How Kentucky Legislation Spend Their Eve
uingu
A Frankfort correspondent Of the Louis
willie Courier Journal says
Committee business no longer occupies the
attention Of members when the legislation OF
the day IL over, and their constituents may
DO interested In learning how they spend
thelr evenings. Well, a few Of them r .ssi
good books and 60 10 bed CARLY some that
arc socially inclined call on their lady friends
and either devote themselves 70 log-rolllng
fayorlto measures, or preparing big spoeches IN
their advocacy. Many members spend tnelr
evenings together In social converse more OF
less edlfying, and In some exception casee q
little game Il often Cotton up 70 relieve the
tedlum, Sometimes Il IL poker, or Boston,
and not unfrcquently 10 the primitive state 10
which even the legislators OF the Common
wealth live, the game IL what ls sometimes
called seven up" and ct others ''old sledge."
In this connection am reminded Of little
incident that occurred In No. =, Capital ho-

to the situation, and, not holding q trump,
saw himself loser every time until the deal
came 10 him. Then he took the cards, and
from his manner II was clear that something
was up, or, at least, about TO turn up. The
backwoods member couldn't stand II. He
arose from his chair and with curious eyes
watched the judges shuttle.

skillful manipulation. Tho bucollc Scion was
overcome with admiration. Here, stran-

There's all the money I've got about me, and
id II that round shuttle Of yours oughtnt TO
make you Governor; besides, can't play
against such a shuttle as that, but l can vote
for you, and you may Just set me down for
you for Governor" The compliment was
accepted, but the pocketbook declined. II
Is worthy OF note that after that remarkable
round shuttle" the Judge had great deal

Now will choirs and pubic singers learn TO
enunciate distinctly and sensibly, or must they
be pointed out by name and showed their vile
renderings Of what should be solemn or pathetic
words, but which they render as ineffable bosh!
When choir does all the praising for whole
congregation, it is bad enough but when they
murder English, torture music, and make gibber-
ish Of the Amighty's name and praise, it is too
much for Ct. SHARP.
