 Two Life Long Friends.

CINCINNATI, O., Aug. SO.-The Times Lexington, Ky, special says: A duel to the death with knives occurred in Clark county, near Boonesboro, yesterday over the scandal feature of the Ashland con- gressional contest. John King, Breck- inridge man, living in Fayette county, met on the highway his old friend, George Cook, who lives In Clark county. Cook said any woman who went to hear Breck inridge speak was no better than courte- san. King dismourted from his horse, saying his wife and daughters had heard Breckinridge. Cook insisted 1t was shame. He also dismounted. Both drew knives and blood flowed freely, until Cook dropped, having three stabs in the breast. King has eScanAd.

wANTED-A MAN TO BURY.

The body polite can be likened unto the physical body. It oftentimes becomes contaminated by the events of time, by the idiosy ncracies of its component parts, by restlessness, by rebellion against re- straints, by startling shocks at the bold ness of chicanery, by mental alterations and nervousness generally, superinduced by desire to change, or by an inclination to "rule or ruin.''
 The grearest economic question of this day in America is whether political parties are the creatures of the people or the peo- pie creatures of political parties. Which one shapes the opinions, inclinations or policies of the other7 Is the individuality of man a safer, surer or more steadfast foundation for civil liberty than that basis of strength which rests upon popular thought and unity of purpose? This is a question for serious consideration.
 This is restive age-an age of disgrun- clement. There are many schools of poli- tics and these are made up of most singular combinations or ingredients, prominent among them just now the self-righteous member, and to this particular specimen of genus homo the attention of the public is directed. He is the 'Litfie Wifiie of the HS"A"A~@% soh5SaOid-SoO SOOo AOA this. -pefitical life, and yearns for early burial. The party of his fathers has passed successfully through many storms, but it has not kept apace with the grace and purity of the little po- litical Willie;" and the diminutive spec imen is about to break out at the back door, attach to himself pair of approved wings and fly away to another home, there to die and miugle with others of the defuncti. Willie's" complaints seem to be that the Democratic party does not measure up with his standard of reform; that the party has elected a President who dares to do what he conceives to be right, in spite of all the ''little Willies;' that the standard dollar is not the standard dollar, and that the Democratic party's administration has not given out enough to go round, and has left ''liitle Willie's" exchequer little short; that the lambs of his flocks have been feeced of protection by the Democratic party; that the Democratic Senate has fallen short in it's abortive effort at tariff reform; that the Democratic House has been too radically bilious in it's war against holy trusts and combines; 1; that Democratic Congress has done nothing; that a Democratic Congress has done too much; that Democratic rule and gold standard theories imposed upon the country by Democratic misinter preiations of fundamental party law have reduced property values and increased money power; that members of the Demo- cratic household are in the midst of tur- bulent and disunited condition, and that family jars disturb the equilibrium of the house cats, and nothing is as it should be. Hence .'Little Willie's" displeasure.
 Now, the great Democratic party is seek ing such man--that he may be buried. Pall bearers are awaiting him, and the Atlanta Constitution shall be used as his winding sheet. Farewell, "Little Willie. |" Vive the Democratic party, and peace to Little Willie's ashes

PRESIDENT LINCOLN was great admirer of "Don Quixote." Soon after his elec- ton he told a certain friend that he should learn the Spanish language. His friend supposed at once that the President was go- ing to send him as minister to Spain. So be went off and devoted himself to the study of Spanish. Then he returned to the President and said: ''Mr. President, have learned the Spanish language thor oughly, and can now write it with ease and speak it with f1uency." "Let me congrat- ulate you," replied the President; "now you can have the pleasure of reading Don Quixote' in the original.' '

THE Boston Traveller says: t'The gen. tlemen having in hand the boom for South ern development assert that New York and Baltimore business men are covertly op- posing the movement. One such election as Alabama recently had and one such cam paign as Butler and Tillman are conducting will do more harm than any opposition that New York or Baltimore can accom- plish. The South can never hope for white immigration so long as the old po- litical methods are adhered to-" This is not true. On the other hand, the only hope of Alabama's securing immigrants lies in keeping the State govern ment in the control of it's best citizens. If these lose control not only will immigrants refuse to come here, but white men now here will emigrate. A number of good citizens as- serted during the last campaign that if Kolb was elected they would leave the State, but he wasn't.

An Interesting Creature.

The slug and its habits and peculiari-
ties are well worth a little attention
from those who are fond Of the unusual
and curious things Of earth. A family,
upon m0EI4g into Il house, remarked
that the cellar was lined all over with
thin. shining tracks where some Shiny
creature had crawled. For a long time
the maker of the tracks could not be
found. but were at last discovered un-
derneath a box in one corner where the
mice had carried some leaves and
pieces Of vegetables. They were put
into a glass fruit jar and fed with
leaves and scraps Of vegetables. They
seemed to eat but little. but were con-
tinually crawling about the jar. At
the slightest sound they contracted
into a length of not more than two and
one-half inches, remaining perfectly
quiet for a few minutes, when they
cautiously put out their feelers and be-
gan to move. The head seemed to go
on. and the tail was still until the
body measured almost six inches,
when gradually the entire length
moved slowly along. As it crawled up
the side of the jar the under side of the
body could be clearly seen through the
transparent material. Its propulsive
power seemed to be a sort Of endless
chain arrangement that ran length
wise from head to tail. This slug is as
thick as ones little finger. The longest
specimen measured a trifie over six
inches in length.-N. Y. Ledger.
