Esq, aged q years.
Mas Katie was . most lovely girl-affectlon-
ate, gentle. wonanly, q pure Christian charac-
ter. But a few days ago We announced the death
OF her mother; now the child follows. If she is
separated from one parent she has gone to join
the other; and. at last. but O little time and all
that knew and loved her will have passed the
portal OF the new and more real lie. Human
Affection will assert itself. and sorrow will move
the hearts Of those whs left behind are bereft OF
their loved one; still. in her life consolation
should be found for her death.
Asleep in Jssus! OH, how sweet.

With molly confidence to sing
That death has lost its painful sting.
Alter the brief editorial obituary printed

young lady. and the lesson that her life CONVEYS

Katie WAS for som years Il pupil Of the 4.
Aull Seminary, and while here was q favorIte
of the entire school. She was teaching at Green
ton last spring. and there contracted u cold
which settled upon her lungs and resulted in
quick consumption. During her long sickness
she was remarkably patient. and. when she
recognized the fact that she was incurably dis
eased, did not shrink from the inevitable result,
but calmly awaited the coming of the messenger
who WAS to carry her home. Death had lost for
her its venomed sting, and was
"But the voice which Jesus sends
To call her to His arms"
She was not only willing but DESTROYS to de-
part and join her mother, who had preceded her
to the home above just fve weeks before.
Katie WAS one of the loveliest characters we
have ever known. Beautiful in face and figure,
with q smile as sweet as an angels, modest,
gentle, intelligent and plous, she seem ed to
lack nothing of the ideal woman. She has gone
where she belongs. The sweetness OF heaven ID

EDITOR lNTKLLIaENCER:--In your last issue
you show, l think, to the satisfaction of any
Impartial mind, that our state supreme court
has treated our people unfairly by not giving
them q hearing in regard to the renewal of Thos.
h. SElnker, their official reporter. We have the
best reasons to ask his removal, which it is not
necessary to discuss at this writing, hut it does
seem to me, Mr.. Editor, that the Office of SUI
preme court reporter should be elective, AS it is
a salaried Office. paid by the people of the state.
We ought to have the right to elect our state
officers.
Let US ask the next democratic convention to
pass a resolution to that effect; and the legisla-
ture to so amend the law. The people OF this
state will never elect the present reporter,
and In this way will rid themselves of an OBJ
noxious man.

The New York Advertiser is a very
staunch republican newspaper, and one
OF the ablest in the country. 1t is au-
thority for the fsllowing:-"A gentle
mar who met ex-Secretary Bristow in
New York a few days ago and con-
versed with him about Justice Harlan,s
course, says he smiled very knowingly
when he said: Il suppose the man who
opposed the constitutional amendments
knows more about them than the per-
SON who advocated them. Judge
Harlan's opinion is very singular, in
view of the fact that he made speeches
Kentucky against the adoption of the
amendments at the time they were un-
der consideration, but his course now
can be accounted for in many ways.n
We can see but one, Pure
demagogism.

We do not pretend at this distance :,
or with the light we have, t o decide
the merits of the controversy between
the Concordia Post and Messrs. Cook
and Duling, but SO far as what has
been printed is concerned it looks this
way: The Post accused the mayor and
Mr.. Duling in a certain case of having
collected illegal fees. Those gentle
men by affidavit prove that no such
case as the IL spoken Of by the Post
was tried, and, otherwise, that they
have the right to collect certain fees.
To this the Post replies that the editor
knocked Mr.. Duling down. Mr.. Du-
ling says he knocked down the Post; SO
here honers are easy; but the Post
does not answer the allegations made
by Messrs. Cook and Duing as to the
alleged case and their rights as to fees.
AS a mere spectator of the dispute we
pause to see it do so.

SPEAKER CARLISLE "
Crow Little Rooster crow.
Carlisle's majority over both, -. Ct

The New York Herald says OF the
election of Mr.. Carlisle:-"It is one
of the cherished traditions of Mr..
Tilden's friends that the sage of Grey
stone said on all occasion, There will
never be a democratic victory until
there is a democratic party If Mr.
Tilden said this he spoke a very true
word, and the choice of Mr.. Carlisle to
be speaker of the house, by the demo-
cratic caucus on Saturday night, ought
to rejoice the venerable philosophers
heart. The accession of Mr.. Carlisle
will make a very great change in the
politics of the country. The political
trimmers who have SO long ruled the
democratic party, and dragged it from
n defeat to another, have at last been
overthrown. For the first time in
many years-no, for the second time
the party stands for something Of it's
own, for reform of abuses, and for the
rights Of the people against monope-
lists of all kinds. We say for the sec-
ond time, because in 1876 the demo.
Gratis stood also for wholesome an5,
necessary reforms, and in that year, as
almost everybody now freely admits
they carried the election"
