The affairs Of the Old World
were never in a more unsettled and
precarious condition than at present.
France appears to be making war
with a recklessness that does more
honor TO her Inherited military en-
thusIasm than to her republican sa
gacity. The hostilities against China,
it is given out by the government,
are only intended to secure territory
enough as an indemnity, but If
China has been reused to a proper
sense OF retaliation the struggle will
be a long and exhaustive one. Eng.
land is getting deeper and deeper
into the mire with her tardy Egyp-
tan expedition. There are indica-
tons OF a revolution in Spain.
There is an uprising in Armenia and
a general state OF war in Madagas-
car. Meanwhile Nihilism and So
cialism in Russia and Germany are
only biding their time.-Raleigh

IN EDITOR.

Editor Watterson, in the Louisville
Courier Journal, speaks as follows about
conducting newspaper "Some peo-
pie estimate the ability of periodical
and the talent OF its editor by the quan.
hty of its original matter. 1t is com.
paratively on easy task for frothy
writer to string out column of words
upon any and all subjects. His ideas
may flow in one weak, washy, everlast-
ing flood, and the command of his Ian
guage may enable him to string them
together like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be but meager and poor
concern. Indeed, the mere writing part
of editing a paper is but small portion
OF the work. The care, the time EN-
ployed in selecting, is far more import
ant, and the fact of good editor is bet
ter shown by his selections than any
thing else; and that, we know, is half
the battle. But, we have said, an editor
ought to be estimated, his labor under
stood and appreciated, by the general
conduct of his paper-its tone, its uni
form, consistent course, aims, manliness,
its dignity, and its propriety. To pre-
serve these as they should be preserved
is enough to occupy fully the time and
attention of any man. If to this be add
cd the general supervision Of tho de-
tails of publication which most editors
have to encounter, the wonder is how
they find time to write OF all"

TEXAS LETTER,

Mr.. EDIToR:
As the Semi-Weekly South Ken
tuckian has been a welcome visitor
in my humble Texas home for a long
time, l thought perhaps few items.
from this little village would find
space in your columns. Something
over two years ago, one beautiful
morning in February. | left the
lmmo of my ch,ldhaod In South
Christian to try the stepn realities of
Texas life. Language fails to express
my feelings as the train pulled out
from Hopkinsville and realized
that l was leaving all the friends that
were dear to me behind. But it is not
to describe that trip that | am writ
ing. But to tell you something of
this town and country. ~ 81

Pacific II. II. nineteen miles north of
Waco, seventy south of IlillsborO and

house here. Now there are eight, all
doing thriving business. Notwith-
standing the short crops last year

and Il masonic hall at a cost of $500.
We now have preaching every Sun
day. Four denominations are repre-
scented, Methodists, Baptists, Luther
ans and Presbyterians. Socictys not as
good as in the older states, though
the days of the six-shooter and des-
pcrado are gone. Although there are
people here from every quarter of the
continent they are pcacable, law abid-
ing citizens. ~
There was some wire cutting here
during the fal and winter but public
sentiment and Gov. lreland's efforts
have caused it to be numbered with
the things of the past. We are strict
ly Prohibitionists. AT the last cleo
ton prohibition carried by seven to

we rarely ever see. This is a high
rolling prairie country and one of the
best farming sections Ihave seen in
the state. Raw land is worth from
three to five dollars per acre, i'm

Some Suggestions to Wives.

Not long ago little volume made
its appearance, which, under the title
"Don't," pretended to guide awk-
ward youths thro' the intricacies of
social life. Since then several other
illusions ola similar kind have con-
tinued the work of education COM

Gated to the world at large; others
apparently to roughs and urchins
and the last, "What to do" a worthy
companion to some of its predeces-
sors, is written for married women,
Some of these commandments are as
follows:
Do remember that you are mar
ried to man and not 10 a god be
prepared for imperfections.
DO anticipate the discovery by
your husband that you are "only a
woman;' ifyou were not he wouldn't

There are two members of the

II is not an unusual thing for Mr..
ThompSon's brother. to find himself
gathered by the arm by one of the
Hon. Pills Democratic colleagues
and draggclin on the lloor of the
House and the injunction Numbered
IN his ear, Why the devel don't you

is upon its passage. .rr~.,
The other day Mr.. ThompsOn's
brother approached the main door
of the House, and the polite Demo-
crat in charge promptly snat;he |
open the green baize door and bow
cl him on the House floor. The
Kentucky twin strdlcd over to his
brothers scat, sat down and took
part in all the opening ceremonies
of the Legislative day, except that
he failed to answer the roll call. Joe
Blackburn, who has some peculiar
way Of identifying the Thompson
brothers, concluded that he would
have a little fun, and slipped over
and posted the doorkeeecr. That
fLnclionary stalked over to the desk
of the Kentucky statesman, and in
formed the intruder that he must

of the chair, my name is Thompson:

for him to go ahead ; that it was all
right. But you are not representa-
tive Thompson, said the guardian eff
the House, and you must come out

tive Of the Eighth Kentucky Dis
trict came in, and the doorkeeper
glared at the two in evident dismay.
All right, said representative Thomp-
son to his brother; Yon go outside
and I'll come out and talk to you.

A CURIOUS CALCULATION.

In a recent lecture on Fixed Stars,
DR.. David Gill wanted an illustration OF
the distance to Centauri. This is what
he said: ave are commercial people
we like to make cur estimates in pounds
sterling. We shall suppose that some
wealthy directors have failed in getting
Parliamentary sanction to cut SUD-
Atlantic tunnel to America, and so Tor
want of some other outlet for their energy
and capital they construct railway TO
Centauri. We shall neglect for the pres
ent the engineering difficulties--a mere
detail-and suppose them overcome and
the railroad open for traffic. We shall
60 further and suppose that the directors
have found the construction OF such
railway to have been peculiarly easy, ana
that the rroprietors of interstellar space
had not been exhorbitant in their terms
for right of way. Therefore, with view
to encourage traffic, the directors had
made the fares exceedingly moderate,
viz, first. class at one penny per l0O
miles. Desiring to take advantage OF
these facilities, an American gentleman,
by way of providing himself with small
change for the journey, buys up the
national debt of England and a few other
countries, and presenting himself at the
booking office demands first.class sim
gle to Centauri For this he tenders in
payment the scrip of the national debt
of England, which just covers the cost OF
his ticket; but l should explain that at
this time the national debt from little
wars, coupled with some unremunerat'Ve
Government investments in landed prop
erty, had run up the national debt from
100000, 900 to fl, l0o,0oo,0o0 sterling.
Having taken his seat it occurs to him to
ask, AT what rate do you travel? SIX
ty miles an hour, sir, including stop.
pages, is the answer. Then when shall
we reach Centauri?' In 4S,663, 600
years, SIR 'Humph! rather long jour.
