For many years the Governors OF New

Tnr election returns come in un

THE election returns come in un-
usually slow but a sufficient number
are in 10 indicate that the usual demo-
cratic majority has been maintained. At
any rate, if there is any falling Oh Il
does not arise from anything that Col.
Morrow or Mr.. OBradley has said or
done, but simply from the fact that
a great many democrats knowing full
we'll that our nominees are always
elected any way, fail to put themselves
to the least trouble to 10 to the polls.
The republicans have made, no gains
in members of the Legislature If in
deed they have held their own. Gar.
rard sends republican representative
and so does ROckcastle and Laurel but
they did 80 in 1881. In Louisville. the
great contest was in the CALDWELL
Clay race for the Legislature, and
vast amount Of money was used OF
both sides. Caldwell was better
heeled in that respect than his op.
ponent and was consequently elected
by SO majority. The other repre-.
sentatives-elect in Louisville are Al
bert Stoll, Phil Gernert, +. f. Mad.
den, j. b. Read, Mike Scott and w.
l.. jackson. The Senators-elect are
Frederick, Hays and Smith. David
Merriwether was reelected 10 the
Legislature in the county. In Lex
ington there is a net democratic gain
over the McCreary-Harlan race Of
965 and in Mr.. Knott's own county
the majority is greatly increased.
Madison elects democrat, Mr.. j. II.
Burnam, to the Legislature by 1893.
Two years ago republican carried it.
In Pulaski Col. Morrow, on account
ofhis personal popularity, has about
700 majority, a republican gain of
200. Wayne county elects Bell, dem
Ocrat, to the Legislature by 55 and
Breashear, democrat, is elected in Ca
sey and Russell. On the whole the
democrats have great cause for rejoic-
ing. The people have shown that
they do not believe Bradley's cam
paign documents are founded on facts
and he can quietly retire to the rear
and cogitate on thefact that Kentucky
democrats are neither gullible nor
credulous.

"The action of some men claiming
to be Democrats. who voted and
worked against the Democratic can
didate for the Legislature, should not
be permitted to go unrebuked. A
man who can 60 for or against a party
nominee with the facility of changing
his coat should not be permitted to
have a voice in Democratic councils,
but be classed with the enemy and
treated accordingly" The above from
the Frankfort Yeoman expresses the
matter in a nutshell and we commend
it to the faithful democrats of Lincoln.
An alleged democrat who bolts
whenever he does not like the nominee
is even worse than republican. You
can always tell where to count the lat.
ter, the former can never be relied on,
and ought not to be allowed the name
of democrat.

Thrilling Adventure.

An old Snowman tells the following
exciting story of his experience when
connected with well-known menagerie
during an engagement at Smithland,
KY: after the exhibition was over"
he says, Il passed into the menagerie to
talk to the Waterman. From some
cause he was absent from his post, and I
walked across the amphitheater toward
my old friend, the elephant, to give him
an apple, for we were the best of friends.
He was one of the largest elephants [
ever saw, and was as good-natured as he
was large. was about half across the
ring when I heard growl, and, looking
around, saw to my horror one of the
lions out of his cage and approaching me
IN crouching manner, ready for a
spring. I thought of thousand things
in moment, and among them I must
have regretted perpetrating so many
old wOrn-out jokes at the performance
that night. [ had sufficient presence of
mind to realize my dangerous situation
and to know that it required the utmost
caution to extricate myself from it. One
haSty motion on my part and [ would be
in the jaws of the monster. I felt that
my only hope was the elephant, if ]
could reach him, but he was chained bv
the foot and could not reach me. Near,
and nearer came the lion, waving his
tail in manner that meant business. If
turned my back he would spring; if [
took my eyes from him, [ was lost. It
was terrible moment. I glided back
ward swiftly as I dared. Ihad another
fear. [ feared stumbling backward, and
knew if did fall [ would never rise,
but that where I fell I would make a
meal for that lion. AS I neared the
elephant saw that the lion understood
my movements, and, fearing he would
be baked of his prey, he prepared to
bring the matter to crisis. I then saw
that [ had but one hope, to rush with
all my speed to the elephant. I think
I must have jumped twenty feet when
l turned, and [ know the lion jumped
thirty, but he just missed me. How [
completed the race I do not know. I
only knew that the elephants trunk
was around my waist and he was lifting
me up on his head. I only knew that I
was saved

unlike the snail, who carries all he pos
sesses upon his back. She is like the
echo, which speaks only when spoken to,
and unlike the echo, which always has
the last word. She is like the town
clock, which performs its work regular
ly and on time, and unlike it because
her voice is not heard all over ehe city.
To win and hold admiration you must
cultivate the gifts that nature has be-
slowed upon you. If you have talent
for music, develop it learn to sing some
choice songs and to perform upon some
instrument, for many are charmed more
by music than by handsome feat
ures. Pursue the same course
with regard to painting, drawing
and designing, and if you have the
power to obtain useful knowledge in any
direction do it. I have heard young
men, in speaking of their lady acquaint-
ances, cob! they look well, but they
don't know anything" There is no
necessity for such state of things;
books are cheap ard accessible. If you
labor all day in shop or store, still at odd
intervals you can gather up an education
and contend with no greater difficulties
than did Clay, Fillmore, Webster and
others of our greatest men. If you go
through life like a fitting butterfly, how
will you be spoken of by and by. Town
it is nice to eat and drink, and be merr' 8,
and be courtea and fattered for four or
five years, but how much better it would
be to cultivate character, sense and true
womanliness that would last forty or fifty
years. Andrew johnson would never
have been President but for the faithful
ness Of his wife, who taught him to read
and urged him to eminence. Disraeli's
wife was equally as useful to him.
So, while society praises the adept in
small talk, the world will remember only
those who, by cultivated intellect and
purified hearts, as sisted mankind and
helped to make the world better. We
always think kindly OF Florence Night
ingale, who, by her unselfish devotion
to the sick and wounded in the Crimea,
made her name a household word of
Harriet Hosmer, who, finding that she
possess d talent, developed it and became
the best modeler III clay and sculptor
in marble known in the history Of our
country; CT Harriet Beecher Stowe,
whose book before it was year old was
translated into all languages and proved
an important factor il the emancipation
of slavery and FASTENED to uplift the
whole continent to a broader and more
charitable eminence, and the wife OF Sir
John Franklin, who, lying upon what
| proved to be her deathbed, babe hel
husband depart on his voyage to the
North pole. Such women as these are
| spoken of after the beauties of the world
are forgotten. You, young ladies, ought
to lay the foundation OF the enduring
admiration OF the good and OF God, and
consecrate yourselves to high and holy

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
AOve's Sleep.


Well cover Love with roses,
And sweet sleep he shall take
None but fool supposes
Love always keeps awake.
I've known loves without number
True loves were they. and tried;
And, just for want Of slumber,
They pined away and died.
Our love was bright and cheerful
A little while sgone;
Now he is pale and fearful,
And-yes, I've seen him yawn-
So tired is he of kisses
That he can only weep;
The one dear thing he misses
And longs for now is sleep.
We could not let him leave us
One time, he was so dear,
But now it would not grieve us
If he slept half year.
For he has had his season,
Like the lily and the rose,
And it but stands to reason
That he should want repose.
We priced the smiling Cupid
Who made our days so bright;
But he has grown so stupid
We gladly say goodnight.
And if he wakens tender
And fond, and fair as when
He filled our lives with splendor,
Well take him back again.
And should he never waken,
AS that perchance may be,
We will not weep forsaken,
But sing, ''Love, tra-la-lee."
