OwrNa TO cause that may never be
explained, we failed to get the Lexing.
ton Press several days last week, and
il was not until friend showed us his
copy that we saw the article, which
we copy on our first page, in reply to
ours about the treatment Of patients
in the Lunatic Asylum at that place,
else we should have noticed il sooner.
The Press is correct as to the source
of our information, but as the lady in
question had been dismissed by the
Medical Board as cured, and as we had
known her before her confinement as
a person OF undOubted veracity, we
saw no reason to doubt her statement,
especially since grave charges against
certain parties connected with the in
stitution had recently been aired in
the newspapers. We regret, however,
since our informant has, at the in
stance of two intelligent physicians,
been returned to the Asylum, that we
allowed our feelings to get away With
what should have been our better
judgment. OF course we had no OBJ
ject in the matter, save to correct an
abuse which we are glad to learn does
not exist, and if we have unwittingly
given offense and injury to respectable
ladies, who know and do their duties in
a proper manner, we are exceeding
ly sorry, and hope they will accept
this our amende honorable.

The Temperance protracted meeting, con.
Quoted by Col. Hoy in a big tent has COM
pleted its FIRST week. Very large crowds were
present every night last week, and the feel
ing of the people is evidently in favor Of
local option. Col. Hoy is genius in some
respects. He makes a deep impression on
the popular mind. Sometimes he is truly
and powerfully eloquent; and then the lu-
dierous, accompanied by punRent wit,
sparkles like flashes Of light on tress loaded
with ice. The saloon men have held a

A MITCHELLsBURG correspondent
asks the apostolic Times if Mr.. Lusk
is worthy of the support of the tenn
perance advocates, stating that he had
heard that he was a reformed drunk
ard. The Times replies that from all
it can hear Mr.. Lusk is very worthy
man, and we agree with it. But we
don't see that the temperance people
will do their cause any more good by
voting for Lusk than for Henry. Both
are reformed drunkards, and while
Capt. Henry may have slipped once
since Mr.. Lusk has, his promise to
"taste not, touch not, handle not" the
accused stuff again forever is appa.
rently as sincere as his. The temper
ance people have just as much reason
to believe that one will remain faith
full as the other, and since there is no
possible show for Mr.. Lusks success,
they should lend helping hand to
Capt. Henry, who is trying fully as
hard to lead temperate life.

A WRITER, who devotes several
columns of the Cincinnati Commercial
to the "political situation" in Ken
lucky, shows his ignorance of the sub.
ject by calling the Sth, the Lexington
District, speaks of it as Senator Beck s
home and the head centre from which
all the democratic machinery issues.
1t further says that W. A. Bradley
will give Phil Thnmpson the hardest
piece of task work, Notwithstanding
the district is from $4,000 to $4,000
democratic, that he ever had in all
the days of his life. We advise the
writer to study up on political affairs
before he makes a second attempt at
letter-writing.

In their efforts to show the world
how much it appreciates the widow of
the murdered president, Congress seems
to have no idea when they have done
enough of good thing. Not content
with paying expenses that would legal
ly come out of Garfeld's estate, and
voting his widow a pension of SIS, 900
per year, giving her the right to use
the mails free of charge, and being
otherwise exceedingly liberal with the
peoples money, it on Friday voted to
pay her one years salary for her hus-
band, less the amount drawn by him
up to the time of his assassination. We
really believe if some fellow were to
offer bill to give her and her family
a carte blanche to check on the treas
ury at will and for any amount, the
sentimental Congressman would carry
it with a whoop.

in Texas as the cause of row in which
