THE KING REPORTED DEAD.

LONDON, NOV. "a, ii 80 p. MI Is re-
ported here this evening that the King OF
Spain is dead. Nothing whatever can be
learned from Madrid to confirm or deny
the report, but the fact that stocks de-

taken in some quarters 70 indicate that
least has happened TO His Majesty. tits
known that portion OF the first dispatch
relative TO the King filed In Madrid to-
day WAS erased by the censor there, and
some persons are OF the opinion that this
fact too indicates that the reports con-

SAYS:
ave take il for granted that Mr..
Morrison, who has muddled away so
many opportunities To the detriment

The supporters Of the Morrison bill

that all who would not subscribe TO II

Worth Considerations.

There are five Supreme Judges to

convention. The Republicans will

ed will have more to do in sulserving
the interest OF the people aud the State
preserving our integrity and guarding
the interests and property OF our peo-
pie than any officers, and their term
of office extends over several years
The reader may recall many acts OF
our Supreme Court, since the war that
were fraught with stupendous results.
1t is of primest importance, therefore,
that we have Democratic judges. We
now submit the question: Can the
Democrats elect their ticket if they
make the commission question an is
sue again Will it not jeopardize the
ticket? Is the commission so urgently
needed as TO justify the risk Of beating
the ticket to secure it Would not a
Radical Supreme Bench damage the
State immeasurably more than COM

wise to adopt policy that has brought
us to the verge ot defeat just at time
when such momentous interests are

ately now before the canvas opens.
Let the people discountenance the man

A Mysterious Sink Hole.
Princeton Ky.1 Banner.

Last week Mr.. Lindsey Adamson,
one of the most worthy citizens OF this
county. told us that there was sink
hole ice house near his farm six miles
north of town, and there was ice in it,
how much he couldn't say. lie thought
it a queer freak of nature, and gave us
cordial invitation to come out and
see it. Knowing Lindsey Adams0n
to be 81 truthful man, nothing OF the
joe Mulhattinlsm IN him, we conclu
led that we would accept the invita-
lion. and few evenings ago, acompa
MED by Mr.. Tom Landrum. we visited
the aforesaid sink-hole and sure
enough, there was and there is lots of
ice IN it. The sink-hole is ON the
north side of large hill, about one
half mile from Mr. Adamson's house.
The hole Is ii large one but not over
fifteen feet deep. The sides slope
gradually, making the descent easy of
foot At the bottom of the hole is an
aperture rough, uneven, down through
great limestone powders to what
depth it is impossible to tell, and this
aperture is filled with hard, solid ice.
With hammer and chisel we blocked
out several large Jumps and brought
them home. The ice is not as clear or
clean as it might be, but still it is good
solid ice. One year ago this sink-hole
ice house was first discovered, but
nothing WIS said about it. A week or
two ago ice was needed in the neigh
borhood for the sick, and plenty OF it
was found in this hole and all the
neighbors who want ice get it there
with chIseI and hammer The sun
from Z to ii O'clock in the morning
shines directly on the mouth of this
sink-hole and good part of the time
right upon the ic.--iille,l aperture. The
cold air filling the sink-hole, and com
ing in as it is supposed from some
cold cavern to which this aperture is
the entrance, neutrilizes the effect of
the warm sunshine and there is no
sign of softening of ice. The small
particles produced by the hammer
and ehisel do not soften particle
during the day. When this ice
was formed no one knows; whether it
melts in midsummer Mr.. Adamson
cannot tell. No one ever examined
this sink-hole before the spring OF
1884, and ice was there then, and for
ought any one knows it has been there
for centuries. How deep this ice ex-
tends it is impossible to tell. The
queerest feature of the sink-hole is
that there should be any ice in it at
ALL Generally warm air comes out of
sink-holes, and no one ever before
heard of ice in or about sink-hole in
this section. The air in this sink-hole
and all about it is as cold as ice itself.
Mr.. Adamson has promised to keep
his eve on this ice during the
summer, etc The sink-hole is ON land
belonging to w. p. Black.

Mustard and Pneumonia
Cor. of the World.

Pneumonia can lie cured if the per-
son will apply promptly over the lungs
Il poultiee cor draft made of mustard
and fllxseed meal, keeping quiet and
warm in bed. Prompt action is of vi
tai importance, and there is no ocea-
sion for waiting for the arrival OF an
"old fashioned" or "new fashioned"
practitioner when SO simple remedy
may he applied by any one. and if ta-
ken in season will. / think, always be
effective. In my first personal expert
ence my determination not to give up
business, even for a day, came near
costing me my life. The case was
neglected till an eminent physician
said that my right lung would be Of
Just as much use TO me out on the ta-
BILE as in the condition it then was, a
fact of which was pretty well aware,
hut the mustard and fiaxseed poultice
mastered the disease and restored my
lung h, its normal condition, as good
as new. In the second attack, year
later. the case was taken in hand
promptly, the poultice applied, quiet
and warmth maintained, and speedy
recovery ensued without physician
being called in.

hH nEAIHN DAY.
EDWIN O. WHEELER.

The war-cry thro' the land is stilled,
! T..e cannon S sullen lips are dumb;
To-day throughout our land we hear
fh.. solemn beat of muftied drum.
TIE flags hang dropping from the staff
The streets are filid with grave-eyed men
Long dormant memories spring TO life,
Welive the dead past Ger again.
| We see thfo' mists of falling tears
The wild, fierce strife of armed bands;
We hear the CLASH OF hostile steel,
We feel the touch of vanished hands.
We part, as in the days of yore,
From loved ones long since in the grave
| We hear that mournful sound again,
The clanking fetters of the slave.
We see the lines of Blue and Gray
Massed for the fight, as in tile past
We hear the neighing of the steeds
And waken TO ourselves at last.
Instead of strife, the lutte of peace
breathes softly DER grateful land;
Instead Of arms, the dainty flowers
Are strewn about on every hand.
The Gray now mingles with the Blue
In that eternal sleep called death:
Their strife Is Ser and in the end
We mourn them all with equal breath.
FROM far-oH lands We come To place
Sweet blossoms OH the hOnOred tOmbs
And wonder vaguely--Will they see
Our offerings from their narrow rooms?
The empty sleeve Northman bears
Is matched by one nom Southern lands /;
The fair May blossoms they would streW
Find other eager, willing hands.
And as the One-time warriors stand
With tear-dimned eyes, to lend their aid
Their very actions seem to say,
This brotherhood hath all repaid"
Their strife Is DER. their work complete,
And that for which they stIove is done;
We who remain can but applaud
A noble battle grandly wOns
"They builded better than they knew
A gOodly structure fair land;
We mourn the dead, but gladly see
The Blue and Gray stand hand in hand.

Put the Cash In the Treasury Balances.

The New York Evening Post says
"The story told by Secretary Whitney
in his letter to the Commandant of the
Mare Island Navy yard touching the re-
pairs of the Mollican has all the charm
ola romance. The Mohican is a small
wooden ship OF about 800 tons dis
placement As IA man-ofwar, we need
hardly say, she is now worthless She
might, as cruiser, catch an enemy's
sailing vessel in calm, or if the wind
were light: but from the fighting ships
of any other maritime power she would
have to seek safety in flight. She was
taken out of commission in 1872, and
instead OF being sold or broken up
they set TO work to repair her. Dur
ing the thirteen years which have since
elapsed the repairs have steadily con.
tinued, until now their cost has reached
three times ssfys Mr.. Whitney, what
new ship OF the same character and
class could have been built for'--Or
$9O0OO0 More extraordinary still
two thirds OF this amount has been
spent on her within the last three years
under the administration of Secretary
| Bill Chandler, rs true and faithful u
Republican as ever trod a deck.
Moreover, there was, when the present
Administration came into power, no
sign that the repairs were near amend
There was apparently no limit to the
amount OF repairing the Mohican could
stand. She was evidently a Republi-
can ship, and would bear repairing rs
long as the party remained in power.
Mr.. WhItney's letter seems to call for
some answer from our old friend
Bill who is now up in New Hump
shire but we notice from the speeches
he has lately been making that what
occupies his mind is the condition Of
the negroes at the South in the matter
Of the suffrage. 1t is impossible that
under these circumstances he can stop
to explain why he repaired the Mohi-
cain so much. Wait till there IL no
solid South till there are no rebel
Brigadiers, and, our word for Il, he will
clear 1t all up"
