strong Argument for Prohibit ON.

Says the Kentucky Temperance Ad-
vocate About two years ago Judge
A. W. Bartlett, Of Trimble County,
refused to license the sale of lntoxi-
eating drinks to any man in the County
This new departure by a County Judge
was heralded all over the land, and a
charge Of insuborlination was made,
and an appeal went up to the Court OF
Appeals. But the Judge remained firm.
He looked at the work of the license
system in the County; he saw e,i only
evil, and that continually and he re-
solved that by his hand no more men
should be allowed to work ruin among
his people that in eternity no rum
seller should hold up his license and
say, "Here, Lord, is my authority,
signed by the County Judge Of Trimble
County"
The Court Of Appeals sustained the
Judge, and since that day not licensed
rum shop has been granted for the
County Now, mark the result To-
day there is not a criminal case on the
docket in Trimble County, not crimi-
nal in the Jail, not pauper in the
County, not n licensed bar-room.
Last County Court day, though the
County seat (Bedford) was crowded
with people, not a drunken man was
seen in town. Perfect order aud good
will reigned. No husband went home
a terror to his wife, no father demon
to his children. w. &. T. L.

4 Church Street Row.

Last Saturday afternoon a gang of
young men, nearly all of whom were
under the influence Of liquor, became
involved in a fight at Fourth and Church
streets, that for a time made things
very lively in that vicinity. The row
commenced with two Of the party who
engaged in a wrangle about some tri-
fling matter, when one struck the other
in the mouth, and in less than min
ute the fight became general. After
knocking each other around for some
time they ceased, and the crowd sepa-
rated to make things lively in different
places in that part of the city. These
scenes are IA disgrace, still, no: much
better can be expected so long us the

His Rich Joke.


The other day baggage wagon brought q
trunk to the Union depot which was labeled !:
Dynamite within-smash il you dareW
The trunk was closely followed by young
man who had about seven minutes to get his
check and catch the train. When he pre-
sented his ticket and asked for his check the
baggage master replied:
"This trunk can't go US baggage"
"Why"
"The contents are dangerous. You'll have
to remove it from here at once. or I'll make
you trouble"
"But there is no dynamite within"
"There is the warning"
"Yes, but that was for joke on the bag
gage smasher."
"Young man, a railroad never jokes. Get
that trunk out of here"
Come, old fellow, it was only in fun" en-
treated the smart Aleck. 81 have only four
minutes to catch tho train"
r"lf you do not remove the dangerous trunk
I shall have to call an officer" was the firm
reply.
"a tell you it is not dangerous"
LET me inspect it,"
This was grudgingly acceded to, and moth
ing more dangerous than four shirts, which
sadly needed washing, were discovered. By
this time the train had departed, leaving the
joker with eight hours on his hands, and as
the trunk was relocked he was handed the
scraper aud the advice;
young man, it might be safer for you to
label yourself with something like, Perish

Tho Princes Pocket Money.


Charles X, of France, when child, was
one day playing in an apartment Of the pal
ace while a peasant from Auvergne was busilS
employed in scrubbing the floor. The latter,
encouraged by the gaiety and playfulness
of the young count, entered familiarly INFO
conversation with him, and to amuse
him, told him number of diverting stories
and anecdotes of his province. The prince,
with all the ingenuousness of childhood, ex-
pressed his commiseration for the narrator's
evident poverty, and for the labor which he
was obliged to undergo in order to obtain a
scanty livelihood.
"Ahr' said the man, "my poor wife and
FIVE children often go supperless to bed"
"Well, then" replied the prince, with tears
in his eyes, "you must let me manage for
you. My governor every month gives me some
pocket money, for which. after all, have no
occasion, since l want for nothing. You
shall take this money and give 1t to your
wife and children but be sure not to mention
word of the matter to living soul, or you
will be finely scolded."
On leaving the apartment the honest de.
pendent acquainted the governor of the young
prince with the conversation that had taken
| place. The latter, after praising the servant
highly for his scrupulous integrity, desired
| him to accept tho money, and to keep the af.
| fair profound secret adding that he should
have no cause to repent OF MS dlscretion. Al
| the end of the month the young Count
d'Artois received his allowance as usual, and
watching the moment when he was unob-
served, hastily slipped the whole sum into the
hands of his protegc.
On the same evening childs lottery wa
proposed, for the amusement of the young
princess, by the governor who had purposely
distributed among the prizes such objects al
were most likely TO tempt a boy Of thu
counts age. Each of his brothers eagerl!
hazarded his little store, but the Count
d'Artois kept aloof from his favorite amuse
ment. The governor, feigning establishment
at last demanded the reason of this unusua
prudence; still no answer from the count
One of the princes, his brother, next testified
his surprise, and at length pressed the younl
count so hard that, in a moment of childisl
impatience, he exclaimed:
"This may be very we'll for you, but wha
would you do If, like me, you had wife anC

Unanimous for Cheaper Gas.


The Columbus Gaslight and Coke company
last night had their charter renewed for ten
years from May ! last, but at prices consider
ably less than those that have formerly pre-
vailed. By the terms of the new contract,
the price to the city is to be $1.15 per thou
sand feet and to private consumers $1.25 per
thousand. This is decrease of fifty cents
on the old price to private consumers, and as
Mr.. Briggs said last night, before voting for
the ordinance, will save the citizens of Co
lumbus at least $4,000 annually The city
solicitor gave it as his opinion that the new
contract would not invalidate any other that
might be entered into by the city going so
far as to say that the city could not legally
make contract that would give an exclu-
sive right to any company The vote on the
acceptance of the offer Of the Columbus Gas
company was unanimously yeas.

IN the light Of the criticism Of the Spring

him full justice. The Republican prints
the whole document and brands 1t fthe
most magnificent humbug and swindle Of a
long life Of demagogic ehrontery and pre-
tension The dissection Of the message is
ample justification OF the scathing denun'
citation. The Governors statement that the
property qualification Of Massachusetts dis.
franchises over SO per cent. Of the citizens
who would vote il they could is declared
to be "a lie, as anybody knows who is

ence, bright looking girl Of about fifteen
years, with attempting to poison her. Mrs.
Magagens told Justice Otterbourg that
when she sat down to lunch yesterday at
noon she noticed peculiar odcr coming
from her teacup. While examining it she
happened to notice her daughter Florence,
who stood near, anxiously watching her.
She Immediately suspected that the girl
had put something in the cup and accused
her OF having done so. Florence at first
denied knowing anything about about 1t,
but finally acknowledged having put car
bolic acid in the cup with the intention OF
taking her mothers life. She said she was
sorry she had not succeeded, and that she
would try again and again until successful.
