!. A remarkable phenomenon in poll
tics was witnessed in Kentucky yester
day. County elections took place
throughout the State, and in almost
every county from which we have re-
ports one or more of the Republican
candidates was elected. In Govington,
Newport, Paris, Flemingsbnrg, Frank
fort, and other places Democrats were
beaten in stand up fight. 1t would
seem as if the spirit of independence
had actually broken loose upon the soil
of Kentucky. 1t may. be, though, only
the spirit of self protection. In Ken
lucky as in Ohio the Democrats have
had bad luck with their city and coun-
try officers. Defalcatious have been
frequent, and the PUBLIC tills have
suffered lnroads that the taxpayers are
at last beginning to feel. We venture
to predict that the Republicans who
were elected to office yesterday will
prove faithful to their trust. The
people of Kentucky should watch the
|experiment closely, and il they find
that it proves successful, they should
elect some more Republicans, and &c
on with the undertaking until pOliti-
cal balance is reached which will pul
public officials on their good behavior

San Francisco Chronicle.
BUENos AYREs, January, 1878.-One house
in particular attracted my attention, and
while gazing at the richly furnished room
through the wide open window I suddenly
received shower of eau de Cologne in my
face completely binding me for the instant.
My discontinue was intensified by the merry
laughter Of beautiful young lady, who hap
pened to be my assailant, and who courteous
" invited me within-for, be it remembered,
no etiquette is observed during the carnival
festivities. Accepting her invitation, / was
ushered into a richly furnished apartment
and invited by her to engage in mock
battle, the weapons to be used being the
''pomito,' an instrument charged with
scented waters. Procuring one l accepted
her challenge, and while defending myself
against her attacks was seized from behind,
and before could offer any resistance was
suddenly precipitated into huge tub of
water, from which I emerged in a sorry
plight, much to the amusement of the young
lady and her two brothers, the latter being
the cause of my misfortune. Laughing with
them at the joke they had played upon me I
hurriedly returned to my hotel to procure a
change of raiment, determined to be a little
more careful in accepting further invitations
to enter strange domiciles, no matter how
bewitching or enchanting the fair goddess
might be who reigned therein. AS / hur-
ried down the street in the direction of nv

Mrs. Fosters Lecture

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster delivered a very fine
discourse at the House of Hope church last
night. The lady proceeded to show the
danger of the drink custom, and appealed to
the audience to stop the use of alcohol in
every form. She said that the ladies who
sent down to the grocer for some native
wine were just as bad as Bridget, who sends
the cup around the corner after beer or whis-
KY. She proceeded with fine argument
and pointed illustrations to show that alco-
hol is not food, but poison, and ought to be
used only as poison is used. She showed
that it was not good for the body, the brain,
the heart, OF the emotions. After three quar-
ters of an hours talk on on this subject
which it is impossible to report in its power
and responsiveness, she said, I will
now present reasons for signing
the pledge. First, she made a
strong appeal to the moderate drinkers, show
ing that their influence is worse than the
drunkards. In the second place she pre-
scented the power of inherited appetite and
made telling hit on dram-drinking and it's
consequences. At the close of her lecture
Rev. Mr.. Satterlee, who had the meeting in
charge, invited all to sign the pledge who had
not done so. Between thirty and forty
names were secured. The lecture tomorrow
evening will be at the First Baptist Church
and the subject illegal Prohibition

The Question Of their Issuc by the Nesrs-

[St. Cloud Journal
The publishers of this State, as class,
have fair degree of self respect, enough at
least, to prevent them from scramblng
around after few pennies which the Legis-
lature might see fit, with the permission of
the executive departments, to toss them.
The margin of profit, even at the present
price and with the economical manner of
having the work done, is not very great, and
the loss of the whole business would not
very materially affect the receipts of one out
of every twenty Minnesota publishers, but
there is principle involved in which they
do feel interested. The demands upon the
newspapers for services in behalf of the
State are almost unending and unlimited. If
any movement is on foot which may result
in benefit to the State, the newspapers are
called on to carry it through. If advantages
are to be set forth, if misstatements are to
be corrected, if immigration is to be invited,
the burden is rolled over onto the shoulders
of the newspapers. The fact is, that the
newspapers of Minnesota have done more

ever any matter comes up, however merito-
rious in itself, by which the publishers Of
these papers may receive some slight pecu-
mary profit, the work of trimm ing and cut

small business, and reflects no particular
credit on any who are engaged in it.
Personally, we do not care a cope,

This paper has not been specially profted

"How is the building, anyway? Don't it

1.-The facts are that the partition walls in
the second, third and fourth stories, on the
Broadway and Park Row fronts, are con-
structed so as to admit of removal without
detriment to the building, in case the neees-
sites of the public service should require
larger rooms than at the time the building
was erected, which has already been the case
in the second story. These walls are, in
each story, covered Independently of those
above, and in some cases, as was anticipated,
some slight cracks appeared before the build
