Kentucky Women.

From tho Montgomery (Ky) Republican,
While 1t has always been acknowledged
that the Kentucky women are the fairesI
in the Union, yet the half has not beer
told oI them. Their forms are perfect
models Of ease and grace, and there is Q
certain style and gesture in their walk
which is not possessed by one out OF &
thousand in the North. Their features
are regular and handsome; their skin fair
light, heavy, waving hair; dark blue eyes
and peaChy bloom on their cheeks
which makes them almost irresistibIe-tc
a married man. Their forms are much
better developed than are Northern wo.
men, and, though slender enough around
the waist, their muscle is sufficient TO curl
the fiery steed upon whose back they take
their morning exercise.

Death from HydrophobIa,

CHICAGO, August IA remarkable
case Of death by hydrophobia occurred
here Saturday. Tho last week in June a
small terrier dog owned by John Ssllitt,
who lives on Western avenue, suddenly
became lazy and irritable, and one day,
as Mr.. sslitts little daughter Lettie al
tempted TO put him in his kennel, he biz
her on the cheek, drawing blood. The
dog was soon alter killed on account OF
his temper. The wound caused no alarm,
and soon healed, but last Wednesday
Lettie was seized with sickness, which
gradually increased until Saturday. Her
face grew livid; her breathing became
very Irregular; she irothed at the mouth,
gasped continually, and, with her body
writing in convulsions, died. The case &
deemed remarkable, because 1t disproyes
the theory Of DR.. Hammond's disciples,
that children do not die Of hydrophobls'
and because death ensued in this case
much sooner than usual.

Moulton,s Statement.

1t Is announced from New York that
MouLToN is preparing a statement In
answer to BEEcHKR. This Is the docu.
ment thepeople now want tosee. MoU1'
TON stands in an ugly and very unenviable
position before the world. II he can ex-
tricAte himself, he should lose no time In
doing so. AtpreSent be Is looked upon
with suspicion as mean spirited and
mercenary gobetween, who for sinister
purposes, wormed himself into BERcHRR'G
confidence and then conspired with TIL
TON to blackmail him. And yet MoUL.
TON is man oI large means, We are told
and above the temptation Of lending him.
self to such baseness. The public are not
therefore fully prepared to believe that he
could 50 degrade himself for a
few thousand dollars. They desire
10 hear from him before coming to q
definite conclusion. There will be no
satisfactory public judgment in regard to
Mr.. BEEcHER's statement until MoULToN
Is heard from. His narrative Is so extra.
ordinary that It taxes the popular credu-
lity in certain particulars to q point where
very grave misgivings arise. For in.
stance, why did MoULToN go with q pis.
tol to Mr.. BRKCHER to take from him the
letter Of exculpation, given him BY Mrs
TILToN, alter he had taken him to Mr..
TnToN's house TO fix up matters. II
Mr.. BEKcnRR vas innocent, and knew
that he was ef tiled TO that letter, how
could he regard Mr.. MoUIToS as his
friend after thus coming to him with q
pistol and forcing him TO give
up such an all important docu.
mentp There is certainly something
very extraordinary in the strange intlu-
ence that Mr.. MouLToN exercised over
MIR. BEEcHER from that time, December
1870, up 10 the date Of Mr.. BEEcHER's ex.
traordinary letter to him on the first of
June 1878, in which he said, "0h, that l
could put in golden letters my deep sense
Of your faithful, earnest, undying fidelity"
Perhaps Mr.. MoULToN can better explain
the secret Of that influence than Mr..
BERCHER has done. Perhaps also he can
satisfactorily explain how 1t came that he
himself wrote an extraordinary letter to
Mr. BEECHER on the self same day, in
which he said to Mr. BERcHER "You can
stand II the whole case were published
tomorrow. What did that ex-
preston meang In the same letter he
chides Mr.. BEEcHER for indulging an
"unmanly mood" and tells him that he
doesn't begin 10 be in the danger today
that had faced him many times before"
And yet Mr.. MoULToN was the convent.
ent person through whom Mr.. BEEcHER
afterwards paid thousands Of dollars to
TILToN. Why was it necessary to pay
money through MoULToN at all? II Mr..
BERcHER had wronged Mr.. TIIToN by
indiscreet advice; honestly given, why not
ease his conscience by making reparatlon
direct to Mr.. TILToN? Why employ
such a peculiar person as MoULToN ?
What is tho secret explanation
1t is upon these and also upon other
points that the country would like to
hear from Mr.. MoULToN. 1t Is said that
he has had three stenogrsphers at
work for the last five days. II SO, we
may expect tremendous avalanche OF
disclosures and explanations, when the
peculiar man finally lets loose upon
BEEcHER.
