Knott and the Hornets.

Proctor Kn0ttt the Democratic nom
inee for governor of Kentucky, has
not always been an innocent man.
When Knott was Il young fellow, he
went out one day with man after a
load of wood. As they were return
ing, the man stopped the team in the
woods, got down and picked up a
hornets nest that had blown from
tree.
"Here size is, Prock," he said throw
ing the nest on the wagon. 'Reckin
they're frozc up. Well take her to
town and have some fun with her."
He climbed up, gathered his lines
and drove Oh. Knott looked at the
nest awhile and took it up and shook
it. The weather had been very cold,
but the air had grown warm and
thaw had begun. Proctor struck
match and lighted his pipe. lie
looked al the nest and could not re-
frain from touching the match to it.
1t blazed up and pretty soon the hor-
nets began to buzz. He climbed
down and walked along short dis
lance, behind the wagon.

driver, sis where | shot turkey last

The horses began to run, and the
driver, with the air full of his hands,
struggled TO keep his seat.
"Whoa d. yOu!"
The horses turned into an old field
and almost flew. The driver fell OIL.
The hornets followed him. He turn
ed back and turned toward Knott,
who followed at safe distance.
Knott pretended TO be fighting hor-
nets.
"IIang it," he yelled, turning,

His wild motion attracted the hor-
nets and a swarm of them flew after
him. lie yelled and started toward
town. lie ran to the creek and
plunged in. The hornets brlzzcd
above his head and every time it ap-
peared above the surface, they'd pop
him. The driver came and stood on
the bank.

The driver did not 60 in, and when

O'DONNRLL CONVICTED.

| .
1t has long been said that " his
tory repeats itself" One hundred
years since Lord Norburry presided
as Judge at the trial Of the young
patriot, Robert Emmett, and so ex-
ercised his power as such official
as to send to the scaffold as pure q
young man as ever inhaled God
gwen air. This was in 1888. -
Now, in 1883, Judge Dsnman
takes the place of Judge Norburry
and O'Donnell will follow in the
wake of the illustrious Emmett.
Now let us see what O'Donncll
did that he should be legally q
murdered. The man he shot was
Carey, an informer," a species
Of men who from time immemorlal
has been considered as the mean
est on earth. Carey, for English
gold, truly or falsely swore away
the lives of men whom he profess
ed to be friendly to and with. The
crimes he laid at the doors of his
comrades he acknowledged he was
privy to, and he hied to a repre-
8 ntative of the Crown and "gave
away" his cronies, and secured, by
his oath, their conviction and exc
cution. The air of Ireland was
then unwholesome for him, and
securing pistol from q constable
he took passage on steamer for
a remote country, and under a ffe-
titous name. O'Donnell happened
to take passage on the same vessel
and becoming acquainted with ca
rey, and knowing the refugee by the
pictures of him which lie had seen
in Dublin, hot blood was generated
Carey or O'Donnell hod to die, and
it happened to be the former. OF
course O'Donneu was arrested and
conveyed back to England, tried,
convicted, and sentenced to death.
Judge Denman showed deter
minstion to bring about such result
in any event. At one time the ju
ry went into court and enquired if
a man had a deadly weapon in his
hands and another thought he was
about to use it against him, and he
shot the former, would that be.
manslaughter or murderl The
Judge properly replied that it would
be neither, but improperly asked,
where was the evidence OF any act
done by Carey which induced
O'Donnell to think that Carey
meant to shoot him ! thus clearly
exhibiting his animus in manner
which even Kansas Justice of the
Peace would be ashamed of No
sooner did the Jury find the prison
er guilty than Judge Denman put
on the " black cap and sentene-
ed him to death. O'Dounell then
held up his right hand, fingers ex-
tended, and shouted, 'three cheers
for old Heland-good bye United
States to hell with the British
and the British crown. This is a
plot made up by the crown " The
language of O'Donnell was not so
chaste or classical as Emmett's, ut
tered under similar circumstances,
but it was quite as expressive of
his pent-up feelings.
Surely day of retributiou must
soon be at hand, and the reckon
ing must needs be fearful. Pat
will yet come to close holds with
John Bull, and mid the plaudits
OF the civilized world, he will
throttle the tyrant, and sink the
British flag in the depths of ocean.
