The Pulaski Trouble.

The situation at the convict coal
mines at Greenwood, Pulaski county,
is still one calculated to excite grave
apprehension. or the five compan-
les of troops sent there, all but one
company, the Lexington Guards,
have been withdrawn. This COM
pany of % men is still encampe0
near the mines and while no demon
STATIONS have been made, further
than the firing off few pistols BY
drunken men around the saloons,
there is growing feeling that
trouble will yet come out of the mat
ter. The miners are waiting for a
few days to give the Legislature
time to do something and they will
be satisfied with nothing less than
the removal of the convicts. The
soldiers, many of whom are mere
boys, are having pretty rough time
camping out in rain and snow and
being kept Oh watch day and night
with but little ifany sleep, and are moi
having the good time that some OF
the boys probably thought they
would have when they enlisted.
Nevertheless they are conducting
themselves like veterans and doing
their duty faithfully.
The convicts are still at work, but
they are getting out but little coal.
They are totally disorganized and are
scared half to death. The natives do
not seem as friendly as they did al
first and very few of them visit the
camp of the soldiers.
The Legislature has not taken any
steps as yet towards the solution oil
the difficult problem. The State is
under contract to let the lessees work |
he convicts in coal mines and the
miners say they shall not be worked
my longer. If they are taken from
me mine the same trouble is likely
o come up in all other mines where
hey are worked. They cannot be
eturned TO the penitentiary because
here are l,l50 convicts and only 700
ellis and the State has no money 10
upport them in idleness. THIN
What can be done? An Alexander
5 badly needed to cut this Gordian
Knot. In the meanwhile Gov.
Knott is doing what is clearly his
uty in the premises-protecting the
onvicts with the military power OF

1.-THE MONK"


An Ocean CliT Which has Fallen Prey TO
the Wash Of the Sea.
An official notification from the
Danish Ministry of Marine announces
that Denmark is poorer by the loss of
an island and Of an interesting natural
object. South of the island of Sudaroe,
one OF the Farce group, a mighty cliff
rose sheer out Of the sea to q height Of
from eighty to one hundred feet,
Looked at sidewise from distance at
sea, it resembled great ship in full
sail; but seen from Sudcroe it pre-
sented the appearance of a monk,
whence it received from the Faroese
the name of Munken. The Monk was
not merely picturesque object; it was
also valuable land mark for sailors,
warning them against a dangerous
whirlpool which swept around its base.
but it is now only thing of the past.
Last year portion of the cliff fell
down, and this year all that remained
was broken off just below the water
line, leaving in its place a dangerous
reef, which is covered even at low
water. Fortunately it was uninhab-
tied, so no lives were lost. The occur
renee is noteworthy as proving that
the continuous wash of the sea, aided
probably in the winter by the action of
driving ice blocks, is able to saw
through immense masses of rock con-
sisting of hard basalt, cutting them
clean across at the waters cdge,-N Y.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
ApprOpriating $4,000, 1000 Passed
By The Senate.

WASHINGTON, Mtr;h G.-The edu-
cational bill as it passed the senate,
provides for eight years after its pas
sage, there shall be annually appro-
priated from the treasury the follow
ing sums in aid of common school
education in the states and territories
and District of Columbia and Alaska {:
The first year, $7000,000; the second
year, $l0,000,00O; the third year, $l5,-
100000; the fourth year, $l3,000,00O !;
the fifth year, $l7000,0O0; the sixth
year, $9,000,000; the seventh year,
100000. In all $770O0,000.
Besides this there is special ap-
preparation of 100000 to aid in the
erection Of school houses in sparscly
settled districts, making the total
fund $7900,000. The money is given
to the several states and territories in
that proportion which the whole
number of persons in each of the age
of ten years and over who cannot
write bears to the whole number of
such persons in the United States,
according to the census of 1880, until
the census figures of 1890 shall be OBJ
tanned, and then according to the lat
ter figures. In establishing separate
schools for white and colored chill
dren the money is to be paid out in
support of such white and colored
schools respectively in the proportion
that the white aud cOlored children
between ten and twenty-one years
old bear TO each other.
No state is TO receive the benefit of
the act until the governor shall file
with the secretary of the interior
statement giving full statistics of the
school system, attendance of white
and colored children, amount of
money expended, number of schools
in operation, number and compensa-
ton of teachers. No state or terri
tory is to receive in any year from
The fund more money than it has
paid out the previous year from its
own revenues for common schools.
If any state or territory declines to
take its share in the National fund,
such share is to be distributed among
the states accepting the benefits Of
The fund. If any state or territory
the fund or fails TO COM |
ply with the conditions, it loses all |
subsequent apportionment. Any |
state or territory accepting the pro |
visions of the act at the first session |
If its legislature after the passage of
he act shall receive its pro rata
'hare Of all previous annual appro-
,riations. The right 10 alter or re-
zeal the act is reserved by the senate

When the train comes to stop on q
siding between the stations something
has got to be done. The veteran rail-
road traveller either pulls out news
paper or settles down for a cat-nap,
and the responsibility of finding why
the train is standing here instead Of
laundering along twenty miles away
devolves upon Farmer Davis. Mr..
Davis got on two stations below, and
is going three stations beyand He
was at the depot just an hour and a
half before train time, aud he spent the
long interval in reading railroad adver-
tisements md walking up and down
the platform. lie didn't ask the sta
ton master if the train was on time
over twenty times, which was letting
him down very easy.
Now that the train has come to
standstill without just cause or provo
cation something should be done. In
deed, something shall be done, and Mr..
Davis is the man TO do it. He throws
up his window, crawls out as far as he
can, aud looks up and down the train.
He secs nothing to alarm, and nothing

The farmer goes out and walks down
to the rear of the train, but nothing is
in sight. Then he heads about for the
locomotive. When he reaches it he
finds the fireman oiling up and the ell
gineer smoking. He can't see that
there is a single wheel missing-not
one. The cow-catchcr is in its accus-

The Frankfort Yeoman suspended
this week and explained its action in
the following card:
"With this issue the publication of
the Yeoman will be suspended for a
period, the length of which will have
to be determined by the future. Bus
mess complications, growing out of
litigation affecting the interests of
one of the members of the firm, have
rendered the step necessary, and as
the best method of protection all con-
cerned, it has been deemed proper to
suspend until the affairs of the con-
Germ can be judicially adjusted. The
probable necessity for this step has
been forescen for some time, but 1t
was concluded TO continue the publi-
cation of the paper during the ses-
sion of the Legislature, embracing
the constitutional limit of sixty days.
AS, however, this has been Indefinite
ly extended, and as further contin-
uance would only tend TO greater
complication, we shall not endeavor
to prolong a struggle against the diff
fculties with which we have 10 con-
tend. For the benefit of those hav.
ing claims against the-frm, we will
say that we believe it to he solvent,
and that all will be paid upon the
proper adjudication of the court"
The Yeoman has long been one of
the leading papers of Kentucky and
1t gives us pain and sorrow to chroni-
Gle the suspension of an organ that
has done so.much good for the Dem
ocratic party.

GENERAL GRANT.


His Course at the Crisis of the Battle Of
Fort Donclson.
l saw the men standing in knots,
talking in the most excited manner.
No officer seemed to be giving any de
rections. The soldiers had their mus
kets, but no ammunition, while there
were tons of it close at hand. heard
some of the men say that the enemy
had come out with knapsacks and
havcrsacks filled with rations. They
seemed to think this indicated deter
mination on his part to stay out and
fight just as long as the provisions held
out. | turned TO Colonel j. D. Web
stcr, of my staff, who was with me,
and said: "Somc of our men are
pretty badly demoralized, but the
enemy must be more so, for he has at
tempted to force his way out, but has
fallen back; the one who attacks first
now will be victorious, and the enemy
will have to be in hurry if he gets
ahead of mo-" l determined to mako
the assault at once on our left. 1t was
clear to my mind that the enemy had
started to march out with his entire
force, except few pickets, and if our
attack could be made on the left before
the enemy could redistribute his forces
along the line, we would find but little
opposition except from the intervening
abatis. | directed Colonel Webster to
ride with me and call out to the men as
we passed: "Fill your cartridge boxes,
quick, and get into line; the enemy is
trying to escape, and he must not be
permitted to do So" This acted like
a charm. The men wanted some one
to give them General
Grants Memoirs.
