The PRESIDENTS OUTDOOR RECEPTION.
After the President had received the High
School cadets yesterday afternoon, which was
accomplished by filing the line past him while
he stood bowling, he put on his coat and hat,
and, accompanied by Col. Wilson, went out
upon the portico to receive the great crowd of
people that had assembled. The line extended.
three and four deep, from the mansion to the
west gate, and to have shaken he nds with each
one would have taken nearly an hour. But the
President took his stand in the center of the
portico, on the edge of the porte cochere. and
the line fled by below. When an uplifted hat
was seen the President raised his in response,
and bowed graciously between times. While
this process was going on Secretary Tracy
drove up and alighted from his carriage out
side of the portico. As he passed the Presi-
dent on his way into the mansion the latter
paused in his bowling, and turning, said laugh
ing: won't you come and help them to see
me?" The Secretary shook his head and went
on into the house. The reception" lasted
about ten minutes and then the President went
back into the house to attend the cabinet
meeting. As he turned away the crowd ap-
plauded with hand-clappings, and the Presi-
dent turned and removed his hat.

LawIessness IN Kentucky.

Every day or two our dispatches contain
accounts Of lawless deeds in the mountain
counties Of K .ntucxy Our dispatches yes
terday con aimed an account Of fight be-
tween the Eversols and the French factions
at Hazard. in Perry county. The court
was in session, and the two factions came
u Hazard carrying revolvers and rifles.
J The Eversole faction numbered thirty
men, many or whom are under
bond to appear at court for
offenses for which they had bsen indicted
There we're only few Of the French faction
in town, but a strong force Of that faction
was close at hand, ready to take part in
any disturbance that might be started.
Everybody expected a fight, and yet no
steps appear to have been taken to prevent
one. In a day or two the men,
hers Of the rival factions reached
a fighting frame of mind, and then
the shooting began. One faction took pos
session of the court house and fought from
that position. while the other faction found
some protection in the surrounding houses.
The judge did not wait to see which faction
would be victorious. He started for home
by the nearest route. The Eversole party
finally retreated, but not before several
persons had been killed and quite number
seriously wounded.
Only few days ago similar fight took
place between hostile factions in Harlan
county. The fight lasted longer, however,
than the one at Hazard, and the casualties
were greater. The judge of the court took
RI in rxz{f ba Off
ment that would be permanent. One of the
factions was forced to seek safety in the
mountains, but it is probable that the war
in Har Ian county is not yet over.
1t would seem as if the governor of Ken
lucky would exert himself to put an end to
these faction fights in his state. 1t may be
said that it is impossible to prevent them.
Perhaps it is, but an effort should be made
TO do so. If the sheriffs of these counties
were given sufficient force of militia, aud
ordered to hunt down the lawless charac-
ters, and bring them before the courts for
trial, and if the judges were to show the
criminals no favors in the way of contin-
uing their cases from term to term until the
witnesses were beyond the reach of the
courts, the probabilities are that the great
majority of the factions would soon be in
the penitentiary.
1t must be admitted, however, that
human life is by no means regarded as
sacred in some parts of Kentucky, particu-
larly in the mountains, where the republic
ans are in the majority. The people are
brave and hospitable, but the shedding of
human blood requires very little
provocation. The encounter between
Col. Goodloe and Col Swope,
at Lexington, the other day in which both
were killed, was wholly inexcusable one,
both men having agreed to a settlement of
their differences. Kentucky needs little
more Of the christian spirit of the nineteenth
century civilization.

Kissed Her for the Cigars.
From the Albany Express.

From the albany Express.
I'd give Is cents for permission to kiss that
glrl, remarked an insipid- looking youth on an
Albany-bound train last night, indicating with
a motion OF his hand an unusually handsome
young woman asleep in a seat near by. The
young man was one of group standing in the
rear of the crowded car Another vounp man
said:
You have my permission sir, gratis"
trald she wouldn't regard it as sufficient, ~
laughed the first.
Il don't know" replied the other; 81 have a
great influence with goodlooking girls-I'll tell
you what I'll do; I'll bet you good cigar can
kiss her without waking her"
Done cried the insipid youth. 'I'll give
you cigar if you dare do it anyway, and two
more if she don't wake up
Its CO."
The daring young man stepped up to the seat
where the pretty girl slept, leaned over softly
and kissed her squarely and audibly upon her
mouth She stirred, smiled little but did not
wake The group of men had watched the pro-
ceeding in GREATNESS suspense, and long and
simultaneous sigh broke from them as young
Impudence Strengthened up after the operation
and rejoined the group, several passengers who
had seen the audacious performance staring at
him in establishment: BY Jove! that was ele-
he handed the successful kisSer his three cigars
But there was another reckoning to be made.
The conductor came hurrying down the isle.
and went for" the daring passenger, meta
phorically speaking, hammer and tongs,"
crying: See here, young man, don't you ever
try that again. Are you gentleman, sir?
Don't you know that can arrest you for such
performance as that?"
The young man colored, but laughed nerv-
ously as he answered: NO, don't much be-
lieve you can. l guess there isn't any American
law against fellows kissing his own sister-is
there?"
1t has not appeared yet whether or not the
young woman learned of her brothers aston
ishing exhibition Of disrespect, or whether, if
she did, her displeasure lessened the gratIfica-
ton derived from the cigars won in such a
questionable manner.

The Record Froken.

Savannah has broken her record in cot
ton receipts. Up TO no2n yesterday she had
received this season over 10000 bales of
cotton, the season, Of course. beginning sept
l. Never before in her history has she re-
ceived so much cotton in the same time Of
any previous ysar-that is. from Sept. 10
Nov. Is, two months and q half. In fact,
in no other Two and a half months have
her receipts been so large.
The commerce Of Savannah is increasing,
and increasing rapidly 1t would not be
surprising il her receipts Of cotton this year
should reach 900, 900 bales. They would 90
beyond those figures if the Central railroad
could handle all the cotton it could get at
competitivepoints Within another year
perhaps il will be better equipped with
rolling stock than at present, and then we
may confidently expect to see Savannah's
cotton receipts approach closely those Of
New Orleans
The people Of Savannah ought to appre-
ciate her rapidly increasing prominence as
a commercial city, and they should work
together. sincerely. earnestly and harmo-
niously, for her advancement. Her pros
perity means their. prosperity, aud the
more they do to build her up the greater
will be the return which she will make to
them.
The opening up OF the section of country
which is now being penetrate by the Eden
extension of the Savannah and Western
railroad will greatly increase Savannah's
receipts of naval stores and lumber In
deed. it is not improbable that within a
year or two a stock Of naval stores will be
seen near the Central railroad wharves that
will be nearly as great as that now nearly
always seen at the wharves of the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western railway. Savan-
nah is already the greatest naval stores
market in the world, but it is probable that
her exports of rosin and turpentine will be
almost doubled in the very near future.
We must work together, and work ener-
getically for appropriations for the i'm
provement of our harbor, and for the trade
of the vast region of country that is
naturally tributary to US.

Can This Be True?

A Phi iladelphia dispatch states that the
delegates to the three Americas congress
were treated with scant courtesy in that
city. Up to the time the delegates visited
Philadelphia they were the recipients of
marked attention and were shown great
consideration wherever they stopped. The
people recognized that they we're distin-
guished representatives of their respective
countries, and they left undone nothing
that would promote the pleasure of the
party and help to give them an insight into
the great industries of the country. In
PHILADELPHIA a. the last city the delegates
visited, however, they are said to have been
subjected to such incivilities that Mr. Cur
tbs, representing the state department, had
to protest, and to threaten to take them
back to their hotels The Philadelphians
seemed to think that the foreign delegates
came to that city for the special purpose of
affording amusem ent for them. At the re-
ception by the Union League Club, the del
egates are said to have been marched into
room, in which they were arranged in a
circle, after which hundreds of Philadel-
phians started on tour of
inspection. They walked around the
room, staring at the delegates and making
unpleasant remarks concerning them The
idea does not seem to have entered their
heads that the amenities of polite society
were expected, or that they would be I'M
derstood by the delegates, but, on the con-
trary, they acted pretty much as if they
were viewing menagerie. One woman
remarked that the visitors were very Or
binary looking, and she was very much
surprised to learn that her remark was un-
derstood by those delegates who heard it.
1t was at this juncture that Mr.. Curtis
is said to have complained to Mayor
Filter, and the mayor is represented
as having said that the Philadelphians
came there to look at the delegates, and
that they should have a chance to do SO.
The special adds that after the delegates
had been inspected they were fed and sent
back to their hotels, without being intro
duced to the other people present.
1t is to be hoped that there is a very great
mistake about this, for such treatment OF
invited guests would reflect discreditably
not only upon Philadelphia, but upon the
rest Of the country. When the delegate.
come south, they will receive hospitality
and courtesy that will at least, rival. ant
will probably exceed, that accorded b,
| the cities visited before Philadelphia was
reached. No southern city would be guilt,
of such conduct as is charged upon Phila
delphia

The Wrong Time to Kick,

Representative William Engle of Bangor is an
extensive lumber operator, says the Lewiston
me Journal and one fall. when up in a clear
ing, he ran across a man who had a harmful of
hay to sell. 1t looked nice on the outside, and
Engle struck a bargain whereby the man was
to press it and then deliver to Engle's teamster
for S17 per ton.
Later in the season he went into the camp.
and there he found a lot of pressed wiregrass,
winch, he said, was not fit for a horse to
sleep on.
What's this'" he asked of the foreman.
Why, that's some hay you bought"
Il bought?"
Yes; that's some Davis toted in"
We'll, said Engle, Il always thought was
stuff for hay
But he had bought it, The interior Of that
haymow was big fraud, and when the seller
struck Engle for settlement, he was told he
was cheat and he couldn't get cent.
But there came time when some settlement
must be made, and after much discussion it
was agreed the whole matter should be left to
one W. q. Davis, an honest backwoodsman,
who had toted the material in
Engle was delighted, for this man Davis had
worked for him for years, and William was
quite sure good big slice would be knocked
from the bill, which amounted to several nm
dred dollars. They found Davis out in the
hovel, and, after opening up to him the prop
osltion, all took shingles and began to whittle
style.
The seller couldn't say much; he thought the
hay averaged we'll and would have opened the
NOW if he had been asked to do so; and on the
whole nc, made bad work of poor case.
Then Davis, the juryman, whitfield awhile
after which he cooked his eye toward the lum,
Der king and asked
Bill, you accepted the hay?''
Well, yes, my man did,"
And you have fed it out?"
Yes, the man did. He didn't have any other
Davis whitfield awhile and then said: ''You
bought the hay, Bill, accepted it, and all winter
you have been feeding it out, and betwixt YOU
and me, William, l think it's darned poor
time to squealr'
Engle says he saw the point and he paid.
