pau
perism. On the other hand, if the re-
ports are Tot correct, somebody has re-
sorted to Lerjury and helped to make us
paupers. If pauper counties pay more
tax than those reported prosperous, the
reason Of our poverty is apparent. Read
this table. The left column represents
the pride of the State, and the column
on the right indicates eve paupers

A Washington special says: Speaker
Carlisle has not been well for several
days, and complained Of feeling badly.
This evening while at the dinner table at
the Riggs House he was taken suddenly
and seriously i'll, and reached his room
with the utmost difficulty. DIR. Sewers
was promptly called in, who pronounced
the attack a chill of the congestivc order
aud administered the proper medicine,
and advised the Speaker to keep quiet
for several days, as he was in great need
of rest and his nervous system greatly
impaired. The illness of Mr.. Carlisle
will doubtless prevent him from presid-
ing over the House for the next few days,
and he may be compelled to give up his
trip to Georgia, where he expected to 60
Saturday to deliver his speech on revenue
reform. At A. NJ. the Speaker was
somewhat Improved, and the high fever
that he had early in the evening had
slightly abated.

HORSES.
Assessed Value

Again, il the assessors and the citizens
in those counties complied with the law,
Pike county will henceforth be looked
upon as the finest mule-producing county
in the State, for we find that she raised
and reported to the assessor class of
mules valued at 1889 per head, while
Bath county did not produce any above
the average of $40. 2S,a difference of $35.l
in favor of the Pike product. Thus it
will be seen that mule produced in a
pauper county is worth nearly as much
as two raised on blue grass, and that the
pauper county therefore pays nearly
twice as much tax, in proportion to the
number raised, as the pampered county.
Now, with charity for all and malice to.
ward none, we assume that the assessors
report in all these counties was on the
sworn statements of the stock-raisers,
which shows the pauper counties to be
the producers of the finest stock. Then
stock men of the State should locate
here. But, if somebody has lied, then
the reason of our poverty is plain, and
we hope those papers which are continu
ally crying out "pauper counties" will
tell the reason why. Here is the mule

Women and Corects,

The assertion has an odd sound, but ii
is probably true, that not ten women out
OF 100 have the faintest conception of
what it would feel like to have a natural
unfettered body. Within a few weeks the
writer has asked twenty.eieht women at
what age they first put on corsets. Thir-
teen of them said they could not rcmcin-
her a time when they had not worn them.
Their earliest ~rccollcctions of themselves
and their dress included corset waists
and corset lacines. One New York
physician estimates that city girls are
corseted on an average when Z years old.
Another says that her inquiries would
lead her to put it at years.
Women grow up in corsets and har-
monte with their environments. They
put on corsets in the morning before they
do their shoes, and do not think they
could comb their hair without stays.
They live in coIsets and would be thor.
tughly uncomfortable without them.
They haven't developed muscles to get
along without support. And yet the cor
set might be made at least less obtrusive.
1t used to be the proper thing to wear an
under bodice of shape aud thickness to
hide or disguise the outline of the con
%lrivance of w~halebones ard stce!s. Now
aeays nothing of the sort seems to be
Il ought necessary. The corset is promi-
nent as if paraded outside the gown. The
fashion plate marks its top and bottom

of all Indiana, and of the whole country.

been invaded by the interest of Il nation
and by the visits of thousands. Every
one is welcome TO enter the house aud
shake hands with the general and Mrs.
Harrison.
The interior Of the house has been in
vaded with equally ruthless enthusiasm,
and even Mrs. lIarrison's ~siicboard, With
its treasures of painted china, the work
OF his " hands, has to pass the critical
review of the special correspondent
but this sudden publicity which has le-
fallen the Harrison household has appar-

Rev. John Weathcrspoon Scott, who was
for a long tirne q professor at Washing

filled similar positions st Miami universe
