A Kentucky Anecdote. “ She’s the finest lady in the Blue Grass Re gion, but she lacks taste sir.” It was customary in former days for all the ladies of the best families to attend the prominent barbecues and this was espe cially the case in tbe contest between Mr. Breckinridge and Gen. Coombs, in 1840. Out of these affairs grew the story of the nicest widow in the Blue Grass Kegion. Not far from the Forks of Elkhorn lived the pretty little widow Fauntleroy, and one of lier nearest neigh bors was Gen. Peyton. The General had looked upon the little widow very much as he looked upon his blooded horse Powhat tan. “ The finest horse in 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 in her train. He had escorted her to this barbecue, 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 Democ racy, and offered to wager her blooded saddle-horse Gipsey, or anything else on her place, against Powhatan, or anything else she might fancy on the General’s place. The General’s gallantry would not al low 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 Peyton, 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 be hind her companion. Tbe east bank was very steep, and required tbe horses to put forth all their 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 went up the bank like an arrow. John Peyton leaped from his horse, and in an instant caught tbe lloating lady and 1 Baddle, and before the General had recov ered from his astonishment was at the top of the bank with his burden. The little widow was equal to the occasion, for she begged the General to ride on and stop her horse, which had now began to un derstand 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 General came back with the widow’s horse she and John were laughing merrily over the ri diculous accident, but what further passed between them is only known to them selves. John Peyton repaired the broken girth, I fastened the saddle again on the horse, I placed the lady in her seat, bade ber good | evening, mounted his horse, and taking ' another road down the Elkhorn, rode ( rapidly home leaving the General to es | cort the widow. It is not necessary to relate how he en | tertamed his fair companion with his pon * derous anecdotes of Mr. Clay and other famous public men ; but when he reached the Fauntleroy place, he accepted the lady s invitation to dismount and take tea with her. After having changed her wet clothing, Lc pretty widow entertained her guest with her brighest smiles and some new songs. The General was delighted, and expressed his delight, as Kentucky gentle men of that day would do. “You are the finest songstress, madam, in the blue-grass region.” It hen he bade her good-night, and shook hands with her on the porch, the wicked little widow gave his haod a lit tle squeeze, only a little, bni it thrilled like an electric shock through his great ponderous frame, while she laughingly re minded him of his wager. That night in his dreams, the little widow Fauntleroy was repeated so often, and in so many be- paeon Pail]) enterprise. witching forms, that ho resolved to pro pose to her at their first meeting, nor did he dream that he could be refused. The next morning a letter from his to bacco factor called Gen, Peyton to Louis ville, and before his return the political contest in the Ashland district was over ; and, wonderful to relate, John C. Breck inridge, the young Democrat, was elected to Congress. Gen. Peyton was both astonished and indiguaut. “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, he communicated his intention of bringing Mrs. Fauntleroy to adorn the head of his table. “Sir, she is the finest lady in the blue grass region, and I hope, sir, you will always respect your future mother.” John, with a quiet smile, assured him that he was pleased with his choice. This pleased the General highly, for he had been a little afraid John would object to a step mother younger than himself. The next morning the General ordered Powhattau brought out and led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy’a. Calling John, he re quested him to call upon Mrs. Fauntleroy “The Whig .party has disgraced itself in Mr. Clay's district, sir, and I am com pelled to part with the finest blooded j horse in the State to pay a wager with that lady, sir.” The servant thou led Powhattan to the hitching rail 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 famous horse Powhattan. When Gen. Peyton and John arrived they found the pretty widow and two yourg la ly friends in the yard admiring Powhattan. “Madam,” said the General, to Mrs. Fauntleroy, “I have come, like a true Kentucky gentleman, to pay the wager I have lost. Powhattau, madam, is right fully yours.” “But, General, I believe the wager was conditional. It was the horse or auything else on the place, was it not ?” “Madam, you are correct, but I cannot permit you to select an inferior animal ” “You hava another and superior animal here,” replied the widow, blushing. “Your son, John; if he would but use his tongue. 1 think I shall choose him.” The General arose, and in his blandest manner bade the ladies good morning. To John he said : “Sir, you will remain.” General Peyton never forgave his daugh ter-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.” The War Claims of Darkeys. It seems that the imitative african is Af flicted with a desire to get his fingers in that war claims pie and enjoy some of the fruits of his patriotic loyalty to the best governemt. Yesterday evening fourcolored individuals, all from Springfield, Effing ham county, were marched into Justice Elsinger’s office by an official who has ta ken their business in charge, and reques ted to be sworn upon certain affidavits of claims for provisions taken from them in December, 1854, by Federal troops. They all swore lustily to their loyalty, and that they had never given aid, &c., to the Confederate army, and to the correctness of their claims. These claims will now have to go before the Claims Commission er, Virgil nillyer, when they will be prop erly fixed up and forwarded to Washing ton for final adjudication. The colored patriots in question and the amounts of their claims are as follows : Limerick Murray, (a queer name for tfh African,) claim of $329 50; William Gold win, claim $489; Csesar Soulin, claim $452; Alfred Young, claim $4Ol, These parties all swear that provisions, fence rails &c., valued at the above amount, were taken from them by the Federal army. Those old darkeys must have been pretty well oil'during the war. Sav. News. A Word on Strikes. [Punch. ) To Old Friend P. :—Hang it, Old P. let's ALL strike. Wliy not? It will equal ize matters generally. After a time, wlieu we want, bread, beef, and beer we can all begin de novo. And when we do begin de novo, we’ll settle to be satisfied with Necessaries, and we shall be Every Man his own Butcher, Every Man his own Baker, Every Man his own Washerwo man, Every Sian his own Bootmaker, etc., etc., etc. Then gradually we shall work round to a rational state. Britons, let’s all strike. In the meanwhile I shall go and live quietly in Russia. Yours truly, Knout. A South Carolina election dispatch says : “The Democrats have elected sev eral representatives to the Legislature.” Considering that the Democrats have about 48,000 out of the 119,000 voters in the State, and that there are 124 members of the House, this statement gives a vivid picture of the condition to which unfor tunate South Carolina has been reduced. Two-fifths of the inhabitants of the State and just the two-fifths having all the in telligence of the commonwealth, are so absolutely overridden by a negro majoti ty that it is considered a matter worthy of special mention for them to have even half a dozen representatives put of some six score. Tixe opinion which Forney's Press, as a Grant organ, entertains of the New York Times as a Grant organ, is indicated in the following paragraph from the former: The New York Times, in the campaign now happily almost over, has earned for itself a reputation for infamy only sur passed by that of the men in Pennsylva nia whom,in its lavish subserviency.it has lauded to the skies. It is the Dalgetty of the American press, and, as such, its paid for slanders can bejpassed by,but its brutal ity, its iguorance, and lack of patriotism, honor, and decency, constitute it a mean critic of even the most ordinary Americans. Radical frauds crop ont almost every where in the late elections. The vote of Indianapolis, Indiana, which is under Itad ical control, was 14,174. The population of that city by the Federal census of 1870 was 48,244. The vote shows one voter to every 3 3-4 of population—a greater ratio of voters to population than ever beard of before, the usual ratio beiDg one to fi of population.
