Bowling Green tKy.l Correspondence of the Louis vile Courier-Journal, October 3l
 Mr. Moses Potter, of this county, and Mrs Tabitha M. Fully, of Russellville, were mar rjsd yesterday in the Southern Methodist church at Russellville Eight young gentle men acted as ushers, and Miss Ruth Rizer played the wedding march. The church was crowded with the friends of the parties and the marriage was conducted with beftting soberness and lack of ostentation. After the ceremony Mir. and Mrs. Potter were accom- panied to the depot by over 100 of Russell ville's best people, paying hearty testimon- fal to the genuine worth and great popularity of the couple. MT. Potter is wealthy farmer of this county, and possesses splen- did estate. He is the father of several chil- dren, to each of whom he has presented a nice fortune of $20,O00. He has led an sx- ceedingly active and busy life, and, although
 be is now seventy six years of age, he is in good health and spirits, and is as buoyRnt and vivacious as youth of twenty years He is in many respects most remarkable man. He has done thousands of dollars worth of business with all sorts of people, yet he never had a business misunderstanding with anyone in all his life. He has never had 8 lawsuit, has never served as a witness nor 8
 juror, and has never failed to vote the
 straight Democratic ticket since he was twen-
 tJ-one. The consequence of it is that he is
 to day the most universally popular and be-
 loved man in southern Kentucky. He Is lit-
 erally without reproach and knows no enemy
 on earth. He is esteemed by all classes and
 by all colors, for he Is g friend and benefac-
 tor to all. The lady who has become his
 wife Is his worthy complement She Is a
 weli-preserved, splendid looking woman of
 fifty -nine, and possesses that native grace and
 dignity that only come from noble breeding.
 She is native of the old family of Jordons,
 near Richmond, Va. In RussellviIle every
 body loves her, and while they coupeatuIatd
 and wished her much joy, "the people there
 regret that she leaves them She also pos
 sesses an ample fortune and dispenses her
 charity and hospitality with lavish hand.
 She is especially the favorite of the young
 people of both sexes, and they invariably ad-
 dress her as Aunt Tabby.''

OHIO.

Ok11O.
 Everybody is busy explaining the Ohio af | fair, and it is certainly not very hard work to find special and peculiar reasons for the de- feat of the Republicans-reasons which do not indicate that Ohio is Democratic State
 One thing which worked against the Re- publicans was the change in the tariff on wool In the wool growing counties heavy Democratic gains were made. The change in the tarifscost the farmers of Ohio about $2,- 100000. It has been known that they were very much displeased with the change, but it was not expected that they would go over to the party of free trade because the party of protection did not give them all the protec- tion they thought they were entitled to- But they did.
 The temperance question was 8 powerful factor in the defeat of the Republicans. Senator Sherman is reported as saying: I attribute our defeat to complications growing out of the temperance question. One month ago upon the basis of the Scott law I had no doubt of the election of Judge Foraker, but it is manifest that the attention of Republi. cans was turned more and more to the con- test on the secsnd amendment, and upon that question we lost all the German vote and 8 large conservative vote that was not satisfied that prohibition was advisable in Ohio I know no other reason for our defeat, and have entire confidence that on general political issues the State is thoroughly Republican. The contest on the temperance question was unavoidable, and we had the misfortune to lose the whole of the German Republican vote, while not single Democrat voted for the Republican ticket in conse- quence of our temperance measures. Many thousand Democrats, no doubt, voted for the second amendment who yet voted for the straight Democratic ticket. If, as I suppose, the Democrats have carried the legislature, they will have the burden of the temperance question, and if they fail to meet the advanc- ing state of public opinion! in Ohio on that question, they will be defeated as we have been. I do not think that our defeat will have any effect on the Republican party of the country.
 The prohibitionists must feel elated by the result of their work. They have succeeded in defeating the only party from which they can expect anything. The Republicans gave the State the Scott law, which has done 8 great deal to regulate the liquor traffic and make it pay it's fair share towards public ex- penses. What the Democrats will do remains to be seen, but the prohibitionists who have any wisdom now doubtless see that it would have been wiser to be content with the Scott law. The temperance question was evident ly the chief issue National issues entered so slightly into the campaign that it affords no basis for an opinion as to the result of next years contest.

It is proposed to make trial at Bowdoin college, Maine, of 2 system of government somewhat similar to that which has worked so well at Amherst. A jury is to be chosen by the students and is to consist of one man from each class. one from each of the five Greek letter secret societies and one from the Oudsns Gas those who are not members of any of the Greek letter societies are called) if they are ten ia number The president, or someone appointed by him, is to be the judge.

The judge has the power of mitigating sentence, but not of increasing it's severity.

A correspondent of the London Standard says that the voyage from Liverpool to New York could be reduced to four and half days by the construction of 8 deep water canal from Dublin to Galway or the Shan non. An ordinary canal, which might be utilized for the purpose, already exists be- tween the latter and the Irish capital. The cost of deepening and widening it would be comparatively small, and no engineering difficulties are presented by the character of the country. The journey round the south coast of Ireland would, he says, thus be avoided, and great saving of expense and time effected.

MT. Clinton Roosevelt, metallurgist, pro- poses to use platinum to prevent counter feitiug. His plan is to make small discs of the metal representing the various silver and copper coins in intrinsic value. tsYou can- not counterfeit these," he says, Gin any way that could not be detected at once by blind man, and more, they can be converted into any form desired. Rolled out into sheets platinum can be stamped into shapes suita- ble for postage stamps, and in this way af- fixed to letter would be taken of by the postal authorities instead of cancelling, as is now done with the paper ones, and used over and over again. As they are exactly what they represent, no one could counter felt them. The same for fractional curren- ey. which, in it's present state, is too heavy for Transportation by the mails and people who have occasion to receive small amounts from large distances have heretofore been obliged to content themselves with stamps.

School affairs in New Orleans are in pc
 culiar and disagreeable state. The school board has decided to reopen the public schools on December Sd, after long vacation of six months, being convinced that if they are opened any earlier it will be impossible to pay the teachers regularly. As it is, the teachers have not received anything for June, although an earnest effort will be made to pay them for that month at an early date, with fair prospect of success. Notwith- standing the inability of the city to do any thing, the schools have remained open for some time past on a peculiar pay system; and the great desire for public education is well illustrated by the thousands of children that have docked to them. although they can be no longer called free or public Thore are now 4.529, or about one-fourth the average number of children in the public schools dur ing the winter, taking advantage of this new system, which, moreover, gives employ ment to some two hundred and fifty teachers.

Anthropometry is good word. It means the measuring of men and women. The an- thropometric committee of the British Asso- citation has measured 5s, 900 persons, and finds that Scotchmen are taller than Trishmen.
 Irshmen taller than Englishmen. Euglishmen taller than Welshmen. It is shown, also, that England still has inhabitants whose physique has been inherited from the people who preceded the Celtic settlers. It appears, then, that the neolithic inhabitants of Eng land were not destroyed, but absorbed by celts, Anglo-Saxons, Scandinsyians and the Norman conquerors. The Scandinavians of Yorkshire attain mean height of 6s. s2 inches, while the Lowland Scotch reach e9. 50 inches. In Middlesex there is still some

The Famous En0Iish Cenor

Sims Reeves, the famous tenor, is a portly
man. weighing nearly two hundred pounds, with
a full, chubby face and quantity of curly IRON
gray hair, once Jet black, of which he has always
been proud. He was born in Kent sixty-one
years ago next October, the son Of a village or
ganist. and he learned to read music before he
could read books. His father discovered that
he could sing. and trained him persstently .'By
Jove, he just did, you know says the great
singer; 'eight hours day running scales and
his father as Organist and choirmaster at $40
year. He has now been singing in public for
money for forty years, during most of which
time his fee has been at least $500, and often
$3.50 night. At the Birmingham festivals he
has 81 $50 for each OratOrio ana share in the
profits. which usually brings his receipts up to
5000 night. Owing to his voice at times being
uncertain, he has had to decline in his whole
career fees aggregating about 1875, 600.

The matches between the champions, R. D.
Sears and DR.. Dwight, at st. Georges grounds,
and again at Orange, N. j., must have con-
WINGED many young players that lawn tennis is
game which gives almost illimitable oppOr-
tunity for the development of skill. In fact, the
complaint now made by some is that the game
has become SO highly scientific as to be beyond
the reach of ordinary players. The introduction
of the volley game. by Mr.. Renshaw at Wimble-
don, In 1880, entirely reversed the tactics of the
game. Instead Of keeping to his base line. and
taking each ball on the bound, the English
champion adva2ced in front Of the service line
trusting to the length Of his reach and the
qulckness Of his wrist to volley every ball that
came over the net. In this country there are
some fine opponents Of this style, especially Mr..
Van Rensselaer,, of the Young America club,
Philadelphia, and Mr.. Glyn of the st. Georges
club. not to mention the champions. Mr.. Sears
and DR. Dwight, both OF whom are volleyists Of
the first order. may, however, be doubted
whether in this change of style much of the
beauty OF the game and its interest to specta-
tors has not been lost. The rallies are short
ened, and so rapidly played as almost to defy
and more serious objection is that the vOlley
game initiates against ladies' play, and thus de-
-prives tournaments of their great interest. Last
year at Orange several ladies entered the lists
anu gave some cXceilenC eXnlDlClOn OF skill.
This year there were no ladies' matches. Many
ladies naturally hesitate to take hand in any
sports the result Of which becomes matter Of
public notoriety, but the number who were
present at the tournament at Orange shows
that the interest in the game Is decidedly on
the increase From hygfenic point Of view
the game is of more Importance to the rising
generation Of young girls than to their
brothers. Excessive culture through several
generations has begun to tell on both sexes.
sports should be encouraged BY parents within
reasonable bounds. as the natural counter check
to the brain activity and the nervous exhaustion
caused by the emulation Of school exercises.
