Thrilling Incident.

II was In the cabinet-makor's shop,
and party OF strangers were looA-
ing At tho different labor saving de-
vices. One gentleman, very short
sighted had tarried at tho bench across
the DOM. lie was examining cir
cular saw that was whirling around
with lghtning.like rapidity. Absor-
bedly interested In the piece OF me-
chanism, his face grew nearer and
nearer TO the cruel teeth, tearing
round and round with romorseless en-
ergy. AT this instant his friends
turned about. They saw his danger.
Inevitably the gap grows smaller aud
smaller Spellbound, they are unable
to utter q sound. They cannot on
dure to see their friend torn and la
cerated. Instinctively they shut their
eyes. Then comes the awful jar col
lision. Thereis a whirling sound and
a crash. A shudder runs through
them all. The next instant they
heard the voice Of the cabinet-makor ;
or course you will pay-for that saw
sir.p Their friend escaped uninjured,
But tho saw. was shattered. IL had

lie came to Owonsboro poor young
man, and by faithful attention to his
business, aided by his innate talent,
he steadily added to his fortune, and
at the same time made an enyiablc
reputation as moral, hightoned cIti-
zen, and his popularity among his
homo people knows no bounds. The
greater portion Of his life has
been spent In Journalism, and through
the columns OF his newspaper and by
the active part he has taken In poll
tics, together with his clerical service
In Congress, he has become widely
known among his politicians and the
people, and no man eau justly say
aught against MIN. His ability has
been frequently observed, by those
who are not aware OF 1t by constant
association, in public lectures and
speeches, and his friends are confident
that he can cope with any antagonist,
bc he on the stump or the floor OF the
House. His long clerical experience
in tho House, tho acquaintapces he
has made with the members and his
familiarity with the routine Of the
business, will make him like new

Mr.. McKenzie'a Withdrawal.
lowoasbOro Mels.s,cnger.l !. I.

The announcement that Hon. James
A Mckenzie had withdrawn from the
race for Congress on account OF his
falling eycsight which was made on
Wednesday, created great surprise
and much comment in political cir
cles. 1t will be remembered that q
year ago Mr.. Mckenzie was totally
blind and for time the restoration
OF his sight was despaired OF; but
with the best medical attention aud a
stay at Eureka Springs, Ark, he par
TALLY recovered and for several
months past it has been thought his
eyes were almost as good as ever.
However, the very light canvass he
has made Of the district since he re-
turned from Washington has had the
effect Of again bringing on the trouble,
aud last week he waa compelled TO
abandon tho canvass In Union county,
and return TO his home in Christian,
That he should be compelled to
quit the race on account Of this afflic-
tion causes the deepest regret among
his friends, even those who would
have supported one OF the other can
didates, all over the district: aud
probably no man In the district ever
had warmer, truer or more personal
| friends than James A. Mckenzie. In
abandoning the race for Congress, we
trust, iu common with q great many
others in the district and State, thai
Mr.. Mckenzie win neither be com.

early restoration to perfect health and
return TO public life will be looked
forward to with solicitude by those
who most appreciate his bright talents
IN this day OF mediocre men.
The withdrawal of Mr.. McKenzi,
simplifies the Congressional race IN
this district. 1t Is q well-known fac

cratic party In this district that figh
each other In each succeeding canvas
as surely as the election time roll
around. 1t was at first the McKenzi'
faction against the Spaulding factioi
inlS76. when such bitter prejudice
were aroused that they have nevo
since died out. Then in 1878 Mr. Cla
