GROTESQUE PEOPLE. | A Number of Them Whe Have Hoon Pound | in the Interior of Kentucky. The grotesqueness of of thei characters in the novels of Charles Dickens is accounted as preposterous | and impossible by American readers. | The monotony of "individual character | with us apparently makes the material for literature meager. Yet there are quaint personages in every community, | and heroes and heroines of novels are | walking about among us every day, correspondent from New Haven, Nelson county, in this State, writes to the Post an account of a family wherein odd sur- names have ran riot, In the family | Bible are written the names of * London Judge,” “Revenue Belle,” “China! Figure,” “Reptile Kingdom,” “Hebrew | Fashion,” “ Greck Wisdom" and ‘Hell | in the Kitchen.” These are the child- ren of Mr, Hamilton, three of them girls and three boys. The domestic oecupa- tion of Hell in the Kitchen” is obvi- ous from the appellation by which she was consecrated at birth to the work her name implies. Of course wo living creature coming under the control of Mr. Hamilton could escape the freaks of his nomenclature, and when *“ London Judge” and “Revenue Belle,” girls, go about their plowing, it is with such oxen as “Buck” and “Bolly.” Not content with the original name of fon. don Judge,” Mr. Hamilton has added to her the nickname of “Squeesle Follet.” “Hamilton goes to Louisvills once a year and purchases clothing similar to meal sacks,” says our veracious correspond- ent, and these garments last the child- ren an entire year; the meal is then scattered upon the garret floor to the depth of several feet to prevent it from molding. Such is the outline of the circumstances of a remarkable man. He is not accounted peculiar in other re- speocts, and is master of his own house- hold, an intelligent man of comfortable estate, and a good citizen. Nelson county is one of the best in the State of Kentuoky. All who are familiar with the talk of any country town are able to recall many similar histories. In Jessamine county a man by the name of Bowen would never enter his house except by the back door, and never leave it except by the front. He selected early in life the spot for his burial, beneath an old oak trae, remote from all other graves, in an open field, and there was buried. Mackey Duncan of the same county, whose occupation, that of a carpenter, is altogether unfavorable to the pursuit of knowledge, is one of the most learned men, after a fashion, in America. He knows the date of every important event in the world’s history, year, month and day, and, when essential, the minute. His knowledge of the family history of all prominent people is something mar- velous. » One of the best pictures painted by Gen. S. W, Price, produced in his early career, and, still in his possession, is that of “Old Sclomon, the Grave- Digger.” Years ago his bronzed and hardened face was familiar in the streets of Lexington. He was rarely seen in his tattered garments without the stump of acigar in his month. He was a con- noisseur in this article and kept himself supplied with fragmentary Havanas, the refnse of the street. He was a grave- digger worthy of Hamlet, and being possessed of both humor and sent: ment, he was well capable of reflec. tions on the Yoricks of his day. Old Aunt Maury, the colored mgpicker better known as the judge, has been a figure in that Athens of the West as long as the memory of a generation or two. Industrions in her pursuit, she has ac- cumulated a few hundred dollars, but independent enough to live in a dry goods box surrounded by .her rags. It 1s painful to say that this temporary domicile was utterly consumed by fire a winter or so ago, the judge only escaping with the rags on her back. To return to the district where both the cattle and those who eat them are well fed, if not fat. Was old man Billy Cook, of Nicholasviile, ever known to drive a horse of any other than a cream color? There was Spriggins, also, who lived in the pugnacious days of fist fights and personal encounters, who was a man well connected and educated. His general course was in the middle of the street, especially at night, a stone in his pocket or hands. When asked the reason of this habit, he used to reply: “Oh, a man never knows who is waiting around the corner for him.” In Woodford county lives a man, the owner of 1,000 acres of the best land in the world, who ac- cumulates enough money every vear to add 100 acres to his possessions, who only buys what is absolutely essential to existence. A few years ago he married. During his courtship he bought a buggy. Starting to Lexington on his first trip after marriage his wife spoke of buying some articles necessary to the house. ‘Have you any money for the purpose? he asked. “Why, haven't you?” “No.” Whereupon he at once drove back, nailed the buggy in the car- riage house, whence it has never emerged. The sanity of the hundreds of queer characters within the experience of every man cannot be fairly questioned. They exist in every community. There is a great deal of monotony in American life, but grotesque individuals, ss well as people with romantic histories, and people with hearts, all subject to the artist's pen, are everywhere.— Louisrills {Ky.) Post, A Race Between Geese and Turkeys, In Percy Fitzgerald's ** Life of George IV.” this humorous anecdote is told: During a convivial party at the Carlton House Mr. Hanger designedly intro- duced the subject of the traveling pow- ers of the turkey and the goose. The Prince of Wales, who plated great reli- ance on his judgment in subjects of this nature, backed his opinion. A mateh was made with Mr. Berkely of twenty turkeys against twenty geese, fora dis- tance of ten miles, the race to be for $2,500; and then as Mr. Hanger and the turkey party hesitated not to lay two to one in favor of ‘their birds, the prince did the same to a considerable amount, not in the least ing that the whole was a deep-laid plan to abstract a sum of money from his poekets. The prince deputed My. Hanger to select twenty of the most wholesome and high-feathered birds which could be procured, and on the day pointed he and his party cf turkeys, and Mr. Berkley and his party of geese, set off to decide the match. For the first three hours everything seemed to indi- cate that the turkeys would be the win. ners, as they were then two miles in ad- vance of the geese; but as night came on the turkeys began to stretch out their necks toward the branches of the trees which lined the sides of the road. In vain the prince attempted to urge them on with his pole, to which a bit of red cloth was attached, in vain Mr. Hanger dislodged one from itsroosting- | place only to see three or four others comfortably perching among the branches; in vain was the barley strewn upon the road. In ‘the meantime the fteese came waddling on, and in a short time passed the turkeys; whose party were all bray among the trees attempt- ing to dislodge the birds; but further progress was found impossible, and the geese were declared the winners. A —— Population of {he West, At the beginning of the century the population of the great West, which is now about 20,000,000, was a little more | than 50,000.

If you say anything about a neighbor or friend, or even a stranger, say no ill It is a Christian and brotherly charity to suppress our knowledge of evil of an other, unless the evil have such rela tion to society that our higher public duty compels us to bear accusing wit ness. And if it be a true charity to keep our knowledge of such evil to ourselves, how mueh more should we refuse to spread evil report of one another, Dis creditable as the fact is, it is by far the commonest tendency to suppress the good we know of our neighbors and friends. Wa act in this matteras though we felt that by. pushing our fellows down or back a peg we were putting ourselves up ol forward, We are jealous of commendation unless we got the larger share. Social conversation, as known to every observer, is largely made up of what 1s best understood by the term scandal, It would be difficult to find a talkative group, of either sex, who could spend an even ng or an how together without evil speech of some body. ** Blessed are the peacemakers, is not the maxim by which we are chief! governed in our treatment of personal ties.

Inthe erup- tion of Cotopaxi, which he witnessed, the ashes rose in a column twenty thon- sand feet above the rim of the crater, which was itself nearly twenty thousand feet “high, and spread over an area of many miles. On a microscopic exami- nation the fineness of the ashes was found to vary from four thousand to twenty-five thousand particles to the grain in weight. From observations of the area over which the ashes fell Mr. Whymper calculated that at least 2,000,000 tons must have been ejected in this one eruption.

By an almost super human effort he contrived to re-enter the gallery, by that time plunged in all but total darkness, and while groping about among the overthrown caught hold of a little girl insensible from fright whom he carried out into the street, fully believing her to be his own daughter, She proved, however, to be a strange child.
