Life, with Its hopes and Joys lies all before tf1ee
path as varfous os the flowers that bloom;
Pefchance through verdant fields 1t sosneslmes
leadeth,
Again through rocky ways 1t maketh room
Bland skies may sometimes be above iheo,
And dsweet the streams that purl through meadows
rare:
OF dark. obscure, the clouds may tcmpcsts gathcr-
Yet soon the birds shall sing through all the air.
So take the sweet nor mind at all the bitter
Life comes to all with roses and with tkorns:
When spreadeth Night, her darken'd robes seera
aombre;
But then, as recompense, We have the glorious
Morn. CoEDEL1A HARRIS TuESEH

A:Week ago the views of Mr. Harper, owner O.
Ten Brock, concerning race between his horst
and Tom Ochiltree were given in these columns
and now come Wilees' Spirit aud the Sportsma',
and take up strongly with the owner Of the
Eastern horse as against hir. Harper. They dc
clare that there is very little probability Of the
two horses meeting because Of the engagements
which Ochiltrec has, and which prevent him
from going to Kentucky. The Spirit closes By
sug costing Saratoga as a compromise, and de-
nics utterly tue stories about horses being poi
soncd on Eastern tracks. The Sportsman closes
its comments on the Harper interview rs fol

The New York papers are still enthusiastic
over those two wonderful frauds, Won Hillcrn
and Marshall, who left behind them SO unsayory
reputation in Chicago. Their affair at the
West Side Rink, under Encouragement Of real
estate speculator, was the most disgraccfu1 of
all the hippodromcs ever carried to an end in
this city. Since the New York affair began TO
loom up In print, The TRIBUNE has been in re-
ceipt Of numerous letters. Below is sample,
which is equally notable for the truth and bad
grammar which it contains:

FRANK JOHNSON. ~
The people Of Louisville have lately been
somewhat exercised over the performance OF
Frank johnson, who has been undertaking
walk Of 1,S00 miles in 1900 hours. It was fin
ished last week, and, after it had becnannouncel
that Johnson had succeeded, the CourierJo Journal
set to work to find out il everything was honest
and straight, It uses up about q column of
space to conclude that it doesn't know about it,
Il seems that johnson walked square which
WAS one-twenticth Of mile around, and there
seems to be more Or less testimony to prove
that he used to walk about five or six times
around, then chalk up a mile and go to bed.
On the other hand, johnson himself and his time
keepers soleulnly asseycratc that he fairly Der
formed the feat. The matter Is worthy of being
looked into, because if johnson fairly cornplct-
cd his task, he has record never equa}cd.
Something more definite may be learned about
Johuson's powers this week, ipasmuch as he
proposes to walk 100 miles in twenty hours or
burst 1ue.

Duties Of Our Town Trustees.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Through the col
umns of the HERALD, we desire to
call the attention of our efficient town
trustees to duty required of them by
law, which as yet has not been per-
formed.
The General Statutes, chapter 107,
article 4, section =, page 81, under
the above caption, says: "They shall
once in each year give full and fair
statement in writing, signed by the
chairman, of all sums collected, and of
all sums disbursed the preceding year,
and what for, and of all debts due them
or owing by them: which shall be
posted up for inspection at three of the
most public places in the town"
This law has been in force long
while, and each New Year we have
patiently waited to see a statement of
our town finances, but 1t has never APP
peared. Our trustees are prompt in
the discharge of all other duties, save
this, the most important one to the
taxpayers. And believing that their
failure in this Is attributable to the
fact that they have overlooked the
above requirement, We take this meth
oil of informing them oft. We have
never doubted that all the tax collect.
ed was properly expended, but it
would be Il great satisfaction to
all of us to find an itemized state,
ment of our financial condition in the
next issue of our paper, as well as be-
ing posted at the proper places. BE,
sides, 1t behoOves us now TO reduce, il
possible, our regular tax, that the
special tax may be that much less
burdensome.. TAX-PAYER.

MiscegenatiOn.

Kate Ramer, Il white woman, aged
about twenty-five years, has been liv>
ing with an old negro man some forty
or fifty years of age, in the neighbor-
hood of Caneyville, Grayson county.
A month or six weeks ago some white
men went there with the intention of
driving them off. The negro, whose
name is Alfred Stinson, showed fight,
and a little battle ensued, and it is
said that the white woman loaded the
guns while the negro did the shooting.
The whites fell back in disorder, some
of them getting wounded. Some time
last week the white men made Il raid
again, and shot another negro by mis-
take for Alfred, and wounded him in
the leg. They did not find Alfred OF
Kate, both of whom left and took the
cars at Wildwood, on Thursday last,
for Louisville. The.woman staid there
Friday, and Saturday she re,
turned, getting off at Wildwood, saying
she feared to get off at CaneyvilIe,
believing that violence would be
done her. She seems to have lost any
or all shame she ever had, and is
about as badly soiled as women get tC
be. We have given the facts as We
learned them.

Prof. w. Ii. Harvard.

We are glad to announce that this
distinguished educator will again cast
his lot among us, and open school in
the Masonic Hall next Monday morn
ing. The Prof. is too well known
here, to need any comment from us,
but for those who do not know him or
know the life he throws into his school,
it might be well to say that he is I'M
surpassed anywhere as an educator.
On the morning of the opening of the
school, Prof. Hayward will deliver an
Educational address, and desires
the presence of the puplic or as many
as can attend.

will be convinced that spiritualism is

always found on his table, served up

The cocks were growing the mid
night hour, and still he fingered with
his love. The old man always was
opposed to keeping late hours-in
fact his motto is Early to bed" &C.,
and had often requested his daughter
not to sit up late with the boys. He
retired early that night, but had
aroused just in time to hear the old
clock on the mantlepiece chime twelve,
when, rs it ceased striking, he heard
their merry voices. This was more
than he could stand. So he prepared
himself with the necessary article
used in persuading a fellow to leave,
and stationed his big watch dog near
the gate. He was sitting with her
hand in his, while his shoulder an.
swered for place on which to rest
her weary head. They looked rs
though nothing but death could sepe-
rate them. No sooner had the door
been touched than he sprang to hi:
feet. Ere the old mans command had
been given, he bounded by him and in
to the yard he went "Take himp
yelled the old man, and Watch made @
grab for him, but too late to accom-
plish what his master had intended
for him to do. Nobody has since seen
the late hour man, but something
about the size of your hand, resembling
stickiug-plaster, was found with sever
al parts of garments hanging on one
of the palings next morning. The
old man is still mad, and swears the
next time he lays his hands on him
"he'll look worse than a fellow who,
