Gems Of Thought.

Love sees as God sees, and with inf
mite pardon. -
Whoever learns to stand alone mus
learn to fall alone. .sr-
A kindness can never be cancelled
not even by repaying it. --5
Youth should be patient, because the
future lies before it.
The heart ought to give charity when
the hand cannot.
| A fine and honorable old age is the
childhood of Immortality.
A man Of numerous desires is of all
beings the most Independent.
He who waits at the gates of by and
by enters at the gates oflnever.
Art must anchor in nature, or it,is the
sport of every breath of folly.
Acts, looks, words, steps, form the
alphabet by which you may spell char
acter.
1t is better to do the idlest thing In
the world than to sit idle for half an
hour.
He that has never known adv ersity is
but half acquainted with others or with
himself.
Despair and postponement are cow
ardice and defect. Men were born to
succeed not to fail.
Lovers are apt to hear through their
eyes but the safest way is to see through
their ears.
Impoliteness Is derived from two
Observation-Disclosures to the divine and
contempt for the human.
Tenderness and its outcome, pity. are
as inseparable from the true manliness
as true womanliness.
Things are not so UNEQUAL as many
people imagine. What is wrong here
will be righted hereafter.
Harsh counsels have no effect; they
are like hammers which are always re-
pulsed by the anvil.
A good deed is never lost; he who
sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he
who plants kindness gathers love.
Our own hands are Heavens favorite
instruments for supplying us with the
necessaries and luxuries of life.
In this great theatre of life it is per-
mitted to God and the angels to be spec.
tators, but all must be actors.
If you boast of a contempt for the
world, avoid getting into debt. 1t is
giving to gnats the fangs of vipers.
When man dies men inquire what
he has left behind him; angels inquire
what he has sent before him,
What are a few years Of what men
call sorrow and burden bearing to an
eternity of blessedness?
The temperate are the most truly lux
urious. By abstaining from most things
it is surprising how many things we
enjoy.
They that will not be counseled, can
not be helped. If you do not hear rea-
son she will rap your knuckles.
Gods providence may seem slow in
dealing with men, but it is helping
them to build character for eternity.
An aged Christian, with the snow of !
time on his head, may remind US that
those points on earth are vhitest which |

Mr.. Pritchard few years since purchased
controlling interest in the city railways, and
subsequently bought mortgage against it for
somewhat upwards of S45 900. He afterwards,
as it is stated, placed this mortgage in the
hands of the Capital Saving Bank of this
city, to secure overdrafts to the amount OF
some seven or eight thousand dollars. This
mortgage has been recently foreclosed by the
Capital Savings Bank, for the al

railroad with all appurtenances and property
belonging to the company sold by the Sheriff
and purchased by J. L. circuit, for the
amount due upon the face of the mortgage
amounting to some forty-fve or forty-eight
thousand dollars. Its now stated that Mr..
circuit has since transferred his title thus
obtained to the road to r. S. Carey,
of the Capital Savings Bank. The fact of
this last transfer has led the stockholders
who were frozen out by the foreclosure of the
mortgage to suspicion that the whole transac-
ton of foreclosure and sale was really legal
cover in favor of Mr.. Prichard, and they are
already taking steps to set aside the entire

A raft OF $50 walnut log, passed down for
BoonvilIe, yesterday.
Miss Emma Bobbitt read at the opera
house, last night, to a good audience. We
regret that,it being our press mighty we can
not rep ,rt the entertainment in this issue.
The powers of the mayor of the city OF
Lexington are very circumscr ibed. They
are plainly LAID down In the charter, and
nowhere, either in so many words or by
Implication us he authorized to 'recognize,"
as a city officer any person moi recdSniz-d as
such by the council. Nowhere in the char.
ter is the mayor given any privilege to con-
slider or weigh the question OF who is or
who is not elected to an ofics. Section S,
Article =, OF the.ch arfer says :-.'Whenever
the election of any officer Is contested, the
council shall determine the same by a ma
jority vote of the members present." Sec
tlon 8. Article 2, is as follows :-"Whenever
TWO or more persons receive an equal num-
Der of votes Tor any city OH &c, the judge OF
the lection ~shsRseertlfy the SAM to the
council. who shall order = new election i'm
mediateiy." Section 2.+Afticle 4, Is partly
In these words IA majority of the city
council shall constitute a quorum. to do
business Now the council has obeyed the
charter. The election OF Mr. Turner was
CONTESTED l.. The council determined the con-
test by = majority, such minority consist
ing of i've members, there being eight men,
bers in all. Mr.. Turner refused to let the
ballots be seen. when they would mostin-
dubitably have shown that he was not elect
ed by l"gaI votes. The con ell out Of pre-
caution Of fairness declared, from the EVIL
dence they adduced. u tie. They were, rs
the body before which the contest was
tried, 1.-The judge OF the election" AS such
judge they certified this tie, and by the
plain terms OF the charter, did right when
they ordered a new election. 1t does not
matter what technical legal opinions may be
rendered on this point, We do not believe
that any court will ever reverse that action
certainly no unbiased reading of the char
ter can convey any other idea of what Is in
tended. Tie only point at ISSUE, that We
can see, Is a constitutional one, upon which
the best legal lights slime from two direc-
tions. Where is the mayors power to set
himself up As a judge OF the acts of the cuun-
ell: We fail to find 1t anywhere writ down.
The oh ,rtsr does say this, though If
vacancy occurs In the office OF Mayor, or If
he be unable to perform his duties
by reason II temporary or contin-
ued absence Or sickness, the coun-
oil shall proceed to elect one of their
number chairman. pho shall discharge the du-
ties Of mayor, until the mayor resume his Of
flee, or his vacancy be TILED by . new cleo
ton" Mayor john has Intentionally alb
sented hlmself from the three or four
last meetings. of the council. Is 1t to be
supposed that the business OF The city Is to
be stopped by his contumacy and ohstinacy?
Not at all. Let the council go on, and do
its duty regardless OF his wnims.
