Here, members of that church have
been known to take as active part in
a canvass against candidates who were
members oftheir own, as against those
who were members of some other
church, or who belonged to no church
at all. Such was the case when
both Mr.. Spalding's father and uncle
were candidatcs-and such assuredly
was the case against Mr.. Spalding,
himself, when n candidate for the Sen
ate in this district. And if / remem-
Der rightly, Mr.. Spalding supported
Mr.. Waggener, the present Clerk of
our Circuit Court, against his compct-
itor, who was Catholic. They have
always been liberal in their action in
this particular. Then why should
Democrats, in any locality, take the
initiative in inaugurating, or aid the
Radicals in making political war up
on a religious denomination? The
patriotism of that church is undoubt-
ed. Now, in the canvass Mr.. Spald-
ing is making, his religious principles
ought not, and with right thinking can
have nothing to do with it. The ques
ton is simply, is he true Democrat
does he properly understand the prin-
ciples upon which the government is
founded-is he able by speech and
vote to aid in carrying out those prin-
ciples-is he incompatible? l am
satisfied that those who know him best,
whether for or against him, will an
swer these in the affirmative. His
friends only ask the members of the
party to be true to their principles
leave religious intolerance to their rad
ical opponents-let Mr.. Spalding and
his competitor make this race upon
their individual merits-and if he is
beaten, his friends will cheerfully nc
ouiesce. UNION.

Sleep the Best Stimulant.

The best possible thing for a man to
do when he feels too weak to carry it
through is to go to bed and sleep
week if he can. This is the only true
recuperation of power, the only actu-
al recuperation of brain force Be
cause during sleep the brain is in a
condition to receive and appropriate
particles of nutriment from the blood
which take the place of those which
have been consumed in previous labor,
since the very act of thinking con-
sumes, burns up solid particles, as
every turn of the wheel or screw of
the splendid steamer is the result of
consumption by fire Of the fuel in the
furnace. The supply of consumed
brain substance can only be had from
the nutritive particles in. the blood,
which were obtained from the food
eaten previously, and the brain Is so
constituted that it can best receive and
appropriate to itself those nutritive par
ticles during state of rest, of quiet,
and stiffness in. Mere stimulants
supply nothing in themselves they
only goad the brain, force it to a great
err consumption of its substance, until
that substance has been so exhausted
that there Is not power enough left to
receive a supply, just as men are Sc
near death by thirst and starvation
that there is not power enough to swal.
low anything, and all is over.

Advice to Girls.

In marrying, make your own match;
do not marry any man to get rid of
him. The man who would go to de-
struction without you, will quite as
likely go with you, and perhaps drag
you along. Do not marry in haste,
lest you repent at leisure; do lnot mar
ry for home and living, when by
taking care of your health you can be
strong enough to earn your own living.
Do not place yourself habitually in the
society of any sutton until you have
decided the question Of marriage /; hu-
man wills are weak, and people often
become bcwildered and 10 not know
their errors until it is too late. Get
away from their innuenc, settle your
head, and make up your mind alone.
A promise may be made in a moment
of sympathy, or even halfdelirious &C.
stasy, which must be redeemed through
years of sorrow, toll and pain. DO
not rush thoughtlessly, hastily into
welded life, contrary to the counsel
of your best friend. Love can wait I;
that which cannot wait is something
of a very different character.

Influence of Newspaper.

The Boston Traveller states that n
school teacher who had the benefit of
a long practice of his profession, and
had watched closely the influence of a
newspaper upon the minds of family
of children, gives as a result of his
observation that, without exception,
those scholars of both sexes and all
ages who have access to newspapers
at home, with those who have not, are /:
1. Better readers, excelling in pro-
nunciation, and, consequently read
more understandingly.
2. They are better spoilers, and de-
fine with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain a partial knowledge
of geography in almost half the time
it requires Others, as the newspapers
has made them familiar with the Ioca-
ton important places and nations their
governments, and dOings.
A. They are better grammarians,
for having become familiar with every
variety of style in the newspaper, from
commonplace advertisement to the
finished and classical Grafton of the
statesman, they more readily compre-
bend the meaning of the text, and
consequently analyze the construction
with accuracy.

A Great Injustice.

A milk peddler named Drews was
yesterday at the City Hall police sta
ton to secure aid in tracing the where
abouts of a family who had changed
locations between the two days, owing
him three dollars.
"Well, / suppose there was twelve
shillingS worth of water in the three
dollars milk account" remarked the
Chief.
There's where 1t gals me-there's
where it hurts !" replied the dealer.
They were new customers, and /
hadn't commenced to water the milk

Hon. 1. A. SpaIding.

The following timely and sensible
article on the question Of q religious
test for Office was written by a promi-
nent member of the Methodist church
and published in the Owensboro Mon
itor of July 26th:
The report comes to us, that in por-
tons of this Congressional district, some
of the opponents of Mr.. Spalding are
using the religious views of that gen.
tleman to prejudice the bigoted and
unthinking against him. Surely, in
an enlightend age, il speaks badly for
n country boasting freedom and indie
pendencc, no less in religion than in
politics, when We see individuals of a
candidates own party discriminating
against him because of his religious
opinions. Certainly nothing short of
a very great strait could induce any
true Democrat to urge peculiar reli>
gious views in one of his own party
for a disqualification for office. A re-
ligious test for political, or other office,
in the gift of the people, is reprehensi-
ble in any party; how much more,
then, in a great party protesting to
adhere rigidly to the principles and
teachings of the constitution of our
country For the sake of truth and
justice, leave such discrimination to
the bigoted and self-righteous Radicals.
And if you do not want it to recoil
upon your own hands, beware how
you attempt to use such test in partic-
uiar localities in behalf Of your favor
ties, lest you educate the masses, in
time, to discriminate against your own
party, as favoring religious equality.
This kind of plea can only be resorted
to by designing partisans to foist favor
ties into office-for it is clearly against
the letter and spirit of the Constitu-
ton, and against the principles of
sound Democracy.
The last clause of section 3, article
6, of the Constitution of the United
States, is literally as follows: "No
religious test shall ever berequired as q
qualification to any office or public
trust under the United States" The
test heretofore applied has simply been
its he honest, is he competent p
This surely is sufficiently comprehen.
sive to assure the perpetuity of oul
rights and liberties, if those we elect
ill the bill.
Mr.. Editor, it has been my lot to
live in tolerably intimate association
with large number of Catholics-and
I candidly say, that in honesty and
fair dealing, and in good citizenship,
knownop people belonging to any church
or religious denomination their superb
ors. They and myself differ widely il
our religious views, yet after an asso
citation of thirty-ive years with them
truth constrains me TO bear the abov,
testimony in their behalf.
Within the time specified I hav,
been a candidate for Office severa
times, and have invariably received
liberal support from them. They ar
not unlike others, each one votes 70
his favorite. 1 have never know
them vote as unit, or anything al
preaching it, except during "Knov
nothing" times. And what demon
nation, whose political rights wei
so assailed, would not have vote
unitedly for their preservation A
all other times, / have found the men
bers Of that church as diffuse in the
choice as any other set Of peopl

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
Who Arc the Poor?

Who are the poor2 Not always those
Who have the least to show,
Nor are they always found among
The darkest haunts Of woe;
For one may wear the richest dress
And roll in wealth's galore,
And still in reasons perfect sight
Be poor, ay, very poor.
The brightest skies may ever shine
Above the mansion proud,
And he who dwells within it's walls
With want may ne'er be bowed;
The sweetest music ever heard
May feed his listening ear,
And ninth and pleasure fill the cup
OF all the gladstone year.
Yet poor indeed may be the man
Who owns such JOY as these,
II e'er his heart be coldly closed
To others miseries.
And vain is all his store of gold,
Ii eelfishly he lives
And, always Ieaping harvest new,
No charity e'er gives.
Real poverty is in the heart,
'Tis want of love for man,
It's failure to perform good
To bless WIENER you can;
It's lack OF love and lack OF faith
In right and its degree,
That the greatest virtue one can own
Is loving character.
So let US, then, do all we can
To help each other on,
And show that wealth of mind and hear
Which lives when gold is gomez
And let us keep this truth in view
Where'er our steps may lead;
A man may be a millionaire,
And vet be poor indeed.

To the Voters Oftie SccOnd Con-
gressiOnal District.

In full recognition of the delicacy of
the subject, but feeling that the circum-
stances make the duty imperative, l
take this method Of entering my most
earnest protest against the effort that
is being made to hold me responsible
for such agitation of the question of re-
ligion as may have entered into the
canvass for Congress in this district,
and to say that the recent utterances
of the Owensboro Daily Monitor, one
of Mr.. Spaldings organs, are utterly
without foundation. 1t is a patent fact
in the county of Davies, that the en-
tire Catholic vote of that county will
be cast for Mr.. Spalding, with, perhaps,
a score of exceptions, in all this large
body of voters. 1t is not surprising
that this should have excited comment,
and that some of my friends who
thought they saw in it a purpose to
promote Mr.. Spalding, solely Or main-
ly, because of his being a Catholic,
should have been provoked into resent
ment; but that 1 have fomented such
discussions or attempted to use Mr..
Spalding's religion to his prejudice is
utterly untrue. It's, perhaps, needless
to enquire who is at fault, as it will be
insisted by the friends of each that the
responsibility lies at the door of the
other, andbesides, my object is to repel,
not to make charges. This much, how
ever, it may be proper to say, in justice
to my friends, that whilst the Catholics
of the district are substantially a unit
for Spalding, Protestants are divided,
and moreover, deprecate the seeming
ly religious turn the race has taken.
The Monitor articles have only this
to support them, that when the subject
has been occasionally referred to and
discussed in my presence, 1 have re-
cognized the state of case as it really
exists in Davies county, but never to
approve it. l have condemned in I'M
qualified terms, not only in this race,
but during my whole life and always,
the introduction of religion into politics
and would not for all the offices in the
gift of the people, aggrandize myself
at the expense of principle. 1 most
solemnly asseveratc that my course in
this whole matter has been defensive
and not aggressive; SO decided are my
convictions against the admixture of
religion and politics, that 7 confess to
greater anxiety to put myself right be-
fore the people of the district than to
be electet to the office to which l seek.
What the effect of the late publica-
ton in the Owensboro Daily Monitor
on this subject is to be, l cannot know;
that they do me grievious wrong, be-
sides aggravating the evil which they
claim to deplore, no one will dispute.
The consequences of this agitation will
rest with others, not with me.
1 desire to say in conclusion. that l
make this race as a democrat, without
other aid than lifelong Democracy and
devotion to principle may entitle me
to. If false issues are to determine,
l can but submit. Respectfully,
j. A. MCKENZIE.

Republican party the task of reviving

ry and of subverting the principles of

MAYsvnLE, KY, July 27.-There
is blood on the moon at Mt. Olivet.
The Office of the Robertson County
Tribune was entered at an early hour
Wednesday morning, the printingpress
smashed to pieces, and the type emp
tied out of the window. A very ex-
citing race for county judge is in pro-
gress, two Democrats being the candi-
dates. Geo. II. Nolan, the editor,
charges that his enemies were hired
and paid $50 to do the dirty work. In
support of his charge he has procured
an affidavit from Thos. Cockerel, one
of his compositors, which if true,
involves one of the candidates for
Judge in an ugly transaction. The
candidate, G. L. Lyttle, however, is a
good citizen, and his friends believe
him incapable ofsuch action. He has
prepared and will publish evidence
that he says will completely exonerate
him, and show Cockerel lied. There
is o good deal of excitement in town,
and fears are entertained that there
will be blood-shed over the affair.
