A SIGNIFICANT CASE In the town Of
Paris, Bourbon county, Kentucky, there
is quite oven division Of the voting
population, the two political parties being
so nearly equal that the Roman Catholics
hold the balance of power. The Catho
lies have parochial school in the place,
for which they requested Of the Demo.
cratic city government, some two months
ago, an appropriation Of $3.50 to apply to
repairs. Their request was granted, but
other citizens sought an injunction against
the payment OF the money, on the ground
that the school in question was private
and sectarian. The case was fully argu.
ed and the injunction granted, though the
judge, Democrat, expressed his regret
that he could not decide in favor OF the
defendants, and added that as between
the Irish and negroes, he was ia favor OF
educating the Irish.

Is it History Repeating Itself ?

The New Haven Courier tells story
which may either DO an old story in a
new dress, or the account of something
which. though Of recent occurrence, has
occurred before. AT any rate the story
has point which can always scratch in
some place where scratching is needed, so
here it is:
The subject of the story is check
drawn by New Haven gentleman few
weeks ago for about $500, and passed by
the indorser to a lumber firm in that city.
From thence it went to seven other con.
Germs, and finally found its way to the
original drawer Of it, The last indorser
happened to be one who was 10 arrears to
the drawer, and seeing his name to the
check and the rounds the check had gone
and the good it had done, concluded he
would "do something" handsome to the
drawer, and paid it over. That check
liquidated several thousand dollars worth
of accounts.
The repetition Of such occurrences will
never grow monotonous, 1t is told Of
the first Napoleon, that having at one
time con6scated some solid silver images
of the Apostles, which he found in GER.
tain church during one of his campaigns,
in order to coin the metal into money, he
remarked TO some ore of his companions
that he intended that they should obey
the Masters command, and 60 about do
ing good. 1ha. is just what money is
for, and paying debts is one of the best
things it can do.

IMPROVED METHOD FOR SHOE


From long experience in shoeing horses, rs
well rs in dealing in them, I think | wa
well prepared to appreciate the fact that bad
shooting probably spois more horses than all other
causes, cramping and twisting their feet, and Ill
timately their limbs out Of shape, until they arc
finally crippled ard unable to travel except in
pain. 1t matters little whether these bad effects
proceed from ignorance, erroneous ideas, or from
careless bungling practices, so long as the effect
il the Same. During tho past year have spent
much timo while in market carefully investiga-
ting the improved modern methods of shoeing,
by which the feet of tho best and most valuable
horses in New York Boston, Providence, and
other large places, are kept in the most natural
shape and condition possible By these methods,
feet contracted by careless, bad shooting, founder,
etc, can usually be brought back to their natural
shape, enabling them to travel much easier, and
adding much to their true value 1t would take
far too much space to explain these methods in
an ordinary advertisement but have made ar
rangements to commence the business of horse
shoeing again OF my old shop near the Fair
Grounds where | may be found to explain and
make practical application of them. shall be
pleased to see my old customers, as well as
all who have got horses who want them shod in a
careful and correct manner.
