of the State. I trust, now that you are again in aeS' sion, that you will, without distinction o: party, feel that your first and paramount duty is to make the appropriations which the exigencies of the public «ervi2e so manifestly demand.

The Constitution of the. State in terms declares that "it shall be the duly of the General Assembly to provide by law for thesupport of institutions for the education of the deaf and dumb and the blind, and also for the treatment of the insane."

Fvery member of this General Assembly, in common with myself, has, taken an oath to support the Constitution of which the section quoted is a part. Here then is a plain duty, binding upon every member, regardless of his party affllia^ tionB or relationship. Now, shall a plain duty like this, concerning which honest, intelligent minds can not differ, bo subordinated to or made dependent upon any other question of party politics upon which there may bo an honest and an earnest difference of opinion? I trust n&t. I hope you will, with the least practicable delay, make the necessaay appropriations, and especially those required' to meet the liabilities already contracted by the Trustees of the State^Norm'al School, the Commissioners of tbe .House ot Refuge and tho Truslees of the Soldiers' Home. The managers of these .Institutions have been greatly embarrassed by reason of tho fact that provision has not been made for the payment of those debts and the gentlemen who have-made- Tidvances for these Institutions have been put to inconveniences by reason of the non-payment of these advances.

Having, at the opening of the last regular sessien, given to you suoh information touching tho condition of the State a9 was thought necessary, and having recommended suoh measures as were judgod expedient, I deem it only necessary to refer you to the messsge then oommunicated, inBtc&d of restating the same information, and reiterating tbo same re-, commendations. I beg, however, before closing, to submit for your consideration a supplemental report of the Trustees of the Soldiers' Home setting forth the necessity which exists ftfr suelf'an institution, and demonstrating thatitshould receive from the State a more liberal support than was proposed to be given by the General Appropriation bill which passsd the House at tbe last session.

By the Kevenue bills pased at the late session,-the State Debt Sinking Fond tax was reduced one-half, or from, twenty cents to ten cents on each one hundred dollars in value of property, and theState Debt tax proper was reduced one-fourth, or from twonty oents to fifteen cents.— This is certainly a satisfactory reduction, and, it local taxation could be reduced in a corresponding ratio, there would be little cause of complaint of the burtfiStia. of taxation. With this large reduction, the State will still be in a condition to make all the appropriations contemplated at the regular session, and inorease the* allowance to the Soldiers' Home to the extent asked for by the Trustees of that Institution. I believe that duty to~oar disabled soldiers, and to the orphan children of those who have passed away, requires this at our hands. A careful study of the facts stated in the -supplemental report of tbe Trustees will convince any unprejudiced mind of the necessity of such an institution, aud of increased liberality in your appropriations for its enlargement aud support. 1 herewith also respectfully submit for your consideration i\ supplemental report^ of tbe Directors of the State Prison South, showing that, for reasons tiierela set

fdrtb, the finances of Mid prison are not in so favorable a condition as was represented the late annual report of the Directors. This discrepancy grows out of I the fact, arthe supplemental report alleges, that the late Warden had contracted debt* on account of the prison, no account of wiflct. was contained on the books, and no report of which was made -1 to the Directors. This supplemental re-

to remain until the

morning. His family of seven children remained at this home in the care of his eldest daughter, a young lady about flfteen or sixteen years. At ten o'clock Mr. Hurst saw a bright light in the direction of his residence, and hastened toward it as rapidly as possible. He had more than a mile to travel before he reached it and when he arrived at the scene it was too late to render any assistance. Four of his children had met death in the terrible fire, and the three survivors were standing helpless and nearly naked in the yard. One little boy of 12 years, had exhibited wonderful daring and selfpossession. When he was roused by the fire he ran to the assistance of the younger children, of whom he saved three, and he was engaged in drawing the fourth from the flames when he was destroyed by the fall of the burning roof. Such heroism as was exhibited by this brave child has rarely been excelled.

It is not known whether the fire originated in an accident or was the work of an incendiary. The children were evidently sleeping at the time, else they might easily have escaped. It is probable that those who were destroyed were suffocated by the smoke, so that when the flames reached them they were insensible to pain. It is a remarkable fact that only the youngest children were saved. The eldest, including the young lady in charge of the house, were almost certainly suffocated before the alarm had been given. Such a terrible calamity has never occurred within our recollection in this section of country, and Mr. Hurst has the sympathy of all our people in this great loss.—<Maysville Republican> =====

THE AMERICAN LION.

One Killed in Monroe County, Miss, (jtse Prow Colnmbui, (Mil!,) Index.] .from a gentleman of our city, who conversed with a person tbat knows of what he speaks, we obtain information of tin extraordinary event ocurring in Moniioe county last week.

Mr. George Coleman, a young man of tWenty-tbree or four years, living three miles from Prairie Station, was iaformed ane day last week by a sorvant girl that sbe had ju9t seen "a bear as big as a dow in the edge of tba woods," a short distance from Mr. Coleman's place. Her efxeited manner at once roused bis curiosity, and arming himsolf with his Spenoer rifle, loaded ,with tweive balls, (a piece that he had used in tbe late war), he started out in search of tbe. monster. He Was accompanied .by a servant and a Very large fierce bull dog. Arrived at the spot, a brief survey soon discovered to him the object of his search in the shape of a genuine lion. The beast, at tjie sight of tho men, sprang into the branches of a dead, tree, and there wait ed further developments. Mr. Coleman, *(bo is described as very cool and daring, •did not allow him to w»it long, for elevating hiB tifie, be at once discharged several loads at him which caused tbe beast to spring from his position on his foe. Quick as thought, Mr. Coleman continued firing till he had exhausted all his charges, the second shot, as be afterwards discovered, passing clear through the body of the beast without' disabling him.

And now camo the tug of war. The lion, infuriated with his wound, and with glaring eyes, .reached the ground near 'Mr. OolemaV' ftt tho first leap, and pade W second spring a moment afterward.-— Nothing but the courage of his dog heiv

saved Mr. C. from instant destruction.— The noble animal threw himself on the king of beasts ere he reached biB victim, and, seizing him by the nose, though knocked about as a feather, fought him so tenaciously that the lion abandoned his purpose, and by a single bound, seated himself on the low limb of a tree about twelve feet from the ground. At this moment Mr. Coleman's servant handed him a double-barrel gun, which he had brought along. He advanced almost immediately under the beast, took an aim that was to seal his own fate for life or death, fired both barrels, and brought the Hon dying to the ground.

On measurment, the lion was found to be nearly nine feet in length, and to weigh one hundred and eighty pounds.— He had a whit&spot on his breast, waB a tawny color, and showed all the marks of an American lion.. Dr. Hurd, of Monroe, who is considerably skilled in natural history, says there is no doubt of his species, and has his head for preservation.

Our readers are assured there is no humbug about this affair. The only way we can account for the presence of a lion in this country is to identify this one with the animal that escaped from the menagerie at Forrest, Miss., about two weeks since. Both are described as male?, and of a ferocious temper.

The Memory or Lincoln in France There wbs recently held in Paris a meeting to commemorate the mnmory. of Abraham Lincoln. After Professor Laboulaya came Mr. Cochin, the principal orator. He traced tbe lifo of Lincoln from his boyhood up to his death, and held him up as a model of a patriot, statesman aud Christian mau. He quoted from his speeches and writings to show that ho wtdPa great political thinker, and that his ideas were of that class of elementary ideas on which great governments may be built and great deeds accomplished.

If you have not yet awftkened to the fact in America, says a Paris letter, you will soon do so, tbat Lincoln is hereafter to take a stand as one of the great land marks in history. If you do not yet com' prehend the immensity of the

To Let—Inquire Within. The lady flounced in, in rage. Two young damsels and a spinster aunt followed, and after a lengthy inspection of the premises, camo to a state council in the parlor. "I like the house very much," said the gpinster aunt, solemnly, "and with a few alterations, I will engage it for my broth ei^a family." •'Very well, ma'em," ssid Nabum, rubbing his bands, and scenting a speedy ter mination to his trial?, "Name'em" '•The door handles must all be gilded, and I should like the house newly papered in velvet and gold, and repainted, and the partition between the parlors taken down and replaced by an arch, and an extension dining room built on behind, and anew stylo of range in the kitchen, and a dumb waiter put in, and new bronze chandeliers throughout, and "Hold on, ma'am—just hold on one minute," said Nahum, feebly gasping for breath. "Wouldn't you like the old house carted away and a new one put in its place? I think it would beratberless .troublethan to make the trifling changes you suggest." "Sir I" said the spinster, loftily. "I don't tbinlc. we can agree, ma'am." "Very well—very well. Come, girh."

With prim dignity the lady marshaled her two charges out, muttering something about the "extraordinary ideas of landlords now-a-days."

While Nahum, wildly rumpling his iron gray bair with his hands, soliloquied: "Weli, if Job had b9en alive, and had a house to let, there never would have been a Book of Job written. There goes that everlasting bell again I I'll haul it out by the roots if this thing goes on much longer. I'll tear down tbe bill and put up the place at auction."

Another lady—but quite different from the other—a slender little cast down-lady, with ahead that drooped like a lily of tho valley, and a dress of brown silk, that had been mendod and turned and retrimmed, and even Nahum Briggs. man and bachelor though he was, could see how shabby it was. Yet she was pretty, with big blue eyes and shining brown hair and choeks tinged with a fair, fleeting color, where tho velvety roses of youth had once bloomed in vivid carmine. And a goldon-haired little laSBie clung to her dress, as the tiny lily buds to a blooming chime of flower bells.

She looked up, starting with a sudden flush of recognition. And then Barbara turned very pale, and began to weep, with the little goldenhaired girl olinging to her skirt, and wailing.

Mamma, mamma—what's the matter, mamma?" "Nothing, now," said Barbara, resolutely brushing away tho tears. "If you please, Mr. Briggs, I will look at the house I am a widow now, and very poor, and 1 think of keeping a boarding house to earn my daily bread. I hope the rent is not very high." "We'ii talk about the rent afterward,'' said Nahum, fiercely swallowing down a big lump in his throat that threatened to ahoke bim. "Come here, little girl, and kiss me I used to know jour mamma when she wasn't any bigeer than you are."

Barbara, with her blue eyos still drooping, went all over the house without findNo.410. ing a word of fault, and Nahum Briggs walked at her side, wondering if it was really fifteen years since the June sunshine lay so brightly on tbo clover field. '•I think the house is beautiful^" said meek Barbara. "Will you rent it to me, Nahum?" "Well, yes,'' said Nehuin, thoughtfully, 'Til let you have my house if you want it, Barbara.'' "With the privilege of keeping a few boarders.'" "No, ma'amF

Barbara stopped and looked wistfully at him. "But I don't think you understand how verv poor I am, Mr. Briggs." "Yes, I do." "I lei! you what, Barbara,'' said Mr. Briggs, dictstoridlly, '•I'll give you the privilege of keeping just ooe boarder, and him you have got to keep all your life long, if you once take him.-' "I dou't think I quite understand you, Nabum Briggs," said Barbars, but she blushed very bccomingly, and we are raiher inclined to think tbat she told a naughty little fib. "What do you say to me for a boarder, Barbara?" said the old bachelar, taking b«th the widow's hands ia his,

Barbara,

we were young fools enco, but that is no reason why w« should be oid fools now. I like you just as well as I overdid, and I'll do my best to be a good husband to you, and a good father to your little girl,

if youlJljbe my wife, Bsibi ara blushed again, and henUted,

but Nahum was not to be deluded thus. "Shall I take down the sign, 'To Let, Barbara?" "Yes," she murmured, almost under her breath.'

So Nahum went deliberately out, and coolly tore down the bill, to the greet disappointment and astonishment of a party of rabid house hunters, who were just ascending the steps. "And when Bhall we be married. Bar# baro?" he next demanded. "In the cummer, perhaps," said Barbara, Blyly. "To«morrow," said Nahum, decisively, and to-morrow it was. "Upon my word, Barbara," said Nahum on the first day of May, as be watch» ed his wife's blooming face behind the coffee urn, "you can't think how much jollier it is with you for a houeskeeper than that bag, Mrs. Parley."

Barbara only laughed, and said "he was a dear, good old stupid." So the probabilities are that neither Mr. Nahum Briggs nor his brown stone house will be in the market again as "To lot—inquire within."

As Nahum Briggs stood looking at hor, there came back to him the sunshiny daysrof youth, afield of blooming clover crimsoned the June light like waves of blood, and a blue-eyed girl leaning over tho fence with her bright hair barred with level sunset gold, and be knew that he was standing face to face with Bar bara Wylie, the girl he quarrelled with years and years ago, and whose blue ey had kept him a bachelor all his life long. "This house is to be let, I believe?" she asked timidly, with a littie quiver in her mouth. "I believed it is, fiarbRra Wylie."
