Thirty Dollars, Only.

The National Live Stock Journal
tells of this capital joke perpetrated at
Kansas City, during the fair, and which
was witnessed by a horse-fancier from
Springfield. THE famous trotting
mare, Goldsmith Maid, was brought
out OIL one of the business streets and
put up at a public sale to the highest
bidder. Only two or three persons, who
were in the secret, had any idea of the
value of the animal that was to he sold.
The auctioneer stated that he ''guaran-
teed nothing except the title. The
buyer must take her. on his w judg-
ment, from her appearance She was
logged up and down II little, the auc-
tioneer grew eloquent over her fine gait
and her splendid tail. bnt II WAS all in
vain. Thirty dollars was the outside
bid that could be obtained for the peer
less old mare ION her looks" and at
that figure she was bid in and led back
to Old Charley's tender care, while
those in the secret enjoyed Il hearty
laugh over the excellent joke.

''Ihe BlOOd of the Siain.''

The blood of the slain cries for justice
everywhere. Human life in Kentucky
is not worth the swapping of II mans
finger. The finger ends of many men
who go UNPUBLISHED are dripping with
the gore of their victims. Acres of
grass grow on the graves of murdered
men in my district.
We quote the above from the recent
charge of Judge o. ID. McManama to
the Grand Jury mt the opening Of the
special term Of the Carroll Criminal
Court, and we predict that every Re
publican journal in the North will re-
iterate it and point to it rs conclusive
evidence of the truth of their chronic
charge that Kentucky is Democratic
State, and because Kentucky is Il DEM
ocratic State lawlessness and bloodshed
abound. Syllogistically our enemies
put it: Democracy is lawlessness; Ken
lucky lisa Democratic state: therefore
Kentucky is lawless.
This is false and slanderous logic. of
course, but it is not necessary to waste
any time over the third term of the
Republican syllogism. Weof Kentucky
owe il to ourselves and to posterity to
make Kentucky lawless no longer. The
other charges will then fall to the
ground.
Judge McAlanama, we are compelled
to say, has not exaggerated the situa-
ton in the least; for there are regions
in Kentucky where literally human
life is not worth the snappings of n
mans finger" 1t is an accursed con-
ditlon, and woe to Kentucky if she
correct public sentiment II make it.
Just so long as juries, by repeated
ac1uittals, give the barbarians of this
State carte blanche to shoot and stab
and lynch, just so long will the muir
derer stalk with braZen brow through
Kentucky, and laugh to scorn the par
aphernalia of the law. What do our
juries mean by bowling at the feet of
Crime and kissing his bloody finger tips
and cringing when he ~imprudently
thrusts aside the fasres of authority?
Are they 81 eontemptibly cowardly
that they dare lot take the responsible
ity of conviction? When men fear to
obstruct the pathway of the murderer,
it must he confessed that the State of
Kentucky has fallen into Il very low
moral condition. We have certainly
arrived at that point when promiscuous
shootings %lynching, and assassination
will rule the State, or the constituted
authorities of the State must place the
lion heel of justiceonthe lawless. Louis

The POlemeseOpe,

This instrument, the name of which
Is formed from the Greek words p%oie,nDs
WAR and scoper Ito see), is founded on
the fundamental optical principle that
the ray which falls on n mirror and the
one reflected are at equal angles, or, to
use the scientific phrase, an angle of
incidence is equal TO the angle Of re-
Election. 1t was invented by Hefvetius,
was tried by the French artillery of
Sebastopol, and was brought more gen.
orally into use by the Prussians at the
siege of Paris in 1871. Since then
various improvements have been made,
and it is now an essential part of all
artillery operations. The ~polemoscope
is an apparatus, which, by means of
an adjustment of certain lenses and II
movable mirror, enables an observer
concealed behind a parapet OF an epau-
lement to follow the movements of any
force in front, without exposing any
thing more To the cnemy's fire than the
instrument itself. Other adaptations
of the principle have been made, though
not for purposes of such essential
utility. Some time since, II lorgnette
wa invented in England, in the tube
of which an inclined mirror was con-
cealed. which enabled Il spectator to
observe in a direction different from
the axis of the glass, or, | n other words,
he could see what was going on in a
line other than that in which he was
apparently looking.

NO COMMON TENDERNESS.
1t passed the bounds of ordinary family
love, as the friendship between David
and Jonathan surpassed the ordinary
friendship of men. 1t was a passion
that never died nor waned. When bur-
dened with such cares and tangled
duties as no other Governor of this or
any other State ever carried, he still
welcomed into his crowded office, Mt all
hours, his wife and children, and never
failed 70 greet them with kisses. If

And so she was with him in far Oregon,
