I'm THE GHT-WATCIIES.
BY MRS. GEORGIA HULSE MCLEOD.
She was only little blue-eyed girl,
Alone in poor attic-room,
Save, that angels by the Father sent
Unseen, peopled the midnight air.
She started from sleep, and troubled dreams,
''Oh I'm tired, and hungry. and cold.
Guess I'll go out, ana find my papa"
Said this lamb with no shelt'ring fold.
The broken shoes on her shiv'ring feet
She tied with string of Irvine,
81 guess my papa will buy me some boots,
When he gets the money some time"
Down the broken stairs, far into the night,
She went out on her weary way,
The wind made sport of her ragged wrap,
And blew her torn hood away.
tits awful cold, but there's fire know
In that room where my papa stays
With the other men, and sometimes, too,
A lady sings there, and plays.
wish my papa would stay with me,
For my mama has gone so far
AS high as the sky; wonder tonight
If her window is that bright STAR
wish she would speak one little wora
And call me her poor little pet,
I'm sure she loves me, tho far away,
Idon't believe angels forget!
I've lost my way. the place isn't here,

I'll wait for papa, he must come soon,
I'll sit on the steps of this store.''
Her father aid come with staggering feet,
Long, long after the midnight hour
And stumbled over the helpless form
OF the little human flower.
Frozen she lay on the drifted snow,
AS she prayed with her parting breath,
For him to come, who close at hand,
Was drinking the cup of death.

burly hands closed around his throat
aud the prayer he would have uttered
went out in an inarticulate gurgle.

its rooms tidy, sweet and clean, and

all Kentuckians like to feel when

The terms are ~ and $3.50 per day

make circuitous passages toward the
earth's surface. The burrow fills up
with earth as the insects asccnds, but
it keeps the upper six or eight inches
clear. In fine weather he comes TO
the top of the hole and peeps out at
the sun and takes the air. He keeps
this up for several days, until he be-
comes familiar with the immediate
surroundings. Then he goes on a
wide" voyage of discovery, selecting
the night for his adventure. His
ambition is to keep on getting higher
and if he starts up blade of grass he
will go to the top Of it and stay there.
Often he gets up on the trunk Of
trees, and more frequently into the
limbs. When he gets tired he stops
TO rest, and then becomes conscious
that he is a nobler bird than he knew

Another Cancer.

Abomt three years ago there ap-
peared Oh my right breast several
hard Jumps which gave me almost in
tolcrable pain. They continued to
grow, and finally developed into
what the doctors called cancer of the
breast. In short time found my
strength gone and my constitution a
total week. From robust woman l
was reduced to a helpless invalid.
Several of the best physicians of At
lanta treated me for cancer, but with
out improving my condition in The
least, and finally agreeingt that they
could do nothing more for me. The
cancer by this time was eating out
my very life, and for five months l
was helpless, bed-ridden creature.
About one year ago, at the sugges-
ton Of a friend, | commenced the use
of Swilt's Specific. The first influence
of the medicine was to increase the
discharge, but after a month or more
| began to improve, and this wonder
full medicine has brought back my
health again. now do all my ow Ii
house-work, am perfectly free from
pain, and feel like new person al
together. l cannot feel too gratefu
for this wonderful recovery, for l all
satisfied if it had not been for Swift'l
Specific / would have been in my
grave to-day. most cheerfully re
commend it to all those who ar1 sut

THE SEXES.
Some Interesting Figures Relat-
ing to Their Distribution.



Almost all Of the Southern States
have nearly equal number of each
sex. In Massachusetts the females
between twenty and fifty years of age
exceed the males about the same aye
by about l4,000. In seventy-eight
cities the excess of females is l4S,UJ0.
That illiteracy prevails more among
women is due probably TO the foreign
population. Women contribute less
to pauperism, the proportion being
$1,000 TO $4,000. The ration of prison
inmates stands 5,G6S women to 81, l60
males. Women are in excess among
the insane, men i'll excess among the
idiotic, blind and deaf mutes. The
proportion of women who engage in
occupations outside of the household
is smaller in the United States than
in foreign counties, but in no country
is the proportionate number engaged
in superior industrial occupations
equal to that in this country. OF the
264I000 women in occupations 595,
000 are engaged in agriculture, most
of them colored women in the South
ern States: 632,0J0 are in manufac-
tories, of whom about one-half in
New York, Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania; 2S2,000 are millincrs, etc.
10000 are tailors. OF the forty-foul
occupations recorded as "personal
service forty find women in them
The 525 female surgeons of 1870 have
increased to 2,473 the 7 lawyers tC
Is; the 65 clergymen to l65. The
number of laundries have increased
from 6l,00O in 1870 to $4,000, an(
of the halter l0S,000 are kept b!
women. This large increase shows |
great tightening of the housewife
labor.

SAMUEL S. BURDETT,
Newly-eleoted commander-in
Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public,

A popular lawyer of Washington,
Samuel Swineford Burdett, was elect
ed Commander-m Chief at the re-
cent Grand Army Encampment,
Portland, Main. lie was Department
Commander of the Department ofthe
Potomac IN 1881, and again in 1882.
Ills election was the result of an or
ganized movement representing Mr.
Burdetts great popularity in the or
ganization.
Mr.. Burdett was twelve years old
when, as the companion Of an elder
brother, he landed on the American
continent from his native England.
The brothers settled in Elyria, Ohio.
In due time the younger became II
student at Oberlin College. After
graduation he went TO Iowa, where
he read law, was admitted TO the
Bar, and soon won leading position
as lawyer.
At the beginning of the war he
Joined the army Of The Union, and
had risen to be a Captain when, IN
| lSbJ, lie was uetallcu US JuuHc AuNo-
cate at a station where lie remained
during the rest Of the struggle.
The war over he married Il wife in
Iowa, and, soon after, took up his
abode at Osccola, Missouri, where he
practiced law. lie was elected Ia
Congress in 1865 and again in 1870
Between July |, 1874, and October
1877, he was Commissioner OF the
General Land Office, an appointment
which lie resigned because his health
was bad. Extensive travel renewed
his Nigor, and he became partner IN
law business at Washington. lie
has made considerable money by hi'
practice, and owns the beautiful resi-
dencc in which Mrs. Burdett and h'
entertain their numerous visitors.

THE DANGER OF DEATH.

"The right of sclf-delense is not
limited TO the actual danger threat
cned. The danger Of death or great
bodily harm must either be real, or
be honestly believed at the time TO
be imminent and on sufficient
grounds. A reasonable apprehen-
sion Of dangeris sufficient ;and rea-
sOnable ground for belief that there
is design TO destroy life, TO rob or
commit felony; a reasonable and
well-grounded belief; belief arising
from appearances as they appeared
to him. Apparent dangcris mixed
question OF law and fact. A man is
justified in acting for his defense ac-
cording TO the circumstances as they
appear TO him.
THE DOCTRINE OF RETREAT.
"The law of sclf-defcnsc does not
require one whose life has been
threatened TO leave his house or to
sCcrete himself to avoid his foe.
When "a person without fault-in a
place where he has night to be-is
violently assailed, lie may, without
retreating, repel force by force, in
the reasonable exercise Of his right
of self-defcnse. lie is not obliged tC
retreat or 90 to the wall from an as
sailanl armed with deadly weapon,
and if he is driven to the wall so that
lie must be killed or sustain great
bodily harm, and therefore kills his
assailant, it is eXcusablc homicide
lie is not obliged to retreat, but may
pursue until he is out OF danger, but
when the attack is not felonious, tho
rule Of law is different.

RIGHT OF SELF F-DEEENsE.
When and How a Man Can Slay
Another and Have the Law
on His Side,

The right of scf-defense is found
ed on the law Of nature, and is not
superseded by the laws of society,
1t is right which every one brings
into society, and retains in society,eX
cept so far as the laws Of society
lave curtailed it. Every man has
right TO defend himself against an
attack threatening him with death or
serious bodily hari:I, and his inno-
cence will be presumed until his
guilt is established beyond reasona-
BILE doubt. The right is based on
necessity and arises where one mani
lestly intends and endeavors, by vio-
lence or surprise, TO commit known
felony on the person, habitation, or
property Of another. 1t is a defense
against a present unlawful attack /;
as where an assault is made with a
deadly weapon, or where one is as
saulted in his habitation, or where a
forciblc felony is attempted. The
law of self-delcnse does not require
one, whose life has been threatened,
to seek the protection of the law ;
nor Is he obliged first TO call on the
the authorities. The omission to seek
protection from the authorities does
not deprive him Of the protection OF
the law, or Of his rights of self-de-
iense.
Semi-weekly south Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1883-1889, 1885-07-07

THE DEG GREE OF FORCE ~ BE IsED'
"rhe right Of self-defense does not
include the right of retribution. A
party assaulted is justified in using
such force as is necessary to repel an
assailant, but no more, and if un-
necessary force is used he becomes
the assailant. The degree Of force
must not exceed the bounds Of de-
tense and prevention, and this depends
on the circumstances Of each case,
and the condition of both parties may
be considered. A party III possession
of property may use force sufficient
TO protect it. Whether a man is JUS
titled in employing in the first
instance such means of resistance as
will produce death depends on the
circumstances and the nature of the
attack, and he may not always use q
deadly weapon, and it is still further
wrong il it is concealed weapon
But if the taking of life is necessary
it will be cxcusable. 1t is always
excusable when in defense Of life
yet it requires great disparity OF
size and strength, and very violent
attack to excuse the taking Of life
a party may use whatever force II
necessary to avert the apparent
danger, although it may aiterwart
appear that the gun was not loaded
and that there was no real danger.
