Pig-Iron Pity.
nl..1 rV,...t-n

The most lachrymous creature in
the United States is Pig-Iron Kelley.
His eyes are a. perpetual fountain Of
tears. He is weeping himself almost
to death in Washington over the
wrongs and hardships of the "poor
man." The poor man is taxed too
hiphly on his spirituous consolation.
He is made to pay ten cents a glass
for his grog. whereas, cries Pig-Iron,
if liquor was free he could get drunk
whenever he pleased at five cents a
swig. He can now only get half tight
on ten cents worth Of "red.eye;" but
when the ubiquitous excise Of ninety
cents gallon on alcohol is removed,
the poor man" will be able to make
himsalf as drunk as boiled owl on an
expenditure of ten cents. This will
be glorious, and the name of Pig-Iron
Kelley will be exalted in the land.
The poor man must feel especially
grateful to him when he reflects on the
unselfish motives which actuate the
said Pig-Iron to free the whisky He
only wants to perpetuate the fifty per
cent. tariff bounty to the Philadelphia
WOODEN Mills on the poor mans clothes.
There is no greater philanthropist in
this broad land than the gentle pig
iron man who mourns over the poor
mans wrongs in the matter of whisky.

An interesting case has just been
decided in Green county, Ohio. The
children of man named Jeffreys were
excluded from the schools for whites,
on the ground that they were colored
persons. Jeffries brought suit, and
tried to prove that there was not a
drop OF negro blood in his children's
veins. Now, after two years, the
court has decided that Jeff'res is right
that his children were unlawfully ex-
clnded; that neither they nor their
parents nor ancestors have any mix
ture Of African blood, and a peremp-
tory writ of mand Janus issued, com
handing the school board to admit
the children to all the privileges af-
forded other scholars in the school.
Forty years ago the color Of the blood
in the veins Of the Jeffries was first
brought into question. Parker JEFF
fries, an uncle Of the present claimant,
was dlsfranchised on the ground that
he was not a white person. He
brought suit against the trustees of
the township, which was three times
decided in his favor, the third time by
the supreme court of the state. Here
after the Jef1ries family will doubt
less pass muster as pale-faces.

PORTRAITs OF TWO KENTUCK-
hNR

IANS.
Here is a good description of the
candidates for governor of Kentucky:
Owens Is, indeed, a striking-lookiDg
man. His is a face and figure one
would notice among a thousand. He
Is about 6 feet in height, weighs proba-
bly, l55 pounds, and has 1t so distribut-
ed as to make a form that scu1ptors
might use as a model. His head sits
well on his shoulders. His face is
slightly ~cold-looking, with a heavy I'M
der jaw, projecting upper lip, and
bright, steel-gray eyes. His face is a
perfect mask, and it is only by an in
tensifed CLEAN in his steel-gray eyes
that M knows he is excited. His
nerve is like iron, and his enemies used
to say he was the best poker-player in
KENTUCKY. But they have to admit
o that he has not touched a card for
years. He wears neither beard nor
mustache to relieve the outlines of his
pale, impassiye face. He has a mag
nificent voice, full and resonant-a
voice thai is not surpassed among the

Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.

AT one time the discussion of the secret vice
was nLre avoided by the profession; and
hardly mention II.
To. day the physician is ola different opin-
ION; he is aware that 1t his duty-disagree-
able though 1t may be-to handle this matter
without gloves, and speak plainly about 1t :
and intelligent parents and guardians will
thankh him for doing so.
The r, suits attending this destructive vice
were formerly not understo d, or not proper

tached to a subject which by Its nature does
ly ignored.
The habit is generally contracted by the
young when ~attending school; older COM
