New YORK, Sept. 11.--From the Sun. A
Long Saanch dispatch says the situation has
become critical again, so critical that one ply
sieian frankly admits that while there is still
chance for recovery, it is, he fears, slight
one. The cabinet were informed this evening
of this new complication. They vera not sur
prised, for they have known of the apprehen-

The performance of Star Of the West is,
considering his age, and the fact that for ten
or twelve years past, he has been kept for stud
service, with little or no track work, is really

as il she was female doctor. When
she runs her fingers around his face
and tickles him under the chin with
the lather brush it makes his blood
grow hot and his toes tingle, while
his scalp prickles like an electric brush.
Then when she slips one arm under
his head and grabs hold Of his off ear
and draws the razor to starboard, h,

she hanls his face over toward her ant

Wallace Hruelle Gives 8gekin-
ridge He'll"

Twenty-Five or three years ago we
were the foreman of the Winchester
Chronicle Office We also did all the
writing on The paper except the po
litical articles. The politics OF the
paper was native American, and our
own being unmitigatedly Democratic,
the proprietor oil the paper had 10
look elsewhere for his political anu
milton, our venerable friend, Judge
Flanagan, being his principal polit.
ical writer. One day the proprietor
and one Of the young Gays started
of for week or two's frolic. and
left note informing us that Jno. c.
Breckinridge was to speak in VIM
chester ON the following Monday
County court day., and as Judge
Flanagan was absent from town, he
expected US 10 take notes of Breckin-
ridges speech "and give him hell"
This part OF the instruction was
heavily nnderscorcd, and postscript
assured us that the more hell we gave
Breckenridge the better pleased
would be the patrons Of the Chroni-
Gle. Now there were two important
considerations our employer had
overlooked. l. Itwas not in the
contract for us to perform any edito-
rial labor whatever on the paper. 2.
AS a good and true Democrat, giving
Jno. G. Breckenridge hell was spe-
cies Of blasphemy we did not pro-
pose to engage In. Well, to make .
long story short, Monday came
around, and with it came the then
Vice President ofthe United States.
We had been his warm admirer for
years, and had never lost an oppor-
tuni,y to hear him speak. We went
and took copious notes of his master
ly address. Aud you may be sure in
the next issue of the Chronicle the
Knownothings of Clark county were
treated to more genuine, soul-savIng
political gospel than they had ever
partaken of before. We not only. re.
produced the chief points OF the dis
tinguished statesman's speech, but we
elaborated and explained and argued
until any one picking up paper, and
not aware Of its politicsl bias, would
have imagined that the Chronicle was
as red hot Locofoco sheet as ever
issued from the press and we wound
up the article with the finest and
most eloquent eulogy of Mr.. Breck-
inridge that we could pen. You had
better believe there was a commo-
ton in camp. Indignant Know
nothings came prancing into the Of
fee and had their names stricken
from the subscrip ption list, and for
The space of about q week the name
Of the proprietor was the most unan-
imously execrated cognomen within
our knowledge. They damned him
up hill down dell and across lots.
Traitor, scoundrel and william were
the mitest epithets applied to him,
and when he returned the fun grew
hot and furious. AT first he was as
indignant as any of them, but we
plainly give him 10 understand that
he must stay al home and take care
of his own paper; that whenever be
went off he left the burden of it on
our shoulders, as IN the present in
stance, we would certainly issue a
Democratic sheet. Finally his ex-
plantations and apologies and prom
iscsto keep closer watch. on the pa
per prevailed, and peace again reigned
in Warsaw, but not before the Demo-,
Gratis of old Clark had their full Of
fun out of the way we "gave Breck
