KENTUCKY.

On the It'll Of August, Kentucky III
augurates the fall elections. Contrary
10 usual custom, the canvass Is o toniy
an interesting one to those at dis
but an exciting and holly con-
tested mi to those within the precincts
of the State. Tho Democracy Of Ken
tueky Is badly demoalized. When a
great political party begins to concede
n It's opponents principles and meas
ures It has opposed with extreme Bit
,erness and great unanimity for o
than a generation, it only shows that
, the party Is becoming morally and po-
l~itlcally weak; but when these conees-
slons are opposed in its own ranks It
shows the organization to be worse
than weak-divided and inharmoniou'.
This Is the position In which the
Kentucky Bourbons find themselves.
They have been accustomed to such
overwhelming victories that the very
possibility Of defeat Is sufficient to
dismay them and to inspire the Re-
publicans. II Is true that three years
~ the Democrats carried Kentucky
by $4,000 majority, and again In the
following year by $1,000. But when
these elections took place the colored
citizens ofthe State were still disfran-
chised. They number about 10000.
At the Congressional elections OF last
year fully one-half of them were de-
tered BY 4 w%ell-founded fear Of the
Kuklux organization from voting. But
the other half went to the polls and the
Democratic majority was cut down to
$1,000, a Republican gain in three
years Of $4,000. This year, thanks to
the vigorous and really plucky canvass
the Republicans are making, a much
larger proportion Of the whole negro
vote will b. brought out. Then, too,
the fact seems to be established that
the party is steadily gaining strength
among the white people of the State.
It Is full Of prosclyting zeal, it acts on
the aggressive, and it is making COLI
verts. And, finally, 1t goes into the
present fight with much better auspices
than have been vouchsafed it in pre-
yious years.

Mountains. II must either strike the
land with violent conclusion or else 1t
must exercise an attraction upon the
earth. But little after eleven o'clock
of October 9Th (actually at the same
time that the conjunction of the sun and
moon will raise the great tidal wave
above five hundred miles east of Flor
ida), the earth on the other side will feel
the comets conclusion or attraction.
If the Encke comet strikes the earth,
even with no greater force than enough
to knock down few little mountains in
Northern India, while it drags its yapory
appendage across the map Of China, it
win readjust the relations Of land and
water on our side Of the world, prevent
ing the apprehended tidal wave and
deluge. We must confess that our natn-
raj curiosity would be gratilied with
the novel and peculiar spectacle Of a
tidal wave, but when astronomy thus in-
terposes to render il impossible, we must
submit to the dispensation. What with
the spectroscope and the aid Of the mag
netic telegraph in making and recording
observations, the diligent, vigilant and
llEtlthh EtdAtls VI NHb StdiS uhNt DcSOt4N
we'll posted in celestial mechanics. They
know about what is going to happen.
This counteracting effect Of comet on
one side Of the earth at the same time
that the joint and concurrent sun and
moon are heaping up the ocean waters
on our side, ought TO increase our FEVER
ence for astronomical science, and renew
our confidence in the arrangement Of
things in general But if there should
prove to be any errors in the elaborate
caleplation of elements, orbits, pertur-'
batiohs, and Fesistances, so that the
comet should be few hours to9 late, we
exonerate the astronomers from all
blame in advance, being fully aware
that they had no intention or desire to
play upon the hopes or fears of con
fiding public. While they know what is
going on in interplanetary spaces, they
are not presumed to have entire control
over the long-tailed projectiles Of the
sky which frightened the superstitious
in olden times as harbingers Of evil, and
vbieb frightens the moderns with fears
of collisi0s. ..-.-.

Encke'a Comet Sn0ktnE lth AOr-
rid Hair over the Indian Ocean-
Conjunction of the SUN and Moon
a COunter-Irrttnnt for the TihaI
wave.
The New Orleans Picayune furnishes
the following startling, but on the whole
rather reassuring, information concern
ing certain planetary and meteoric con-
dtions which it expects will occur with
in the next twenty-four hours:
Encke predicted the reappearance Of
the Pons comet in 1922. but he said it
would not be visible in Europe. 1t was
not visible as suggested, but on the other
side of our planet, in New South Wales,
Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Provincial
Governor, had private observatory and
a personal telescope through which he
saw the Pons comet as per date OF
Encke calculation. The German sayan,
with a perseverance thoroughly Teu-
tonic, labored with the parabolic meteor
until he extorted the secret Of its pc
riods, and arrived at the fact that once
every three aud one-third years three
years and twenty-nine one-hundredths)
the Pons comet came back from its trip
outside the orbit Of Jupiter 10 visit the
sun, the earth and the moon. When
the long-taiIed phenomenon is nearest
to the sun, it is only one-third the re-
spectful distance which the earth is com
PEELED to keep from that useful lumin-
ary And when it goes furthest away
upon its triennial trip its aphelion
is four times the earth's distance.
Some of our one hundred and forty
comets go further, but it takes them
longer, and for few Of them we shall
be obliged to wait patiently for some
hundreds Of years. II the astronomer
can find out the exact position and time
of comet at three distiset consecutive
periods or points, he gets its course, its
eclipse or its parabOla, and then he eau
tell about how many thousand years il
will require to get back, for they all re-
visit the glimpses' Of our Phebus from
time TO time.
Respecting the heavenly messenger in
question, Herr Encke made the further
discovery that each successive trip Of the
comet was two hours and thirty minutes
shorter than its predecessor, which hap
pens thus: the comet goes through some
dense medium; this decreases centrifu-
gal force; this gives more attraction OF
the sun when the comet comes around
the half mile stretch nearest the sun;
this shortens the comet track, and so
it comes under the string two and a half
hours earlier every heat. This is be-
cause lis major axis is shortened The
consequence OF oil these discoveries was
that astronomers have ceased to honor
the hairy and nebulous visitor with the
name Of Pons, but now they call it
Euckes comet
Subsequently Encke wrote a number
Of valuable works on astronomical sub
jects BE observed and noted many
perturbatious in the orbits Of comets
caused By planetary attraction. One Of
these Is nov announced, which Is a little
startling. The Encke comet FOR 1871
will barely miss the earth, their paths 50
crossing each other that they must col

retically impossible l. the night Of

INDIAN SUMMER.

Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season,
When nature is all aglow-
Aglow with mystical splend0r
That rivals the beauties of Spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than aught which fair Summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow,
Then borrows its magical dyes;
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The sun from its cloud-pillowed chamber
Smiles soft on vision so gay,
And dreams that his favOrite children,
The flowers. have not yet passed away.
There's a luminous mist on the mountains.
A light, azure haze in the air.
As if angels. while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there.
Tho breeze is so soft, so caressing,
1t seems q mute token of love.
And floats to the heart like a blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These days so serene and so charming,
Awaken dreary delight
A tremulous. fearful enjoyment.
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they're fading, neeting,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end,
And We watch them with yearning affection,
As at parting we watch dear friend.
Oh beautiful Indian Summerl
Thou fayOrite child of the year.
Thou darling whom Nature enriches
With gifts and ad0rnments so dear
How fain would we woo thee to linger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts like the sweet haunts Of Nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
