Au explanation of the , profusion
of colonels in Kentucky : is to be
found in part in the Governor's
privilege to appoint colonels on his
staff, ad libitum. Gov. Blackburn
appointed sixty in Louisville alone,
with proportionable numbers for
the back counties. It is believed
that no Govereor of Kentucky ever
had his entire staff together at one
time. . There is no public hall in
Kentucky big enough to hold it.

About Chrysanthemums.
The chrysanthemum is now in
bloom. It is the fashionable flower
of the Fall. Although of compara
tively recent introduction into
America it has been known and es
teemed in some other countries for
centuries past. i
The chrysanthemum is a wonder-
ful flower, and has many varieties.
It hajTyellow, white, red, purple,
variously colored flowers. The
native horticulturists have found it
comparatively easy tp modify its
appearance and color. There is an
old statement that the Soochow
gardeners take it when it is a foot
above the groun l and nluck oil the
terminal bud at the top. After a
few days one bud originates two.
These again are decapitated ahd a
similar result follows; so that when
the autumn arrives the number of
flowers on one stalk is very great,
and they grow intoa sort of round
hemisphere like a cart covering.
The chrysanthemum flower is
fabled by the Chinese to have; the
power of conferring immortality. To
obtain the result it must be eaten
with the fruit of'the wutung by the
believing. In "Szechuan there is in the
Confucian temple of the capital of
the province an image of the genius
of the chrysanthemum. The being
represented is said to be a girl who
drank the wine of the chrysanthe
mum flower in the Han palace, and
thus became immortal. Thosejstu
dents who pray to her are successful
in the examinations. In a cave of
the same city there is a paintjingj
drawn upon the wall, of a woman
holding a chrysenthemum in j-her
hand. Before her is represented a
monkey. She is called ''The Lady
of f,he Chrysanthemum," and stu
dents who pray to her have remark
able dreams; the intimations con
veyed in these dreams are wonder
ful to relate, sure to come true, say
the native accounts. The Chrysanl
themum Sinesse has probably for
two centuries been well known in
Europe. The florets, whether of
the ray or disk, are never bluejbut
they appear with almost every other
possible color. The books say that,
the Chinese must for fqng ages liave
been carefully improving the plant,
and that their great richness in de
velopment in a variety of proper
ties has risen from sporadic pecu
Jiarity andlntermixtui e with .allied
species'nnknown in Europe
n id ay night. The News tnd 06
jscmr says that the performance
was one or the nest ever witnessed
at .the theatre there for a long time.
