I A KENTUCKY ANECDOTE. “She’s the finest lady in the Blue-Grass Region, but she lacks taste, sir." It was customary in former days for all the ladies of the best families to atteud the prominent barbecues, and this was especially the case in the contest between Mr. Breckinridge and Gen. Coombs, in 1840. Out of these affairs grew the authentic story of the nicest widow in the Blue Grass Region. Not far from the Folks of Elkboru lived the pretty little widow Fauntlcroy, and ono of her nearest neighbors was Gen. Peyton, j The General had looked upon the little widow very much as he looked upou his blooded horse Powhattan. The finest horse iu the Blue Grass Region.” The pretty Mrs. Fauntleroy had been a widow more than a year, while the Gen. having a great regard for etiquette, had waited patiently for that time to elapse, in order to declare himself. But the widow with her woman’s art, kept her lover at bay, and kept him to her train. He had escorted her to this barbe cue, and when returning, had expressed his satisfaction at the prospects of Gen. Coombs and the success of the Whig party. The widow took sides with the De mocracy, and offered to wager her blooded saddle-horse Gipscy, or any thing else on her place, against Powha tan, or anything else she might fancy on the General’s place. The General's gallantry would not allow him to refuse the wager, which he promptly accepted. By this time they had reached the north fork of the Elkhorn, and were about to ford it (bridges were not plenty in those days), when John Pey ton, the General’s only son and heir, came up at a sharp gait behind them. The widow turned and bowed to John, and rode into the stream, but a little behind her companion. The east bank was very steep, and required the horses to put forth all the'.r strength to reach the top with their loads. As luck would have it, good or ill, the widow's girth broke when just at the commencement of the steep part. The lady, still seated on her saddle slid swiftly back into the water, while her horse weut up the bank like an arrow. John Peyton leaped from his horse, and in an instant caught the floating lady and saddle, and before tbc Gen eral had recovered from his astonish ment was at the top of thebauk with liia burden. The little widow was equal to the occasion, for she begged the General to ride on and stop her horse, which Lad Dot begun to understand his part in the mishap, and was beginning to increase his gait toward home. The General did as he was bid, and soon returned with the horse. In the mean time John Peyton had secured his own horse, and when the Gen. came back with the widow’s horse she and John were laughing merrily over the ridiculous aocident, but what further passed between them is only koown to themselves. John Peyton repaired the broken girth, fastened the saddle again on tho horse, placed the lady in her seat, bade her good evening, mounted his horse, aud taking another road down the Elk horn, rode rapidly home leaving the General to escort the widow. It is not uecessary to relate how he entertained his fair companion with his ponderous anecdotes of Mr. Clay and other famous public men ; but when ho reached the Fauntleroy place, he accept ed the lady’s invitation to dismount aDd take tea with her. After having changed her wet cloth ing, the pretty widow entertained her guest with her brightest smiles and some new songs. The General was de lighted, and expressed his delight, as Kentucky gentlemen of that day would do. “You arc the finest songstress, madam, iu the Blue-grass region.” WAYNESBORO’, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1872. When he bade her good night, and shook hands with her on the porch, the wicked little widow gave his band a little squeeze, only a little, but it thrill ed like an electric shock through his great ponderous frame, while she laugh ingly reminded him of his wager. That night in his dreams, the little widow Fauntlffroy was repeated so often, and in so many bewitching forms, that he resolved to propose to her at their first meeting, nor did he dream that he could be refused. The next morning a letter from his tobacco factor called Gen. Peyton to Louisville, and before his return the political contest iu the Ashland district was over; aud, wonderful to relate, John C. Breckinridge, the young Den ocrat, was elected to Congress. Gcu. Peyton was both astonished and indiguant, “Mr. Clay's district, sir, the finest congressional district in the blue-grass region, has disgraced itself, sir,” was almost his first remark to his neighbor, Col. Beaufort. To his son, John, ho communicated his intention of bringing Mrs. Fauntleroy to adorn the bead of his table. “Sir, she is the finest lady in the blue-gras.s legion, and I hope, sir, you will always respect your future mother.” John, with a quiet smile, assured him that lie was pleased with his choice. This pleased the General highly, for he had been a little afraid John would ob ject to a step mother younger than himself. The next morning the Gen. ordered Powhatan brought out and led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy’s. Calling John, he requested him to call upon Mrs Faun tleroy. ‘‘The Whig party has disgraced itself in Mr. Clay’s district, sir, and I am compelled to part with the fiuest blood ed horse in the State to pay a wager with that lady, sii.” The servant thon led Powhatan to the hitching rain in front of Mrs. Fauntleroy’s yard, and having tied him, had gone into the quarters to tell his colored brothers and sisters of their mistress’s good luck in having won the tamous horse Powhatan. When Gen. Peyton and John arrived they found the pretty widow and two young lady friends in the yard admir ing Powhatan. “Madam,” said the General, to Mrs. Fauntleroy, “I have come, like a true Kentucky gentleman, to pay the wager I have lost. Powhatan, madam, is rightfully yours.” “But, General, I believe the wager was conditional. It was the horse or anything else on the place, was it not ?\ “Madam, you are correct, but I can not permit you to select an inferior ani mal.” “You have another and superior ani mal here,” replied the widow, blush ing. “Your son, John; if he would but use his tongue. I think I shall choose him.” The General arose, and in his bland est manner bade the ladies good morn ing. To John he said : “Sir, you will remain.” General Peyton never forgivo his daughter-in-law her practical joke. In after years he used to say : “Sir, she is the finest lady in the blue-grass region, but she lacks taste, sir.” ■ •- • Mrs. Stanton is lecturing on tho “Coming Girl.” The St. Louis Times wants to know, you know, how docs sho know what it will be. Another paper suggests that if she expects such an ad dition she had better be at home mak ing up a supply of small clothes, rather than traveling over the country brag giug about her expectations. Somebody advertises in a London pa per for “some old artificial teeth” which can be “sent by post,” and for which “tbcirvalue will be sent back per return.” “SALUS POPULI SIXrPIkEM-A. XiB3L ESTO.” Coi ncipencks. —The record of coinci dences is now having a lively run. A woman, writing to tho Missouri Re publican calls attention to tho fact that the burning of Chicago and the Michi gan fires occurred on tho sixth anniver sary of the burning of the Shenandoah Valley by Sheridan with troops mostly composed of Michigan and Illinois regi ments. Sheridan laid waste that beautiful district, so tlmt “even a crow flying over it would havo to carry his rations with him.” The burning of the Michigan towns is said to have beer, terrible, and “the flames seemed to leap from the sky as if by magic, overtaking and destroying people and cattle by the roadside.” The Boston fire began on the 10th of November. On the 10th of November General Sherman issued his order to burn Rome and Atlanta. —Atlanta Con stitution. A Feminine Swindler. —A robbery was recently committed in Baltimore which, for dexterity and cuuning, was never supassed. Avery handsomely dressed lady visited the dry goods es tablishment of Hamilton & Easter and purchased costly silks, laces and velvets to the amountjof more than a thousand dollars. After the bill was made out she fouud she did not have half the amount, at which she was deeply cha grined, and asked that a clerk might go in her carriage with her and get the money at her bouse. She drove to the Insane Asylum and there left him in spite of remonstrances. She hadprevi ously been there and prepared the way for his reception, by stating the peculi arity of his mania, and that they would have trouble with him; therefore, when he fought and struggled they only thought him the more insane, and the lady drove off. When time passed and the young man did not return, bis em ployers thought he had absconded with the money. Of course inquiries began, and through the carrfage driver his re treat was discovered, and he was liber ated. The woman is no doubt still playing tbc confidence game somewhere, but as yet she has uot been arrested. Three Cheers for tiie Elder. —The State of Ohio used to be famous for its camp-meetings and religious revivals.but if what we hear from there now-a-days is true, it has sadly lost its prestige in those particulars. An Ironton paper tells us of a circumstance which lately occurred in that locality which is a strong indi cation that there is something wrong either about the preachers or the people. A revival preacher, who had achieved considerable reputation as to his powers in the pulpit, went to Ironton for a week, to “start a revival.” He showed great zeal, preaching every night during his stay, got a double row of “mourners’ benches” ready, and called frantically upon his congregation to come forward. The last night there was an immense gathering, and the preacher fairly out did himself. He shouted, and pleaded, and waited, but all in vain. Not a soul rose. Finally, discouraged beyond measure, he sat down. At that junc ture, a long-faced, anxious looking man got up, and said that the Elder had been working hard and labored faithful ly with them, and as a token of their appreciation lie moved the congregation give him three cheers, It was done with a heartiness which made the pews tremble, and the people went home sat isfied that they had fully and faithfully performed their duty. The preacher has ever since been waitiug to see Iron ton destroyed by fire. —New York Com mercial Advertiser. Some of the California papers oan’t imagine why the jurors at the end of Laura Fair’s trial crowded around her and wept copiously. As long as rope is cheap and abundant, i t would certain ly have looked better if they had gone out aud hanged themselves. II 82 a year, in advance. Duhabilitv or Oak. —At the annual meeting of the Loudon and Middlesex Archaeological Society, held recently at West Drayton, those who assembled ex plored the site of old Drayton Jlouse, when the Pngets —now Earls of Ux bridge and Marquises of Anglesey— kept great state for two centuries after the Reformation down to the demoli tion of their mansion, nr.d tho sale of their property to another family a little i after the middle of the last century.! The party next drove across to Har mondswortii, where tho church and magnificent barn of the adjoining farm formed the principal attractions. The barn is one of the finest in the kingdom, it is nearly 200 feet long by about 40 feet broad and 40 feet high, and the original oak timbers with which it was built nearly 500 years ago, together with its beams and even the oaken pins by which it is fastened together, are still perfeetty sound. Commercial Value of Peanuts.— On this subject the California Rural Press, of June I,says: “The culture of peanuts in California is every year extending, at a large profit over cost of production, simply as a nut to be eaten in the theatres and rail-cars by the boyish element, and by almost every body else when and where they can get a good chance ; and though agreeable aud valuable as an article of food in all countries, yet their greatest value lies in the oil they contain. It is easy of extraction and is equal to olive or al mond oil for every purpose for which these oils arc used, and* in many parts of the world it is sold for pure olive oil, and is fully equal to it for all the alimen tary purposes. It is said to keep a longer time without becoming rancid than any other vegetable oil; and as an illuminating oil is gives a superior light. If cold pressed under favorable condi tions, it yields a larger per oentage of oil, but if heated before pressure the quantity of oil ia increased, but its fine flavor is somewhat impaired as a table oil. The hotter the climate the larger the per cent, of oil. The nuts, after being roasted and ground fine, arc also an excellent substitute for chocolate, and large quantities are used in tropical countries for that purpose.” Good Words for the South. —The Herald of Tuesday, speaks these kind words—and as just os gent r ms—for the South. We trust that the Presi dent may indeed make the attainment of these ends the crowning glory of his administration. Jays the Herald: Gen. Grant ewes bis re-election very largely to bis immense payments of the national debt and to his increased trea sury savings from diminished taxes; but how much of all this has resulted from Southern cotton as a balance against our European importations has never boon fully acknowledge or com puted. Now, let us have bona fide, the reconstructed Southern States restored to the Union; let the President lead the way in this restoration by challeng ing the Southern people in his generous advances, and social and political har mony betweeu whites and blacks will soon follow with law and order. The capital and emigration, with general confidence, will pour into the inviting fields of the South, and within the period allotted to - the living generation of her young men the cash products of the South, in cottoo, rice, sugar, corn and tobacco, may be increased a hun dred-fold. “Manifest destiny,” we are told, iuvites us to Cuba, St. Domingo, Mexico, and to that half of this conti nent over which still flies the flag of England; but manifest destiny first in vites us to that perfect restoration of the South which will open anew em pire to the world’s industry, which will add millions of people to our wealth producing classes and hundreds of mil lions of money to our annual resources as a nation. Here, then, lies the work which General Grant may make the crowning glory of his administration. RULES FOR LfUAL ADVERTISING !

Kicking Against Facts. —The rhe toricians have always held the begin ning of an essay to be the most difficult to manage.

It will be used main ly by writers who are inclined to "stretch a story.” One of the participants in a gamo of cards, in Kentucky, “nigged,” and after the “scene that eusued,” there was only one left to “take a baud.” A huckster iu Stamford, Ky., has the following warning displayed over his stall: “Any Man or Boy that takes One Apel Without Leafc is a litl Iloge in his bartc.” The editor of a Western paper writes: “My wife and I have separated. As we both wanted to be boss, and she was likely to beat me, I left her. She says she will ‘nail’ me yet, and I believe her.” A man recently broke off a marriage because tho lady did not possess good conversational powers. A friend told him he should have married her, and then refused her anew bonnet to have developed her power of talk. Riches are not among the number of things that are good. It is not poverty that causes sorrow, but covetous desires. Deliver yourself from appetite, and you will be free. He who is discontented with things present and allotted is un skilled in life. A Louisville man who has only been acquainted with his girl two nights at tempted to kiss her at the gr„te. In his dying deposition he told the doctorsihat just as ho "kissed her, the earth slid out from under his feet, and his soul went out of his^ mouth while his head touched the stars.” Later dispatches show that what ailed him was the old man’s boot. A man by tho uame of Becker, who resides near Quarryville, New Y.ork, owned a couple of horses that had tbe distemper. In cleaning out the man gers the other day, the virus came in contact with a flesh wouud in his hand.
