young gentleman, and thorough busi

Rome.
All bis dealings with the public are
marked by a refined courtesy and pleas

winning the esteem of the public, he is
still faithful to the duties he owes to the

Editor Times: Other engagements
kept us, last week, from noticing Sub**
scribers’ three mile heat. If we could
find some editor who wanted matter
simply to fill up, I think this discussion
would be quite interestiag.
If we prided ourselves on verbose
articles, we would take great interest in
this discussion, but meaningless words,
or words foreign to the subject, cannot
interest sensible people.
All discussions should a ; m at the dis
covering of truth, and all arguments
that fall short of that are beneath the
capacity of men.
The gentleman (or gentlemen), no
doubt, after their heavy campaign are
lying back expecting our batteries to
open on them with shot and shell, uu*
less, indeed, they think they have en
tirely silenced them. They are silent,
but not silenced, and will remain so as
regards this warfare until these bellig
erants raise defiant colors. They show
far greater love for a war of words than
they do of establishing truths. Wc
cited them to a parallel case decided by
the courts. They avoided even a notice
of it, which clearly establishes this as
sertion.
Our steel is ever bright, and ready to
fight for the cause of truth; but we
deny all allegiance to that of error, and

filth and mire to fight for its establish

It is just one hundred years ago
since the first settlement of Kentucky,
in April, 1771, the terrible massacre of
the Imgan family by the Indians to k
place, and Daniel Boone, who hated the
Indian as much as he relished the Indi
an life, was longing for revenge, when
a messenger came riding down the val
ley of the Ohio with his steed in a
foam; a messenger from the royal Gov.
Dunmore of \ irgiuia, seeking one
Boone, Daniel Boone, a woodman who
had been iu the West, to go westward
to the falls of the Ohio, and conduct
surveying parties and protect them as
they went. Boone started on his peril
ous journey on the 6th of June. 1774,
reached and reeonducted the surveyors
in safety to the settlements, the dis
tance being 800 miles and the time two
months. Ihe Governor rewarded
Boone by employing him on a larger
scale for settling the West. James
Ilarrod, the founder of Harrodsburg,
built the first house in what was then
termed the West, a log cabin raised iu
the forest in April, 1774.

The Marriage of an Egyptian Princess.
The fetes given by the V iceroy of
Egypt on the occasion of the marriage
of his daughter, the Princess Zeioeb
Ilanoum, with Ibrahim Pasha were of a
most brilliant description. Tbo fetes
commenced on Sunday, Feb. 21, when
the Princess was conducted from the
palace of the Viceroy to that of her
granduiothi r, his mother. Her depart
ure was announced by salvoes of artil
lery, and for three days following the
festivities were carried on. The invi
tations to the fetes were in accordance
with the rank of each guest. The mem
bers of the priesthood received a special
mark of honor by being invited cn the
first day. The next day was devoted to
the entertainment of the Consuls-Gen
eral and of the higher functionaries of
the State, civil and mil tary. Thirdly
and lastly came the religious heads of
the Christian communities and the Vice-
Consuls, the Governors of Cairo and
Alexandria, and the principal bankers
and merchants of those cities. After
the banquet was a magnificent display
of fireworks, and on the same evening
a ceremony of a different character took
place in the apartments of the haremlik,
where a number of European ladies
and other notabilities were received by
the daughters of the Viceroy.
The Princess, however, remained in a
private room with the princess-mother
and aunt of the Khedive until after
dinner, when she received her lady
guests in an ther apartment where were
displayed the costly marriage preseuts
of the Sultan. The room was profuse
ly and richly decorated, a carpet of the
rarest furs covered the floor, and the
walls and ceiling were hung with fab
rics of inestimable value. Elevated in
the middle of the room were three
thrones covered with fine silk tissue w.th
gold embroidery. On one of these the
Princess, resplendant with jewels, took
a seat, her mother and grand aunt seat
ing themselves, the one oh her right
hand and the other on her left. To
them now advanced their Highnesses
the maternal grandmother of the Prin
cess, the mother of Prince Ibrahim
Pasha, and the wives of the Khedive ;
as they entered the room they opened
bags, from which, in conformity with
an ancient custom, they took handfuls i
of gold, which they flung on the heads
of the festive assemblage.
On the following day, Thursday, the
bride was conducted with great pomp
to the palace of her distinguished hus
band. In the van of the marriage
cortege capered the prefect of police on
an Arab charger, richly caparisoned,
accompanied by a brilliant eiUouraqe of
officers Following these marched de
tachments of cavalry and foot soldiers.
Then came the ulemas anu imams chant
ing invocations for the Lappiuess of the
princely couple. The equipages of the
ladies belonging to the household of the
Khedive and of prince Ibrahim brought
up the rear, followed and flanked by a
body of cavasscs. The carriage which
contained the Princess Zeiueb was
drawn by six horses. The streets were
lined with troops, the lorts thundered
out their salutes, and vast multitudes
thronged to witness the procession.—

Death of the Chimpanzee in the Lon
don Zoological Gardens.
“ Joe,” the chimpanzee, which lor
three years has had the honor of a sep
arate apartment in the monkey house
at the Zoological Gardens, died recently
ter about two month’s illness. Oi a!l
--the members of the ape tribe the chim
panzee is probably the most tractable,
and of all chimpanzees Joe was perhaps
the best tempered fellow that ever ex*
isted. The readiness he always exhib
ited to learn any new trick the ingenu
ity could devise was remarkable; and
the good temper he always displayed
when asked to perform them for the
benefit of the visitors was not less sur
prising He emulated the achievements
of Bloudin and Leotard with equal suc
cess, and seemed especially proud of him
self when he was ordered to go through
the series of gymnastic which embraced
the facts that L .ve made the names of
those menknown. all over the world.
If a nut were presented to him ho
would not creek it in the usual way, but
would place it under the donor’s foot,
and assist the process by administering
a sharp blow with his fist on the toes of
his unsuspecting visitor. He always
seemed devotedly attached to his keep
er, and when shut up close in his room
would summon him by repeated knocks
at the door. In the evening, when the
time for bidding him “good night”
approached, he U3ed frequently to go
into qnite a frenzy of grief, tearing his
hair, rolling on the floor, and screaming
out like a bad tempered, spoiled baby
with extra strong kings.
Nevertheless, he was really good tem
pered, and was never known to mall*
licicusly attempt to hurt any one. lie
would show his visitors to the door with
the utmost politeness, turning the foo
die and opening the door with-out. as
sistance, and shaking band, with his de
yarting guests. Joa had one fault. He
might have taught pickpockets a lesson
in the pilfering line of business which
would have borne dangerous fruit in a

A Wild Boar Hunt in the Fastnesses
near Bald Point, Ky.
On Saturday about one hundred and
fifty persons, with dogs, guns, Ac., met
in the public square of Union, organ
ized under the leadership of Mr. Clark
son, and proceeded to the farm of J. D.
Smith on Gunpowder, which a vicious
wild boar had visited the night previ
ous. Here Medoc, a noted dog belong
ing to Lucian Dickerson, found the
t-ail, and the entire pack was soon in
full cry.
After a run of mere than an hour
through the dense thickets and among
the bluffs, the boar broke cover toward
the open country, with the dogs in hot
pursuit. Here the hunt grew very ex
citing, the pursuers being frequently in
full view of the chase, and using their
guns whenever they could, and the dogs
(fox hounds) pressing the game closely,
but as yet unable to bring him to bay.
In fact, it was almost certain death for
one to approach him, his formidable
tusks proving such fearful and deadly
weapons of defence that he had up to
this time killed eight outright and
wounded four.
Finally, as he was crossing the Big
Bone road, near the residence of Eras
tus Garrison, a powerful bulldog, be
longing to Ira Percival of Union, was
let loose, and immediately attacked the
furious beast. Then ensued a desper
ate struggle. The boar fought as if he
knew his life was in the balance, and the
dog was equally game. The latter seiz
ed the maddened animal by the right
fore-shoulder, and in spite of stabs and
gashes from the sharp tusks held on
with the tenacity for which the breed
is noted. The hunters coming up join
ed in the battle with pistols, clubs uud
stones, and under the attack of the
combined forces the boar was at last
stretched or; the ground, conquered on
ly in death. On examination it was
found that during the chase he had re
ceived fourteen shots, all inflicting se
vere wounds. He weighed' about five
hundred pounds, and his tusks were
eight inches in length by actual meas
urement.
The chase lasted about four hours;
and a notable feature of the closing
scene was the fact that though the dog
was nearly torn to pieces and his antag
onist was covered -with wounds, neither
uttered a cry during the fierce death
struggle, but both were grim, silent, re
lentless and game to the very last., and
not until the boar was dead could the
dog be induced to release his hold.—

Southern Women.

people. She describes the people as
being exceedingly Rostoniauieh, who
look upon the South as a sort of ha f
civilized country with whom they re
member the Federal Government had a
slight difficulty a few yems since. The
following beautiful and touching tribute
paid the women of the South by the
fair correspondent, is as weii deserved
as it is gracefully expressed. After de
scribing a conversation with a Boston
lady, during which the latter is made
to say : “ i like your Southern women ;
they are very pretty and refined and
well-bred ; bat do you know they aU
ways seemed to me like dressed dolls.”
The Mississippi beauty says :
“ Sweet women of the South ! I
thought of you, as I had known you.
In your homespun dress or your plain
black robes; your eyes shining with
faith and hope, year steady white hands
binding ragged wounds, or pointing the
way to Heaven to dying eyes; your

An Englishman's Tribute to Leo.
Colonel Chcsney, of the English
army, has recently published a series of
military biographies. There are ten in
number, one of which is devoted to the
great and uobie Lee. Colonel, Chesney
thus concludes his sketch of our Ulus*
trious commander : The clay will come
when the evil passions of the great civ
il strife will sleep in oblivion, and North
and South do justice to each other’s mo
tives and forget each other’s wrongs.—
Theu history will speak with a cleat
voice of the deeds done on either side,
and the citizens of the whole Union do
justice to the memories of the dead,
aud place above all others the name of
the great chief of whom we have just
written. In strategy mighty, in battle
terrible, in adversity as in prosperity a
hero indeed, with the simple devotion
to duty and the rare purity of the ideal
Christian knight, he joined all the
kingly qualities of a leader of men. It
is a wondrous future, indeed, that lies
before America, but in her annals of
years to come, as in those of the past,
there will be found few names that can
rival ic unsullied lustre that of the he
roic defender of his native Virginia—
Robert Edmund Lee.”
A Race of Men who hwe not
vet Learned to Talk. —On the Is
land of Borneo, has been found a cer
tain race of wild creatures, of which
kindred varieties have been discovered
in the Philippine Islands, Terra del
Fuego, and in S@uth America. They
walk, usually, almost erect, on two legs,
and in that attitude measure about four
feet iu height. They construct no hab
itations, form no families, scarcely asso
ciate together, sleep in caves, feed on
snakes and vermin, on ants, eggs, and
on each other. They cannot be tamed
or forced to any labor, and are hunted
and shot among the trees, like the great
gorilla, of which they are a stunted
copy. W hon captured alive one finds
with surprise that their uncouth jab
bering sounds are- like articulate lan
guage. They turn up a human face to
gave at their captors, and females show
instincts of modesty. In fine, these
wretched beings are men an women.

THIRTY YEARS is certuiuly loug enough
time to prove the efficacy ct any medicine,
and that the Pain-Killer is deserving of all
its proprietor s claim for it, is amply proved
by the unparalleled popularity, it lias at
tained. It is a sure and effective remedy.
It is sold in almost every country in the

Pain is supposed to be the lot of us poor
mortals, as inevitable as.ueatli, and liable at
any time to come upon us. Therefore it is
important that remedial agents should beat

are made to feel the excruciating agony of
pain or the depressing influences of disease.
Such a remedial exists in Perry Davis’
