An omen letter 10 the Y. Nj. e.
A. of Lexington.

About three; years ago l re-
ceived a circuiaf letter from your
Association asking me to con-
tribute to it. 1 returned your
circular after having written on
it the words 81 have but little
money and can make a better use
of it," or words to that effect.
My reply was intended to be
understood as meaning to cut
"guing and coming" as some per-
Sons have said of my paper.
l meant to say not only that /
thought l could make good use of
my money, but that l thought goa,
would not make good use of it.
Under precisely the same cir
cumstances, understanding the
status as l then did, l would make
you a similar reply to-day.
l had been to your rooms,
found you sandwiching checkers
and psalms, back CANNON, prayers
and chess, in a style that struck
me as being incOngruvial, and
with a salaried officer at the head
of all this. In addition to this l
had lately seen frequent notices in
the papers of this city that young
man who had left this city for
Kansas City, and whom l knew
to be a man of quite ordinary ca
pacity, was receiving a salary of
100000 year as the President
of the Y. M. C. A. in that city.

had been so careless as to lea We out a
word or, two, and there the matter
was dropped"
That extract was tax en- from
Rev. McGarvey's sermon to which
Col. Nelson refers, and l cut it
from the Georgetown Times,
under editorial remarks of that
paper that closed, at the begin
ming of this extract as follows.
"Among other grave accusations
made by Mr.. McGarvey is the follow
ing, which would seem to require ex-
PLANTATION or investigation"
l make the explanation.
George Wallace of this city is
kim hearted inoffensive young
man; his parents are as good peo-
pie as live in Kentucky, and are
members of the Christian church,
in which George was brought up,
with as near a model rearing as
any parents who live in LeXing-
ton could give. George is known
by every newspaper man in Lex
ington, including myself, to be an
inebriate, of apparently the most
hopeless variety.
Every officer in Lexington and
nine-tenths of the saloon-keepers,
know him to be an inebriate.
His parents have done every
thing they could to save him. Ii
was proven that nine saloon,
keepers in Lexington had SOLD
him liquor after this warning
These nine saloon-keepers were
indicted by the "unquestionably
Just grand jury of this court" tt
which Col. Nelson refers, and were
) tried before the "fearless Judge
OF the Circuit Court" to whom
the Colonel refers. Georges
father swore that George was al
: inebriate; George himself swor'
that he was an inebriate, an(
there were e thousand people O
the highest standing in Lexing
! ton who would have sworn thai
; George was an inebriate. Th'
, nine saloon-keepers did not deny
! that they had recently sold Georg'

in any way fined or punished.
see no reason why those nine sa
loon-keepers would be restrained
from selling George liquor to- day
!, if the Mayor and Lieutenan
,, Governor of the state would vic

We Ocen 10olinS around among
these Y. M. c. A. fellows here
lately until | am almost getting to
be orthordox, and instead of be-
lieviug there never was miracle,
as say in ''The Rational View,"
it seems to me like it's getting to
be that we don't have anything
else but miracles, these days.
The last one is my old friend
Duncan Of the Press getting to be
a regular red hot, fire eating, fa-
natical crank of a Prohibitionist.
The first thing you know he will
want a plank in the Prohibition
platform prohibiting the manu-
facture, export, importation and
sale OF thermometers, because
they have alcohol in them.
You know about year ago he
was in favor of having me killed
immt diately if not sooner, and
now | can almost edit the Blue
Grass Blade by reprinting what he
gets into his paper for Prohibi-
ton.
You know that only a month
or two ago friend Duncan was
.;ust dead gone ON the idea of head
ing me Democratic ucket for
Mayor of Lexington, with his
name. But suddenly he con-
cluded to ''fling away ambition"
like old Cardinal Woolsey con-
cluded to do after ambition" had
flung him away, and Brother
Duncan just resigned all those
Mayoral honoFs to his friend
Davidson with such Il spirit of sell
sacrifice as bad not, until then,
been witnessed since the days OF
Damon and Pythias, and an ebul.
lition of generosity that said he
would "go the Hull hog or none.

talks about shooting" and chang
ing some female toughs about

the saloons scandalous. He walks
into the pulpit with the Blue
Grass Blade in his hand, aud not
only endorses the very toughest
things l have said, but piles on a
whole lot more, that | would be
afr, id to say; and then just as soon
as the Reverend little Giant has
knocked all the stulling out OF
Democracy, until Lexinet ton
Democracy looks about as much

Apropos of Mr. Bergh and his noble
work, it may interest the readers to know
that the founder of the original society for
prevention of cruelty to animals was an
Irishman. His name was Dick Martin,
and he was member of both parlianlents
from the county of stones and handsome
women-Galway. Martin was a perfect
specimen of the Irish gentleman of a CEN

Working for Other Men.

All honest men are working for other
men. Ii man works exclusively for
himself, he is a counterfeter, or forger
or sneak thief, or perchance high
wayman. All love of industry, all love
of integrity, all love of kindred, all love
of neighbour all love of country and all
love of humanity is expressed in labor for
Others For this service thus performed
a right to a reward is required, and he
for whom the service is performed has
imposed upon him the duty TO render
the reward and the service is rendered
in the hope of the reward. Everywhere
in civilized society men are thus work
ing for others.
Every man, in all the years of his labor,
tolls for his fellow man, and the practice
is universal among all honest civilized
men, and last from generation TO genera
ton; and universal practice is gradually
becoming crystallized into universal habit.
One man is trying to make better houses
for his neighbors, another man is trying
TO make better shoes for his neighbors,
another man is trying TO make better laws
for his neighbors, and another man is try
ing to make better books for his neigh
borS. Every man is thus forever dwell
ing upon the welfare of his neighbors,
and making his best endeavor Tor their
good; and thus the habit grows from gen
Grafton TO generation, until at last some
men forget that there is reward for serv-
ice, and labor for their fellow men be-
cause they love their fellow men.-Maj.
