famous for their wit, and there is also in
that town agentleman, Colonel "Blank"
who for nearly two generations has had
the reputation of having courted every
heiress in the neighborhood. One of
the sisters referred to said to the other
several weeks ago: "If a million
dollars was left to you, what is the
first thing you would do?"
I" I should fall on my knees and pray
the Lord to keep me out of Colonel
" Blanks clutches"

waited for revenge. The other day the
witty young woman, leaning on the
railing of the piazza at Crab Orchard,
saw the Colonel in the yard below.
"Well, dear me, Colonel" she said,
-" I meet you everywhere go. Can't
go anywhere without seeing you Y''
" Yes, there is one place." calmly re-
piled the Colonel.

END OF AN UNFORTUNATE.
A Young Unmarried Woman Gives Birth to
Child, and Dies.

A young lady, a brunette, apparently
twenty-three years old, and of fine appear
ance, called at Mrs. O'Donnells boarding
house, No. LOG Longwcrth street, about five
weeks ago, and applied for furnished
room. She gave her name as Mrs. James
Graham, and said her husband was lawyer
of Lebanon, KY, who would come for her
in few weeks. Mrs ODonnell noticed
that the woman was enceinte, but never
theless she gave her a room.
About ten days ago DR.. Marcus was sent
for by the young woman. She told him
her condition, and gave him the same
story as given to Mrs. O'Donnell. A few
days later, however, she explained to him
that she was single woman, and that she
had been seduced. She had been school
teacher, and now wanted the Doctor to at
tend to her.
About 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning he
delivered her of a healthy female child, and
left her about o'clock. He prescribed
some powders for pains in the head and
back that she complained of.
Mrs. 0'Donnell was with the woman dur
ing the morning, and found the woman
we'll. She asked her what the babe was 60
ihS W uc Cdilcu, 0Iduduu
replied, ''Pll call it nothing"
About $3.50 o'clock Mrs. O'Donnell left
the young mother, and returning fifteen
minutes afterwards discovered her boarder
to be dead. DR.. Marcus called at noon, and
OF course was astonished at the death.
The Coroner was notified last evening
and the body was ordered to be taken to
Habig's. The infant was for the time be-
ing taken care of by Mrs. ODonnell.
From a letter it was ascertained that the
name of the deceased was Matte E. Cole
man. The letter was dated at Pratville,
Alabama, and was from her mother, asking
her to come back home. DR.. Marcus be.
fore the woman died, was requested to tel
egraph to DR.. s. P. Craig, of Stanford, Ky.
He did so yesterday, but got no reply.
The Coroner up to noon received no re-
ply from the relatives of the poor, unfortu-
nate woman. DR.. Marcus, however, re-
ceived dispatch from DR.. Craig, Of Stan
ford, KY, that the latter gentleman would
be in the city this afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Amid the discus
sions stimulated by the approaching meet
ing of the National Democratic Committee
it is noticed that the name of Samuel j.
Randall is prominently and earnestly men,
toned as the coming dark horse. Tilden's
friends admit that when it is clearly demon
strated that he can not secure the nOmina-
ton his entire strength will be cast for
Randall, taking up the idea that Southern
men admit that Randall would not be OBJ
jectionable to their section, and that he
could easily unite tie vote of the South in
the National Convention.
By Tilden Withdrawing, it is conceded on
all sides, Randall could have the undivided
support of the Pennsylvania delegation,
while New Workers express the opinion
that Randall's nomination would harmon
ize the two factions in their State. Such is
the political situation, as gathered among
the great crowd of politicians from all Sec
tions of the country, who are crowded in
the lobby of Wilard's Hotel. 1t should be
stated tnat the second place on the ticket
is scarcely mentioned, all interest being
concentrated on the Presidential nominee.
