Col. Frederick f. Goodrich's admi-
rable "ifc" of Grover Cleveland is
now ready; it is handsomely bound
and printed, and contains upwards
of500 pages; it is illustrated by first
class artists; it is from the press OF
Messrs. II. lIallett & Co., of Portland
Maine. AS rapid biographer, Col.
Goodrich doubtless stands without
rival in America, and the volume has
the impress of the broadest informa-
ton and most careful attention on
every page. This is the biography
that received the inestimable benefit
Of the active corporation and assis-
tance of Mr.. Cleveland, his relatives
and friends; this is the volume that
is recommended by the friends and
private Secretary ofthe distinguished
candidate; it is true picture drawn
by u master hand, of tho life of the
Statcman from the humble cradle to
the present day, and presents strik-
ing contrast to the score OF so-called
olives" which are to large extent
filled with irrelevant matter made up
from the newspapers Of the day those
who are wise viii subscribe only for
the authentic Portland edition--the
largest, cheapest, handsomest and
best. The stcel-plate portraits OF
Cleveland and Hendricks were en-
graved for the volume and are a
standing rebuke to the caricatures
which appear in the so-called "lives'
with big pretcnsions. GJtti
We understand that this Authentic
Standard edition is outselling all
others, more than ten to one, and that
its agents are meeting with the mos
phenomenal success. A few more
agents are wanted by the publishers
T the most liberal terms are offered. Il
, is a splendid chance for beginners, al
with this grand book no one can fai
to do a great business. The volume

Lieutenant !. 7. EillisghgEy,
PARTLY EATEN by HIS COMRADES OF
TIE GREELY EXPEDITION.

The condition of the body of Lieu
tenant Frederick Il. Kislingbury,
which was exhumed for examination,
shows that all its most ileshy parts
had been cut away with sharp instru-
ments, and there is no doubt that the
miserable survivors OF this young
officer, all or some of them, ate the
missing portions. Since the horrible
discovery was made public, it has
been admitted that six bodies of those
members of the expedition who died
while in the Arctic regions, were thus
mutilated.
Frederick f. Kislingbury was an
Englishman by birth, but came to
America at an early age, and was
reared at Rochester,, N. Y. lie enlist
cd in the Army of the United States,
IN 1868. In 1865 he was retired from
active service, and was made pay
masters clerk at Detroit, Mich. by
the influence of the late Zachariah
Chandler, lie was made First Lieu
tenant In the Regular Army, in 1878.
His first station in this capacity was
at Fort Concho, Tex, where he be-
came acquainted with Lieutenant
Greelv. lie was transferred TO Fort
Standing Rock, Dak., where he had
charge Of the scouts engaged in SER
vice against the Indians, in 1875. At
the time of the Custer massacre he
was with General Reno. Subsequent
ly to that tragedy he captured the
Indian who killed Custer in the fight.
In lSS0,while his regiment was station
cd at Fort Custer Kislingbury's second
wife died of mountain fever, immed-
lately after his return from scouting
expedition. lie had been made ac-
quainted with her danger while l50
miles distant from the post at the head
Of a scouting party, and Immediately
left for the station. This Mrs Kis-
lingbury. who had been his wife only
six months, was the sister of his first
wife, the mother of his four children.
The ages of his family, all boys and
maintained by friendly people in diff.
fercnt places, range from eight tc
seventeen years. Kislingbury was
offered position in the Greely EX.
pedition in 1881, and promptly accep'
ted it. lie was dead before the 22nd
Of June, 1884, when the survivors OF
the Grcely Expedition were found
His body was recovered, brought
home and buried in Rochester, where
It was examined and found in mu
tilated condition. Poor Kislingbury
! died at the early age of thirtv-eight
lie was an able officer and a goot
comrade. Until the publication o
the Greely Expedition it would b'
premature to say more than that HI
and Commander Greedy are reported
TO have been on bad terms, and tha
his superior officer relieved him o
duty at an early period of the tim'
spent by the expedition at Fort Con
ger.

The Campaign Song.
[nm Nre, in New Youk Meroury.l


Along with the blessings of free
dom and the divine right of suffrage
comes the incubus, the blot upon our
glorious institutions, known as the
campaign song. Dynamite under
the throne is bad, but when the shat
tered monarch is gathered together
in a royal gunny-sack and buried,
peace once more reigns over the kmg-
dom, but in a republic we know that
every four years panics, plaques and
pestilencc will be ovcrshadowed by
the campaign song, set to the tune of
John Browns body, which is suppos-
ed to be marching on.
Four years ago l had the honor of
inventing and hurting forth upon
the nation a song which did much to
deepen the horrors of the campaign,
1t consisted Of song which was
known everywhere as the adjustable
campaign song, to be warbled to the
tune of empty is the Cradle, Baby's
Gone" 1t could be used both by the
democrats and republicans equally
well, and had a vacant space left IN
the chorus, where by means of a sla
and adjustable thumb screws thu
names of either candidate can be i'll
serted. This song was cast in solit
plates, and hawked about the count!
along with the jailbird Wood-cuts o
the candidates, and did much damag
where no precautions were takel
against its ravagcs.
The campaign song ofthe presen
great war is not upon us. Let us b

Ed. SoUTH KENTucKIAN: TG
1t has been said, and truly, that the
whirligig Of time in its various revo-
lutions brings about many change,
not only Of persons, hopes and 'as-
but of locations. Your
correspondent can scarcely tell how
it happened, but the last whirl surely
landed her in this neighborhood,
where she will doubtless remain for
sometime to come, unless some un-
forcseen circumstances are brought to
bear that will bring about another
revolution. Contidentially, away
upon the top ofLookout Mountain
this summer, the spirit whispered
mysteriously of the many changes
that the next six or eight months
were to unfold. However, she. will
not anticipate, but patiently await q
naturalization. So much by way Of
depression, and now for the few items
to be chronicled from this locality.
On last Sunday morning the pulpit
of Salem Church was occupied by

of his discourse, "Christ, the friend

most clearly who were our friends
and who were not, and closed his re-
marks with an eloquent and pathetic
plea forthe Master, who is the tricnt

The Kentucky Editors.

The visit of the Kentucky editors
of the Southern Exposition this week
should not pass umoticed by the
business men of Louisville. From a
commercial standpoint there is
bundant reason why closer relations
should exist between this city and
the remainder of the State. This
will not be until the people in the
city who arc prepared TO do business
with the surrounding towns make
more definite oyertures to them,
especially as very large part of Ken
lucky is now being systematicly in
vaded by representatives of outside
cities with a view TO curtailing Lou
isville's trade. No more important
class, everything considered, than the
editors of the State can be brought
here.
The average country weekly news
paper may not be an Important look
ing affair and may possess little inter
cst to the city reader. But it must
be considered that there are more
than a hundred of these journals in
Kentucky, every one of which is
quite as important to the town in
which it is printed as are the city
dailies in their respective circles.
There is scarcely one of these sheets
not more essentially a newspaper
than were the Louisville, Cincinnati
and st. Louis journals within the
memory of some of our readers, Their
editors have the respect of the COM
munities which give them support,
and what these editors write does
much to form the sentiment of the
reading classes. Hence the import
ance of having the editors properly
informed in regard to the business
advantages of the leading city of the
State and favorably inclined in regard
to our people. 1t might be supposed
that the patronage of the State would
mutually be attracted to its largest
city, but there happen to be other
cities, just beyond the States borders.
whose merchants are seeking to profit
from competition with our own me-
iropolis. Louisville need have no fears
from such competition if her people
will put forward proper efforts, one
of which should be TO take the trouble
to point out to the visiting editors
the character of the business Of the
city,
We 10 not mean that the extension
of a little civility to any editor will
necessarily purchase his good opinion.
Nor do we want any editor to feel
under obligation to devote his col
umns to Louisville's interests after
going home. Many gentlemen OF
this class visit Louisville only occas-
ionally, and so hurriedly as to have
little opportunity 10 judge of the bus
mess advantages here. We simply
desire that their coming in body
this week shall be made an occasion,
ON the part Of merchants and manu-.
: factures, for giving them tile fullest
possible exposition of Louisville as q
business center. Hence we suggest
to the Board of Trade that some ac.
ton in regard to meeting the visiting
journalists would be proper, and
| might be mutually profitable, as wei
as pleasant to all parties. CONNER

IS BEER HgALrHPUL ?

Upon this subject Colonel Green, Pres
ident of the Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance Company, says In one of our
ton Of beer drinkers, | had occasion to
note the deaths among a large group of
persons whose habits in their own eyes and
in those of their friends and physicians
we're temperate; but they were habitual
users of beer. When the observation began
they were upon the average something IN.
der middle age. and they were, of course
selected lives For two or three years there
was nothing very remarkable to be noted
among this group. Presently death began
to strike it, aud until it had dwindled to a
fraction of its original proportions, the
mortality in it was astounding in extent,
and still more remarkable in the manifest
identity of cause and mode There was no
mistaking it; the history was almost in
variable robust, apparent health, full mus
clea, a fair outside, increasing weight, tlorid
faces then touch of cold, or a snuff of
malaria, aud instantly some acute disease
with, almost invariably, typhoid symp-
toms, was II violent action, and ten days
or less ended it. It was as if the system
had been kept fair outside, while within it
was eaten to a shell, and at the first touch
of disease there was utter collapse every
fiber was poisoned and weak. And this, in
its main features, varying of course in de-
gree, has been my observation in beer
drinking everywhere. 1t is peculiarly de-
ceptive at first; it is thoroughly destruc.
tive at the last" This testimony is very
strong, and we take pleasure in giving it
to our readers, and we call special attention
Co the fact that fair, ruddy outside is not
always an indication OF health, and also
to the fact that, so far, the figures of the
life insurance companies so to show that
the teetotallers are likely TO live longer
than even the moderate drinker.
