United States Encarstic Tile Works. Mothers,
head has held the position for several months,
but as he, like Judge Lamb, of the Harrison
Bank, was appointed during tie courts vacation,

tie latter, holding the appointment to be invalid

fore the court is asked to confirm it
in regular session and approve his acts as re

The New York Nation printed in
its issue of June % a retrospect of the
twenty years its existence which
were completed with that number.
The nation was founded in July, 1865,
in recognition of the new order of
things which was sure to follow the
end of the war and the abolition of
slavery. 1t at once espoused the
cause of pure, bipartisan admins
tration of the National Government !;
and the present condition of civil
service reform is owing TO it more
than to any other instrumentality. 1t
has been conducted, in its two leading
departments, Politics and Literature
by the same editors from the first
number, and holds to-day, as for the
past twenty years, the first rank in
each. 1t is the medium of the most
thoughtful and cultivated discussion
in the country-is, in fact the only
truly national journalistic forum.
Its foreign correspondence is unrival-
ed. Its book reviews (by the leading
scholars of the country possess the
highest authority. Each number
contains a careful news summary,
and the bound volumes are priced as
as the best obtainable chronicle of
current history. IA pp., quarto. 10
cents a number $3ay year. 2l0 Broad

Our Dime Novel.

The IIopkinsville Kentuckian of
Friday, June 26, 1885, contained a
long and interesting account of the
crime and hanging of the negro Tay-
lor in that city on that day, together
with a picture of Taylor. The Ken
tuckian is an enterprising paper, and
does everything it attempts in first
class style..-B. G. Times.
Chas. M. Meacham, of the Hop
kinsville South Kentuckian, is out in
the role of an author. His first work
entitled-"The Dull Thud," giving
an account or the hanging in Chris
tian county, together with the life
and crimes of Jordan Taylor, hung
for the murder of Sally Saunders.
The author has our thanks for a
cOpy.-llenderson Journal.
q. Nj. Meacham, editor of the Hop
kinsville South Kentuckian, has IA
vored us with neatly printed copy
of a 20 page pamphlet that he has
published in which a record of the
hangings in Christian county from
its formation and especially that of
the Jordan Taylor, recently dropped
with "dull thud" is given. Cuts of
Taylor and the sheriff who worked
HIM off adom the book.-Interior
journal.
Chas. M. Meacham, of the Hop
kinsville South Kcntuckian, has
written a novel entitled "a Dull
Thud," which is having a great run.
The plot is of rather sombcr cast,
and the characters are nearly all
killed before the last chapter is reach
ed. No one would suspect the sunny
tempered Meacham ofhaving so NOR
bid an imagination.-Louisvil
Times.
Chas. NJ. Meacham, the talented
young editor of the South Kentuck-
ian, sent us copy Of 1.-The Dull
Thud," being record of all the pub
lie executions that have occurred in
Christian county, Ky. The pamphlet
is well written, and the Typography
excellent. An engraving of Jordan
Taylor, the man lately hanged at
Hopkinsville, and one of John Boyd,
the sheriff, who Sprung the trap"
illustrates the pamphlet,-IIender-
son News.

our Savior, and our voices to sing the
anthems eternity-old. Our life here
is too long!
Often have they come TO those who
were distressed and afflicted. Elijah
fleeing before the fury Of Jczcbel,
laid down under Juniper tree in
the desert to die. But an angel arous-
ed him from his stupOr and pointed
to the food he had made ready. Dan
iel was thrown into the lions den,
but when the next morning, the anx-
ious King came and cried to him,
Daniel answered 80 King, live for
everl My God hath sent his angel,
and hath shut the lions mouths that
they have not hurt me-"
On that night when the storm
broke upon the ship which had Paul
prisoner III chains, when the sea
rose in anger aud rebellion at such
treatment of Gods servant, when
confusion and despair were in COM
mand of the breaking ship, an angel
came and said "Fear not Paul thou
must he brought before Caesar; and
10 God hath given thee all them that
sail with thee" Peter was bound in
prison and again Peter and John in
stocks, aud were awaiting summons
to death when each time a light
shonc in the prison, the chains were
stricken of, and the winged one led
them to freedom and safety. How
often they came to Jesus when alone
during whole nights Of prayer we do
not know. Two records we have of
their visits to him. When on the
mountain, weakened by his long fast,
burdened by loneliness, and weight
ed down by the life of sorrow and
labor he was bearing in prospect,
there came messengers to comfort
and minister unto him. Aud again
on that night when all the sorrows
and burdens of humanity were
crowded .nto one sorrow and
one burden and laid on his
soul, when blood burst from the
pores Of his skin, at this the crisis of
all time, the crisis of all eternity, one
we know tho tcnderest aud gramdest
of all, came with messages from the
Father-messages oflove and strength
and hope.
Then the angels are the reapers of
the worlds harvest. Jesus explains
his parable of the sower:
"lle that soweth is the Son or Man 1,
the field is the world the good seed
are the children of the kingdom but
the tares are the children Ofthe wick
ed one the enemy that soweth is the
devil the harvest is the end of the
world; and the redperS are the
dngels." Again, he s;"The angels
hall come forth, and sever the wick
ed from the just, and shall cast them
into the furnace Of fire there shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth"
They bore the soul of Lazarus to
Abraham's bosom. How little we
know Of what goes on in the chamber
of death! If our eyes were opened we
might see more than pallid cheeks and
clinched hands; if our ears were un-
locked we might hear more than
groans and signs. Radiant ones with
joyous faces stand there with out
stretched wings waiting to bear Il
soul home; or with averted faces and
trailing wings they await the sum-
mons 10 bear the lost soul TO its
doom.
From these revelations let us learn
two lessons. II we are Gods the angels
are our instructors, cOmfOrters, com
panions, friends. five are not Gods
they are the recorders of our deeds,
the executors of our souls.

Godey's Lady's Book for Augustis is

Godey's Lady's Book for August is
delightful number, handsomcr in
appearance, and more generally sat-
isiactory than any of its predecessors.
Every month seems to marx a stride
in the progress of this popular maya
zine. The present issue opens with a
beautiful ChidrO- -0ScurO cut of "My
Pets" fine study of animal life as
cOntrasted with graceful girlhood, and
grouped against strong background
of nature. The illustrations this
month are capital. A series oflettcrs
describing the trials of one pressed
into service to write another's love-
letters, under the title of "a Post
script" are particularly good. A
powerful serial story, translated from
the French by Emily LehnoX, contin-
ucs in this number, under the title of
"The Yoke of Honor" An entertain
ing conversation on chicken-culturc,
incubating, ETC., forms feature of
the book, and introduces series of
projected articles on the useful and
ornamental occupations of women.
"Philllpa's Pocket-money" will fur
nish some valuable suggestions to
women who are longing for some
way to turn a profitable penny. A
short parlor drama, called "IIe is an
Englishman,' is given this month for
the use of summer idlers who do not
care to go too deeply into the histri-
onic. "Bella Donna is a very clev-
er story of limited length, and Mrs.
IIayden's "Cup of Cold water" is
well calculated to win the fancy of
all lovers of romance. Godey's never
looked better than it looks now. In
this day, when so many old publica-
tions are verging toward decrepitude
and dotage, it is a pleasure to find
one that delles the march of time, and
still preserves Its pristine vigor and
freshness while the years roll on.
That all may he convinced of its
merits, the Publisher offers to send
the book for the remainder of the
year for rs cents.

Enemies Ready to Strike.

Every family is constantly in dan
ger from impure water, unripe fruit,
unwholesome food, contagious dis
eases, cramps, cholera morbus, coughs
and colds, indigestion and simple fe-
vers. In such cases a bottle of Par
ker's Tonic kept in the house renders
it unnecessary to call physician.

to hesitate. Finally he said, with an air of
reluctance, eyes, my Lord, 1 fear have.
MIR. Parkman, did understand you to give
it as your opinion that whoever inserted
that advertisement committed this MUIR
der?''
strange pause, then, in an equally
strange, hoarse tone, ssYes.n
"ls that" holding up Russia-leather
blotting ease filed with green blotting- pa
per. "the blotting- case you use in your Ii
brary at Richmond?''
1t sounded, apart from the sudden pro-
duction of the case, harmless question
enough. And yet how was it that through
all that crowded court every one felt the
terrible nature of the silence which follow
ed. Was that ordinary docking case a gor-
CONS head, that at sight of it the perspira-
ton should spring in great beads to the
witnesses forehead and his mouth should
writhe in vain attempt to speak. He
couldn't. He couldn't. In the end he only
nodded. :
'Then can you explain, the lawyer ask
ed solemnly, show it happens that upon a
page of this blotting paper there appears in
printed characters reverse impression of
the latter part of this advertisement?
The crisis had come, the worst had hap
BILE reason might avail him. Now was the
time for ready brain and steady pulse
now; but now all these were wanting. He
glared round him for moment on the sea
Of faces, grasped wildly at his throat, and
fell to the floor of the box in fit.
Amid thrill of such sensation as few in
that court had ever experienced they bore
him out to an adjoining room. But he was
dead before they could bring a doctor to
him. That moment-and Heaven knows
what of bitter anticipatlon--had been his
punishment in this world.
Peters, it appeared, had gone down to
see him at Richmond, and while waiting in
the library had, in the instructive pursuit
of his profession, turned over the leaves of
the blotting- book. The cipher caught his
eye, but, the merchant entering at that
moment, it was not until he left for town
that Peters could get into the house again,
confirm his impression, and with his strange
piece of evidence follow to London by a
later train.
For a few hours after the merchants s
death it seemed one of those motiveless
murders that upset all calculation. But
among his papers was found the key. He
had lost great sums by deep play at a West
End club. His father was then i'll, his needs
were most pressing. He had already far
exceeded his right to draw upon the firm;
to get more he deposited forged acceptances.
At his fathers death the cashier discovered
this and though the junior partner was now
able to refund the money, Critchlow held
the forgeries in terrorem over him. Park
man, secretive, yet fierce, took his life.
Of him enough. For Ernest Crisp, he
married Ethel three weeks later.-London
Society.

"The administration, said Secretary of
State Bayard in his St. Louis speech, SIS
for the whole country, not for any part of
it." This is the kind of administration
the country has long needed. Not for the
North, South, East or West, but for all of
them equally. Hereafter, wrong is not to
be suspected more in one State than in
another. Taxes. are not to be made the
means of extortion or oppression in any
State or section, but shall bear equally as
may be on all. This is the only theory
upon which free government can be made
permanent in the United States. We trust
that the Western journey taken by Secre-
tary Bayard is only the first of trips to all
parts of the country that he will make,
and that other gentlemen of the admins
tration will find opportunities of meeting
their fellow citizens outside of Washing
ton and will talk as wisely as Mr.. Bayard.
