Adyices from Europe manifest a
great and universal a!ar n concerning
the spread Of the plague, now becom
ing prevalent ia Southwestern Russia
where It's mortality is reported rs
frightful Uuder the dread OF vista
tiou by this fearful scourge, the gov
ernments of Western Europe are in
stitu;ing the most rigorous measures
of quarantine, by land aud by sea,
against its spread iuto those countries
The Russian Government has pres

domiuions; aud is seriously consider
ing The advisabiiily of committing TO
the Bamos the entire villages where
this dreadful disease has gained foot
hold, the inhabitants being first re-
moved aud provided for, all else to be
burned o ashes.
Should such a measure prove really
efficient for the extinction of this
deadly contagion now threatening that
Empire, it would be the wisest AID
cheapest thing to DO for the public
good. For, the raypges heretofore
sustained from former visitations Of
plague would we'll Justify the resort to
most extreme measures TO prevent
its recurrence. And it is in view OF
those previous ravages that al Europe

A Sanitary Law.

The terrible sufferings and sore
Affections through which the country
has passed, and is called upon to pass
through periodically, is arousing the
intelligent mind to the absolute neces
sity and importance Of a thorough
system of sanitary laws.
These laws should be national, State,
county, aud municipal, and public
sentiment so educated as to insure their
prompt and rigid enforcement.
The public welfare demands such
laws for the protection of the peoples
health precisely as the public good
demands laws for the protection of the
people in their civil, religious, aud
political rights and privileges.
1t is public crilne-a crime against
God and humanity, if not against any
statute of Kentucky-for one man 10
maintain his property in such condition
as to destroy the health Of his neigh
bors. 1t appears incredible that an
intelligent, civilized people, like Ken,
tuckians, should have so long neglected
such system of laws. True, we have
State law against maintaining a nui
sance, but it is so general, so difficult
of enforcement, that it amounts to
nothing.
One of the great arguments in favor
of DR.. Black burn for Governor, is that
out Of his large experience as a ply,
stefan, contending with epidemics, he
may be able to devise and recommend
to the State good and efficie Mt system
of sanitary laws.
The Surgeon-General Of the United
States has recommended a national
system, and it needs to be supported
by similar efforts By the States, coun-
ties, towns, an cities.

Competition the LIE Of Trade,

There are some men who cant stand
competition-they become discouraged
go to growing aud complaining, aud
give up" These GROWERS demOralize
and discourage everyone that comes
around and about them, and profit not
themselves cent. The only way for
business man to succeed is not to
listen to the GROWERS, but knuckle
right down TO business aud keep push
ing. Pash is the word
Prosperity is the result Of a combi.
nation of causes, different, in some
respects, to every individual that reaps
it; but life, activity, energy and good
spirits are indispensable attendants
Growing is contagious, and success is
contagious-that is to say, either
spreads its Influence. Let majority
of business men in town unite to dis
parage trade, depreciate the town, and
predict ruin and bankruptcy, aud their
prediction is mighty apt 10 come true,
for they help to demoralize the very
elements that might assist in bringing
prosperity. But let it be reversed, aud
a majority show life, activity, enter
prise, encouraging others by word aud
example, and prosperity comes stalking
along from sources and directions that
the crOaker never dreamed Of.
But there will be eroakers. They
are natural, if not necessary, evils.
Some of them. like those of old, "are
possessed of the devils" aud there is no
power to cast them out, because there
can be no faith. But if you, yourself,
would succeed, avoid them-don't
listen to them-or in that hour Of dis
couragement which every man has, you
will become a victim to their demoral-
izing influence. If the croakers' pre-
dictions are true, are you benefited in
mind, body, or estate, BY surrendering
INCREASINGLY to the situation ? Ifycu
live in a community, and don't hate its
people, why strive to auderrate, depre-
ciate, and abuse everything? You
may imagine that Everybody is to blame
but yourself, and the only thanks you
get will be that every body returns the
compliment. But there is no money
in this; there is no success; there is
nothing in it but bad spirit, demorali-
cation, aud Encouragement. Let's
done with this. If you are discour-
aged, nothing will save you, or pros
per you, but yonr o,oa push.

THE HICKMAN COURIER,
Only am HdIe Fancy.

Twas only IN idle fancy,
They said, and they laughed, forsooth
At the foolish and fond delusi)n,
The dream of love-sick youth
The sweetest of summer idyls,
When all the world was in tune,
Declared but fevered frenzy,
From which I'd recover soon.
We met and the skies exultcd;
We spoke, and our hearts stood still,
As if we were only actors
That moved at another's will;
And all through the summer season,
With moonlight, flowers and song,
We threaded our lives together,
And wove our affection strong.
Velvet, ana silk, and satin,
Jewels, 1ad ld.galore,
Bucles, tiseis and bangles,
Nothing Of these she wore;
Simple and plain her dresses,
And worn with exceeding grace,
And all that had won my fancy
Shone out of her lovely face.
The soul may carelessly wsEeter,
Untouched by the hand Of fate,
Free of the bin ding fetter
Until il has met its mate;
Then shall its soaring pinions
lie clipped by the touch OF Love,
And the heart Of the mighty eagle
De one with the cooling dove.
Twas only an idle fancy.
That might linger the season through ;
Only a young mans folly
They said-but they spoke not true;
For time is the test of honor,
Though youth is ickle aud gay,
And the sweetheart l won that summer
Is the joy of my life to-day

and jealous supporter. At the expiration
OF two years George was assigned rs mid

LOTinssv KY Outlook
The rock ribbed hills and woods of
Northeastern Kentucky again resound
to the crack OF the deadly rifle in the
hands OF desperate factions. This time
the miniature war is being carried on
10 Perry county, which lies contiguous
to that Of the much written up, bloody
Brearhift. Our Information, which Is
gathered from thoroughly reliable
source. is to the effect that me factions
composed of the Morgans, Vermilions
Bakers and Combses on the one side
and the Dayidsons and another set Of
Combses on the other, number at least
twenty FIVE bold, fearless men on each
side. One clash has already occurred,
in which one Of the NermilIions was
shot through the hips and dangerously
wounded. This shooting was done
from ambush, one Of the Morgans
being 10 company with Vermiilion at
the time. Our informant says the
Morgan party recently purchased 10
Cincinnati y Ballard rifles, with which
they expect to speedily clean out their
enemies, amongst whom, as was the
case in Breathitt, are a number Of
negroes. The origin of what promises
TO be the boodiest vendetta in the
history Of our crime stained State dates
back to the August election of 1873,
at which election one OF the Davidsons
was the successful candidate for the
office of County Court Clerk, agoinst
one of the Morgan side. The excite
ment ran high at the time, money 10
unusual quantities for that section
being freely used. There has been
20 abatement in the bitterness of the
feeling then engendered, which finally
eliminated in the shooting and per
haps mortal wounding of Vermi!lion.
