Consolation.

When Molly came home from the party tonight
The party was out at nine
There were traces of tears in her bright blue eyes
That looked mOuTnfully up to mine
For some one had said she whispered to me,
With her face on.my shoulder hid,
Some one had said there were sobs in her voice.
That they didn't like something she did.
So l took my little girl up on my knee
am old and exceedingly wise
And said, my dear, now listen to me;
Just listen and dry your eyes.
This world is a difficult world indeed,
And people are hard to suit:
And the man who plays on the violin
Is bore to the man with the flute.
And myself have often thought
How very much better 'twOuld be
If every one of the folks know
Would only agree with me.
"But since they will not, the very best way
To make this world look bright,
Is never to mind what people say
But do what you think is right"

OTHER NATIONS.

Noticeable, also, is the statement
that protest has been sent to Spain
against her failure to protect the rights
of American citizens in the Caroline
Islands. The agreement for the ar
bitration of the Behring Sea dispute is
announced without mentioning its
terms. Americans in China, will be
protected against mob violence which
now, however, is assuming the fora of
an insprrecti0n against the Govern
ment. Queen Liliuokalani is seeking
for Hawaii closer trade relations with
the United States, and a favorable
word is said for the proposed cable to
Honolulu and for fitting up naval
station at Pea RI River. Our Govern
ment, relying on its historic friend
ship" for Russia, has as a sincere
well-wisher," expressed to that coun-
try, its serious concern because of the
harsh measures being taken against
the Hebrews" there. A guarantee of

Glad FidingS.
BY TIE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

There's good time coming, coming,
We have often heard it said,
But in vain we listen for it,
As it comes with nOiseless tread,
In its Journey, ever onward,
To the future distant shore.
In COlumbia's land of freedom
MAY il knock at every door,
With some comprehensive blessing,
In which all may take part.
So that, in the home of freedom,
There may be no aching heart.
We shall welcome its arrival,
When ourselves we strictly school
In the precept and the practice
OF the SaviOur's golden rule;
When au honest son of labor,
mechanic poor commands
More respect than wealthy sluggards,
With their jeweled idle hands.
When worthy man in hOmeSpun
Shall be honOred more by all,
Than knave in shining brOadclOth,
Though it came from TOWER HALL,
Where a Bard in songs and sOnnets,
Says for Clothing bll he con.
Yet believe with Scotia's poet,
at is worth that makes the man."
Men of worth are always prudent
And in buying Clothes so all
Go where prudence points to guide them
To Mammoth TOWER HALL.

The Presidents Message.
CHILL.

The leading topics of the President
Harrison's message are foreign affairs
and the finances. What it has to say
of Chill is of grave importance. After
declaring that our naval and diplomat
ic representatives in that country
Obeyed their instructions to preserve
absolute impartiality and scrupulously
to avoid interfering in the recent civil
war, it stated that the bloody assault
upon the Baltimore's men at Valpa-
raisO, was committed on peaceable
and orderly men. That outrage had
its origin, says the President, in hos
tility to these men as sailors of the
United States, wearing the uniform of
their Government, and not in any in
dividual act of personal animOsty.
Chill. was accordingly requested to
furnish any facts in its possession that
tend to "relieve this affair of an ap-
pearance of insult to this government"
and was notified that if such qualifying
facts did not exist, full and prompt
reparation would be expected. Chili's
reply, says the president. was couohed
in an offensive tone, so that no FelOin-
der was made. And now should "no
satisfactory and adequate response to
the original note of our Government,
follow the pending investigations at
Valparaiso, or should further needless
delay" opcgr, the President will call
upon Congress in a special message
for such action as may be necessary.
There is no installing this language,
which throws light on the recent
movements of our war ships.

Pig to Pork in a Wink.
HOW MEAT Is MADE FOR NAN OUT IN
CHICAGO.

HOW MEAT IS MADE FOR MAN OUT IN
CHICAGO.
Some observant traveller, who visit
ed the great stock yards of Chicago.
remarked that in the killing of the pig
everything except the squeal is made
to serve some useful purpose. This is
literally true. In the great slaughter
house of Armour & Co., 1,714.OOO hogs.
$4,000 cattle, and $4,000 sheep were
Killed in the year ended April 1st last.
THE BRIDGE OF sIGHs.
Each lot of animals is taken from the
receiving pens, weighed, and then
driven across the Bridge of Sighs''
to an upper story 0f~the building.
where they are killed and dressed,
descending with each succeeding stage
of the process, until they reach the
ground in a condition for shipping.
A hog is swung up by one hind leg and
as he passes the butcher a sharp knife
sewers the main artery in his neck and
then the struggling animal is plunged
into vat of boiling water to loosen
the bristles so that they may be easily
removed. An automatic arrangement
pulls him through a machine that
scrapes off his bristles in about ten
seconds.
AS the pOrker passes rapidly along
the operating tables a score of. opera
tiOns follow each other. The carcass
is inspected, the head is nearly sever
ed and the body is slung up ready for
the next man, who rips it open from
neck to tail for disembowelling. Every
portion of the internal organs is care
fully removed, cleansed and prepared
for some useful purpose. The blood is
used largely for making albumen for
Photographic use, for sugar refining
and as a fertilizer Even the bones
and refuse are ground and used for
fertilizers,
AN ENDLESS STREAM OF ANIMALS.
After the carcass has been carefully
cooled in rooms which are kept at a
temperature below forty degrees, it is
run along the overhead railway to the
cutting up department, where it is
taken down and separated into two
sides. A workman with a powerful
chopper cuts off the ham shoulders and
underlying ribs if necessary, sepa rat
ing the feet to be picked, canned or
passed to the lard tanks All of this is
done with a rapidity and accuracy
that is incOnceivable to one who has
never seen the operations and there is
an endless stream of hogs alive and
squealing, passing in one end of the
building, and coming out at the other
end prepared for shipment to the mar
kets OF this country or to foreign
shores, where the American hog is q
welcome visitor.

A SOUTHERN POEM IN DRAMA

l never saw this so fully exempli-
lied as the other day, when I was one
among big audience looking at that
poetic play, Alabama" The orcbes-
ira had played about the "Suwanee
River" had dwelt on the "Old Home
IN Kentucky" and all through that
house, crowded with women and chill
dren, there was perfect silence. You
saw handkerchief quickly lifted to
wipe away tear from an eve. and if
you looked close you saw a mother
put her hand on her daughter. and
everybody felt the better for the songs
OF the south-the songs of real peoDle
Like all good sOutherners l think this
IS one great country, since, as they saw
IN the play, 1--WE can breakfast in
pennsylvania and sup in Alabama y

forget my home, and so the plav. with
us sweet, pure, story of loyalty and
love, appealed to me. Go down IN anv
southern town, and you will meet the
Colonel Moberly, of this play, with
his frOck coat buttoned tight and his
soft felt hat crushed in; no business is
too pressing t9 keaD hun from showiD =

THE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR.

The New Orleans lynching, on the
other hand, though pronounced to be
'mOst deplorable and disCreditable
incident" did not arise from any gem
eral animOnity TO the people of Italy,
or any disrespeOt to its Government.
Unfortunately Italy's claims for indem-
nifty were not presented in way to
promote calm discussion, but this is
ascribed to "the indignation and ex-
element which the crime evoked"
aud at all events friendly conclusion
of the affair is expected.

THE YEARS PROSPERITY.

Agriculture has furnished this year
a wonderful addition to the country's
wealth. The grain crop was the larg.
est in our history, fifty per cent larger
than last years, and in value, as Sec
rotary Rusk estimates, 100000 900
larger. The value of meats was $780,
100000 greater than last year, and in
brief, the total farm product was
S7OO,OOO,O00 more. European restric-
ton on our pork products alone had
cost US S20,000,00O a year, and now
Germany, Denmark, Italy, Austria and
France accept these products again in
consequence of our new system OF
meat inspection.

Makes the
Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine "makes the weak
strong" 1t does not act like a stimulant,
imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow reaction Of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purihes the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.

My strength left me and felt sick and mis-

THE MCKINLEY ACT.

THE MCKINLEY ACT.
Turning to trade and finance, Mr..
Harrison expresses the opinion that
the Mckinley act is very favorable in
its average effect upon the prices of
articles entering into common use.
He denies that it bears oppressively
on the people, and says that it has
created several great industries, which
will, within several years, give en-
ployment to several hundred thousand
American working men and women.
He hopes that the depression in the
price of silver is temporary he holds
that its free coinage under existing
conditions would be disastrous to our
business interests. The President is
sure that there is a growing sentiment
in Europe in favor of larg,~ use of
silver, and he knows of no more effect
ual way of promoting this sentiment
than by accumulating gold here.

Argued the Pint.

The demurrer of the application Of
Hon. Walter Evans, Capt. Silas F. Mil
Ter and others for an injunction
against Col. Z. Polk Johnson, Public
Printer, restraining him from print
ing and distributing the new Consti-
tuition was argued on Monday night
before Judge Warren Montfort by Col.
Evans for, and Attorney General
w. j. Hendrick against, the granting
of the injunction, when the Judge
took the matter under advisement.
A large crowd was present in the
courtroom and the arguments were
listened to with great deal of inter
est. Tuesday evening Judge Mont
fort rendered his decision sustaining
the demurrer, and the case was APP
pealed to the Court of Appeals.

Held Over to- the Federal
Court.

Newton Simpson, of Owen county,
was arrested by Deputy U. s. Marshal
Con. McCarty, and brought to this
city upon the charge of OBTAINING
the United States mail He was
tried Wednesday afternoon before U.
S. Commissioner Chinn and held in
the sum of one hundred dollars to
appear at the January term of the u.
S. Court. 1t seems that Newton,
while under the influence of liquor,
met the mail carrier upon the road
between Lusby's Mills. Owen county,
and Corinth, Grant county, caught
his horse by the bride, detained him
in the road some time and demanded
his money, drawing whisky bottle
upon the carrier to enforce his de-
mand. The carrier demonstrated
with Newton, but he became violent,
cursing and swearing, which fright
ened a lady in the stage, who began
to scream, which drew a farmer liv-
ing in the neighborhood to the spot,
who took Newton away.

Must Serve Out His Term.

Mrs. Hume Clay, of Paris, came to
this city last week and made per-
sonal appeal to Gov. Brown for the
pardon Of her husband, who is now
serving term in the Penitentiary on
the charge Of forgery. The Govern
or carefully considered the papers
in the case and on Monday announced
his determination not to grant the
pardon, as there we're no palliating
circumstances to justify him in doing
80. Clay is at present employed in
the broom factory and runs small
printing press used in printing labels
for the brooms. Should he serve out
his term he will be an expert press
man, if not printer when released.

Judge Perry Missing.

Judge ]. w. Perry, who represent
ed Owen county several terms in the
Legislature and was afterwards
county judge of that county, but for
more than year past a resident of
Lexington, left the latter city about
the first of July and has not since
been seen. His wife and daughter,
after waiting in vain to hear from
him have gone back to their people
in Owen county. He left ostensibly
to go to the mountains to look after
some valuable coal lands and was
heard of two weeks later in Mt.
Sterling. The record the Hon. Bill
made while in the Legislature was
not an enviable one, and the people
of Frankfort will have no cause for
regret if he never returns.
LATER-A letter was received from
Judge Perry by gentleman in this
city on Wednesday, stating that he
was in Morgan county, engaged in
surveying nine hundred and fifty
tracts of land. If the tracts are Of
any size he must intend to take in
the whole county.

The switch is down, has been used

Careful of His Health.

George Brewer, deckhand on the
Steamer City of Clarksville, was
ordered to move some barrels upon
the wharf in this city, when the boat
came up the first of the week,
and declined upon the ground that it
would injure his health. He was
promptly discharged and when the
boat reached Louisville Tuesday he
got out an attachment for it, claim
ing his pay for the trip. The case
was tried before a United States
Commissioner in Louisville and the
attachment dismissed, the court
holding that he had engaged for the
trip, and having violated his con-
tract was entitled to nothing.
