soft water should be given, if convenient;

The best time to water is about half an
hour before feeding. While driving, the
rule should be little and often. None, or
only a swallow or two, should he given

very warm, the horse should be walked
moderately where thereis not a current of

any danger is apprehended, tho chill
should be taken off the water, if very
cold, and given sparingly, a few swallows
at time. The common custom is to give
about . half bucket of water. The safest
course would be to give less and repeat.

The Election in Kentucky.

An election was held i'll
Kentucky last Monday week
for State officers and members
of the Legislature.
AS all well-informed per-
sons anticipated, the contest in
the State resulted in the cleo
ton of the State ticket by al,
most 10000 majority. The
only test vote ever had between
the parties in Kentucky, since
the enfranchisement of the ne.
groes was at the Congressional
elections last fall, when the
Democratic majority was 81,
2l4. From the latest returns
or the election MONDAY week,
it appears that Governor Les
lies majority will be between
$4,000 and 40,000-a Demo-
cratic gain of several thousand,
and this is what the Radicals
claim as q victory IF bare,
faced lying would make a vic
tory in Kentucky for Radical
ism, then that party would be
successful-but it won't.
Let us give three cheers for
old Kentucky!

Col. COckerill made one Of

The Commune 20 Fight Again.


The Paris correspondent of the World
has had lengthy interview with the
Communist prisoners now at Versailles.
One Of these said; We have done
nothing to be sorry for. We we're fight
ing for poor men, rights. We shall fight
for them again. You rich men have de-
feated us again, but as we are more
numerous, we shall yet be victorious
Compare La Commune of 1871 and June,
l848, and see what an advance We have
made during those twenty-three years.
When we next take arms you will see q
still greater improvement. May be we
shall then be victorious. Our army will
be larger, our wives will instill into our
children the hatred we bear to the rich.
They viii teach our children to consider
how the rich grind us under their heel in
quiet times, keep us poor, deny us all
the pleasures Of life, and when we rise in
arms hoot us down like dogs or ship us
abroad like sheep. Our leaders will see
where we have failed, and take better
measures for attack, for defense and for
defeat. We shall fight more desperately,
knowing that death and transportation
awaits us, and, remembering the causes
which prevented the execution Of our
designs, we shall take such measures as
may insure the destruction of Paris. The
rich strip us of our homes. We shall
strip the rich of their homes.
