NEW HA Ws.
THE NINETY DAY LIMIT ExPIaEs
oyr. Isr, AND MANY NEW
LAWS WILL THEN GO
INTO EFFECT.

All the effects, good and bad, of
the recent long legislative session
are not vet felt, for the reason
that a big bunch Of the laws ennct.
ed ut this session have not yet
gone into effect, says the Frank.
fort correspondent Of the Louis.
vile Times.
Under the new Constitution.
legislative acts without an empr.
gency clause do not take effect
until uinety days after the al iourn.
ment Of the session at which they
were enacted. The late Lcgisla.
thre passed nearly two hundred
bills which contained no emcr.
gency clause aud which do not.
therefore, go into effect until the
legislature shall have adjourned
ninety days. These, with the re.
naiuder of the |, 100 printed pages
of new or partly new acts, go into
effect Sunday noon, Oct. / which
is ninety days after the adjourn.
ment, which occurred July 3rd at
noon.
In the list will he found many
laws which even the legislators
have forgotten they passed, aud
which now rise into Significance
aud must be obsyed, They are
not as well known as the separate
coach bill. For instance one Of
those in the long list is entitled
'Usury and Interest,"" and one
section of it requires all the bank.
ing institutions of the state TO
make monthly reports of their
rates Of interest, exchange, etc,
to the governor for his aud the
legislatures information. AnOth.
er will make some change In the
business OfhUHteTs and hshcgmcn.
Still another will require that,
after October |, all proprietors of
biliiard.TOOms will remove the
same absolutely from contact
with bar or rooms in which intox.
icants are sold. One which will
effect the convenience and habits
Of the greater number of men is
that which prohibits barLering
on Sunday. 1t it is enforced
every barber shop in the state will
he closed on the whole of every
Sunday. The whole list is well
worth the perusal of laymen as
well as lawyers.
First and foremost among all
these new laws, which go into ef.
On October |, is the separate
coach bill, with the provisions Of
which the people are already IA.
mliar. It's execution will cause
considerable change in the rail.
road coaches run in this state; the
absolute separation of white and
cOored passengers, and the man.
ner IN which the different roads
will proceed TO carry out its pro.
visions, will be OF interest when
the work is actually begun.

THE man who offers against
Billy Breckinridge for Congress in
the Bluegrass district, in view of
the Pollard scandal, says the Lou.
!svil!e Commercial, will have to he
a "cuckOo,' as the small boy
would put it. And they do say
it's doubtful whether there's n man
in that section who has the nerve
10 open the jack pot" in the race.
The searching lights Of that noble
people will he turned on and the
question, Did you ever do any.
thing rs bad as BiIIyin will he put.
Then they'll go into his past, his
private personal. record; If there's
one iota of femiDlnity on the glim.
meiing shadows Of that mans by.
cones then there'll be light turned
on and a gnashing of teeth, etc.
They're all on the Iui vive for a
lamb. Billy has suffered, it seems.
and If one of those "high.headed,
elegant political gemmen" of the
Bluegrass shifts the air, as ifready
to make a start, he'd better think
OF all the happenings in the days
when he was young, or old for
hat matter

Kentucky has, says the Ben
ton Tribune, national reputation
for cutting and shooting scrapes
and family fcuds. Day by day
they grow more numerous and are
becoming a notorious disgrace to
the grand old commonwealth. At
picnics, festivals, camp-mectings,
in fact, at almost every sort of a
gathering there is trouble in the
tough element, which usually in
trudes upon well behaved and
law-abiding citizens, ard bloodshed
and murder is too frequently the re-.
suit. Severe punishment seems to
have no effect in the way of re-
formation, and if affairs continue
as they are it will not be long until
Kentucky will have use for two
more penitentiaries.

A ZEBRA HUNT.
Foll owing a Troop of the Most Beautiful
 Species Found in Africa.

After crossing the usual heated yell low pla ins, looking for all the world like an cxpanse of overparched hay droves of springboll we outspanned two and so rode back again across the hot, weary plain for camp. We had not long quilted the forest before we sighted good troop of BurchelPs ze- bra, feeding quietly We spread out in line and rode up to them.
 The troop, which consisted mostly of mares with yearling foal or two, was guarded by an old stallion, who stood sentinel nearest to us with his head up. Presently, turning half round, he gave some sort of signal, and the rest of the band gallope d briskly of, curvetting and capering as they ran. After nov ing a few h undrel yards the troop sud denly wheeled round in line to have a good look at us again.
 With their showy action, beautiful forms and rich coloring they presented Q very noble appearance. Indeed, of the four species of zebra now found in Africa. this zebra of the plains is by far the hands omest. It's perfect form, short ears. shapcly head, and full black and white mane-hogged just as are hogged the names of horses in the old Greek as-relief-distinct!y entitlc it to this position.
 These tactics of the zebras were dis ,,layed in g retreat of some miles, the olo stallion always covering the rear, until the troop, outflanked by Dove, shot off to the right and my chance came I galloped hard to intercept them; and, as they stood for minute on seeing me in the line of flight, got steady shot at two hundred yards The bullet clapped as if on barn door, and as the troop continued their flight l saw one zebra turn away alone. Pres ent.y she stood again. l was soon with in sixty yards, and with another bullet finished her. She proved to be a fine mare in beautiful coat, and her head and skin now decorate 2 room at home. - -.cngmans MagaZins

IF WE HAD BUT 4 DAY.

We should fill the hours with the sweetest things
 If we had but day, We should drink alone a, the pufest springs
 In our upward way; We should love with Q lifetimes love in an hour,
 If the hours were few: We should rest, Dot for dreams. but for fresher power
 To be and do We should guide our wayward or wearied wills
 By the dearest light: We should keep our eyes on the heavenly hills
 If they lay in sight: We should trample the pride and the diseon- tent
 Beneath our feet; We should take whatever good God sent
 With a trust complete. We should waste no moments in weak regret
 II the day were but one. If what we remember and what we forget
 Went out with the sun; We should be from our elamorous selves set free
 To work or to pray, And to be what the Father would have us be,
 If we had but day. Mary L. Dickinson in Christian al Work.
