The Prospect-Nea0s is justly indig-
nant over some witticisms q at the
expense of Ripley aud Carter counties
by smart aleck who thinks knows
it all" beea use he is resident of the
"culchawed East" He is not the first
of his tribe we have known. They all
affect great amusement at the extreme
ignorance of the people who live in the
interior of Missouri and other Western
States; and yet, we can pick out an
hundred localities in Pennsylvania (the
state that is honered by the residence
of The s. a. mentioned), whose inhab-
itants are, from their abject ignorance
and stupidity, the laughing-stock of
the whole world, including the more
favored portions of their own common
wealth. When a Pennsylvania means
to convey the idea that u person is stu
pid, ignorant, inane and socially vicious,
he employs the adjective "dumb, "and,
in that sense, it can be applied truth
fully to an hundred Keystoners to one
Missourian.

ages in return 20 stir up the Blaine
monkeys to fearful degree. He made
some ugly mouths at the Globe-Denso
crat the other day, in return for col
umns of villifaction and, what seem to
us, unsupported charges of bribery.
The GID. rejoined, and st. John final
ly replied last Saturday with what
appeared, to unprejudiced spectators,
complete refutation of all charges.
Still the CD. continues the warfare,
and the following are specimen bricks
from its reserve pile:
st. Johr is advised by friends and enemies
to sue the Globe Democrat. We second the
motion. The case will be heard before a
Democratic Judge. He shall have a Demo-
cratic jury, or a Prohibition jury if he wants
himself be foreman of the jury, and before
the close of the case he will be compelled to
acknowledge, with tears in his eyes, that he
is the worst political deadbeat ever known
to American politics. He will publicly thank
us, in the name of the Prohibition party, for
exposing him.
The sinless but senseless band of long
haired and short sighted patriots who fol-
lowed the fortunes of John p. st. John in the
last campaign are now engaged, for the most
part, contemplating the ruin they have
wrought. They defeated the only potent
foe the rum power ever had; they set back
the hands on the clock of temperance so far
that lifetime will not put them where they
were year ago. And now let them gaze
upon their chosen leader, writing himself
down liar at every stroke of the pen in a
vain effort to prove that he is not scoun-
drel.

AS to the dog-tax law the Jefferson
Democrat says there was paid into the
treasury of that county, last year, from
this source of revenue, $3,O19.50. "Of
this amount $462.10 was paid out to
parties to who had lost sheep by dogs,
and who had filed proper appraisements
in the time prescribed. The remain
ing So, 557.4O was transferred to the
county schoolfund, being added to the
capital of said fund, which Is loaned
out and the interest divided up among
the school districts of the county. The
result is going to be the accumulation
of fine, permanent schoolfund, al
though the amount to be transferred
this year will he much smallar than
last, as the sheep claims now amount
to about one thousand dollars, and there
is considerable time yet for them to &C.
cumulate."

The evangelist, W. B. Godbey, of
Carlyle, KY, was at Pennington last
week, anu exhorted the sinners-there
are ungodly people in our sister coun-
ty, more's the pity-but with little sue
cess. The church folks, generally, did
not enthuse over him, and he went on
his way seeking more congenial and
excitable neighborhoods. The day of
the peripatetic "evangelist" il. evident
ly past its meridian, and who shall say
the church is not the better for it? The
Pennington Times gives voice to the
doubts that beset the minds of the peo-
pie as follows: "That Rev. Godbey's
method-though he gave us to under
stand that he had no method, that all
methods were his-is the most effect
i've way to "preach Christ, and Him
crucified." there are many good and
pious ministers and people who doubt;
and as to whether this sort of work was
what Paul meant when he said, ut
pleased God by the foolishness of
preaching to save them that believed"
we leave each of our readers to deter
mine for himself.n

There are some humans who are de-
PRAYED beyond description, and Craw-
ford county contains one of them.
Hanging is to good for the scoundrel
who perpetrated the outrage given be-
low. We clip froEl the Steelville SEN
tinel: "When Miss Laura Mathews
was married to Henry Campbell her
parents made them present of span
of large black horses, which have been
well kept since, and highly priced for
both their beauty and usefulness. On
the night of the 9TH inst, some mis-
creant, through spite, malice or envy,
stole into the barn yard and cut the
throat of one of the horses, from which
it bled to death. Mr.. Campbell has a
clue to the party who did the unmanly
deed, and the matter will probably be
brought before the next grand jury.
We hope the right man may be found
and made feel the full penalty of the
law"

Habitual constipation is not only one of the
most unpleasant, but at the same time one of
the most injurious conditions of the human
system, and is but a forerunner of disease,
unless removed. This is usually accomplish
ed by the use of purgatiyes, which for the
time affords relief, but after their immediate
effects have passed they leave the system in
a worse state than before. TO effect a cure
it is necessary that the remedy used should
be one that not only by its cathartic effect
relieves the Bowels, but at the same time
acts as a tonic, so as to restore the organs to
a sound, healthy condition. This PRICKLY
ASH BITTERs will do. 1t removes the cause
and restores health.

Judge Thomas, in his charge to the
grand jury at the late term of the JEFF
ferson county circuit court, expressed
the belief that one of the great benefits of
the jury system was that the people,
in serving on the grand and petit juries,
got an insight into the working of our
governmental and judicial system,
which they could not well have other
wise. He believed very firmly and
candidly in the jury system, both in
the grand jury and petit jury system.
He thought that in free government
like ours, they were necessary adjuncts
to the administration of the law. He
had heard a great many complaints
against juries, that they were not rsli-
able, but he believed they were as re-
liable as the courts usually were. If
the administration of the law was car
ried on without the aid of juries. 1t will
be thrown into the hands of the law
yers, and would be one sided affair.
The court and jury, as now constituted,
err. AS matter of course, he said,
jurymen will have to learn before the
system is perfected or before it comes
into good repute, that they are officers
of the court. They were there to aid
and assist the court in the administra-
ton of the law, acting under oath, as
the judge did, and when they began
to feel the obligation of the oath and
adhered to it, and did their duty faith
fully, the jury system would be more
popular and more efficient in the adj
ministration of the law. The court ex-
pressed a belief that a grand jury of
twelve men, coming from different
parts of the county, were more effi-
cient in enforcing the criminal law
than the Prosecuting Attorney, acting
alone, could be.
