They have been in their little world so long they cannot get their ideas above it. and if an intelligent thought should strike them, it would probably end in craze. We don't like to leave anybody in just such fix, but we have done our best for that class of people and we shall have to give them up.
 There is another class of people, who want to be considered smart and don't know how, and so they are trying to ape somebody; they make queer mess of it, poor souls, If they only knew enough to take decent pattern it would be the best thing they could do, but they never will,-their superficial, shallow brains will not allow them to rise above them selves. If we could break their ape shell and hunt them all over for ideas we should find them like a poor crop of potatoes, very small and very few in the hill.
 There is @ class of honest, well-meaning people, SO fossiized with antiquity that they are all coated over with kind of blue shell that is so hard you cannot break it and it's Of no use to try. Some strong men have been hammering away on those shells for long time and they don't seem to make the least impression. People who get into that kind of shell are really lost so far as this world is con- oerned; we suppose it may be possible that they will come out all right some time in the far future, but the heat required to melt their shells will be fearfull They will have to go through that ordeal because they cannot be disposed of in any other way.
 There is one other kind of shell we must speak of We don't know what to call it, but we will mention some of the symptoms people have who get into it. They don't appear to have any moral consciousness and their pre- tentions and professions are all right and their general appearance is very respectable, but they have no more correct moral perception than mule. They are very much like mule ia some respects-they look as though they were pleasant and docile, but they are dread ful kickers. They hardly ever hit anything, but they think they do or are in hopes to and % they keep on kicking. It does no good to whip them, for they never know when they Are whipped. The strangest part of their con- aucs is, they always pretend to be kicking against some great wrong, but watch them closely and you can easily discover the kind of "critter" that is in them. Some people | Ike to stir them up just to see them kick. It nay be about ali the satisfaction one can get | put of them, but we doubt about society ever being reformed in that way People who are fee from shells had better remain free

That Good Tde0.

NE. EDITOR ;-I see in your last issue that Conformist says "The idea of running the school question into serial story is a good one, and betrays decided literary tact in the author." Conformist commenced the school question and have followed him alternately, 90 this, % far looks as though Conformist was experimenting himself. But Conformist says
 50 whom truth Is stranger than fction.' Now whether this means himself or myself am a little st loss to determine, but, at any rate, ev- cry mans work in life Is to be subjected to the eternal judgment, and then will be the time that fiction cannot stand in the place of truth. Truth Is better than statements made by hu- manity you may deny the truth but the truth yet stands. l may have the truth and you may not acknowledge it you may deny that have the truth, yet truth is reality and not form of words. Conformist says, "He should con- Boys of New York, or with N. M. Munro of vel by covered fame" We'll, admit that life is failure which is given to any other work than ones own proper work. It is great thing to know ones proper place and get into it. It is slso oA great thing to know ones own business and attend to it. There is just time enough in oneS life to do right, to do all that he ought to do, and no time for anything else there fore am glad you are able to tenpeople where ene belong. That, perhaps, is another good idea. Conformist says q await with breadth 9esssuspenders the continuation from week to week of the charming story" We'll, this state ment has just as much truth. honesty and WeASnt oI argument Tn It as anything that Con- 'SoEmist has said. "Breadthless suspenders he says. that is, his suspenders have no breadth. wonder if he wants the children of this district to buy him some new suspenders
 he does, just go into school meeting and have it done that would be just as legal and just as proper as to vote that the scholars must pay the teachers extra wages. Now, in the arst place, said this district had no legal right to impose tuition fee upon scholars in . public school. In all that Conformist has said he has failed to show that they had le- gal right to impose tuition fee. i said that anlsss this high school is handed over to the town, the money raised to build the school house was raised by false pretenses. This Con tormist has not even attempted to deny. I have said that the course taken by the district Mas robbing the children of the district of their rights. Conformist has brought forward nothing to disprove that. Now, if your ground is nnsenable, then would it not be another Rood idea to own up and be manly.
 He who gets up wrong has chance of going to bed right, and he may end right if he will for of all the blessings to which we have right, none comes to us so often as the chance of repentance and acknowledgement of our wrong doings. So it is good idea to own up and get right. P. c. CUMM1Nas.

head out and remarked: SIS there no
way of compromising this thing2'
"What-w-what!" gasped Bilkins.
I say, can't we make some arrange

does $4.00 and an old gas stove strike
you?" "Why-this-this is sere-

so I see. Now suppose | were to

Kentucky's financial condition:
"' Trouble upon trouble as the old
man said when the loss OF lis wife
followed close upon that OF his COW.
Kentucky had barely got through
with the election of DR.. Luke r.
Black burp, Of disgraceful notoriety, to
the office of Governor. when the Au-
diIor of Public Accounts formally an =
nounced the Inability of the State to
pay its debts. Thus the party that
elected Blackburn has landed the
State in bankruptcy. Between the
two events, Kentucky is getting n
large amount Of free advertising, that
must cause honorable KentuckIsns to
blush. AT the same time several of the
Southern States which make that Sec
ton solid for the Democratic party are
recorded as having repudisted their
debts. II any body wants to know
what that party would do for the
nation In IN full power. he has only TO
refer 10 the States where it has full
sway. That party tried iIs best to
force the patton into the depth OF re-
pudiatiOn."
