Down on Second street, where the second-hand merchant and pawn- broker holds undisputed sway, Col. Sam Crossland, the well known May: field attorney, is a well known deity. His name is a by-word itself, and tradition has it that this spirit of admiration so prevalent in that section originated several yea! ago, when Col. Crossland was com- monwealth’s attorney for the district. It used to be an every-day affair that some article that formerly be- longed to the lawyer was knocked down to some rural purchaser at an amazingly low price, at least that’s what the sagacious merchant told the yok Col. Crossland is one of those “old time fiddlers,’ and if he owned all the fiddles that have been sold as his he would have had enough in his day to stock a first-class music store, or shotguns, eithe The other day a farmer went into a store to buy a shotgun, He was shown one. “Do you know,’’ confidentially the merchant, ‘‘Sam Crossland you know Sam Crossland—he paid $75 for that guo, got busted and sol! itto me for ten. You can have it tor $10 and I'll give you a guarantee with it.’” The yokel knew Sam Crossland, a8 most everybody does, aud the fact that he once owned that gun, and paid $75 for it was sufficient. He bought it, and took the guarantee. A-sbort time afterwards the rustic speculator dropped into Lang Bros.’ drug store with it. He proudly held wt excellence | te sitt in the Baptist Seminary, at the state convention in session at Hop- kinsville. 8 already announced through the press, the convention passed resolutions condemning the doctor. 1 We The drummer boys of Kentucky have returned from the National T.

It used to belong to Crossland, he said ‘The gun, as the connoiseurs saw at ence, was of the 64 variety, and the crowd gave the tarmer the laugh.

This seems to augur ill for some of the other counties in the state, as well as many in other s'ates. Yesterday’s Courier-Jouroal said “Kentucky is to be invaded by & great aerial army drawn up in battle line and ready to move, Your cor- respondent sends warning on gover ment authority that myriads of pe odical cicadas are to take possession of things this month in the following counties: Barren, Graves and Trigg. ‘+A time-worn superstition attaches coincidences to cidada years and out- breaks of war. While we are fight- ing the Spaniards abroad we are to be invaded at home in eighteen dif- ferent states of the Union in this fair month of June by these harbingers of bloody strite. A strange coinci- dence, indeed. “The agricultural department, which diligently keeps record of all insect plagues, is preparing to make a careful study of this strange bug's doings. It is the only periodical in- sect in the world whose appearance can be accurately forecasted, both as to time and location, needless to say as to such small areas The schedule of the goveroment en- tomologists shows that it is preparing to attack the trees of city and coun- try alike in two great armies, One, known in entomological parlance as “Brood XVI will capture {lli- nois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Penn- , West Virginia and second ry, “Brood v 1,” will strike in Arkan- Georgia, Kentucky, Mlinois, a, Louisiana, Missouri, Miss- issippi and Tennessee. ‘The first or northern army is what is known seventeen year brood.

Speaking to a New Orteans Yicayune represcutative recently ho said: “I doubt if pen can exaggerate the appalling state of the people in and around that town, and not only there, but wherever I went in the provinces really in the control of the Spaniards. It was enough to break one’s heart te contemplate the mul- titude of the starving, and it looked like an endless and hopeless task to attempt even to sapply those garv- ing mouths. It is a great mistake to imagine that these sufferers are all hegtoes or a low class of whites. 1 saw numbers of people who wore evi- dently wel iad and cultured, re- duced to that stage of privation that they looked:like specters. Dave you ever seen a populace of starving peo- ple? It is au avtul sight; it almost curdles the blood. You hardly rec ognize tha people as fellow hutman be- ings.

Whoa we oamo back from South Afrioa last year I had an Jrishman in the orew who came to mg all doubled up with rheumatism. Rheumatism ig theie great card, you know, because wo One gan prove they haven't got it. Other things one can tell about from the symptoms; but if aman says he’s raokell with rheumatism, there's no way of telling that he isn't, and, of course, it incapacitates him for work. This Trishman had sciatica—and he had it bad, He groaned and moaned, and ceuldn’t walk a step or straighten his bgck. Some way or other, I felt sure it wasn’t the real thing, but I de- ed I'd tey him, I knew oanteriz- ing was a good thing for sciatica, and I thought, if he really had it, the burning would do him good, and, if he was shamming, the idea of the treatment would scare him out.

This date has a cer- tain magic about it, over which the colored people in this section of the state, seem to have no control. They come here by the thousands, by river and railas well as by many miles overland, They have kept it up for years and will keep it up in years to come, The fact that our cil easily accessible by rail and river to- gether with the season of the yea and other inducements, make it a place where people come from every~ where to enjoy themselves oa the great 8th. Itis not our purpose to point out the historical importance of the day. That was done in an art! cle which appeared on the third of January last, but euf- fice it to say that this day has become a fixiture with the colored people in this city. It is something wonderful (he hold it has upon them and the ex- tent to which they go in its celebra- tion, Almost everybody within miles of this city, have at some time attended these celebrations. The white business element of the city should open their eyes, if they are not slready open, to these facts, anJ offer every reasonable inducement to have the meeting here cach year, as carries with it an enormous finan- cial benefit to any city wherever it should be held, It is in their public displays that the mass of the colored people gain the most sttention and make their strongest in pression is a pro- cessional auimal, and rothing appeals to him with so much foree as a large body of individuals on a march, He likes the measured step, the flu'ter of flags, the soulsstirring music sud all the suggestions of concentrate: irresistable energy, Such spectacles are the object lessons that remain with lim longer than any he learns. The jubilees, celebrations, pageants and parades of civilization have far more effect upon the popalar mind than weare apt to think. ‘They are sources of enlightenment that it will not do to overlook in enlisting means and chances of progress. The world is taught by them in a way that is beyond the education of books, and that appeals to the senses with con- clusive power, There are special advantages possessed by the colored people in this relation, They have a great desl of the glitter and pictur- esqueness, and to see them in public array is at once delightful and in- structive; and they could poorly af- ford to dispense with It asa part of the philosophy of happiness, 1 OF AUGUST.
