A Kentucky Horror.

A special dispatch to the Louisville,
Courier Jo,TndJ from Clarksville, Ky,
says f: I" Much excitement was caused yes
ierday by the lodgment in Jail of Daniel
Lyle, colored, his wife, and a negro
woman named Susan Talley. Lyle and his
wife have lately become monomaniacs upon
religious subjects. He asserted that he
was the Saviour, his wife the Virgin Mary
aud Susan Talley, who lives with them,
prophecies. In his zeal he has, on divers
occasions, appeared at places of worship
for both white and black people, and in
sisted on playing his part as preacher.
Yesterday Constables Romily and Saun-
ders procured warrant for his arrest upon
the charge of disturbing public worship,
and went to his house to execute the same.
Lyle resisted furiously, and assaulted Con-
stanble Saunders with an axe. Constable
Romily fired three shots at Lyle, one of
which took effct in his right breast and
osher two in the groin. Lyle then return
ed to his house aud barricaded the win
dows and doors, but he surrendered when

al posse.
Upon entering the house the officers
smelled putrd flesh, and on making search
found two OF Lyles children, aged respec-
lively three and five years, dead, with their
necks broken. The impression is that the
murder was instigated by the two women,
who have both yielded strong influence
over Lyle, and that he did the killing to
relieve the women of the care of the
children, believing that for the occa-
sion he was Herod. Lyle's wounds are
very painful, but are not considered
mortal.
tB- A strange disease has recently made
its appearance in the family of Andrew
Shaw, of Oxford, Ind, which resulted in
the death of four Of Mr.. Shaw's children
during the past three weeks. A swelling
in the throat appears with few hours at
tendant sickness, and death ensues. The
doctors say it is not diphtheria.

WOmen's ) Headaches.

One of our English contemporaries has
wisely been devoting some thought and
space to the common and very distressing
fact that a great many English women
suffer from headache. The same trouble
prevails III America, and men, no matter
how selfish they may be, are deeply con-
eerned about it, for a wife with head
ache cannot be companlonable, the best
of sweethearts with a headache is sure
to be unreasonable, while lady who
has neither husband nor other special
cavalier to engross her atten ton can rum
the peace of mind of every one she meets
while she has headache of perceprble
size. No amount OF masculine grumbllng
is likely to change all this, but women
themselves might change it # they would
comprehend the cause of the malady and
then apply their nimble wits to the work
of prevention or cure. The trouble is that
all American women who have headaches
live indoors, where the best air is never
good, and the worst is poison, and they
have none of the exercise which save men
from the popular femlnnel malady. We're
a strong man to eat breakfast at any Or
dinary American table and then sit down
to a rk-table or machine, or even
move about briskly from one room to
another, he would have splitting head
ache before noon, and the chatter OF his
innocent children would seem to be the
iargon of fends The midday meal
would increase his wretcheduess, and by
dusk he would be stretched In misery
upon his bed, with one hand mopping
his forehead with ice water while the
pther would threaten with club or pistol
any one who dared to enter the room or
make noise outside There is no reason
| WHY women should not suffer just as Sc
verelv for similar ransgresslons OF physl-
cal law. True, indoor lite is compulsory
for a large portion of every day, but spe-
eial physical exercise in a we'll aired room
| is within the reach of almost every woman,
and so is q brisk walk in garments not
so tight as to prevent free respiration.
There is very little complaint OF head
ache at summer resorts, where windows
are always open and games and excursions
continually tempt women who do no
value complexion more than health
| Girls who ride, row, sail and shoot seldom
| have headaches; neither do those un
fortunate enough to hoe potatoes or play
Maud Muller in hay fields. Let womeI
OF all social grades remember that tn
human machine must have reasonable
treatment and be kept at work or pla.
to keep it from rlstlng; then headache
will be rare enough to be interesting. =

What He Didn't Break.

Rev. Mr.. Genrthux fell down stairs one
Sunday morning, with q flower vase III
one hand. pitcher of water in the other,
a lamp globe under his arm, and china
saucer tucked III his coat pocket. He
was trying to carry all these things
down stairs. and he succeeded. But
when he got them to the bottom and his
anxious wife screamed from the head of
file stairs to know if he had broken any
thing, he took al account Of stock and
calmly reported that ''he had broken
everything but the Sabbath. !
"The only thing petnlantly COM

that Ne could afford to break.

An Example for Office Seekers.

The great number Of Wings who had
swarmed from Virginia to Washington at
the Inauguration of Harrison, in search OF
offices, and who had not been successful,
when Mr.. Tyler became President were
very importunate, says an article IN the
Atlantic. Prominent among them was
.Ola Dade,' as he was called by all who
knew him. who was born near the spot
made famous by the surrender OF Corn
wallis, and who was an applicant tor the
position of warden of the district peni
tentiary Before he received his appoint
ment. President Harrison died, and "Old
Dade" then began to importune his sue
cessor. One day Mr.. Tyler said: "Dade,
| should like to appoint you, but they
tell me that yeu drink too much. rs
that all they say about me?" responded
Dade Mr.. Tyler smiled, and observed.
1 think, in all conscience, that is

dignant Dade. when people talk about
me, l want them to tell the truth, sir !.
| they should have told you, sir, that there
is no gentleman in the city OF Washing
ton so thirsty as | am Mr.. Tyler, IN
the goodness of his heart. could resist no
| longer, and "Old Dade' was commits
| stoned warden Of the penltentiary. When
| he took charge he had al OF the convicts
called up, and made this brief speech to
them: "Boys, I'm your boss. II you Il
behave yourselves like gentlemen, III

When Lucy came down again, there
seemed new heaven and a new earth.
Nab was gone. Allen had never been
so tender. and she was too weak at first
to do aught but succumb to tenderness
which anticipated her every want. But
by-and-sye they could talk together.
MAIDS conduct was shameful said
Allen.

vention was large and harmonious,
and it is thought much good will re-
suit from its action. Col. r. P. Cole,
the nominee, is too well known to our
readers for US TO introduce him to
them. Sufficient to say that his name
was the only one presented to the
body, it being generally conceded that
he is the strongest man in the district,
as well as one of the ablest. He will
carry large part of the Wilson par
ty in Henry county, on account of his
mild and temperate treatment of the

for their course, but having at all
