He Saw His Shadow.
Henderson journal.

From the time Don Qpixotc and
Sancha Panza took up their lodging
in the heart of the Sable mountain,
February I'd has been recognized as
ground hog day. The old story has
been handed down from one genera
ton to another, and will continue to
be until there is not a hog left to
whistle OF r6cklessly venture out of
his hole. 1t is said this horrid var
mint, which pas ses the winter in the
burrow in lethargic state, awakens
on this day and struts out to see what
the world is doing. If he sees his
shadow he returns again aud re-
mains for six weeks longer, but if he
fails to observe his shadow he de-
clines to return, but continues his
journey with the assurance that win
tepha broken and there will be ITO
morecold, The animal Is from fifteen to
eighteen inches long, blackiSh or griz-
zled above, chestnut red below, the
form thick, the head broad and fiat
with almost he apparent neck, the
legs short and thick, the feet large
the tail bushy, the hair is rather
short, the whiskers long and stout
He digs deep holes in fields, in the
sides OF hills or under rocks in the
woods. His burrows are built to
slant upwards, so that water may
not enter, and within are several
compartments. He feeds upon vege.
table matter AMI is particularly des-
tructive to crops of red clover. He
has a magnificent set of teeth and
can whip an ordinary dog, lie has
as keen whistle as was ever blown
from piccolo and taken altogether
is rather an interesting animal. There
are number of them in Henderson
county and it is to be presumed that
some one came out of his hole this
morning sightseeing. If he did he
saw bic shadow, for At this writine
every indication points to this being
beautiful day. If the old story BIZ
true, then we are to have six moro
weeks Of winter, but if it will com
fort the readers of the Journal IN the
least, we unhesitatinglv declare tina
there Is no confidcece to be placed IL
it, for we have known the grouni
hog theory to fail twice.

Mr.. Frederick Warde.

Whatever may be said for or
against Mr.. Frederick Warde's i'm
pcrsonation of Virginius, his conccp-
ton of the character is certainly a
capital one, and taken as whole is
in every way the equal and in many
respects superior TO that of Mr.. John
McCullough's. Indeed he has a Won
derfully striking conception of the
part and adhercs to it with consis-
tency that is admirable. His Vir-
ginius last night was so excellent in
all its details that it is difficult TO i'm
agine Mr.. Mccullough or any other
actor of the time surprising him in
this role. Mr.. Warle is an earnest,
careful and intelligent actor, his
enunciation clear, his actions never
overweight, always free and natur-
al, and above all he has a fine voice.
lie is particularly adapted for tragic
parts, having splendid physique.
He is active and graceful, and enters
heartily into the spirit of the charac-
ter he assumes. The greeting he re-
ccived was extremely cordial and en-
thusiastic, and he was called before
the curtain at the end of every act
Louisville Commercial.
Mr.. Wardc deserves every word of
the praise given him. He is without
doubt the greatest actor who ever APP
pcared OH the boards in this city
and when he returns he will be given
a crowded house. Even Ke' ne, who
for a while was lIopkinsville's favor
lite star, has been superseded by
Warlle In the estimation Of our peo-
pie.

The Cadiz Telephone says; "Thc
efforts of the South Kentuckian, or
any other paper, to heap public con-
domination on Capt. Stone will prove
utterly fruitless. He is imperyious
TO the darts of all such organs" The
South Kentuckian's offense was in
mentioning the fact that Capt. Stone
changed from AdaiP to Offutt, giving
him the one vote needed to nominate
him for Speaker, in the Legislative
caucus. This is a matter, of record.
IL there be condemnation" in it,
Capt. Stone has ''heaped" it upon

Advice for Delegate hammond.

The Radiator, Raymond paper in Fablk
county, thinks Delegate Raymond holds the
Key to the situation, and can keep the man
who defeated him from securing more than
the name of delegate. Raymond will hold
the seat till next March. and should be able
to SEIZURE division and admission of the
south as state before that time. The paper
says:
The situation must put Mr. Ray
mond upon his metal. If wise, he will con-
centrate his every power on the one aim
DIVISION. He has no longer any need of re-
serve, let him throw his entire strength into
action. For once, Mr. Raymond, let the
thousands OF correspondents that bore the
life out OF delegate or congressman, and
amount to little or nothing, go the dogs
Let nothing divert one atom of your strength
or effort from the one aim, which. if you ac-
complish, assures your honor and eminence,
but falling in which you sink into hopeless
oblivion and obscurity''
The Radiator evidently understands that
he has heretofore been for division, with a
reserve-just enough for it not to show q
hand In opposition. That is the case with
most of the politicians of the north. They
talk division when looking toward the SOUTH
but feel no interest in its success; in fact
would wink at movement to bring in the
territory as one big state.

Distance to the sun.

As to the distance of $4,000, 600 miles, a
cannon ball would travel It in about fifteen
years. 1t may help US to remember that at
the speed attained by the limited express on
our railroads a train which had left the SUI
for the earth when the Mayfower sailed from
Delthaven with the Pilgrim fathers, and
which rau at that rate day aud night, would in
1884 still be journey of some years AWAY
from its terrestrial station. The fare, at the
customary rates, it may be remarked, would
be rather over $4,000, 600, SO that it Is clear
that we should need both money and leisure
for the journey.
Perhaps the most striking illustration of
the suns distance is given by EXPRESSING il
in terms of what the Psychologists would
scall velocity of nerve transmission 1t has
been found that sensation is not absolutely
instantaneous, but that it occupies VERY
minute time in travelling along the nerves
so that if child puts its finger in the candle
there is & certain almost inconeeivably small
space of time, say the one-hundredth of :.
second, before he feels the heat In case.
then, child's arm were long enough to
touch the sun il can be calculated from this
unknown rate of transmission that the in
FAINT would have to live to be man of over
one hundred before it knew that its fingers
were burned.

Judge in Hughes county, is an old Illinois

1t is a noticeable fact that north Dakota is
selecting its strong men for the legislature,
those who have given it the reputation of be-
ing able to outwit where it could not outvote
in matters upon which there was sectional
diversion. Among those in nomination are
Hons Jud La Moure, of Pembina, Geo. H.
Walsh, of Grand Forks, f. A. Williams, OF
Bismarck, and Johnson Nickens, of James
town, members of the last legislature, aud
chief fgurers in the capital legislation. Then

Creel, OF Devils Lake, Col. Richardson, OF
Valley City, d. VI. kelieher, of Stutsman

others counted as rustlers, and nearly all OF
whom win get there. The indications are
that the north will have few if any of the ex-
treme Raymond men there, who can be used
by him in any scheme unfriendly to Bis
marck. The south, too, will send Pettigrew
and many Of its ablest men.
