TIE Chicago Inter- Ocean tells n
good story about Calvin Il. Bricc. 1t
is so characteristic that as scientists
said about one of Edgar Poc's 40
alytical stories: IF it isn't true it
ought to be-" Years ago Brice
went to Lima, Ohio, and entered in
to partnership with Mr. Irvine for
the practice of law, under the firm
name Of Irvine q Brice. Brice was
the son Of minister and Irvine the
son of farmer. When organized.
Brice said Irvine, old fellow, this
won't do--a firm made up of two
strong Republicans; one Of us must
change Irvine replied: ell be
derncd If I change to a Demo
crat" But Brice said: "Old fell
low, il is business, and I will flip a
copper with you which shall be a
Democrat" Hauling a copper
from his pocket, he said "TaIs,
am Democrat; heads, YOU are"
Tails it proved to be, and Bricc has
been a Democrat ever since. After
the defeat Of Cleveland next No.
vember it will be in order for Col
onel Brice to plead business and toss
coppers again. The coin may not
come tails again.

THE LUNAR ECLIPSE.

III the citizens of Hopkinsville will
keep awake ill u o'clock next Sun
day night, they will behold, the sky
being clear, one of the most beautiful
and interesting celestial phenomena
the eclipse of the moon. The "pale
! goddess" will walk the empyrean ill
suddenly at midnight she will hide
her face behind the black, sad veil of
the earth's shadow.
The phenomenon of the 22I will
bear general resemblance to that of
Jan. IS, but there are two points of
difference. That in January occurred
about sunset, while this comes about
midnigh. The advantage of the
prospective event will be, therefore,
that it will be the more clearly and
longer seen, the atmospheric condi-
tons about the horizon not obstruct-
ing the view. The eclipse, too, will
be visible in another part of the
heavens, thus throwing new group
of stars into occultation.
The. time that will elapse between
the beginning of the eclipse to the
last point of contact will be about
four hours, and the eclipse will be
total about half of that time.

Shot Full Of Holes.

Last Saturday night Walter Weav-

cd these three young men rode ur,
hitched their horses and went in.
When they came out they met with a
volley from shot guns in the hands
of parties hid by the darkness.
Young Weaver fell, having received a
discharge of shot that filled him full
of holes from his thighs down. His
companions drew their revolvers and
returned the fire, and regular bat
tie was waged for few minutes.
Weaver was then taken to his home
by his two friends. After the bat
tie the attacking parties returned to
the house, and we are informed
pitched the furniture outdoors and
did everything possible TO break up
"the nest"
