Jim Breathitt Nominated.

The Republicans, at Madisonville'
Saturday, nominated Hon. james
Breathitt, of this city, for Congress,
Mr.. Geo. w. jolly, Of Greensboro,
was placed in nomination, but his
name was Withdrawn before a unani-
nous vote was cast for Breathitt.
Mr.. Bourland, of Hopkins, made a
handsome speech in nominating "our
jim"
Col. A. ii. Anderson resigned as as.
sistant elector and his place was filed
with Mr.. G.. IL. Towerry, of Webster.
Jim Breathitt is fit material for
a congressman. He is skilfull de-
batter, powerful advocate, shrewd
logician, gifted in voice and gesture,
with platform demeanor that be-
comes an orator-but with one fatal
defect he is republican. tits truly
pity that sucha nice fellow should BIO
ruined by such political tenents.
There is but one thing that will keep
him from making a first class con-
gresham and that is enough votes TO
elect him in November. He will
probably accept the nomination aud
do his little level best to defend his
rotten Republicanism from the pierre
ing darts of Bill Ellis bow.

Some Predictions.

Robt. S Payne, of the Fourth dis
trict, predicts frost that will stair
tobacco, between the Goth and 23l Of
September. He bases his prediction
on his own observation of more than
twenty years and that of the late
John Gold, who grew sixty-five crops
of tobacco
Mr.. Gold stated TO Esq Payne
when the latter was a young man
that since he had become observant
of the weather be could recall only a
few times in which biting frost did
not fall six weeks after the first cold
spell following July 4. This season
the first cold spell commenced Au.
gust 0. Six weeks added to this aud
the conventional three days of grace
which Esq Payne claims, and the
frost will fall the night of the 22d of
September. Mr.. Payne says, after
close observation, he has known this
rule to fail only two or three times In
the last quarter of a century, and in
Difference to 1t he expects TO COM
mence cutting tobacco Sept. Is, that
he may have it Off the hill before the
eventful night.
lie also expects killing frost about
the middle of October, in Difference
to the prediction of the katydid,
which began singing in the first half
of July, an indication that a killing
frost would fall in ninety days.-To-

Thousands Of peoplo in every mart

Thousands of people in every part
of the world are failures all their
lives and remain In eterna, obscuri-
ty, for the reason that whenever an
opportunity appears, they are never
ready to act, and procrastinate until
the golden chance is past, and lost
TO them forever. On the other hand
are men who are no more intelli-
gent generally, who though pluck
and energy are always alive to the
opportunities. Such men get on
rapidly, while the other class remain
in poverty. The one class is
thought lucky and the other class
unlucky; but the one does something
through plucky, energy and enter
prise, while the other does nothing
through timid hesitation. Here is
an opportunity such as is not often
offered. Those to whom it is offered
who have the energy and enterprise
to take right hold in earnest, will
do grand business and reap large
profits; while those who timidly hest
tate, will get nothing. And in the
majority of cases their course in
this matter will be their course
through life. Now is the time.

Rev. Burdett Hart Reads a Paper
 About the Italian Patriot.
 About fifty were present at the meeting of the Congregational club last night in the United church chapel Supper was served by the ladies of the church. Rev. Twitch- ell presided at the meeting, while Rev M. Merwin acted as clerk. Several new mem bers were added.
 Rev. Burdett Hart of Fair Haven read 8 carefully prepared paper on Ugobassi, the Italian patriot priest in the emancipation of Italy from the temporal authority of the Popes. The whole life of Ugobassi was given to his country and he was captured and kill ed by the Austrians.
 Professor Baldwin by request spoke on the subject of Catholic influence on our institu- tions. He did not think the Pope meant any harm. He was only trying to increase spir- itual instead of political influence. H. G. Newton had good word to say on the direct ness and plainness of the preaching of the clergy. They could give lessons in duty and daily life which our conservative preachers would not dare to give. Rev. Dr. Bushnell made 8 telling address on the sim pie, right down good work of Catholic family servants as preferable to native and Protes- tsnt servants. Uhe unity of the old Catholic church in all the ages made it's power. Bad ly wrong at times it turned and adapted itself, as now, to tho new conditions of the world around. He deplored the responsiveness of all Protestants towards enthusiasts, men of genius, and, above all, the woman power, and while Catholic, made the most of all such Protestants, misuses and represses such great powers for good. Rev. Mir. Lee took decided exception to this view and maintained that in the freedom of the Protestant church was it's strength. 0. B. Whitcomb came in late and spoke with much point and good humo1 for both sides. That the free institutions and no Catholic or sectarian religion would control our country seemed to be the conclu- sion of the club.

The piece was con the Trail, or Daniel Boone the Pioneer" and the company included a few actors, five horses, eight real Indians and 8 trick donkey. The play was put on the stage in the regular old time blood-and-thunder style. Light ming and rain, tomahswks and bowie-knives, muzzle loading muskets and self cooking re- volvers were used in many 8 thrilling combat between the pioneers of Kentucky and ths Cherokee braves under the leadership of Si- mon Girty, a renegade white whose nasal tones gave token of the villainy in his heart. Those in the gallery thoroughly enjoyed themselves and their frequent bursts of ap- plause rival1ed the war whoops of the Shaw nees.
