THE governor of Kentucky was
hardly justifiable in calling out the
militia in connection with the Owens
boro trouble. That the negroes talked
excitedly over the hanging of one of
their number was quite natural. But
they must have sense enough to know
that, in Kentucky, as in Texas, an up.
rising against the whites would be the
signal for their humiliation.

foam and froth at the

don't believe that such purpose ever
suggested itself to Hubbard, but e
racket which the idea creates indicates
plainly the dread the Ireland legions

of fear and conscious weakness. The

Lieutenant Greeley Found.

One of the leading, if not the lead
ing event of the summer, is the dis
covery and rescue of Lieutenant Gree
ley and seven survivors of his party,
five miles off Cape Sabine, in Smiths
sound. Seventeen, out Of twenty-five
persons originally belonging to the
party, had persisted from cold, to
which were added the horrors of star
walton of the survivors. Sergeant Ell
ison, who had lost his hands and feet,
and had to undergo amputation, died
on the 9th, inst, three days after the
operation. The story of the survivors
is one of the most thrilling in the
gloomy history of Arctic expeditions
and discovery. Judging from all the
circumstances of danger and privation
surrounding the expedition, the won
der is that a single member of the par
ty escaped to tell the melancholy tale
of his fellows who found tombs in fields
of eternal ice, or, as the narrative
states, were swept out to sea. Lieut..
Greeley seems to have been more for
tunate in securing food than might
have been anticipated. Nothing but
the merest chance could have thrown
in his way provisions cached" that
is, concealed in deep holes in the ice by
former explorers, some of it almost
ten years before. But for this, the
entire party must have persisted, and,
like Sir John Franklin, have added
another gloomy mystery to the silent
annals of the Arctic-that time itself
can never solve. The ships Thetis
and Bear, which made the rescue,
have won a place in Arctic history
almost equal to the unfortunate and
ill-starred expedition whose remnant
they have brought back from the
death-dealing rigors of the polar
regions.

The people In their kindness are
prone to forget many things which go
to make up sum of objection almost
insurmountable when grouped. Few
people will recall without sugges-
ton, the recommendation of Governor
Ireland to the legislature that vaccin-
alton he made compulsory. That was
as grotesque an idea as ever came from
the brain of any man since the first
rosy morn of the nineteenth century
was ushered upon the scene. Com
pulsory education might do, but we
submit that compulsory vaccination
is carrying the absolute joke just a
little too far. tits off the same piece
