K 1 - Jorrx, an English clergyman 



and poet, born at Fairford, Gloucestershire, 

 April 25, 171)2; died at Bournemouth, March 

 -iG. He was the son of Rev. John Keble, 

 Fellow of Corpus Christi College, and for fifty- 

 two years vicar of Coin St. Alwyn's. Having 

 vd his early education under the parental 

 roof, young Koble entered Corpus Christi Col- 

 lege, where he graduated with first-class honors 

 in classics and mathematics at eighteen years of 

 Soon after he was elected Fellow of Oriel 

 College, and in 1813 took from thence his de- 

 gree of M. A., having gained the Chancellor's 

 prizes for an English K<say on " Translations 

 from the Dead Languages," and for a Latin 

 "ii ''A Comparison of Xenophon and 

 Julius Ctesar." In 1815 ho was ordained dea- 

 con, and the following year priest. About 

 1823 he accepted a curacy at Fairford, and 

 filled successively those of other small parishes 

 contiguous. In 1825 he accepted the curacy of 

 Hnrsley, but not long after was called home to 

 Faii-ford on account of family sickness, where ho 

 remained until 1835. From 1831 to 1842, Mr. 

 K el >le was professor of poetry at Oxford, and 

 his lectures delivered in Latin attracted large 

 audiences. In 1835 he was presented the vicar- 

 :ILV t' Ilur-lvy, with Otterbourno and Amp- 

 tield, near Winchester. Among his publications 

 are "The Christian Year" (1927), which has 

 '. through 92 edition?, with a circulation 

 still in vigor. "Lyra Innocentium" (1846); 

 some of the poems in " Lyra Apostolica ; " a 



pamphlet on the " Admission of Disaenters to 

 Oxford "(1K54); ' Profane Dealing u ith Holy 

 Matrimony" (1847); and nn arti<-l: for the 

 /!rit I'M/I frit',,- "On the l.ifo and Writing 

 of Sir Walter Scott" (1838). Mr. Keble was 

 one of tho authors of the "Tracts for tho 

 'limes," or, as they are usually called, '-Tin; 

 Oxford Tracts," and (sympathized very strongly 

 with Dr. I'usi-y in his views, and later with tho 

 Ritualists; but his natnre was too gentle and 

 loving for bitter or acrimonious controversy. 

 His wife, to whom he was most tenderly at- 

 tached, and who had been in all respects a 

 sympathixing helpmeet, survived him bnt two 

 months. Since his death, his numerous friends 

 have initiated tho project of erecting a mem- 

 orial college, in commemoration of his character 

 and labors at Oxford, and 150,000 were sub- 

 scribed for this purpose in a few weeks. 



KENTUCKY. This State enjoyed a great. -r 

 degree of quiet and prosperity during the year 

 than had been expected. The civil war, as 

 Governor Bramlette remarks in his review of 

 the year (annual message, 1867), had left be- 

 hind it some evils of a civil as well as of a poli- 

 tical character. There was an increase of law- 

 less spirits, and a consequent increase of law- 

 less acts ; yet law and order have prevailed in 

 the State far beyond the hopes of the most san- 

 guine. Harmony and friendly feeling have 

 been established for the most part among those 

 classes of citizens who were but recently arrayed 

 against each other on the battle-field. To pro- 

 mote these sentiments, tho Governor adopted 

 tho policy of granting pardons to soldiers of 

 either army who were charged by indictment 

 in tho courts for offences alleged to have been 

 committed by them as soldiers during the war. 

 He states that this policy has been rewarded 

 with the happiest results. The harvests of 1866 

 were abundant ; and all the material interests 

 of the State prospered, notwithstanding the 

 great change in the labor system consequent 

 upon the emancipation of the slaves. 



The finances of the State are reported in a 

 satisfactory condition. The indebtedness on De- 

 cember 31, 1866, was $5.324,651.79. The re- 

 sources of the sinking fund were estimated at 

 $8,127,681.01, and there was a balance in tho 

 treasury of $1,864,444.18. Kentucky's claim 

 upon the Federal Government for reimburse- 

 ment of expenditures during the war has not 

 yet been paid. It shows a balance of $2,438,- 

 347.91 in favor of the State. Every eftbrt has 

 been put forth by the Governor to procure the 

 payment of at least $500,000 on account, which 

 would enable the State to discharge its out- 

 standing war debt ; but thus far without suc- 

 cess. The Governor recommends the passage 

 of a general law authorizing the commissioner 

 of the sinking fund to apply, from time to time, 

 any surplus, over estimated expenses, to the 

 purchase of tho outstanding bonds of the State. 



On January 17, 1866, tho Union members of 

 the Legislature, nearly every representative o' 

 tho Union party Being \>rosent, met and adopted
