4 Dangerous Item.

The following paragraph has been
going the rounds of the papers Of late
a poison of any conceivable de-
scriPtiUn and degree of potency, which
has been swallowed, may be rendered
almost instantly harmless by simply
swallowing two gills Of swee: oil. An
individual with II very strong consti-
tuition should take nearly twice tins
quantity"
The Scientific American SAYS 1.-The
idea that sweet oil will nentralize such
poisOns as Prussic acid, nicotine and
StryGhnine is almost too absurd to de
mand refutatiOn. In some cases when
taken into the stomach in large guam
titles, il may serve to mitigate the ac-
ton OF pOisons until Il physician can
arrive, but it Is not to be used i'm all
cases, for its use, for instance. after
the swallowing of oil of vitriOl, would
be followed by most fearful results.
rs POisons act adversely upon the
animal economy, there cIn DO no one
specific for all, and it is to be hoped
that no one will be simple enough to
try this antidote, for if he does the
person who penned the absurd state
ment may have Il human life to an

John Cain not Guilty.
lPaducah News.I

When the charges of defllcation
were made against Mr.. John Cain. of
Louisville, we ventured the opinion
that there must be some mistake, and
expressed our confidence in his upright
ness, and also hazarded the remark
that an investigation might set him all
right. The grand jury of jefferson
county have had the matter before
them and after a full investigation re-
port rs follows:
Commonwealth vs.. John S. Cain,
wilfully misappropriating money be-
longing to the jury fund of jefferson
county. Dismissed"
Commonwealth vs.. John s. Cain.
embezzling funds of the Louisville
Gas Company. Dismissed"
Ii is folly for any man to undertake
to go behind these returns. The grand
jury. under solemn oath, declare that
they cannot find sufficient evidence
upon which to find an indictment. and
this ends the the matter, unless some
other evidence should turn up before
the meeting of the next grand Jury
which body will take up the case
again. We congratulate Mr. Cain.

profound lecture on constitutional law,
Mr.. Kellogg proceeded to entertain
several seedy patriots, evidently in
search of office, who had been sending
in cards to him while he was enter
tanning the attache Of the Times. The
inference which the attache aforesaid
drew from the tone and manner of the

Louisiana was that it would not take a

Prince OF Wales Letter.

| Editor Herald:
Again | will, by your permission,
note few items for your excellent
paper.
There has been considerable uneasi-
ness about the wheat crop in this as
well as other counties, but the pros
pect has greatly changed for the bet
ter, and the farmers are now hopeful,
of at least half crop, and perhaps a
greater yield than that. \ fortnight
ago, the prospect was so gloomy, that
many farmers in this and Meade couu-
ty, plowed up their wheat fields and
planted them in corn and other crops
The oat crop never looked more
promising than now.
Corn looks well, considering the wet
season, and greatly over an average
crop has been planted. All farmers
are beginning to realize the fact that
more corn and less tobacco will pay
better. Tobacco is now being sold
quite briskly, at prices ranging at
from 81 50 to So 90. In most the 10
calities of the county, the fruit crop
will be abundant.
Candidates for our county offices
are many, but not so numerous as in
Ohio county.
The most heated contest will be for
the County Court Clerkship. The
candidates are: Gideon Jolly, Rich
ard Skillman AMI J. ID. Wilson. Mr..
Skillman. Democrat, Mr.. Jolly, Re
publican, Mr.. Wilson is running upon
the National or Independent ticket.
Four years ago Mr.. Skillman was
beaten b. Jolly. by II majority. SO
you see the present canvass will be
warm and spirited.
Judges Board, Mercer and Esq.
Dresser, are candidates for county
Judge.
The hardest rainfall during the. sea-
son. fell last Saturday evening.
Wishing that great success may
crown your efforts in pushing forward
the interests Of the Herald, | remain
yours most truly.

Outside View OF MurphJism.

In THE HERALD of My 18th is n
defence of Murphyism against the at
tacks of one who claims to be an tout
slider" The defence is a good one,
but still think there are some things
about the very singular views of this
outsider" that it would be we'll
enough to mention. This outsider 4"
is evidently not only outside all tenn
perance organizations, but outside the
temperance interest. He may think
his are temperance views and his plan
the only practicable Temperance plan.
but the liquor men need nothing else
to insure the continuance and pros
perity of the liquor traffic, than the
adoption of this CONSIDERS plan.
He discards all temperance organiza-
tions lis being insufficient to counter
act the evil-as being too weak to
even check the tide OF intemperance.
If shoaing how powerful is the appe-
lite for intoxicating drinks when once
it is acquired, and showing how ruin
Gus to our physical, pecuniary and
moral interests, is the practice of
drinking-is not the way to cOunteract
the evil, what is the way. What is
the plan? Outsider" says: pub
lie functionaries shall repeal every act
of theirs which legalizes and fosters IL
censed tIppling houses" His plan is
positive legal enac;ments. But if all
temperance men and all temperance
lecturers shut their mouths upon this
subject and abandon their organiza-
tons and pledges, and make no fur
Their efforts 10 educate the people to Il
proper appreciation Of the subject,
when would We ever have such legal
enaCtmentS? Such law is Just what
we want; but would we ever get it :?

of this. And yet, strangely enough,
according to his views, all temperance
eif1rt is utterly futile, and public sen
timent must be left to itself to get into
this prohi litory shape. Great reforms,
especially where there Is a strong pc
cuniary interest involved, as is the
case in the temperance movement, can
only be supported by firm approx
ing of public sentiment. And the in
nuence Of the temperance efforts now
being made, has been brought to its
present state by educating "public
sentiment presenting f.cts to the
people. And if liquor men are still to
pirate about their liberty-about their
right to deal ont, for money. the stuff
that destroys wealth, body and soul,
and all reformatory temperance efforts
to cease, we will never have any law

any other opposition thrown in its way
that liquor men need fear.
We would not accuse " outsider of
being a "cats-paw" for liquor men,
but they certainly ought to feel under
obligations to him for his article for
it is a better defense of their business
than any liquor dealer can make. He
processes to be neither the father nor
the sob of Il drunkard, admits the
evils Arising from the traffic in liquors,
and is in favor of law to suppress it.
And hence his plan is more likely to
be regarded with favor than if it were
presented by a liquor dealer. And
yet his plan is one that liquor men
neel not fear In fact, it IS all they
need want. Temperance men should
not give up their present vantage
grOund-should not cease their efforts
and let go their great work for any
such clap-trap. ANXIOUS.

The Appellate Judgcship.


The most important officer to be
chosen at the ensuing August election,
is that of Judge of the Court of APP
pcals, for this district 1t is an i'm
portant office from its character, its
dignity, and its emoluments. The
Court OF Appeals consists Of four
Judges, chosen from as many districts.
The district comprises twenty-nine
counties, including and lying west of
the following tier cf counties, viz:
Hancock, Grayson, Eimonson, War
rem and Simpson. The Constitution
requires rs conditions of eligibility
that the aspirant shall have been a
practicing lawyer for eight years, and
that he shall have attained thirty
years of age, The Appellate Judge
holds his office for n term of eight
years, and receives Il salary of 5000
per year. The faithful performance
Of its duties requires unremitting and
arduous labor.
Since the adoption of the new Con-
stitution this district has been repre-
scented on the Appellate bench BY
men of conspicuous talent and learn
ing. No other district has made H.
high an dre.uye in this regard. Hise,
Sites, Williams and Lindsay contrib
uted their full share Of ability to
maintain the high reputation long en-
joyed by our highest court at home
and abroad.
In May, 1851, it being the first cleo
ton under the new Constitution, Eli
jah IiSe, Democrat. of Logan county,
defeated John Calhoon, Wing. of
Davies county. In August, 1854,
Henry j. Sites, Democrat, of Chris
tian county, defeated John II. Nc
Henry, ST., Il Wing, of Ohio county.
In August. 1862, Rufus X. Williams,
Union, of Graves county, abetted by
the military, defeated Hiram Neil
roy, Constitutional Democrat, of I'm
ION county. In August, 1870, Viii
liam Lindsay, Democrat, of Hickman
county, defeated Rufus X. Williams,
of Graves county. The political conf
plexion of the district is now such
that there is no possible chance for
any other than Democrat to succeed
Chief Justice Lindsay.
