than in diplomacy. He seemed TO think
1t the thing to speak his views on local
matters quite as freely in Berlin as in
Sam Francisco, and the result was that
the official press, Bismarck's organ lead
ing, made the temperature very warm
for him. His high character as man
remained unblemlshed, but he returned
home with the frank confession that the
paths of diplomacy were quite too slip
perry for him. John a. Kasson and
George Fl. Pendleton followed in turn
and made the residence of the American
minister o place of delight for scholars
and travellers of American and other ma
tionalitieS. Lastly came William Walter
Phelps, whose success is the pride of
Americans of all parties. lis successor

Bancroft to Phelps.
Life is very, very pleasant at a for
eign court to any American minister
who is a man of culture, with mod
crate degree of diplomatic training or
even of tact and native capacity for it
without the training, and with wealth
enough to enable him to entertain with
out embarrassment. The position Is
one of just sufficient dignity to make
it agreeable to the natural man, yet
not enough to cause an embarrass-
ment OF attentions. In all the walks
and drives, at all the receptions and
court balls, the American minister has

The question of rank still rank!cs, as
one diplomat has put it. 1t is still a
trifie annoying that the representative OF
monarchy like Spain, for instance,
should take precedence because called an
ambassador, and that the American
minister should bring up the tail end OF
the procession. But such formal affairs
are very rare, indeed, and for the most
part ones social standing depends on
himself. AS rule, there is very little
indeed for an American minister to do.

WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs. Yost built a type
writer, the Remington No. and
Caligrsph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the NEW
TosT, which rises superior TO the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull 1t along, weakens manifolding
and costs IS or $40 a year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 81 year. And as

is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.

POLLARD VS.. BRECKIN-

Miss Madeline Pollard on Sat
urday filed suit against Col. w.
c. P. Breckenridge, Congressman
from this district, in the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia,
for $50, 900 damages for breach Of
promise. The plaintiff charges
that she was led astray by the
defendant when she was a school
girl at Cincinnati seminary, and
alleges that two children were
born as, result Of the intimacy
there formed.
Miss Pollard was born in this
city, and is a daughter of the late
John d. Pollard, who was in the
saddlery and harness business here

GETTING ANXIOUS,
THE COMMISSIONERS WANT
THE CONVICTS TO GO
TO WORK.
Col. COrbett's Successor.

At meeting Of the Board Of
Sinking Fund Commissioners held
on Monday. Mr.. G. H. Stone,
Circuit Clerk Of Spencer county,
was elected clerk at the Kentucky
Penitentiary to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation Of
Col. Thos. H. Corbett.
The board also decided to open
negotiations for a plant sufficient
to employ about six hundred
convicts in the manufacture of
chairs in the penitentiary and
appointed Maj. H. S. Hale, State
Treasurer, as a committee
to conduct the negotiations.
The recent plots among the con-
victs to make their escape have
awakened the Commissioners to
the fact that if the prisoners are
not put to work soon there will be
serious trouble and perhaps
bloodshed at the penitentiary.

Closed for Travel.

AS the work on the abutments
for the new bridge has been COM
menced in earnest, the sidewalk
on the lower side Of the bridge
has been closed for travel. 1t was
too good a loafng place for the
small boys, and the superinten-
dents of construction who were
serving without pay. The gang
which gathered there annoyed the
force at work on the river bank
below.
Fora time Wednesday it looked
like the whole structure would be
closed also, as the excavation for
the foundation Of the new abut-
ment on the south side caused the
earth under the old abutment to
cave in and carry down a portion Of
the wall with it, which caused the
city authorities to stop travel until
they could get false work enough
under the end of the bridge to
hold it up.

DELIBERATE bTTLNPT AT ASSASSINATION.
News reached here yesterday of bastard
ly attempt on the part of Sam Nicely, q

in his home, in CASTOR county. n. c., near
the York county line, last Friday night.
MIR. Alien recently had occasion to rcbuke
NeeIy for shooting at his chickens with n
bow and arrow, and the negro sought
revenge through assassination. Ills plan of
carrying out his dcvilish purpose is describ-
ed as follows:
Going to Mr.. Aliens house late at night,
Neeiy found the DOOR locked, with tho key
sticking On the inside. Having first stuffed
under the door cotton rag to muftle the
noise of the falling key, he pushed it out of
the lock with small stick and allowed it to
fall to the floor. The rag was Withdrawn
and with ii came the key.
Unlocking the door, the negro entered
the house and passed through the rooms in
search of his victim, at las: finding him in
his bed sound asleep. There was q revolver

ray The effort of The State administration
to mix temperance with dealing in whiskey is
like trying TO mix oil and water. 1t can't be
done. The man that deals out whiskey, for
revenue. in dispensary, under the State
law direct. can no more be u temperance man
than one who sells it under town or city
license in tarroom, authorized by State
law. Neither can you mix dignity, morality
aud happy prosperity with whskey SELL
ing. Show us one man that has died rich
from selling whiskey, even by authority Of
law, and VIC will point you to hun ireds whs,
after making money frsm the traffic, have
died poor-oflen miserable their
innocent families with no moral or social
standing in tho community, and stain upon
their character that years Of exemplary con-
duct cannot erase
Look back as far as you may along the
corridor Of time, and the same results from
the same evil are plainly visible. Wrecks of
men and women, fathers and mothers, sons
and daughters, whole families of the whiskey
sellers, as well as their victims, the unfsr-
tunate whiskey drinkers, are strewsd along
the whole pathway. Right here, in Union
county, the curse can be painfully but truth
fully pictured from past history.
And all this ruin and decentralization has
occurred to individuals, acting under au-
thority of law, and can VIC expect anything
better for the State at large, when, under
its constituted authority, it assumes the
whole responsibility fer the evil traffic.
thereby defantly inviting the curse to fall
upon the whole commonwealth.
And in the face Of such indisputable evil
results, we find leading temperance men and
women, influential members Of the church,
seeking positions under the dispensary law,
to sell the accursed stuff, with the imprac-
tiea', (if not sycophantic,) plea Of controlling
its sale and to prevent drunkenness. We
cannot think that Mr.. Traxler, the chief
dispenser at Columbia. q christian gentle
man. does or can raise his eyes to heaven
aad ask God 8 blessing on the barrels upon
barrels Of whisksy, as they are rolled into
the dispensary. If it will not stand that
sSo' ~ 10 Hoiehy huu III Otate law
can make it right.
AS we said once before, We believe the
dispsnsary law will prove o serious disaster
and stumbling block to the general welfare
Of the State. We can see no good but much
evil to arise from it, and we are truly graf
ifed to find that church congregations of
all denominations, have set their faces solidly
against their members giving countenanoe to
the law; and our sincere hspe is that the
church will continue to stand solidly oppos-
ed to it, in evory way. In our opinion tbs
church should preserve distinct, dignified,
and united attitude against the law Her
action should be Of and within herself, act
uated by a pure christian duty 10 God and
man. Let the outside world fight the war
of words and factional strife, but let the
church stand alone, quietly exercising its
benign influence for the peace and honor Of
our beloved State,
