Elk. Gov. Jas. ID. Porter is out in the
papers in a long letter on the poIiti-
cal situation. 1t is a strong letter,
such as Gov. Porter is capable of
writing. He regards the Third party
as the offspring of disappointed Re
publican office seekers, and speaks ON
other questions. But the main object
seems to be in support of Mr.. Cleve-
lands. claims to denomination, re-
gardless of his opposition to silver.
He yields his own long settled opin-
ions to the views of the ex-President,
ami argues that the Democratic party
has not yet delivered an authentic
opinion on the silver question. With
all due respect to Gov. Porter, it
requires a great deal to make that
very plain fact authentic to some
people.

A Blacksmith Saves The Life of A
Little Girl.

LlCtle Glfl.
Minnie Carey was perhaps as near
leaving this world as anyone can he,
to recover. She was sick with ch0l
era morbus: completely exhausted
and unconscious. The physicians in
consultation pronounced her case
hopeless and beyond the power of
cure. Chas. J. Newcomb, a black
smith walked four miles through the
darkness, rain and storm to get rem
edy he had himself used, and which
he firmly believed would cure her.
That medicine was Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
He obtained part of II bottle, with
which he hastily returned, and gave
the little sufferer half teaspoonful,
which relieved her and consciousness
gradually returned. The medicine
was given in broken doses, and in a
short time she was well. He is posi-
tive that it saved her life, and has
others in that vicinity. For sale by

Fixed to the Rail BY ELECTRICITY.

A very peculiar case of shocking by
electricity occurred in Shelbyville re-
Gently. The victim was William Lou
den. who works at the Hotel Ray. In
front Of the hotel is an iron veranda
running to the third story. An electric
wire passes from the street into the room
occupied by George Goulding in the
hotel building This evening when the
electric light was turned on heavy
rain was falling. The electricity appar-
emily had heavily charged the iron YER
anda. Louden came out Of the hotel
and stood with his back against The iron
railing. In an instant he was shocked
and fixed in his position Hiss frightful
yells attracted a big crowd. Charles
Huffman ran out of his store, and, touch
ing Louden, was also badly shocked.
Louden finally fell on the sidewalk. The
two men are badly burned. Cor. In

Three American ouee,,s.

Three little dirty, half clad girls made
brief sensation on upper Broadway the
coolest day recently. The eldest wa
not more than eight, and her companions
might have been six and seven respec-
lively. The eight year-old carried 4
faded, rib rotten parasol that had once
been pale blue, and her two companions
were trying to squeeze their heads I'M
der it, while they carried the rear Of
their short dresses In one hand, as ladies
manipulate their trains at muddy
crossing.
The-eldest divided her attention be-
tween the proper angle for the parasol
and getting her little skirt down low
enough to touch the sidewalk, which
she occasionally accomplished by stoop-
ing. Three pairs Of feet were visible
through the dilapidated shoes, and the
shabby old July hats wouldn't have
been picked out Of the gutter. And
these three little girls playing lady on
Broadway were evidently delighted at
the good humored attention OF stalwart
gentlemen in heavy listers, ladies in
costly furs and carriage drivers muffied
to the ears in warm livery. New York

DR.. Augustus Le Plongeon writesin the
New York Herald an explanation Of the
blood flowing from nail marks in the
hands, feet and sides Of woman at
Louisville, while the woman Is In state
Of trance. The woman is extremely de-
vout. attending the Catholic church
daily. The walls Of her room are COW
cred with pictures Of the crucifxion.
She meditates constantly on religious
subjects Added 10 this she can neither
read nor write. She remains at home,
with nothing to distract her mind from
religious meditation. She Is attended
and surrounded by devout Catholics like
herself, those who believe lii the genuine
ness Of all the ordinary traditions con-
nected with the cruciixion.
Such are the conditions. At stated
intervals the woman sinks into trance.
The frances come on Friday, the day
fxed IN popular belief as that on which
the crucifxion occurred. Blood oozes
from spots in the palms. feet and sides
Of the woman, and she suffers agonies OF
pain. Cold science takes mp the case.
whose genuineness there is no reason to
doubt. and answers: Imagination, All
imagination. DR.. lie Plongeon says ply
sicians we'll understand that the ilnagi-
nation in susceptible subjects is able TO
accomplish even this seeming miracle.
The oozing Of blood through the skin
under powerful mental emotion is thor
oughly authenticated in the annals Of
medical science. A powerful hypnotixer
could easily produce this effect on the
simple minded kentucky woman, or abe
could hypnotic herself unconsciously
and produce the same effect. Travel,
change Of surroundings, other influences
acting powerfully on her mind. would
cure her.

Southern Literature.

It Is altogether probable that the COM
ing American novelist will hail from the
south. Thomas Nelson Page gives in
Lippincott's Magazine sketch of the
work In literature dome by southerners
since the war which is full Of informa-
ton, There is touch Of the pathetic
in the story Of how southern writers
toiled on unrewarded and unknown.
There were no southern readers. The
south either would not or could not pay
for books; the north would not believe
at first that southerner could write
anything worth reading. During the
war q few melancholy attempts were
made at publishing, but with u touch of
humor Mr.. Page remarks that paper was
very scarce indeed. and the government
needed most Of it to print money on.
Still, Augusta ]. Evans novel, Ma
caria, published during the war, ran up
to sale of 10000.
After the war southern women were
the first to take up literature. Augusta
j. Evans wrote ''St Elmo which be-
came popular in the north In 1870 a
new novelist appeared on the scene, one
whose nom de plume is Christian Reid.
Her stories at once attracted attention,
as they still do. But they are ENG
ish in treatment to be Of the pure
American type, Mr.. Page says. Mary
E. Bryan's novels are read by the thou
sand too.
Numbers Of southern magazines sprang
up. but they languished few years and
died for want7ef support. The poets of
the south, Paul Hayne and Sydney La
nier, wrote till they found an audience
even in the north, where the prejudice
against everything southern was thought
to be so bitter. But they died before
reaching the full reward Of their labors.
1t is notable the number of gifted in
dividuals who started IN literature in
the south, walked over the thorny road
little way and then passed out Of life.
Perhaps the bitterness OF disappoint-

and crushed them. At any rate now,
though, the south cannot complain of
want Of recognition in the north or in
the world. Famous southerners are in
every field. Joel Chandler Harris has
made a world wide reputation in Uncle
Remus" and other publications as a hu-
morist. In the field of fiction perhaps
the south will distinguish itself most,
however. There is George w. Gable,
with his stories of Creole life. Even
though cultivated Creoles do not talk
patois, these stories are Of thrilling in
terest. There is field for literature In
the south richer than elsewhere in Amer

they stood eying each other and paving
the dirt for fully minute. Then they
made d simultaneous spring, and came
together with noise like falling tree.
So violent was the conclusion that the
animals were thrown back until dis.

between them. The men, fascinated
with tho night, watched the deer 3D.
through the same performance again
and again.
Finally, after more than usually
violent rush, The bucks did not separate
but struggled Il II apparently trying til
push each other back. II soon became
plain to the men, however, that instead
Of pushing they were pulling away from
each other. In other words their horns
had become locked, and from raging
combafants the bucks became fright.

OF taking advantage Of the helpless con

They made 4 great rush for the scene,
but before they reached IL the deer in
their struggles approached too near the
edge Of the cliff and both Of them fell
to their death In the pool below. When
the party reached the water the deer
were found locked in each others horns
quite dead.
