ing population in Kentucky of 379, ,221,
but about 100000 Of these males over q
years of age cannot write, and $4,000 OF
them are whites, and 1000 of them are
colored Out of a school population Of over
half million little over one-third are
found in the public schools, and there
are many school districts where there are
neither school-houses or school teachers.
In Germany there is a school popula-
ton of 7, 10000 but the attendance at
the public schools is 100000. In the
United States, where we make such
boast about the progress of public edu-
cation, there are 15,302,662 pupilage
children, and only 9,729,lS9 attending

How ARABI BAY LooKs-A Philadel-
phia artist who saw Arab in Alexandria
last winter draws this sketch Of his per-
sonal appearance: ga tall, heavy-faced
man, swarthy, with only pretty clear
eve to soften the general harshness of ex-
preston, and black mustache to hide
new particular finely carved mouth. His
legs are as unattractive as his face. The
underpinning looks too frail for the rest
of the body. He Is a bulky man, not
pussy or Falstafian in girth, but broad,
thick chested fellow, built on the lobster
pattern. Take him from his heavy head
to his spindle legs, Arab Pasha reminds
one more of a negro than ofthe agreeable
and pleasant-faced gentleman one meets
among the Arabs and the Egyptians.
In Deerfeld, n. H., a farmer on visit
ing his pasture found fourteen OF his cat
tie dead. The brooks and springs were
dried up, and the poor dumb beasts per-
ished, no doubt, for want Of water. SIM
liar events have occurred in other towns,
and such q drouth has probably never be-
fore been known in some portions OF that
state. Many of the farmers drive their
cattle from the pastures that they may
provide them with water.
Good health is maintained and nourish-
ed by proper attention TO the require
ments of the body, and the avoidances of
excesses. It is wasted or destroyed by
over-taxing the mind with study, anxiety,
evil habits, intemperance or vicious in
dulgencies. Keep the body and brain
we'll balanced by freely using that friend
Of temperance and good health, Browns
Iron Bitters; thus will you live to a good
old age, free from all disease and suffer

The arrest of over 100 women in little
district of Hungary, charged with poison
ing their husbands, and the conviction of
one-third of their number, is one of the
strangest events Of the century. The
poisons used were always slow acting, frn-
quently administered, and so gradually
undermined the health Of the victims that
their deaths excited no suspicion until
the aggregate grew SO large IS to cause
investigation.

THE VERDICT DELAYED.

NO DECISION IN THE STAR ROUTE CASES
THE JURY DISMISSED UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK To-Day
CONFIDENCE OF THE PROSECUTION OF vER-
DICT AGAINST FOUR OF THE DEFENDANTS
DESPERATION OF THE DEFENCE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THIS rRIBUsE.l
WASHINGTON. Sept. GA gentleman who has q
turn for looking up such matters remarked tonight
that if Brady is convicted, it will he the first in-
stance in the history of the Government that
prominent official in any of its branches has ever
been convicted of conspiracy against the Govern
ment.
The interest grows more intense as the time goes
by. and Tonight nothing else is talked Of or
thought Of In conversation with q TRIBUNE
correspondent this evening Mr.. Merrick said: Z" Tho
tact that the foreman of the jury declared this even
ING that. lille ne not authorized to make the
report the jury had nevertheless agreed az to some
ofthe defendants leads to these conclusions First
a conspiracy has, in the minds of the jury. been
proven second. 1t not double conspiracy,
and, third, an overt act has been proven"
Why so n asked the correspondent.
Because" was the reply. the acquttal Of any
of the defendants on technical grounds would
inevitably demand the acqnittal of ALL and
the verdict would have been rendered
before this time. In my opinion Mr. Merlck con-
unucd, the jury has been already led by the test-
mony he ore to the conclusion that Brady Vale.
Minor and Rerdel are guilty.
How As to the other defendants :" asked tho
correspondent.
Well, that" he replied, " believe 10 is still
an open question TO the DOTseys; and, in my
opinion that is where the jury now hang"
Mr. Merrck also said that there Is no longer any
douot of verdict. The hung-jury" fear is nob
now entertained by the prosecution, and it is be-
hcved that IN directing the jury come into court
on Sunday, the in ige uncOnsclOusly expressed his
belief that the verdict will be forthcoming
row. 1t Is believed that the long delay has been
caused by an examination of their notes by tho
jurors, and not by any wide differences among them
Mr. Bliss was present during the interview, aud
cOncurTed in opinion with MIR. McTrick.
The community here ,hOcked this afternoon
by the publication IN Ibe critic of a most eXtraor-
dlnary and outrageous story, IN which Attorney
General Brewster Is charged with drunkenness.
THIS shows the desperation of the defence. Mr..
Bliss is also charged on another page with having
the reputation in New York of being lury-fXer."
The Brewster tory fixes the time several weeks
ago, and locates the scene in John Chambern's
1t says that Brewster threw his arm around Dor
sey's neck and declared that he believed him lnno-
cent, and that this occurred while H. ". iutcbin-
son, J. t. Bosler and John f. Olmsted we're sitting
